POLL: Whats your best 5k time (running)?

[Stadpad]

im in a running club in charleston and im almost in the 18's with my 5k. just gotta keep working at it. im gonna try running at a running track to get a better time, because running with traffic downtown doesnt work too well.

edit: my new time is 18:46

Damn, that's impressive, my best was ~30 minutes. That's when I ran for leisure, not for racing. I might have been about to get that down to 28 or 26 minutes. 18 is beast!

In the only 5k I ever ran that was an event, it was 19:52.

I had a friend who personally challenged me to beat 20 mins with him, so I did. It was crazy hard though.

i ran this yesterday. i know its not exactly a 5k but considering i had to wait for traffic and stuff it slowed me down a little. so im damn close the the 18's for the 5k.

5k is just a bit over 3 miles which is what marines are required to run for PFT, my fastest 3 miles is 1930 ish .. so 20 mins sounds about there.. and I think 18s is "beast" already hahaha.

 

[grambles423]

3.1miles actually.

Fastest was 26ish.

Fastest was 26ish.

yup 3.1 thanks. but then again, most units do the run after crunches and pull ups. when Im doing 20 pull ups and 100 crunches.. Im usually at a heavier weight so it slows my run time down quite a bit

Sorry, that was actually responding to the guy who posted 2.97 miles.


My problem is I'm short with a smaller stride. I'm just not a runner at all.

lol. funny it worked out, 5k is 3.10686 miles.

 

[mk6medic]

Yeah, 18 is ridiculous. 19 is ridiculous. 6 minute miles for 3 miles... you are moving.

Such impress.

That's when I ran for leisure

I hate running. Man, I wish I didn't

 

[Stadpad]

yeah i know its 3.1, i should lengthen the route just a little to get a more accurate time.

I love it, it's super relaxing for me.

I love to run when it's balls hot too, like 90-95 degrees.

I just ran this now
