Is 5 Miles In 32 Minutes A Good Time ?

[cyprus2012]

I have been training for 2 months now for a 10 mile race in October , I'm able to run 5 miles in 32 minutes comfortably , is this good and could I get to elite level if I push myself? I weigh 10 stone and 184 cm in height

5 miles is approx 8k. !0k in 30 mins would be close to "elite" I would think

Well I keep myself fit but it would take me nearer 40 minutes so it seems pretty good to me, but it's probably some way short of elite standard. But if you've only been training for 2 months you can probably improve by a lot more

32 minutes is pretty good for 5 miles if you only started running 2 months ago and suggests you have a fair scope for improvement.
Elite level I'd class as sub 5-minute miling, so that is a target you can certainly aim for. Just be careful not to overdo things too quickly. There's great satisfaction training and seeing your times come down, even if they stop short of you becoming a world beater

I think 30 minutes is a good time. So you are still two minutes late. But it is only my guess, maybe it is alright for you.

Not if you are a Formula 1 racing driver.
