    Also great to see someone running the full 5k on the track, rather than just using their watch GPS!

      Unfortunately not everyone has a track nearby, let alone a track that is open to the public.

    Mary hitting sub 20 with that ultra stride is spectacular. Hope it sunk in for her that she is quite fast. Motivates me to get out and see if I can finally nab a sub 20!

    Well done Mary. Awesome pacing and great mental strategy to focus also to tell Ben to ‘move away’. I’m aiming to go sub 22 this year which I think is quite OK for a 56 yr old woman. I have run 18:34 in the past although I was way younger when I did that.

    • @PoetWithPace
      @PoetWithPace 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is brilliant Helen. Age is just a number and you can run that time! I'm recently running 18:17 and i'm in my late 50's....hopefully i can get quicker so will reveal more on my youtube channel :-)

    • @ThisMessyHappy

    Just stumbled upon this channel, very motivating. I remember my first sub 20 at Christies Beach parkrun, South Australia, where I did a 19:45. Like you it didn't sink in for a while and I used to wonder if a sub 20 was even something I was capable of. Whilst not elite level, it is certainly a great time for 99% of runners out there. I like all sorts of running and I find going for a fast 5K makes me more nervous than say a half marathon as in a longer run you can ease into it and not be gasping for air like you have to if you go for a 5K personal best. A half marathon is much more comfortable run, despite the length from my point of view/experience.

    • @ThisMessyHappy

    Best way to end Easter Sunday! Mary is a beast and I couldn’t be more pumped watching this. I’m trying low Hr training lately and I managed to finally run below 6 mins per km on my 17km run yesterday maintaining an average HR of 145bpm and in order to achieve this I used the holding the Pringle technique I learnt from you guys! Awesome content as always and can’t wait to see more PBs coming in the future.

    Fantastic time Mary! Well done! 💪. Putting that into perspective, Beth Potter just smashed a PB of 14:41 at 5k, which is a world record time. Mary’s achievement is fantastic as that’s not far off 14:41..in my mind anyway! Beth Potter ran in the new ASICS metaspeed Sky’s..bin the Nikes Mary! 😉

    I'd love to see Mary in an organised 5K race for comparison, regardless of time. Personally, I kind of hate races. Time Trials are my jam.
