    Congratulations!! That really is fantastic!!

    My first 5k I thought I was going to die...and it took me 49 minutes....

    I am happy to say that I have done about 4 now (2 years time) & I am clocking in at 33 minutes!

    I am impressed with all of your times...Next goal has to be to get under 30 minutes!

    My best race time is 24:40, but I'm out of shape from that these days, it's around 28.

    I can't run because of the pain is causes in my back, but I walk 5k's a few times a year. Best walking time so far is 43 minutes. Finished one yesterday with my 5 year old daughter in 1 hour 5 minutes, carrying her the last 1/2 mile.

    My first was 40 minutes, my PB is 34 min. I have COPD from years of smoking so struggle with my breathing, but I refuse to quit

    Terrific! I tend to do longer races, but when I do speedwork I can run 5K in about 25 minutes. Those younger kids can run me off the road (one of my son's friends has a PR under 17 minutes!), but it's plenty fast enough for me.

    Everyone's goals are different (age, gender, body type, etc.), but maybe we should all have one goal in common: keep getting faster!

    I did my second 5K Saturday at 51 minutes, and it was as fast as I could possibly go. I'm 100 pounds overweight, and I stilled jogged a lot of it. Go me.

    Great reading about all these running achievements! :bigsmile:

    My avatar is me completing my first ever cross-country half marathon in 2 hours and six minutes! Amazing to think that 2 years ago I was an overweight, chain smoking wine guzzler...!

    My first was 33 Minutes and I got down to 23:54 in the same race a year later. It's amazing what you can do with dedication. Good luck going forward!

    Just had to share and wanted you to share too!

    I finished my FIRST 5k at age 47 in 31:39. I placed 734th out of 1851 entries and 100th out of 280 in my age group! (Yay me!)

    Come on runners-share your accomplishments!

    WOW that's excellent! Congrats!!
    My fastest time was 34 minutes but I'm looking to beat that during the Thanksgiving 5K in my town.

    I drove a route around my neighborhood, trying to figure out what path would be around 3.1 miles, which equals a 5k.

    I've done that route twice now, as I'm training for my first non-walking 5k which is on Oct 20th.

    29 and 27 minutes so far.

    I'm hoping my measurements are accurate, as my goal was to do it in under a half hour.

    There are tons of websites you can use to measure your routes. They are very accurate. Here's one.

    My best official 5K time is 24:21 (back in August). I went for a 3-mile run yesterday and completed it in 22:45, so I'd guess with the extra 100 meters (0.1K) it would have been just over 23 minutes. Never thought I'd be able to get it down to that.

    i have only done 5k mud runs (and a color run). this past saturday i ran my first 10k (normal race). finished the 10k in 1:17. as for the mud runs (and the color run):

    rugged maniac 5K: 1:20
    zombie escape 5k mud run: 1:05
    color me rad 5k: 36 minutes (probably the closest thing to a straight 5k race)

    in 2008 i ran an 8k (very first race ever) in: 1:25

    First 5K time was 36:49, second one was 33:35. So I'm making progress. hoping to eventually get it under 30 minutes, but that'll take a while. Never been a runner, never thought I could be, so I'm pretty happy about this.
