I'm enjoying working on my pb times, I done a 10k last weekend and got a new PB of 1hr14mins, that's slow compared to most on here but I'm really pleased and it shows how much improvement I have made thanks to a coach I have working with me 🙂

I just got a PB at the Sunderland 10k yesterday, 43.14 minutes, so really happy with that! Thanks for all the videos👍

Training for a 5k time trail effort on the track. Local track club is having Tuesday all comers track meets though June 14th. I plan to give the 5000m a solid effort on the track. Hopefully will have some runners out there at my current level to help me though it. Current 5k BP 21:32. Training for 20:00. Will be very happy with anything 20:xx.

Favorite distance 10k are 1/2 marathon.

Training for a 50K, never raced a 10K, so when I do it will automatically be a PB. Racing a 10K is a little terrifying to me, I'm slow enough that I'll be out there almost as long as the elites for a half marathon. I think I would have to negative split it and possibly leave some time on the table to handle it.

Just completed my first half marathon in 1:33:20. Going to train more longer distances as I only run 5ks and occasional 10ks. Will defo use these tips to get sub 1:30 half and sub 40 10k

[paxundpeace]

If you run 5K sub 30 min round up, add one as an ambitious target and two minutes for a more casual and double that time for a 10K that would be 62 or 64 minutes as an goal.

Thank you for all the advice and laughs and inspiring content, Congrats 500k on the road to a million, Lets Go! 💪🤙

[jdaws]

Got a pb last week in Birmingham, got 39.51 so really buzzing. Great tips l will use for next 10km

[paxundpeace]

Something like how to spot good or bad training plans/ advice would be great.
They have to match the experience and the aimed goal.

I just got a new 10k PB last week at the Sydney 10k 34:59, but there's always room for improvement.

[justgame]

Ran my first 10k with virtually 0 training (had never even run a 5k) in 59 minutes, hoping to get to 50 minutes in a month for a 10k. Going to be running 40-50k per week hopefully it’s possible

[jonathanhall]

Jemma - your time is your business. Keep going. There will always be someone faster than you and someone who is slower. Well done on your new PB.

[marcobach]

Congrats on 500k subs! Keep up the great job

[tauriqabdullah]

Thanks for the video! Will try it out and update.

[HorrorCraftPlaysMC]

Funny this released a week after I got a new 10K pb, improved it by over 3 mins going from a 47:40 to a 44:27, and I followed most of the workout routines and pace strategies this video shows. Hoping to get after sub 40 someday in the future 🏃‍♂️

[kieran_football]

i got a 10k pb of 48:57 last month, dekighted with it!

[kevinandlisa]

Thank you soooo much for including Mile conversions! 🎉

[CaptainBrash]

I've got my first marathon in April, then after that I'm going to start hitting the lower distances, fun summer stuff. Trying to get 1 mile, 5k, 10k PBs.
My last 10k race was only several seconds off my PB but on a much harder course so I think I can already get a personal best in that at least.

[JimmysGarden]

This has come too late for my next 10k race in 3 days time.... I'm hoping to be better than my PB of 52:58, I'll be using your training plan next time, thank you for this good video. Keep up the great work. 👍👍
