Does holding your breath under water improve your stamina?
Just speaking from personal experience, yes. I heard about this from a friend, so I decided to try it. After only a few weeks and a lot of practice, I've been able to work up to over a few minutes underwater without taking a breath, and noticed that it has definitely improved my stamina when working out, running, etc... I can do that "extra few" push ups, and run that extra lap now.
My educated guess is that is has something to do with increasing oxygen levels in the blood - the more 02 in the blood, the more stamina, and the longer you can hold your breath.

IS running 5km in 20 min good?
The answer to the question is as wide ranging as people are wide ranging. In general, for a person in "pretty good" shape, i.e. runs a couple times a week, if you can maintain a 5/KM run rate you are doing pretty well.
That would be 25 minutes for a 5k. 20 minutes would be considered good shape and when you get into the 15 minute range you are doing very well.
What is the system of meditation and exercise in Indian?
There are many different meditation techniques, but all of them have one thing in common: they all cause you to become more self-aware, more watchful of your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations.
Some techniques are still: for example, you sit and watch your breath. Others are active, asking you to move, dance, make sounds, etc.
Perhaps the best thing to do is look around at different techniques and find one which "feels right." Then go ahead and try it for a few weeks.
My Indian master offered us many beautiful techniques, both still and active.
some meditate in monestrys some in a zendo or a place where they peacefully and seriously do meditation and some meditate in any place they want even in their home so you need not go anywhere to meditate you can meditate wherever you are however you are.
