I feel bad but I do like 'picking people off'. I take part in my local Park Run quite often. At the start, I try to get in my rhythm and pace. I try to stick with someone who is going at a pace I feel comfortable with. If I feel they're going slow after some time, I pick them off. I then try to either stay ahead or catch up to the next person. I have found for myself that after some time, I am rarely picked off as I feel I have set a good pace for myself. I am far from the fastest but I like to think I have good stamina and pacing that no one catches up to me when I have picked them off.

Just did a run/walk for about 3 miles in under 45 minutes. For me and the shape I’m in that was a huge victory.

I started running to give up smoking at 61 yrs old , It WILL work .

Ran my first 5k today, went from around 1.5 to 2.5 k and was confident I could do it. I prepared with a good nutrition and exercises for 4 weeks. My 5k target was to keep jogging, walking was not allowed, this made me conscious to not start too fast. In the end I ran a measly 32 minutes and 30 seconds. Not too bad, but I started so slow out of fear of having to walk, looking back I think I can sub 30 minutes. Still very pleased I jogged/ran for that long and reached my goal of not resting or walking underway. Nice video, greetings from the Netherlands.

Lol me starting to run 3 days before my first 5k

I used to worry about my pace and people lapping me , now I just go out headphones on do what I can and I know I’m lapping everybody who’s still sat on the sofa or lying in bed, looking at a 5k beginners plan hence why I’m here watching for tips

I had open heart surgery to remove a grapefruit size tumor on my thymus gland in 2020 right before Covid hit. I ran my first 5k race in May 2022 & finished about midway out of all the runners who entered. I am 43 years old & training now for my second 5k race. You can do it!! 🎉🎉

I just ran my first 5k on Saturday and I am in love! People were so supportive and I didn't even know them! This channel has been so instrumental with my training..now training for 10k for April 2020 and Great south run on October 2020!

I ran my first ever 5k two days ago. Was aiming for a 35:00 and ended up running a 32:40! I’m aiming to hit sub 30:00 by November. I used to run a decent mile in high school, but haven’t run much since then. I’m only 26 and in decent shape, so I think I’ll snap back quick! Thanks for the tips!

I’m running my first 5k in 3 weeks. I’m on week 5 of 7 of my couch to 5k. Haven’t cheated yet and have actually done a little more at times. I’m super excited. My wife was a cross country runner then she got Lupus and it wrecked her. So I’m doing this for her (and me as well but mainly her). I’m wearing all purple (lupus color) with a shirt that says “Lupus Sucks!” It stinks watching the person you love slowly decline physically. I love her and I’m gonna keep running for her! Thanks so much for this channel

Don't forget to warm down after the race , stretch and rehydrate .

Its been my dream to complete a 5km without walking and resting. I started in Feb with a group of beginners and last week in our local park on my own I completed 5km without walking once. We build up gradually from 1 min of running and 2 mins walking. I believe our success of no injuries were the gradual increase. I did a few dance moves and celebrations shouts there on my own. It really felt great. Then I walked for 30 seconds and did another 1km. My message to every one who wants to do it is "put on your tekkies " and keep your pace.

Haven’t ran over a mile in almost 4 months. Just ran a 5k in 36 min. My left legs went numb half way through😂.

I’m super nervous. I’m running my first 5k in varsity xc tomorrow.

ran a 23 minute park run followed a guy who did a 24:10 and went with him for 2.5 miles and at the last stretch i see he is struggling i start randomly sprinting and get 92nd i’m 14 and looking forward to the future,and i used a lot of the tips from this video especially concerning pace definitely recommend you guys!

I am very nervous. I have never even watched or much less ran a 5k race. But this past year and a half I got into running to lose weight and lost about 40 pounds. This summer whenever we had summer football conditioning and strength training I excelled at the 1-2 mile runs we would do, to the point where I would beat all the seniors while I am a sophomore. The coach pointed me towards cross country and I have been doing daily training since including a 10 mile run I am extremely proud of. The only problem is that my school has a horrible XC coach, and he doesn’t do much for us. Also I am the fastest at my school meaning I am a sophomore on varsity. I have a meet in two days and was hoping I could get some last second advice

My first 5k was slow like around 50 minutes but 3 years later I can run a 5k in like 30 minutes now

Running my first 5k tomorrow! I’m very excited to see how I do!

