5K...How fast....?

Just wondering how fast you can do the 5k?

It took me 40 minutes to walk it! And then I almost died! So my goal is to shorten this time each time.

Heh. I can do a 5K in about 35 or 36 minutes.

So you're doing fine! :)

I am the same as HK.  My best time was 35 minutes.  Last weekend it was 37 minutes.  So hitting around 40 minutes is great!  Keep it up and those minutes will come off :).

I did my 1st one in 31:58. My goal was sub 35:00 so I was pretty happy with the results...until I saw all the results posted online and realized I got beat by a 7 year old girl who ran the 5k in 26:00! My goal next time is sub 30:00. Maybe one day I will beat that 7 year old. :)

That's good to know! Thanks so much!

My bf just ran one called the "Race to Wrigley" around Wrigleyfield neighborhood in 26 minutes. We are doing one on April 28th for Brain Cancer. My goal is 32:00 minutes (I'm running). Then we are doing another on Mother's Day for the Y-ME Breast Cancer walk/run. Again, I am running. I'm not quite sure what my goal is for that one yet.

My last 5K time was 21:43.

I'm on the learning to run program and in week 1 I averaged around 35 to 36 minutes for 2.68 miles.   At the full 3.2 I was  hitting the 40 minute mark.

So keep going.   I'm starting week 2 now and it looks like I'm around 36 minutes for the full 3.2miles(5K)... so over the weeks I'll see how this progresses.   I think my overall goal isn't a 5K but a full on marathon.

Why aim to something I know I could complete right now when I could aim for a really lofty goal that I wouldn't feel bad where i finished... I would be thrilled just to have said i did it!

My most recent 5K (this past Saturday) time was 25:10

Mine was 25:10 too!

My fastest time so far is 21:46. I've been training a lot recently, so maybe I'm faster now. Congratz on the hard work so far!
