7. Proper warm up - 1-2km run with strides etc so your body is primed on the start line to run fast

[@runningcafe1]

Excellent additional top tip Conrad, 100% agree with you

[@bardn5350]

I need to break sub 20km again asap, letsss goooo

[@davidpage8147]

Currently my 5k p.b. is 19.21 looking to break into the 18 min bracket now I'm a v50

[@tworunningbrooms]

Good hacks for instant gains. The two fastest parkruns close to you. Lucky.

[@runningcafe1]

Cheers guys. Yeah, quite lucky here down in the south east. I guess it's a bit hillier up there for you two!

[@Purpleleg]

I’m a brand new runner my first 5k is next weekend :)

[@runningcafe1]

Good luck!

Great video Cafe

[@runningcafe1]

Thank you!

[@jamesroberts2147]

Great video, nice meeting you at Seaford parkrun, just finished one behind you.

[@runningcafe1]

Thanks James! It was a pleasure meeting you at Seaford too. Top course and great conditions for it, hope you enjoyed the run

[@jamesroberts2147]

Yes very happy with a sub 18, my 12 year old boy ran a 18:00 at Eastbourne parkrun a few weeks ago, so proud of him, only going to get faster. Great tips.

[@runningcafe1]

@@jamesroberts2147 Wow! 18 minutes for the 5km, at just 12 years old, is absolutely mind blowing. Fair play to your lad mate, he's got a bright future ahead of him in the running space. Great activity to do as a family too

[@jamesroberts2147]

His dream is to go to the Olympics, maybe it could happen.

[@runningcafe1]

@@jamesroberts2147 Incredible mate. Always good to have big dreams and aspirations, good luck to him 🙏
