Running Laps (equivalent in miles?)


Question Posted Wednesday September 1 2004, 12:56 pm

Every morning at basketball practice, we run about 10 laps? (6 minutes) and today we did 22 laps in a college sized gym. Do you know the equivalent in miles to that? (6 and 22 laps)

Not all gyms [[ even college sized ]] are the same size, so yeah, I'm really not sure. I'd guess about 8-1O laps to a mile, but I really don't know.

well in my middle school gym (regular gym +aux gym, it was 1/12th of a mile, on the track it was 1/4th of a mile, A college sized gym is probably anywhere from 1/4th a mile to 1/2 a mile

Sorry I couldn't be more help!

um well im not sure...but my track..if u ran it in middle school it was 1 lap was 1/2 mile..which was the outline of the whole courtyard..which was pretty damn big..but if u ran it in junior high...1 lap was 1/4th of a mile..
if you run a distance of a mile..and u know its an exact mile..time your self..on how long it took you to run the mile..or so..then..after you catch your breath and all..and you have enough of energy to run..remember your time in your head..or use a stop watch..and run as many laps as you can in the same speed of when you 1st did it..and you should be able to know.. or ask your coach or the head of the college campus??

well, not all gyms are the same size... now, the indoor track that was around my high school's gym was an eigth of a mile, so 8 laps per mile - you can probably use that as a very rough approximation. If you are running just around the basketball court itself, then this distance is much smaller.. in fact, I'd guesstimate that 10 laps might be a mile, but still could be short of a mile.
