What is the average run distance for young women?

• A. 1.53 miles
• B. 1.60 miles
• C. 1.37 miles
• D. 1.45 miles

Answer: (C)

The main idea is reading normative data for aerobic endurance tests. For young women, the mean distance in a standard run test sits around 1.37 miles (about 2.2 km). This value represents the central point of the performance distribution for that group, so it’s the best match for the “average.” The other distances reflect higher levels of fitness (higher percentiles) within the same group, not the average. So 1.37 miles fits the typical population mean used in CSCS reference tables.
