    to improve faster you need 3 workouts.
    1. Time trials
    2. Intervals
    3. Aerobic runs

      @@ObiAmajoyiSrMD I'm extremely out of shape now and am working towards getting back in long distance shape. Idk what they mean by aerobic runs or time trials but intervals is something I do a lot for extended endurance. I do hybrid endurance workouts like battle ropes for 5 minute intervals like sprint intervals at a very high effort level and then sprinkle in distance low effort time frames as well. Same for running.
      Day 1: Long low speed jog.
      Day 2: Actual run speed pace for set distance.
      Day 3: Sprint intervals on a treadmill. Say my normal pace is 6mph. So I do 3 intervals. Interval 1: Walking Interval 2: 6mph interval 3: Max speed for set timeframe.
      And I do this interwoven throughout the week. So its a varied workout.
      This is how I trained in high school for cross country runs anyway and have adopted it in adulthood again. For me it was very effective in improving race times.

    Doing 5k every day is good, definetly better than not running at all, but there are some tricks to running faster.
    Run slower for longer, much longer but at a very casual pace where you can have a conversation/vlog if you like. Do intervals (sprint than jog, repeat). But the most important bit is 80/20. 8 out of ten (4 of 5) runs easy and only push on the 20÷. Your times will improve like crazy :)

      My dude, this is the way. I'm 41, was 80 kg in March. Then I started running, hit my first 5k at 41 min 42 sec. A month later I sit at 29:28, I do 6 to 8 km every. When you do it like that it gets addictive too, I promise myself rest days but I start twitching around noon and go for a quick lol round of a mile maybe 2, and then obv since I'm there already I drag it out to whatever I feel like on the day. Running in your heart rate zone 2 is king.

    Hey mate, love your way of storytelling! Your motivation is infectious and inspiring. Like others have said though, slow down on most of your runs if you wanna keep this up.

    That's crazy, your time was very good for a beginner. I used to run 5k and it was so difficult at the beginning, and I had to start and stop between fast walking and running. But once you run continuously through it for the first time it is such a good feeling! Runners high is real. It still can be a slog in the first 5 minutes trying to control pace (I'm a fast runner if I don't consciously think about it, around 5:00per km, so I try and pace myself to avoid injury and overstrain.)
    I do the occasional 10 minute run on the treadmill at the gym, but seeing your video makes me want to retrain myself to do 5k's again because I miss it. (I had to stop when I contracted COVID and my heart went a bit funky, but I think I'm fixed now)

    If you are into weights I’d really recommend to start running along with weights. I always felt going to the gym to lift made me healthy and like I was a hero. But since I started running and ready for a full marathon I actually feel super Human and realize that even though just lifting is better than nothing I’m now actually fit. There is no feeling like the first time you go for a long run and the first time you actually feel yourself getting stronger and faster!

    I used to run a lot a couple years ago and I would always listen to music. I don't know the exact psychology, but distracting yourself from the running and with higher tempo music you can follow that for your pace.
    Then I broke my leg and didnt get into it for a couple years, but after tearing ym hamstring in summer, my fitness has been terrible by my standards and I have started getting back into it now.
    My biggest tip is to not listen to music, not distract yourself from whats around you. Just go out, listen to the noises, see what is around you and most importantly feel your body and the ground and adapt how based on how you are feeling on the day. I've only been focussed onto running again for the last 3-4 weeks and going with no distractions has been a massively therapeutic mentally. I am exercising more, but feeling less tired in the rest of the day.

    Well done. Great achievement. I'm the opposite end of the spectrum from yourself, as a slight build and endurance amateur athlete.
    Your friend that recommended a SIS energy gel for a 5K doesn't know what he's talking about though. Your body can store about 60 minutes of carbohydrates naturally, so thw carbon energy gel is only needed I'd you're running further than that. For a 5K you'd he better with a shot of espresso, but you don't really need anything. I run about 100-120K per week and only take gels on my Sunday 30K plus run.
    I couldn't lift weights, though, so doing hybrid athlete stuff is impressive! Nice one.

    you definitely arent a couch potato if you can run 30 minutes consecutively for your first time, thats huge in itself, as a former hockey athlete I took for granted my physical fitness. ESPECIALLY my cardio, I used to think someone be able to run for 30minutes is about average, when realistically the average is probably around 2-3minutes at moderate pace 4-5 minute at light pace. Im overweight, at 81kg 5,10 but 25% bodyfat and just started nicotine replacement therapy for my vaping habit that i started after i couldnt compete at hockey anymore, I CAN BARELY RUN 90 SECONDS at moderate pace not because of my muscles failing but simply not being able to breath. Anyways im on week 2 and still running for 90 seconds walking for 180 seconds and repeat for 5km, only got easier during the start of week 2. incredible that 3 years of bad habits no exercise or training can just erase 20 years of literal blood, sweat and tears.
    What im trying to say is even if you dont think its impressive, to some of us it really is, good work man!

So my cardio is getting better a lot quicker than I thought I guess switching from vaping to the swedish snus is a big factor too, but I can't actually tell the limits of my cardio because now after about 3-3.5km something gives out before my cardio does i.e shin splits too painful, today it was my knees... My ankles hurting too much etcetera... I have no idea what to do about it. It's definitely a lot better than 2-3 weeks ago where 500metres in I couldn't breathe.

    why is he wearing that backpack during the outdoor runs? It seems like a waste. Clearly he doesn't need it in the gym so why outside? Just drink before you run and after you finish, if its a 5K.

      Why everyone hate on runners that wear a backpack/vest while running?? I’m also new to running so I don’t quit get it :)
      I feel like everyone should wear whatever they want! Plus in the gym you can have your water bottle on the treadmill.
