5K Trial Time Before Running Training Starts

Back at my local parkrun, littlehampton prom. My best time on this course is 18:34 set last year, this year I’ve run 18:47. Can I run a 5k parkrun PB just 4 weeks after running the Brighton Marathon?

Glad you’re still continuing with KZbin, really enjoy watching your videos

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Thanks Michael, appreciate it

[@bensmith6633]

Good to hear we will be seeing more content 👍. Good luck with smashing your 5k time💥💥

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Cheers Ben👊 I hope all is going well for you

[@MarkSmith_Best-Athletics]

Glad that you're sticking around 👍 Really enjoy your content 🙂 especially seeing as you are a similar age and very similar pace to myself (your current 5k times a little quicker). Marathon and 10k are the two events that I am furthest away from doing myself justice in and those are the main distances that I am targeting, starting at Copenhagen Marathon in two weeks. I find the Marathon the hardest distance to crack too but I'm not going to give up with trying to smash one yet. Great to hear your thoughts onnthe new 361 Flame shoes earlier too.

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Cheers Mark👊 Best of luck with Copenhagen, please let me know how you get on

[@no_excuses]

Thanks for your update Chris, it would be great to plan a run and a catch-up when time allows👍

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Definitely Keri

[@stevengrimley]

Love the videos glad you are continuing!

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Thanks Steven, appreciate it

[@TheRichKeeble]

Well done Chris! Glad you’re continuing cos I certainly watch a lot of your videos! I had a pretty good Manchester but I think I’m also going to focus on 5/10Ks the rest of the year! Keep it up x

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Thanks Rich. Glad your marathon went well. Marathon’s definitely take over our lives for months! 5-10k 👍👊

[@andrewforsyth4799]

Weldone mty keep doing the y tube as I'm following your progress ,I'm back doing parkruns again and enjoying them, hope to break 2o mins again

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Best of luck breaking 20 mins again Andrew

[@TriToBeIron]

Good to see you back...Not a bad benchmark that!

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Cheers 👊

[@TimGrose]

Good to see you running and vlogging again. Yeah hamstrings problem as we get older. Done mine again. So will the Mizunos come out again for your next fast parkrun ?

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Flat out = break! Definitely give them a try. They wasn’t faster when I last used them but it was only 2 weeks after Brighton

[@vickyshaw1709]

Glad to hear you will carry on with the videos 😊 I'm with you, definitely prefer shorter races. I've done 2 HM and not sure I'd do another and have no interest in running a marathon at all !! Good luck with your 5k training 👍

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Thanks Vicky. Glad I’m not the only one. I’m definitely not doing another marathon but I said that after London.

[@kathyrunsaround3393]

If you enjoy the shorter faster distances then that is definitely the way to go. As for KZbin and having a full time job, just make videos you enjoy and when you want. Don' t let it become a chore.

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Thanks Kathy. You’re right, YT Is just a hobby

[@bev9708]

Yep onwards and upwards Chris!! Run happy is my motto so yes indeed run what makes you happy!!! I might have asked you this before but do you follow Brodie Sharpe’s Run Smarter podcast and videos?? An Aussie physiotherapist who focuses exclusively on runners and evidence-based guidance, i.e. science!! He is a godsend, sure wish I’d found him sooner!!! Thanks to him in many ways, I’m happily full on training for my first ever 50k fast approaching, and very excited!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@ThatRunningGuy]

I’ve not but will definitely check it out, thanks. All the best for your 50k 👊

[@bev9708]

@@ThatRunningGuy THANKS so much!!! Only 6 weeks to go!!

[@Stevenc1984]

Glad you've decided to carry on with the videos, you've been the voice I've needed during the Spring marathon season "...5 & 10k's are more fun" 😂 I've been inspired to incorporate Parkrun in to my Saturday morning runs too. It's hard not to go all out on them though! I'm failing miserably at holding back. Keep up the good work!

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Thanks Steven, appreciate it. Re parkrun I found that being a pacer most weeks whether it sub 20,21,22 helps hold me back…plus it’s so rewarding to help others achieve their goals

[@Stevenc1984]

@@ThatRunningGuy Great suggestion, I'll probably give that a go!

[@pranayama-running-Jendrik]

I‘m absolutely sure that you can 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ThatRunningGuy]

👊 Not quite there yet

[@benhorley2354]

I'm glad you let me cross the line 1st 😂. I was trying to encourage you to join me for my tik tok clip 😂I'm pleased you decided to carry on with KZbin it's always nice to watch and hear your opinion on things. Looking forward to the battles over the summer

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Tik Tok clip whilst running a fast parkrun 🤣…I was 🤪 Definitely looking forward to our battles 👊

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Let was definitely the wrong word 🤣🤪

[@Shevock]

I'm much slower, but I'm also focusing on the 5k for the rest of the year after this week's half marathon. Everybody can benefit from speed development.

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Longer race’s definitely aren’t fun in the summer

[@DanRuns]

First!
