[@ianwilliams4255]

Done! Followed the eight week programme and this morning ran 5 km without stopping (Sadly no races due to Covid-19). I'm 60 and haven't run since I was 16. Great easy to get into programme THANKS! and I used free version of Strava to track routes and times. I used to hate running - beginning to get into it now. Targeting 10 km next. Adjusted programme in weeks 5 and 7 to match total time indicated.

Week 5 Session 1&3 total time should be 32 mins. Week 7 Session 2 total time adds up to 64 mins. Week 7 Session 1&3 total time adds up to 99 mins. In week 7 according to the video you should do runs exceeding 10km even with low average pace of 8mins/km. In my opinion it is too much for a preparation to a 5km run. Jump in intensity comparing weeks 6 and 7 is really high. Since nobody of GTN answered to the previous comments about this I changed week 7 for myself to: W7S1 57mins: 1x5W + 1x(25J+5W) + 2x(6J+2W) + 1x(4J+2W) W7S2 48mins: 6x(6J+2W) W7S1 57mins: 1x5W + 1x(25J+5W) + 2x(6J+2W) + 1x(4J+2W) This seems reasonable and the intensity increase is maintained accordingly to the previous weeks.

I've never liked running. Though as silly as this may sound, I had a dream in which I was fast at running, my body was light, and lastly I was racing and won! This dream motivates me a lot and that is why I'll be trying to get into running and becoming faster. Not to mention I have always felt like my thighs are literally too heavy because of the 'fat'. I have always felt as if my thighs way me down in almost everything I do. Hopefully this running will tone down my thigh fat. :)

I believe running is about setting goals and accomplishing them. Also it's about proving to yourself that you can do something new and impressive. So with the right willpower, it can be rewarding and relaxing.

Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you because this plan helped me achieve my goal! It didn't only improve my distance, from 3,5 km to 5km, but also my pace, (from 9 to 6, 6:30) and that was really nice progress for me, thank you again🙏

Thanks for this program. When I started it a couple of weeks ago I was totally exhausted after running for 1 minute. Today I did my last run of the program and finished a 5k in less than 25 minutes.

THIS WORKS! 2019 was the last time that I ran a 31min 5k and it was so hard that I had to walk multiple times, I was never able to run nonstop. 2021 came and I started running again in January after being inspired by this video just to try if this really works and it does! I am only in my 7th week and Im already running a PB of 28:31 nonstop 5k. The best running channel out there!

Yes yes yes!! I am into my Week 5 and I can proudly say I have decoded Week 7. There is mistake in week 7 1st n 3rd session. Total time is 55 mins but if you calculate total time then it comes out to be 91 mins. Most of the people asked but nobody from admin commented. So, after proper analysis I realised the right week 7 sessions are as follows: Session 1 & 3: Warm up walk - 5 mins Jog - 25 mins Walk - 5 mins Jog - 6 mins Walk - 6 mins Jog - 6 mins Walk - 2 mins

I just substituted 4j/1w X 4 for myself, but I'm not sure what the actual session should be. Regardless, great video and great plan. Thanks!

[@harlo1622]

To make running fun just run. Start at a pace that is so slow that you can almost walk and eventually you will get faster and faster. Don’t worry about pace or how many weeks before you can run a marathon. I “ran” not “raced” a half marathon after about 2 months. My Garmin and every training plan said I wasn’t ready but I was just fine and didn’t have injuries or a bad experience. The key is to listen to your body, stretch, and just run with no set time, pace, or distance goal.

Thank you. This was helpful. I'm a strength athlete, but I've recently decided to incorporate running. Imagine how shocked I was when I couldn't run consistently for much more than a kilometer.

[@pappamea4750]

Yes. Someone wrote the correct times in the comments

[@kierenkd]

If you are a cyclist, starting running - it is incredibly easy to do too much, too soon as your base cardio fitness is probably excellent but your smaller foot muscles and tendons have a long way to catch up - in particular peroneus brevis / longus, posterior tibialis. A lot of problems can be avoided by having a strong foot arch (which again, might be weak if you don't walk much or wear shoes with arch support). Simply standing on one leg, keeping the weight on the ball of the foot while you brush your teeth is a great way to start building up that arch and avoiding injury. Pullups are also a runners secret weapon. It stretches out the back and works your lats - which control your core and twist as you run - connecting opposite shoulder to hip.

If anybody is wondering if this works for complete beginners ( by that I mean a person who never ran in there lives) it does. Eight weeks ago I could barely jog for a minute, and now I can jog for 40 minutes, I am still not comfortable with it, but I can. You don't have to be perfect, most of the times I couldn't do the workouts perfectly but I did them the best I could, the thing is just don't give up and show up. If I could do it, you can to.

There are people that may not actually be able for that running program so for them they may need to start with a walking program that eases them in. The vast majority of people should be able to do that running program.

[@Pienimusta]

Having good enough strength in basic supporting muscles is super important, especialy glutes. You might survive the 5km easily, but after 10 runs, your knee will be busted.

[@jamesworth6507]

Use athletic tape to put tension on the ridge just below the kneecap while you run.

