1 year in running is nothing. It's just the first grade.

I commented on your last video saying that I was trying to do the same thing - I went out and tried this morning and got 30:19 so close but yet so far! Going to try again at a park run in a couple of weeks feel like it might be easier with other people around me!

Great video. Really feel that. 👏👏👏

I wore a running vest for a 3 kilometer run. I need water and I don’t want to hold it.

i've run 4 marathons using Jeff Galloway's Run/Walk -- my last marathon was the Donna Foundation marathon in Jacksonville Beach, FL. Finished in 5:22:45 that was a PB for me. Thank you for the video.

Congrats, Emily! Great run! You are definetely inspiring!

A PB is still a PB, well done! Why not do this at a paced parkrun? My local club does this once a month, there might be one local to you. Having a pacer really makes a difference as does running people around you. Your run-walk approach has really inspired my wife to use that training for a 10k and half (MCR in October) using Runna.

Huge congrats on the new PB! That's so great! 🥰 For me, working on increasing my cadence was the key to getting faster and waste less energy.

Congrats! I highly recommend checking out a parkrun some time. As a new runner it got me more motivated than anything. They are so friendly and encouraging. Getting your cheer as a first timer is amazing. I am faaaaaar far from an expert but I did just manage a sub 30 and it's all about pacing hey. You are faster if you run at a pace you can keep up then if you go too fast and have to stop.

Well done, Emily!

Good on you!! Can I encourage you to go to a parkrun or a run club sometime soon? There is something about running with others that is so wonderful and encouraging. Doing intervals with others is the only way I can get through it. I wonder if there is a run club close to you that would do them? Keep going friend, love your passion for the process of running.

Courageous, inspirational. I so know how you feel with the pain & discomfort.

You should definitly consider buying either a belt to carry your cellphone or get something like a garmin watch to track you course and get turn by turn notifications. It may sound stupid but you'll feel better not running with a massive phone in your hands while trying to beat a pb when your HR is at 165 :P

i ran 27 at some point when I got into 5ks early this year, and for the life of me can't seem to be able to replicate/beat it yet. That's how I know that I did a possibly shite job and strained myself. Congrats on the new PB!!

Have you thought of knitting?

My current goal is sub-35. My PB is just over 36.

5k is my warm up run before my other runs 😂

Do it for the slow runners ❤

Well Done on your PB. Speed will come eventually just keep chipping away you’ll get there.

Love this, ngl it made me kinda emotional 😵‍💫 I’m also a slow runner, and it’s frustrating seeing running content where it’s all people who can run marathons at 4:30 pace. It makes me feel so insecure but in reality I’m not an influencer who has hours a day for running training. I also don’t want to sacrifice my weight training for running, and can’t overtraining. Last year I was running around 20k a week, at least one 10-25km run, and my 5k PB was 30:23, purely because I had more time to get more mileage so 5k relatively felt easier. Now circumstances and job have changed, and I can maybe do 12-15km per week and none of those runs have been longer than 8k as I don’t have much time. I went for a 5k PB last week and got 32:39, was so upset with myself. This video was exactly what I needed 💕 My resting HR is really low (49-53) but during exercise it spikes so easy. Focusing on exclusively nasal breathing as much as possible, and using a deep double nasal inhale with a slow mouth exhale to lower my HR has been really helpful for me in being able to run faster for longer

It's really lovely you're showing it didn't work. I feel like it's important to remember it's not always a "success" but you still did great!

It’s so refreshing to hear 5k is a hard distance bc IT IS!!!!

Well done Emily. Are you doing or have you been doing 1km intervals? That will definitely help. Also happy to colab with you if you like on a 5k at your first parkrun. I was planning on doing Dulwich parkrun soon.

Congratulations for your new PB!!! And thanks for sharing this with us!! This motivates me a lot! 👏👏🏃‍♀️

As a fellow slow runner, I tried to get my 5k down to 25 minutes and never succeeded. Even after 3 months of "sessions". I gave up in the end, I prefer 10/15k slow runs to quicker shorter runs.

I'd recommend just running at the pace you enjoy, as time goes by, you automatically get faster. Don't push to get under a certain time, just let that become a happy accident when you get there. Instead of having a "I have to hit X time", I'd suggest you do "Today I have to hit X distance". No matter what time you get. And remember, the run you enjoy, is the one you will do. 80% of my runs, are slow pace (around 10k per hour), and the rest are when I push myself (around 10k in 45-50min). And I'm also slow compared to other runners. But I'm faster than myself one year ago! And since I don't push myself so much, my aerobic base gets better as time goes on. Run as you enjoy running. The longer you run, the better you get :) Just as a sidenote: Even though apps like Runna is good for some people, they don't work for everyone. Don't get bogged down too much into "Runna says I can do 5k in 8 weeks", if you can't, you can't. It does not mean you are doing anything wrong. Some people are sprinters, some are distance runners. It all depends on where you start.

parkrun is great people push you hope you try it

Well done on your pb! I've not actually broken 30' either yet so I'm going to be working on that. Next time, ZERO talking, you can get your lovely team mate to talk at you and pace you. You are going to get it done. Go girl!

Great job! A fast 5K is a suffer fest. When I first started running consistently a few years back, I found out super quickly that I couldn’t run as much as I wanted or else I’d get tons of overuse injuries (not even 5 days a week). I picked up cycling in order to cross train and that really really trained my heart. Now I cycle 6-7 days a week and run 3 days a week (sometimes I do doubles) with a rest day every other week if not every week if I’m getting fatigued. My running improved drastically within 6 months and I don’t get nearly the amount of volume most runners get, but my aerobic engine is strong enough that I can do speed work, endurance or tempo without issue.

