I generally agree with the advice, but anyone in good health should be able to run a 5k. It's literally 20ish minutes of exercise. Beyond that is when the negative effects of running start to come into play.
- krona 4y agoI think more like 30-35 minutes at the 50th percentile for the general population (ignoring warmup, stretching etc.)
- wintermutestwin 4y agoThe negative effects of running are about body mechanics, not aerobic fitness.
- jeltz 4y ago20ish minutes? Nope, it is 25-35 minutes for most people. When I could run a 20:30 5k I was in pretty good shape and that was an all out effort which left my legs tired for days. Running a 21-22 minute 5k is a great time for an amateur and nothing anyone not fit could just run, much less so during normal training.
