Your inclusion of all different runners (shape, size, and abilities) is what sets you apart from the other running channels. My goal is for a sub 1hr 10K and a sub 29min 5K.
I can’t thank you guys enough for having me along! I could never have imagined getting close to 25 minutes but my PB thanks to you guys is now 24:07. Since then I’ve taken all the tips from the day and have dipped below 25 minutes two more times! Thanks again - so pleased!
Thank you so much for this! I was SO HAPPY AND PROUD to get my new 5k PB of 24:46. I absolutely loved every bit of this day with you guys! The support and encouragement was incredible and I just feel so privileged to have met such a lovely bunch of people (not that I’m surprised-all runners are amazing people right?!) Can’t wait for the 10km in November!
This was awesome…normal people grinding it out! I have been trying to break 25 mins for over a year and have just accepted it’s not going to happen but after watching this, I’m reinvigorated. I’ll use those tips and won’t give up! Thanks to this team and Puma for sponsoring this,just terrific!
Finally got back into running in the last 4 months after struggling with weight gain and depression. My goal is to remain consistent and hopefully finish my first half marathon in October. So many inspirational goals in the comments ❤
Love it. At 67 years I started off at 39m on 5k. Now 68, Slowly progressed to a 28:47. Aiming for 27:30 next. Doing strength exercises now to make those legs go faster.
Thanks to my Garmin and a bit of motivation from you guys I managed to get from 28:00 to 21:13 min 5K. Also from about 50 min 10K to 45:50. Will keep pushing and my next milestone is 20 min 5K and 40 min 10K but there is a long road until I'll get there. 😁
That is awesome! I am still trying to break the 28min 5K barrier without much success yet... any recommendations for a Garmin? I need to get serious about improving my pace.
@@rich0006 Hi! No worries, take it step by step and you'll be there. The last thing you want an injury. I used Garmin 55 and now 255S but 55 is just as good for this.
Excellent inspiring video - thanks! I turn 70 in December, and my goal is to dip inside 2 hours in the Reykjavik Half Marathon on 19th August. It's gonna be tough though! 💪
😭😭 no joke I have tears streaming down my face. I am so happy to be apart of a community like this. It is truly inspiring and heart warming. Hearing all these runners talk about running, and seeing all the effort and heart they put in makes me want to run even more. Watching videos like this make me feel running sub 5 in a marathon is possible for me. Especially if I can find a group going after the same goal. ❤❤❤
Great video and so good to see all those people chasing the same goal as I am, sub 25 5K! They all did amazingly and your encouragement was brilliant, well done all!
You’ve totally got this-this challenge was mentally one of the hardest I’ve ever done, but it taught me that when you dig deep, anything is possible ❤❤❤
My goal for the year is to get back to a sub1 10k after open heart surgery to replace radiotherapy-damaged aortic valve (used to be sub 50 mins before and 44 mins on treadmill). First step is getting comfortable with 5km distance, then ramping up to 10k goal…
The encouragement all the way round for these runners is amazing. Particularly stoked for Stuart! For me I was hoping to get a Half Marathon PB in Cardiff in October, but due to injury and illness that's not on the cards. But I still want to get round in a respectable time. So still something to aim for!
25 minute 5k is a great milestone. I feel like getting to the point where I could do that when I wanted was the point where I felt like I was an above average runner. My next milestone goal is sub-20 minute 5k - I’m doing a 5k in a little more than a week where that’ll be my aim. My Garmin seems to think that I can do it in 18:51, but that would be a three minute PB, so really anything under 20 minutes would be incredible for me.
