Have started running since this May after one year break. Last year I could run 5K in about 29:00 and 10K in about 1:01:00.
However, when I resumed running this May, first day I could barely go 1.9K in 13:33 !
Have been running since then 3-4 times a week. With some progress in terms of 5K as:
May 22, 5K = 38:21
Jun 15, 5K = 35:37
Jul 14, 5K = 33:32
Jul 19, 5K = 31:11 [PB this season ]
Although, I am having some progress, I want to run 5K in 25:00.
I know I should not focus on timing and rather enjoy running, but I am competent in nature as otherwise I can't keep motivation.
Unfortunately, I was always sort of unfit person and very poor when it comes about athletics.
So do you think a goal of 5k in 25m is too agressive given my poor record/gene? Or as I heard, with hard work, almost any one can achieve this?
For data: I am 1.86m tall, 198 lb [last year 186 lb], 32y, male. But as I said, I was particularly poor in atheltics in my school days.
