Finishing a 5K(3.1 miles) can be completed in 20-30 minutes for the good to average runner. You can mix in some speed work at short distances with repeat bouts of running 30 to 90 secs, with equat rest bouts. Buiilding up to 10 reps. This is just one example. Most important. Start easy, and progress based on what your body is telling you.
