Did a 5k run a couple weeks ago without any actual training other than just going for a run every couple days. So naturally I had to take 6 or 7 walking breaks in between, but still got over the line in 36:48 min. Now I got myself a Forerunner 45 and doing some actual trainings to ideally finish next years run sub 30

I used these for my speed workouts as part of my plan. Every week my neighbour finds me lying on the pavement crying 🤣

I just ran my first ever 5k last weekend and as a previous non-runner I was really proud bc I ran the entire way in a faster pace than I had during training. But now I'm ready to get faster lol so this is perfect timing. Thank you Phily!

Did my first 10km last year and fin first over 50 in a time of 43:49 was over the moon, I'm am doing the same race next Tues, hopefully I can do better.I've done a lot more speed session since so feeling I can do it 😊

34 year old guy here been running since Sept 2022--fast forward to now I'm averaging 70miles/wk...7 days a week running. My HM pb is up to 1:34 and my best 5k so far is 19:37. Really trying to get my 5k PR down to 17min by next year. And have the St Jude marathon I'm really trying to get under 3hr this December.

These kinds of 5k-specific workouts have really improved my running in general, all the way up to the longer distances. Looking to include more variety, so these may be just what I need.

Thanks

Great viseo. I am 43 and run my fastest Park Run last month @ 19.49.
Tempo sessions and intervals were the game changer for me.
And base mileage of course....

Kepp it up girl. Great video.

signed up for a 5k in september and want to reach my big goal to run sub 20 minutes. I think your tips give me the last push

[shannonsides]

This video is gold, PHILY! I love how entertaining and fun you are, but also give me some helpful run tips. I’m trying to improve my marathon time so I’m working on the 5k this summer. Still 30 seconds off from sub 20 but these workout sounds awesome to chip away at my time. Thank you!

[DanielNowak-xjoc]

My time for 5km is 16:42 now trying for sub 16 this season! Awesome advice thanks for posting this Philly !.

[daisverrisson]

Great interval sessions. Always on the lookout for something new and fresh to spice up our running regime, and you definitely delivered. Thanks and Cheers!

46 yo just getting back into running after a 8 year break. Looks like a good channel to watch. Cheers.

Just did your 500/200 workout and loved it. I tried 500 @ 4:55 then 200 @ 4:45 min/km. Ended up doing 4:45 then 4:30 min/k. Sort of realised if you run the 500 too fast you won't have anything left for the 200. I only did 4 for now to try but will do it again. By the 3rd rep the 500s were feeling easier

Too bad your coaching spot filled up but I may say I download your free running plans so am ready to get to work thanks so much, am hoping to run 2:55 marathon❤️🙌🎉

[AlbertWeijers]

I'm about to start your 5k plan, so this is exactly on time for me!

[Viralvideo_club]

Great info, great on camera presence, and a ridiculously impressive run time. Appreciate you putting this together!

[liamroche]

Most awesome set of sessions I have seen! I may feel differently after trying them all. (EDIT: loved the hill sprints one on a treadmill. Adjusted to standing recovery 15 seconds with 30 seconds between sets).

[MooMooMath]

Great video. Thanks for some new ideas to help keep my training interesting and fresh.

[Danolsen]

I really need some structured training, thanks for the inspiration. My goal is to get sub 19. Fastest 5k this year has been little over 20 mins.

[trishykins]

Absolutely loved this video! Any chance there might be a half-marathon version in the near future? Just signed up for one in October and would love some more tips! 😅
