You will get there! My first 5k was 1 hour 2 minutes and now its 25 mins. Taken a couple of years and it was easy to get down to 28 mins but I had to really work at getting into the 25s. Now my goal is sub 25 but its very very difficult as I'm already at my flat out pace in the 25s. It all takes time ❤
Man I started running like 10 years ago and have pretty much never improved my 5K time 😅12 months is actually a really short amount of time to improve that much! Incredible!
i've just started running 2 weeks ago and i am loving it! been watching a bunch of your videos to keep me going. so so excited to have this new hobby, thank you for inspiring me
YOU’VE COME SO FAR NEVER FORGET THAT GIRL❤️🥰 my dream is bumping into you as a fellow brissy gal I just want you to know you’re always enough and you’ve helped me so much without even knowing it 🥹💛
i’m gonna comment now so i can come back hopefully in the future and see my progress! i’ve been running for a few weeks and it’s been really hard but it’s definitely getting easier! my mile rn is about 12:00, and i definitely wanna improve that but i want to be able to run farther rather than faster! as long as im exercising, i don’t care much about my pace :)
Going to comment now so I can come back for my progress! I just started running again after a long long break, I am currently able to comfortably run 1km, but once the 1.5km hits I really start to feel it so that's where I take a break. Today I managed to push myself to run a total of 2.1km 🏃♀️💨
NO WAY! I just watched part 1 this evening before I went on my first run!!! It went better than expected so I’m stoked to watch part 2 now!! Love all your tips!
This is great! I'll add one other trick that worked for me -- set progressive goals. I set a multi-year goal at the beginning of last year to run a 5k in every county in my state (Iowa, US -- 99 counties). We made it through 5 before I found out I was pregnant. I don't run well while pregnant, so I paused for a year until after I took time postpartum to rebuild my core and pelvic floor. I'll be restarting my run training soon with the goal of picking up my 5ks again at the end of May, and I'm looking forward to running now more than I have after any of the other kids I've had. I credit having a goal in mind for my motivation.
You are absolutely killing it! So proud of how far you’ve come, not just with running but with everything! You’re such an inspiration please never forget that ❤️❤️❤️ much love
Yess. I feel like you are my running buddy because we are about at the same spot in our journey. I have no friends to run with either so I just use it as my me time but once in awhile would be nice lol running has def changed my life and I find myself always wanting to talk about it. I prob drive everyone nuts who doesn’t run haha
Yes, to steady my heart rate and find my pace I take deep breathes in through mouth and nose (Try to match stride).Then quickly take 2 breathes out by mouth. This quickly will release the carbon dioxide. Also NEVER skip warm ups and cool downs! 🏃♀️
Hello dear ❤ thank you for all your advices ! You are a huge motivation. Can you please add the links of running inspo videos to the description box ? 😘
is running once a week enough to improve or do you think it needs to be at least twice? i strength train 4 times a week and don't want to decrease it for running lol
Oh no!! The people in my neighborhood and on the trail cheer me on and tell me good morning or good evening. I'm sorry that happened to you 😭 Even if you went even slower for the rest of your life, you are lapping everyone on the couch. I'm proud of you.
Hey Conagh! Does Runna give you verbal cues to keep you on track with pace? Do you have any recommendations for apps that do? Such as give you pace indications every 0.5-1km
It does! It tells you if you need to slow down or speed up and then tell you your current pace and what you should be aiming for, it then tells you if you’re on pace. Hope that makes sense :) xx
I’ve always wanted to ask you if you could give your 22 year old self some advice what would it be? 🥰 also would you ever be interested in selling some clothes that you may not longer like potentially & I love your style and I struggle to find nice pieces 🥲🥹❤️ your an absolute treasure and well done on your MARATHON CONGRATULATIONS WE WERE ALL CHEERING FOR YOU!! 🤌🤗
@@ConaghKathleen Nooo thank you beautiful!! It means the world to me defs more than you’d know, I can’t wait to see your future accomplishments and hopefully still waiting for the day to bump into you 🥹🥰
No, if it doesn’t feel like sour muscles around your knee, then it is not normal. You might have an imbalance and need to train some parts separately, next to running.
Could also be that even though they are good shoes, they are not right for you. Try and figure out if you're a toe runner or a heel runner and get recommendations from there
Thanks for this video! Ive recently gotten into running and enjoy it and dont want to lose that joy of it. Im only 7mths in and have done 5ks. I want to do a half marathon next year but feel like i have so much to learn yet! This video has been helpful! I also will do the hold my breathe fpr 2 or 3 seconds to calm my heart lol. Glad im not the only one! 😄 What are you favorite shoes?? Im a size 7. My first pair of running shoes have been Hokas. Now that im doing long runs i know i need to invest in another pair- im thinking of trying Asics. Thanks again! 🪷
I run about a 45 minute 5k and am proud of getting to that. can't wait to get to a 25 minute 5k!
same here
You will get there! My first 5k was 1 hour 2 minutes and now its 25 mins. Taken a couple of years and it was easy to get down to 28 mins but I had to really work at getting into the 25s. Now my goal is sub 25 but its very very difficult as I'm already at my flat out pace in the 25s. It all takes time ❤
Did you feel your knees in the beginning?
