How Do You Train For a Sub 45 Minute 10k?

Are you working towards a running personal best at the moment? Got any questions for Sarah? Let us know in the comments!

Go Sarah! Last week I PR’d my 10k. In January my time was 51 min and I now set a new PB of 49:26!

I'm currently chasing sub 50 min 10k. All the best for your goal, Sarah

I ran my PB half last Saturday, 1:56:12, I managed to knock 16 minutes off my time. I’m giving myself a year and shooting for knocking another 16 minutes off my time and hoping to run a sub 1:40 half at the same race next year. I am adding a year of weight training to my program with the new PR goal in mind and wanting to start running trails/full marathons

I started training over the last 6 months and have made some pretty good improvements on my times, watching you guys definitely helped me along the way. Got my 5k from 22:29 to 19:46, my 1 mile from 6:35 to 5:29 (finally broke 5:30 yesterday) and what im most proud of is my half marathon from 2:03:16 to 1:39:40 :)

My current PB is 41.05, I hope I can go sub 40 this year, I remember running sub 45 a couple a years ago I was so happy, its a huge mile stone. Good tips in this video !!!!

Love this channel! All the best for the sub-45, Sarah! You’ve done some brilliant, tough sessions, and have given yourself every chance of success. I always found ks 7 & 8 tough, so pressed as hard as possible to avoid a dip. I had to give up racing last year after meniscus damage: was still getting sub 50 mins at age 76. Bitter/sweet following The Running Channel!

I’ve loved seeing Sarah progress as a runner over the years! Keep it up! I’m sure you’ll smash it 😊

I wish you all the best for your time trial in a few days! It’s so inspiring and motivating to see you training for this. You will smash it, I’m sure 🥳

I completed my first sub 45 min 10k in June at the Mens 10k in Glasgow! Managed a time of 41:31 which I was absolutely buzzing at! Training for a sub 20 min 5k at the end of this month! 🏃🏻‍

Sarah is starting to look more and more like a professional athlete now. She looks so strong when she runs. I think she'll easily break 45 minutes for the 10k and will soon be sub 40 and beyond!

I'm so impressed. I've been jogging for 6 months, after never being a runner. I've had to go slow, as my body have had to adjust to the load and movement. It's been slow and I was able to run 5 km without stopping on my 37th birthday, at 40 min. I'm still more proud of my self for continuing, despite set backs, than the distance. Anyways, Sarah is taking about running twice the distance at nearly the same speed I run 5k, which is just incredible! Good luck, I'll just keep on trying to make 5k an 'easy' distance.

10 years ago this weekend, Andrew ran the parkrun world record - bit of motivation for you 😳

You've put in the hard work, you're going to do great! Can't wait to see you crush it! Victory lap 😀

The tips from Jess were spot on 👍🏻 Good luck Sarah, I'm sure you'll smash sub 45!

Well done ! Also the quality of the video is great, perfectly structured, I really like it. Go for it Sarah!

Love your channel , it's changed my life . 58 year old , lifetime martial artist, 10 years powerlifting so went from 80kg to 96.... Mmmm foooood. Now keto, running as it's the only thing that helps the back pain. 80 kilos once more and run 1 hour for giggles. Half marathon fun sesh last week 2.5 hours.... Got an ultra later this year .

3 Weeks away from sub 2 HR HM attempt at Big Half. Ran a 48:49 PB 10K 3 weeks ago. Following a running plan and joining a running club have made such a difference. Good luck Sarah will be there to cheer you on the 24th 🥳

I am right now trying to beat 60 minutes for 10k. I started running around 3 and a half months ago and you guys are the best company!

These training series are always great fun to watch. Best of luck for the big day Sarah!
