Fantastic work ladies, you are both an inspiration. After retiring early almost 3 yrs ago I decided to get fit again. On May 16th I started walking as I wasn't fit enough to run and suffering with pain in my right hip. I bought a running watch and to my horror I realised I had been averaging less than 800 steps a day. Although not yet pain free I have been able to walk more than 5k twice this week. I will be walking my first Parkrun next Saturday with my Daughter with a goal to be able to run 5k by Aug 6th.
Good for you on all fronts - you’re doing awesome! Keep up the incredible work, just think what you’ll be able to achieve this time next year! Be safe friend 💚🌻
What an effort ladies that's some incredible times! My current 5k goal is just to hit below 30mins, I'm only a few months into this whole running journey and loving it all. Thanks for all the great inspo guys! ...And those shoes 😍
Congrats girls you both are really inspiring! I went into 2022 wanting to finally get a sub 30 which I achieved back in Feb & my current PB is 27:09! 🥰 I am now after a sub 25 xx
Well done - you are both winners as my wife said when we watched this conclusion together. She’s well on her way with her Couch 2 5K and we both watch the Running Channel together for inspiration coaching and of course entertainment. Keep up the good work!
This was an awesome series, I really hope you do more like it! As a side note, I'm a couple of weeks behind, but I tried to follow in Alice and Sarah's footsteps and trained for 5k too. My first park run 5 weeks ago today, I ran it in 23:34. Today I ran the same parkrun in 21:27. Thank you for the inspiration!
This was so inspiring! Currently following my garmin 5k plan, hoping for sub-25 by the end! Managed a 24:49 a few weeks ago but that was definitely a fluke!
I'm doing a Garmin 5k plan too. Coach Greg seems to have less confidence now but with better sleep and nutrition and as it's a timed race, have fingers crossed.
Wow, a sub 20 5K! Congrats! That was my goal too 7-9 yrs ago and i fell short. 20:17-19. Now i just want to be able to do a 25min 5K and i'll be very happy.
I watched the RC video when you started your training for this 5k & have been waiting for this to see what is possible in just 8 week of training. Hats off to both of you for a fantastic achievement.
We’ll done ladies! This is making it easier to sit here on a Saturday morning and accept this as a well deserved and needed recovery day. Your times and improvements are remarkable and I’m sure that even more so are the great feelings of striding along faster and stronger. Thank you for the encouragement.
both great results. speed work isn't easy but does get results. I'm currently aiming for under 20 mins 5k myself with a similar starting time to you girls. I'm a few weeks out before my big effort park run.
Well done to the pair of you! Just starting running in January and half started my 12 week plan to my first half marathon race, ran a baseline trial last week at 1:55 so hopefully with a structured plan I can take some time off that. Love the videos keep up the good work!
Great effort! I have yesterday finished an 18week training block for a sub20min attempt 5k. PB was 21.29 set last year. Race is Royal run , Kolding, Denmark tomorrow. Wish me luck ❤️
A fantastic achievement by both of you well done. I myself have done an eight week challenge on speed and endurance to bring my 10k times down. And I have done it I have broken the 50 minute. My new 10k time is 48 minutes and 56 seconds. For me I have found belief that I can do it has been the changing point. And joining a running club has made a massive difference.
Absolutely fantastic result all round - it shows what full commitment to a training programme achieves, even a relatively "short" programme. I hope others are just as inspired by this video series to set a goal and go for it with equal determination!
Awesome running and training to both ladies. I am 67 and started to run again 12 weeks ago. Following a training program and slowly improving. Hope to get to 5m a km somewhere in the future on 5k and maybe 10k. Blessings
Awesome! I had empathy nervousness for each of you. It was great that there were folks around the track to cheer and support you on the run. Well done. Chapeau!
Congratulations to the both of you! I love that you not only talk about your training drills but also how you have developed your mental strength throughout the 8 weeks. Would be interested in seeing a 10k video challenge next!
i too recently tested my5k time at Parkrun, my first time and I'm chasing that sub 21 with heartache (not literally) but finally today I got it on the clock at 21:00. so I know the feeling of getting that PB after long weeks of hard work. Well done ladies it was amazing watching your journey, Sarah I predict 20:50 for Sarah and Alice around the sub 20 min mark maybe 19:50. Goodluck with the race
@@fourierxfm thanks man, I feel like it's already in the bag as the park run is on more of a cross country terrain with a couple of hills. so I know for sure that I will be able to do it on a flatter course. but I think racing on hills has been helping a huge load.
@@mystro_tony They say hills are speedwork in disguise. In 2019, I set PRs in the 5k, 8k (my nemesis), and 10k events after training in the spring and summer on some grueling hills and very few track workouts. I think you've got the right idea!
Well done to both of you! Love how Sarah commented on not forgetting the larger picture, the improvement you make over the course of time even when in the small picture you don't always see it.
Such a great video and series! I usually prefer longer and slower runs, but this one's getting me hungry for speedwork. I'll give one of your training plans a go this summer for sure!
Super congrats ladies!! So inspirational to watch. A year ago my 5k Pb was 20:45 and I was working towards sub 20 min but I’ve been unwell since January with repeated chest infections and it all feels so far away to get back to that level. Watching you makes me inspired that I can happen for me again 💪
