A 22-minute 5k equals a 7:25-minute pace, which necessitates faster than average speed. The typical speed for a local runner is around 8:00–9:00 minutes per mile, and most 6 and 7 minute milers perform their easy runs at that pace. You'd undoubtedly tire quickly attempting a 27-minute 5k, which would need you to run at a 9-minute pace.
The short answer is that a sub 20 minute 5k row is good, but it really depends on your goals and what level of athlete you are. If you’re a beginner, then a sub 20 minute 5k row is definitely good. If you’re an experienced athlete, then a sub 20 minute 5k row may not be as impressive, but it’s still a good time. Achieving a sub 20 5k. Carps86 . August 2019 in General running. Hi all. My biggest aim is to get under 20 mins over 5k, my PB at parkrun is 21.12 which was 4 years ago. My PB for this year is 22.08. As I think someone else has said, I’d focus more on long runs, you don’t need to be running at anywhere near 20-minute 5k pace during the marathon. What I did is get super comfortable at 8 minute miles, so that come race day I only had to up it a little bit to hit the time. Obviously some speed work is required though. I’m only about 5”5 and increased my mileage up to about 25 a week, after a couple of weeks at that I ran a 5k in 20:08. I’m sure if I kept the mileage up for longer I’d have been able to break 20 mins, but an injury and life got in the way so I’m trying to get back into a routine again. Good luck, and well done on the 21 minute 5k!

The 20-minute 5k: A Runner's Milestone. Imagine running across a soccer field, your heart pounding, legs churning, lungs gasping for breath. You're sprinting the length of it in just over a minute. Now, repeat this 50 times without pausing. That's the equivalent of running a 5k in 20 minutes. This feat is a milestone many runners aspire to. JegzS1.
