How fast can a normal hard worker run a 5k?
Lets say you have the average american(genetics wise) and he trains 5-6 times a week hard and right, how fast do u think 6 months of hard work will get him
I think hard work by itself, without genetics will enable someone to run a 5k in somewhere between 16:20 and 17:30

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.

I didn't use any sort of special diet, I kind of just ate whatever I felt like. Of course running comes a bit easier to me than bigger guys because I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs.
