I started running 2, 5 years ago. Today I am glad to announce that I am a part of sub20 5K community. The real game changer was that I started working with a coach 2 months ago. The improvement was amazing. Thank you Ben from the bottom of my heart. In my first steps your contribution was significant and without your videos I wouldn’t be able to achieve this goal. Cheers !

Hey Ben! I've been working on cutting down my 5k time as we prepare for competition / race season here over in Canada, so I appreciate these timely tips 😊Hill sprints have always sounded awful, but bringing along something easy and visual like a cone might make them slightly more palatable. I loved the Kenya vlogs, good luck with your upcoming races!

Great video, thank you! Concise and no fluff, just great info. Very nice work!

[caiocipolatti]

Nice one! i've been doing the 1000s and 400s almost every week since november and improved a lot! from 45:30 to 42:20 on the 10k!

The first workout 6 x 1km is a great workout. THANK YOU! I did around 12-13 minutes warm-up, then the 6 x 1km with 2 minutes rest walking recovery, with a final 7 minutes warm-down plus yoga and stretching afters. I am aged 50 and looking to better my existing 20'10 time over the 5 k. I've tried lots of different workouts but this was excellent and will now be incorporated regularly.

Cheers Ben thst was great 👍

Perfect!!!! Exactly the video I was looking for. I'm running a 56 mile trail ultra on the 8th of June, and after I'm going to spend a few months trying to get a nice 5k PB. Looking forward to applying your techniques.

Love these videos, trying to get to sub 17 by the end of xc season, thanks

This vidéos is nuts ! Love these workouts, will definitely try them out on my next 5k specific fine tuning ❤

[thermitebanana]

Just getting into running again - I'd forgotten how much I love those 1 mile cut down workouts.
Will definitely give them a crack

[klnhmkd]

Great fun workouts to add some variety. Love it.

[GoodRNG]

Pretty sure the first Ben video I came across was pointers for improving 5k and I’m still here

[just_mls]

I really like the Mile-Cutdown workout! Alternating pace in workouts is probably the second secret to run faster right after threshold workouts! My Tip if you're doing workouts e.g. 6x1km - Try to run 5 sec. slower than RP for the first 4 reps, and for the last 2 reps a little bit faster than RP. This will improve yur stamina and to run faster on fatigue legs (simulating a "sprint finish"). I'm training like this and usually my last 1-2 km in 5k or 10k races are the fastes one. Great Video!

I started running in 2016 5k in 24 minutes, now after 7 years I can run in 18:05

[andershekkli]

Love from Norway. Currently a 15:13 runner for the 5k, and my goal is to break that 15 min barrier. Thanks Ben!

[seangonzales]

Great vid Ben! Been inspired by you, started running last year with a 23:56 5k and I just ran one a few days ago almost in the one year anniversary and hit 17:28 ! Hoping to reach your times in a few years

[lankysam]

Love the ideas. Definitely eill intergrate some of these into my ttaining despite currently training for sub 44 10km. Love the videos Ben. Keep up the good work ❤

[hellomark]

Thanks for these Ben! I keep meaning to add kilometre repeats to my workout, these other ones sound just as good too :)
