Outside of work, Jon Komar, MD is an avid runner.
5K’s are one of the most popular running races, with millions of people participating at least once each year. If you’re thinking of running in a 5K event, you might be asking yourself what would be a good time to complete the race. According to running coaches, several factors, including your gender, age, how often you run, and weight, will determine the time you complete a 5K. Men are usually faster than women, and the older you’re, the more time you’re likely to take to complete a 5K race. To give you an example, a 40 to 44-year-old man, on average, completes a 5K in 32:26 minutes, while a woman in the same age bracket will run 38:26 minutes. The same 40 to 44-year-old man or woman will be several minutes slower than a 20 to 24-year-old man or woman who takes on average 29:27 and 36:22 minutes respectively to finish a 5K. If you have never run before and are moving from couch to 5K, you should aim to finish the race in 45-60 minutes. If you’re an everyday runner, the average time you should take running a 5K is 28 to 37 minutes.
