      My biggest barrier was sub 20. It felt like it took forever. But once I broke it, the times just started to get lower and lower. It is also easier to stay consistent with it too. I just did a 6 month block of easy, low heart rate runs with no speed work(currently training for ultras). I did my first 5k race with no training leading into it a week ago and ran 18:28. You got this!!!

      @@TM-721 80/20 running. I stayed in mid zone 2, low zone 3 for 80% of the week. I would do speed work twice a week. 1 tempo long run, and the other mixed between repeats ranging from 400m up to mile repeats. I credit my increase in mileage to really pushing sub 20 and beyond. I was averaging 30 miles a week starting out, to when I finally broke sub 20 I was closer to 80 miles. As my weekly miles went up, the faster I got. I stay around 60-70 miles a week now and feel like i could run at a moderate effort and go sub 20.

    I think it really depends what you are aiming for. I trained for half marathon and goal was to manage 6min/km throughout the 21km - I am 58, and I did not run that long ever before, actually never more than 5k. So I started with short 3 and 5k runs trying to stay constantly around 6min/km. When that worked, I split the task... 2x 10k trying to manage all individual km at 6min roughly and 2-3 times 3-5k runs at higher speeds - whatever worked - to increase muscle ability. Then up to 15k and keping the short distance routine. I hit a ceiling for myself at around 4.5-5min per km on 3-5k but managed to incrase the distance to in the end 21k at 6min/km. Not great, I know but I simply managed to get the goal I set myself.
    I find 6min/km a nice speed for relaxing short runs. And longer is anyway not great for my knees. I focus more on weight training now to increase muscle mass, especially in glutes, quadris etc, and do cardio on the side. My hips, knees and all joints thank me for that 😂

    Very interesting video, all of them did a great effort of improving their times. Dylan might have won with his new time of 18:14 but they all deserve praise for their efforts.
