How does your 5K PB compare to the UK average?

Ever wondered how your 5k time stacks up? 🤔 While recent Strava data shows the average is around **28:05 for men** and **32:37 for women**, that number doesn't tell the real story. A "good" time isn't about beating an average. It's about beating your own doubts. It's about the feeling of crossing a finish line—any finish line—and knowing you gave it your all. For many new runners, getting under 30 minutes is a huge milestone worth celebrating! The most important race is the one against yourself. So forget the stats and tell us: what’s a running goal you're proud of? 👇 #whyrun #5krun #RunningCommunity #UKRunning #RunningMotivation #RunYourOwnRace #BeginnerRunner
