Hope you guys enjoyed my new video! I’m really happy with the progress that had been made, has anyone done this before? So annoyed that a music track that I used turned out to be copyrighted even though it said that it wasn’t 🙁

Its amazing progress. I did the same but 10K everyday for month - saw a similar reduction to yourself improving from 60 minutes to a 48 minutes PB. Wish you a speedy recovery

Well done mate takes a lot but hopefully you will be back even stronger

33 minute 5K is literally a dream for me at the moment ! 😂 Well done mate, speedy recovery.

You're gonna be a beast when you recover. Looking forward to part 2 man you're inspiring!

It seems like you’ve discovered some things about yourself through this personal challenge, kudos to you! While you have some downtime do some research and develop a plan that will challenge you both mentally and physically but will decrease the strain the increased miles will put on your body. You’re an inspiration, I wish you well!

Congrats on the progres! For someone who just starts running it can be discouraging to not see immediate results, or even in your case a bit of regression during week 1. The fact that you continued and saw some big improvements the following two weeks shows your hard work. Best of luck on your recovery.

Just watched this whole video, and was really surprised to see you only had 700 subscribers. Good luck for your recovery and looking forward to part 2

So sorry for what happened. However I am really proud of you!!! My jaw dropped when I saw how you made progress from a 33:00 min 5k to a 28 min 5k. So pround man. You are very inspirational and you should definitely keep it up. I believe you’ll be an outstanding runner after you recover, coming back even stronger. Much love and best of wishes to you! Oh and I’ll also follow you on strava to give you kudos on your future runs! Hope you’ll be active!

Keep going! I've had several operations in my life and I'm currently in the best shape of my life. Nothing can stop you!!

Tom, I randomly stumbled across this video and I am glad I did. I am shocked to hear that you broke your foot so close to achieving your 5k goal but I’m sure you will accomplish it! I am actually a going thru something similar in that I tore my ACL in the last 7s tournament of the season and could not play in the D1 college national tournament. Some times life comes at you fast to say the least. Best wishes to a speedy recovery! I hope to see a update video soon!!

Great video. Really well filmed and edited and I'm rooting for you for your second attempt at the challenge. Really sorry to hear about your injury, I hope the recovery goes well.

Dude! Keep. It. Up. This was so much fun to watch and you put a lot of thought into your editing. Without it being to much or taking away the flow. Your challenge went awesome. Your injury flanked you. For sure. And if you keep measuring with something that is impossible to do right now: you’ll stay gutted. But that’s not who you are. You’ve shown that already. Fuck the 5km challenge. The journey you just started is an even bigger challenge. Let’s blow that one out of the water. The 5km will be the cherry on top when you beat this injury. The way you handle this one will depict the outcome of this life changing challenge. And we’ll be here to watch. Subbed! Let’s go my man!

Top stuff mate, dont let the injury hold you back - come back stronger than before and please keep up the great videos

Mate that was absolutely incredible to watch. The level of determination to get through despite the pain and to do a part two is unreal. You should be mega impressed with your improvements. Trust me you always come back stronger. Top work lad!!!💪💪💪 (new subscriber)

I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery champ, you got this! Great video!

Hope you recover quickly and come back stronger. Good luck with part 2. You'll smash it 💪

Well Done Lad. Motivating myself to get back out running !

Best of luck with the recovery! You'll be back in no time. Edit: I started running regularly about 3/4 years ago and it's changed my life. Just enjoy the journey

Great video! Great style and editing - enjoyed watching this - all the best with your recovery :)

Loved the video❤Stay positive and keep on grinding these good vids👏🏻Hope you recover soon.

Ahhh man, so sad about the injury. Enjoyed the video, though, and love your determination. You'll definitely get back into things with that attitude. Good luck with the KZfaq journey too!

Stay strong ! You had me motivated, starting tonight.

Try and not let this set back hold you down, you’ll come back stronger than ever! The 5 minute improvement is extremely impressive, i know you can do it again :D

Damn, that twist at the end, hope you're feeling fine Tom! You can do it! Have a nice recovery =)

Great video . Sorry about your legs . I also refound running this year . Sitting here with shin splints because I ramped up to quick . Looking forward to seeing ep 2 you'll be back on the field and the pavement soon enough.

Great Video! Thanks for sharing. "However..." much love from Idaho. Heal quick.

Really great video. So good to mention how the scales don't tell you everything a lot of people can get caught up on the scales but they might be heavier due to muscle but can feel better and look better.

Thank you for documenting your journey! I'll have to try this! Please keep up the great work! Rest, recover, and I'm sure you'll get right back at it before you know it!

