How Long Does It Take To Run 2km

Best Answer: A 5k is only 3.1 miles, so if you walk at a 15 minute pace it will take around 45 minutes, it shouldn't take longer than an hour and unless you jog or run some it'll most likely take longer than 30 minutes.

  About 24 minutes. Can do better. Been running for a few years. I run 6 miles (just short of 10k) in about 46 minutes. But, for me that's an easy comfy pace. I may start to work on speed pretty soon. I am hoping to run my half marathon this week in 1:45. We'll see if I can pull it off.

  My first 5k was 45 minutes also... I have only been running since Jan this year.... but it is getting better.. I was just soooo happy to finish!

  I just ran my personal best yesterday...31:16, that was on a pretty much flat trail.
  I started running in March, I run 3 days a weeks (I also swim or bike on run day), and the other 3 days I do heavy weights and elliptical.

  Woah, your a monster! Hopefully I can be as speedy and strong as you one day!

  My 5k best is about 26 minutes..... I'd love to beat 25, but that would mean a lot of speedwork... and I hate running fast. I'd rather run long.
• Just under 32min. Started around November last year, then took a break and am back into it again . It's rewarding being able to do it and it feeling easier and easier.
• Mine is 27:26. I've been running for just over a year now and 4-6 days a week. Consistency is key, and speed truly comes with mileage. I hadn't even worked to get faster and my body just did it for me. now that i'm comfortable here I have to do speed work
  But then again, I didn't run my first 5K until 2 months shy of a full year of running, so I had plenty of practice!

  I can't run them (Severely bad knee's) but a walk and finish them... best time so far is 50:08...... I'll take it considering 35 months ago I could barely walk from my recliner to the bathroom.... Best of Luck....

  I am still in the 24s, started running Aug/2011 (30s) - and ran in the 24s in Mar/2012. I did mostly cross training until February of this year.

  23:54 was my recent PR. When I started, I was at 43 minutes. Just keep running and logging miles and you will get there!
• Last week I did 3 miles in 19:49 seconds. If you round that up to a 5k (3.107 miles), that is about 20:30. I'll have to try the distance out some time and see what I can get.

  I'm Running my first on July 4th, I just hope I can beat my Daughter, another one of my Soccer players and her mom, we have a bet on the race!
  I'm naturally a Sprinter and hate long distance, but I plan on Crushing it.

• I did my best today and ran a 5k in about 45 minutes. Yikes!
  What's your best time, how fast do you run, and how long have you been running?

  
  My last 5k was about the same... it was also the first 5k I had run in about 15 years! I was just excited that I did it and I finished!
  Remember, the only person you have to beat is yourself. Keep pushing to go just a little faster or a little farther each time and you'll get there. If you're improving, you're winning.

  About 25 minutes for me, but a guy I work with has done a corporate challenge (electronically timed), 27:30 for 7.2 k's, I hate to think of his 5k time!
• My best time for a 5k was 19:39. I've been running for about 5 years. Personally I think marathons are a lot more fun.
• _Bob_Posts: 1,496MemberMemberPosts: 1,496MemberMember

  ran one in 48 min last year, but that was just out of the blue with no training. have one coming up in a month, this time I've been training for it so I can hopefully get back into running.
• I started running in February of this year and my 5k PR is 21:13.
• Just did my first one last Saturday in 36:02. That was a walk, walk, walk, jog, walk, walk, jog. Been mostly walking for exercise.
