At 54 and fairly athletic, though no long distance runner, I was pleasantly pleased to find that for my age thirty minutes put me in the 30 year old bracket for average speed. - Then you had to ruin it with this ;) Just kidding. I went from 4k to 5k in the last week. Only been running for a month. You inspired me to go out, so although not everyday I am running 6 days a week. I love watching these videos and usually watch something to inspire me just before I go out.

If you wanna see REALLY fast runners at this age group, you should come check out the Los Angeles area! I have a friend when he was 12, he ran a 16:12 5k on a really hilly course. He's 14 now and he runs sub 15s. His names Juan Ramirez!

[@HellahGood]

insane!! Id love to see him run

[@tinygorillacake]

I wish you had asked him what his training routine is each week 👍 straight fire 🔥 please do an interview with the triathlete as well. I'd like to get a sub-14 min 5k road race, crazy 😅 maybe after 5 years of training I can. I wonder how many years he had to train to get down to that. Shave off 1min per year?

[@divantewilliams3155]

esotericpig I don’t think it was 1 min per year because this was my first year running xc and I went from 20:43 in my first meet to 19:38 in my second meet. I still have a lot of work to do lol, but I think it all depends on how well your coach designs workouts.

[@YienLiu]

No hate or anything, but 5:10 as a 13 year old, an then trying to run sub 17 are wayyyyyyy too far apart. I ran 5:08 in 7th grade year (13) and my 5k time most likely would’ve been about a 18:10 on a flat course at the end of my track season (did a time trial in January of 7th grade, ran 18:51, it wasn’t a race). Going sub 17 on a flat course would need at least a 4:50 mile. I think his goals are great, but those times really aren’t that likely with the times he ran. He probably can go sub 18 but definitely not sub 17 and for freshman year he’d prob be able to run sub 17 on a flat course, and maybe sub 17 for 5k on a XC course. (Nvm, forget I said anything. I didn’t see the time he ran for that race, and how in the world is this kid able to run a 17:10 something while only being able to run a 5:10 mile)
