5k Head to Head Race | Can You Get Faster In 8 Weeks?

Рет қаралды 100,130

Күн бұрын

8 weeks ago Alice and Sarah were pretty evenly matched over 5k, running 21:53 versus 22:06. Since then they’ve followed the exact same training plan for 8 weeks to answer the question: if two people follow the same training plan, will they improve by the same amount? At the end of this video we finally get the answer to this question when they take on an intense final 5k time trial.
↓↓ The time reveal at the end is mad! Who do you think will be faster? Comment below! ↓↓

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.

I had predicted Alice would win. I've been running Parkrun since August 2021 and would love to win a new pair of running shoes.