Same!! 45 minutes is a great time for me. I'm very proud of myself as a person who could not run even 1 km before.
My trick to find my easy pace is to breath through my nose. If i feel the need to mouth breath, i know that I'm going too fast and i slow down
That’s what I do too. I lost 1 minute per kilometre when I first started, but now my easy running is quicker than when I just used to go out and run!
I'll try that on my next easy run, great tip!
Dito
So like a brisk walk for me 😂
@@paularunslondonmy nose runs like crazy when I exercise outdoors and I literally can't. Any tips on how to stop it?!
Man I started running like 10 years ago and have pretty much never improved my 5K time 😅12 months is actually a really short amount of time to improve that much! Incredible!

Girl this video was incredible. So well spoken and SO helpful! 🫶
My suggestion for beginners is to keep a running journal. It helps you to see Ur progress over time but remember to slow down and enjoy

you are SO incredible! 🤍🤍
Thank you so much!! 💖
Hello, new suscriber here nice video love your running you are amazing im happy to be here in your channel I enjoyed it a lot have a nice day.
tysm!!
Hey Conagh! Can you do a video on how you set your watch for interval runs? How do you know when to rest? How do you know when to run ect?
I use the app Runna! It adds the workouts to your watch so it will stop and start for you! It's honestly the best! 🥰
Girl I relate to you so much! Haha 🙈 got my first Mara coming up in less than 6 weeks! Love watching these vids to keep me going 💪🏽💪🏽
Unrelated, but your makeup looks so natural and stunning!!
what mascara do you use? it looks so good
Hey beautiful i love watching your video and its so calming 😍 i love your dog
Thanks for the tips. I am a new runner still trying to do a sub 37 5k
is running once a week enough to improve or do you think it needs to be at least twice? i strength train 4 times a week and don't want to decrease it for running lol
Once a week is perfect just starting out!!
I leave August 14 so I have 2months starting tomorrow at it .t
Thank you!
Yesterday on my easy run some random man on the street told me to "pick up the pace." 🙄
How cruel...I hope you are still going 🎉
Oh no!! The people in my neighborhood and on the trail cheer me on and tell me good morning or good evening. I'm sorry that happened to you 😭 Even if you went even slower for the rest of your life, you are lapping everyone on the couch. I'm proud of you.
That’s why I wear headphones 😊
Hey Conagh! Does Runna give you verbal cues to keep you on track with pace? Do you have any recommendations for apps that do? Such as give you pace indications every 0.5-1km
It does! It tells you if you need to slow down or speed up and then tell you your current pace and what you should be aiming for, it then tells you if you’re on pace. Hope that makes sense :) xx
i want to run without going uphill, but where i live it isn't possible to go on a run without having to run uphill ....
I have the same struggle, which is why I'm limited to the treadmills at the gym atm 😅 oh well
THE DOG 😍😭
great share thhanks!
I’ve always wanted to ask you if you could give your 22 year old self some advice what would it be? 🥰 also would you ever be interested in selling some clothes that you may not longer like potentially & I love your style and I struggle to find nice pieces 🥲🥹❤️ your an absolute treasure and well done on your MARATHON CONGRATULATIONS WE WERE ALL CHEERING FOR YOU!! 🤌🤗
gosh that is such a hard question! i feel like i would tell her to just keep going bc it's going to get so much better 🥹 and tysm gorgeous!!! 😘
@@ConaghKathleen Nooo thank you beautiful!! It means the world to me defs more than you’d know, I can’t wait to see your future accomplishments and hopefully still waiting for the day to bump into you 🥹🥰
Does anyone have a runna code??
thank you
Is it normal as a starter dat I feel some pain in my knees? I have good shoes.
No, if it doesn’t feel like sour muscles around your knee, then it is not normal. You might have an imbalance and need to train some parts separately, next to running.
Could also be that even though they are good shoes, they are not right for you. Try and figure out if you're a toe runner or a heel runner and get recommendations from there
Sometimes following your heart means breaking someone else's.
Hi Conagh ❤ I know this isn’t relevant at all, but how much weight did you lose from beginning to now? From when you started running up until now.
❤
Everyone is like sub 30min 5k. Is it just me 54min 5k😅
no, it’s normal
i love your content! but i must say.. Charlie is my favorite part of the videos
Charlie is the star 🥰
Great jiggle physics in the opening
