That's fat frick speed. A fast speed for that would be around the 17-18 min mark.


13-15 is elite and 17-18 would be an average high school runner

If you run the first mile in about 5 minutes then you only need to run 12 minute miles for the rest.

I started running regularly about 6 months ago. I've found that half of it is just mentally convincing yourself that you are not about to die and just keep moving.

All I'm saying is if the OP has never run in his life, he is going to have a tough time running a sub-30 min. 5K in the middle of summer right off the couch. Physically, he can probably do it. Mentally, he probably won't be able to push through it.



I'm assuming he'll be running with his GF that will pace him around that 30 min mark. He'll be fine mentally running with a pace partner that he's trying to impress.

Ideally I want to break 29, which is what I told her I usually run. She ran it in 31 a year ago and has improved since, so I'm expecting 30 from her.

Well, that's true. Unless she's short.

I’ll do a lot of stuff for sex. But RUN is not one of them.

Ran is a bit strong. I believe that’s more of a yogging pace.

You need to stretch non-stop for the next 4 days

Your lungs might make it, and you might tough through it for sex, but if those calves cramp up it’s game over homie

Which is why I said 17-18 min. would be fast, i.e. just shy of the 6 min. mile mark.

Fake that you castrated yourself. You wouldn’t really have to act differently.

I would hardly consider 6 min. miles for a short distance to be elite. A regular/average runner would be able to achieve this quite easily.

20-21-minute 5k is very fast and respectable for non-elites. Even a 23 minute 5-k is respectable for normal runners


I agree, however a 29 min. 5k is slow. You can power walk a 9 min. mile pace
