This Workout Got Me From 1 Hour 2 Mins to

[@MsTrinichic]

Tom is my spirit animal. He may complain but never gives up!!!! We appreciate you Tom!!! Jess great encouragement ❤❤❤.

[@brynthomas1498]

Jess is mine... Great shoe choice from her too.

[@rgh622]

I love watching Tom get better and faster on each episode. I also appreciate that TRC adds a second person to the episode who can talk to us while Tom breathes so he can continue to live.

Tom was like “I think of NOTHING!” I just want to breathe Jess. Haha 😂

That's really something most women can't understand. Men can just go and think about nothing at all and in my experience this is something unthinkable (pun) to women. I don't know why, but it seems it's just the way it is. I even remember an episode of Seinfeld about this 😂 Anyway I'll save this little interval thing for when it's too crappy to do my hill speed sessions; thanks for reminding me about it 🤓

[@5654-b9o]

@@Th3UprightMan I think that's a weird take, has nothing to do with gender. If you're running fast, you're just focusing on getting done with the interval. I think all the time when I go for an easy run

Love how relatable Tom is. It's nice TRC has runners in all speed categories to appeal to a wider audience.

[@psychoticvenom]

"OH I'M SO EXCITED THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!!!" I love Jess's energy, especially in contrast to Tom's :)

[@runningchannel]

So glad you like the contrast 😂

[@user-wc9it9rk1u]

It's good to see how an average runner trains. This kind of content is helpful. Please do this more often.

[@runningchannel]

Really glad you find it helpful!

[@morastylez]

i agree! im basically Tom in female form and i started running a year ago. i really put in the effort and try, but im still so slow. its so relatable to see someone "average" doing workouts and struggling as much as i would do.

[@michaelmajor6595]

Honestly Tom is the most relatable runner from the channel. Looking forward to see him in more of these challanges!!! (please) You go Tom!! You got that sub 60mins.

[@chiefchris13]

got my sub 60 min 10k PB on sunday with a 57.33. Was a long time coming, but put in a proper training block and now eyeing a sub 55! go on Tom

[@Owen7070]

well done mate, funnily enough I got my sub 60 pb last week as well- and am also eyeing up a sub 55. keep at it mate 👍🏼

[@runningchannel]

Congratulations!! 🥂

[@goodyeoman4534]

Nice one. But don't push too hard. At those sorts of times, just regular base runs will see drastic improvements in times. You only need to add intervals and tempos once you've got down to 45-50 territory.

[@madametrafficjam8347]

Tom is such a good addition to this channel. It's nice to see more average runners (no, Sarah doesn't count anymore, sorry babe, you got too good)

[@PTimbs]

Love the energy that Jess is trying to give Tom

[@jennierayner2152]

"Tom enjoyed it!" Tom: *stares at the camera in despair* continuing to come through the relatable content, and can i say as someone who is also chasing a sub-60 10k....much appreciated. go Tom, you got this!

The editing, the subtitling, the production decisions. Perfection! "indecipherable angst" Best laugh of the day. Loved it

[@Odrin92]

That bit about running with people, I second that! I'm an introvert, I feel bad, nervous and/or angry when in a crowd. I've been running 5k for a year and a half, 3 times a week solo in the evening. I felt quite good about my pace and I thought about a competition. I've ran a half marathon relay race. The time was bad, I was exhausted, it completely killed my motivation. Now, few years later, I've found about a local parkrun group. I didn't know anybody there but that was the good point. I don't know them, they don't know me. They don't care how slow I am. But running with other people changed running for me. I have a strongly competitive mindset. Running with others gave me a good benchmark on where I am now and where I can be. After few runs I had a good sense of other runners' pace so I could try chasing the rabbit, that one person who I thought is in my reach. Half a year later I am healthier, my hips and knees stopped to hurt, I run 5k without a problem, my time got from 30 to sub 25 minutes, I've comfortably run my first half marathon (full distance, not a relay this time) and I got to know a lot of good people. So yeah, definitely running with other people can be very helpful, as long as you can find a bunch of good, cheerful people who won't judge you for being slow but cheer for you showing up every week.

[@pauldavidson9120]

More of Jess and Tom please. Great combo

[@hippygeeza]

We need more jess and tom videos!! Tom is such a nice bloke and his work ethic is fantastic! I think jess's positivity is just what he needs. Great video!

[@dhananjayi6323]

Tom is perfect inspiration!! He's real, he's sweet and he puts it all out there. Jess is perfect in every way. Positive, high energy and knows what she's talking about.

[@Marktburgess]

Love this Tom, I ran my first 10km in 2016 at 39 and ran 1.06, I am now 47 and looking at 50 minutes, You can beat the hour barrier!!! Love it!

[@goodyeoman4534]

That's decent. Keep it up. I've got Hillsborough in a couple of months and want a sub 45.

[@mycroftholmes8261]

Watching this while recovering from my first ever race! 10k in 1:03 (and a bit)! Now aiming for under an hour, so this is the perfect video 😊

[@stephendavidcampbell]

Go Tom! Be patient, consistent and kind to yourself and your body. Let your whole system make those adaptations as it absorbs the training, don't push too hard. I came from plus 60 10k races 13 years ago and now average around 40min. Lots of ups and downs along the way, but am still loving the journey and sense of health and fitness it's given me. It will be hard work at times, but it should also be lots of fun and fulfilling more often than not. Good luck again, you're going to reach a lot of people on this series, and we're really rooting for you!

