I wish it was that easy.

I guess it depends on age and if you are carrying around a bit of extra weight.

5K is a wonderful distance though. You can walk it in an hour, walk / jog it in 40, jog it in 30 .. then a whole world of gradual improvements and mind games open up to get you from there to 20 mins.
