 Topic - 5K advice

How realistic is a 20 minute 5k?
I ran my first 5k a week ago. I used to do quite a bit of running (though was never much good) mainly half marathons and the like, and speed-work etc with the local running club. But due to current circumstances 5k is more suitable because of time available for training etc (difficult to find time for long runs).
I hadn't trained for the 5k per se, and did it on a whim, but have been doing a couple of short (2.5 miles) runs per week, and fairly intense circuit training twice a week, mainly for general fitness/weight loss for climbing.
I did the 5K in 22.27; given that my focus is climbing, not running, is it completely unrealistic to aim for a 20m 5K by the summer? How much training do people normally put in to get that time?
Any advice much appreciated. |
