    This may be a very stupid question...but I'm a very stupid person, I was wondering how many km is in a mile, and also what the average time for a male to run a mile in is.

    1.6 kilometers in a mile. There no such thing really as an average time for a mile, too many variables.

    You can google this info, that would have taken less time to register here to post the question.

    1 mile = ~1.61km.
    Approx 5 to 6 mins.

    I would have to disagree with this, amongst the average population, 5-6 minutes is way above average. You are underestimating how unfit the general population is! :P

    Don't waste your time worrying about what the average is, focus only on yourself. Comparing yourself to other runners is not productive imo, go out and do a run, time yourself and then in a month to six weeks from now do it again and see how you have improved.
