A good 5k time for a 12 year old will be affected by a range of factors. Running experience, gender, weight, height and a whole host of external and environmental situations will make a difference to the stopwatch.

If you spend time and energy you can maybe do it
A good 5k time depends on the experience level of the runner, but generally I am happy with anything under 30 minutes for a beginner runner, which equates to a sub-10-minute per mile pace. This is

I would say a VERY GOOD level for anyone to aim for is to achieve an 80% age graded time. That rule applies regardless of age and sex. No-one will be able to achieve that level of performance without LOTS OF run-specific training. Yet even with manifestly imperfect form it can still be achieved. And I would say that sub-20 is a good performance

So I would do 1 min fast/2 min slow. Usually about 15-20 of those. Warmup and cooldowns on speed days. Sunday - 13-15 miles at easy to medium pace. Usually I keep it at a 9.5 to 10 min/mile for the first 3 miles and then up to 8.25 to 8.5 min/mile. *** I only run 6 days a week and take rest days as needed.
The Bottom Line. To sum up 5k times in a nutshell; 13 to 19 minutes in general is what would put you amongst the best runners. For men that averages to about 13 to 15 minutes and for women 16 to 19 minutes. If you want to reach these speeds, first, train your endurance with distance runs and cross-training and rest; you can then work on cutting
