I was so close to sub 20 recently. Got it down to 20:01 before losing motivation for a couple of months. Really need to get back on it!
Running Mantra: More energy! more energy! More footwork! more footwork!
Do you think porridge is a good thing to have before a race? Also how long before a run should you fuel?
I loved that video 🎉 I doing all of those 🎉🎉
Just run faster
I love 5k run my pb is 18:57 🎉❤
If you're running a 5k, in the morning, I wouldn't eat at all, until after it. Nothing better than that light stomach feeling and no gastro issues. Plus you run faster in anticipation of breakfast when you get home 😂
cant be a coincedence all those cheating topics 😉
Sarah's 5k time is hugely impressive, even though she doesn't look like she has speed, a 21 minute 5k is really good. With all the running I do, and all my visible muscle, people would probably expect me to be faster than her but I'd be coming in more than a couple of minutes behind her if I was pushing myself… I really need to do more high-speed training, all the constant easy runs just enable me to keep going and going and going, but not get any faster.
Thank you!
“Just keep swimming…”
BEETROOT JUICE, 500 ml 2.5 hours before the race gave me a PB (and red coloured urine) each time I tried. Fake SMILE like Eliud does, it works beat the pain. Love HILLREPS – "speedwork in disguise." Uphill for a lovely improves kneelift/running form, downhill for faster than usual leg turnover. "I can do hard things. I can do hard things. I can do hard things…" DON'T EVER use "NSAID" painkillers like Ibuprofen before a race preemptively, google it, it can cause severe *kidney*, cardiac and gastrointestinale issues. Don't be that fool. You can do hard things.
How come Kate wasn’t on the cheating episode? 😂
From 96kg and unable to finish 5km run😅 to 35+ to 30 and now 25:12. Thats 6 months of running with atleast 4 injuries😅
how to run faster marathon without cheating? well, don't ask kate carter
I love this woman.
5k sounds so easy and doable, until you realise what people mean by it is run it as fast as possible, sometimes in under 20… I need probably about 35 minutes and I am actually proud that I can do that.
I find the 3-4km stretch is the worst part of a 5k!
My mantra–"Crazy arms!" And I start really pumping my arms to make my legs move. The 5k doesn't get enough respect. It's my favorite distance because you can be competitive no matter the pace.
Did my first 5k on Saturday and got 28:35, for a lazy 53yo who was on W6R3 of c25k and could barely do a minute 6 weeks ago. So today I set myself 8x400m intervals and got them all under 5min/km pace……….my stretch target is a 25min 5k in a few months, just working out how to get there whilst staying injury free. Don’t run before I can walk……..I think. 🤔🤣
I'm 50 and new to running. I run on the treadmill primarily. Hiit interval runs. Ran my first 5k recently. Help me with shoe suggestions. Thanks
Would you run hills and do intervals once a week ?
36 mintue 5k
