Is 1.5 miles in 15 minutes okay for first time runner?

[Ninjaturtles99]

I went running today for the first time ever and I managed 1.5 miles in 15 minutes, I know that's not great, but for a first timer is it at least okay?

That means you were running at an average pace of 6miles/h. You could be faster but it's a pretty good pace if you're only starting to get into running.

If you've never ran before its okay. Plus it depends on your size too.

1 mile/13min for me
cherish the fact your legs work properly and don't feel like your knee bones are being shattered every step of the way

It's not bad. I can run 1.5 miles in around 9.18 seconds.

[Opinion Owner]

I meant 9 minutes and 18 seconds.
