what's considered an average 5 k time?
anyone know?
Re: what's considered an average 5 k time?
Kelly Monaghan's 5K - 5/15/11 - 3rd Place in AG
Walk the Talk 5K - 5/18/11 - 31:12 PR
Ridley Run 3.1 - 4/14/12 - 1st race of the year, 32:45
Age? Sex? Condition? I don't think there is an "average." Are you trying to compare your time?
I can run a comfortable 5k in roughly 25 min, 28yo female, if that counts, ha.
Recent Races:
Chicago Half Marathon 9/11/11: 1:58:11 (PR)
Race for the Cure 10k, Chicago 9/24/11: 51:52 (PR)
ING New York City Marathon 11/6/11: 4:13:16 (PR)
Yeah, it'll vary a lot, with the factors people listed above and also with the race, and what kind of participants it draws.
My best is a 26:25. My first one was 32:something.
You can use this tool to calculate what average is for your gender/age: http://www.heartbreakhill.org/age_graded.htm
For me, a 30yo female, average (50th percentile) would be 28:47.
ETA: I'm pretty sure this is overall for 5Ks, not just for that 5K. Either way, it should be in the same ballpark.Duke's House: Eating and Running with the Big Dog in Chennai: eatrunbrit.com
2010 Race PRs:
5K - 24:57 10M - 1:28:20 13.1M - 1:57:29 26.2M - 4:28:29
I bet "average" in the sense of 1/2 below 1/2 above would be 30 minutes, but there are so many factors in play
