Average 3k Time

The average 3k time varies considerably based on several factors, primarily age, sex, and fitness%20level. It's also important to differentiate between running on a track versus running on the road, as track times are generally faster.

  • Beginner: A beginner runner can expect a 3k time around 18-21 minutes, or even slower.

  • Intermediate: An intermediate runner aiming for a decent time might target something in the range of 13-17 minutes.

  • Advanced: Highly trained runners, especially competitive%20athletes, can achieve times well under 10 minutes for men and just over 10 for women.

Keep in mind that these are just general guidelines. Your individual training and other variables like environment (hills, weather) will influence your actual time.
