Make the last mile count. 5. Develop your aerobic system by running more. A 5K race is typically 90% aerobic, which refers to how effective your body is at using oxygen for activity. If you have a high aerobic capacity, you use oxygen more effectively to fuel physical performance.
First, enter your recent race distance. For calculations, we assume run distance = 10 km. Then, fill in the recent race time. For example, run time = 48 min 12 sec. Now you can see your estimated V02 levels: VO2 max = 41.77 ml/kg/min. VO2 based on your race pace = 37.69 ml/kg/min, which is equal 90.24 % of V02 max.

If you want to break 15 minutes then your average pace has to be less than this. Pace Per Mile. 4:49. Pace Per Kilometer. 3:00.
Building up to running 5K is a great goal for beginner runners. On race day: You will probably find that you can run at least 20 minutes before you need a break, but whatever your plan, start
The 5K pace chart below divides each mile split for different speeds. You’ll definitely be able to find what works best for you with a range of paces from 4.30 to 15.00 minutes per mile, broken down in 30-second intervals. You can also use your present 5K pace to choose the pace target for the intervals from the table below.
