5k : 32.35min. I was able to shave 1min off my last run by sprinting for 10 seconds after walking. I’m still not able to run the entire 5k, but I’ve vastly improved since the Navy Seals Fitness Challenge where it took me almost 20min to cover 1.5 miles. I’m also trying to change my running style to become a fore-foot striker and incorporate Pose running techniques. So I’m running about a mile on my forefoot and the rest of the time mid-foot staying conscious of where my feet land (so that I don’t over-stride) and listening to the sound of my feet as they hit the ground so that my feet are light and I’m not creating unnecessary friction between me and the ground.

From Yahoo Answers:
It depends on your sex
High School Boys: 15’s are excellent
16s are great(STATE qualifying)
17s are good
18s are average
19s are not good
20s are “Do you even try or Are you injured?”
15min??? That’s a 5min/mile pace! Right now that seems impossible to achieve since I can’t even complete a 5k without walking some of the distance. My goal is sub-20min. Then I’ll enter my first 5k competition.