Brilliant video, was also great to see you say were starting to enjoy it too. Good luck with your recovery and I can’t wait to see the second part, all the best mate! 👍

Awwww. I am sorry. You made impressive progress, though. I do think it is best to allow time to recuperate and heal in the beginning, but you pushed through it. Look forward to part 2

Great video, hope your recovery goes well and look forward to seeing you complete the 30 day challenge in the future

Gained yourself a new sub mate, just your dedication to making this happen I’m sure is inspirational to a lot of people who are putting themselves down and in the “can’t do that” mindset I’ve only just recently started running and my search “cookies” have guided me to your video and I’m glad, rest up easy mate and get back to it when you can! You did so well, you had it in you to get to where you got and you can do it 10x over, well done

Just started on my running journey myself mate, getting ready for the rugby season. Can’t wait for part 2. Subbed

Congrats Tom, you are a tough guy ! Your progress was quick and you enjoyed it so much I think you just caught "the bug" ! It'll do you good, and honestly your times show promise and are remarkable. You are on to a journey to health, lots of pleasure, and accomplishments you can not even deam of now. Also, excellent positivity after your injury sure will make you overcome it easily. Thanks for your testimony of courage. Read information about running on the web, there are a lot of good resources. Don't follow silly advice like running 60 miles a week !! Do your thing, carefully. Wishing you the best.

Subscribed 20 seconds in this video. This is the type of content I love, and you deserve the attention for such a great achievement! Being a runner myself (i ran a half-marathon about a month ago), I heavily promote this kind of thing and appreciate it so much when people go out of their way to do any form of exercise. Also, that injury looks brutal. Everybody hates to have an accident when they’re going for something new, and one as bad as yours would honestly crush the mindset of many. I know I’d be absolutely crushed if that happened to me.

Geez, nice progress & super unfortunate injury :( Hope you continue to your running journey!

Excited for part 2 mate, unlucky what happened. Recover and get back at it

The progress is inspiring! Can’t wait for the comeback!

Great video mate, hopefully you will get well soon, looking forward to 5k for 30 days results

Amazing job man!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Stumbled across your channel from recommendations. Your editing is really good!

Watched this and was really impressed with the editing quality as much as anything else. Couldn't believe it when I saw a sub count under 1k, I would have guessed 50x that. Here's +1 for you. Good luck with the channel. Keep it up!

this was inspiring bro, wish you a speedy recovery.

Very inspiring. Looking forward to more of your content.

Take it easy man! You will be back before you know it! Slow and steady wins the race

Good video bro, hoping for a speedy recovery. Had to sub for part 2!

Love this for you! Excited to see part 2:)

Oh Mate so gutted for you. You absolutely smashed it with your progress. Nothing sucks more than an injury. You will gain resilience and will be mentally stronger after this. We are all gunning for you. Wish you a speedy recovery and can't wait to see you finish this challenge in the future.

Keep it up mate, great effort so far, no turning back

Real beast man! Looking forward to part two! 💪

Very cool video man. Looking forward to part 2.

Good for you bro, well done! It takes great discipline to do it every day no matter how you feel

Not the ending i was expecting! Hope you're recovered soon!

Respect mate you should be proud of yourself this injury will only make you tougher in the long run

Thanks for posting this. I feel motivated. Ive just completed a 30 day HIIT challenge but need to get back into running...after seeing this, I'm seriously considering doing your challenge through June. Wishing you a speedy recovery (no pun intended!)

You absolutely CANNOT skip rest day when running. A hard lesson I have learned when I first started.

Lovely video mate. I'm so sorry for that but guess what. We'll be waiting for part two. Get well soon!

Good on you for doing this, hoping you make a full recovery.

speedy recovery, can't wait for your part 2

Great video! Deffo try it again have a speedy recovery

You will recover! My brother broke his ankle a couple of years ago and this year ran his first marathon. Take it slowly, rest, recover and repair.

You are the best. Keep going, mate!

Well done bud, that takes serious mental strength

awesome stuff mate wishing u a speedy recovery!

Brother, hang in there. I ran well in high school for someone who didnt train consistently at all. My best was an 18:55 for 5k and a 5:07 for my one mile. I was 18 then. Fast forward 9 years later and I am a cross country coach and teacher who got sick of being out of shape and started running again. Last fall I was running 35 miles a week and was started to do some speed and thresh-hold work outs, but I got injured. I had a series of injuries that put me out of serious and consistent running for about 4 months. It's been frustrating, and I even thought that I would never run like that again. However, I about to run my second week in a row at 10 miles for the week. Hang in there, take recovery serious! Do what you need to do to get well and do not give up, my friend.

Speedy recovery! Godspeed mate!

Tom you look better. It's a great effort. Try again when you heal. You're young, only a hipcup in your journey.

Great video! I hope your leg is getting better, you should be proud of your progress…running is really high stress on the bones so this was a brave effort! PLEASE do this with swimming! Building up to a mile maybe? It would really help restrengthen your leg when you’re ready to start exercise again 💪🏾

Great vid , very informative. Well done .

Looking forward for your comeback brother, keep it up ! We want to see part 2 of this !

