I'd love to get in on this. This has been my goal for getting back into shape. I started working out again mid-April. I'd like to get under 20:00 by July 3rd's local 5k race. Had a race last weekend and came in at 21:37

Back on April 15th, in my first Tri, I dropped a 27:00 5k coming off the bike.
Two weeks later, in my 2nd race, I cut 3 minutes off of that and brought in a 24:00 time.

Tonight, in a training run, I did just under a 22:00 run.



I'm just going to continue the LSD, with a little weekly work on track sprints as well as some Sand & Hill sprints.
I think that by the end of June I can be under 20:00.

Well, I hit my goal for my target 5k race. It was insanely hot and humid but I came in at 19:52. Now I've gotta go under 19:00

Finally made it.  19:12 yesterday.  I'm officially as fast as I was when I was 14.  now if I could just get as fast as I was when I was 18...

Bump for a great thread. I set this goal early this year but let it go in favor of longer distance races instead of faster times at shorter races. I still would like to hit 20:00, but it will have to be a 2013 goal. PR is 22:59.  Need to do under 21 to take back first at small local 5k next year!

I've only done tris so far this year. I can't seem to break 20 min in a sprint, but did break 40 in an Oly. Is that worth anything here?

Just found this thread.  What a great idea.  Sub 20 has been my goal and I have hit 20:08, 20:12 and 20:14.  UGH!!!

Looks like it's either going to be a cold 5K PR or a wait til Spring thing.  Great job to all of you who pulled if off!

Thanks. It's a slow first mile that's killing me. Usually ~7 min. I've had enough time to make it up in the Oly, but not in the sprints. Didn't have a great bike in the Oly, but still beat an hour, so wasn't exactly sandbagging.

Well I am jumping in a small 5k tomorrow morning. Probably have run 150+ 5k's over the years but not raced one in at least 5 years so we shall see what happens. Undecided
