I’ve been running for time for about a year and secretly kind of like when I fall short of a goal because it reinvigorates my training and motivation. I’m dedicated to running for the rest of my life so I have plenty of time to get there 💁♀️
Oooo I like this was of thinking!!!
Slow runner here. I have run 5k in under 30 minutes but only twice and the last time was 5 years ago. I decided to train for it earlier this year: 30:10... So close! But it doesn't matter Emily! Just have fun trying. And if it doesn't happen this time, maybe next time. But you may still surprise yourself 😊
Ahhh you are so close again 🫶🏻 so true, I know it’s not the end of the world it can just be frustrating when you train for something and you have a couple of ‘bad’ weeks ☺️
It won’t disappoint anyone here if you don’t hit the goal, i feel like it’s even more relatable and maybe takes pressure off of people who are going through something similar right now ❤
Thank you so much 💖🫶🏻
You've got this Emily - from running slow to picking up the pace is hard. I've recently struggled for motivation and have missed runs, but once you refocus and commit back in, the good feelings come back. Best of luck for your time trial
Thanks so much Rich ☺️🤞🏻
@@Runswithemily 5K in 29.44 tonight, first time in under 30 mins in a month. Hope you're going the same way Emily
Go Emily go! I'm more emotionally invested in your success at this goal than I ever could be for the Olympics this summer. No pressure, I'm just really excited for you!!
Haha stop that’s so sweet, thank you!!
it's really fun to see your training and your sessions etc., as they are so relatable to my own! i've been trying to get my first 5k under 30, and last week on race day i came in at 30:42.. even though i was kinda disappointed right after, i quickly changed my mindset to be happy with a new PB and learn from the race and the training! i feel pretty confident that i'll be able to do it early fall if i train consistenly during the summer, which i am cause i'm more motivated than i've been in a long time. all this to say, i think you'll smash it with your 5k attempt, and if not, it's not the end of the world!
I will enjoy your content, whether or not you meet your goal Emily. It’s nice to see your authentic experience, and honestly it is super relatable.
I set myself a goal of getting 10,000 steps every day in June with a combination of running and walking, and have ended up with shin splints. Even though it’s the last day of June today, I have had to ditch my goal to prevent further injury. I could push it, but for what gain?
Thank you so much 🥹 you’re doing the right thing, nothing is worth getting injured over! X
You can do it! Whether it's next week or just on your next try! You have it in you!
💖💖💖💖 thank you!!!!
Hey Emily
Loving your videos. I'm a big guy who is looking to get my 5k time under 30mins too. Currently at 32min11sec. Looking forward to trying out some of these training options. Will have to wait 2 weeks though be ause I'm aiming to complete my first marathon next Sunday. Hoping for sub 6 hours but will just be happy with a finish. I dont mind if I come last either.
Good luck with your training!
Hey!! Thanks so much ☺️☺️ ahh good luck with your first marathon, which one are you doing? Enjoy it, I’m sure you’ll smash it :)
@@Runswithemily Thanks. I'm doing the Gold Coast Marathon in Australia. Jog/walking until I can't anymore and then walking to the finish. Can let you know next week how it went.
Ahh lovely!! Have the best time and let me know how you get on!
I'm going through a plan at the moment that is pushing towards tumes that I don't feel comfident of hitting. I am finding myself struggling to hit target paces in more of my workouts than I'd like. It really is helpful to know others have similar struggles at times. Great video and great job trying for a challenging goal!
Ah glad I’m not the only one who is struggling! We can do it 🤞🏻💖
You shouldn't call yourself a slow runner. You are a runner.
👏👏👏👏
Arbitrary time/score goals in sports can completely suck the fun out of it, whether you're talking running, golf, whatever. When frustration hits, just remember you're doing things that are making you better than you were. I bet you're faster than you were 7 weeks ago. If you miss the time trial, I bet you hit it after your next training block. And a year from now you won't even care whether you hit the 30 minute goal in July vs. October because the whole thing will be in the rear view mirror.
