Great job and video! Some tips from a 15:49 runner: - increase your easy mileage. And when i say easy, i mean when you finish a run, you should not be tired at all. 80% of your volume should be easy pace - interval training, for example 8 x 400m with 2 minutes rest (slow jogging), the 400 faster than 5k pace. Once a week - long slow run once a week, but no more than 30% of weekly mileage. So if, like yourself, you run 35k a week, your long run would ideally be 11k. Hope this helps you out, those sub 20:00 times are not as far away as they may seem ;)
@@AlexBairstow Are you still running now? Or do you still hate it and have given up? It seemed you did so well it would be a shame to stop, maybe just have more rest days and easy runs.
Alex, mate Hello from Amsterdam. What a tremendous achievement and story. Truely happy for you. I completed myself a 30day running challenge and can attest to all you have said. Keep going 🙏🏃♂️
I’m really impressed how you could run 5k on your first day. I’ve been pretty inactive for past 5 years. The only exercise I’d get was climbing 18 steps to my apartment. So when I started running few weeks ago I couldn’t even run 400m without gassing out and huffing puffing with my hand on my knees. Yesterday I ran 5.78Kms without a stop in 30 minutes. Now the target is 10k. After that I will work on my pace and get Sub 20 5k On or Before 31st Dec. I know that’s very optimistic but I’m like that. If I don’t set goals, I’ll get bored and quit. So wish me luck.
@@heatblaste9625 I posted it 1 month ago. And I still have 3 months to go. My current PR is now 24.52. I think I can do sub 20 5k. I mean I hope I do. Btw marathon runners complete their 5k in 15 min. If I can get to that. 🤣 🤣 I should consider competing in Olympics. 😂😂
@@ashwiniprafulla6506 i mean if you can reach sub 20 in 2-3 months you have the potential to become an olympic athlete. Other people need years to reach that time and maybe never. Olympics complete it 14 min and under
@@heatblaste9625 My younger brother already does sub 20 5k. But to shed another 6 minutes after that is tough. I used to play football a lot. Been inactive for 2 year or so. I didn't count my time back then. But I have always been fast. It's just that my cardio is shit now.
Well done Alex. I enjoyed your struggle at running every day. I've recently started running again after a few years, and it's killing me. All the best for the future.
Well done Alex, I am currently doing this challenge for January, You have done well for a none runner. Even as a runner I still have the same issues you mentioned in the first 8 days. The cold isn’t helping either. Great video👏🏻 21.37 is my PB, still chasing that sub 20 however, due to injuries I have gone backwards and averaging 24 minutes.
I'm a shocking runner all round to be honest! I love going to the gym but my endurance never seems to improve... I'm struggling immediately and it's only my mindset that keeps me going! Kudos to you though, doing that every day is hard enough, but sub 25mins is epic, especially if you're not a 'runner' as they say! Keep it up, I love these sort of challenges :)
I run quite frequently (6 miles/10k) about 5-6 days a week and those rest days are very important. Also form is essential to improving time and preventing injuries. Super proud of the effort!!
Good job on the running challenge mate. I just found your channel and I've subscribed, you're a great filmmaker and a bit inspiring. My 5k pb is 25:21 and I'll try to run 5k+ for the next 30 days.
Great video! I’m a high school junior and my PB was 19:37 in sophomore year. This year I have been consistently running 20mins flat but I think ill break 20 again soon because I’m actually training hard now.
My first time running was 2 months ago, managed to get 37:20 for my first 5K with my PB currently been 31:05, hoping to hit that 30:00 within next few months.
I dont think once a week is enough, 2/3 times though is perfect for health and recovery it really is something you could do all your life run every other day.
I hope you kept running, twice weekly should be your minimum to maintain your fitness though. You did so well on your 30 day challenge and learned a lot. Well done ✅
My fastest time recorded is 26:10 but that was 5 years ago and now I have a much higher level of fitness. If I can make a recommendation it would be to not run the same distance each day. If you run for 4 days in a week run 1 day really slowly, but a longer distance (10k?), then a short day but fast (1k rest then 1k), then a relaxed short run (3k?) and then go all out on your 5k
Heyy greetings from Switzerland. I don't know what's worse, to run there where u live or here ^^ - 6 C° is the warmest it gets tomorrow and I don't even live in the mountains.. 😅 Keep up buddy, sorry for any faults English isn't my first language 🙃
Last summer I was running in exactly those temperatures and I learned that even longs runs are possible if you take water and don't overdo it. Although everyone was looking at me like I was completely insane xD Currently the min/max temperatures are -3/+3°C here in Germany. TBH it's way more difficult to find the optimal clothing layers so that you don't start sweating or/and cooling down, especially when it's raining. In that regard it's easier to run in the sun :P
Try running in below zero degrees. That's not fun either. But over 30 degrees is probably more difficult for your body. For me, the best temperature is around 15-18 degrees. Keep on running :)
I feel you. My shins were bad. Maybe look at the way you run? I was over striding at first which was why I doing times of like 35mins+, Keep going dude!
im abit ticked off that you thiink so little of yourself but bust out a sub30 min 5k as if its nothing, aiming for a time i cat yet even dream about damn good job but please realise that theres lots of ppl out here proud of their 45ers.
