What's your 5k time?

I ran my best time a few days ago . I was under 25 mins for 3.38 miles.0

From 270 lbs.in September and not being able to walk up the driveway without being out of breath to 229 lbs. and 27:15 5k outdoor. Still working on it but not bad for 3 months and a week.0

25 min flat and that was the 2nd run of a duathlon.
Keep in mind that everything else being the same (weather/temp, terrain, and your VO2max), for every 5 lbs of weight you lose, this will translate to approx. 25 secs faster on a 5k. So if you drop 25 lbs, you should be over 2 mins faster on a 5k, again assuming everything else is the same.0 -
Just because someone runs a marathon I wouldn't call him/her a professional. Two different types of muscles for fast 5k and a normal Marathon runner.
My PR 5k is 19:59 last spring.
I did an easy 3 miler last night at 21:59. It was the first time I had ran on pavement (off trail) and that short of a distance for a bit.0 -

I've been running regularly again for about 6 months. I'm a leisure runner. Running 5k and 10ks a few times a year. When I got back into running my 5k times were 33-34 minutes. I've worked down to 23:45. Hoping to be able to do it in sub-7 minute miles this year. Continual training with running several times a week and varying your runs between longer slow runs, interval runs, tempo runs, etc you can speed up your pace! Best of Luck!0

I was making a comparison to myself to see where my time falls with those who are similar to me.0 -
Best time was this thanksgiving day, 17:51. Still good enough for a 300PFT, hoorah.0

My PR is 22:44 but I usually run it in just under 24 minutes.0

My one and only 5k...last October, 36:010

I was a sprinter in my teen years; never thought I could run more than 1.6K.
The other day on the treadmill I ran 5K in about 28-29 minutes. I'm not sure if the treadmill was wrong/broken; it just seemed "fast" for me. I never thought I'd be able to run 5K. I rarely do cardio; I mostly weight lift, so I was surprised...
I'll try it again tonight0 -
I'm just started unning and am only setting personal goals. As of today I can run a 5K in just under 30 minutes.0
-
My last run outside was 3 miles and 30 minutes exactly! I want to run faster.0
-
I run a 5k on the treadmill almost everyday but I'm not the normal runner. I use to power lift now I'm trying body building.0
-
My PR is 30:13, that was a 5K I did last year. I hope to be faster one day as well0

January 2011: 41 minutes
December 2011: 35.47 minutes
First 5k of 2012 is Sunday and I hope to be under 35 minutes.0 -
My time is usually around 32 minutes no matter how much I run!!0

I did a 5K road race on New Years day and my time was 33.30. During that race I did have to stop at a RR crossing while I waiting for a train to go by so that slowed me down by about a minute but I was still proud of that time!
You had to stop for a train in an ACTUAL RACE? OMG that sucks. what poor route planning by the event coordinators.
My fastest time is 41:10 set last week on New Years Night. I don't have any kind of speed, but I'm ok with that.0 -
This is something I'm wanting to improve on in 2012. My best time was when I was in my 20's I ran a 21:36. Last year at 48 I ran a best of 23:27. My goal this year is to complete one under 22 and keep up with my 16 year old boy! :bigsmile:0

last time I ran a 5k in a race I was a little over 29 minutes. I wish I could go faster!0
