\bf \begin{array}{ccll} minutes&miles\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 6.2&1\\ x&26.2 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{6.2}{x}=\cfrac{1}{26.2}\implies \cfrac{6.2\cdot 26.2}{1}=x

that many minutes, which boils down to about 2hrs and 42 minutes and 26 seconds.