So I've lost 130lbs+ in 7 months (Feb 10th, 2023) . My first mile took me almost an hour to complete. Fast forward to today, where I'm training for my first 5k. My average time is now 26m 40s for a 5k or 3.1. Miles. It's possible, guys, just have to start.

Anyone here because-of the 555 challenge

The good thing about the 5K distance is that you can do time trials without really disrupting your training. That way, you'll get a better idea of what you're capable of. Also, it gives you some practice pacing. With a 5K, I tend to think that it should start feeling difficult between the halfway point and the beginning of mile 3. If it starts feeling difficult before this, I've probably started too fast. But if it doesn't feel difficult by this point, I probably could have gone faster.

smiling is the absolute last thing on my mind

I will be running my first 5K next month, I am currently 296lbs! I hope to lose 20 lbs and make it a sub 25 min 5k, wish me luck!

I need this Im in a race where i gotta run 5k

I’m 14 I play soccer and fit. I’ve never really ran a 5k but I have to for my school team. Do you think I can?

Just completed my first 5km without planning to! (We joined a race starting in our usual jogging area 5minutes before start!) I was only expecting to be able to meet this mile stone in 4ish weeks! As someone who came last and couldn't run moat of cross country at primary School I feel so accomplished!

I never ran before but did jump rope and muay thai and when i tried i ran 5km

I want to do my first one for the 4th Quarter and begin consistency for 2020

Running my first 5k Tommorow!, From Boulder City, Nevada.

Can't wait first 5k this Saturday

You feel sad when there is no 5k competitions or runs in your state in country and no one runs a 5k but you want to run and you don't get a companion. It's highly demotivating. Still I will try my best to run a 5k

I recently began running at 41 years old to get fit again for my kids. I get a high afterwards and it’s feeling addictive. I stink at it so far but will keep at it.

Really enjoyed this one and learned a lot, subbed too.

I'm not a runner, but I've always wanted to be one. Any advice on getting started? I really wish I had done cross country and track in junior high and high school.

Getting ready for my first in November!!

I ran my first 5k yesterday. As @JustinWu says, self-control and keep zone 3 for the last kilometer.

I should mention that I'm 35 years old and a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I've never really run before, but I think it would be a good supplement for my Tae Kwon Do training.

I've never ran before... But we have a fitness test lol

Running my first 5k in April. I had my baby last month and I feel great 👍

in 2 days is my first real run challenge rather than virtual run. i ran 2 half marathons virtually but nervous for my 5k with people!!! around me

Doing my first 5k tomorrow, wish me luck

I am overweight person who started my walking journey last year. Initially its really hard for me to move even 1km so started walking everyday. Now i am finishing 5km by 55 minutes, ofcourse its not a great speed but still iam looking and feeling better and healthier than last year. I have fell down while running and my knees got injured so can't able to increase pace, My moto is fitness so trying slowly to increase pace and my target is 30 minutes may be next year i will achieve it.

I ran my first 5k today, without any prior training, and the time was 25 minutes. Is it a good time? By the way, I am quite fit

I’m running my 2nd 5k of the year and my goal is just to beat my last time + try to run / jog the entire time !!! :)

This is the most encouraging video!!

If i could smile at the end of a 5k i would know i hadn't pushed hard enough

An interesting video about running. Great job! 👍🏻😊

13 y/o football player I run a 5K on my own trail about every 2 days and my last one I broke 23:47 and I just ran again today and for some reason I just gave out any advice?

i have followed you for weeks now and took your advice! This is my first 5K and its tomorrow! OMG its race day tomoz!!!!!!

I ran 5k with no training- Guess it because I'm at teenager who is very active I guess, when I wanted to stop i just told my self it's all in the head, (well the asthma not 🤣)

Run Zone2 to crush 5ks

Running my first 5k today!

I finished couch to 5k last week. This week, I set my goal: 5k. I am new to running & slow sk needed to run for longer than half an hour. I didn't believe I could do it. I didn't do it. I did a 6k instead.

Such great information 🎉

Am I the only person who found the couch to 5k app useless, hated it, done a few 10k's without it

Thank you for such good advice

Be consistent, just as the focus on the back of the subject!!! :)))) Jokes aside, thanks for your info, very good video!

Just registered for my first 5k in August. Hope I’ll be able to finish it.

I'm very happy for these canale .realy I was running before one weak about 10kilometrs my time 53miunte . But after running I'm have bien in my leg in my knee.

