Answer 1

around 25 is average/ok

for varsity pretty much anything under 20 min

it just depends if you've done track before, and how athletic you are. but running is a sport where you can become so much better if you just put in the work. and you should push yourself to see how amazing you can do!

Answer 2

If your lean and not in shape I'd say 25-30 Min., if your really serious and want to be one of the best 19-21 Min.  Push yourself, just don't do it 2 days in a row.  If your tall, you can have a big advantage with your stride length.  Good Luck

Answer 3

ok. do ur best and see ur time.

and dont walk. walking makes u relax even if ur really out of breath do a slow jog as slow as walking but DONT walk.!!!!!!   i was in cross country and gonna be so just try ur hardest.

Answer 4

for people who haven't ran it before should go for about 23-25 min. for the 5k. but if you have ran it before then go for about 20 min or under.

Answer 5

I'd say about 19 or 20 mins. And accually you SHOULD push yourself.
