big break of no serious, flat 5k races. ran a 2:54 marathon, 80:04 half marathon, 37ish 10k in this time period, and ran 27:46 for 8k XC and 22:02 for 4 miles in the fall of 2012) 16:17 in February 2013 (during mileage block of 70-75 mpw from 1/1/2013 to april 2013)
The average time to run 5km is between 25-40 minutes, but there are a variety of factors that will affect this time such as gender, age, fitness, course elevation, etc. In 2005 the average finish time for completing a parkrun was 22:17 but in 2020 that time had dropped to 32:30 as more and more runners of a wider range of abilities started
1. Incorporate a single longer run each week. Building endurance can help you run faster. This will increase your aerobic capacity, giving you an extra push to run faster during a 5k. Strive for one 30 to 45 minute run each week. Make time for a run of this length in your schedule.
June 2013 in General running. Last Saturday morning I completed my first parkrun in 26.16. I was quite pleased despite aiming for a sub25 minute finish. I will be regularly completing these parkruns now, when time allows me. I just wondered what people thought was a good 5k finishing time. How hard would it be to get that time down to 20 minutes?
A couple weekends ago I finally ran my 5k race I was preparing for. My App showed 29ā54 but the race chip game in at 30ā20. I was bummed but it still shows on my app - 29ā54ā. Iām running a 1/2 marathon at the end of October - but Iām doing the Galloway method - run 2 mins walk 30 seconds.
On average, it takes about 23 minutes and 58 seconds to go from the starting line to the finish line. Many runners log a 30-minute 5K time, and they are happy with that. With walking, it typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes to complete a 5K.
