Hi Harry can you tell me how to get a sub 20:30 5k?

[@grantmckay7014]

​@@RhysRuns- run run run. At 49, I have taken my PB from 21:00 to 17:49 simply by running more. Around 90-100km per week.

[@RhysRuns]

@@grantmckay7014 thanks but I don’t think a 10 year old can run that far in a week

It's good to see a massive new PB in the super shoes, but your fitness and training have helped as well. I have no doubt you will dip into the 17's very soon. PS love the artistic end to the video

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers for watching Graham 🔥

[@hamba1998]

Well done Harry! My current PB in non-carbon shoes is 18:41, so almost identical to what you had. I've resisted switching to 'super-shoes' so far, but maybe the time is coming. I did set a new 2-mile PB on Tuesday though, so maybe there's still some time in the legs before looking at equipment.

[@thisisjogon]

Awesome Andrew - keep it up

Well done Harry on your PB, I’ve a pair of Saucony carbon’s and they’ve knocked my park run times from mid 28 to 26.05, although I feel that carbons don’t give you much back on trail park runs, such as my home which you ran a couple of weeks ago, Moors Valley.

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers Gordon keep it up 🏃‍♂

[@heathenstrengthtraining3059]

Loving the Videos Harry, Very inspirational. I'm just re-beginning my running journey after being out of action for almost 10 years thanks to a fractured spine, which lead to arthritis and degenerative spine disease. I have joined a running club, and booked myself on a 5 mile league race, even though i haven't actually completed a 5k parkrun nonstop for almost a year, as i had a few other niggling issues, and i lost a lot of progress through the winter months. I also gained a couple of stone too. I want to beat my previous PB of 28:31 which was actually done jeffing the parkrun. I am determined at some point, that i will get sub 22, and i will NOT stop until i get there.

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing to read and yes absolutely - keep pushing! All the best

Congratulations on the new PB Harry! So proud of your hard work returning from your foot injury, it’s very inspiring. I just finished a similar journey this past Thursday.

[@nickbell6435]

This is the thing with carbon shoes - they reward the good efforts, so you train hard, you get fast, you slip on the fast shoes and you can’t decouple the big effort from your body from your shoes. I’ve done easy runs in shoes with high end mid soles or carbon plates and been no where, but when you dial it up they give you back what you put in!

[@thisisjogon]

A great insight - you're right there's a lot of factors at play

[@jakestewart7204]

Congratulations! That sub 18 is not going to be far away. Need to visit Exmouth soon

[@DeDoentje]

I ran for years on New Balance 880 V(add number). At the end of this march 2023 I started to run on Hoka One One Mach 5 and in one week I broke my PB on the 10km and on the 10 miles. I thought: Is it really because of the shoes? Or is it more like: "I have new shoes, so I must run fast". What also was a factor that there was a strong wind in the back when I ran the 10. The 10 miles was a round with very little wind. Both days I didn't felt very well. Especially on the 10k. But with the wind and the shoes I felt I ran the 10km on a racing bike, while I ran all my runs before on a touring bike. So, even though I din't felt very well, I could maintain a fast pace. The 10 miles I started too quick, as I was a bit scared to collapse, as I did last year. Between 6km and 9km I really started to slow down, but I didn't collapse and after that I gained speed again, as the route went back in the builded area and also the 5 miles and 10 miles merged. Therefore I was suddenly running in a huge crowd of people. I was constantly speeding up to run through gaps. The finish was a straight line for a km, so you could see the finish-line from very far. It was a proper pr. 10km was 41:20 minutes over 10.04km. (My previous time was 41:06, but the distance was just 9.96km. So that was a crooked PR). 10miles is now 1:09:32hour over 16.13km. (My previous pr on a 10 miles I ran during a halve marathon 1:09.56hour.) The weeks after that I felt that my legs where pretty busted up. More than my previous shoes. Hm.

[@Pothi90]

Started running in October 2022 and since then I am thinking about wearing carbon shoes. As I felt silly running 26minutes parkruns in carbon shoes I decided to wait with the purchase. Three weeks ago I managed my first sub 22 and decided to set a goal of 18:30 PB to justify the purchase. I know I need to be patient but it's giving me a goal to work for 😊

[@thisisjogon]

Awesome to read. Keep pushing and enjoy it

[@harrymarv]

A sub 20 is a solid goal, Not that I'm an expert but a bit of runner to runner advice/opinion, I can comfortably run a sub 22, and a sub 21 with a hard effort but the sub 20 hasnt been done yet (PB 20:07) I can't imagine a sub 18:30 at the moment, so if I was you I'd aim for the elusive sub 20 and then take it from there 👍

[@martincosby9743]

Wow, well done! I have been experimenting with carbon shoes as well, but personally I really don't think they make much difference, at least at my kind of level. In my view it is more down to the new foams which have been developed. The main benefit, I feel, is that my legs don't feel as trashed after a race or harder training session.

For a long time I raced in the Zoom Fly Flyknit, which although technically did have a carbon plate they used React foam, which is certainly not a super foam. It's still a fairly fast lightweight shoe though and will outlast it's ZoomX equivalent. I've recently gone over to the dark side though (although just for races right now) yet to run a 5k but hopefully a mix of better shoe and overall improvement should see me PB next time. Well done on your PB! Remember although they may be fast shoes you did the running, without you in them they're stranded on the start line.

Nice and boingy but you're not too far off the ground (I am clumsy and prone to turning my ankle).

I think runners of all standards have felt this Kathryn, I think it's a personal choice, and we all know that there is no substitute for simply building a vast aerobic base through training. My understanding is any pivot still works through the link. Appreciate you asking.

Like you I'm trying to get sub 18 and an age grading over 80% (I'm 49 on Saturday). 18:12 last Saturday and my local is a slightly overlong all light trail parkrun. In firm conditions carbon plates work well for me there and I have a rotation of Puma nitro deviate elite, Vapourfly 2 and Endorphin pro 3 (which I haven't tested yet). Let's see who gets there first!

[@davidarroyo8895]

I've tested my 5k time many times in carbon vs regular shoes. The carbon shoe definitely makes a difference but is very very small (5-10 sec). Too much money for 5secs, I think, but I keep going back to the carbon shoe. Maybe it makes a bigger difference at longer distances...

[@thisisjogon]

I've found something similar, it seems to give me about 15-20 seconds at best over 5K, but it's often hard to say

Genuinely didn’t think trainers would make a difference. Then a Parkrun partner came to my local Parkrun yesterday. I signed up to try a pair of their trainers after watching this video this week (not Hoka). Finally went sub 21mins in a Parkrun and took 22 seconds off my Parkrun PB. Looks like I need to invest more in my running shoe.

Harry, what’s your best piece of advice for someone who needs at good time at a 5k with absolutely no prior training? I am 22 years old and haven’t ran in 4 years. I made a bet with my coworker that I could run a certain time just off sheer will with no training whatsoever. Any advice on prepping for this? Also if you think this is silly, I completely understand. But it won’t stop me. Lmk, thanks.
