I am not a runner and working to improve my running and sprinting. If I had access to a treadmill do you think I could try running 5km(3.13miles) and 2.4km(1.5miles) at a speed of 7mph?
For my sprinting I want to work on short sprints of 40m and 20m and get them to under 6s and 3s. Then for the 400m and 800m I want to be at 1:15min and 2:45min. Do you think by uing a treadmill I can get these times right away as a non runner?
Please let me know your thoughts and how I should be able to get there. I will have to see what I can do curently next time I have treadmill access.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Running 800m in 2:45min is close to a 6 minute mile pace (10mph); while elite athletes can run at a 4 minute mile pace – during my younger/fitter days (using a treadmill) I could run at a 6 minute mile pace for 10 minutes.
As a non-runner, I doubt very much you could run for 800m at a 6 minute mile pace, but with exercise your ability to run faster times should improve.
