Runners: 5K, What's Your Time?
Replies
-
I decided to put myself in a 5K next year, and started training Monday this week, walk/jog routine, so probably more walking than running just at the mo, but my time was 49 mins. Second session tonight & hoping to improve on that time!0

I've only ever done 2 of them, but they were a little less then 29 min time pretty goood for a beginner i think *0

A 21:26 last Fall has been my best since I was a teenager.0

My PR is 28:42. It was my only race, did it this past spring. Usually I run somewhere between a 10 and 11 minute mile so more like 30-33 min for that distance. I've been having trouble with side stitches lately so that's been slowing me down quite a bit0

Not the fastest, but my fastest, and that's what counts.
^^ Love that!!0 -
^^ That is just awesome!!! LMAO!! Sounds like something I would do and then post it on the fridge! Lol0 -
Snails going backwards move faster than me! 29 minutes for my last 5k. I'm going to attempt a half marathon in October. Wish me luck!0

I thought the question was PR...maybe not.
My first (post-injury/high school x-c days) 5K was 29:45 in April 2010. In August 2010, I was down to 24.05. I've raced quite a few 5Ks since then and have only knocked 58 seconds off. Current PR is 23.03 and as I stated before, looking to go 21.xx by year's end. Once my marathon is done with, I should have a good chance at doing that...thank you holiday 5K season!
I am very new to this, and ignorance on the matter has hold... I have no idea what "PR" stands for. I will take a wild guess and say "Personal Run"?? As opposed to a 5k that you run in with others?... My question was all of the above!! Give me your PR's, your 5k's, your anything and everything . I just had no basis of an "average" to see where I stood at. Yes, my main goal is just to complete this 5k, with it being my first one ever. But knowing where I kind of stand as far as time range with others it has helped my confidence... I'm pretty sure I won't be last to cross the finish line, which is all I ask for besides finishing0 -
I did the couch to 5k program last spring and ran my first 5k on father's day. My time was 42:07. At 47 and 239 pounds it felt amazing just to finish I have continued to run and hope to do another one soon, it was fun!0

PR is 19:49 (6:22 pace), but I almost never race them any more.
My least favorite distance to race. A well raced 5k is wall to wall pain and there is almost no margin for error. Longer distances leave room for bad splits here and there.
Well! I'm glad it's not just me. I tend to enjoy the whole experience, but I'm pretty miserable while I'm running.
You should be if you're out there to compete. The goal of a 5k should be to puke or pass out at the finish line.
"To puke or pass out at the finish line"
Freaking LOVE that!!0 -

PR = Personal Record, often equated with PB, which is Personal Best.
I distinguish PR as an official race time and PB as something you do in training. But I don't pay any mind to PBs myself.
The average (as you can see) varies greatly, depending on weight, experience, training and a slight bit of genetics/natural ability.0 -
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for commenting!! I don't run with anyone and had no clue before what the "average" time for a 5k was... So I had no idea where I stood or how bad/good I am.
My first run (6-15-12)was on the treadmill and I only ran 1.75. My time which includes a warm up and cool down and stretch was 40m.
All my runs since then have been outside, either around the neighborhood or a track at the local park. A total of 7 runs since then, and I went from 2.25 miles in 27:37 to 3.14 miles in 33:46. Considering before getting into shape and before getting into running I couldn't even run down the block, I'm pretty proud
Again, thanks all for the info, the support, the advice, and all! I will post how the 5k goes so if your curious look for it. It's September 8th, and I'm excited!!0 -

here's a link to lots of race times - if you look at the results pages
www.compuscore.com
you'll get an idea for how you would place.0 -
Worked my way from just under 40 min to 21:29
That is crazy amazing!!! I hope I can get there someday. How long did that take to cut your times that much? Did you do interval training?
It took probably about 2 years, I lost about 8 pounds and trained mt tail off! In that time I also got really serious about triathlons which helped my overall fitness. Just keep at it! I try and have a long run day, easy run, tempo/speed day, and then a brick run(run after a long bike ride)0 -
30 minutes flat. And proud of it.0
-
I ran(walked most of it) my first 5k 1 year ago at 48 minutes. Today I ran my second one and ran it in 32:12 so that would be my PR. In between last years race and today I only started running 5 weeks ago. I felt pretty good about my accomplishment today running at that time until I seen most everyone else's time in the low to mid 20's. Guess I have some work to do.0
-
my first 5K race last September was 37:55, i did a 10K last Weekend and my 5K split was 26:16 Im possibly going for a 5K in a few weeks to set a new 5K time but thats about right for me0

I just ran mine in 30:10 Best time ever!0
-
30 minutes flat. And proud of it.

-
Both ran on a stress fractured foot I did a 10k in 1:18 and a 5k in 39. So aapparently I'm a pretty steady pace with a hurt foot0
-
I did my first one last September and was 34 minutes, now I can do it in 26 to 27 minutes, my last one I did was a week ago after a swim and bike ride and did it in 27 mins0
-
I ran 25:10 today on my own, but my best time this year in a race was 23:40. I prefer longer distances.0
