Some great truth bombs at the start. It's actually refreshing to see some truth on TH-cam. Consistency and improving my mental strength has benefited me quite a bit this year. I'm also targeting the sub 20 5k. I ran 21.56 in february and hit a plateu, so I started concentrating on a 10k I had coming and thought the 5k will take care of itself. I ran 44.54 and now I've joined a running club and going to do an all out effort at park run next Saturday.
Thank you Kevin, you're right to mention the mental side of things, I progressed once I built up a bit of confidence. If you keep training you will get your sub 20! Best of luck for your all out parkrun effort, I hope you'll get a new 5k PB!
Super running and great progress. I found intervals,progressions etc helped me a lot,but i found once i added skipping into my training i really made quick progress. Great video,all the best.
Great video, Chloe! Congratulations again on your amazing progress. I agree with everything in here and in this exact order. It's an excellent analysis and a great model for someone else to follow, no matter what goal time they're chasing. Btw I finally followed you on Strava. I don't know why I didn't do that long ago. (I'm "Magnus Edwards" over there. I enjoy making up names for social accounts.😄)
@@ChloeHamard I've had it happen before although it had been a while. At one point I copy/pasted every comment into a text file for safety before clicking Reply, but unfortunately I got out of that habit. Or maybe I made a mistake somehow. Thanks either way.
@@ChloeHamard Weird, it just happened again! There must be something that I put in both replies that TH-cam doesn't like. Anyway, you are correct that Eddie isn't my real name but it's fine to call me that and avoid (further) confusion.😁I tried to give a hint on where I use my real name and maybe that's what it's flagging. Not a secret but I'm happy to not use it too much online. Anyway thanks for the follow-back on Strava and all the best!
My 5k PB last year is 20:20, and I blame the parkrun coz it isn't flat. Now I can run 8*1K repeats at 3:55 for my intervals, I think I am really for sub 20. But I will train for 2-3 more weeks just to be sure before I try 5k on a track. On a windless, cool day preferably.
Great work Chloe. I think strength training and improving running efficiency is key like you mentioned. I think 18 min times are coming soon. How fast is Ben's 5K?
Great video, keep it up! I've been running for years and I never raced a 5k before. I recently did an interval session of 1k×9 at 3:33/km while resting for 3 to 4 minutes in between, so I'd like to know your recommendations about which pace should be a realistic target for my first 5k based on my current training? I'm planning to start at 3:45 pace and work it up towards 3:30 in the last km. For more insight about my training, I'm currently averging almost 300km per month for the last 5 months.
You seem to be running a lot! I'm not a qualified coach but if I was in your shoes I'd probably start at the pace you're thinking of to give myself the best chance of a strong finish. I'd also ensure to have fresh legs on race day so I'd slightly drop the volume in the days leading up to it
@@ChloeHamard Thank you for the advice, it's pretty helpful. In fact, I do slow down because I did some heavy weeks with more than a 120km then I let my body recover by reducing my weekly mileage to 60km per week. I started gradually by doing 200km in January and I kept increasing my monthly mileage based on how I felt, so I peaked between March and April by doing 434km in 29 days. I've been doing more speed and tempo sessions for the last 5 weeks to prepare my legs for a 5k.
Ok, very amusing, Chloe. Now give us the cheat codes 😂 You can't expect us to do all that work! Great tips. I think I'll be looking forward to some shorter stuff in the near future 🙂👍🏻

Huge congratulations on your amazing progress! I hope to reach those milestones one day! Currently achieving sub 35mins at back 2 back parkrun!
Thank you! Consistency can take you a long way
It is clear from this video that you have put in a lot of work to accomplish this goal! Well done!
Thank you! It's a goal I had been chasing for a while!

Thank you Seán! Skipping is very good cardio training!
Absolutely brilliant Chloe! It was only a matter of time before you achieved this and soon you will be catching me up 🏆
Thank you Donato! Hoping to get in the sub 19 club soon!
@@ChloeHamard i'm sure you will Chloe!
Great advice. Especially doing mobility and strength sessions to help prevent major injuries so that consistency of training is maintained.

How strange, I don't approve comments before they appear, and I've got nothing in the "held" list! I know it happened before, that's weird

I walk 35miles ave weekly, 70km on zwift, on level 7 on zwift . Great video thanks 😊
Very inspirational. Merci beaucoup! Kind regards, from England.
thank you for watching and good luck with your 5k training!
The more you train, the luckier you get with your race times, to paraphrase an old golfer.
You create your own luck indeed!
True 👍🏼
Love it, great video 😊
thank you!
Well done, you are smashing it. Getting stronger and quicker. Lot more to come over all distances.
How you getting on with the Metaspeed Sky?
Thank you! I love the metaspeed, really glad I got them!
@@ChloeHamard cool. Should be doing the Dulwich parkrun tomorrow if I make it on time lol
Great work Chloe. I think strength training and improving running efficiency is key like you mentioned. I think 18 min times are coming soon. How fast is Ben's 5K?
Thanks Richard! His PB is 14:58 for the 5k
@@ChloeHamard Wow, that is awesome. You are close to 800. I will help with my childrens channels

Thank you so much Olga, very kind!
Just smashed out a 18:57 PB yesterday, I’m 52. I’m now going back to comfortable 19 something 5ks.
That’s awesome!
Thanks for the excellent insightful tips
Glad you found the video helpful!
Brilliant. Inspirational too
Thank you for watching!

Great tips. I think I'll be looking forward to some shorter stuff in the near future 🙂👍🏻
My training fundamentals are groundbreaking I know 😂 Best of luck for Sunday Mark and I'm sure you'll fancy doing some short stuff after your ultra!
I want sub 20.. 20.58 at the moment.. hopefully this year! 😂 well done 👏
You'll get there! Thanks for watching :)
You can taste sub 20 👍🏼
Thanks 😊
Very nice video share my friend👌👍
I cant go near 25min :(
Keep running consistently and I can guarantee that you will improve your time!
Consistent training??? Can't believe it 😮😂
I know, groundbreaking! But sadly people get discouraged when they don't see progress straight away and forget about this key element
🤣🤣
Love the accent oh la la
Wait till you try sub 40 10k I'm about 40.27 so fucking annoying 😢
Haha I'm fully prepared to have to give it several go's when I get to that point. First let me try sub 41 lol
@@ChloeHamard if you're doing 19 min 5ks at the moment then now is the time Ure more than prepared well done on that 19.01 that's excellent
