    Mine was 41:30. Lots of folks were faster, but I was much faster than the people who "wanted to but never did" sign up for the race :)

    I think it was a bit less than 31. Can't remember the exact time.

    My first 5K was 32:48. My first race was a month prior and it was a 10K that I wasn't at all prepared for. I ran that at 1:19:29

    Don't worry about your time for your first race. Finishing is a victory in and of itself. Plenty of time in later races to finish faster...

    You'll do fine, have fun.

    My first 5k time was 21:37 when I was 15 or 16. I need motivation to lose a bit of weight, because I find it much easier to run when I'm thinner. I can only run national races if my time hits 19 within a month, and ive been gaining weight due to a majority of reasons, mainly lack of discipline, family get togethers, and studying . Ive been running longer distances lately, (up to 10 miles) and I thought I should be slimming down by now. Sorry guys, im probably coming off really petty!

    28:00, haha, wish I had known this, I'm sure I could have gone faster the last couple of meters^^ But considering that I couldn't even run 5k at a time before I started couch25k, it's great :)

    My first one was earlier this year . Made lots of changes since turning 50 still too heavy to run so was hoping to finish it under an hour and I came in at 50min 50 secs I was thrilled aming to get my times down as the weight comes off
