POLL: Whats your best 5k time (running)?

[Desert MVIGTI]

I love it, it's super relaxing for me.

I love to run when it's balls hot too, like 90-95 degrees.

95 in Baton Rouge is like 140 everywhere else. You cray, man, cray.

I'm not in 15:00 shape right now, but I could pull off a 16:30.

Up hill or down hill?

fak that, after high school the only place I was running was the rest room. Don't get me wrong I stay active, love gym and playing sports from time to time and I specially like biking but running is something that I can't get into now.

5Ks are fun runs
I don't time them, usually pre game before them

Especially the beer and burger 5K

Had a slow run this morning

I can do it in a hair over 5min/km, after 5km I start taking it easy and just enjoy the return run.

Here's one of my better runs when I was in Vancouver in the fall. I usually average around 4:50/km.

I hated running for the longest, but two years ago I started on an indoor track and got into it really. If you hate it, AVOID treadmills; even now I love running but when I get on a treadmill I just want to get off of it before I even start. Running is all about seeing the progress, when you see how far you made it, it just helps keep you pushing to keep going.

I'm somewhere around 20-21 mins for a 5k right now. I know I could got a little faster per mile but whenever I run anywhere near 6 mins/mile my knees start acting up, I'm pretty sure it's tendinitis. It sucks but yeah.

Seriously start running every day, even if it's for 5 mins, force yourself for a few days and you'll just end up loving it, especially once you're done.

I don't know if it's tendinitis, but I notice when I pick up the pace a little bit on my usual routes, mainly street or paved path along the Mosel, my knees start acting up as well.

However, when I go on my forest paths at around the same pace nothing hurts. I came to the conclusion that it's the paved paths' fault for a lot of pain in the knees and lower back, whereas forest paths where the surface is softer and absorbs the impact of my foot on the surface ( or outdoor soccer field) makes things better.

If your knee hurts on all surfaces at the pace mentioned above then it really might be what you say.

Cheers,

Well I had tendinitis before a few years back and had to stop running and ever since then whenever I picked up my speed I noticed the same pain coming back so that's how I came to that conclusion haha. Either way a slower run is still fun, but being able to see your time improve gives you so much more motivation
