While it is arguable if I were ever a competitive runner, I did participate in high school track and cross country races and have done multiple road races with distances from 1 mile to 26.2 miles. Today I run primarily for fitness and weight loss with little attention paid to speed.
Recently however I participated in a 5K time trial as a qualifier for my corporate team in a popular local road race. I was a bit leery of timing myself among my colleagues with my depressing 11 minute mile pace. I did get out and show up and ran what was a reasonably impressive 28:24. This is a fairly slow 5K time by most runners’ standards but was an achievement for me as I was knocking on the door of 9 minute miles.
The only real downside to running in the time trial was that I finished last and the results were broadcast to a fairly large distribution list.
Personal Bests:
2 mile: 10:50 (1989)
3 mile: 18:05 (1988)
