I do a lot of running.

And by running, I mean sprinting to the bench press station before that one asshole who likes to do DB flys on the bench station gets to it, even though we have like 5 free benches right next to the DB rack.

5K

Faster times will come just focus on completing it. It doesn't matter if you have to slow down to a fast walking pace for a bit.

I started cardio and lifting 5 times a week 7 weeks ago

at first I could only run .3 miles at 6mph before getting winded, but every week I'd push myself a little harder. made it half a mile, then 3/4 of a mile and so on every week. I'm not at 8:30 mile (7mph) and im sure I can bring it down to 8:00 this week

just keep progressing and keep pushing yourself, no matter how pathetic you start off at

I have cycled (road) for a good few years, don't want to lose the fitness so incorporate some solo time on the spin bike into my time.

Don't judge, I like to cycle.

I bike to my local squat rack, then bike home after I'm done using it

I managed to go from 6'0 290ish lbs to 175-180 and can do a 5k in about 28-30mins.

At what point will I start to have a semi-okay bod and whats a decent time for someone doing a 5k in general?

Under 30 is a decent casual time for a 5k.
Under 20 is when your time starts getting in the competitive neighbourhood.
People will start saying shit about how any trained man should be able to do a 5k in 15 minutes but they're retarded, that's elite time. Sub 20 is very good for an amateur runner. Sub 18-20 is a great goal, lower than that you're probably a dedicated runner approaching elite status.

Your body will look good when you're lean and have muscle underneath it. I'm surprised your body looks bad now (which I inferred from your question) because 175-180 at 6 feet is fairly thin, so if you're still looking skinnyfat you must have very little muscle mass.

I'm 5'9" and weigh 175 at age 25, around 10% body fat, give or take 1-2% (visible six pack, separation visible between chest/shoulders/triceps, visible lines on quads).
My best ever 5k time was 18:47 when I was 21 and weighed 160 pounds. I was playing competitive ice hockey at the time so my cardio was excellent, and I wasn't carrying as much weight.
Right now I run to supplement my rowing training, and my best recent 5k time was 21:12. I usually hit it sub 22:30 though.

I masturbate furiously at least 5 times a day with lube while edging. It's a serious heart pump to edge as long as you can.
>>
>>37460113
I'm 21 years old, 71kg, and I run probably twice a week. My current 5k time is 18:30 but I started at about 21:00 a few months ago. Just keep at it and it will slowly but surely get faster and faster (it also becomes really addictive!)

Anybody here done a beep test? Is getting to level 7 hard?
>>
>>37462023
If you can't get a 7 on a beep test you have shit cardio
>>
>>37457356
I play soccer for a semi pro team, so I run probably 3 times a week on top of lifting 5 times a week.
>>
>>37457356
Barbell complexes 2-3 times a week, plus a 1-2 hour hike with the gf and pupper on the weekend.

I'm doing HIIT on my SL off days, I used to do like 30-40 minutes of low-medium intensity cardio every day when I was focused on just losing weight.
