How many people are on lets run and how may responded to the 5km time thread. Now way is sub 16 the average
Come on slower 5km runners post you times. Not everyone want to train twice a day 100 miles a week or are lucky to have been born a fast runner.
If you only have a 10km time just divide by 2 and subtract 30 seconds
Come on get posting
Tell us yours first! :)
15:27 I am ashamed of this. In my defense though it was indoors and I ran a pretty big negative split.
15:30, I'm not so good at such long distances. I get tired.
OK, mine is actually 19:02 (female).
16:43 from High School.
I've tried for years to break it. I've gotten way faster in the longer stuff but just neve focused on anything shorter than a 10 miler.
Already on the other thread - 15.54
But I'm sure it’s over 20min now!
Unlike some coaches I know in the UK I prefer not to make up pr's eg senior coach lecturer (JC) for UK athletics 1:47 try & find this on power of 10 and you will be looking a long time - apparently nearly 10 seconds slower, another, yes its Steve at Ealing (have you finally qualified to coach or are you still coaching runners with no insurance?) - sub 2 - my ass!)
So it's a rubbish time if you are trying to coach faster runners - but I did manage to get a similar 400/800m conversion to Coe - only in very slow motion!
So if I can post this surely anonymous runners can put up their (relatively) slow times
Come on 20min+ runners show you have the bottle to post - that's much more impressive than having fast legs!
powerof10 is bad when it comes to times that are more than a few years old though - or did you not mean this?
I think 15:45 sounds like a legit mean for pr averages but not close to "what I could today" averages. Every decent runner has had a time in their lives where their focus was running for a while and could put in the miles without life getting in the way. It really doesn't take much talent to run 15:45 either. Very legit result.
That's possible I still think its pretty good if you have run 1:47
One of my mates competed against the coach in question. He was a 1:54 guy & was usually beating the '1:47' guy
The other on 1:56 another guy I used to know 2:01 pb and the same story
Anyway back to the times its very quiet here!
Is there an honour for being the slowest man on the board?
I am 19, my Prs are
400:60-61
800:2:20
1600:5:15 or 5:17 (the first one was in a 5k race, the second was in practice, I didn't actually run meets that year)
3200:11:56 two mile split in 4 mile
5k:19:27
4-mile:24:48
10k:39:22
15k:1 hour, 5 minutes
Slowness runs in my blood

What the hell are you saying?
25:38
female, former sprinter, mid-20's
20:19 xc
18:29.
But in my defense, I run 10.8, 22.4, and 49.xx
33:40
There, I did it.

One of my mates competed against the coach (see above said his pr was 1:47) in question. My friend a 1:54 guy & was usually beating the '1:47' guy
The other (coach Steve in Ealing) claimed pr 1:56 never beat my friend pr 2:01
In summary 2 well know coaches - 2 lying b@stards - clear enough for you?
Now, what's your 5km time?
Are you looking for overall average or just males? There's another thread for the female average.
Female, 38, doing races less than a year (yes, I feel the need to explain the slowness): 23:24.
18:24 in 1982 and...as long as i keep posting here i promise to try to become faster, so help me...
Still, coach, we go and duke it out, i'll give you a minute easy...no hard feelings...
Female master, ran 19:20 a few years ago.
I used to aim to break 20:00. Now I can't take a sub-24:00 for granted. But I still enjoy it.
