    Every 5k starts at 0:00:00 ... some end with lower numbers than others and there's always another one at a later date to try to go faster.

    I lift more then I run so for me pushing myself is a 35 minute 5k, and relaxing pace is around 4.5mph on the treadmill so around 45 minutes. I have asthma though as well so I run at a pace where I don't die and don't need medical assistance but feel like I am getting a good workout.

    So you lift first and then run? No wonder you're slow!

    I am not a runner, and 90 pounds over weight.

    My first 5k was a Biggest Loser Run/Walk (Which I recommend) and I didn't pay attention to the time. Finishing was enough for me.

    I ran a 5k loop on the treadmill yesterday, 2 mins walk, 2 mins jog and finished in just over 52 mins.

    My 1st 5k was downhill for 2km, flat for 1.5km and 1.5km of giant hill. I did it in 42 minutes.

    haha yup I would rather have my full strength for my lifting and just enjoy my run after if I decide to do one.