Thank you 💖 that’s so helpful
oh girl you could never disappoint us. all we care about is you enjoying yourself and feeling proud of yourself, which you should be regardless of hitting this sub 30 5k (which is SO hard by the way) you are so motivational, genuinely well done
I’m not crying you are!!! 😂😭 thank you so much for such a lovely comment 💖💖
I also struggle with getting those gym sessions in, i have opted for one gym and one Pilates sessions which feels achievable (because you dont get sweaty doing Pilates it doesn’t feel like gym!)
Thank you for being real! Good luck for your challenge ❤
Thank you so much!!
My biggest tip I can share is, stay consistent. Build that base and you're chip away at your time whilst getting fitter and fitter. Keep it going!!!
So true 💖 just got to keep plugging away!
I just ran a 30:08. Now, I too want a sub 30 🤣 But, I was honestly shocked I did as well I did.
Ahhh amazing you’re SO close you can do it
Improvement in running can be very erratic.
I have friends who started Parkrunning and struggled to complete the course in 40 minutes. 6 months later and they are comfortably running sub-35. A couple of other friends recently tried and tried to go sub 30, then over the course of 4 weeks are now running low 28. For myself, I have gone low 24 a couple of times this year, but mostly end up between 25 and 26.
And then sometimes you're in a great place and get sick or injured and next thing you know you're 5 minutes than you were a year ago!
I'd love to run sub 20. Is this even possible? Who knows. I think it's more valuable to find a speed where you can run 5k (or 10k or 20k) comfortably and spend most of your time enjoying that experience, and every so often you'll find yourself going faster without even really trying. Most of my fastest Parkruns were when I set out to run fast, but when I just ran comfortably and then discovered that I'd reached the half way mark super-fast and decided to push it on the way back.
Not to say that the combo of long run / tempo run / interval run / strength work won't help. It certainly will! But if you're having trouble completing the interval run you'll get a lot more value slowing it down enough that you can complete it reliably and building up from there.
Good on ya, you can do it.. I have a 27min pb but generally I get 32 as I prefer taking it easy... Good to mix it up and I actually love intervals, it's that after high 🎉
Thank you for your belief in me hehe. I love intervals too most of the time!
You are very capable of the 5k PB... I had a 5k time trial on my plan today and also wanted a sub 30, and got 28:15!! I never thought I was capable ! Are you planning on doing it on your own or as part of a race event? You could do a parkrun :) that was the plan for me but I had to work yesterday so did it today it was raining so not many ppl out on the paths :) I am still buzzing now 3 hrs later lol
Thank you 🥹🥹 that’s an amazing time, well done!!! I’m planning on doing a park run, it’ll be my first one!
Have you considered doing a run from your plan or even the time trial at parkrun? I’ve been doing a similar plan and found the atmosphere and being around everyone really helped
Yesss I’m doing my time trial at parkrun ☺️☺️ so many people have recommended it!
Tip on using the elliptical. Don't touch the straws if you're training for running. Work only your legs with a very slight forward lean while holding the central console handles.
I do all my easy, long and tempo runs with the machine(at home) and it works like magic without breaking my legs. Can focus on intervals and other faster runs and never have to skip them because of some running related niggle. At least not yet *knocks on wood*.
Oooo a good tip thank you!!
All the best! I know you"ll do this easily! Btw I also did my 5K PB couple of weeks ago! 27:16
Ahhh that’s amazing well bloody done!!!!
I dont train at all for my parkruns, my only running is the parkrun 99% fo the time, can easy do 30min, getting closer to my 50th I decided to start training for sub 20, just adding a Sunday 4h run, start and stop here and there for water, about half marathon in 4h total for the past 4 week got me down to hold a sub 28min these last 4 park run and my 50th
My cat has definately become an emotional suport animal after I've started running (who am I kidding she already was)
Hahaha what would we do without then
Them**
I've got some gym motivation...don't go to the gym haha pay for one of those apps that give you exercise programs and build that muscle
Haha I would find it harder to workout at home!! I like to get out and have a change of scenery
which program do you follow on runna?
I’m doing the 5k one at the moment :)