@@lolskjrjfndksk one of the most motivating ways to train is find a partner to run with 1-3 times per week, who is about your same ability. Probably another girl around your age. Vary the time, speed, or distance you run each time. That way it won't get stale. More likely to actually do it if you have someone else counting on you. You can also join your schools cross country team. The cool thing about cc is that unless your school has a lot of top tier runners, chances are there's probably not a whole lot of cuts and you should be able to at least make the j.v.(junior varsity in HS) team. Keep us updated on your progress/journey.
@@davidhunt6508 thank you for this, I am part of the cross-country team it's great. I have a running partner but she's a lot better than me but she runs with me once to twice a week. I'll keep you posted on how im doing.
Well done, loved watching this! I’m thinking about chasing my 5km PB from three years ago now, will be tough but this shows what can be done with a focus over a few weeks.
Amazing work both of you - such massive improvement in a short space of time! Has certainly got me thinking I should probably be less scared of speedwork...
I have been so looking forward to this video. My aim is to get my 5k below 30mins. I am pretty new to running but I am really enjoying it and the running channel is keeping me motivated 👍🏻
So well done ladies!!! Regardless of the result (which was incredible for you both!), you put the time in, put yourselves out of your comfort zone & worked hard!! You should be so proud of yourselves!!!
I've loved following this challenge. When you first start running it's pbs every week but as time goes on we all inevitably plato, so this was so inspiring to watch. I couldn't wait for the video to be uploaded!! Well done to Sarah and Alice. U both smashed it 👊🏼
Wow! that was awesome! I was rooting for both of you!! I'm a beginner but what an inspiration! Thank you ... would feel great to win but may the best one needing them win :)
Congratulations Alice and Sarah, absolutely amazing times and fantastic job over the 8 weeks! 3 weeks into my half marathon plan aiming for a pb in September, so good to see how much a you both improved following a plan! 🤩
Well done ladies. Amazing effort. I am training for a 5k PB and I am using TRC training plan. It's a plan I'm finding really enjoyable with heaps of variety, just finding it hard with motivation as its winter here now but I am getting it done! Thankyou for the inspiration x
Well done to you both, loved following this series. Sarah put it so eloquently when she spoke about one of the highs of training is being in competition with yourself; pushing your limits and feeling content that you can still achieve more in time to come.
Wow you are both so inspiring, going to take on board the comments about really giving your all in the speed training intervals for longer term payoff and that super easy for long runs is the way forward!!
Well done Sarah and Alice. Great to see that you both managed to get PB and supported each other through the whole process. Has been great to watch each step and hope to use some of the techniques to improve my times. 👍👍
Amazing job guys! Just wanted to comment how much I love your editing and music work and the talking you guys do (coming from a blind runner) because it keeps all the suspense and I can keep up with the videos always! Great job guys! Very proud of you
Loved seeing Alice and Sarah really pushing with all their might (both of them far faster than I will ever be) and Freddie just jogging along beside them. Well done guys!
You girls did incredibly - so proud of you! I must admit I got a little bit emotional when Sarah and Alice were taking us through what they were feeling, I think because we have all been there and it sort of allows you to give empathy to the runner. I’m currently training for a 10K PB after coming back from a half year out of running due to ITBS. I am so unbelievably happy to be training (safely) again. Thinking of this video and both you girls strength in this race will push me on my speed repeats tomorrow. Well done ladies 👏🏻🌻
Go Sarah!!! Well done on the completing the training. WOW to PBs and Alice you smashed it. What more can you ask for? Having a goal and training for it pays off!! Delighted Think i will go and work for sub 20 5k now!!!
Feeling incredibly inspired after watching that. Well done Alice and Sarah!! P.S. I was on both teams for you both to get a PB, and whoop whoop you both did!
Well done girls. I am not even close to your 5K timings. The video really inspired me. Learnt one more thing that good pair of running shoes are so important. Need to look for a good one for myself to avoid injuries and to run faster.
Wow I’ve been looking out for this video and now it’s landed! Great work both of you. Super impressive times and gains. I’d love to see a challenge like this for an older generation tho. The assumption and often the reality is that thr older you get the harder it becomes to gain new PBs for shorter distances. We oldies tend to be better at endurance but I’d love to see some over 45 ladies do this challenge and see what happens!
Wow. To shave so much off an already fast time (to me at least!!) in only 8 weeks is really inspiring!! I've had the goal of getting a parkrun time under 30 minutes ever since the start of 2018, but haven't ever quite gotten there. I tend to go too hard too fast with my training and get injured, but I had a badly sprained ankle in December that stopped me being able to do anything beyond a fast walk for about 4-5 months, and I was shocked at how much fitter I felt after a period of doing long 10km fast walks and strength work. As my ankle got stronger I gradually added small runs in, to see what it could cope with, I found that the run-walk style of training feels a lot healthier for my body, and less like I'm going to get an injury. So I'm hoping, now that I'm changing things up and not just doing the same old routine, that this will be the year for me 👍 Eight weeks ey....
Great! So fun and inspiring to watch! My goal is 22:30 for a 5k this year. I don’t wanna push harder because I need to be able to run my daily runs. Need to stay away from injuries. So I am impressed of your time. Great! /Markus
Well done Alice and Sarah! It is inspiring to see how much you achieved in such a short time. I have just started training for a 10k after having done a couple of half marathons. I'm definitely not a fast runner, but I thought I challenge myself with a shorter, speedier race. Thanks for all the great training advice, TRC!

