This Is What A Sub 30 Minute 5k Looks Like

[@TischTosh]

Thanks for looking out for those of us who are NOT going for a sub 3hr Marathon!😂🎉 Anna is an experienced runner, having her break this down with tips is great!

[@50Something]

Absolutely! Content for the average runner is really appreciated!

[@yezansalam4335]

Love that you can actually play this video during your own 5k and get a sub 30 5k if you follow along

[@jaynequoiani9518]

What a great idea!!!

[@manusiadurjana]

I'd first started about just about over a year ago. My body weight was 175kg. My 5k target at that time was under an hour, progress to sub 50, sub 45, and sub 40. My next target is sub 35 (almost had it last weekend, missed by 30 seconds). It maybe slow to most runners, but for me, it is a huge achievement. Apart from that I'd also planned to run my half marathon sub 2h50m (did 2h55 earlier this month)

[@burgerkingbub]

Thats a wonderful achievement! You must have worked really hard for that progress

[@Cloppa2000]

The great 30 minute barrier. It took me ages to overcome it. Now I’m closer to 20. That seemed impossible once. It’s amazing what we can achieve. This great channel has been a big part of my progress ❤

@@mleonards 4 years

[@toby9999]

​​@@mleonardsI'm guessing age and weight would be significant factors? I used to run sub 5k/20, 10k/40 and a 95 min half marathon in my 20's... now in my 60s after decades of not running... I'm hoping to run a little, but I'd be elated if I could run 5k/40. It's a 2024 goal.

[@AgnesN]

Thank you, this comment gives me hope! My first running goal was to reach sub 30 5K as well. It was a new year's resolution of 2018 for me, but after ticking that off, I somehow I just stuck to my usual chill runs with much slower 5Ks. Which was fun, but after a while I let myself believe I was not even capable of more. Only in recent years I have discovered how much motivation races give me and I realized I AM capable of more. 20 min still seems impossible to me, but I'm working towards making the 30 min more of a comfortable pace rather than race pace.

[@kingsley6236]

How the hell can you run a sub 30 minute 5k while talking to a camera, concerntrating on your watch stats, thinking about the pace and all in one take!? Super impressed Anna!! Now the edit - you just found out you were pregnant when you did the video MEGA IMPRESSED!!!!

And then you realize someone had to run backwards while holding the camera at the same pace :D

[@electricant55]

Because it’s her easy pace, not a PR

[@wildrachanne]

I watched this video the night before my first 5K race. At the time, my PB was 31:57 so I was really doubting that I would be running a sub-30 5K the next day. Well, it’s the next day and I ran the race at 28:31 and I thought of this video the entire time!!! I matched my pace to how she ran, I did body checks where she did, I waved and looked at cute dogs just like she did. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@user-bw5xj6jz7t]

Nice job. I did a 28:50 at a recent Park Run. My first sub 30 in 30 years. I really like seeing your presentations on the channel because I like seeing someone who I can relate to. Thank you. I prefer distance running over speed. The only downside about my recent 5k is I have missed three runs because of achilles tendinitis. My message is a goal like this is great, but never push yourself too hard especially as a beginner.

[@Leeroy49]

Great form. Thank you for taking us with you. TRC doesn't leave people behind ❤.

[@runningchannel]

Really glad you enjoyed it Leeroy!

[@WaarisMarleen]

My fastest 5k is 27.41 (3,5 years ago), but now I'm closer to 40 minutes. I would love to get back at (sub)30 minutes! Thank you Anna to show me how it's done in a way I can relate to!

[@anna.the.runner]

You can do it, just a bit of 5k-focussed running and consistency and you’ll get there. It’s hard when we look back at our previous PBs, not to compare, but try and focus on where you’re at now 💪🏼

[@lvega5606]

My fastest 5k was a little under 18 min, but that was 20 years ago. Since then, I haven't run due to medical issues, and I've gained 2 stone. I just started running again 2 weeks ago, and I can barely run a mile in 9 min. And I tore all my muscles trying 😂

[@50Something]

I remember when I couldn't run to the mailbox four years ago. 5k is a big thing and it took me forever to get healthy enough to finally get it done! I'm currently at 27.27 as of yesterday and am quite amazed that I have improved with age. Everybody can benefit from running!

[@runningchannel]

Amazing! Running is a brilliant way to stay healthy!

[@irisr4536]

How awesome you’re able to run while pregnant! I wish you many more happy and healthy km’s as a mum-to-be!

[@anna.the.runner]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@jordannewell8903]

I'm 35, and I've held myself to a standard for the last 10 years that if I'm ever feeling out of shape I should do a 5k, and see how long it takes. Anything slower than 30 mins means I need to get back to work. I hope this video is a very successful one for the running channel. It's much more enjoyable watching Anna achieve relatable goals, than to see her in pain doing endurance challenges.

[@shabba1234]

Always love some Anna content. Very relatable and a real inspiration.

[@timhaynes1999]

You are spot on with those early parkrun goals I went through: *run the whole way *sub 30 *not getting lapped by the front runners (as our course was a x2 out and back) *finishing with a kicker * finishing without feeling nauseous *Sub25 *sub30 pushing a pram

I owe a great thanks to TRC for helping me build my running knowledge, with tips and hacks for all manner of running related topics. I recently tried the Garmin 5k training plan, which ended 2 weeks ago and resulted in a 7 sec PB with a 23:21. My running journey began again, with the NHS couch to 5k 4 and 1/2 years ago now. It amazes me that I now have a PB of 23:21 🤯. Anna talks about targets/goals, of which I also have… sub 30 5k ✅… sub 60 10k ✅ … sub 2hr half marathon ✅ … sub 4hr marathon, 2mins short this year, but going for it later next year at the Chester Marathon🤞 Thank you TRC team 👍

@@runningchannel Big Sur on April 28. I'll be at nearly a year and a half into my return to running then, having not run for nearly three decades. Long-term, I think the half will be the sweet spot for me, as I'll be able to run more and recover faster. Stil, as far as first marathons go, the Pacific Coast will be epic- as well as hilly, windy, and probably chilly.

[@orangew3988]

So i haven't gone running in a couple of years now, and i only ever did it to supplement rugby fitness. But back in the day where i was doing weekly parkruns, i couldnt get over the fact that as i got fitter, and was able to run for longer, rather than needing to walk, it actually made my overall time slower!!! I was minutes faster sprint walking than i was just slow jogging. So as i was hovering around that 30 minute mark, i felt like i had to choose between pushing for getting under 30 minutes, or slowing down to do continuous running. Basically i always chose the time over the ability to run non stop. Probably not the right choice, but i really wasnt a runner. I think if i got back into it, id really have to make sure my first goal is to learn how to run continuously before caring about my overall time.

Great video! I love how you talk about what you're thinking about through the run. I found that talking myself through my runs erases the negativity or intimidated feeling I have through my runs. I do a 5K every other day now. I used to take a walk break during the runs but now I make sure I don't stop until the run is complete. It is a good feeling to push all the way through. I just subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Take care.

What a great video! I actually raced along and pushed myself to be faster than the video and commentary. 26 minute 5K thanks to this video. I wish there was more videos like this for breaking 25 minutes etc.
