Real down to earth personality and a great watch. Look forward to following your journey. Enjoy Christmas...that will be just a little bump in the road but you have to live a little still.
I got my first ever sub 20 at West Links Arbroath Parkrun. Nice and flat but it’s rather boring. Only been once but it’s a place I’ll remember simply because of the sub 20 run. These conditions are not pb friendly. All the best on your running journey my friend.
I'm 52, height 5 foot 8 weight 63kg 5k this year 20:45. Target 2025 19:xx. Currently running 50k a week with two hard sessions a week. I don't really have a target weight, more a target look. I look at the world class 5k athletes from Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia and they are all more skin and bone than me. Same heart size, same lung size, less weight, go faster and probably just as important, less stress on knees, ankles, foot tendons, calves, achilles etc. Looking to build up to 60km a week over the next couple of months, small distance progressions spread over 6 days a week of running. Such a great sport!
Good video mate. I'm about the same size as you and been trying to get under 25min for my 5k too. I think it's a decent pace for us bigger lads! Keep up the good work. I'm gonna try and not indulge too much over xmas!
Thanks Mark. Yes think sub 25min is good what ever your size, good luck with your efforts. Yes to be honest I am half looking forward to having a break over Christmas and half dreading it in case I cannot get back to weight loss beast mode. If I can get back I may be at my target sometime in March in which case I then have to learn to be stable, my weight goes up or down. Anyway 120kg lost, 10kg to go.
When you're at the right weight and fit it still takes a number of attempts for all factors to slot nicely into place - so PBs might only happen every three or four attempts. Maybe your next attempt will be worse or maybe better. You got a PB despite several factors against you and I think a clear cut sub 25:00 parkrun will give you another boost. Be disciplined with the food, esp previously over xmas because the continued weight improvements will amplify your results. 23:00 5k doesn't seem like a silly target, 50:00 10k again fine and after that a sub 2 HM isn't really pushing yourself. To start with it seems a bit dreamy and then it's a distant challenger but eventually you get it done and those results are just a little measure of the improvements you've made. Good luck
Thanks Dave. Sub 30min 5k and sub 60 10k also took a while to get. Yes Christmas is a challenge. I recon I will get to my target weight by early spring, that will be the next massive test, how to have a stable weight and eat 'normally' without putting it all back on, I think I will have to accept that summers see my weight rise, winter seas it fall. All the best. Ian
Have just lost 9.5kg myself, but know that I haven't seen a speed increase yet because of a lack of energy, I think I need to go back to eating a bit more before I will see the benefits on my 5k time.
25.17 is great, mate, especially when your previous fastest km was 5.07. You just ran 5km at 5.03. The theory works. In fact, it's not even a theory, keep training, structured running and you'll most likley take it the next time around. Do 4 weeks training and hit it again 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Matt, yes sure I would have got below 25 on the Christmas Day park run but got visited by Flu instead:-( 2025 should be good though, aiming for sub 50 10k and sub 2 hour Half Marathon. Also doing The Lap with my oldest lad. Hope you enjoy the channel. Ian

I know what you mean, trying to push hard be low carb is not easy. Maybe quicker over Christmas, or maybe slower if I over do things.
Assuming you are not at perfect weight or are not underweight to start with, 1kg fat loss will gain you 1% performance.
its fair to say I have never been perfect weight!!!!! thanks for watching.

Icy roads zap the strength. Easily comparable to gaining 10kg of weight.
Thanks Tak. Nearly over the man flu so should see in a couple of weeks. Thanks for watching
It's "Losing". There is only one o.
Thanks Steve
