I'm also fourteen. If you want a good 5k time you must practice and push yourself. What gets you through those short races is your long run. Start off with a mile and increase the distance at max 2 miles a week. Limit yourself at 12 miles. If you train properly you should easily be able to run a race in under 20 minutes. Another thing you can do is buy a good pair of trainers for your long runs and then track cleats for the races. I would recommend Asics but other brands will do. If you go to a running specialty store then they will tell you exactly what you need based on your arch. I have a naturally low arch and i need a high level of support for my feet so i don't get injured. Sorry for all the extra info but i though it might be helpful.

Answer 3

To walk a 5k in 40 minutes, you would need to maintain a pace of 13 minutes per mile. This equates to walking at a speed of about 4.6 miles per hour. This pace would require consistent effort and focus throughout the duration of the walk.

Answer 4

To run 5 and a half miles in 35 minutes you must average at least 9.43 miles per hour for the whole distance.

Answer 5

Just a tad faster than 12 miles per hour

Answer 6

Your pace must be at least 4.7 mph