This video literally brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been a runner my whole life. I’m now 62 years old and a cancer survivor. I am still running. Not nearly as fast as when I was in my prime but that doesn’t matter. To see all those people do so well was inspiring. To see Andy and Sarah encouraging everyone was even better. Thank you to everyone on and off camera for producing awesome videos that help keep me going when my morale gets low. I wish I could thank you all in person, but my words will have to suffice. Keep on runnin’ 👍😎🏅
My running goal for this year is to a run in a 10km event. I’m nearly 53 and only discovered Parkruns in September last year. With the help of channels like yours I’ve been getting fitter and I’ve been able to break 25 mins like these great people🎉❤
Beautiful video! I remember how much my first sub-25 felt. I have never ran with others but I know how much these people have appreciated all the support. My ultimate goal is a BQ-marathon! I started running last October and have my first marathon this October (aiming for 4 hours). A BQ will be 3:30 for me, and I am sure I will get there
Totally inspiring me to keep training hard to try and hit sub 26.30 by the end of the year! Finding it so tough but I am determined to get there again. Thanks for the content guys
It was such a brilliant day! You smashed it matey and no doubt you’ll get under that 25! I didn’t get to see your finish as I was too busy trying to recover - how strong was your run in! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My 5k pb currently is 31:20. I have a race (my first one!) on the 9th of September and I hope to hit the 30 minute mark. I have been running for about 7 months now, and it's been fun (and also hard, but fun). After that, I want to slowly up my distance and speed, but looking forward for that sub 30 min 5k right now.
@@CED99 yeah, I've recently started longer warmups (like, 1.5k of slow running before) and it has really helped. So I'm definitely making sure I can do that there as well, as it really improved the experience and my speed
Back in 2009, I made a pledge that if I ever stop using crutches, I would start running. I did. 14 years later and having recovered from 4 knee operations I am running! My goal is to keep running as it gives me the biggest joy and sense of freedom. I completed my first trail half marathon in June this year - this was my biggest motivation for recovery after the last operation in 2022. My goal now is to see if I can get a little faster (maybe break that 25minute 5k) and continue running injury free 😊
This was a really heart warming video to watch! More like this please! Personally, I started running in January - 30 minute 5k, and now on 25:12! So close, I think I might just push that bit harder... I love this community and the encouragement you give to others - amazing.
I am on my new year resolution of running 720kms in an year by running 2km everday and you guys are a huge source of motivation and techniques to me , which makes me to complete my resolution hopefully this year. I was very delighted when i got to know about your channel last year .thanks for creating awareness about importance of running and also educating people by breaking a lot of myths on running and giving them various techniques to run longer. Kudos to you guys.
I'm running London Marathon 24 (very lucky in the ballot!) and want to beat my marathon PB of 4 hr 46 mins. Right now, I'm really looking forward to it. And feel like I have a good chance to run less than 4 hrs 30 mins.
Fantastic to see so many people smash their PBs and be cheered along by Andy and Sarah! Currently training for a 10K then half marathon and this has given me a real boost!
Before I figured running is also a skill, I improved my 5k PB from about 30 minutes to just under 26, and couldn't go under 25 minutes for nearly two months no matter how fast and hard I ran. Once I started paying attention and realized it's all about running efficiently and evenly rather than hard, I suddenly dipped under 25 minutes and eventually under 20. Great feeling. Happy for the guys in this video.
I love seeing @puma stepping up and sponsoring content like this. I'm way more likely to support a brand when I see them sponsoring content like this versus putting out commercials or billboards
Thanks to the running channel for these great videos. No more PB's for me, but I am still running with guys I went to college with over 40 years ago!!!
Great to see runners closer to myself on the channel! I'm running my first Half Marathon in October and Im aiming for sub 2:30, but also hoping to crack a sub 30 5k soon!
I was elated last weekend to have celebrated my 59th birthday on the Friday, and then breaking 25 mins for a Parkrun/ 5K. Well on my way to my current 24.30 target. My running buddy smashed his 30min target, so it was celebrations all round!
As someone who’s 5k PB is 25:14 I’m very jealous of this. Well done all. My goal this year is to get to 125 park runs which is easy to be honest but I did welcome a daughter into my life and I do work about half of my weekends. So I only set an easy target for the year.
Having started running 7 weeks ago…. From literally nothing. Work in an office and never focused on fitness. I ran 8km non stop in just under an hour last week. I massively surprised myself and proved that anyone can be a runner if they chose to do it! Loved this video - My current goal is that get that non stop run to 10km.. without stressing about the time!
I am running 10 miles on September 17th. Aiming for 1.39 hrs. Imagining that 12 months ago just finished cancer treatment and now doing so well that next year will be going for a half marathonl Running has been a life saver for me.
