@@paulhall7848 idk if you still need help but if you’re running 50k a week and your pb is 21 I think that you should try to do some more speed work and try to get your top speed up. I’m by no means a coach so take my advice with only a grain of salt. I only run about 25-30k a week and my pb is 16:48. I’m more of a miler than a xc runner so the top speed part comes a little easier to me than the endurance does, but I think just getting comfortable running at a faster pace will help you tremendously, cause it sounds like you have the endurance and mental toughness(assuming you’re running about 5-6 miles a day).

@@paulhall7848 Yes, I definitely agree with this (what Duke S1lv3r said). You certainly have the base ingredients to run a faster 5km, the aerobic base is very important. Not sure if your 50km is run at a fast pace whereby you're getting fatigued so perhaps dial down the pace on easy-run days. But for sure, doing speed work is critical for adapting your body to tolerate faster speeds and importantly, holding those speeds. I also find hill sprints beneficial. But also, don't forget some tempo runs if these aren't already incorporated into your 50km. As is recommended in this video, increasing mileage is also hugely beneficial. It's no wonder his time when down by so much, going from 20km per week to over 100km per week.

I have never been a runner but noticed I was getting 5k on the running machine so decided to take it outdoors. It's been on a nice flat surface and through the forest but it's really tough going.

Never forget the age factor! 58 now and got it to 20.31 so am realistic that if I get below 20 it will be massive. Your tip on the 1km intervals is excellent. I slowly built up to that from 10 x 400m inters to 4 x 800m then 5 x 1km

Personally I've had great results from under distance interval training combined with over distance long runs presuming you do 2 interval sessions a week. 16x200m circa 30 secs with 30-40 rest depending on training partners. Add 2 extra sets at max effort if you've got anything left in the tank at the end. 5x500m @ 3km pace 1min rest & 5x300m @ 1500m pace 40secs rest consecutively ie 500-300-500-300... Then one 8km+ run a week at 80% effort.

Thanks buddy. Yeah there really isnt any secrets just more miles and consistency. All the best!!

So amazing to see your journey and how far you’ve come 🥰

One corollary that I would add to the increase your mileage by 10% a week point is that it's commonly recommended to build 3 weeks and fall back 1. So every 4th week is a fall back week, probably run a little less than you did in the first week of the build up. This gives your body time to recover and make those gains stick. For example, if you've been running 20/wk for a while, it may be 22, 24.5, 27, and then fall back to 18 or 20. The next week would start at 30ish, and so on.

I could only run 1 mile in 6'02 and now I can run a 5k a bit faster than that as my 5K PR is 18'20 which is 5'54 per mile. I am 43 years old now so I doubt I could improve very much now. Maybe I could run sub 18 one day which I would be very happy with. But your video had some really good advice. I would also add to get a coach who knows what he's doing.

Increase mileage will for sure improve your time but the most important thing is concistency and training smart, short interval training a long time before the race to build the speed and after rise that to maintain the speed a longer time, and easy run should be very EASY. I got sub 19' with 3 times a week and 18-20miles with that method. After that you can add some easy and short recover run after a day of interval training.

Brilliant video, thank you. Just getting back to running after my let's say up and down journey with it over many years. Will definitely be increasing the mileage slowly and incorporate some speed work at some point. Always used to struggle with running fast, that's because I was never doing any speedwork. This time round I know much more about running and it's great to pick up some useful advice from people like you mate 👍👍

Another huge tip I would say is to do strength work. Most people don’t use all of their muscles when they run but the more muscles you activate in strength training the more muscles you can use in a race to get faster.

Few years late but stumbled across your videos as I have started getting into running post an injury 6 months ago! Looking to break the sub 20 by the end of the year so this is really helpful! Going to start speed work this weekend.

lovely video! I used to run 800m (placed 4th in sheffield when i was 14 for my age category). I didn’t really run over lockdown, but got back into it over the summer. I ran a 19:16 at the end of august after a few weeks of getting back into things, and just ran an 18:48 on the same course. I’m hunting down a 17:01 age category record at my regular parkrun while i’m still 17, so definitely going to be adapting my training based on this.

Thank you so much for the video! I’ll be taking these notes on the road with me!

