    I tend never to ask for a like in the video, but some say it helps the video. So, if there’s one thing you’d like to do in return, it would be that. Mainly though, thank you for showing up when I publish my work.
    Go for that run.

      How do you run a sub 21 5k

      Hi Harry, first off, absolutely love the channel, I’m primarily a footballer but run to keep fit and your videos really inspire me to do that. Not to mention how entertaining and funny they are.
      Just wanted to write a comment and let you know about a really talented and young runner I came across on TH-cam the other week. Her name is @isabellesparkle and she is unbelievable for her age. Thought it might be cool for you guys to do a collab some time.
      Anyway, thanks for always putting out brilliant content Harry!

      @@RhysRuns Judging on your question I suppose you are close to it. What I did to lower my pb was to allow myself to run hard in some runs. I imagined I had a mid week parkrun and I gave it all. 1-2 times every week I tried to push a bit extra and try stuff. Don’t do it too often though because if you are not recovering then you can’t get the extra push you want. Also Harry had a vid on warmup before running a 5K and without that info I wouldn’t have made it to sub 20 and now chasing sub 19 with a 19:05 as pb. Good luck

    Hey Harry! Been struggling with "life" recently however discovering your channel and watching your videos has brought me some respite in a difficult time, thank you. I also started running in February and have since set two PB's in the 5k and 10K with my aim to run a sub 50 mins 10k very soon! :)

    Living in FL I'm very familiar with running in the sand, been doing it my whole life. Fortunately we don't have the rocks, so you can run barefoot if that's your thing. Good training though, and certainly makes running on tarmac seem much easier. Congrats to Harley and the rest of the Jog On crew for a great run.

    I like to think our local Parkrun (North Bay, Ontario, Canada) can be both the fastest in the world and toughest in the world. In late spring through early fall the course is a fairly straight, paved, out and back with minimal elevation (speed!!!). In January it may have 20cm or more fluffy snow on it though and we have done a few below -20 Celsius days (slow, and frozen eyelashes!!!).
    I hope to do some Parkrun tourism as our kids start leaving the nest and we’ve got a bit more flexibility.
