Was wondering about timing for others to swim this distance -- I swim around 5K per day, probably 5 or so days per week on average -- approx. time is around 1 hr 30 mins or 1 hr 45 mins, nonstop swimming. Note that I've just gotten back into swimming this summer after a break of 2 yrs or so, but when younger I swam daily during summers.
Late 30s male in pretty decent shape, 6' + and a little over 200 lbs.
I'm 45 (male and a teacher and ex footballer), and my training time (I go 7 days a week- I have never raced), is 28mins 47 secs. I am now thinking of aiming for the 25 min line for the 5Km. I have lost weight (4 st over the last year) but I have caught the fitness bug and I am keen to push myself to see how much improvement I can make- within reason. Is there anyone out their like me - please share your your experiences.
I'm not sure what the average time is but I'm currently running a 5k in 23:20. From what I've seen if you want to be competitive you'd need to bring in a time closer to 19-20 min.
about 10-15 minutes
around 30 minutes
24 minutes
Their average speed is the same, 5km/hour. Velocity takes both speed and direction into account. Hence Mia's average velocity was 5km/hour North, and Luisa's was 5km/hour South. Assuming they were in the same general region on Earth, this means their average velocities wee in opposite directions, but equal in magnitude.
Average speed=distance/time=7.5 km/1.5hr=5km/hr
Your average speed is 5km per hour.
Sub 20 for a Man and sub 25mins for a girl is a good time.
According to Google @ http://www.google.com/search?q=5km+to+miles 5km is equal to 3.10685596 miles.
5km is about 3 miles.
5km = 5000m = 500 000cm, so 1cm goes into 5km 500 000 times
You have to average at least 9.32 miles per hour over the distance of the race to achieve a 20-minute time.
At an average of 10 km per hour.
around 30mn is really good but I started around 45mn.
25 square kms
600km is 120 times greater than 5km.
