Good 5 KM time for a starter

newbygirl · 2014-01-21 12:32:41

Hey I ran my first 5 kilometer race recently and I am told in an exceptional time for a newcomer. I have been playing two sports at a high level for the last four years so am in very good shape but am wondering if there is any point in taking running up more seriously. Tks

Join a club.
See if you enjoy it.
Until you start winning/placing in races, focus on your own improvement rather than worrying about what time is 'good'
