Factors such as age, sex, and fitness level can influence your 5K time. Many runners complete a 5K in ** to ** minutes, and many runners are satisfied with their time if it’s around this benchmark
30 to 40 mins
a good 5k time for beginners will vary widely based on experience, age, and overall health. As a good rule of thumb, though, a sub-30 minute 5k for a complete beginner or older runner is probably good, while a sub-** minute 5k is decent for someone who is younger and is more active and/or has run at some point in their life.

Although looking at the previous years’ results can be helpful, you may want to look at age-graded results to allow you to compare your race times to other runners as well as to the standard for your age and gender.
This will allow you to have a more realistic understanding of how you compare to others in a similar station in life. Runner’s World
has an age-graded calculator that you can use to compare your finishing time to others.
Who Uses a Pace Calculator?
Pace calculators are useful for both new runners and expert runners.
Whether you’re running your first race, trying to PR, or going on a **** run, knowing your pace can help you train and run better.

What’s my main reason for using a Pace Calculator?
Determine how fast your pace should be if you have a certain finish time for a desired distance or race. For example, find out what pace you need to keep to run a 28-minute 5K or a sub-2:00 half marathon.
What pace do you need to beat to do a 5k in less than 30 mins?
Less than 6 mins / km
What pace do you need to beat to do a 5k in less than 25 mins?
Less than 5 mins/km
