Chasing a Sub 20 5k // Ep5 // Severn Bridge Parkrun // Pacer Week 

Thanks Rachel!! 😁 I think my recent Pbs have been because of my marathon training earlier this year. Unfortunately though the marathon itself had left me with a lingering injury which has only allowed me to run shorter distances and having to reduce my total mileage. However, I think I may be in a place to do more now and do exactly as you suggest (I hope so anyway as I’d like to start a training block for Cardiff half very soon). In the short years I’ve been running I’ve be guilty of skipping strength days in favour of a run but since my injury I have been doing regular strength work - runners exercises at home which I am now adding weights to. Hopefully this makes a difference in terms or injury prevention and improvements in my running.

@@kathrynflannery2889 Excellent! Well done!! You will continue to improve on that I’m sure. I have seen progression across all my running over the last 4years since I started to run more regularly. Thank you and thanks for watching!

@@Mack.Tracks 😂 best of luck with that and thanks!

@@raleyadventures thank you!! Yeah, I enjoyed that one. I’ll keep plugging away at it, it’ll probably happen when I least expect it!

Thank you Matt! It does zapp you on the way to the turnaround and although I made some of that back with my sub4 at 4k I’d lost to much after 2k. I think I’ll go back there at some point and give it another go. I will check out Cardiff, thanks 👍🏻

@@SwimBikeRunStu thank you! It was a good one! very different from the usual.

@@zebastinio wow! Fantastic time! And at such a young age, sounds like he will get some incredible times in the future too!
