Forums >Racing>Realistic 5k time
So this past Sunday, I ran my 2nd half marathon in 1:28:55 off of 30-36 mpw (not including my taper). Had my legs not hurt so much during the race, I could have finished earlier; however, based off of my time as it stands, how fast do you think I can finish a 5K? My PR from November 2012 (which also happened to be my last 5K race) was 19:49, but I'm pretty sure I'm a lot fitter than I used to be.
Just a dude.
http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/ Says you can run 19:12 or so...
I'd expect that running roughly 35 mpw, you might be slightly better at shorter distances...
Run a 5k and find out...

Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...
Thanks for your response!
For some weird reason, I find that I'm a lot better at longer distances. Better just run a race and find out for myself!
