THIS Is What A Sub 40 Minute 10k Looks Like

What is your current 10k goal?

I get the feeling that sub-40 is only remotely achievable for a tiny tiny portion of TRC audience, and everybody just wanted to mess with andy

Would love to see Andy run a sub 3 hour marathon, that’s next on my list 👍

I ran my 1st ever 10k race last weekend in 1:10:16 it was only the 2nd time I've ever attempted it 😂 it was a massive achievement for me. I'd love to get it below sub 50 mins, that is my goal

What always amazes me about Andy's relaxed running form is how easy he makes it look. Testament to his fitness level.

In my absolute prime, I did 38:50 and puked at the end! Blows me away how anyone can chat away at this speed. Incredible. One day I aim to get a sub 50 without dying now I'm old. Well done Andy

Might be in the minority, but I would legit watch Andy run a marathon from start to finish. Fascinating.

Andy, you never cease to amaze us with your amazing energy, your positive attitude, your absolute passion for the sport, your handling of team mates comments ( ;-) ), your dedication to help non-professional runners, as viewers of TRC. You remain a Champion and a Winner to us! The TRC would not be the same without your inputs and motivation. A Big Thank You.

Thanks Andy! So many running You Tube channels talk about “what you SHOULD do”, “what you SHOULD be thinking about”…but rarely do you see it (and hear it) so graphically put into practice! It’s rather comforting to see that a former professional goes through the same mental and physical challenges as me, albeit at either end of the success scale.

Andy please can you show us what a sub 13:45 5k looks like next 🤣

Achieving this twice is one of my biggest running achievements so far (39:42 and 39:15). Next short term goal is sub 39 min and long term sub 35.

Well done Andy 👏. Amazing how easy you actually make the pace look. Just appears you're literally jogging!

Thanks Andy. I recently ran 42 something on an admittedly easier, slightly net downhill course but I still blew myself away as I only dared to hope for sub 45. I remember how proud I was of myself when I first broke 50 minutes. The idea of running under 40 seemed daunting at first because of how much effort and discomfort sub 50 felt. But I realized that obviously that goal seems lofty when you don't have the training to do it. Now that I do , I know that I have a 39:59 in me. That's all I want. 39:59. I'm not even trying to be a middle distance runner. I want to run ultras. But I really want a sub 40min 10k on my list of achievements.

What I love about this, is that the struggle is real for everyone. I always thought I was the only one suffering !!!!!

It was inspiring to see Andy go through the same phases then when I am running 10k however the pace is very different!!:) Thank you and Well Done!!

Race day tomorow. I’m a 16 year old boy. I’ve never broken a sub 40 min 10 km. But tomorow I’m ready to give it all.

Really excellent video. I would happily have watched this unedited - it really gets across the reality of a longer run like this.

This was a very inspirational video for me. My PB for a 10k is 58 minutes and I was totally spent after that, but I feel inspired now to push it a little bit more and see what I can do, if I can get a sub 50 that would be awesome but it will take some considerable effort and a week off work after 🤣😂🤣

Well done Andy! I am aiming for sub 39 mins (maybe sub 38:30 if it's a good day) at the start of August. The same race last year was just under 48 minutes; heat with hills. How you can finish and focus entirely on the video content, as opposed to how you feel about the run you just did, is next level professionalism :) A challenge you may find tricky: how long can you all run in zone 1 for without going in to zone 2? 🧡

I heard him say knees weak, arms are heavy. And I said mom's spaghetti out loud... honestly this is huge for me because part of my 1:27half training calla for a sub 40 10K and I'm honestly scared to death. But at least I can see what it takes. You are awsome Andy, sub 3 marathon would be in the cards easy. Especially if you're talking the whole way🤣
