Depends on various factors

What shape are u in before u start training?
How tall are u? what do u weigh?

Are u built for speed?

a 16 minute 5k is outrageous. Seriously, that is usually top 20 in a state high school meet.

So the average guy, Yeah, bout 30 minutes honestly.

I've been running for 2 years, I am 5'8, 185 pounds and I run under 2 hour half marathons and the best I've ever done a 5k is 22 minutes.

So there are tons of factors that go into it.
