  • yes, we love new sessions! i recently went under 30 mins with my 5k for the first time in a long time, and that felt pretty damn good, so lets goooooooo....
  • The kind of videos you need to watch more than once to extract the good infos, thank you sir.
  • @MARYTYSON333
    My favorite motivational running channel, thanks Mary & Ben
  • @Notoriousdpt
    Love your content as always. Also like the fact that you are living happily in Thailand.
  • Great timing! I just signed up for a 5K in October and was wondering what I should be doing to get a faster time.
  • @kurtssv
    Great workout ideas. Session 3 would make a good tune-up workout the week of a race.
  • @Ali94749
    Great sessions. Hoping to get back to sub 20 in Autumn.
  • @tnewsome9121
    Nice video! I have a half-marathon coming up in October but also taking on a few races in between time. I have a 5k coming up on 07/04/24. On my conditioning days, I'm doing cadence and glider drills, afterwards, I do repeats with 5x 800m runs at my target half-marathon pace, with a 3 minute walk or jog in between each. I need to eat properly, as I get away from a more healthy diet more times than not.
  • @rogersmith5371
    Lots of useful information in this video. I'd need to watch it a few times and make some notes to be able to plan my sessions.

    Thanks Ben, I'll give these a try. It's felt like forever since I ran a PB at a Parkrun. We have a PB bell to ring at my Parkrun and I'm forgetting what a bell even sounds like 😂
  • @cindylouwho88
    I'm training for a downhill marathon. Can I walk up and then run down the hill? (lol) Love the content, thanks for some new ideas :)
  • @thepaintedsock
    Great video. Just curious - as you mentioned a pace for each session, but you also said ' you will speed up as you go' So that wouldn't that then mean faster than the start pace?
  • @MR-wh5wp
    What training do you do the following day after a really hard 5k workout day?
