23 to 17 minute 5K: How I ran faster in 4 years

[@JhonCosgrove]

An honour to be a part of this awesome journey! JOG ON WITH HARRY MORGAN!! PS: Sorry for shouting that every time I see someone in an orange shirt :)

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

You’re a legend Jhon!

[@AVS_uk]

You're ace, Jhon

[@AaronElsworth]

Great running both! I spotted a Jog On orange top at the Petts Wood 10k a couple of weeks back...I held back from shouting JOG ON WITH HARRY MORGAN but in my head admittedly mimicked Harry's distinctive voice 🤣

[@sonicwind1901]

Watching this made me emotional. I ran 16:08 in high school and then more or less stopped running after that I started running again about 2 year ago after a 15 year hiatus. 100 pounds heavier I couldn't even complete a 5k without walking much less finish sub 40min. 2 years later I've dropped 50+ pounds , my time is down to 21:55 and I am 7 weeks out from my first Marathon attempt (hoping for sub 4hr). This really made me want to keep pushing and after my marathon get that sub 20 min 5k. Way to go Harry thanks for the inspiration

[@clarity2115]

Wow! I have a similar story as you. Wishing you the best luck on your journey. I'm 4 months back starting from 258lbs down to 233 now, was able to slowly plod through a half marathon yesterday

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing to read. The comebacks are some of my favourite stories. Thank you for always being there to watch a JOG ON video when I publish and wishing you all the best with your running. Superb stuff. H

[@9EDdie4]

Hi 😊 How much do you reckon weight loss improves running times?

[@sonicwind1901]

@9EDdie4 I mean running is about consistency and training but weight makes a big difference just because that's more you have to carry. Every extra oz is a pound every 16 steps that you have to lug with you. So I think training is more important but yeah I have notice weight loss is a big deal.

[@9EDdie4]

@@sonicwind1901 Thanks for your reply. Training is the most important, but at the same time I think many people underestimate the influence extra weight has on running times.

[@lmack6596]

I love that this journey was in years! (And not something unrealistic to the masses like months or weeks)

[@thisisjogon]

The truth is, it's a slow process, but if you stick at it, the results can come

[@Stevenc1984]

Awesome stuff Harry - truly inspiring! On my way back from injury myself, getting closer to my 5k pb (20:59) with every parkrun, then going to break the sub20 barrier!

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing, keep it up and be consistent. Thank you for supporting and watching the JOG ON videos

[@KM-tl6gt]

This was more inspirational than I expected. I'm trying to get my 5k back under 30 mins after an ankle fracture at the start of the summer. Will be more patient with myself now!

[@thisisjogon]

Patience is helpful, wishing you a good recovery

[@jonl2938]

Inspiring video and congrats on the PB. My wife and I are on the road to sub-20 in our 40s. It’s a tale of 2 very different athletes. She was a sub-20 5k runner in cross country races in high school, I played football (American) and weightlifted competitively. Decided to pick up running 18 months ago and we’ve got ourselves down around 22 min now. I seem to struggle more with breathing and heart rate, she struggles more with the speed required. Biggest help in speed has been doing more mileage via long easy runs (and helps reduce pain and injuries in our old bodies). Maybe sub-20 in 2025 for us, it’s definitely a journey to get there!

[@ConorMcGrath]

I think there's a lot to consider. I'm older ..just turned 52. Running economy, running form at different paces, good leg strength, good core strength, good upper body strength, good flexibility, good base mileage (Zone 2/3 HR) + cross training as needed. The most important thing is knowing how to recover and backoff training as needed - that can be Zone 1 HR runs even if you are eager to go out/a walk for a few miles is excellent too. The degree of work needed for these areas depends on your current state. It takes effort and some learning to figure these out with coaches, physios and podiatrists. For me this all has to be very progressive to remain injury free - none of not being able to function for days after a ridiculous strength session. In reality the 'honest' training I did as a youngster is off the table ;-) I think Harry's 4 years journey was packed with excellent aerobic development and that consistency really laid the platform to improve. I'm getting back running from some nasty calf strains after adjusting my gait for speed (trying to run middle distance track) - I'm running more miles on grass than road and adding strides - extra strength work and ankle strength/stability for free. I'll likely start running 5km parkruns as a tempo run (Zone 4 HR lactate) to see how I improve and keep strengthening up recovering calf muscles. I might squeeze in a cross country race.

