Runners! Beginners, C25K'ers, vets, let's hear those 5K times.
I measured a 5K route and did C25K W4D1 today, with a finish time of 39:23 (that's including a 10 minute warm up brisk walk too).
As I'm a beginner, I have no idea if that's good, bad or ugly, so how's everyone else's time?

I am not a fast runner. I am, however, faster than I USED to be. I'm still training right now - my first 'new me' 5k is April 30th. I've been doing mostly treadmill work right now, and my best so far has been 41:25. Ironically, this was with two long incline blocks built in. I anticipate the real race will go faster just because of adrenaline. My fastest ever was just under 39 (like 7 years ago), and I'd like to beat that if I can....0

My best 5k time so far has been 23:48 I have been running for about a year now so i dont know if I would be a vet xD haha I went from running an 11 minute mile to under 7 in that amount of time tho :]0

I started the couch to 5K this morning... in a few weeks i'll be able to add something to this post ; )0

27:02 on my last 5K, will be running a race on Saturday and I hope to better that.0
-
I am about 35 minutes.0

My first 5K (and only one so far) on March 19 was 29:26. The 5K portion of my tri this past week was 29:17. My goal is to get under 25:00.0

Go to the bluenose website and look up past race results for your age group. That'll give you an idea.0

Did a 5K a couple weeks ago. 31.14 = 10.03 pace.
Mile one killed me between an overpass and the normal pack separation. I paced mile 1 at 11:35, paced 2 and 3 at sub 9:40.
I need to do another one soon. I think I can get to sub 30.000 -
My fastest 5K ever was 34 minutes, and that was being pulled by a dog in icy conditions. lol I enjoy running but I'm not fast by any means. Have a half marathon coming up in July and would love to PR!0
-
I did a 24:21 last May, which is my PR. I'd like to get under 8 minute miles.0
-
Last summer I think my best one was 23:08. However, I have already run some paces this year on longer runs that would put my 5K time in the low 20 minute range. So once I am recovered from my marathon, I will be looking to break 20:00 in some of the summer 5K's.0

19:34, PB.0

Lol....im so behind every one! I did my first this last sunday in about 40 min!0

No way! We're already faster than the people who are sitting on the couch eating Doritos! Be proud! I'm super proud of myself for running 5k in 39:23, because up until about January 2011, I was one of the Dorito-Eaters! (Well, actually kettle chips were my poison )0 -
5K is a nasty beast of a distance to race. A couple years back I ran a 19:49 (~ 6:23 per mile) - that was a seriously painful endeavor!0
-
I'm on Week 3 of 5K 101 (I did Week 1 for 2 weeks and am doing the same for Week 3), and I did my first 5K distance on Saturday. I actually did 3.4 miles altogether (it was easier to map my route this way) and my time was 39:08. I wanted to just fall asleep after that!0
-
My fastest 5K has been about 31 minutes. Haven't really ran that much lately as I've been trying to incorporate more intervals into my running. Hope I can speed things up! =D0
-
My best was 21:00 about three years ago. But I stopped running right after that and just started again this year. So, right now it probably would be closer to 24 or 25 minutes.0

I was thinking the exact same thing!0 -
18:56 last April, two weeks until I give it another crack. I want that average 5:59 so bad. I need no wind and a cool day.
They are so painful....0 -

Nice - we have a winner! Not only painful, but no margin for error. One bad split and you're pretty much toast.0 -
Did a timed 5k on saturday 26:56 was pretty chuffed with the time, but legs hurt for two days afterwards. I'm hoping to use it as a motivator to keep running and my aim is sub 25mins - hoping that is not too optimistic!0

Wow, you guys and girls are good. I'm only into week 7 of C25K and this is day one run of it .... http://runkeeper.com/user/Zuznana/activity/31429698 . I was quite proud of it, even with the 5 min worm up and the extra walk home at the end. I'm in race for life in July and really wanted to get to do it in 30 mins, but if I live in dream land, I would want to run in in 25 mins really.....:laugh:0

Today I ran a 5k in 33:27 minutes.. I just started running a week ago so i thought that was pretty good for myself0

Best was like 37 mins, but I'm back above 40 atm.0

Are those the Vibram shoes in your profile pic for running?? How are they?0 -
I ran my first one in March at 31:05 I think. I got a 10k in a couple of weeks, hoping to do it in an hour.0

My first 5K is April 30th! Can't wait! Today I ran 3 miles in 36:01.0