I started running last September doing the Cto5K app and signed up for the mad Santa Dash in Liverpool as a 2018 goal. Struggled with it as I'd only been running for a couple of months and hadn't even finished Cto5K at the time but it was a lot of fun and I've kept at it this year, lost 3 stone and ran more 5Ks, collected some medals and t-shirts, working on my pace now and will be having another go at the Santa Dash this year with a better time hopefully. Ho Ho Ho.

I don’t got 6 weeks mate, I’m running in 4 days 🥵🥵😂

Are there park runs also in Austria? Never heard of those but sound amazing.

Great team and great advice

Myself and thousands more managed to get to 5k or running for 30 minutes with the c25k. I started on the 1st October 2018 and 1 year on I'm still running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

There's one in 4 weeks and I can run 2 miles on a treadmill hopefully I can work my way up ^^

Can you advice me for the time to finish 5 k for beginner in 40 minute in how how many m minutes walk and how many minutes run

I can't seem to progress. At first, I was running about 25% of the time, walking the rest. After a few weeks it was about 50/50. And now I'm stuck for a month. If I try to increase the run percentage, I get out of breath. I'm covering 5k three times a week but I really can't get beyond this point, taking about 35 min. According to training charts, I should be mostly running by now. Do I push myself anyway, even if I'm clearly out of breath?

Today i have my first 5k I am a athlete in my school and i am used to running 600m I did my 5k and now my leg is hurting what do i do

Nice little,realistic comfortable guide.

I'm into running from past one month, I'm overweight and i could run 3k in under 18 min. I shall post again on 5k In Sha Allah

I just did one yesterday with no training

I've tried and failed many times to get into a running habit. I recently discovered the Redbull Wings for Life event and I want to try and at least last 5K in 30mins during the event. It starts in May so I have time to prep.

Great video!

I will run 5 km on the blood run on Tuesday. It is a blood run you can give blood. The sades thing is I cannot do that because of my diabetes type 1. Good for those people who are running these blood runs 5 km or 1 mile or 5 km promenade. They who can give blood should give blood.

I'm thinking about running a 5K October 29. I haven't been running lately due to work and whatnot (just biking), but if I start running tomorrow and days ahead, would I be okay and able to run a 5K on the 29th? I used to run 5Ks, including a year ago.

the thing about music is that I hat running without it because it feels so boring and it puts me off but when I do listen to music I often get distracted by it and run out of pace and go too fast so it's a love hate with me

One step at a time simple

Will time will reduce in race compare to training time ??

Ok so are parkruns in the US? I’ve never heard of them

It's weird, but I hadn't run for 3 years, and the other day I ran my first 10k in 3 years, with a strapped up hamstring. My time was the 2nd fastest 10k I'd ever done. I don't understand that, as I felt like wasn't even trying. Bad hamstring, faster run - what the hell?

I done my 1st 5k dressed as santa after being on a bender non stop

Hey My running schedule is different.. Monday Running than Tuesday Rest. Wednesday running than Thursday Rest(means one day running and next day rest) What should I do..can I follow this schedule or change the schedule??

Hi can we get running channel sweat shirt or tee shirt eg ?? Many thanks paul

Wish me luck gonna run my first 5km on Monday without training.

every day i maintain my 5km or 10km a day i try to faster more mu pace

Nice video

Im running tommorow 😳

I am 202 lbs and can run 3k in 16 minutes without much effort but during my 4th km my stamina falls rapidly and during my 5th km I feel out of breath and have to jog atleast 4 times making my time shoot up to 31.30 minutes. I can't figure out what wrong am I doing as my performance seems to hit plateau.

I ran my first 5k today but didn't train still had fun though. Kinda hard but had to stop and walk quite a few times

About to run my first 5k in like an hour, (im probably going to be last place) Edit: just to clarify I'm participating in a race not just running 5k

How does a real world run compare to a treadmill 5k? I've been going to the gym three times a week since new year and running 5 mins during my workout. Last night I decided to run a five for the first time. I walked for four mins before running- ended up with a time of 27mins; I was pleased with that but think I cheated a bit by having kept the gradient at 0...

Left sock. ?

Bruh I just want to run a 5k on my own tomorrow

Wish we luck.... 😍 😍 😍 😍

Yeah six weeks I have 20 days

Anna is 🔥

today i ran 5k in 24min

Ultra MMA charity event
