My 2 year journey to a SUB 20 minute 5K |
|
I hadn't run a sub 20 5K for nearly 2 years. After an injury in 2019, it had been a long recovery process, slowly building back up and chipping away at the 5K parkrun time.
Slowly, this time came down and down until at the back end of 2020, I ran surprisingly close to the 20 minute barrier. And so, once Iโd run the 500km challenge at the start of the new year, I knew, that maybe, just maybe I was finally ready to break the barrier that had eluded me for nearly 2 years. Can running 500km slow, help with running 5km fast? ๐โโ๏ธ๐ JOG ON Training Plans: https://www.thisisjogon.com/trainingplans ๐๐งก JOG ON running kit: https://www.thisisjogon.com/shop ๐ Running Shoe Recommendations: ๐ Training Shoe of Choice The HOKA Rincon 3: https://tidd.ly/40pfzUF ๐ Recovery Shoe of Choice The HOKA Bondi 8: https://tidd.ly/402dle7 ๐ Race Shoe of Choice The HOKA Rocket X 2: https://tidd.ly/3ZTnTMA ๐ฉณ Running Shorts of Choice The HOKA Glide 5โ Short: https://tidd.ly/3ZZEfTR This YouTube channel may occasionally contain affiliate links, which means JOG ON can receive a small commission on a purchase without additional cost to you.
