Title: 22:25 sec - 5k - What do fellow getbiggers run?
Post by: Awesomo on May 02, 2009, 08:14:06 AM
I'm starting to get there. I want to get into the 20's this summer. I think now training with tabata 2x a week it will really help me make gains plus dropping another 15-20 pounds i'll be a jacked running machine in no time  ;D What are others 5k times?

Any part time runners on here? Or is everybody's quads too big to run without creating fire from the friction  ;)

the world record is about 12 minutes and 37 seconds, so the Getbig average should be somewhere around 10.5

I was at just that around 22 min.

20 min would be great.  But
Ive had too many surgeries to attempt it.

Yeah i've gotten down to just over 19 in highschool, but i know that shit will never happen again. I'm shooting for in the 20's. The best motivator is the fact that getting better makes the hell of running end sooner. I've already knocked off 2 minutes of running this season.

What exactly does 5k come to in miles? I know I am running 3 miles in 19-21 minutes depending on how I feel that day.

When I was young I could string a long a couple of 5:30 miles.  I wasn't even a distance runner but a sprinter.  Now since I drink a ton of beer on weekends and I'm 50 I wonder what I could run a 5K.  I normally run 2 or three miles twice a week or so in addition to my lifting.  Last week I started running 5 slow miles a day.  Running at 190lbs isn't the same as running at 155 to 165lbs.  I'm looking forward to what I could do now.  My goal is to break 21 minutes but in most 5K's I would be looking at the back of a lot of real runners leaving me in the dust.

Getbiggers are more likely to weigh 5k or earn 5k/yr than run a 5k.  ;D

j.peg properties lists him as Willie Gault. So, I'll guess Willie Gault.

About 8 or 9 minutes, but I usually don't try very hard.

22:18 the other day though I probably could have stepped it out a bit the last km

indoor tracks are boring as fuck - the best motivation to run faster was that it would be over sooner

Willie Gault of the 85 bears, the man to be credited for making Payton look good.  Also a Chicago pussy slaying machine.
