5. John set a goal to finish a six-mile race in an hour. He can already run three miles in 35 minutes. His goal is realistic, so he's likely to stay motivated to complete it successfully. True False

Answer 1

True. John's current pace allows him to run three miles in 35 minutes, which means he runs at a pace of about 11 minutes and 40 seconds per mile. To finish a six-mile race in an hour, he would need to maintain a pace of 10 minutes per mile. Since he is already running half the distance at a pace that is not too far off his goal pace, it is reasonable to assume that with additional training and conditioning, his goal is realistic and he is likely to stay motivated to complete the race successfully.
