As a non-smoker, I did 5k in 23m31s at age 26, and at 36 I wanted to come close to that. Exactly 10 seconds slower. 1sec loss per year ain't bad, huh?
Never trained hard for it or anything; pure amateur runner every now and then. But I still hope to one day do the 5k in sub-20 minutes and 10k sub-45. Right now my 10k record at age 28 was ~48min.
Damn nice times. I wanted to prove to myself that I was in decent shape. I never really trained either. Just started off doing a mile twice a day for a week or two.
