Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good 5K time for a 50-year-old man?

The median is around 28:57. Faster than 24:37 puts you in roughly the top 20% of your age group.

Where does this data come from?

Baseline estimate — not enough verified submissions for this age group yet. Each figure blends a published baseline model with real anonymous submissions using a shrinkage estimator: with few samples the value stays close to the baseline, and as submissions accumulate the real data takes over. Groups with fewer than 8 submissions show the baseline only.
