What's Your time in the 5k and your age?

Question

I just ran a race yesterday in 17:45 and I'm 15. Just wondering what other people my age get

Answer 1

I'm 15 male and I'm the seventh fastest on my team which would put me last in Varsity. My last 5k was in 18:50 but it was like 90 degrees out with lots of turns. More currently we did mile repeats with 1 minute rest and I was at 16:55 when I finished which would put me around 17:20 for a 5k. I'm hoping to get low 16s to high 15s by november.

Answer 2

You're good, keep training consistantly and you could maybe be in the 15s by your senior year(which will get you lots of scholarships, which will make things a lot easier for you).

I had almost your potential(I guess I still have it, but time was wasted)...when I was 15 if I'd ran cross country that year my PR would probably have been 18something. I'm 18 now and shins splints and c**p have slowed me down the last 2 years....but this summer I got in about 55 miles a week and I'm ready to run 17s now. I'm HOPING after indoor track and my last season of outdoor track I can get in the 4:30s in the mile.

Answer 3

I had my first XC 5k ever yesterday and I ran it in 26:26.

(I'm a 14 year old girl by the way)

:)

Answer 4

Alright first let set the record straight a cross country race is a 5k, which is 3.10685 miles. a girls cross country race is a 4k which is 2.48548 miles, so if you have run a xc race that is a 5k.

now was your 17.45 on a track or in a xc race?

my time is 21.53 in a xc race

Answer 5

30:40 for my first xc meet ever. I am a girl, 16.  

Answer 6

i am 14 and i got 17:43, i have no idea if that's a good time

Answer 7

i havnt ran a actual 5k in a long time but last year i ran the 3 mile race in xc in 17:02 but thats with hills,  on flat i probably could get a 16:30.  

Answer 8

I am 15 and I am a girl and I also had a race yesterday...my time was 20:18

Answer 9

I depends on whether it was a road race or cross country.

When I was 15 I ran 15.00min for 4km XC which equates to 18.45, and around 13min. for 4km on the road which equates to 16.15.

I ran 33.01 10km road when I was 18, 14.42 - 5km when 30 and 2.22 marathon @ 30.

Keep working at it and see how good you can be.

Answer 10

Wow that is really good, I am 15 but a girl and I get 30 min haha

Answer 11

I don't have a 5K time, but I know that yours is even better than my 2 mile time. (24:52.) I'm a girl, and 13.

Answer 12

Answer 13

that's awesome! I ran mine in 32:42 haha but early that week I did get hurt during cheerleading practice so I had to be careful but even if I did try harder I couldn't of made it in that time. I'm 15 too & I'm a girl.

Answer 14
