    Very helpful. I had been doing an extremely limited warm-up, but followed this video in February and improved from 23:06 last year to 22:29. Did the warm-up routine again 2 days ago at Parkrun and ran a lifetime PB of 21:39! I'm 52 and was chasing a PB from 1992 😀

    Knowing your pace is so important. And I'm hopeless at it. I recently did a 10k race where I really wanted a significant PB and to get under 50 minutes. I knew I could get close. My previous PB the week before was 51:10 and that was hilly. But I had no idea how fast I could go. In the end I decided to go off "too fast" and see what happened. As it was, I actually managed to maintain that pace or thereabouts for the whole run and ended in 47:55. In other words, I'd been going off too slowly in previous runs.
    My favourite weekly run is the midweek club run where we do an hour in a given pace band. I love that I can join a group that really pushes me on pace and be forced to maintain that pace for an hour. And the company's fun as well.

    This was a really helpful video. This June I will have been running "seriously" for 1 year and I'm returning to my very first timed race as a bit of a bookend to my first running year. I finished the 5K last year in 27:51 and my absolute A1 goal to see the 12 months out is to get under 20. My PB is now 21:31 but sub-20 still feels so far away!

    Hi Andy, great tips, don't forget the warm down and stretches after the race or training. Carbon plated shoes are great, they enabled me to knock chunks off my Park Run times.

  • @eddiegaul1903
    @eddiegaul1903 Рік тому +1

    All good tips Andy! I've gotten a nice boost by getting my first pair of carbon-plated shoes. What a difference. I also agree -- a solid warm-up is key to getting off to a good start. Also, don't go out too fast and ease into the 5K pace. You have to get there, but for me, I usually like to take the first quarter mile or so to get there. Favorite workout for me - kind of depends. I love them all but lately I've gotten a lot of satisfaction out of the harder session or simply an easy run followed by some strides.

      Same lol, I always thought that running before a race would just burn me out sooner. But I can see how a nice jog to warm up the muscles could help. I used to be stuck in the mindset that I had to always run fast every time I ran, having nice slow runs is a new concept I'm forcing myself to do lol.

  • @gothicwriter9897
    @gothicwriter9897 Рік тому +1

    Great video. My favourite run is a fartlek run. Fartlek is where you run faster between alternate lampposts - and you decide what fast is and how many lampposts to do it for. You can use trees or any other marker. The reason I love this is if I am tired or sore I may only do it for the last part of the run. If I want hill work I may only do fartlek on the hilly bits etc. I love the randomness of this run. I like the idea of strides - I will use them as part of my fartlek runs and see how they go.

    As currently a 17:00-17:10 5k runner my staple workout is a 5 mile tempo at 5:55-6:00 per mile, improving lactic offset has been crucial for me and makes race pace feel a lot more comfortable for most of the race

    My favourite session of the week ATM is 11 x 30 sec hard (strides, I guess) with 2 min 30 jog recovery. At 62 years of age, I find doing 5 x 1k repeats a bit tough on the old body. Happy with my 23:57 parkrun today, but reckon I can get back to 22:30 once I shift another 7-8kg. Love your work!

    I have only been running for a few months. I started with the NHS C25K and now pretty much just do 5k's with some shorter 3k faster pace runs. I will start to incorporate longer, slower runs too though to improve my speed and the ease of the 5k distance. My time has been improving but these tips are great and should help me.

  • @DigitalMinister
    @DigitalMinister Рік тому +4

    I love my log run, because it's something I can slowly settle into and there's no huge pressure on pace.
    And call my sadistic but I also love hill work because it's based on effort rather than a specific (and often torturous) pace to hit for interval training.

    We’ve been running strides at group training- cones set up at 20 or so yards each, start med. speed, speed up at each cone until you’re at nearly top speed for 5 cones, turn around jog/walk back, repeat 4-5 times after our long group run. It makes me feel powerful after a long run and I’ve seen an improvement in my distance training where I used to feel unable to pick it up at the end.

    For a 5K I'd recommend 5-6x 1K @ target pace or as close as you can manage keeping them as even as possible with 2 mins float recovery. I only do these once a week for maybe 5/6 weeks. After that do a different workout as your body get used to it and it's a case of diminishing returns.

    I’m working my way through your tutorials and I’m really enjoying them and excited about incorporating your suggestions into my training, until today I didn’t know what a “stride” was and don’t warm up or down, but I do pre-run before my Parkrun( 234 Parkruns).
    I’m 63 and have a full-time job and run, work permitting 3 times a week, and a PB of 21.58 from last year, today I’m stuck on about 22.15. My problem is, (I think) I don’t know what pace I’m doing on the day, my question is, should I look at average pace or actual pace on my watch or don’t look at my watch at all?

    Great video, but Andy is talking really fast, not like in his other presentations. Too much coffee?
