Did my first 20 minute 5K yesterday. On a road bike.
-
This is my 'dream' pace, and you're running it while having a nice chat along the way. Well done Andy.
-
Just did my first ever 5k under 30 minutes (PB 29:58 😊) yesterday and this motivated me to go push myself even furthe
-
3.35 min/km he's running at the start but advises mekons like us not to "start off too fast". BEAST!
-
You look so casual and relaxed at this pace, almost like you're gliding. Whenever I try running <4:00/km I feel like I'm absolutely sprinting.
-
I can't believe that cow flipped me off at 1:47 fuming
-
Today, by sheer coincidence, I just did a "Sprint" Garmin daily suggested workout where the target pace for 10 seconds was 3:40/km , which is basically the pace that you casually (as you kept talking) maintained for nearly 19 minutes. Videos like this are both (mostly) motivating and slightly depressing at the same time!
-
Took this advice this morning and got my 19:57 at parkrun this morning 3 second PB sub 20 big shout out to Andy!
-
Completed my first sub-20 ParkRun on Saturday at Holyrood. Didn’t expect it but things just fell in to place and felt amazing as I went round. Delighted
-
I'm always amazed at how effortless faster runners blow by me when I was racing 5Ks, and 10Ks. You made that 18:36 seem so easy chatting the whole time. Unreal!🔥
-
Andy you make it look so easy! Impressive pace and heart rate considering you were talking too!
-
This is the most practical and useful running video I have ever seen - thanks for posting. I'm turning 56 in a week and have a 21:05 as my best 5k time to date. I have just started a structured run block and am working on strength in the gym 2x per week. Hopefully I can get under 20 minutes before age catches up with me!
-
Andy you're such a GOAT, at 3:30/km and you're having a breezy conversation is surely an advanced fitness level, we need a video on this please because I struggle to lower my heart rate below 170 even while giving a 6-7 effort
-
The frontal view makes the tempo look so slow! But, it is impressive that you can talk so smoothly at that pace. When I did a sub 20 5k, I remember how painful it was after 3k and that the last 200 meters were pure torture.
-
Big thank you for this, Andy. I’ve been chasing a sub 20 for four years and finally bagged it at a race last night. Watching this was a massive help and I’m super excited to see where I can get to now! 🎉
-
Running my first 10K race tomorrow! This is incredibly helpful :)
-
He runs it at a pace I could never achieve but makes it look like my running pace! How does he make look so easy!??!
-
My heart rate goes to 150+ bpm after like thirty seconds of running at any pace even close to this. Even when I'm at my fittest!! Granted I do have asthma which I have to push through and that certainly adds to my heart rate, but needless to say Andy is so impressive not only being able to run this fast for an extended time with his heart rate in this zone, but also talk coherently while doing it!
-
That is an excellent "tutorial" on how to progress oneself through the 5K. Practical, relevant, meaningful and relatable, thank you. Not just the typical statement you can see on the internet of you need to do 4 mins per km to achieve sub 20... You make it look so so easy 😃
-
This is really great content. I have a 5k time trial coming up and the tips here are super helpful as is really observing the physical effort, breath and HR.
