What you need.

Running 5km in less than 25 minutes requires an average pace of 4:59/km — equivalent to a VDOT of approximately 38. This places you in the intermediate runner range, a level achievable by anyone dedicated.

If you already run 5km in 27-30 minutes consistently 3-4x per week, you are just 8-12 weeks away from crossing the 25-minute mark with the right training.