I’m going to run the great north run!!! Only started running 2 years ago with a challenge to complete a 5k before I turned 50. I’ve never been a runner and I’m loving it. Thanks for all the great content, it’s been so helpful on this journey. 😊
I definitely teared up when Sarah hung back to make sure those who were a little bit behind the group weren't running alone. Love the running community, love this running community. (And I'm currently training for my first ever marathon!)
It so true-and actually it wasn’t just Sarah-what Andy says in the video is true-there were runners on the day who we felt “sacrificed themselves” to support everyone. It was honestly amazing. To say that none of us had ever met before that day, and we felt like the best of friends only a few hours later. It was amazing and so uplifting. An experience I’ll never forget ❤❤❤
I just love what you guys do for the running community! I have a bit of a niggle in my glute muscle at the moment, thus I am doing faster sessions under a bit of control. Very tempted to try for PB's in my 5km and 10km times, but I shall wait a bit. I am going to go for a sub 4 hour marathon in the Cape Town Marathon on 15 October this year. It is ambitious, because my PB is a 4:30, but I am confident that I can pull it off. You at TRC is such an inspiration and your videos have helped me so much! Thanks 🙏
I basically avoided running my whole life until this year, and somehow I really fell in love this time around! Obviously couch to 5k and 10k means I’m dead slow, but after my first 10k at the end of September (Vitality10k in London), I’m shooting for that sub 28mins 5k PB. Nothing compares to most of the ppl watching your channel, just racing myself❤
My goal is to recover from my knee injury (running in gym shoes) and then smash a sub 20 5K! From being a 16 stone smoker with poor mental health, to being able to run a 22 min 5K a year later has been so empowering, with many lofty goals for the future! ❤
How's this for being supportive? As I watched the group hurtle towards PBs for nearly everyone, I was standing in my kitchen scarfing leftover birthday cake straight from the Tupperware. That's got to be a PB of some sort. Well done everyone.
I would love to have a go at this but my ultimate goal is a sub 2 hour half marathon! My friend Andy Goldsby did this and he is doing amazing, has left me for dust now lol. No stopping him, love it! Well done to everyone 👏
Have 3 goals for 2024: 5k under 28 min 10k under 63 min Half marathon under 150 min This channel gives courage to prove that I must try then. Thanks you.
I used to run much more like 5 or more years ago. I picked up running again, off and on in the last year,, at 55 years young and trying to get 3 runs in per week. And I would love to get 25 minute 5K. Best so far this year is 27:30 for a 5K. Thanks for the video, nice to see everyone work together!
This right here epitomises the running community. A bunch of strangers coming together to be guided by those that are willing to give up their time for others to achieve their goals. Great work. Love this channel!! ❤
Great watch and a brilliant effort !.. seeing you smashing your 5k pBs was very inspirational ! Well done all and Team Running Channel ! Would love to get mine done sometime 👏👏👏
I love this! Getting back into running and have always been slower than average. I would love to be running easy 5k within 30 minutes. Can't imagine how proud of myself I'd be!
Great North Run in just over 4 weeks! So aiming for half marathon PB (sub 2.20 is the ideal). Feeling a bit stressed as had a virus this week and had to have a few more rest days
My goal is to enjoy the grind and live each day to the fullest.. which is what running has gave me... a better quality of life and better state of mind.
Brilliant TRC. Well done to all the athletes in smashing it. All PBs are hard to reach. I recently broke 20mins for 5k. Now I want 19:30, so on to next step!! The running bug is growing!!!
Running is my new found love. My goal is to be a better sprinter. I want to take part in running competitions and I also want to be a marathon runner. I know both of them are very different in terms of training and the physical abilities required but my primary focus will be to develop speed then, stamina for long distance runs.
My goals are two-fold. 1. Run and finish my first half marathon on 8/27. 2. Run and finish my first marathon on 11/12. I started running in April, so both of these are quite lofty for me.
Great job to all the runners! I ran my first ever 10k this year, and will be aiming to complete both my first ever half-marathon, and first marathon in Seoul, South Korea this November!
