    My PB is 22:37 but as the kid who used to finish last at everything in school 35 years ago I'm massively happy with that. I love seeing runners smash 15/16 minute times, well done!

    • @davidfernandez8913

      @@badmintonplus9278 lots of speed work. 150s 200s 400s. Strides after runs. 12 seconds fast 1 minute walk 12 times. Long runs easy runs. My coach didn't really make me do mile repeats just lots of fast speed workouts so your body can use to running at the fast pace. The first mile I went out like 5:10 and just was just holding 5:25 ish pace for the last two miles. Stretch foam roll. Recover with Epsom salt anything helps. And believe in yourself. And eat super super healthy that goes a long way as well. Drink beat root!! Lots of fruits!!! And veggies

      @@davidfernandez8913 Nice work man! I went through a similar improvement in 8 months going from 17:06-->15:03 at 5K as a Sophomore in high school and I'd say the key to improvement is threshold/tempo running and whilst speed work IS important I'd argue it doesn't need to be done too much just Strides and Hill work which do the trick.

    @eddiegaul1903 2 года назад

    Nice work Ben! Glad to see you racing with max effort to see where you were at. I generally prefer morning races. That way I am not stressing about it all day. If I have a night run, I am constantly "resting" throughout the day in order to go to the starting line fresh. It just sort of spoils what otherwise would've been an active / productive day. Also, dialing in the food quota for that time of day is also challenging.
    I have a night race coming up -- doing the Las Vegas Half Marathon this February.
    As always, love yours and Sara's content!

    Too many races are in the morning, I get that it's "tradition"
    But I'd like to see more races in the evening or even at night. Get some music going, some lights, glow sticks on the competitors, night feels more atmospheric (plus you go faster!) get the smells from street food vendors wafting around as you do the laps. Make it a party atmosphere!

    The training is going good here in the US. Just found out that I’ve been accepted for Celtman extreme Triathlon in Scotland. It’s a iron distance triathlon with some trail running instead of road running. That’s the “ironman” that you need to race! Anyway, bringing the family over the pond to your neck of the woods in June. Can’t wait!

This is like the exact opposite of all those goobers complaining that it was super hot at the Chicago marathon because it was 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I can’t even imagine training in a place where the weather is so bland that 45 degrees is “freezing cold” or 80 degrees is “burning hot”.
