What's your 5k time (running)?

Just interested in what would be a respectable time for 5k. Not planning to run a race, just for my own information!

I really enjoy running and do 5K 3 times a week. I am pretty slow and haven't been pushing myself very hard to get faster. My best 5k time is 34 minutes.

Come and share Smile

Beat my previous PB yesterday - 24.19.

But I think any time is a 'respectable time' - running 5k is running 5k. Plenty of people 'can't' do that at all.

On my 9th run this past Sunday, having started from rock bottom fitness, I managed just under 31 mins Smile.

Prob about 29 mins on a good day. Last time I did 5k (last week) it took 34 mins.

Thankyou Grin. If you look at local parkrun times you will see many people coming in at 40 mins plus!

Usually between 27 and 30 mins when running alone although have a PB of 25.01 on what I am sure was a short course! 34 mins is not slow at all btw!

I managed to run 5k yesterday at my fastest time of 29minutes :)

22.15. I have got faster as live got older!!

On average about 30-31mins, but did a pb of 28 mins in a 10k race last weekend. I tend to plod consistently at the same pace on my own, but in an event find it pushes me a lot more.
