Notice, he didn't say that he's never run a race, but never run at all. If you've never run 3 miles in one stretch before, he's not going to do it in 29 minutes. Not sure where this race is, but if its around here, in So. La, with the temps right now, he's in trouble.

5K are often run for charities.

I know nothing about races. I'm just glad I didn't say anything outrageous like 24 minutes.

I plan on checking out the route at some point this week. Looks to be entirely flat.

Exactly. This is for a charity that is very close to her heart.

any young male that just isn't a complete slob should be able to run a 30 min 5k

my 65 year old mom ran a 5k in like 35 minutes

If she runs it in 31 shes probably wide enough to draft off of. Tail her the first 2 miles then burn it down for the remainder of the race.

Yes, your bench press is a direct indication of how well you run.

If you actually run, you’ll be too sore to have sex that night. Sprained ankle, as mentioned earlier, is your only course of action.

We're talking about a 5k with a moderately in shape young adult male...not a half-marathon.

You won't be sore if you take Friday off. Get the runkeeper app and go running this afternoon. Screen shot your results, post tonight, and we OT fitness experts can advise you on your next course of action.
