If you aren't already running then 10 minutes is a good start. Pretty quickly, a week or so, you should be under 8 minutes if in reasonably good health. It's more of adjusting to the breathing. The first half mile will be the challenge for a beginner.

My wife broke under 6 minutes in the first mile of a 5k. I used to be able to barely break 8 minutes

Time to start running again I guess

I am 45 and just ran a mile last week at 8:40. I felt like I was running like the wind , my 5k pace is a little under 10 or right at it, depending the wind.

Really would like to get to a 27 minute 5, and a 10 under 1 hour and I will be happy.

My mile 18 months ago was a little over 12