It’s all about your own context. I set myself a high bar. Obviously I understand there is people who can’t even do 45 but the story was to better yourself 🙂 hopefully you can too
I started runnin in february 2020, my pb was 37:50 something, by july 2020 i got my pb off 22:25, still havet got under sub 20, doing HIIT training now to get under sub20. Im 35, and never did love running, now i need to do it 2-3 time’s a week. Lost 22 pounds during running
it is a good challenge. But it is not the best way to improve. (it may be the worst). With a proper plan of running everyday for 30days you could have run much faster
@@Wesz808 still unhealthy if starting from zero. also not enough rest days isn't really good. I think the best thing one can do is implementing training in their routine gradually.
@@AlexBairstow Wow you were very fit from the start then. What kind of exercise were you doing before? I can barely run 1/4 mile before getting completely out of breath.
I agree! I’d be skeptics also! But, I’m more than happy to send you a screen shot of the MapMyRun app with every time and distance to back up my claims! :)
@@AlexBairstow I don't really mind if it's true or not so i don't really need 'evidence'. Just if you want to do another vid like this it won't be a bad idea to add some more proof like data from a certain run or something like that. keep runnin' mate
Sitting on your a$$ is nothing. Getting out and trying to do better for yourself is everything. Good job calling yourself "the dream giver", really, congratulations. Now take that smug tone and go figure out why you need to condescend to others on the internet. Alex Bairstow don't listen to this clown, what you did was a feat of strength and determination, certainly not "nothing".
Not as much as you'd think. My legs defo got stronger with some muscle mass but my waist did get the thinner. If I'd of prioritised my diet more than I did I bet I'd of lost loads
Good job mate !! hahaha . Australia here, just getting back into it... and its bloody summer !! Best 5km's were 22 ish, currently on the 25 mark. but yeh its hot. 30c average when im running. There is guys passing me ....
Like sub 30min for 5k would be unfit... 🤣 I am sorry but I had to stop watching after that announcement. When I did start to jog I had over 45min for it. 😘👌
Last year I was starting to really see improvement,I am 53 yes and was down to 25 mins 3 miles ,did 12 miles 1 hr 52 comfortably,but then injury ,back now but am trying to mix my training up ,hopefully get back to my best ,I am genuinely amazed I manage to get there in the first place
Really interesting video, especially as I'm trying to do something similar. Did you notice much difference in your body weight? did your eating habits improve? Did my 5k PB last week at 23.12 so was chuffed with that but it was on a flat track which makes a massive difference. Think I would struggle to run 5k in under 25 mins with steep inclines.
I have never run 5k before just Started my first run at 32.25min after almost 3 weeks later did my personal best so far at 25.85min. doing runs twice a week giving ample recovery time.. but planning for at least 3 runs a week hopefully if fitness holds in good stead..
I just did couch to 5k with no running experience. My first official 5k I recorded on Strava was 27:36!! Im super happy with this considering my experience and will aim for sub 25min within the next couple of weeks :)
Well done! My 5km PB is 18:09 but I could never imagine knocking almost 5mins off my time in 30 days. Very impressive improvement 👍 Good quality video too. Keep it up and 500 subs will come round in no time!
Well in mate this is class!! I have just started a 365 challenge where I have to run a minimum of 3km everyday for a whole year, if anyone wants to follow my journey, i'm doing an Instagram blog... instagram.com/runningman.365/
Hey man! It almost sounds like you might have Chronic Exertional Syndrome (like me)! It’s exercise induced and causes tightness and pain in your calves and foot numbness. Depending on my running fitness my feet go numb around the same time during my run and then they come back and I’m usually able to finish my run without them going numb again. I currently have PFS (a type of runners knee) most likely stemming from a random half-marathon I did without much prep work. So I’m waiting to try a chiropractor and see if that works (I obviously wouldn’t be able to see if it works until I can run again) but the other option is surgery which I want to avoid. Go see a doctor though if you continue to have tightness/pain in your calves and foot numbness! Anyways have fun with running and be safe!
I'm similar level of fitness and I completed the challenge of 30k x 30day mountain bike rides (off road). The hardest bit was finding the time each day. Think i need to have a go at this challenge
Congratulations. I.m watching this in Calgary, Alberta Canada. But I’m from Rothwell, Leeds. I have to ask, where abouts are you running (I assume somewhere in Leeds?).
Wasn't expecting This Quality from a channel with less than 100 subs, Awesome content, definitely underrated

So I’m waiting to try a chiropractor and see if that works (I obviously wouldn’t be able to see if it works until I can run again) but the other option is surgery which I want to avoid. Go see a doctor though if you continue to have tightness/pain in your calves and foot numbness! Anyways have fun with running and be safe!
Hi Alex, keep up the good work. Is that the M62 flyover I saw you running over?
Do you mean Manchester????? I'm from India and I've been to Manchester. I thought it was M62 as well. I've seen this route.
I'm similar level of fitness and I completed the challenge of 30k x 30day mountain bike rides (off road). The hardest bit was finding the time each day. Think i need to have a go at this challenge
U need rest days
running is addictive , u say u hate it but somehow u cant break up with it
Congratulations. I.m watching this in Calgary, Alberta Canada. But I’m from Rothwell, Leeds. I have to ask, where abouts are you running (I assume somewhere in Leeds?).
