33min 5k... well.. I know I can't run a 33 min 5k even on a treadmill... but I can hop on a bike and ride 50-100 miles at a time.. The first time I went out on my bike (45lbs ago) I went for a 'short' 10 mile ride and at mile 7.5 thought I was going to DIE.. now 50-60 mile rides are no problem.. but I still can't run.
It has already been said to get fitted.. I would have to add to get a GOOD pair of bike shorts, they make a huge difference, not in the butt comfort but in the chafing..
If you can keep a sustained run for 30 min I would guess that 10 miles would be no problem a few times a week until your sit bones get used to the pressure.. and riding 'light' holding most of your body weight on your feet not your butt helps a LOT, just put pressure on your feet enough to lighten the pressure, not so much to lift you out of the seat.
