Is 15 seconds a good 100m time?

15 seconds per 100m is the right pace for 3:45 for 1500m or 4:01 for a mile. so if you are 26-years-old you will probably not break 2:00 for 800m in this lifetime, but if you are 16-years-old you show a lot of potential.

Is 27 seconds good for 200m?

It doesn’t require tremendous speed to run a single 200m in 27 seconds – I would have done 8 to 10 in about 27–28 seconds (although with a running start) with about 2 minutes rest, and that was as a middle-distance runner and 3000m (just under 2 miles) steeplechaser.

Is 29 seconds good for 200m?

Is 35 seconds good for 200m?

For an end to a distance runner workout, no. I normally run 35 or less as a “finishing touch” to a distance workout, and do that maybe 4 times. If you are trying to join a Varsity Track team for the 200m, then yes, that is a very poor time.