Well done to everyone who took part in this. I imagine running alongside Sarah & Andy was an inspiration & a tremendous incentive but the pace still had to be maintained. My goals are sub 45minutes 10k which is slightly out of my reach at the moment but something I think I can achieve with some consistent training & good health🤞
It was amazing-I was struggling to keep with the main lead group so the couple of bits where you see Andy hanging back a bit is the pep talks to me and a couple of others in that middle group. It was genuinely amazing having his calm guidance-at 3.5k I was nearly done, but his advice at that point was definitely what got me to the 24:46 that I managed to finish in. I was so happy I did it, and it was definitely thanks to Andy!! ❤❤❤
Thanks Andy and Sarah! I used this as inspiration/ motivation to push for a 5km PB, at Park Run, today. Previous, hard fought, PB was 29:09…today, 27:45. The most pleasing thing was that I was able to maintain a relatively steady pace all the way through, even speeding up, slightly for the last 1km! Next stop, 25 minutes!
It has only been 2months since I started running, my current PB is just sub 30 5k. Hopefully I get that sub 25 soon! Thanks for this awesome channel which has helped my journey a lot!
Lovely video. Well done to everyone who smashed their pbs, as well as the lovely presenters. I'm working towards a few goals myself, a sub-19 parkrun (12 seconds off at the moment), asub-39 10km, a sub 1:28 half, to complete a marathon, and to do 50km in under 4h. A couple of days after marrying the love of my life last month, we also did the Goggins challenge. Ticked that off. 😁
Great to see lovely people smashing their PBs like this, when I started running sub 25 mins 5k seemed so out of reach, but now since I achieved it it just opened so many possibilities in my future challenges, Thank you guys for promoting the sport and for the inspiring content you're putting, big fan from ALGERIA
I absolutely love the running channel ❤ i started running in April. Before then I used to say I hated running and couldn't run from one lamppost to the next. I now love running and am training to do a half marathon in October. I did a new 5k pb of 26.40 on Saturday with the support of my amazing husband.
So many goals! Short term, it’s to complete my first marathon. Then I’d like to break 19 for the 5k and work up from there, distance wise! Cheers, Jack 🙌
cant wait for a new 5k pb! Also intend to keep working towards a marathon. After running for 6 months, I can now run around 9 miles comfortably and have done a 5 mile race.
Nowadays where there are tons of inspirational motivational speaker videos around, this out does them all. Don't need lines after lines of words, but lead and make it happen.
Thanks guys. My problem is tactics. When to 'go for it' Very often, it's far too soon. I never look at my watch I will definitely be using this as a part of my Parkrun training. Thanks again, and well done everyone! 👍
Congratulations to all hitting their new PB! Well done! Not gonna lie, but that Puma kit is looking good. Needs a running cap, though. My personal goal is to hit sub-20 5km. I plateaued at 22:04 and will be making a few modifications to my workouts. Again, great job everyone!
I absolutely love how the running channel team uplift others and help them achieve their goals. My goal for this year is consistency and increasing distance.
Late to the vlog , I have a 10 mile race this morning, this is great insperation and helps to remove the butterflies. great vlog all, and well done to all the 5k PB/PR's
This is delightful. I am aiming to run an offroad 10k on a particular trail in the mountains in my state. I love seeing people accomplish their goals, even if the goals are different.
Wow this is great to watch. Hoping to run my first sub 2hr 21.1K later this year! thanks to The Running Channel I continue to see a lot of improvement in my running. Thanks a lot guys!!!
I'm working towards a sub-60 minute 10k in September, then my first half marathon with no time goal in January. I only started running properly in February and want to prove that an older overweight non-runner can achieve their running goals with consistency, determination and trusting the process.
It was so nice to see these people chasing their PB. Everybody was amazing.Thank you for doing this. 10K PB would be great but I live in Berlin :) Andy looked like he was just walking. A super easy run for him because he's a superhuman :) Sarah with the slower group
Finished a few minutes behind Mo at MK, so the big goal is still that iconic 3hr marathon. I've since added Pumas to my rotation and I'm loving them - Velocity Nitro 2 for everyday use; Deviate Nitro Elite for race day.
