Pacing my 64 year old father to run a SUB 22 5K
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Running a SUB 22 5K, at parkrun or any 5K race, is not an easy task. After my father, Steve recently turned 64, he asked me to pace him for a 5K to test his current running fitness. A 16:30 runner back in his day, Steve can still produce very respectable times for his age category.
If you'd like to help JOG ON, you can share this video with a friend who is also trying to break 22 minutes.

Wow. Amazing. I am 39 and I just ran the 5k in 21’55”. He’s fast.
Nice work Marcos, and yes he runs very well for his age
Thanks for watching
it is not bad but it is not fast, even for his age.
@@jfneve Come on now. Parkrun post their stats. I'm 43 and last parkrun I scraped in at just under 25 mins, which put me right in the middle of my age group. I have no doubt at all he smashed his age group (and my dreams).
@@MijinLaw sorry man with all respect. we all have our time goals. but I ran 18.15 at 65 and I am trying to run sub 18 that is what i consider fast. so i have a different starting point for the word fast. But i will be the first to applaus if someone beats the 30min in a parkrun. i am very supportive to all runners, but i am not using the word fast often.
Nah you are just 'very fast' but this man is 'fast'. What percentage of people run a sub 22 in a 5k race?
If it wasn't fast, everyone would run sub 22, but they don't. Your comment is demeaning and you know it is. You probably just never bested his 5k pb. 🙈
Turned 70 late 2022 and hadn't run much at all for a decade. I was a fairish runner and managed a few age cat prizes in my late 50's. I wasn't prepared for the harsh decline in speed. If I had continued my running career, I'd have noticed the slowing pace over the years. Ah well. Trying to break the 24:00 barrier for a parkrun. Last 3 have been 24:03 24:03 24:04 I'll get there sometime this year hopefully.
Thank you for sharing Steve (great name haha)
It takes time to build back up but I suspect as long as you find the joy in it, you will continue to progress. No doubt we will bring out another video with our Steve, age and running isn't often discussed enough, or celebrated for that matter. All the best with your running Endeavours Steve!
Maybe a I can pace you in the future if we find ourselves at the same 5K!
Keep it up
Harry
That’s incredibly consistent, well done, you will get it next time. Good luck from Ireland
I'm 30 and struggling to get under 30 mins 😂
Keep pushing, ultimately you only ever run against yourself. Thank you for watching
Congratulations to your dad and well done on pacing him. I find following a pacer who is running at a comfortable pace very difficult when I'm on my limit. I have to run by myself without anyone pressurizing me.
Last year (Aged 60) I managed a Sub 20 parkrun over in Denmark at Amager Strandpark.
Like your dad, I was a fast runner back in the day.
Great time, well done and thanks for commenting
I turned 64 last month - since then, I've managed 23:30 for 5 kms. But now you've inspired me to chase 22 minutes 😀 👍
Go 4 it I'm with ya 💪🏿
You can do it, brilliant effort well done
WOW UR DAD IS AWESOME. CONGRATS TO HIM. SO INSPIRING
Thanks for watching
@@thisisjogon UR MOST WELCOME
Good job!!! This is an amazing achievement! I ran a 5k yesterday and I would have love to have finished it in under 22. 5k are do hard! To me pacing myself in a half is a lot easier
Nice work, thanks very much for the comment and support.
God, l am 57. I am still able to run under 21 min. Last Saturday l did 20:54 in my Parkrun at Sydney. When l reach his age l would love too to be able running sub 22. Nice effort
Great stuff Felix, would love to run in Sydney again
Well constructed! Enjoyed it. (66yr old, also peppering either side of 22min parkrun,!)
🧡
Nice work, that’s a great pace just shows age is no barrier.
It sure does Tim, handy on a bike as well, he's not so great in the pool though (like myself)! Thank you for watching Tim it's appreciated.
Harry
Great effort! I live 500 metres from that canal path so I am on it nearly every day!
Well done Steve and great pacing Harry. Running into a head wind after the turn about and still dipping under 22 is doubly impressive.
Thanks Chris, the headwind is never welcome. I think there is a lot more to be made with 'pacing for a certain time' type videos, it's a good subject.
I'm 38 and would love to run that fast! Awesome stuff 🙂
Love it Peter, thank you for watching
That was great!! Steve is one impressive runner 👌👌
He will always be a gifted runner. Thank you Christina
I am always inspired the most by those 50 and above. As I age myself as an athlete, still younger (36) but no longer 22 either. I have the utmost inspiration for those 60 and older, it’s incredibly admirable and provides a blue print that this is achievable. Local runner around here, 70 years old, still clocks regular 22-23 minute 5ks, that’s just amazing. I follow the OG on strava, he runs 30-35 hilly mpw like clock work! Got to love it.
