    Good luck on the 5k... I've been thinking about signing up for one soon.

    So let me a a dumb question... I'm working my way up via treadmill.

    Would it be better for me to get my time down for a mile, and then slowly build up distance from there?

    Or continue my 3 miles, and try to get my time down?

    Maybe I'm asking the same question... I've had a rough afternoon. lol

    I say focus on distance rather than time. The time will speed up as your endurance increases. My first 5k was 35 minutes. My second (a couple months later) was 31. Now I do 10k's in about 65 minutes and 5k's in about 28.
