I wish it was that easy.
I trained hard for a year and barely made it under 24.
I guess it depends on age and if you are carrying around a bit of extra weight.
5K is a wonderful distance though. You can walk it in an hour, walk / jog it in 40, jog it in 30 .. then a whole world of gradual improvements and mind games open up to get you from there to 20 mins.
