What's your 5k goal?
-
I'm almost 55, been running for 2 years and was thrilled to hit the 29 minute mark this week. I honestly doubt I'll ever do it in 25 minutes but that's okay! I just want to run and feel healthy and free🌞
-
I be been stuck on 28:30 5k time for ages, i started doing cadence drills and interval training over the last few weeks and woke up this Saturday for park run feeling awful. I was so tired but I thought even if I walk it I can still cover the distance. Got to the start line and for some reason felt really strong! Ended up smashing my pb and running 26.05! 😳 couldn’t believe it!!
-
I’m 46 in August and today did my best 5k time at 23.39… I’m happy with that ✌🏾✌🏾
-
I'm 63 now, been running for ever but with gaps. Did a track 5k in my 20s in 19.59.8. But that was then 😁. Took up parkrun 4 years ago and am now down to 25.48 pb. That last 48s is going to be tough. One tip. Weight.
-
A couple of tips I was given (by my triathlon coach) when going for a 5k pb: Make sure you start in tge right place so you're not fighting your way through sliwer runners and (notwithstanding the advice not to go out too quickly) start off with about 1 minute faster than your race pace to build a time buffer, then throttle back to race pace.

I'm 43 years old and have never been a runner. I started to run 5 days ago and couldn't do but 1/4 mile and would be gasping for air. I kept running everyday since and was able to run nonstop for 3 miles in 28 minutes. I'm super excited to see how my body develops! Great video
-
Been running for 6-7 weeks and ive manage to decrease from 31mins 5 km to 25:55 5km in less than 4 weeks since i began doing 5ks. Obviously this is thanks to the great advice from your channel 👍
-
NEEDED THIS MAY GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
-
Motivation ! Thanks for the advices. My 1st 5km is in 3 days ! i did 29:45min on training day but never tried in competition setting, i usually do easy pace training. I wish to give my best and get as close as possible to 25 min! i've been running consistently for 2 months now.
-
I just got 24:25!! I’m so happy I’m going to 21mins next 5k
-
Started track (first ever sport) 3 months ago. I have probably only ran a couple full mile runs before that not to mention a 5k. However after a week or two I tried my first 5k. I had to walk quite a bit, but got like 33 minutes. Now I run 28 minutes and my goal is 25 by the summer. Wish me luck :)

I love the long runs. But a fast 5 km is also goed fun!! Goed video.
-
Got my new 5k pb of 24:46 on friday, down from my previous 26:44 pb! I knew i could improve my time by a lot since i've been doing tons of training since then. Tbh my expectation was to be able to hold a 4:45 pace for a final time of 23:15, but i realized that was a bit too ambitious after the first km.
-
A pacer actually helped me run a sub 5k. I normally run 27s and 28s. With a guy who ran an 8 minute mile, I was able to consistently keep pace with him and I was able to do 24:53. It wasn't without effort.
-
I'm 25 and just started running a few months back and recently hit 26:14 on an unplanned solo time trial. Time to include some intervals and hill runs to hit sub 25 by Christmas huhu!
-
I'm 57 and just started running about 2 years ago after walking during lockdowns. I just started running 5k's about 16 months ago and have since completed 18 5k's. I try to run 3 days a week just over 5k on a hilly course with miles in the 8:20-9:40 range. My first mile in races is usually in the 7:40 range, while my last mile drops almost a minute; even on flat courses. I'd love to stay consistent in the sub 8 minute range!
-
I struggled with 5:30 per km on my 8km training, tracked only by GPS on my mobile phone. I immediately achieved a Sub-5 on my training since I started using a proper GPS watch only due to proper tracking. :D

6 MONTHS ago i was 128kg 45 min 5km , today 110kg best is 27,06min lets see the next 6 months