[@thisisjogon]

For me, long easy running has been a game changer. Wishing you every success. Thank you all 🎉

[@hamba1998]

Huge congratulations Harry! I've been a subscriber for about a year I think, so wasn't aware of some of the history in your running journey. I started running on Boxing Day 2018, doing my first parkrun in May 2019 in 21:10. Last weekend I ran a PB of 17:08, and am hoping to dip below that 17 minute mark by the end of the year. If you fancy a fast Northern parkrun, you can't go much better than Hull - I'd be delighted to help pace and support if you're ever here!

[@thisisjogon]

Loved having you for a year so far and well done on some smashing running

[@Deano_MOOD]

Your journey towards running sub 18 was rather inspiring for me, as someone who is longing to run sub 17 for 5km. You can achieve it eventually if you work for it!

[@thisisjogon]

Inspiring words

[@daysandwords]

Always the most inspiring videos. At 37, well off my PB of 21:50 at 30 years old, this makes me think I can one day break 20. Thanks Harry.

[@thisisjogon]

With the dedication, discipline and consistency - it's absolutely possible. H

[@Gran_Torino]

Nice to see people similar to me posting vids like this. My PR is 17:45 in 5k. When I see super skinny runners posting about times like sub 15 or even 14 it seems more unrealistic unless you're super strict on your diet, sleep etc. Which is difficult with small kids at home, a full time job and honestly a need, or at least wish, to enjoy myself on weekends and on holidays etc. But recently I've increased my milage and do around 70-80 km a week, with around 1/3-1/2 harder runs of different distances, that's helped a lot!

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks for sharing. JOG ON celebrates every speed and the desire to improve. Well done on a great pr

[@davidnewman7934]

Nice one man, I hit 16:53 a few weeks ago at Poole Park (Park run), I'd really recommend it if you've not run there before, think you're fairly local. If you need a pacer for 17:30 please feel free to give me a shout

What a guy

[@ashleymiddlewick5322]

Absolutely brilliant - congratulations Harry!!! thoroughly well deserved PB. My nemisis is the sub-60 minute 10-miler. I've been close for the last 6 or 7 years (clocking several sub-62's but never quite managing to break the hour). The last year my speed and mojo have dropped. 'I'm not in the right place mentally'. 'I've lost my speed and am too old'. Did The Great South Run last weekend in 1.01.56 (was expecting 63-64 minutes) and the belief has returned :) . Keep the inspirational videos coming bud!!!

[@thisisjogon]

Keep the belief alive! I was there myself Ashley and ran 62:13 so we must have been extremely close to one another - insider information: I'll likely look to go for the sub 60 next year at GSR, so maybe you can join for it! H

[@ashleymiddlewick5322]

That's mental - less than 30 seconds apart!!! Did you start in the Elite Wave? I'd absolutely love pairing up with you for a sub-60 attempt - just don't expect much in the way of conversation during the event (I don't have your ability of running hard and having a conversation at the same time). Will be in touch nearer the time mate@@thisisjogon

[@thisisjogon]

Keep pushing, much is possible

[@inconspicuous45]

This video was great for me because I am in high school, going into sophomore year, and my 5K is right about 23 flat. I also hope to break 18, but I’m trying to do it before graduation, so I only have 3 years. It’s going to be hard, but I hope I can keep putting the work in and make it.

