The comments are correct in that you should check inside. Here is a potential solution. Note that an asynchronous function (by using a thread for example) is different from this solution. This is synchronous which means it will still run in series.

for x in range(0,3):
    someFunction()

def someFunction():
    start = time.time()
    while (time.time() - start < 5):
        # do your normal function

    return;