Love reading this - hoping to do some more age related running videos in the future 🧡
Great pacing there H, well done to Steve too.
Thank you!
Cheers all
Im 32 and I just ran a 29 min 5k last week. I thought it was decent but then I started watching these videos and can’t wait to start pushing harder.
Wishing you all the best
@@thisisjogon thanks now down to 27
Loved this! I'm 64 with a 5k PB of 21:24, my son (36) has a PB of 16:30.....I need him to get me closer to 20!
Thank you for watching Simon, appreciate it
So inspiring!!!!!
🙏
First time here Harry - great vid and keen for more!
Sam, appreciate it. Out of interest how did you find the channel? (Great to learn how UA-cam is promoting stuff)
Your own stuff looks good - just started watching your Kathrine Switzer video - good work!
I shall subscribe
Harry
@@thisisjogon thanks a lot man. It was in the comments of another runner's vid - can't remember exactly who 😅 but probs like yourself always keen to search out some decent content from smaller creators. Keen to seem more from yours. Love the quality of the voice overs
That's a mega time! Well Done!
Cheers for watching
Absolutely amazing 👏. What an Inspiration. Well done! 💪
I'm 49 my 5k is 28.24. I would like to do it in 24 minutes. Watching what you have achieved.....I will do it in 24 minutes.
I love the positive attitude 🧡
Great video, well done Steve. As a 52 year old, I can't imagine running anywhere near that sort of time in twelve years time. Amazing!
Thanks for this comment Darryl, he does alright (the father) for his age! He's got great mental strength and knows how to push, combined with a still surprisingly effective and economic running style. I hope your own running is going well Darryl and thank you for watching it's much appreciated.
Harry
That fast for a 64 y/o. I can see he's got good cadence
Yes
Love to see you running with your dad, very cool
Cheers Maynard, appreciated
I am 59 years old and trying to get under 22 minutes. Last weekend ran 22:23 so i am getting close. Thanks for the video.
Love this, keep pushing and well done. Thanks for watching!
@@thisisjogon , ran 21:48 over thanksgiving day. Whoo Hooo . Now to see if i can break 21 minutes :)
@@herbandbonniecratty7553 I was going to say - if 22:23 when still improving makes sub 22 almost certain if you want it enough
@@LawrenceFoster-i7j i got my time down to 21:36 since then. Still working at it. Had to do some easy running with a hamstring issue but still working at it.
Brilliant. 64 and 2 minutes faster than me 20 years his junior! 😊👌
Still a great time - anything sub 25 is moving very well!
Thank you for watching
That is a pretty impressing time for any masters runner, especially one who is 64 years old. Great job!
Absolutely, thank you
Awesome video guys
Inspiring
I was a 18:30 cross country runner in high school 1000 years ago 😄
Im 55 years old and have been running masters comps with a club later in life again
Middle to longer distance up to ultras
Recently ive started to focus on faster 5-15 k runs
My 5 k is down to 23 mins
This gives me motivation to go sub 22
🏃♂️🙂👍
Cheers
Awesome stuff my man - all the best with it. Great channel name - actually would like to do a barefoot beach run sometime
@@thisisjogon
Its great to run on the beach we do some medium to long runs regularly
Great for the "soles" and for the soul👍😄
@@thisisjogon
Just knocked off 40 seconds on my 5k this morning
22:32 at a local event
7th overall and 1st in my age group 55-59
Your video has inspired me
Sub 22 is definately within reach and maybe even quicker
Thanks again
🏃♂️👍🙂
Great video, and run by Steve. I was particularly interested as my current 5k target is to break 22 mins in a Parkrun (current PB is 22.05). I always find inspiration in other runners, and particularly some of the amazing 60+ athletes who run faster than I can.
Great target Tom, I wish you all the best with it.
Run strong,
Harry
@@thisisjogon @JOG ON with Harry Morgan Thanks Harry! It might be beyond me this year as currently dropped to 23 min pace in the second 2.5k after a 'runners knee' the day after 22.05 in October. 22.05 is my version of Alan Outbound! Will keep watching to pick up tips, and thanks for all the great videos
@@tom_new I don't suppose you're in the South of England, just planning Saturday's video which may be a pacing video
@@thisisjogon I'm reasonably South, not far from Grantham. Definitely up for a pacing video sometime if it's impractical just now
@@tom_new Perhaps we can sort something out
16.30 as a PB is amazing
Yes it’s madness. One day
Outstanding effort!!
He runs well for his age Stuart! Thanks for watching it's much appreciated.
Harry
Thanks Harry. Entertaining and educational as ever.
