I haven't run a race yet, I have one in August too, but my PR is 39.08 walking/running.0

My first 5K was 35.43 (50yo). I haven't done one in over a year but my best time to date is 33.04. I know I'm slow and I'd love to be faster but I've decided I'm just not built for speed! Love it nonetheless though0

Great thread, I recently started going back to the gym. it's not the same you guys are talking about I guess but I set the program to rolling hills and try and make 5k... which takes me around 46 minutes more or less. I mostly walk it at 6.4kmh (4.1mph)
For some reason I always used to set my work out to a time or calorie goal, but I find the distance more motivating now0 -
If you're curious, you can check some times and see what your age-grade would be. This is how you stack up against others in your age/gender and against world records.

I ran my first 5k like 14 years ago and have no clue want the time was. Just recently started loving running. First 5k (Nov 2012) was 39:00, most recent race (Tuesday) was 30:08! I'm super stoked about my progress!
that's incredible progress good for you!0 -
My first was 32:28. I wasn't paying attention to the time and was just plodding along. I now usually am around 28:30. Just having fun and not pushing it. I enjoy 5k races.....I just go out and have fun. I don't put any pressure on myself.0

1st starting out 38 min. Now 32 min!0

I ran my first 5k today. My time was 24:10. I was very happy with that I would suggest you practice the actual course of the 5k run before the day of the race. I did that and I beat my best training time by 4 minutes.0

I haven't done a race yet...for some reason I'm really nervous about it! But my PB in training was around 34 minutes. I dream of a 30min 5k!0

Two and a half years ago, started running simply as the most efficient exercise to lose weight and have been addicted ever since. Ran my first 5k this past Thanksgiving, 25:34, ran another one 2 weeks ago at 24:52. Spent the last two weeks reviewing my running style and have realized that I am a glider vs a gazelle. Since that change, and it is still new, I have been turning over 22 minute 5k''s.
Needless to say I am reenergized. Training for 10k in June, half marathon in July, and marathon in Sept.
Nice job everyone.0 -
My fastest was just over 27 min, but that was when I had been training and running regularly.
My 5k time this morning was 30:55, which is right in the general area of the last 3 I have run.
There are always walkers and stragglers, so if you've been running at all, you will be far from last0 -
I"ve only been running a couple years and I've only raced in a few 5k's. But my best time was a 25:44. I typically run 4-5 miles a few times a week...although I've been slacking lately.
My favorite distance is a half marathon. For me It becomes more of a mental challenge at that distance and further. I'm running my second FULL marathon this October and I'm really excited for it.0 -

Thank you!! I race a lot and I'm hoping I can stay consistent and slowly get faster! I have a race this coming Tuesday, then next Sunday! Woohoo!!0 -
No races as of yet, but my 5K split time this morning was 27:08. My first run was xmas day and the split time then was 37:31. Wouldn't have noticed that if not for the question. I'm pretty excited about the progress over 4 months.0
