Can you make decent money running 14 minute flat 5ks?

Are you female or a Brazier type runner?

its 15 45 now

I'm at 15:22 5k now on the road to break 15 very soon. Everyone on this thread thought that I was talking out of my ass. I'm proving all of you wrong. I'm still 19 and there's more to come.

But 15.22 and 14.00 are very far apart still

So an extra 3-5 day's work in the office from running 10 hours a week for years on end.

try again. My kid makes more mowing the neighbor's lawn.

Still far but give it 7 years, it'll happen. Believe me.

DELUSION IS THE WAY, SUB 1:10 HALF ACCOMPLISHED, 1:09:56 and soon that'll be improved upon!! This goes to show not to let others put you down online. SUB 15 NEXT! THEN 14 FLAT!

Are they putting you down or are they just saying that a 1.09.56 isn't even equivalent to a 15.00 5k and is definitely not close to a 14.00 5k? I hope you do it but 14.00 is a very long way off yet.

Then let him mow lawns. What's your issue here. I answered the guy's question with facts.

You have a problem with that?

Not in the UK. That's a hobbyjogging time.

No they never said they were similar level times, I posted in this sub at 16 43 asking about potential for money making at 14 flat. They put me down and said id never run that. They said i might get sub 16 but anything else is highly delusional. I've worked my 5k down to 15 22 and I'm 19 and I fully believe it's possible to reach that time understanding the years of training ahead i need to get there. These keyboard warriors probably haven't left the door for a run in years and were clearly putting me down, this sub is great motivation and I come back to it all the time. It might take 10 or even 15 years but you bet I'll be spamming this thread saying to all of them I told you so.

How is he doing???

Well so far they are right, you have got sub 16. Come back when you get under 14.30 and we'll start to hold our breath. Also no subs here, wrong website.

If he could invent a time machine... and go back to the '80s and '90s... He could make a decent living running 14 minute 5Ks

If he identified as female he'd get lapped by Chebet.

15:20 in 90 percent humidity and force 6 wind with good conditions I can break 15 right now. When I manage that I expect is these Let's Run keyboard warriors to reveal their pbs and I'll personally fly them all out to Europe to race me with the money I make from running the sub 15 5ks!

If they lose they double it and give it back to me.

I'm always surprised by the lack of effort in the NYC area to win prize money. You can't make a living, but you could certainly make enough to pay for your shoes. Which, these days, is something.

Many NYRR road races have prize money but no fast people try to get it.

Please list a race price and winning time. Betting that after entry fee and transportation, it is essentially a break even deal.
