What is a good 3/4 court sprint?
Anything under 3.00 seconds for 75 feet, or 22.68 meters with no reaction time is considered exceptional or world class.
A mile is 5,280 feet. A basketball court is 94 feet long. 5,280 feet divided by 94 feet is approximately 56. So 56 full court sprints equals one mile in distance.
Divide the distance covered by your time to calculate speed. In the previous example, divide 35 meters by 5.2 seconds to calculate your speed of 6.73 meters per second.
Finally, sprint to the far baseline and back. Running time should be between 28-32 seconds. Recovery time should be 60-90 seconds between repetitions. Start at one sideline and sprint to the other sideline and back.

It's longer than a lane at the bowling alley. It's longer than two telephone poles stacked end to end. And on a basketball court, have a look. It's the distance between the free throw line at one end to the opposite baseline.
Thunder Sports Institute 17s
A common basketball conditioning drill, 17s requires you to run from sideline to sideline 17 times in just over a minute. Although your goal is to complete 17, set a minimum of goal of 12.
After dividing 5,280 feet by 288 feet, we see that it takes 18.33 laps to make a mile on both college and National Basketball Association courts.

The average sprinting speed for many athletes is 24kmh (15mph). Running at that speed over 100m will give you a time of around 14 seconds. Elite athletes will be running around 26mph.
What is a good time for a 100m sprint?
11 seconds for the 100m is considered fast, as many athletes who train regularly will aim for this barrier to beat. Many fail, some succeed, but you can call yourself an excellent sprinter if you're running under 11 seconds for the 100m.
Treadmill Sprints to Try
Then, depending on your personal fitness levels, increase to a sprinting speed. Generally speaking, this ranges anywhere from a 7.0 to a 10.0 on the treadmill, give or take, but remember that your goal should be at least 80 percent of your max effort.

Basketball. Depending on the position, an NBA player will run between three and four kilometres per game. From 2016 to 2018, Portland Trailblazers guard CJ McCollum led the league in distance covered, travelling over 330 kilometres in each of these seasons, including 346 kilometres in 2018.
A standard outdoor track is precisely 400 meters around the innermost lane. Since a mile is 1600 meters, four laps around a standard track will amount to one mile. The width of the standard track is divided into eight-lane and only lane 1, the interior most lane, is 400 meters in length.
If you're swimming in an Olympic pool (50 meters long), a true mile is equal to 16.1 laps. If you're swimming in a short-course pool (25 meters long) a metric mile is equal to 32.2 laps.
800 meters: roughly ½ mile or 2 laps around the track. 1600 meters: roughly 1 mile or 4 laps around the track.
A noncompetitive, relatively in-shape runner usually completes one mile in about 9 to 10 minutes, on average. If you're new to running, you might run one mile in closer to 12 to 15 minutes as you build up endurance. Elite marathon runners average a mile in around 4 to 5 minutes.
