5km in 30.06 minutes, is this an ok time?

Question

I've been running for about 4 months, I never ran before that.

Answer 1

For a first timer this time is pretty good. Keep working at it and dont give up. Get your self out on a few 10-15 mile runs to build your stamina and you will notice your time decreasing.

Answer 2

Agreed, I haven't ran 5k...but I ran 3.4k for school in 15 minutes, so I would say that you had a fairly decent time for that distance. Keep it up!