What an inspirational video! I've just completed C25K after 6 years away from any type of running and hope to run under 35 mins. Slow compared to most but better than still sitting on the couch...

What a shame you’re in the UK! I’d love to be a part of this, but you’re on the wrong side of the world! 😜
When does it close?
This is the year I run an unbroken 5k, regardless of pace this would be a huge milestone for me. Update: I ran a 28 minute 5k, super proud of it!
The best feeling ever!! good job :D
Good job
That's awesome!
Good job ❤ same for me ! Awsome feeling. 2nd part of the year I ran the 5k in 26. Goal is sub24 before December 🎉
We’ll done.
Your inclusion of all different runners (shape, size, and abilities) is what sets you apart from the other running channels. My goal is for a sub 1hr 10K and a sub 29min 5K.
How did it go?
I can’t thank you guys enough for having me along! I could never have imagined getting close to 25 minutes but my PB thanks to you guys is now 24:07. Since then I’ve taken all the tips from the day and have dipped below 25 minutes two more times! Thanks again - so pleased!
Wow!! Absolutely smashed it! 👏
Nicely run ❤

goal is to run a sub 1:45 half marathon!!

I was elated last weekend to have celebrated my 59th birthday on the Friday, and then breaking 25 mins for a Parkrun/ 5K. Well on my way to my current 24.30 target. My running buddy smashed his 30min target, so it was celebrations all round!
As someone who’s 5k PB is 25:14 I’m very jealous of this. Well done all. My goal this year is to get to 125 park runs which is easy to be honest but I did welcome a daughter into my life and I do work about half of my weekends. So I only set an easy target for the year.
You’re amazing-you can defo get that sub-25, you’re closer than most of us were on the morning of this challenge!! ❤❤❤
Having started running 7 weeks ago…. From literally nothing. Work in an office and never focused on fitness. I ran 8km non stop in just under an hour last week. I massively surprised myself and proved that anyone can be a runner if they chose to do it! Loved this video - My current goal is that get that non stop run to 10km.. without stressing about the time!
Well done guys!
I'm currently chasing that infamous sub-20 5k. I'm also looking to enter my first race this year, which might be a half-marathon 😬
On the day we all joked with Andy that he has to invite us all back again next year to get sub-20!! 🤭
I am running 10 miles on September 17th. Aiming for 1.39 hrs. Imagining that 12 months ago just finished cancer treatment and now doing so well that next year will be going for a half marathonl Running has been a life saver for me.
I’m going to run the great north run!!! Only started running 2 years ago with a challenge to complete a 5k before I turned 50. I’ve never been a runner and I’m loving it. Thanks for all the great content, it’s been so helpful on this journey. 😊
I definitely teared up when Sarah hung back to make sure those who were a little bit behind the group weren't running alone. Love the running community, love this running community. (And I'm currently training for my first ever marathon!)
It so true-and actually it wasn’t just Sarah-what Andy says in the video is true-there were runners on the day who we felt “sacrificed themselves” to support everyone. It was honestly amazing. To say that none of us had ever met before that day, and we felt like the best of friends only a few hours later. It was amazing and so uplifting. An experience I’ll never forget ❤❤❤
@@another_thing_running and that just makes it even more special!! ❤
I just love what you guys do for the running community!
I have a bit of a niggle in my glute muscle at the moment, thus I am doing faster sessions under a bit of control. Very tempted to try for PB's in my 5km and 10km times, but I shall wait a bit.
I am going to go for a sub 4 hour marathon in the Cape Town Marathon on 15 October this year. It is ambitious, because my PB is a 4:30, but I am confident that I can pull it off.
You at TRC is such an inspiration and your videos have helped me so much! Thanks 🙏
Boy - really need to call out Stuart. That was an epic PB!!! I see many more in your future.
I’m hoping for a sub 40 10k before I’m 40 years old. Just over a year to take off 4 minutes!
