Can I Run a 5k Under 15 Minutes?

[@allie_ostrander]

The legend is cemented 🥵

[@PatNeedhamUSA]

Would be a fun experiment to replace the carbon fiber plates in super shoes with cement plates and see what effect that has

[@Hensley_Jb]

The legend has a fan😳

[@infovidasupps8640]

NOOOoooooooo Don’t end the Local Legend Series 😢

[@infovidasupps8640]

So impressive!! Seriously I am almost speechless Congrats man that is truly awesome

[@Skippygoesharder]

@@infovidasupps8640 no best way to close it! Now to get back to the track stuff for sub 14

[@xctrackrunnerboi6298]

Hey Spence, this is Markus and I just wanted to say thanks for coming over for Renton Parkrun! You are just as cool IRL and I hope you get even better times, hope we can see you run again and even break the course record that you set! 🎉🎉🎉

[@rasher331]

Hi Marcus, I thought you were the cool one there. xxx

[@GarbageGamer-fz8tz]

Bro you fr the goat

[@phosphoruschannel4277]

BRO that’s lowkey insane in 10 weeks good shit

[@saljablo2767]

10 weeks for an elite athlete already in top 1% shape isn’t insane. For a high level athlete that’s already “in shape”, it takes about 1-3 weeks to get back into form.

[@marco3391]

@@saljablo2767that’s why he said lowkey 🤓

[@remyy111]

@@saljablo2767 what do you mean

[@AndresVieyraOficial]

What a finale for The Local Legend series! Insane fitness for only 10 weeks of training👏🏼

[@HedenCop]

Proof Spence is always better when he's having fun with running! Keep grinding bro, enjoy the process

[@davidleonard37]

Always love that runner who goes out like and Olympic athletie and then realises what's after happening to them. Love the enthusiasm.

[@troyhkilgore498]

Congrats, Spencer! Hope to see you and Allie back in Boulder sometime soon.

[@Bweyg]

7th. No spoilers prediction for me will be 14:50 for a 5k. Edit: Let's goooo, sub 15 man! Maybe you can see about maybe completing the 13:59 project?! I would love to see that. It also inspired me to go for the 17:59 project for the 5k as I'm going for in this season. It's my last high school XC season so I would LOVE to have a 5k time with a 17 in front of it! Let's goo Spence!

[@paxundpeace9970]

To go from 14:50 down to 14:20 is probably easier then getting from 14:20 further to sub 14:10. At some point it is getting extremly difficult

[@Bweyg]

@@paxundpeace9970 I don't know about that, maybe going from 14:20 to 13:59 or faster is harder, but not 10 seconds, espesically when the world record is 12:35. In a 5k, 10 seconds is a pretty good amount to improve on, without it being too difficult unless it's in the 13 minute range, then 10 seconds is a pretty big deal. Now going from a 4:50 to sub 4:20 mile is easier than 4:20 to sub 4:10 in a mile, that's more accurate.

[@cicirunner]

Finale? The local legend never quits. You should do a relay race as an anchor.

[@musclelessfitness2045]

cicirunner might be the true local legend.

[@Jtexy]

Amazing effort Spencer!! Props to Awesome Alex that sign was fantastic. Keep on Parkrunning Spencer to encourage your compatriots to get involvddy

[@zaneclone]

Mission accomplished... a true legend... and sub 15 Park-Run... Next stop... who knows... but it'll be fun watching... :)

[@evangrip4618]

The weather gods have no power over the Local Legend and his superfans 💪🏼

[@nancycarleton3064]

Great Job!!! Sitting on the edge of the seat for the last minute! Amazing progression - I might just go back and re-watch them all - good motivation!

[@mariahybinette5376]

WOW great grand finalee!!! Congrats!!! Can't wait for the world series!

Since you ARE a Legend; I had you on the 65''and quite Impressive! You really Are a Rain City Flyer~ ( It looked like a bit of hail during that drench) All the best of Luck to our other competitor! I'm really excited for her and all the people who support her including me~~~

[@micahtrailrunner]

I loved the old man running in the first mile.

[@Boomaroo96]

I used to run this trail daily and he was always out there!

[@petewilcock]

Adorable supporter on the day. How cool to inspire young kids like that.

[@mikestevenson1334]

Amazing time, Spence! You keep pushing the fitness to the max =D loved it. No rain can slow you down!

Dude, that was clutch effort at the finish. Way to go!

[@CocoisQueen1]

Hey Spencer I just wanted to say that if y ever come to the UK and are near St Albans, u should try the verulamium park parkrun. It is on grass and is kinda like a cross country course. I just wanted to say this bc it is a bit different from other parkruns because it is on a course that has been used for cross country before

[@FlekaZzz]

Great work. I just hit a new PB in Aarhus half maraton this weekend at a time of 1.28.24. :D

[@timothymyszak1163]
