This 20-minute track workout can help you train for a 5k race. Warm up by running 800 meters (two laps), or about 4 to 5 minutes. Run three 1,000-meter sets at a rate that is 3 to 5 seconds faster
It will take more or less time depending on your aerobic and LT fitness. 6. george_i • 8 yr. ago. The fastest 5k split during a 10k race I've seen was 30s slower than personal best. Usually the range is 30-75 seconds slower than the 5k personal best. If you reach 18:45, you definitely should run
If it is an honest assessment of your current running potential than yes. In that case, it gives you a lot of room for improvement - which you probably already knew. I honestly believe that >90% of normal, healthy people can run a 20:00 5k. In other words, everyone has the ability/genetic potential to get there.
First 5k I ran was 3.5 years ago, ran about a 19:30. 2.5 years ago, I ran an 18:40. This weekend, I ran my first 5k since that race in 2012, and ran a 19:33. I will get back to that 18-minute range! (and beyond) My weekly mileage has only topped out at 20-25 miles, so I think I can get my time a lot lower.
The 20-minute 5k: A Runner's Milestone. Imagine running across a soccer field, your heart pounding, legs churning, lungs gasping for breath. You're sprinting the length of it in just over a minute. Now, repeat this 50 times without pausing. That's the equivalent of running a 5k in 20 minutes. This feat is a milestone many runners aspire to.
The 5k in 30 Minute Pace. The key to running 5k in (just) under 30 minutes is all in understanding pace. The best pace strategy for a 5k is to try and maintain a constant pace throughout your run; for a sub-30 minute 5k, this means running a constant 6.2 miles per hour (or 10 kilometers per hour).
