Running A Sub 45 Minute 10k

Are you training for a personal best? What time do you think Sarah can run? Let us know in the comments!

These kinds of things are great. Watching someone, not just the highest level athletes, challenge their limits and see what they are capable of on the day. Brilliant! It's scary, exciting, nerve-wracking, thrilling, everything! Way to push your boundaries, you're on your way to your goals! Keep your eyes forward, mastery is a life long ambition. You have many years of growth and improvement ahead of you. Never know how far you will go unless you try.

Sarah has inspired me a lot as an average runner. Running my first 5k tomorrow and my goals are to finish the race in 30 min or 45 min or just finish it without walking. Thank you Running Channel for all your videos! Edit: Did it at 43min! Didn't expect the elevations in some parts of the route. I learned a lot more about what my body is capable of. I'll incorporate more hills and strength training next time so that I can improve my endurance. 😊

In the last few months I have brought my pb down from 57 to 48.31.. now videos like this inspire us... where people like us...who are not athletes as such..push for their best and get there...thanks team TRC. Kudos Sarah

I actually felt a bit emotional watching this! It’s amazing how far Sarah has come since she first joined TRC, watching her do her first marathon, ultra and now an incredible 10k pb!! Well done x

Inspirational Sarah 🎉 Knocking nearly 3 minutes off your previous PB is insane ❤ Well done 👏 ❤

Could see Sarah was gutted not to break the 45 minute barrier but that was a bloody good effort! And an an amazing chunk off her old PB in conditions that looked far from optimal. Sport can give us highs and lows, it's never linear but personally, when I miss out on a certain goal I'd planned to achieve, it makes me more determined to go better the next time, you have plenty of time to reach that goal, very inspirational!! Well done Sarah

Commenting on an old video here but I got freaking goosebumps watching this. Missing out by 12 seconds is nothing, like 1 second per K, which means that you where almost perfectly on pace which is a hard thing to do. Really impressive and inspiring!

Well done Sarah, that's a huge new PB! I'm always impressed by how this channel is open about not meeting goals, and how it frames it in a positive way rather than as a failure. You'll get that sub-45 another day.

Half a second per lap! It's so happening very soon. Well done Sarah and thanks to all at TRC for a fabulous evening.

The running channel has inspired me so much. 9 months back I had my 1st baby & after a month or so of delivery I was not able to walk and had to start physical therapy. I was in the worst physical shape of my life! Watching your videos and the encouragement from my husband I started running again. Next weekend on the 2nd of Oct I’m running my first 10 mile race 🤗 I’m excited & nervous at the same time, I know I am capable of finishing the race. Running has helped me feel like myself ❤

We fell in love with Anna and Sarah has now captured our hearts as well. Good job and well done!

Amazing effort! You totally have it. I'm still after a sub-25 5k. I've failed many attempts but I've been, very slowly, chipping away at the time. Hugely motivated by your work Sarah.

Well done! I’m 56, 45 minutes has been my goal for the last 2 years, but life just keeps getting in the way. Current PB is just about 50 minutes, but more realistically run around 52-55 minutes. Mad props to you Sarah! Thank you for the tips.

Amazing! Well done Sarah! 🎉 Just think, that's 1.5 seconds per km you were out by. That's so achievable! I ran a 20:04 5k and beat myself up that it wasn't sub 20 but then that's just 1 second per km and I did shave 3:30 off my PB! You've done so well, I am truly inspired. Now, if I was fitting multiple injuries I would be pushing for more PB's

I always thought you were either a good runner or you aren't. Watching Sarah's journey along the videos has been so inspiring, currently working on getting my own 10k under an hour, and staying consistent with my runs! 🥰

10K on the track is both mentally & physically tough, that was a fantastic effort Sarah & it's only a matter of time for that sub 45!!

Well done! This really makes me want to do 10k training again - that was an astonishing improvement in just 12 weeks!

Congratulations Sarah! 45 minutes and 12 seconds is still an amazing achievement. Kudos!👏👏👏

What an inspiring video and well done Sarah. It was so hot that day, so I knew and predicted it would be hard to go sub 45, but you really did great and I am sure with better conditions you would have gone sub 45. I have no doubt you will break that barrier soon. I am training for sub 40 minutes after 4 years of close to no running. My PB, before I stopped running was 36 low, but I have gotten older, so I need some extra effort to get back in shape. I started running again 3,5 months back and after starting slowly am now at 4 times a week and 50km/week. This video gave me inspiration for my sub 19:30 minutes attempt in 2 weeks and sub 40 minutes attempt in 3 weeks time.
