Those times are ballpark guidelines. In reality the average times will be somewhat higher. These are benchmarks that many seasoned runners strive for. A sub-4 minute/km pace or sub 6:24/mile is not achievable by most of the runners that toe the line at your local 5k and 10k races. Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
