In this video I talk about how I ran under 20 minutes in the 5k! Running sub 20 is a big milestone for so many runners so hopefully this will help if you're thinking about having a crack, whether it's a time trial, parkrun or a race! ENJOY! xox

My naive approach to breaking 20mins was going to the gym and setting the treadmill to 15km/h every other day and holding on for dear life, eventually got there but this was before I knew about training plans lol

@SkylerTanner 3 года назад

The “Extension of endurance “ approach you used is often part of a structured training program.

@nikitaw1982 2 года назад

Why not? That method suits my personality. Plus males higher testosterone so build muscle faster, means all body systems adapt quicker. Soccer players do 15 minutes 15 seconds 15 rounds. 1 minute per round. Fast and with an incline. 15 seconds running then jump off feet either side of the moving bit. Rest 45 seconds. If only get to 10 rounds do remander 10 seconds on 50 seconds off. If goal 20 min 5k Once can do 15 rounds, up the number of rounds or raise time per round running at that speed...15 seconds to 20 secomds 40 secomds rest. Personally I'm doing runners body weight exercises until I can get through what a fast runner can do whilst doing a lot of slow runs bare foot. Then maybe do this work out. I want to talk to a coach though or am sports physiologist.

@htmonaro1969 3 года назад

When I broke 20min, back in 2015 (at 56) I used to do this Sunday long run called an Intensive Endurance run. The original version was only 12km, but I bumped it up to 15km. I would run 3km to warm up, then run 5km at 30sec per km slower than goal pace, so 4:29 per km, followed by 1km easy then another 5km at 4:29 per km, followed by 1km cool down. The 30sec margin is the so-called sweet spot. It's fast enough and long enough to stress the system, without being at race pace. The second 5km run is where the magic happens. It is very hard to maintain the pace, especially given you would normally run a hard workout on Saturday. I found it took me 3 or 4 weeks before I could hit the pace on the second 5km.

@eddiegaul1903 3 года назад

Enjoyed the video Sarah. It's been a while since I ran sub 20. I am working on getting back there thanks to yours and Ben's help. For me, a lot of it was working on the mental toughness, which you touched on in your video. Having confidence you can do it, knowing you can handle the pain that comes along with it, and being able to gut through are often under looked components of running. For specific 5K / 10K stuff though you really don't need to be piling on the miles. For me, I've always had to pick my poison: speed or endurance. As always, love your video (and have incorporated your 10 minute core workout as well).

@jeremyoliviermusic 3 года назад

Such a natural with this channel! Thanks so much for sharing. I’ve broken 20min 4 times now but my lowest is a 19:49. I know I have lower in me- working on strength and getting more free in my hips/glutes because injuries keep reoccurring when I up my mileage and speed sessions. I’m a late starter to running but I absolutely love it! Thanks again to you and to Ben for all the inspiration 🙏🙏🙏

Perhaps you could both do more case studies with your coached athletes of various standards tracking their training and progress towards their goals (Ben’s goal are too advanced for most of us!).

5 years ago I broke my 5k record with my PB all time (19:58). After then I was so focused on cycling. By doing that, I fell out from my running form-motivation-mental stability. Now I am trying to close my previous shape in running but I am not sure to catch up those paces (around 3:30-3:50 per km). That's why I chose this video while I am taking little baby steps again.

@richardtuson605 3 года назад

Good video. You should join a running club. Doing reps with other good runners once allowed will bring you on even more. Agree on reducing long run but would try to keep mileage up overall as much as possible. That increased mileage is what helps s lot of runners pb during marathon training. Doing work at faster than race pace is a good idea as you said. A lot of runners don't think shorter stuff is doing anything but you once you've maxed out distance you need to get your mile time down for further improvements.

@pegcaptain 3 года назад

Was trying to this last year (virtually). Couldn't hack the training paces, had a few health issues. Frustrating as I've run 21:21 in 2019 and still had more to give, but anything under 23 seems elusive now. Wish I had the confidence. P.S. been doing your core video a lot lately.

@ivanjeremija9180 3 года назад

Like Sarah ,I too find out by accident the 5x1000m goal pace session .Later I found on internet that Mcmillan sees this as golden, key session for 5k! His plans are 8 weeks to 5k every other week you do - 12x400, 8x600 , 6x800 and then finally the best wourkout 5x1000m(goal pace) 1 week out from the race. This really works ,I tried it and its the best method in my opinion. Also Sarah if you read this ,congrats ,You are a better faster runner than I am(i used to be a cyclist).I think without kidding that You are better ultra runner than Ben, do You think it winds him up? I watched all your videos of those ultars you guys did,Ben always seem to fall apart with stomac problems ,and You come in finish line first and Ben is all frowning -or maybe I got it completely wrong?!

Please let me know what training I need to get faster.

@arrowknee7356 2 года назад

What worked for me was when you start hitting the 20 minute 5km is to increase your 5km runs whilst maintaining that pace. So run 5.1km, then expand that out until you can maintain that pace for another km or 2. Then each week do another run of just speed work faster then your target pace (like 6 x 800 metre runs as hard and fast as you can). Then after doing this for several weeks (along with a slow run etc), drop your training to a low level for a few days then drop that now 7ish km run back to 5km and see if you can push harder (I'd target roughly 10 seconds faster per km. There will be some experimenting from person to person though to find what your body responds best to.

Definitely a mix of longer easy pace runs (for me 10-12K), tempo run (at ~90% effort) 15-20min session, maybe some uphill reps x10 with recovery run down, or 200m, 300m, 400m fast sessions all with suitable recovery times - keeps it interesting and fun. Rest days are very important for your body to recover. Lastly, watch your diet (I love food too much) but trimming down even a little makes it easier - you'll lose weight anyway as running is so inefficient.

In my case is just cardio for my weight loss journey and I'm in a healthy weight right now but I will like to hear from someone who take running more seriously the ugly part of the training because let's be honest, sometimes you perform bad because of the fatigue or idk and I think some people could feel frustrated, one thing I learned doing exercise is the importance to hear your own body to prevent injuries

My goal is to get to 20min 5k, I'm 210lbs, ex bodybuilder, would you recommend focusing on zone 2 heart rate training to get faster over time?

Not telling anyone your goal, that's really good advice And believe you can do it during the race, that's also good advice My 5K PB is 20:04, in the last mile I started to slow down and I gave up sub 20 mentally and allow myself to run tempo pace instead. Big mistake.
