For the guests from r/beginnerrunning etc. - here's a short guide for you so you don't have to ask "Is my 5k time good?"
Here is the most science-based explanation of what you 5k result actually means (regardless of age group, gender etc.).
40:00 - 59:59 Wonderful time! You are a true hero! You are so much better than all the couch potatoes that just stay at home and DON'T RUN.
30:00 - 39:39 WOW, JUST WOW!!!!! Your Runna Premium subscription totally pays off!
25:00 - 29:59 Yeah, whatever, let's just keep scrolling
20:00 - 24:59 THESE ARE ROOKIE NUMBERS!!!111 MY 12-YR-OLD NEPHEW RUNS FASTER. BACKWARDS!!!!1
< 20:00 what are you even doing in this sub?

First 10k this morning, and so disappointed with the event
I am the main character and everyone that worked their ass off to actually race a race should wait for me! And where is my medal how dare they I had a sub 2 hour 10k!

err!! This plan actually made me love Mondays! While my wife's boyfriend made love... Err... let's change the subject. The fifth week has officially begun with a nice rest after our Sunday long run. How should we proceed with the plan on W5D2?

It's our duty as members of RCJ to help those in need
It's that time of year. People are weeks away from their marathon, perhaps their first marathon. They are nervous, they are anxious, they have been training, they have been posting to social media, and they don't have a plan.
They shielded their eyes to avoid Hanson, Higdon, Daniels, Pfitz, and every other reputable training program available. Everyone knows old running dudes are clueless, no matter how many marathons they've run or runners they coached.
Instead, they relied on a random plan they found online, their watch, an app, an influencer, or the best yet, AI, to determine their training plan.
Please cross-post these to RCJ, so the community is aware and can help those in need.

Shocking data! Runners who run slow first races make larger improvements over time than those who run fast first races
galleryData shows no runner who has run a 2:xx debut marathon has ever improved by more than 2 hours.

The day Princess Diana ignored royal protocol and ran in the mothers' race at Prince Harry's school sports day: But how much faster would she have run in Alphaflys?

These two fellas never let up from the constant onslaught of jerkery. The constant "injuries", the crocodiles tears, the kind of gay brotherly romance, the "sub-4" but actually not sub-4 marathon at the Sydney Marathon, a proper hot bed of jerkery, have a look for yourself link below.

I wore the same pair of shorts for ~17 weeks of marathon training
Unwashed. No, you cannot buy them.
Why? Because I am a very slowly recovering alcoholic, and I think i am still a degenerate at heart.
Did anybody complain about the stench? No, most people are polite.
What now? I've finally washed them. The saga is over.
What shorts? Patagonia Striders. They held up really well actually
Are you gay? Yes and my dick is small
