    My biggest barrier was sub 20. It felt like it took forever. But once I broke it, the times just started to get lower and lower. It is also easier to stay consistent with it too. I just did a 6 month block of easy, low heart rate runs with no speed work(currently training for ultras). I did my first 5k race with no training leading into it a week ago and ran 18:28. You got this!!!

I would do speed work twice a week. 1 tempo long run, and the other mixed between repeats ranging from 400m up to mile repeats. I credit my increase in mileage to really pushing sub 20 and beyond. I was averaging 30 miles a week starting out, to when I finally broke sub 20 I was closer to 80 miles. As my weekly miles went up, the faster I got. I stay around 60-70 miles a week now and feel like i could run at a moderate effort and go sub 20.

    30 days for such improvement! 🎉 Great job and determination! Btw 18:14 final for Dylan is not even on my wish list 😀

    Great content, great to see such a mixed ability field. Dylan's improvement is amazing, along with using the app, to get 18:14 did he upgrade to some carbon footwear too 😊

    18:14 is very impressive. Motivates me to try harder and push forward. You don´t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great!

    Good job Dylan running a 18:14. That’s right at my PB. Makes me want to get out there and train for a bit faster race.
