25 minute 5k club checking in. I read once that 25min 5k is enough to call yourself "a runner" if that makes you feel any better.
(Personally am apathetic about who can and cannot call themselves "a runner" and if someone with a 40min 5k wants to then good for them. )
Belagerent-
Well thank you and @DerDieDas for the props :-) Generally I run pretty slow 6-7+min KMs, but at the moment it's all cross country so inevitably pretty up and down - and there's always a cheeky 11min KM for some bastard hill. I've always been much more interested in distance than speed - love seeing the route on the map after a long run. Feels like such an accomplishment.
I agree - anyone who's out walking, jogging, running or whatever gets maximum respect from me everytime.

Wow you lot are wicked quick! My 5km is like 25 mins lol. Got a cracking run in this morning with wife and dog, lush 17km with lots of snacks and laughs :-)
