    I watched this video forever ago. It took exactly 2 years (started running 6/1/2017), but today I finished a 5K at 19:35. Great advice here and everywhere on your channel. Thanks.
  • @dillonbritt4767
    It took me five years to get there. First ever 5k was 38 minutes. Now I'm down to 19:19. I cannot stress enough how important those intervals were for me. Hopefully will hit the 18s sooner rather than later. Breaking 20:00 was very hard though.
  • @panagiotisvarelas2399
    I started running six months ago and my first 5k was around 32 minutes , now I can achieve easily sub 25 and my personal record is 23:32. Thanks to interval workouts I am doing better week by week. Cheers!!

    Damn I got my best time of 28:12, you'd have thought by the smile on my face that I'd just won the Olympics. Gonna take your tips on board, thanks
  • @Rphilipson
    Really wish I lived near a track to train on sometimes
  • @PauloDambacher
    Must be a pain for Americans to think pace in imperial and distances in metric ...
  • @brycesimom6195
    I started my 2019 XC season with a 26:35 and within two months of training I ended the season with a 21:10. Hoping to hit that under 20:00 minute next season.
  • @AJ42K
    I'm happy to get under 30 minutes. Under 20 would be phenomenal
  • @craigrfoley
    After years of walking everywhere decided to try running, bloody difficult, and doing couch to 5k. On week 3 now and running 3 minutes in a row which is huge for me at a pace of 5 flat, honestly such a good programme it seems as couldn't run 30 seconds before

    I’m 41 years old and 18 months back into running. After about 5 weeks running 3 times a week following a half marathon “improvers” training plan, Bam! There it was! I just went out and did it! 19.47. It was tough though! By far the toughest running challenge I have set myself!
  • @LadyGameLyric
    Happened across this exactly a year later. I prefer long distance races, but have been dabbling in 5Ks lately. This is very helpful!
  • @AndysTechTone
    A sub 20 minute 5K seems so far away right now, but it is something I'd love to achieve once...
  • @sebcrakpot1234
    Anyone doing 5K in under 20 minutes is a machine (or a teen), congratulations! My best all time is like 23:50 ... I'm not in my best shape right now but I'm around 26 minutes. I'm gonna train for this. I just did 1K in 4 minutes but after 5 minutes break I got second K in 4:20 ... just gonna try to get 2K in 8 minutes first.
  • @hillbilly067
    my god, if you are talking in kilometres for distance...please use kilometres for pace
  • @MavicAVF
    Did a 30:35 the first time ever, a day later 27:15, took a rest day, next day did it in 25:04, i’m aiming for 20 minutes at the end of the month
  • @MercyBeYou
    This is my ultimate goal (well 30 minutes for me) I've been blogging on my channel as motivation.
