Most people can walk between 4 and 5 miles in an hour......i ran 6.5 miles in an hour big deal......stop being a fanny ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You just have to look at it like this, most beginners will tow to run 5k in less than 25 mins, to then do another 3 straight would take some doing. I'm quite a fast walker and will time myself doing 5k, no idea how long it takes. Like Born said just running without stopping for 2 hour straight would be a massive ask for anybody who hasn't ran for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Takes about 40mins to an hour to walk 5k so running 5k in 30 isn't even moderately quick. No offence to to the guy jogging it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get all defensive now I've called you out. You obviously have the data show show us more, you've clocked it on your Samsung app so show us the splits and stuff. If you've done it then good going, I'm too paranoid to put in any miles running because don't want to get injured again. Edited June 1, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No offence to to the guy jogging it It's not about running one 5k though, it's about doing more than 4 on the bounce. Is it Born that's just started running and did 5k in around 24 mins, I'm sure he's quite a fit chap who does plenty of cardio? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If your lungs are decent and your tendons etc upto the strain I don't see what's to stop you, a bloke jumping up off the couch after playing Xbox and smoking 40 a day for 10 years maybe but then again some could prob do that some people are naturally fitter than others.

Less of the twat you twat. Just cos I don't believe it doesn't mean it can't be done. I must admit I've never tried to run those distances for a long time so can't fully gauge it but a while back I started doing 5k runs after years of inactivity and when you're weighing in at 17 stone plus it isn't easy. This is someone who ran at county level whilst a teen. Edited June 1, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't see someone jumping out of bed and putting in that time, especially an older person who's likely carrying some timber.

Gnasher has trained his whole life so it’s not as if he’s some 50 year old couch potato that’s never out a pair of trainers on ... I’m sure during his lifetime he has run many many miles ... mostly from the police 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No I don't need to proclaim I'm something I'm not, I will quite easily post my times for all to see. At the minute weighing in at over 17 stone and with being idle for ages I reckon I'd struggle to do 5k in under 24 mins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
