>/cardio/ bros, what's a good time for a 5k?
Sub 20

Be slow forever nigger

>Shoot for 22 with occasional but high effort cardio training. Push yourself on 4 mile runs twice weekly until you can get there. Under 20 minutes is gonna be very hard for someone who doesn't prioritize running.
No, its not hard, and your advice is moronic
Anyone that runs EASY miles every day with occasional sessions (lets say 3 times a week) at 3:59 pace will get there. 40 miles a week should be plenty (mind you, at a conversational pace, its supposed to be easy)

14 minutes is a pretty good time

>20+: not worth talking about. old people, fat people, woman, pre-pubescent children etc
>19-20: mediocre high schoolers
>18-19: average high schoolers
>17-18: above average high schoolers
>16-17: elite high schoolers
>15-16: win state or just about any road 5k
>14-15: the most elite college runners, professionals
>13-14: national record holders, professionals
>sub 13: probably 20 people ever

20 min is slower than most high school runners.

This.

Aim for 12 mins

>finally able to get 5K time down to 24:30-25 mins after lifetime of no sports, just vidya, eating like shit
>acceptable time is 2 years of work for sub-mediocre results

So keep going if that's what you care about.

that's a pretty cringe reaction bro, ngl

That's decent user, can't expect two years to undo 20+ years of sedentary lifestyle

Asthmafag here, will running fix my godawful lung capacity? I'm in a permanent state of out of breath and it affects everything I do, but I feel so slow and awkward when I try running I've never gotten into it

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, 20mins is a pretty decent time, the average time for males is around 30mins.
>40+ : unfit, obese, old or children
>30: average
>20: fit and healthy
>15: super fit and should train for competitions
>sub 13: only 7 recorded people in the world, 5 for track and 2 for road running with the wr being 12:37 for track and 12:51 for road

i did a 12min 3k is that good

Running fucking sucks. I hate running. I'd rather crawl a 5k than run one. Joggers are tryhard faggots with fucked up backs and knees. What are you running from you fucking preys? Running is the lowest form of exercise. Biking and swimming are a billion times superior. Fuck running.

Depends...
30 minutes... congratulations, youre an overweight faggot whose smoking
25 minutes is pretty average for a healthy person.
20 minutes for a relatively fit person... at this point people will start telling you wow you are fast
17:30 ... People on the streets will start talking to you and telling you wow youre fast ... even if youre on an easy run ( which would be a 23 minute 5k at this point)
16 minutes ... great time
15 minutes... D1 Scholarship .. great time for someone who actually trains consistently for a few years
14 minutes ... national/ champion
13 minutes... olympian
12:37... You can speak Kenyan and youre the world record holder for track 5ks

>/cardio/ bros, what's a good time for a 5k?

after corona vaccine? stay the fuck inside

Try rowing or a wattbike

How does track time compare to road/trail running?
Asking because I was only able to get sub 23 last year running through parks with running hard 5 days a week

how is the hs 5k record mid 13s if 14-15 is elite level

about 30 second difference for the 13-16 minute range. For you it will be probably more like 50. But even that requires an adaptation period, going into curves every 200m is pretty painful and exhausting if yoyre not used to it, so if youd want to have faster tines youd actually have to invest into track sessions.
Also if youre serious about running look up Jack Daniels he has good beginner workouts.

those 13 minute HS runners are exceptions and are vary rare, not sure if there is any HS runner caable of running sub 14 right now.

If I did cardio while the gyms are closed and I kept up a high protein intake would I retain some muscle mass?

I'm dedicating myself to running 3 days a week (working up to 10km) and just incline walking fasted for the other 4 days

Stop eating vegetables and grains
Sunbath more

Enjoy weak bones and hunched back nigger

just a flu fear mongerer, the hospitals are more empty that your sexual life, its all a hoax

I'm not a good runner, didn't train for it and have tiny legs, my starting point was 19:48
So I guess people with normal sized legs shoul be able to do 18:00 with a little training.
(my legs are actualy so short that I'm buying jeans from the boys section)

Being short is actually better for running because what matters most is your cadence you coping retard

In the army I did 3k in 10 min flat, I've never trained for running specifically, also 5'8" manlet.
Extrapolate your answer from that.

Really depends on the type of biking, biking can be a very high impact sport.

>biking can be a very high impact sport.
Not on your legs dumbass, as they aren't hitting anything
The impact will just be on your hips and back

user, my legs are fucking tiny.
For every step my friends make, I make about two.

Not him, but did you ever ride a hardtail through a rock-garden or a trail with many roots?

Ever try riding downhill and big jumps?

I’m currently terrible at cardio (27 min for a 5k) but I am going to continue to improve. Thats all I care about

7 years of smoking weed almost daily, at 32 minutes right now... it's going to be a long road back. at least i ditched the drug.

Mediocre high schoolers have probably been running for 5 years

Based, load up on ez miles and run hard every now and then and you’ll see results sooner than you think

Guys when I run I have palpitations, like every step I do I'll feel my heart thump in my chest, will it go away the more I run? Have any of you been the same and are still alive now?

The bicycle is still absorbing the impact you smoothbrain niggers

Be dyel forever nigger

Try doing some sprints and see how it goes

Shut the fuck up nigger a lean body with a calisthenics amount of muscle is the ideal for women AND performance in daily life

me too bro, me too.

Are you fucking retarded?
That's like saying your shoes absorb your deadlifts.
Just fucking kill yourself you retarded nigger.

Replying to this fucking retard

I want to run but I fear the corona boy.

You live in a city?

>That's like saying your shoes absorb your deadlifts.
You are not moving your feet of the ground while you deadlift you mouth breather, while cycling youre not riding a perfectly smooth surface with no friction

Are you fat? Do you have aids? DO you have one less organ? Are you a cancer patient?

You'll make it

for me it was a really big difference, i always ran on road and when i ran on track for the first time i had 20% better times
but i am only a casual runner, my best 5k is 23min or so

20 minutes is not “pretty fast.” 20 minutes is the running equivalent of a one plate squat.

Looking it up and talking to runners irl:
30+: On death's door, fix your shit immediately
25-29: Beginner
20-24: Mediocre according to e-statters and seasoned runners. You are now on the level of a casual jogger.
17-19: Decent. Many people never make it here.
15-16: According to e-statters and seasoned runners, this is the bare minimum. In real life this is actually a very good time for someone who isn't a competing athlete.

>20 minutes is the running equivalent of a one plate squat.
Is that good? I dont lift weights

Salazar never cheated. Change my mind.

The best HS runners ever were nearly world class by the time they hit college.