Great video, glad I found it! Quality editing. I've been running for about 9 years and have experienced a few really frustrating injury periods myself - just had 6 months out with a similar injury! When I'm coming back, I always try to remember that my aerobic fitness will improve much faster than my muscular strength. I try to stick to the 'no more than 5% extra mileage each week' rule when building up my training, even if it feels like I could do more, to avoid stressing out my body. And, as much as I'd love to see the results of 30 days of running every day, I also hope that if you try something similar again, you'll find a way of planning it that puts less stress on your legs... especially after they've suffered this injury. Idk what that could mean and I imagine you've already thought about it and received other suggestions in the comments. But it could be trying a 5K every week for 30 weeks / a year (e.g. a parkrun). Or setting your personal best time at every conceivable distance over the course of a year (which I reckon would be a great watch!). Whatever you wind up doing next, I hope you can continue to enjoy running after your injury. Thanks for the vid.

Tough days dont last, tough people do. Amazing progress, go again when you've recovered 🤜🤛

Ah no way! I was gutted when I saw your injury. I’m sure you will be back and I look forward to part 2

Class video man! Surprised to see you’re under 1k subs, the production value and authenticity deserves more! Good luck for the yt future 👏

Inspirational stuff. Really want to try this in the future

Hey Tom, randomly came across this video & love to see you getting after it mate. A few times a year I set myself the challenge to run 100km in the month. I usually break it down to 25km per week, 5 days of running & 2 rest days in any order… The body really does need some recovery time unless you’re fully conditioned for it & life loves to get in the way of plans so those 2 days withers let’s me rest when I need it or holds me accountable when I’m looking for excuses. Heal up & give it another crack, keen to see the results - especially mentally!🙌

“Don't let the setbacks of life hold you back. Let them propel you forward to greatness.” i'm on run streak day 888. You can do it mate!

Don't worry mate, you'll get where want too, all the best and get well soon

Hi Tom, love the pink rugby shirt you had on in hospital, looks amazing 🙂 Great video mate, take it easy see you soon🐍. #PropOnTheRun

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm healing from a ruptured Achilles tendon 3 months ago and looking forward to running again, but 1 step at a time....

Wishing you a speedy recovery bro 💪🏻

New sub here! I'm also on a run streak right now but only a mile a day! Keep your head up brother you will be massively successful.

good luck mate. serious injuries are soul destroying. just make sure you come back properly.

Thanks for sharing. I've also been focused on neglecting cardio in favor of strength training. I got into running 5ks on the treadmill for a small bit and liked the minute-by-minute improvements I was making.

For such a small youtuber. This is high quality man. Wow.

Hopefully you can recover fairly fast and you keep your head up, I'd recommend a challenge like a 10k or half marathon. Sometimes at the longer distances you can run slower and its a different type of challenge

Good luck mate you can do it!

What a bummer! Good luck dude

Good luck with the recovery. Best wishes.

I’m sorry dude, I went to play my first roller derby game last year and broke my ankle 5 minutes in. It’s horrible. Genuinely the toughest thing I’ve ever gone through in my life. I was starting to get my fitness back and then it all got taken away in an instant. It’s rough. I remember breaking down coming home from hospital because I couldn’t even climb the step to get into my house. It sucks having to let yourself heal, get back to walking, doing physio just to get back where you were and it took me a good 10 months to get there. Just take it easy and be kind to yourself. You were doing absolutely amazing before your injury, I can see you have that athlete mindset and you’ll be back in no time.

Hope you have a speedy recovery, and you'll break your old PB in no time

Well done! 5km is a good distance imho if you want to do it each day without running that much before. The video took a rough turn. Hope you get better soon

a few tips for to staying consistent are inhaling breathing through your nose when run, you can build this habit and improve sleep/recovery by taping your mouth shut while you sleep (eliminates sleep apnea improves cardiovascular health and recovery). You can try running fasted and doing one meal a day or intermittent fasting, stop eating about 3 hours before bed to increase sleep/recovery. To build back leg strength do tibialis raises and calf raises as well as hamstring curls. Improve ankle mobility by doing ankle rotations. Huge inspiration man don't be discouraged set backs are bound to happen, through this setback you are giving the opportunity to make your mental and physical weaknesses your strengths ! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ! cant wait to see part two.

Dude. I've been there. Literally. I'm more fit now after my break that I was before. This is an opportunity to become a man of steel now. Happy recovery

Solid work mate, it’s a setback, not a finish. You’ll do it.

Amazing video and i'm sorry for your injury, it sucks a lot. but i gotta say that because i live in a different climate it was funny to me that you didn't run because of that little bit of snow, thought i respect your decision. I live in finland and i run around the year so i need to run on snow and ice four months during the winter and beginning of spring😅

great work. Well done so far despite the set Backs and you will get there. Thanks for being real,

Wish you a good recovery. ❤

Hi Tom, randomly had your video come across my feed. I really felt your pain on having a promising training cycle derailed by injury, it’s so frustrating and discouraging. Actually, this happened to me when I first started “running seriously”. I overdid it and got a stress fracture in my foot, and decided to give it a second go once I recovered. Here I am 10 years later having run 1000s of kilometers, a marathon, and made some of my best friends in life through running. I didn’t plan on any of that at the time though. Not saying that you have to copy that, since everyone has their own journey to take with running, but more that I want to really encourage you to give it a second try, it seems like you were really enjoying it despite the hard work and it can really change your life in ways you might not expect! Get well soon 🙏
