Jess is mine... Great shoe choice from her too.

I love watching Tom get better and faster on each episode. I also appreciate that TRC adds a second person to the episode who can talk to us while Tom breathes so he can continue to live.

That's really something most women can't understand. Men can just go and think about nothing at all and in my experience this is something unthinkable (pun) to women. I don't know why, but it seems it's just the way it is. I even remember an episode of Seinfeld about this 😂 Anyway I'll save this little interval thing for when it's too crappy to do my hill speed sessions; thanks for reminding me about it 🤓

Love how relatable Tom is. It's nice TRC has runners in all speed categories to appeal to a wider audience.

It's good to see how an average runner trains. This kind of content is helpful. Please do this more often.

Honestly Tom is the most relatable runner from the channel. Looking forward to see him in more of these challanges!!! (please) You go Tom!! You got that sub 60mins.

"Tom enjoyed it!" Tom: *stares at the camera in despair* continuing to come through the relatable content, and can i say as someone who is also chasing a sub-60 10k....much appreciated. go Tom, you got this!

Tom is such a good addition to this channel. It's nice to see more average runners (no, Sarah doesn't count anymore, sorry babe, you got too good)

got my sub 60 min 10k PB on sunday with a 57.33. Was a long time coming, but put in a proper training block and now eyeing a sub 55! go on Tom

Nice one. But don't push too hard. At those sorts of times, just regular base runs will see drastic improvements in times. You only need to add intervals and tempos once you've got down to 45-50 territory.

Love the energy that Jess is trying to give Tom

I enjoy watching him suffer ;)

The editing, the subtitling, the production decisions. Perfection! "indecipherable angst" Best laugh of the day. Loved it

I absolutely love the whole interaction "what do you think about when you run?", "do you get to sleep quickly?". Incredible energy from both of them!

We need more jess and tom videos!! Tom is such a nice bloke and his work ethic is fantastic! I think jess's positivity is just what he needs. Great video!

That bit about running with people, I second that! I'm an introvert, I feel bad, nervous and/or angry when in a crowd. I've been running 5k for a year and a half, 3 times a week solo in the evening. I felt quite good about my pace and I thought about a competition. I've ran a half marathon relay race. The time was bad, I was exhausted, it completely killed my motivation. Now, few years later, I've found about a local parkrun group. I didn't know anybody there but that was the good point. I don't know them, they don't know me. They don't care how slow I am. But running with other people changed running for me. I have a strongly competitive mindset. Running with others gave me a good benchmark on where I am now and where I can be. After few runs I had a good sense of other runners' pace so I could try chasing the rabbit, that one person who I thought is in my reach. Half a year later I am healthier, my hips and knees stopped to hurt, I run 5k without a problem, my time got from 30 to sub 25 minutes, I've comfortably run my first half marathon (full distance, not a relay this time) and I got to know a lot of good people. So yeah, definitely running with other people can be very helpful, as long as you can find a bunch of good, cheerful people who won't judge you for being slow but cheer for you showing up every week.

Watching this while recovering from my first ever race! 10k in 1:03 (and a bit)! Now aiming for under an hour, so this is the perfect video 😊

I'm not one for reality tv, but if these two had their own show, I'd tune in for that.

I'd tune in for James providing an episode-by-episode (literal) running commentary on a reality TV show starring Jess and Tom.

3:22 is the best reason to run with a (less fit) friend. 😊

Haha great job!!! I love the authenticity. Showing the struggle makes us not feel alone. 10k PB here you come 🎉

This might just be my favourite video!!! I love when faster and slower runners run together! And the contrast between their energy makes it even more fun to watch! I love Tom!! He runs for him, and seems like he doesn’t care what anyone else is thinking !

YAASSSSS TOM! Way to finish that workout! I am definitely in your camp with the paces, I like to run by myself as a stress release but often run with music to get out of my head. Bless Jess for her awesome support and positivity as well! So great seeing you push through, Tom, and get it done. Epic effort 💪

Well done Tom you smashed it! Great energy and positivity from Jess! 👍👍

Some honest hard work there Tom - well done, some real grit shown! My coach keeps setting workouts that my mind tells me will be too tough but they kep getting done - the sessions don't get easier, they just get harder but putting in the effort does get easier!

What a great video! Two runners which can't be more different, but share the same passion. I love the vids with jess, she is pure positive energy! 🌞

Go Tom! Be patient, consistent and kind to yourself and your body. Let your whole system make those adaptations as it absorbs the training, don't push too hard. I came from plus 60 10k races 13 years ago and now average around 40min. Lots of ups and downs along the way, but am still loving the journey and sense of health and fitness it's given me. It will be hard work at times, but it should also be lots of fun and fulfilling more often than not. Good luck again, you're going to reach a lot of people on this series, and we're really rooting for you!