Well done Ben. Simple, concise, and accurate. Consistency, Duration, and Intensity have always been the building blocks and you stated their interconnection quite clearly. I'm 62 and an ex-college runner who has been running and competing fairly regularly since Jr High school. If you are over 60, (like me), or new or returning to running, CONSISTENCY cannot be overstated. Lower your duration (mileage), lessen your intensity (speed), but find a starting point your body will accept on a daily basis. That's 7 days a week. Its much more important when you're starting out or as we age to improve our body mass index and our cardiovascular strength then to try to run faster everyday. Maybe incorporate a Jeff Galloway run/walk type effort but I encourage those who fit this category to get out everyday even if it goes against conventional wisdom. It does work. As Ben stated the improvements will come with time. Be patient with yourself and take pride in your daily effort! Ben I look forward to following your success.

Great video. I started running to improve my mental health , it’s helped me massively this video has pushed me to places I didn’t think I could go to Thanks 🙏

Totally agree with the mileage point. I think overall weekly distance is the best indicator for 5k performance. Those base building runs are absolutely vital!

I watch all of your videos but had to come back to this one to give kudos for your awesome tips to improve the 5k time. Went to my second park run this weekend and managed to reach my major goal in going sub20. I did my first and also last 5k at the end of October with 21.31 and was able to hit 19.25 now. Looking back your tips 1 and 2 to stay consistent and to up the mileage are most crucial. I joined a running club and increased my weekly mileage from around 40 to mostly easy 60+k. Also started doing intervals once a week on the track. Was amazing to see how my endurance and speed progressed over this relative short time just by continuing to put the work in. One tip I would like to add is doing strength and stability training which helped me a lot with keeping a good running form even on HMs and probably staying injury free. So thank you Ben for the inspiration you give to all of us and helping a fellow runner progress! I'll let you know when I go sub19 ;)

You’re welcome! Thanks for the feedback 👊🏻

Really helpful tips!

This was great advice!

Thanks for the honest vid! I’m hoping to drop my pb of 17:46 down to under 17 next cross country season. The speedwork advice gave me inspiration on how to train over the summer.

Gonna be honest with you, at the paces you’re running; that’s maybe sub 15:30 pace fitness My advice is having a rainbow of paces each with a purpose whether it’s recovery,training,workout, threshold, aerobic,anaerobic, speed work etc. All those should be ran at Different paces not the same pace. For reference my Pb is 16:44 and I mostly train at 8:00+ pace on my easy days, 7:30’s on my endurance/aerobic days and progressively getting closer to race pace depending on what type of running you’re doing

No problem, thank you

Very helpful thank you 🙏🏼

Great work, I am getting back into running again 35 now , a few years ago I did a sub 20 5k , this took me about a year I had started at 40min 5k so you can make a big difference in a year particularly if you are new to running.

Thank you sir. Lots of love from India

Great advice,thank you 😊

I’ve been marathon training with one day of speedwork per week for about one year. Marathon this May, resting for a month, and then dropping down to a 5k block to work on my speed. Thanks for the tips!

Great video Ben 👍🏻

Genuinely encouraging, so much better than many arrogant sporting KZreadrs I see who only talk about themselves and expect ‘constant’ praise. I hope you do well on KZread. Good luck...:-)

Ben, you have been an inspiration to me for sure. At 35, I started running again in February of 2022(22:34 5K). I got it down to 16:50 5K in November and I'm now 100% focused on breaking 16min at a race on July 4th 2023. I struggle with high mileage though.. anything over 35 miles(56K) a week my legs really start to go dead and I tend to get injured. I'm not sure if I can break 16min on only 50miles(80K) weekly, but I will give it my all! Thanks for the videos!

Great! I run 70kms/wk. But My 5k time is less than 20min. I focus more on the endurance run side, half marathon, 10k. Preparing. Maybe you need rest and an improved diet with veggies and proteins. I changed that and even after my daily 14kms run, i did not feel tired. 14kms for 5 days/week. I could even add on one more as it is an mileage week only.

Good advice! Plain and simple. Good job! 👍

Thank you Ben.

A very honest and straight talking video. Got all the basics of performing / recovering better with the hard work ethic attitude. There’s more than one way to skin a cat but repeat, repeat and push and your body will adapt! 👍
