Hey Guys i'm a slim build and i can just do 2 kilometers run non-stop before puffing out, am I terribly unfit and should I improve on that?
Asking because I've taken up Mua-thai training and am wondering if I should improve my endurance.
Should you improve? i guess that depends what your goals are anon. If youve just taken up a martial art, then yes, your cardio is a very important factor. That will continuously improve the more you do it.

I just wanna know the standards on /fit/ first post btw and wanna see if people laugh at me or not i guess it's a more interesting way of knowing if i need to or not

Standards are dependant on what specific training youre doing. I am very healthy, can deadlift 455, squat 405, but i cant run 2 miles in under 18 minutes because i hardly ever run.
I dont know if there is some general benchmark of health, but as of now, i am focused on getting stronger, and getting aesthetic, not to sprint or run

You should be able to run 5K without tiring out if you want to be somewhat fit.
Hell, I'd even argue that a fit person should be able to run a half marathon.

Ok i'll aim for 5 km without giving in to the pain lol

I would say that a man should be able to run 5km at a decent pace. 10km jogging. These distances are not too much work. You still lift as your main workout and have a 5km run every now and then for fun.
Be the best you can. If you can only run 2km right now, then just push yourself and in a month you can jog 5km.