[@Ckblab]

Best new running duo! 😂😂😂 jess is a natural cheerleader! She’s shown that she has that ability to inspire those to push themselves beyond what they think they are capable of! Tom you will crouch your 10K with jess by your side!

[@flissabeth]

So entertaining on so many levels. I can totally identify with Tom. Also can identify with Jess as I have been fit (a couple of times in my life). Go Tom!! You’re motivating me to get out there and be more Jess! Also just to say, Tom’s posture improved 100% through the run as he got into it and started believing in himself! If he started off like that I think it would work wonders (even if you gotta fake it at the start!) Keep going!

[@stevenbromham1594]

Well done Tom and thank you Jess, we all benefit when taking turns at being pacers.

Haha great job!!! I love the authenticity. Showing the struggle makes us not feel alone. 10k PB here you come 🎉

[@IainThacker]

Some honest hard work there Tom - well done, some real grit shown! My coach keeps setting workouts that my mind tells me will be too tough but they kep getting done - the sessions don't get easier, they just get harder but putting in the effort does get easier!

[@matthiastr1423]

What a great video! Two runners which can't be more different, but share the same passion. I love the vids with jess, she is pure positive energy! 🌞

[@reynierveldtmann3003]

Jess the cheerleader! 😁 Well done Tom!!! I am definitely going to try this one. Love contrast of your personalities, but still great teamwork. 👏❤️

[@ButtaflyGrlNZ]

YAASSSSS TOM! Way to finish that workout! I am definitely in your camp with the paces, I like to run by myself as a stress release but often run with music to get out of my head. Bless Jess for her awesome support and positivity as well! So great seeing you push through, Tom, and get it done. Epic effort 💪

[@Stephen-N]

I would love to have jess as my pacer. Drawing off her energy would knock minutes alone I'm sure 😂 And great effort tom! It does get easier I promise, just keep at it mate 💪 personally I love running with slower people because it keeps my slow runs slow and motivating them makes me feel good, so never be ashamed to ask a friend to run with you!

[@darrellbenge9235]

Running an interval session with Jess would be great fun. I love the constant chatter. Tom can feel better watching Andy pace Jess to her 5k pb. She wasn't so chatty then! 😅

[@evaoconnor2664]

It is so refreshing to see this...all the reality of running and trying to better yourself, hating it and then loving it! These two are a brilliant combination 😅😅 "I think of nothing"

[@Bertziethegreat]

I'm not one for reality tv, but if these two had their own show, I'd tune in for that.

[@CatsAreTheBestPeople-mm1fo]

I'd tune in for James providing an episode-by-episode (literal) running commentary on a reality TV show starring Jess and Tom.

[@DrGruffLes]

Keep going Tom! Running with a faster buddy always help with keeping pushing, just playing the keep up games works well. I feel like we're in a similar place, and just got my first 10k under 1 hour at 59:43.

That section where Jess is happily gabbing away and Tom is quietly suffering through the rep -- been there!!! hahaha!!! The editing on this one was delightful. **Indecipherable angst** indeed. I am not even training for 10k now but kind of want to give this one a go!!

These two remind me of the Delerium video where the fitter woman was dragging along the less fit man. Good effort and very useful. Will definitely try this 👍

[@the23er]

I find these workout videos hard to follow, all the intervalls, the paces, the repeats and all that. Can you at least put them in the description? And as always, Tom is so relatable. A 10k sub 1h is an A Goal for me as well. Not sure if i will ever be able to do it. Currently at 1:07. Best of luck!

[@JustBrowsing777]

Well done mate 👏 And yes, Jess makes a great inspirational running partner/coach!

[@runningchannel]

just did my first 10k this weekend in 1hr 3 min (way better than i expected!), looking forward to using this + other workouts to try to break 60 in my next one!

[@DarkDanegan]

Great video and looks like a great workout. One question - when you say “at 10k pace” and “at 5k pace” - presumably the 10k pace is your target 10k pace? And the 5k pace - is that your achieved 5k pace, or an aspirational one?

[@fabianjauch972]

Tom is awesome. Great effort!

[@gordonway5631]

Great workout from Jess & Tom, but there is one thing that you don’t say in this video and other PB workouts you’ve show. 1. How many times a week you should incorporate the workout. 2. How many weeks roughly you should do the workout before implementing it into the desired race. ie: 5k or 10K race. Love the content as ever. Keep up the great work and videos.

[@MsJaneViola]

Today I ran my first sub 60 minute 10k! I was only able to incorporate this workout twice between my last sprint tri and my 10k race and it was so hard but so effective. Can't wait to do it more.

[@tomascanevaro4292]

I started my running journey 2 years ago barely finishing 10k in a bit over an hour. Now i'm down to 41:27, really proud of how far i've come! I would have never imagined 2 years ago i would be close to sub-40

[@TwoHappyChildrenFarm]

I'm in the middle of a training block so I substituted my 8x800 threshld workout with this one today. It's a tougher than expected workout. The first set was fine. The second was tough. My targets were 10k time for the 2k, and faster than 5k time for the 400m. I think it's a solid workout for either 5k or 10k training and plan to use it again in a few weeks.

[@Andy25Q]

This looks like the perfect treadmill workout for someone alone, I will definitely try it so I can beat my plateau, thanks!
