What’s your 5k time?

[Frangoz]

I am aiming to do below 30mins but it’s hard

22:30, but I’m mid 30s. Aiming to get back below 20 which is where I was at my peak. It is definitely hard!

Currently not running much. It was 28 min at parkrun last week. Fastest is 22 minutes about 18 months ago. I’m 47.

3-5 working days 😅

I came here to say this.

Oh wow! Good for you all. I just started running, not even thinking about the low 20s. Even if I did 29:59 I’d be delighted haha

Fastest 28 mins 32. Only time I've got under 30 mins as I was on holiday somewhere very flat!

Just to balance these super impressive below 30 minute times I usually do it in about 34 minutes. I’m not looking to get faster really though. I’m just happy to be able to do a 5k, having only taken up running/regular exercise in my 30s.

37 minutes but I'm 50-something and not built for speed.

I never got below 40 minutes, but I thought that was good going at 59. Unfortunately arthritis has got the better of me so I ride a bike instead these days.

26/27 mins I'm 36 years old. Been running now for about 7 years. Could probably do better but like to not feel like I'm going to die when running.

I’m 48, my fastest time is 31 minutes but it’s usually 34. Would also love to do a sub 30!

I started at about 45 or 50mins….not sure I’d manage that now tbh.

At my apex it was about 27mins
But I worked hard to get sub 30 as the park run course was pretty hilly.

anything sub 30 is pretty decent if you are non competitive and running for general health.

once just once! i did a 25min Something run on a completely flat course and was totally jazzed.

19.19 in my 20's, 21.37 (and getting slower) now in my 40's. Wish I had appreciated my 19.19 at the time!

About 35 mins

I’m on week 8 of couch to 5k and I covered 5k in 34 mins for my last run.

32

I'm much slower than everyone else on this thread! But I tend to run off road and in the hills. That's my excuse, anyway.

20 mins when I was younger, but now after just starting to run after some pretty hard-core surgery, about 38 😅😅 it's just good to get out there and use my body properly again tbh, and the fitness quickly comes back, I mean it goes quickly too but 🤷‍♀️

40 plus minutes. But I only run once a week.

Just under 23.

I'm 43 and not particularly quick by nature. 23 means really pushing and feeling like I might vomit. 26 is far more comfortable.

26.11. I am 43 and have lost four and a half stone in the last two years. Only started running a year ago. Aiming for sub 2 hour half in October 😬😬and sub 1 hour 30 at Hyrox Frankfurt in December.

5 minutes by car.

Back when I actually ran/jogged, I'd do 5k in around 30 mins. I'd be a lot slower now though!

I wish I could run 5k and I am in awe of those who can.

Sub 30 is a big moment for sure! No reason why you can't get there if you keep at it.

After 4 years of running I’m still chase a sub 30 5km. 31.36 fastest time but usually about 34/36.