I basically avoided running my whole life until this year, and somehow I really fell in love this time around! Obviously couch to 5k and 10k means I’m dead slow, but after my first 10k at the end of September (Vitality10k in London), I’m shooting for that sub 28mins 5k PB. Nothing compares to most of the ppl watching your channel, just racing myself❤
A sub 22 5k - would be incredible. A minute seems a lot to take off my current PB ! Great video. Well done to everyone on making it
My goal is to recover from my knee injury (running in gym shoes) and then smash a sub 20 5K! From being a 16 stone smoker with poor mental health, to being able to run a 22 min 5K a year later has been so empowering, with many lofty goals for the future! ❤
How's this for being supportive? As I watched the group hurtle towards PBs for nearly everyone, I was standing in my kitchen scarfing leftover birthday cake straight from the Tupperware. That's got to be a PB of some sort. Well done everyone.
I would love to have a go at this but my ultimate goal is a sub 2 hour half marathon! My friend Andy Goldsby did this and he is doing amazing, has left me for dust now lol. No stopping him, love it! Well done to everyone 👏
Have 3 goals for 2024:
5k under 28 min
10k under 63 min
Half marathon under 150 min
This channel gives courage to prove that I must try then.
Thanks you.
Seeing people cross finish lines honestly makes me emotional. 38 and a bloke. Damn you running channel!
I used to run much more like 5 or more years ago. I picked up running again, off and on in the last year,, at 55 years young and trying to get 3 runs in per week. And I would love to get 25 minute 5K. Best so far this year is 27:30 for a 5K. Thanks for the video, nice to see everyone work together!
Was rooting for stuart, well done lad
This right here epitomises the running community. A bunch of strangers coming together to be guided by those that are willing to give up their time for others to achieve their goals. Great work. Love this channel!! ❤
Great watch and a brilliant effort !.. seeing you smashing your 5k pBs was very inspirational ! Well done all and Team Running Channel ! Would love to get mine done sometime 👏👏👏
I love this! Getting back into running and have always been slower than average. I would love to be running easy 5k within 30 minutes. Can't imagine how proud of myself I'd be!
Great North Run in just over 4 weeks! So aiming for half marathon PB (sub 2.20 is the ideal). Feeling a bit stressed as had a virus this week and had to have a few more rest days
My goal is to enjoy the grind and live each day to the fullest.. which is what running has gave me... a better quality of life and better state of mind.
Really love seeing regular runners on the channel
Brilliant TRC. Well done to all the athletes in smashing it. All PBs are hard to reach. I recently broke 20mins for 5k. Now I want 19:30, so on to next step!! The running bug is growing!!!
Very lovely video, absolutely phenomenal ! Has all the reasons why runners love running!
Thank you
Running is my new found love. My goal is to be a better sprinter. I want to take part in running competitions and I also want to be a marathon runner. I know both of them are very different in terms of training and the physical abilities required but my primary focus will be to develop speed then, stamina for long distance runs.
Well done, all involved. See, now I have to do that tomorrow just because of that 🙂
My goals are two-fold.
1. Run and finish my first half marathon on 8/27.
2. Run and finish my first marathon on 11/12.
I started running in April, so both of these are quite lofty for me.
This is the year I run a sub 1hr40 half marathon! Thanks so much for the inspirational videos!
Great job to all the runners! I ran my first ever 10k this year, and will be aiming to complete both my first ever half-marathon, and first marathon in Seoul, South Korea this November!
Well done to everyone who took part in this. I imagine running alongside Sarah & Andy was an inspiration & a tremendous incentive but the pace still had to be maintained. My goals are sub 45minutes 10k which is slightly out of my reach at the moment but something I think I can achieve with some consistent training & good health🤞
It was amazing-I was struggling to keep with the main lead group so the couple of bits where you see Andy hanging back a bit is the pep talks to me and a couple of others in that middle group. It was genuinely amazing having his calm guidance-at 3.5k I was nearly done, but his advice at that point was definitely what got me to the 24:46 that I managed to finish in. I was so happy I did it, and it was definitely thanks to Andy!! ❤❤❤
👏👏👏
What a great video. One of the best. Wonderful people.