I love these videos! I usually try them out on my next speed training session and it's really given some fun variations to make the speed day not so daunting.

Love the Tom and Jess combo! Huge kudos to Tom for being willing to film these videos while pushing so hard

Love this Tom, I ran my first 10km in 2016 at 39 and ran 1.06, I am now 47 and looking at 50 minutes, You can beat the hour barrier!!! Love it!

Jess the cheerleader! 😁 Well done Tom!!! I am definitely going to try this one. Love contrast of your personalities, but still great teamwork. 👏❤️

It is so refreshing to see this...all the reality of running and trying to better yourself, hating it and then loving it! These two are a brilliant combination 😅😅 "I think of nothing"

I love this pairing - more of these 2 pls!!

As someone with a 10k PB of 1hour 31 seconds this workout is definitely one I must try. Thanks and congrats Jess on your new PB. Peace and love from Trinidad and Tobago.

Loved the workout!

That section where Jess is happily gabbing away and Tom is quietly suffering through the rep -- been there!!! hahaha!!! The editing on this one was delightful. **Indecipherable angst** indeed. I am not even training for 10k now but kind of want to give this one a go!!

Best new running duo! 😂😂😂 jess is a natural cheerleader! She’s shown that she has that ability to inspire those to push themselves beyond what they think they are capable of! Tom you will crouch your 10K with jess by your side!

I tried this workout and it’s tough, but in a very nice and achievable way. It doesn’t get boring because of the shifts. I will try it again!

So entertaining on so many levels. I can totally identify with Tom. Also can identify with Jess as I have been fit (a couple of times in my life). Go Tom!! You’re motivating me to get out there and be more Jess! Also just to say, Tom’s posture improved 100% through the run as he got into it and started believing in himself! If he started off like that I think it would work wonders (even if you gotta fake it at the start!) Keep going!

Please more videos of Jess and Tom. fun to watch

"It is raining. And no, I don't want to do it". This is so relatable as a fellow londoner 😂

One of your best videos :)

More of Jess and Tom please. Great combo

I would love to have jess as my pacer. Drawing off her energy would knock minutes alone I'm sure 😂 And great effort tom! It does get easier I promise, just keep at it mate 💪 personally I love running with slower people because it keeps my slow runs slow and motivating them makes me feel good, so never be ashamed to ask a friend to run with you!

Love the color coordination!!!

These two remind me of the Delerium video where the fitter woman was dragging along the less fit man. Good effort and very useful. Will definitely try this 👍

I love their energy

This was such a fun vid! I love hope Jess’ shoes matched Tom’s tshirt and vice versa haha

These two are awesome in a video together!

Keep going Tom! Running with a faster buddy always help with keeping pushing, just playing the keep up games works well. I feel like we're in a similar place, and just got my first 10k under 1 hour at 59:43.

"Nothing, I think of NOTHING" ahah this is a awesome workout Jess 💪🏽👏🏽😀😋

I always love a Tom video. That imposter syndrome thing is so real when you're around faster runners. Keep going 💪

This looks like the perfect treadmill workout for someone alone, I will definitely try it so I can beat my plateau, thanks!

I find these workout videos hard to follow, all the intervalls, the paces, the repeats and all that. Can you at least put them in the description? And as always, Tom is so relatable. A 10k sub 1h is an A Goal for me as well. Not sure if i will ever be able to do it. Currently at 1:07. Best of luck!

I use my garmin setup and most of my sections nothing needs to be pressed. He put in one heck of an effort and she was so positive. We would all improve with her help. Me next!

You two are so funny together 😂

Great video and looks like a great workout. One question - when you say “at 10k pace” and “at 5k pace” - presumably the 10k pace is your target 10k pace? And the 5k pace - is that your achieved 5k pace, or an aspirational one?

I started my running journey 2 years ago barely finishing 10k in a bit over an hour. Now i'm down to 41:27, really proud of how far i've come! I would have never imagined 2 years ago i would be close to sub-40

I'm in the middle of a training block so I substituted my 8x800 threshld workout with this one today. It's a tougher than expected workout. The first set was fine. The second was tough. My targets were 10k time for the 2k, and faster than 5k time for the 400m. I think it's a solid workout for either 5k or 10k training and plan to use it again in a few weeks.

“Tom enjoyed it”, sure? 😉 Well done Tom, all the best for the new PB 👏

This is me and my super bright and bubbly running pal. I haven't hit the sub 60 minute 10k yet and she is already encouraging me to sign up for the 30k night race in August 😮

You survived Tom! You did it. Well done!

You know Tom's pushed hard when they need subtitles for him at the end. 😂

I can completely relate to Tom on this. But having a running buddy like Jess would keep me going (but complaining most of the time). 😁

I’m in a similar position as him but my thought is if I can just drop 50lbs a sub 60 is easily doable.
