I just got back into distance running, due to the lockdown, and have managed to get my 5km down to 19:24 and 10km to 42:53. I used to run for my high school xcountry team, but after leaving I fell in with a bad crowd and started smoking weed. That was 20 years ago and I often wonder how fast I could have gone if I hadn't taken this path. Anyway I'm just enjoying running now and have nearly gone a year without smoking.

I just timed my first 10K run outside for 42:05. I think another 4 months of training I can get to sub 40.

So basically, long slow chill runs, switched up with either one of these: speedy intervals, tempo or vo2 max. Aight, got it

Followed your plan, hit sub40 last October! I listen to a lot of running podcast, read magazines, etc. But i still feel you give the most consistent and science-based running advice that one Can actually internalise. Thank you so much for all your youtube traininf tips. Just bought your half marathon training plan, happy that I’m able to buy something from you after all the things I’ve gotten for free. Cheers

I ran a 40 minute 10k in 2004 at age 21. US 10k classic. Little did I know I was running with 56 year old Bill Rodgers who beat me by a few seconds. They announced his name as we were finishing

I just completed a 5k in 19:16. Sub 40 for 10k is my next goal. Thanks for you videos that helped me hit the 5k goal!

Thanks Sage! Run my first sub 40 last Saturday. I did lots of tempo run alternating the 2-3 x2 mile repeats. Used it for marathon training but great workout for shorter distance too.

I’m so excited on my race this October 29 2018...Looking forward to break my PR..My best pr was 48 mins last June 17 2018. Great video and tips....Im doing speed workout 10 x 1km at 4mins pace/km.

[cardiffbreadshort]

You're training videos and encouragement are great, thanks very much Sage 👍

[ImChrisGonzo]

Last year at a local fun run I ran 40:30 for 10k hopefully I can get 39:59 at least in January

[sgc]

Yeh, 8:00 minutes per mile “used” to be “easy” when I was younger! I am still trying to get back to that @ 58 y.o. What kind of workouts do you recommend to increase my per mile pace during my long runs? Intervals, Tempo, Fartlek or just more mileage and long runs at any pace? Will my pace naturally increase with higher mileage per week?

[Worldwidetravel]

Ugh...my PR for a 10k is 58. I would love to get it below 50 and then hopefully 45. I can’t even see below 40 for the next 1-2 years
