I am a fairly athletic guy from a power/speed background. Have never done anything more than a 10min slow jog in my life. Went out yesterday and tried a 12 minute longer run for fun. Didn't push that hard but I was pretty beat at end. Ran just over 2 miles. Any chance to do ok in a local mile or 5k race if I trained or ran at all? |

If you did actually run 2+ miles in 12 minutes off of no training, then yes you are talented. I would think sub 17min 5k would be easy to attain with enough work, but anything after that is pure speculation. Everyone responds differently to training. |

well it was like 2.02 miles or something like that. plus I am not un-fit. I play rec sports occasionally and go hiking and stuff and I sprinted a couple years ago (100m) so I know how to run with proper form etc. sub 17 would be amazing. by buddies girlfriend ran a 17:40 in a local 5k and she is a great distance runner. |
