Lots of people in here just bragging about their times or looking for kudos, but if you come across this comment, this program does work. Its the perfect amount of intensity for someone who is fairly new to running, and as long as you're consistent and disciplined, you will absolutely nail that sub 30-min 5k time by following this.

Great vid.

Day four, towards Burgh Island looking down to Bantham. Stunning scenery and I surprised myself. By week two, five milers.

In my best days I ran a 5k in 25mins but that was 5 years ago. I focused on weight lifting afterwards and for years I couldn't go faster than a 5k in 30-31min. I hit 29 mins a few weeks ago and 28 mins the other day after incorporating sprint road cycling in my routine. Really helped with my VO2 max. Try to increase your VO2 max through sprinting then you'll be faster.

@isitrachelorj3953 2 года назад

People will hate on me for saying this, but here I go anyways. WALK. If you are having trouble running 9 minute miles there is probably a reason (size, health, structural deficiency). WALK at a very brisk pace and save the wear and tear that running imposes on the body. I have run all my life, at times very swiftly, and now at sixty years old I walk - not because I can't run anymore (7 years ago I won the over 30,40,50 division and finished 3rd overall) at a small local race, 6:40 ish, but because it is better for my body. Film yourself running, not just at the start of a run but 30 minutes in, and if it looks painful, awkward or stressful try walking. After a while you might find better conditioning, better health overall and give running another try.

Gee, that's a big variation from treadmill time to outside time. Are you setting your treadmill with a positive incline to make it harder? Are you running at a slower pace on the treadmill? I set my treadmill to a positive incline and dial up to a slightly higher pace ... seems to come in pretty even when I run outside.

Great episode! My first objective as a 49 year old beginning "runner" (pre-covid gym goer) last year was a sub 30 and I just about made it (it improved this year to 28:11 during a training run). After the Canadian winter break I set my mind on a sub one-hour 10k (actual 56:59). I am now struggling to get faster in this second half of the season (hoping for a sub 27:30 on a 5k). I wish I had a pacer as a major challenges throughout my training sessions has been to consistently hit my target pace instead of yoyoing crazily around it.

@lauranagyreed 2 года назад

I also started running late (46) and have managed to progress to a 29 minute 5 km and just a few seconds over an hour 10 k. It's nice to see posts from fellow Canadians who are "like me" on their running journey. What's helped me a lot is treadmill running - I finally broke down and bought one so that I don't take a 2-3 month hiatus if we have a bad Canadian winter. Also the treadmill helps me keep a consistent pace which is something I very much struggle to do when Im just running outside by myself (even WITH a watch on my wrist, my legs have a mind of their own). Happy Running, Ralph! (and everyone else reading)

I then realized that I was running for the wrong reasons because I truely do love it and the stress relief it provides.

I watched this and you guys and gal sure do make it sound like a 30min 5k is a lot of work. I wonder how much your insides are turning in a not because we all know you can do sub 20, I think the last time I did a 5k it was like 42 minutes, I might have been the last person to cross the line, hey someone has to be last. I think it great though that you guys do these longer runs because for some the idea of a 20 min 5k is impossible and this we can hope will keep people motivated to set goals, targets and plans to get better. You all have the best fun and achieve your personal goals.

@hurricane7800 2 года назад

Hey, keep up the good work! In my experience, most runners don't judge for a slower time and are just supportive and happy for anyone who gets out there. Sure, they run sub-20, but they would understand exactly how hard it is to work up to a tough goal, be that what it is for any runner. Hence why they made a guide! :)

@claire1965ify 2 года назад

I’ve been running a 38 minute 5k once or twice a week for 6 months now. It’s frustrating that I can’t go faster longer.. today I ran for like 8 minutes at 5.5 mph but ran out of gas and had to finish by slowing down…had like an 11:30 mile. I do longer slow runs but no speed work and do a local couch to 5 k here twice a week. I will try your plan. I really hope I can speed up to a 10 minute mile. It’s so frustrating that I can even do one 10 minute mile!

@lauranagyreed 2 года назад

Keep running! You'll get there. Took me a good year to get to 30 min k so I can start contemplating a sub 30. Even then for my PB i very much "cheated" by choosing a flat course and cool temperatures. (just around 10 Celsius)

@Jaigarful 2 года назад

Yeah you really need speed work if you want go go faster. When I was in basic training, they had to bring a lot of young men who were not natural runners (myself included) down to a 15:54 2 mile. It was done with a combination of interval training and long distance runs (which was ~ 4-5 miles for us back then). Our intervals were what they called Indian Runs and sometimes track work. We'd run in groups of around 20-30 people, and we'd break up into 2 columns, and 2 people furthest back in each column would sprint to the front, and it would repeat. We also do 30/60's and 60/120's, which were running as hard as you can for 30/60 seconds, then walking for 60/120. Its very similar to whats proposed here.

running is high impact sport so always be careful if you start running as exercise. running also a patient sport so always be patient when start running, start slow never immediately run fast, even you have start with fast walking if you never have running exercise before. start with fast walking regularly then mix fast walking with slow running. in time reduce the walking and increase the running. then after getting better in run you can running without walking or even stop longer than before

Great video!! What about the final 5k though? What would be the perfect warm-up to start strong? Maybe the warm up before the main sets of the speed runs? And what about the last week before the final 5k attempt? How easy should that be?

@thepsychologist8159 2 года назад

Hey Trantas, I noticed no-one replied. Those are some good questions. For a 5k, which is a fairly intensive run, you definitely want your body adequately warmed up and your heart prepared for the sudden spike it's about to experience. Personally, I do a 2km warm-up. This incorporates fast walking, then butt kicks, slow-step and fast-step knee raises, a slow jog and some short sprints. Other people I know just do a 10-15 minute easy run beforehand, which is effectively what you'd do before attempting strides or speed work. In regards to the last week, I just make sure I've rested for 2 days before the actual race, personally I don't think a tapper is necessary (I only do this when I'm training for a half or full marathon) but I recommend doing mobility exercises and dynamic stretching on these days off - you'll definitely feel the difference on race day (compared to if you didn't).

@carstenhansen5757 2 года назад

If you want to run faster, you start with sprints. After a run, you sprint the last 30 - 45 - 60 secs, give it all you got, even if makes you look like a complete moron. That will give you larger leg muscles, which will enhance your overall speed. Ofc you may need to push yourself, especially at the beginning. But at some point you will love the sprint and what it gives you. As a bonus, your ass will disappear.
