Question

I made a bet with a friend. He's 80kg 5'9 feet. Is it possible for him to run 5km in 20 mins?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible.  He would have to run 1km in 4 minutes.  For those in the US, that is approximately 1 mile in 6:30 minutes.  That is very possible.  Also depends on how much he trains.  I recently ran a 5k in 30 minutes at 220 lbs, 100Kg and at a very slow pace because one of my friends was cramping during the run.

Answer 2

He could easily run 5K in 20 minutes, if he was in good condition.

Answer 3

ya i think so.. i kno a girl thats 15 and runs a 3 km in just over 10 so itll depend how fit he is but it definitely can be done
