First Race in 6 months. How fast can I run in a 5k?

[@minoua]

You and your wife are big inspirations for me. I only started running last year but I’ve already decreased my 5k PB by 4 and 1/2 minutes! I wish you both the best!!

[@natenapoli1846]

I’m injured right now and it feels weird not running with my team, instead I’m biking ahead of them. I relate to what you said at the beginning of the video. Best of luck!

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Keep going! It’ll be your turn soon 👀🙏🏼

[@LGruns423]

I’m doing the same! I hurt my calves so I’ve been having to do mostly cross training😢

[@Bruh168]

haha im stuck to biking too its such a pain 😭 havent raced in 8 months bruh

[@natenapoli1846]

@@Bruh168I haven’t raced in 8 months either lol, it be like that sometimes. Hope you get better!

[@RonanRuns]

Yeah, I'm dealing with Achilles problems, been forced to do 25 miles a week for four weeks now😭

[@mitchelldervin8979]

Honestly bro I’m in the same spot, had injuries and a sh*t outdoor season but still just running to sort of train. It’s totally different but a humbling experience that I believe every run goes thru

I believe this to be true!!!

[@JoelJamesJeans]

He’s gonna break the sub 2 hour marathon

What event?

[@svpisaac]

Yeah no East Africans own the medals already

[@BrianTorres-theRunner]

which event though?

[@panosedits]

Wow, doing 15:17 for a 5k and saying it was light work is unbelievable 😮💯 Keep it up man 🔝🔝

[@lean2281]

It isn't hard when you weigh 130 pounds

[@panosedits]

@@lean2281 Trust me bro it is. He may be 130lbs but he has the perfect body for long distances and you can't do 15min 5ks just because of your body. This guy has put lots of work in his training to be able to do it so easily

[@RandyTheRunner]

@@lean2281stop hating cause you know that’s not true

[@lean2281]

@@RandyTheRunner 1.5 seconds quicker per mile for every pound loss. Look it up

[@Bweyg]

Not to mention on an uphill, which is much more difficult. Most people can barely run that speed for a mile on a track, let alone in a 5k on a hill.

[@Cubinginatree]

Great work man!! I’m 14 and you’re a big inspiration to me! I have a 5k next Sunday and I’m hoping to break 20 minutes. Hopefully I can break 19 minutes in the XC season(as a freshman).

Yes sir. I feel the good energy and hope for future runs trough both the storytelling and the editing. Wishing u the best, keep it up A

[@jordanross634]

I've been eyeing that 5k for a while now because of how fast it is. Lots of other 5ks around Utah that I've seen aren't as competitive. That one is quick. Great race! You and Ottesen are legends!

[@Arr-runz]

YOU GOT THIS ADAM! Love you bro!

[@AdamWoodRuns]

[@miller.upton08]

Happy for you to be back racing. I’m currently getting over an injury and it taught me to not take running healthy for granted. You are a real encouragement.

[@bjs3951]

Rooting for you, Adam. Came across your channel recently and it’s great to see just another authentic guy (and your wife) just doing what they love and chasing goals! Keep it up, man.

[@eddiegaul1903]

Love seeing the racing content and mixing it with the local crowd! I live in Salt Lake so it is cool to watch just how many talented runners we have in the area. I was slated to do the Sandy City 5K but the day didn't work out for me. I hope you continue to race -- the local races are just nice dress rehearsals for the real thing. And I agree, attempting to qualify by using 4 marathons in a year is definitely taxing. I had marathon fever one year and ran 9 in 12 months and my times got progressively worse. Looking forward to your content!

[@DanielNowak-xj5oc]

Awesome 👍😎💯 race you did great for your first race back in like 6 months ! Congratulations Adam !

[@oshinofalakoju5749]

You're amazing!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Super inspiring as someone who wants to get back into racing more consistently.

Oh...I have a super barber, Artem, who is the best of the best. I'll fly him out there for a summer cut. My treat!!!! Thank you both, as always.

Loving the content. Would love a collab with Philly Bowden she's maybe there for altitude training too.

[@victorhanley623]

awesome video sir

[@ShaneRuns]

Awesome race, definitely quick competition for a road 5k. Going barefoot in the gym (socks/yoga socks) might help a little with the foot strength/pain. Losing the shoes while lifting has been a game changer for my plantar fasciitis issues.

[@LinkletterRory]

The comeback will be LEGENDARY

[@LeilaWC-nu5jg]

[@AriannaCartagena]

[@oshinofalakoju5749]

Also if you or Mica ever in NYC can you host a run club meetup or something? I think that'd be so much fun!!

Can’t wait for adam to start his videos off with I’m a 2:17 marathoner

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Hopefully faster than that 🥲

[@ADuckOnQuack97]

Damn. Big inspo. I was never that fast in high school but had decent speed. ironman training has killed any tempo I once had…not to mention weight lol. Hoping I could do a sub 18 5k again soon

Hello Adam. I have been running for 8 months now, But I have progressed quite well (see I am only 14 y/o) I got my 5km pb from 22: 30 to 17: 47 from starting to my 4th month. I huge part of my training has been using a resistance bands to stretch my hamstrings, this has benefited me hugely and I very much recommend trying this. One of the best ones to use is stretches band from locker room fitness. My dad is a physio and he treats numerous runners all with tight hamstrings, fixing this makes their running feel smoother, makes them less prone to injuries and most importantly faster. Please try this if you aren’t already. Also congrats on the 5k

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Thanks for the tip!

Im a 5k person. I find speed workouts fun, long distance is not my thing bc I dont enjoy it.
