Is a ten minute mile slow?

Yes, if it's a run. No, if it's a jog.

Realistically...very few people could run an entire mile without stopping or at least slowing down without previous training. I agree with answer number "2". I am a casual/beginning runner also and have been training for about 2 weeks now. Below is my latest average for a more realistic idea. I am 6'3" 205 pounds, don't smoke, and the worst thing that has ever happened to me medically was a bloody nose.

Day 12...34 Minutes...Speed 4.41 MPH...0.20 MPH Speed increase from yesterday.

This average is over a distance of 2.5 miles with one fairly small hill I would call it more like a knoll.
