Just ran my first 5k after some knee issues that have kept me from running for 15 months. Non competitive, just round a 5k route I planned out. Did it in 25 mins, 12secs. I am 41, and consider this a pretty good time considering how long it's been and how out of condition I am...but here's the kicker...
...my 8 year old boy was running with me.
Forget my time, for his age group that has to be a good effort surely?

Re: running 5k
17 mins is a fantastic effort.
I broke 20 mins for the 5k a couple of weeks ago, want to get my 10k time down from 42 mins to below 40 as well which is the next target.
I don't ever really run as short as 5k but figured I need to be doing sub 20 easily before I think about a sub 40 10k

Re: running 5k
You should sign up for the park run nearest to you and you get a timed 5k for nowt. Good fun I volunteer at Roding Valley

Re: running 5k
Nowhere near sub 20, although I think I could do it if I could find the time to practice/work towards it. Best time is 21.35 I think which I did in December last year. Not bad for nearly 40 though
