Ran my first 5K this morning

[DotKritic]

So I ran my first ever 5K this morning. It was organized by the Houston Dynamo and was called Go For Goal 5K. I ran it 29:07 so I guess I'm a 9-minute person. I treated it as a warm-up because I'm running in the ABB 5K (part of the Houston Marathon) come January.

What's your best 5K time?

Congrats on the 5k!! I'm just trying to run 2 miles in succession - it's so hard.

Grats Feels great, doesn't it??

EDIT: So far 12:40 for my mile..., it's improvement from 13 minute something. x)

Re: Ran my first 5K this morning

24 or 25 minutes I believe. Wonderful job starting to run! It's a great feeling to finish races

Congratulations!! What exactly did your "couch-to-5k" training entail?

Never ran a flat 5km road race, but before graduating I did set my highschool's Cross Country record of 17:23 on a 5k course down in Oregon. This spring, I will will also be running the 5000m (and maybe the 10000m if I lose my sanity) for my university's track team

5 is a nice number!

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC I'll be running both cross and track for the next 4-5 years!

edit: We are a part of the NCAA, so perhaps our paths may cross one day

Re: Ran my first 5K this morning

First year doing cross country. Best is ~25:00, not too good at it.

XC is a whole 'nother beast. Keep at it, that is a very respectable time

Re: Ran my first 5K this morning

Ran 24:50 when I was 10. Should be able to run sub 20 now.

Re: Ran my first 5K this morning

29 minutes

I'm terrible at running

Re: Ran my first 5K this morning

Most recent. Record is 23:56 over Golden Gate Bridge, 21:44 on a track but that's cheating.

Still, 6:06 mile is pretty good.

Re: Ran my first 5K this morning

Ps that app is called Strava if you want a Facebook for runs that logs a ton of stats. 5k = 3.1 miles.

They also have one for bicycling as well