[@bighands69]

+Peinimusta I would suggest if you are having knee plains that you seek the advice of a doctor. Also you may need to start from a lower position such as doing a lot less. The key to a program like this is the incremental approach and it does state that it is expected that you have a level of fitness to begin with. I would suggest before doing this program start with a walking program that is designed for running so that you can ease your way into it. Most people can do this 8 week program but for some they may require 16 weeks to get started

I feel like I’m inline. But then again... Btw, I used to run competitively in my teens and 20s. But it’s been a couple of decades and I miss it. I have been walking all summer and in August my body just began to take off. But I pulled a glute shortly after and it’s been slow to heal. My shin gets super tight now. Aging sucks! Lol! I am determined to build my endurance and one day finish a half marathon. I’m watching your videos in hopes to get inspired to keep at it. Thank you for making these! 👍🏽

I just went for a run at the park and I died with doing just under 1 mile. Having walked about half or maybe more of it smh. I never liked running , even as a kid in school. Mainly because I feel I run awkward and makes me self conscious. But. I plan on going back maybe Saturday. And hopefully a better environment. Maybe that played some part too. I went to the part where the majority of people were playing soccer or on the playground. And the people who were on the track. Were mostly walking slowly making me stop or slow down often.

I love this. I mean *i hate running but I need to learn how to run so yeah.*

[@MannisshRamjiRathod]

Good information about running

[@gazza2933]

Thank you for this. 👍 🇬🇧

[@Ytchannel02]

This video is PERFECT

[@jonathanzappala]

Anyone else have to read James Joyce “Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man” in school? The only thing I remember from that books is how he was a runner and used the proper form of keeping your arms at your side. Haha

[@therunningguy]

Good information at the start of the video regarding the difference between walking and running feet position. I also add in that's why it's extremely important to build strength in the stabilising muscles of the hip such as glute medes as we come crashing down with no support from the other leg whilst running compared to the walking stride when one foot always remains on the ground, great work guys.

[@abhishekkmalik4399]

Thank's for this awesome video...

[@EarthandStuff]

The math on these session plans is sooo bad LOL. But, the general information is good imo. Thx.

Thank you very much.

You are in Bahrain so you know that 30 min of running equals to 30000 min in another country because of the heat.

Problem with me is that my respiratory system is ahead of my joints. Gonna have to take it easy and do more strength exercising.

[@ayudyashinta4832]

how to do 7x : 2min Walk - 1min Jog? do i have to walk 2 min then run 1 min, then walk again 2 min, then run 1 min, etc...?

'include hills' *Cries in Netherlands*

[@treecek]

There are very few people with a body for running. Maybe 1 out of 30. After about 10-15 years of running, very severe debilitating symptoms will happen. I have been a massage therapist for 21 years, and RUNNING DESTROYS LIVES. It is the cause of the opioid crisis.

[@bighands69]

That is pure nonsense. Running has nothing to do with opioid crisis.

Hi ... it’s been said before but week 7 doesn’t add up? Thanks 😊

[@lawrencesaningo]

It's so great

[@jesspine72]

I can run continuously for 45 minutes but I don’t think I have good form.. hopefully this video can help

[@Ellibal]

Finally i will able to run away from a killer thx

[@Eager2go]

thanks for the video, I have one question and in week 7 none of the sessions add up. Am I missing something?

[@alexandretoledo1708]

no, it's just wrong, but they won't answer you! sorry! am on the same situation...

[@patrickflyer5642]

Great experience, btw are you still running?) I was running for 60 days in a row and just uploaded my video with this challenge, it turned out to be one of the most exciting things I’ve tried out😋😅

I love it, but there are some miscalculations on workout time for Wk 5 and Week 7.

[@caracreech8344]

Hi! I have been enjoying y’all’s channel- thank y’all for the content. My 5K is April 30th. But I am on week 6 of this training- I will finish the training in 2 weeks. That will leave me with 4 weeks before I have the race. What would you recommend I run those 4 weeks? I want to be sure I am still pushing myself. Thanks so much! Blessings.

[@chank1e]

Came back for the comments after running week 7 day 1.. 🤣

[@stueyd]

@global triathlon network the plan for week 7 doesn't add up for the three workouts. It looks like the warm down runs on #1 and #3 are off a d #2 just doesn't add up

[@stueyd]

any update 6 weeks away now.............and counting

[@SEFR7337]

I'm stuck at Week 3 and can't progress. I can't run more than 5 min. at a time without losing my breath and switching to a walk. Even if I try not to go too fast, I can't seem to run longer without my lungs rebelling. Do I just power through it anyway? Even if I'm gasping for air? Week 4 - Session 1 requires an 8 min. jog and I can't do it. I've been stuck at Week 3 for almost a month.

[@SEFR7337]

@@FiveSevenLegend Thanks for the tip. Nice to know I'm not the only one who plateaued at Week 3. I'm maybe an inch ahead of you. I can handle the sets of 5 min. running. But when I have to go 8 min. I can't do it yet. Like you said, I'll keep working on it an not get frustrated, even though friends of mine who I thought were not as fit, completed their training according to this timetable.

[@slom123434]

@@SEFR7337 Me too. It's Seems like there is gap between week 2 and 3. I don't know what to do:(

Hey, thanks! What should be the rest between sessions? :)

[@lucassantana6993]

challenge accepted!!!

[@dutchdollar]

What do you advice for keeping track of the minutes in the programme, just a watch and keep track of the minutes yourself or some kind of stopwatch? Or is there maybe some sort of watch/app which you can enter your programme in before hand?

[@eratonysiad2582]

In Week 3, for the 40 minute session it says to include hills. Is this a requirement, because I live in the Netherlands, so that's gonna be a challenge for me?

[@lukasg9031]

update ?
