What is a good time for a beginner 5km?

Answer 1

I am in high school and i was number 15 on the team when i ran a 23:33 in a 5k race. A good time to run it for a physical fit person would probablly be around there but if you arent in shape or are hurt, then a 25 or 26 minute 5k would be acceptable as well

Answer 2

If you're a female, an outstanding time is around 16 minutes which could qualify you for Olympic trials. Between 17 and 18 minutes is top college times and possibly elite high school. 20-22 is above average and 23-25 is average for someone who trains 3 times a week.

Answer 3

It really depends on several factors. For example: age, rigor of training, difficulty of course, and what you would define as "good."

If you are a teenager and have just started running a month ago, I would say anything below 22 minutes is significant. If you are in your twenties and have the same amount of training, I would say anything under 20 minutes is good.

If you are a bit older, it may vary depending on your level of health.
