Thankyou for all the support guys, it really is appreciated; Harry really does have an amazing community here. Also, Thanks to the man in Orange for making it happen! 💪🤙
Hi sunny , I my self have lost weight and started to run , last may I was 120 kg (at 5ft 9) by December I had got Down to 85 kg , and ran my 1st 5k at 37 minutes , it took me a couple of months to get under 30 , and last month I got a 27.08 🤣 but now struggling to get into the 26 minute range. Did you get under 27 ?
@@danbox3565 Hello Dan, I actually took some time off shortly after as strength training got the better of me. Currently recovering from a hamstring injury, but that sub 27 is very much still ticking away in the back of my head. Well done on the weight loss, those times are epic.. Nice one 👐 Sonny
@@thisisjogon just seen this! I ended up going on to peloton and I now ride most days , I found running boring 😴 😬😁 once I completed goal of 5k , did want to do exercise because I love it not because feel I should and peloton helps with that but do their outdoor guided runs occasionally, still watch ur videos thou 😁
I enjoy watching these videos a lot, watching people hit their goals keeps me motivated. Congratulations Sonny! Currently preparing to attempt my own sub 20min 5km on the 30th, keep the content coming!
It would be nice to see Sonny breaking 27min by Christmas. And videos like this about helping people breaking a certain time barrier in a specific distance really motives me and runners alike. Nice video as always.
Cheers Chris - it's amazing what a response videos of these type can get, there is just something about the joy of assisting others to break barriers in running. Thank you for watching
Well done Sonny! Great run! And excellent gate opening pace making Harry 😂 I also have a Christmas 5k goal. Going to try and get back under 25 again! 💪 good luck with the 27!
Well done Sonny! That's a great time! I started running in March and just got my best 5k time of 34.42. Your video inspired me to go for it tonight and I knocked off almost 2 minutes from my last PB. You and Harry are pretty inspiring!
Well done Sonny! Great run. Like others have said, seeing others achieving their goals definitely adds a bit of motivation here too! Onto the Manchester 10k tomorrow!
Well done Sonny !! Looking good for some further speed down the line this year Great motivation and video Harry … I thought for a minute the nun and her friend were going to put a spanner in the works ! 😂
Awesome effort. My first 5k after completing the c25k app was 30:18 and now nearly 8 months later I've set a 20:56 so I definitely think that 27 minutes is a solid and doable target before christmas.
I don't know how we stumbled upon your channel but I'm glad we did. Great, wholesome content and great quality vids. Very much enjoying them. Keep up the good work!
Again well done Sonny, I totally understand what breaking the 30 minute barrier means to keeping you motivated. Just did the Tyne green park run yesterday at 29:21. Did Sonny break the 27 as this is my new 5K park run goal and now on,y 8 weeks to my half marathon. Another great video Harry.
I agree with what others have said that watching you help people to attempt a certain milestone is very motivating to watch, great with that personal angle. Don’t suppose you’ll be around Bournemouth HM in October to pace me to sub 2 hrs? 🤣 I’ve been working hard for last few months on it.
@@NickyJones99 pretty much completely booked up for October - as well as getting a place last minute... that would be an absolutely marvellous video to shoot.
Great running Sonny, sub-30 #awesome Give me a shout when you are ready to go sub-27 and I will come down and be chief cheerleader and gate opener for you guys 👍
I'm doing a bit of training for when our Park Runs actually start up again and today I managed 5k in 40min. I'm a beginner, middle-aged and working on weight loss. It did help to control my breathing.
First off, great motivation and congrats to the both of you! I must admit, though, the thought of circumnavigating(twice) a body of water named "Cheddar Reservoir" makes my stomach a little queasy. Very picturesque spot, on the other hand. Love the visual. I digress. I was impressed by Sonny's grit and determination and Harry's gatekeeping and perfect pacing. Harry provided just the right mix of gentle urging and Martinet-like efficiency in ticking off the kilometers. I suppose "there's an APP", but it aint gonna open the gates, or sidestep the nuns! Fortunately, I don't expect to encounter such obstacles in an upcoming 5K(one month form now) in South Florida. 35 years ago, I lived in NYC and would willingly show up for the odd corporate run in Central Park but, alas, at 68 it's a C25K program this time. Shooting for sub 30 minutes, like Sonny. By the way, no offense meant to the Village of Cheddar. The 5K I'm running is in the City of Boca Raton (English translation: "Rat's Mouth"). Cheers, Tom!
Great stuff Tom, and thank you for taking the time to watch. Wish you all the best with the SUB 30 goal. I hope to come run in Florida again in the not too distant future. Run strong, Harry
New to this channel, and an instant fan! I quite like these videos that feature runners closer to my own skill level. Hoping to get sub 30 in my first 5k race next week!
Excellent. I'm sitting at 32:29 and looking to break the 30mins come the end of May. Started running start of March 22 at 22.5 stone, now down to 20 stone so it's getting easier!!
Brilliant stuff Gordon, and great to hear. Very well done and thank you for watching a JOG ON video. All the best with the next 2 stone and 2 minutes! Harry
I've just found this channel and I'm so glad I have ☺️ I've been trying to jog now and getting more consistent. I was a sprinter at school and always said I could never run more than 200m. The longest I have ever run is 8KM and it's such an achievement for me. I guess the next step is trying to improve times. . . . . . Please could you share tips on how to improve times for the inexperienced. How to run fast for a long time consistently? I just cannot master this. I either sprint at first for a short amount time and flake out. Or I manage the distance, but I'm going slow.
Watching this is motivating me to run the same 5k i ran last year and see if i can beat my time of 27:17. For a 29 year guy who weight over 100 kilo, i surprised myself because the was for me was to make it to the finish line.(didnt think sub 30 was possible lol)
Looking at that pace I'm thinking I too 'might' have broke the 30min barrier this morning. I'll never know as my stopwatch paused on 5sec 😮. I did run without stopping though which was an achievement itself 👍
I’m here after watching sSonny running his first half marathon. Also Harry if you wanna help me reach a sub 25min 5K that would be great currently 27:30 🥺
I am 55 and a good 40 pounds overweight. Yesterday I did my first couch to 5K session. My goal is to do 5K never mind in any kind of time 😀. 🤞 I'll make it.
Not a bad shout. Spoke to him today he’s taken some time off to focus on strength. I’m hoping he’ll make a triumphant return in 2022 Thanks for watching and commenting
Well done Sonny! And well done Harry! If it was me going for a PB I just know we'd have been delayed by a bus load nuns disembarking from a double-decker! I swear I lost 10 to 15 seconds on a parkrun PB attempt, having been unable to get past two middle-aged women "joggers" having a cosy chat about hairdressers. As for setting the record running around "Cheddar Reservoir"! That is screaming for a bad pun. I'll resist.
@@thisisjogon Thank you Harry. That reservoir does look huge. But I must be strong and resist making a terrible pun. It is time I acted like a matur--! Oh fu--!!
