If you want to run a sub 40 Min 5k you will need to average a pace of 12:52 per mile or 08:00 per kilometer to run your target time. It’s also good to have a few seconds buffer on each split to account for some slight extra distance if you are not running the racing line. The 5k is a great distance for runners of all ages and experience levels. Tempo 60/60. After a 10-min warm-up, run 15 mins at tempo pace, then 15 mins alternating 60 secs hard and 60 secs at tempo pace. By the last one-min effort you should be aiming to get near your This largely depends on the distance. On a 500m workout, 02:00/500m is good to aim for. For longer distances (1k, 2k, or 5k meters), you might be a bit slower and for shorter ones (50, 100, or 200 meters) a bit faster. With an increasing distance, your 500m-split will likely decrease. The short answer is that a sub 20 minute 5k row is good, but it really depends on your goals and what level of athlete you are. If you’re a beginner, then a sub 20 minute 5k row is definitely good. If you’re an experienced athlete, then a sub 20 minute 5k row may not be as impressive, but it’s still a good time. Something I like for 10k workouts are something like 8X1k at (current)10k pace with 2min jog rest, or 5-6X 1mile with 3mins jog rest. Also tempo runs (15k-1/2 marathon pace) of 20-40mins will help you a lot. A sub 40 10k will be easier than the sub 3 marathon FYI. A sub 3 marathon equates to about a 39min 10k. Reply. A 20 minute 5K or 1200 seconds. 20 minute 5K is 55.6420233% slower than 5K road WR. World record 400m, 43.03. Multiply 43.03 x 1.556420233 = 66.97276265. so I think sub-20 is a good goal, but My first marathon, which overall felt pretty easy, was 3:36 GPS time, 3:38 official. This took about 1.5 years total to go from not running to running a 5K in 27:30 to running a 5K in 20 minutes. I had probably about 4 months of breaks due to injury or lack of motivation. On the roads I'm a 3:30 marathon runner and an 8:30 easy-pace runner. I have a good friend that often dips under 3 hours for the marathon and his easy pace is 7:30's. I'd say build miles to 40 miles/ week before adding much speed. Then, start with 1 minute intervals to develop neuromuscular recruitment. ojsJqc.

is a 20 minute 5k good
