>checked my fitness tracker
>over 60 5ks at around that time

the pace really isn't important, my dude. just enjoy yourself and let those calories get burnt up.

I'm making a crack at under 23 minutes, but I could use a bit of work

5k is unironically the best distance to run.
Prove me wrong.

It really is though
Long enough that it's decent cardio. Short enough that it's not gains killing or boring

Does 5ks a few times a week fuck up your joints or anything?

that's like a 9 minute mile, soooooo. idk why u so happy.

5k is GOAT. I ran 15k in 1h19min and I felt awful. My joints hurt and I got blisters. It was such a grind, not to mention how boring it was. 5k on the other hand is a quick run that makes you feel good.

If you want to do cardio with longer durations, go swim, bike or row. Far easier on your body.

Just don't tack on other shit like 10 mile rucks, jump squats with 80lb of gear on, or dropping to your knees without kneepads as a means of pretending to avoid getting shot.

>muh 20 mile bike trips
fuckin hell of a good time

Bike trips are fun if you can do them with friends. It's a fun way to explore the countryside too. I'd prefer a whole afternoon of mountainbiking over a 15k run desu.

I got the PT coming up in about 8 months from now bois.

How does one increase his 5k time to be able to run a 3k in 12 min?

Everything else (pull ups/push ups/sit ups and shit) is solid above the requirements. But my cardio and speed is lacking when running...

>>42229931
>1500m
>400m
>200m
>100m
>50m

all of these are good distances too

I don't like anything over 5k though because my main goals aren't endurance

>wednesday
you should be koding then

>>42230286
this works? Source?

>>42229757
good job anon
next time you will be faster

>>42229931
I agree.
It feels that I get more energy after a workout if I run an intense 5k.

When I run 10k, if feels like I'm breaking down the body and I don't feel much energy after the workout.

I really enjoy shorter more intense runs than longer slower runs overall.

>>42230286
Mine is:

Monday 14-16 200m repeats

Wednesday 8 400m repeats

friday 5k slow.
