If you use a treadmill the average jogging speed is 4.0, when I work out and jogg on the treadmill the most comfortable speed I can jogg long distance with is between 4.5 and 5.0 Using the treadmill versus running outside is easier on your joints but you burn more calories by running outside in less time.

Well I started running at 14 and I think my mile time for training was about 6:05 but now im down to 5:05 a mile and im only 16. It just depends on how many miles your doing and how many speed workouts youve done. Try Fartlek workouts or negative split workouts if you dont like working out on the track.

As far as treadmills there softer on the joints and knees then they are on the street. Try running on the street against traffic instead of the sidewalk because they tend to be harder.

Running outside is better for you period, your body adjusts to different more natural elevations, and same with your lungs getting used to different temperatures while working them is a lot healthier. As for the joints at first its not good on them but after awhile its even better because the harder strain you put on them the stronger they will heal in the end, and the stronger they will be in other aspects of life! As for the averaqge speed for a 14 year old... no idea im 19 and I would say im about 17-23 km/h on average. Goodluck running is great!

I think it will be somewhere around 4 miles an hour if you jog but it depends how much effort you put in so I guess about 4mph. I dont run but am going to start soon, like tomorrow. I live in braunstone town which is a great place to go running, jogging etc. By the way I am 13 and I wanted to know this so I looked it up just now. It says 6.9 mph for an average 36 year old male but you are only 14 so it would be less.