Just came here to comment the same thing!! Awesome work, Alice and Sarah!!

Best of luck👍

@@jassaljs Thank you.
@@pepperminttea2460 Thank you.
Massive well done to both of you! I had just about convinced myself to skip my run today, but now I'm going to get out and get it done.
Both of you flew! I ran a timed road 5K for my birthday 6 weeks ago, went all out and got a 21:37. You have to be proud of your times. That's amazing!
What an effort ladies that's some incredible times! My current 5k goal is just to hit below 30mins, I'm only a few months into this whole running journey and loving it all. Thanks for all the great inspo guys!

Great improvements over 8 weeks! 🎉🎊🏅 Would love to see you both go for a mile PB next!
Great idea Steve!
I'm going to start training for a faster 5k after my first marathon this weekend! Thanks for the inspiration.
You have both proven the truth in "want results; train harder"

Ha the 20 minutes barrier... dreaming of it! Congrats to both of you!!👏👏
Brilliant work ladies! I’m currently trying to beat my 5K time, but unfortunately iv developed sciatica so had to take a step back for the time being.

Huge improvement by Alice.
Sarah, 5sec + improvement per week is incredible too!
You ladies did great! Happy running! 🏃🏾♀️
Well done both of you!
Nice to see Alice now training in Carlisle with DH Runners.
Feeling incredibly inspired after watching that. Well done Alice and Sarah!! P.S. I was on both teams for you both to get a PB, and whoop whoop you both did!
Enjoyed that challenge- was backing Alice. She just looked focused! Great effort and 2 pb’s! Top running!

Thanks George! What challenge would you like to see next?
This was a great video series! Big respect to Alice and Sarah, huge gains in 8 weeks! It makes me want to keep in pursuing a sub 20min 5k!

Congrats on the PBs! What a difference 8 weeks can make!
Impressed by your improvements and all the hard work that went into it. It's not easy to keep that focus for almost two months 👏🏻

So I'm hoping, now that I'm changing things up and not just doing the same old routine, that this will be the year for me 👍 Eight weeks ey....
Really nicely done. Running and breaking pbs always feels great!
That has blown my mind you can improve that much in 8 weeks, definitely motivation to hit my target of 23 mins
Great!
So fun and inspiring to watch! My goal is 22:30 for a 5k this year. I don’t wanna push harder because I need to be able to run my daily runs. Need to stay away from injuries.
So I am impressed of your time. Great!

Well done Alice and Sarah! It is inspiring to see how much you achieved in such a short time. I have just started training for a 10k after having done a couple of half marathons. I'm definitely not a fast runner, but I thought I challenge myself with a shorter, speedier race. Thanks for all the great training advice, TRC!
