A video I needed! I've run 114 10ks under 40 minutes (of 209 raced) but can't get under 60 now. Puzzling. Though someone suggested being 74 might have something to do with my slow times now!

Have you tried getting younger? Would probably help with the times

@fastrax1949 8 ай бұрын

That would be good,wouldn't it! Some would say there are plenty of runners in their '70s doing great times but research shows that the majority have come into racing at quite a mature age. The fact I stated racing 60 years ago is certainly a factor both in physically and motivationally. @@DR-cs6dl

Great video! Love the channel. Just got back into running in June after a 14-year break at age 43. Did my first 10k the other day at 44min. I find it tough to battle mentally what I used to be able to do and what my body will let me do now. I am seeing progress though. Definitely need to add in strength training to help with my weak areas. Long way to go to get back to my old PB in my late 20's. I think I can get there in due time. Only 12 mins to drop off lol.

Great video and very timely! I've just managed to get a few sub 40 10ks and was wondering what that would mean for a marathon. Ran 3:19 this year so a sub 3 hour seems like a decent goal for next year! Just bought your Advanced Training Plan!

Ah very well done Ben! That's precisely my time too (for a 5k, but that's just a detail haha).The only other difference between my 37:46 and yours is I struggle through my 5k while you chat and smile through your 10k! I joke of course, as I did improve my 5k to 25:15 using your plan, so thanks for that! Absolutely amazing video, your joyful vibes are very inspiring as always!

You’re honestly in my head. The 5k in 20min video came up as I was thinking about preparing for a sub 20 5k. Just got 19:13 yesterday and thought maybe I could do I sub 40 10k. An hour later I see this!! 😂

Amazing vid Ben loving these videos! 🙏 i ran 39:00 last sunday and today decided to go out and prove to myself i can cover the marathon distance. Looking forward to seeing the sub3 video because its my goal for next year. I ran 3:23 today with 438m of elevation and with a 1:26 half 39:00 10k and 18:18 5k i believe sub3 is in my legs at some stage 😂 with a good training block. Look forward to more of your tips 🤌

Outlining sessions like 4 x 1 mile @ 10k pace up, it would be a good idea to indicate the recovery between reps, although most athletes going sub 40 would already be doing these kind of sessions hopefully.

Two things: 1) extra distance is a thing! Due to bad GPS data or lots of turns expect to run further than the distance. In the Chicago marathon I ran an extra 1100 meters! Strava said my time for the marathon distance was 2:57 but my official time through the finish line was 3:01. 😢 2) I ran my 10k PB using a run/jog method instead of steady pace. Ran 90 seconds at 3:45/k or 6/mile pace, that’s 400 meters total, and then a 30 seconds jog. 20 reps total and you’re done with 10k by the time you finish your last jog.

For what its worth, when I used to run, my best was 40/10k and 95/half. So, I think anyone who can run sub 40/10k can probably run a half in 90mins with the right training distances. I was running 13km on Wednesday evenings and 18km on Sunday mornings, both with hills. Then a couple short runs in between.
