    I’m at around 19:50 for a 5k time and I really do believe that a sub 19 is within reach.
    I just started doing similar things as you had in the video so I’m confident that I’ll crack 19 in the future!
    Thanks for the video

      @ my best 5k is around 18:35. It took me awhile but I had a breakthrough eventually

    Thanks for the video. I'm now 47 years old and new to running. I just spent 5 months trying to break 20 minutes (my BP was 20:33 when I started training for it) and eventually got there 4 weeks ago but I had to do a serious amount of training compared to you. Was averaging 50km per week including a 15 km long run to eventually break the barrier. I'm still making marginal gains and ran 19:35 last Saturday so I'm now dreaming about breaking 19 minutes hence why I'm here. I reckon if you upped your mileage and stayed injury free that running close to 17 minutes is a realistic prospect for you.

      good work, yes I think there is potential to go faster but I generally can't stay injury free fro too long. It is a shame, however I cam super proud of the times I achieved last summer. Maybe won't be that fast again who knows

    Hi Sam I just came across this vid and found it really interesting (appreciate it's from a year ago though)... I find myself in a very similar position - targeting a sub 19 5km (aim is to beat my 12+ year old PB of 18:55) currently at around 20 mins, I also find that whatever I do, I always seem to pick up knee (or foot) niggles whenever I increase my run distance, and I also enjoy cycling/zwift etc. Interested to see what kind of running/cycling mileage you achieved your PB off the back of, so will give you a follow on strava - hope that's OK! Are you still keeping up the running / planning any more youtube content? Cheers, Graham.

    Looking at your stats and experience you could do sub 17 I reckon. Your young and clearly learning fast. Good luck.

      Hopefully one day. I recently ran a 18.39 and I’m feeling fit so a few more weeks of structured training will see how it goes. Definitely not sub 17 yet though. Thanks for watching :)

    What do you eat before running?

    • @SamStewart1

      If its a 5km then I normally don't eat before hand
      I love running on empty
