How much can you decrease your 5k time in 5 months when its currently 37 min?

It depends on if you go running everyday and for how long. It's better to vary the distance you run per week (e.x. week 1 20miles, week 2 20miles, week 3 15miles, week 4 25miles) because it helps with your distance and speed. It also depends on if you push yourself of not, because if you don't then you probably won't see the results you want. I would also cross train and work on my core.

How long does it take to run a half marathon?

Who broke the 3-minute mile and when?

No one on record has broken the 3 minute mile in the last 116 years (since the first modern Olympics). Any records older than that are up for speculation since the mile was not always a standardized race. Here are a few cool stories though:

In 1870 a native American ran behind a horse for a mile. The horse was clocked at 2:40, the native American was not clocked. However, eye witnesses noted his distance behind the horse at the start and at the end of the mile as being very close to the same.

Ladas of Argos in the ancient Greek Olympics. No specific time was recorded, and the distance was 20 stades (about 2.5 miles), but the inscription on his statue says "His speed was demoniac, nor could it even be described."

Asahel from The Bible (2nd Samuel 2) during a battle, chased Abner running fast enough to impale himself on the butt end of a stationary spear which went through his entire body including the armor which he was wearing during the chase. The physics of such an account would suggest that a minimum speed of over 20mph (3 minute mile pace) would have been needed for the blunt pole to travel in one side and out the other side of his body through armor and muscle.

In England during the time of the Roman Empire (2nd century CE) entire tribes of warriors (with similar lifestyles to the native Americans) were noted as being able to catch and overwhelm horse riders while running on foot.

I would be difficult to get any of these, or the dozens of other accounts, to be recognized and accepted by modern scholars. And none of them could be labeled with an exact time or proven to be under a 3 minute mile, but they make for an interesting study.

When and where did the first Ironman triathlon take place?

The First Ironman Triathlon was in Kona, Hawaii. Arranged by a Navy Commander John Collins. It was a combination of the three longest individual events for each of the sports. It consisted of the Waikiki Roughwater Swim (2.4 miles), Around-Oahu Bike Race (115 miles, originally a two-day event), and the Honolulu Marathon (26.2 miles)

Why is the length of a marathon 26miles and 385 yards?

The marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards),[1] that is usually run as a road race. The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens.

Why is a marathon 26 miles?

The 1896 Olympic marathon distance was 24.8 miles. This was the first modern Olympics, which took place in Athens Greece. According to a famous Greek legend, a Greek foot-soldier (thought by many to be Pheidippides) was sent from the plains of Marathon to Athens with the news that an army of Athenian hoplites had fought and driven off the vastly larger invading Persian army. As he approached the leaders of the city-state of Athens, he staggered and exclaimed, "Rejoice! We Conquer!" and then collapsed and died. The distance from the plains of Marathon to Athens is 24.8 miles.

The marathon distance was later changed as a result of the 1908 Olympic Games in London, England. That year, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandria requested that the marathon begin at Windsor Castle (20 miles west of central London), so that the Royal family could view the start. The course distance between the castle and the Olympic Stadium in London was 26 miles. Event organizers added an extra 385 yards around the stadium track, so the competitors would finish directly in front of the King and Queen's royal viewing box.The final distance for the 1908 Olympic marathon was 26 miles, 395 yards (26.21875 miles). The Olympic marathon distance varied until 1921 when it was set at exactly 42.195 kilometres. 26 miles, 385 yards is used as the Imperial approximation (the difference is about a centimetre).

How often should running shoes be replaced?

Running shoes should generally be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or approximately every 6 to 8 months for regular runners. The exact lifespan of a pair of running shoes will depend on various factors, including the runner's weight, running style, the type of terrain they run on, and the quality of the shoes.

It is important to note that running shoes can lose their cushioning and support over time, even if they are not being used regularly. Worn-out running shoes can increase the risk of injury and lead to discomfort while running. Therefore, it is recommended to replace running shoes regularly to ensure that they provide adequate support and cushioning.

It is also a good idea to pay attention to any signs of wear and tear on the shoes, such as worn-out soles, holes in the upper, or a loss of support. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to replace your running shoes, even if you haven't reached the 300 to 500 mile range yet.

If you need new running shoes, get new a new pair of Nike with a 100$ Gift Card. See Link:

How fast can a man jog?

For most people, about 10:00 per mile. Anything faster than that is running, rather than jogging. That having been said, Olympic marathonners "jog" at 5:30/mile (vs. their running speed of faster than 5:00/mile). That's the ultimate limit, I'd say.
