Fast time for me, working on speed still to break my old PB but my wife took a minute and a half off her last parkrun time, PB to her. Both of us now above 62% age grading.

It's always interesting to see how other people run. When I am running 4.30 per km I feel like I am running super fast (for me at least). When other people are running at that speed it looks like they are jogging.

Impressive, Sarah. Your videos always feel like you’re representing the «rest of us», the average (at best) runners. Probably not for long, though. Given your training and efforts at the moment, you’ll probably improve above and beyond us in no time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Her enthusiasm and honesty are so refreshing and I love that she's willing to always challenge herself and show the hard work. BRAVA Sarah!!

46 seconds of your pb is bloody well done.

Current Parkrun PB - 22:30 which was in 2019. Currnet 5k PB - 21:42 which was in 2020... cant wait to smash my Parkrun PB!

i had the feeling with the 10k that i must not go to fast in the beginning. but just before halfway point i thought f#*% it and started running with a nice 5:45min/km and i did what my goal was finish under an hour with 58:20.

I'd love to be trained or coached by an expert. Advice and accountability.

I do training like this with a friend of mine too, I usually run backwards in front of her telling her that if I can do this speed backwards then surely she can run faster forwards. Getting her angry by insulting her helps too, anger is a really good motivator to push harder and dig deeper. Thankfully here in Australia parkrun has been back since January, I missed it so much. You guys must be so relieved to have it back finally!

Waited 70 weeks to get back to parkrun Birkenhead, and came away with a Pb of 00-26-30, great start to my birthday weekend 🏃🏻‍♂️🍺

Well done and congratulations Sarah! Looking forward to seeing more of your marathon training journey 🙌🏽

Great job Sarah! Thanks for inspiring myself and many other runners!

It looks extremely warm, great effort Sarah! 🎉🎊🏅

Welcome to the Berkeley Green PB club Sarah. Got mine there just before lockdown 1 - 20:45. One of only 2 occasions that I've been under 21 minutes for 5K.

Love it. I'm a recent inductee to the world of Parkrun. I've only done 3 so far (but 2 in the past 2 weeks!) and I'm eyeing off 25 minutes as my initial goal. Currently nearly 4 minutes shy of that, but at age 54 I have quite a bit of catchup to do. I find pacing myself to be near impossible at this stage, so I've downloaded a training plan (thanks, Running Channel!) and hope that'll help!

I did that park run by accident just before the first COVID lockdown. Me and a mate were heading for the Severn crossing bridge parkrun but due to the flooding the bridge we were going to us was closed. Fortunately this run was close (ish) to the bridge and we made it there with seconds to go by sprinting to the start line. The moment we got to the group the race started and we had to run back up the same road we sprinted down. Needless to say didn’t get a PB nor crossed to Severn but still another Tourist PR done. Well done 👏 and welcome back Parkrun. Been too long.

Congrats, Sarah! Such an inspiration for us average runners looking to improve!

Glad to see your subscriber numbers going up - well deserved

That was good to watch! Well done Sarah. I did my 3rd park run at the weekend. Somewhere new too. And you looked how I felt! But I also managed 40 sec off PB. Using training from TRC. 🥳🥳🥳 Love the channel. Keep up the good work. Have learned so much from all of you.

Well done Sarah! Such a great effort! So nice to see this after getting back into the ParkRun on the weekend. I did Southwark for the first time and or my ParkRuns I find a person around half way who are ahead of me and try and beat them, I usually don't, but quicker strangers keep me going the whole way and they don't even know it.

Well done Sarah!!! You really pushed it towards the end! Andy is fantastic coach:-)

Great stuff Sarah. It was uber hot on Wednesday when you're 'redlining' makes everything more challenging so props to you on such a HUGE PB. I returned to my local parrkun today, Burgess Park. It was more emotional than I thought it would be. People were crying. Super positive vibrations.

I did a park run with my uncle once. Pretty sure it looked something like this, him gently jogging along, taking photos, me giving it my all 🤣

Great running Sarah!! I know that feeling of hating every minute until the end! You did great and have so much more to achieve 💪

Yey! That was exciting to watch! Well Done x

Woohoo Sarah! You did it! And Andy is a great support! Love watching you together.

Great job Sarah!!! It's obvious how hard you pushed through this! You did it!

I miss chasing down a parkrun pb.. that feeling of unrelenting pain in the last km followed by the sense of achievement knowing that right now you're the fastest you've ever been... God damn I miss that. Huge congrats to you!

Excellent effort. Great words from Andy - there's more in the tank than you think. As my 6 year old says during Parkruns: if you can talk, you're not pushing hard enough.

That was awesome to experience with you Sarah, good for you girl! And Andy was such a good pace maker/cheerleader/coach, he really seemed to know how to keep Sarah calm and inspired with what he said and the way he spoke. This was such an incredible team effort but Sarah pulling it right out of the bag at the end with that sprint finish gave me goose bumps 💪🏻

Agreed, the whole cast on this channel strike me as genuinely nice,supportive people.

That is a brilliant improvement! Congratulations! One thing I changed that really helped me was what I do with my arms: I used to swing them across my chest like this but it wasted a lot of energy twisting my torso. I now try to point my arms where I’m going. It may not work for everyone but seems to for me. Marginal gains? Well done again!

Congrats Sarah, you did a great job, so well done !!!

Great job! would love to see a series where you progress and train to a 20min 5k!

Sarah you were amazing 👍Andy your positive reinforcement and attitude is very helpful 🙏

Found myself cheering you on. Great running, Well done!

Way to push through, Sarah, congratulations on your PB!

Fantastic work, Sarah!!!! Well done on the PB - that was clearly hard work (but I suspect you have more to give and an improved PB yet!) I've been training hard and have brought my 5K PB down by 1 minute and 19 seconds to 22:21, but currently have an injury so can't test myself at parkun yet.

Well done Sarah and great mentoring Andy!. I help runners round Burnley Parkrun and helped one of my new runners round to a new pb for himself.

Well done Sarah, great run! With your marathon training, you should find your other times falling a lot further as well because of the solid base that a marathon plan gives you. Looking forward to the next update on that!

I completely, wholeheartedly agree about the mind messages on the way. Congratulations!! Amazing result.

Well done Sarah. What a massive effort. There is nothing average about you, you are incredible.

Another great team up of these 2. I enjoyed it very much. The libe I promise you there's more in the tank was so encouraging

Well done. Good effort. This is why I never understand this phrase people use at the end of a marathon which is, ‘Only a park run to go!’ A flat out 5k is bloody exhausting.

Way to go Sarah. How exciting and it was great to have Andy along for support and as a pacer. I usually start off way too fast and the last kilometer or do can be daunting. Definitely interesting to see how your form and your mental state changed with each kilometer. Congrats again on your PB.