[@Superman91742]

I believe that you can do it. Going in from freshman year last year, my pr was 19:30. At the end of this season sophmore year, I have cut that down two minutes to 17:30. It should be easier for you to cut down your time since the slower you are the easier it is to get faster. I think that if you work hard each season and run a little bit in the winter you could definitely go sub 20 sophmore year, and then sub 19:30 senior year. I have another sophmore who originally ran 23 and this year is now in the 18s

[@inconspicuous45]

Great effort and persistence! Well done! This made me smile. I managed a 20:56 5Km on St. Patrick's day at 51. I had hoped to smash 20. All I managed after that was injury trying to live past glories...I ran a 14:36 for 3 miles when I was 17 and I always considered myself an 800/1500 runner. My steady runs were at 3:45 and faster per km into my early 20's before injury ended my running. I'm a mere mortal now building strength, flexibility, fixing form and eating much humble pie! 🙂

Welling up here watching this one!!- if I ever I needed this video it was now! I found running later in life and started at the first ever lockdown (feels like a lifetime ago). I shed a huge amount of weight, fell in love with running and got consistent. I felt like I found the secret to a healthy life. That’s when I started watching your videos!a few years later and I ran a 30k costal run with some friends and felt complete off, next day I tested positive for covid and suffered some side effects that lasted months. After a few failed attempts I’m starting once again, it feels like starting from the beginning. It’s been tough, it’s been disheartening however I’m at my chapter one stage and am more determined than ever to get my weekly km up and fall in love with running again!

Love your videos!🙌 this one piqued my interest as I'm currently battling to get my time 5k time below 23 minutes before the end of 2023. It's currently at 23.03 achieved in July - am really hoping it doesn't take 4 years to go faster. Though I am aiming for a humble 22.59 - not a 17 min epic sprint 🤣. Big up to Steve Morgan's legendary cameos - am an avid Strava follower of his 😁. Keep the videos and podcasts coming - the honesty about how much running can HURT really helps!!

Thank you Jennie! Legendary, eh? 😂🧡

[@TheHeggleton]

@@stevemorgan3911 Don't tell Harry, but you're the real star 🤫😜

Very nicely done, Harry. Jhon paced it to perfection. Fantastic journey back from your horrible injury to now running better than ever. Don't stop there!

[@thisisjogon]

Jhon was excellent, cheers for following the journey

[@John00000040]

[@thisisjogon]

Glad you enjoyed it

Truly inspirational Harry! I was watching your videos with a broken ankle not too long ago. I'm going to work harder at getting my 5k to 25 minutes and my 10k to sub-55 minutes.

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing Andy, keep it up.

[@mikeyt7052]

Great stuff Harry, I fully ruptured me ankle two years ago and after a long process I’m finally back, did a duathlon recently To test my fitness and it wasn’t good, however it’s time to get back to old ways!

[@thisisjogon]

Great to read that you're that back to it, all the best in your return journey Mike

[@pauljaffray6437]

Well done, Harry. Can't wait until I see 17 mins. Maybe in a couple of years 🙂.

[@thisisjogon]

All the best with it and thanks for watching/commenting

[@relaxreflect5888]

My park run on is 28:30 😢 I bet you could walk faster than that but hey, we are all on our own journeys, keep up the great work my mate 👍🏻

[@twentysix.2]

exactly!! go get that sub 25 !

[@thisisjogon]

Not at all, I paced someone just recently to break inside 30 and you're a full 90 seconds up on that. Be dedicated and consistent, the times will come

[@Mark_Gibson]

What a journey, brilliantly told, and what a fantastic achievement - well done Harry! Goosebumps moment as you crossed the line there - great to see you smashing your goal 🏁🌟 I’ve faced a similar downturn in fitness since my twins were born - this has genuinely inspired me that I *can* return to PB territory with the right training and motivation. My sons’ first junior parkrun this weekend has also kicked me into action - an emotional moment to see them both crossing the line with smiles on their faces 😁😁

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing to read. Keep at it and PB zone will return. All the best in your journey and thank you for watching

[@gmicallef1]

It was an absolute epic journey and a very happy result in the end......❤

[@jonathanperkin]

Brilliant Harry, well done! So so good when all the hard work pays off. Dare to dream of a 16:xx?

[@thisisjogon]

Dare to dream indeed Jonathan. More on the way

[@francolive5718]

Awesome work I just did my first Parkrun since my Achilles injury!

[@thisisjogon]

Great, well done and wishing you well with the comeback

[@gordonway5631]

Brilliant, awesome, Harry you deserve this for all that hard effort you’ve put in. 17.30 is out there for you, I’m sure if that.

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers Gordon, great to see you recently at GSR