Great Video, subscribed! Just remember that a bad day can be related to a lot of things: bad nights sleep, not hydrated, didn’t eat well that week, the heat, emotions, and more. It usually does not reflect your effort or training. I’m also trying to do a sub 30 min 5K and keep getting hurt. I’ve hit 30:04 but can’t seem to run consistently the past few months thanks to my IT band, hip flexors and so now am trying to focus on strength training. Also, remember to celebrate the tiny victories, not just the end goal.

Hi, i really enjoy your videos and am impressed with how you have been able to progress.. i would definately recommend getting to a park run if you are able to, i am sure that you will enjoy it! i usually prefer running on my own but going to park run regularly for me has been a great routine & discipline to get into and has helped prepare to be less nervous when attending more organised running events and races. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for representing the slow runners. It’s so hard not to compare yourself to others in this type of sport. My current 5K time is around 38 minutes. I feel your pain, every time I try to increase my pace I feel like I can’t breathe. The one thing that I do enjoy about running is that it’s me against me and I can always make goals for myself. I can do it! I just found your channel and I’m loving the content. Keep the videos coming 😊

Well done Emily. You should be so proud. Pause for a moment and think about what a PB actually means. You have run faster for longer than you ever have before. Just that in itself is awesome, but to beat your old PB by 50 seconds is huge. Amazing.

Runna looks like such a bad app, eveyrone training using it they cry, they get mental desmotivated because of how hard paces the app tell u to do, that u cant, and you should be able to. u trained at target pace without thinking about. such bad experience for everyone, breaks my hearth see u struggle using this app

not me tearing up when you had to take a break but then you kept going! 🥺 congratulations on your new pb! 🥳 you are a big inspiration for my own running journey and I'm looking forward to watching you take on your next challenge ❤ oh, and also, bonus points for including cats in your videos 😸

You’re going to have to take slow runner out of the title 🥳 get on strava!

If you get yourself to parkrun every week, you'll smash the sub-30 goal. Find a flat one. You're doing great 👍

congrats on the new PB!!! you definitely have the sub-30 within reach in the near future, if you want it! but it's also completely fine to refocus to longer distances again. i literally just booked a half marathong for september, so i'm super excited to switch over to training for that (instead of 5k training)

Cracking run Emily - fantastic PB. Going from running slow to a 5K - which is an all out sprint, is really hard. 32 seconds is not a massive amount, so reckon you could shave half a minute off and dip under. Agree that not meeting every goal keeps you hungry and motivated

I know you mentioned you don't like running in groups, but try and see if there is a Parkrun near you thats flat. Its surprising how you can be pulled along with the other runners. I know a few people that ran quicker than they thought they could doing this.

Omg so I’m a 12 minute miler and not for marathons like you, 😻 but I basically start a run knackered and finish it more knackered but I want to stick with it. I’m in my 30s and so I thought is this normal? To be slow and not really get faster? So I checked UA-cam. What did I find? Countless runners doing 5 minute miles and the small amount of motivation I did have went out the window. All I wanted was a real human being so when I found your channel I was made up! Finally someone who runs who isn’t training for the olympics 😂 maybe it’s me but I couldn’t find many real people and it’s very much appreciated thank you 🙏

Well doneee!!! 5k is hard🎉 but if you’re near Burgess that is a great park run for an unexpected PB😉 also park run in general is really fun!! There are usually quite a few of us slow runners there too😇

Congratulations on your new PB! And thank you so much for showing the reality of slow runners! 💚A few weeks ago I was trying to get a new 5K PB myself (under 35 min). Got a new PB (by a whole second 🥹) and didn‘t get under 35 min. Now I‘m back to doing a bit longer runs and just enjoying a lower HR than with the 5K runs. 😅 Keep having fun! The PB‘s will follow, I am sure!

Well done on your PB! You improved so much in 8 weeks! I could never run 5K sub 30 minutes. One day we will though! Team turtles 🐢 🤣

It is important to achieve your goals; it shows your commitment and the effort you put into it. You failed this time, but it is not the end of anything; it is just an opportunity to keep improving yourself. And that demonstrates the importance of a real coach, not just an app. Because being fast doesn't just mean reaching a personal best, it's about how well you train in both strength and speed.

Parkrun’s are great. I think you’d really enjoy them. Friendly likeminded people who just want to get out and run/walk whatever.

Congratulations on your new PB! I agree, 5k is so hard, especially when you try do run it fast. I have only good things to say about parkrun, give it a go without any pressure on times, and when you feel comfortable there it might help you get your sub-30. I find it easier to push myself and keep the pace if I'm in a group. Sometimes parkrun do pacers, that's how I got my first sub-30 5k. Good luck with your future challenges, I'm looking forward to follow your journey! 🎉🎉

Congratulations on the new PB!!!

Well done, you went for it and got a PB! My 5K PB ( from a looong time ago) was 29:59, I’ve not run for the last few years after having my daughter and feel like I want to try again. I’m a slow runner too and your videos are great because it’s more inspiring to watch someone who is around the same pace as me going out there and bloody doing it 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️x

You did so well!! A massive achievement to shave off 50 sec! A 5k is so so so hard, definitely my least favourite distance to train for! My 5k time is 31:39 and I can't seem to get it under 30; I thoroughly appreciate this video and your realistic and honest take on how hard it is both mentally and physically. We will get there!
