1.5-Mile Run (Cooper): Males, Age 70-79

What these numbers mean

A value around 18:39 is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Scores below about 15:38 fall near the 25th percentile or lower, indicating above-average performance (lower is better). Scores above about 22:22 fall near the 75th percentile or higher; about 75% of the reference population scored lower.

These norms come from the Cooper Institute’s self-selected preventive-health cohort, which is typically fitter than the general population, so times may be faster than population-wide averages.