Yes they are!
excellent video team. That would have meant so much to all of them. Great work :)
Training for a sub 3:30 marathon. You guys have always been a great inspiration, thank you! ❤
Thanks Andy and Sarah! I used this as inspiration/ motivation to push for a 5km PB, at Park Run, today. Previous, hard fought, PB was 29:09…today, 27:45. The most pleasing thing was that I was able to maintain a relatively steady pace all the way through, even speeding up, slightly for the last 1km!
Next stop, 25 minutes!
Puma couldn't spring for some caps? Their poor eyes! A good humbling video!
It has only been 2months since I started running, my current PB is just sub 30 5k. Hopefully I get that sub 25 soon! Thanks for this awesome channel which has helped my journey a lot!
This was amazing to watch. Thank you so much for this.
Love you Running channel keep it up ❤
Lovely video. Well done to everyone who smashed their pbs, as well as the lovely presenters.
I'm working towards a few goals myself, a sub-19 parkrun (12 seconds off at the moment), asub-39 10km, a sub 1:28 half, to complete a marathon, and to do 50km in under 4h. A couple of days after marrying the love of my life last month, we also did the Goggins challenge. Ticked that off. 😁
Loved this video - definitely teared up 🥲 Beautiful day, beautiful people
Great to see lovely people smashing their PBs like this, when I started running sub 25 mins 5k seemed so out of reach, but now since I achieved it it just opened so many possibilities in my future challenges, Thank you guys for promoting the sport and for the inspiring content you're putting, big fan from ALGERIA
Just hit pb on 24.38 5k - not lying, this video motivated me to give it a go. Haven't been under 25min in six years. Going strong for sub 24!
I absolutely love the running channel ❤ i started running in April. Before then I used to say I hated running and couldn't run from one lamppost to the next. I now love running and am training to do a half marathon in October. I did a new 5k pb of 26.40 on Saturday with the support of my amazing husband.
So many goals! Short term, it’s to complete my first marathon. Then I’d like to break 19 for the 5k and work up from there, distance wise! Cheers, Jack 🙌
cant wait for a new 5k pb! Also intend to keep working towards a marathon. After running for 6 months, I can now run around 9 miles comfortably and have done a 5 mile race.
Nowadays where there are tons of inspirational motivational speaker videos around, this out does them all. Don't need lines after lines of words, but lead and make it happen.
Thanks guys.
My problem is tactics.
When to 'go for it'
Very often, it's far too soon.
I never look at my watch
I will definitely be using this as a part of my Parkrun training.
Thanks again, and well done everyone! 👍
Congratulations to all hitting their new PB! Well done!
Not gonna lie, but that Puma kit is looking good. Needs a running cap, though.
My personal goal is to hit sub-20 5km. I plateaued at 22:04 and will be making a few modifications to my workouts.
Again, great job everyone!
The goal - get back to a half marathon. Haven't done one since injury during covid. Using RUNNA and this channel- wil get there!
I absolutely love how the running channel team uplift others and help them achieve their goals.
My goal for this year is consistency and increasing distance.
Late to the vlog , I have a 10 mile race this morning, this is great insperation and helps to remove the butterflies. great vlog all, and well done to all the 5k PB/PR's
This is delightful. I am aiming to run an offroad 10k on a particular trail in the mountains in my state. I love seeing people accomplish their goals, even if the goals are different.
Wow this is great to watch. Hoping to run my first sub 2hr 21.1K later this year! thanks to The Running Channel I continue to see a lot of improvement in my running. Thanks a lot guys!!!
I'm working towards a sub-60 minute 10k in September, then my first half marathon with no time goal in January. I only started running properly in February and want to prove that an older overweight non-runner can achieve their running goals with consistency, determination and trusting the process.
It was so nice to see these people chasing their PB. Everybody was amazing.Thank you for doing this. 10K PB would be great but I live in Berlin :)
Andy looked like he was just walking. A super easy run for him because he's a superhuman :) Sarah with the slower group
Finished a few minutes behind Mo at MK, so the big goal is still that iconic 3hr marathon.
I've since added Pumas to my rotation and I'm loving them - Velocity Nitro 2 for everyday use; Deviate Nitro Elite for race day.
What an inspirational video! I've just completed C25K after 6 years away from any type of running and hope to run under 35 mins. Slow compared to most but better than still sitting on the couch...
