Army RFL test is 2.4km in under 10mins 30sec which is pretty easily achievable so I would say 3km in anything under 11mins 30sec is pretty good.

Use to run 6km in 19min to 19min30 in my running days so reckon 3km on under 10mins is pretty respectable

thats pretty fast, how much did you weigh at the time? i used to run 7km, fastest i got was 23min 50sec at 87/88kg

Was 5th/6th form at school so would have been about 60kg I reckon. Remember running 19.20 for 6km in NZ road race and getting 6th in that time for my age group.

i did 5k road runs like 2yrs ago, fastest was 17 - 17.5mins, now i run them in like 25mins+ LOL

Just a question. Whats the idea behind the 3km run?

Hey mate, I do a 8.17min 2.4km run, i think that's not too bad.

realistically i would consider 3km in sub 10.30 mins a good time.

I know the army allows 10.30mins for 2.4km but I think that's a little too relaxed. plus it's considered a G2 (grade two) which is not great. G1 army is 2.4km in sub 10mins.

Without some info, it is impossible to say what is good. Are you a 90 year old woman or an 18 year old man? I am a 40 year old male who runs competitively. I am currently running 3k in 10 minutes so for me anything under 10mins is "good'. Please provide some context.