For the record, I started jogging aged 64 (late 2015) and I'm really missing parkrun as I can't get anywhere near my PB of 23:38, which I set last November. We usually have pacers at Southampton, which is helpful, but I think I need what passes for competition at parkruns to get that extra va, va voom. Curiously, I ran my first sub-55 minute 10k in August -- on a routine training run!
Whatever, congratulations to Steve. I appear to be getting faster (for the time being) but I can't see myself doing 5k under 22 minutes in this lifetime.
Weirdly David I’ve got a video coming out about doing parkrun with no one else there and the difference it can make for motivation
I'm looking forward to that. With or without a hangover? @@thisisjogon
I am still hopeful to break 30min 5k.
You can do it Tony
Great pacing Harry, well done Dad! Exe Estuary Trail? Lovely place to run 😀!
Yes it was indeed, a great spot Lin. And great for some quicker running.
Harry
Bravo ! J’ai 60 ans et je rêve de battre mon 32 minutes sur le 5K ! 😊
I'm 5 years older than Steve and lost the desire to race after many years of age-group racing and a move to include cycling as low impact cross-training. Currently I mostly run indoors on a manual curved AssaultRunner Pro TM connected to Zwift on which I can manage a 23:45 5 km. I've found that core strength and weight control are important for older athletes.
Brilliant Chris, thanks for sharing.
Keep up the great work
Great job ! Great idea to pace Steve 60 and over...body is slow(er) than at anytime younger...for sure.
Absolutely Bob - cheers for watching
Amazing !
Great channel name Cheetah man
Great video! is this in Exeter? near marsh barton? looking to break sub 20 myself hopefully can get to a track soon 🏃♂️😊👍
Yes very close by Shaun
Thank you and best of luck with your own 5K test!
Hi Shaun - it’s the stretch from Bridge Road, Countess Weir, to the Topsham Ferry, on the west side of the canal. Great for PBs! Thx for supporting Jog On.
@@stevemorgan3911 Thank you will definitely give my next PB attempt a go down there looked like a great stretch. congrats on the sub 22 blown away by your 16.30 all time PB 💪🏃♂️
@@shaundrew3600 yup - old and decrepit now! Hope to see you at the Exmouth Parkrun when it returns in 2021.
I know that pain - very impressive
🏃♂️
Incredible! I am trying to break 23:20 in the park run. Haven't seen much improvement in my time for months though.
You've got this, will bring out more tips soon Rachael
Also, JOG ON 5K improver plan is always an option
Great pacing
Just about got away with it Darren! Thanks for watching.
Harry
Agreed, Darren!
Hi Harry , great video with some lovely edits in there ! . Just wondering what your 5k pb is ?
Hi Ethan cheers for the comment
18:00 on track
18:14 on road
Thank you for watching, it’s much appreciated
Impressive
Cheers Ed
16:30 is a great time
it is
Well done! I hope I'm in that kind of shape in 20 years. I wonder: have you looked into the age-adjusted time a 21'56 is worth?
No doubt he will have looked it up. It gives us hope of great running at a later age
Age-adjusted time for a 20 to 30 year old would apparently be 16.54
@@stevemorgan3911 Wowzers!
Age is a number.
Absolutely Joe
Good job!! The turn probably took 3 seconds out. Slow down, turn around and accelerate...
🧡
I ran the 5k parkrun 21:41 at 70 years old and 23:04 at 75. Am
Sorry went posted before I finished Am 82 now and running rubbish 35:01 tell your Dad to really enjoy it while is running well he can get much faster
Perhaps we could make a video with you Louis if you’d like to - I think people would be fascinated by the subject of age and parkrun, where are you based?
Fantastic times Louis! Thank you for supporting JOG ON.
Wow, sub 22
I'm been struggling to get anywhere near sub 22 and I'm 39 years old lol
He's dedicated with natural ability thrown in, we are actually filming again very soon so keep an eye out
Epic I'm 59 and I can't do 5k in under 30 minutes 👌🏾
Keep going
I trying to break 35 mins 5k park run after 30 years of smoking, 5 1/2 months no smoking. Its a struggle.
Impressive but then he was a 1630 runner back then so I’m not surprised
Very true, a history of quality is there
Might sound silly but do you recommend running on a flat course? I started running in march and out of convenience I run outside my house pretty much and it's up and down a lot. I was thinking it would be nice to run on a flat to see just what I can do. My average pace is about 7min kilometre.
For someone just starting out, I would recommend a flat course :-)
Yes I do Peter, keep it up
My knees hurt because of flat feet ugh... wish i could have normal legs and just run like crazy cuz i love running
Running 🧡
