Tuthfully, I think that's a bit fast for a beginner. I'd put a true beginner at 30 minutes, but you should be able to make really rapid progress to get down to 25 minutes. After that it gets a little tougher. |

Eh, maybe. Depends on a few factors, but I feel like if you're already running a mile or two a day at anything under 10-minute miles, it shouldn't take that long to get under 30 minutes/3 miles. I think I was capable of running 3 miles in under 26 minutes in 8th grade when I first started running X-C, iirc. |

10 to 11 minute pace is good for a beginner. Anywhere from 31 to 32 minutes total.
I finished my first timed 5k at 30:05. Within a year of that, I had dropped more than 50 lbs and my best time was a shade under 23 minutes. I've run roughly 1,000 miles per year for the past 11 years and almost all of my 5Ks now are from 26-29 minutes. It depends how hilly the course is and how much I want to just enjoy the scenery of any given course. |

I'm only 5' 8" so I get it. Assuming the person is relatively healthy and of at least average height, 8 minute miles shouldn't be that hard with regular practice, imo. I mean, I ran competitively in HS and a little in college, so maybe I'm not the right person to ask, but I was still able to run sub 8-minute miles (barely, like 7:45+) until I was around 45, with bad knees and ankles. Mostly I think it's a question of proper mechanics and breath control. I mean, 8 minute/miles is only like 7.5 mph. That's a quick jog. |
