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
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.
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 :)
my uncle is holding me back my uncle is jealous of me for being a good runner my name is tommy elliott an i run in bromley parkrun i just need to improve 10 seconds to get to 18;20 then finaly find some peace

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

What do you eat before running?
If its a 5km then I normally don't eat before hand
I love running on empty
How many days between the hill sprints and PB?
Im not 100% sure but I think about a week or so
