Don Stillwell Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Time is relative to the individual. Work on beating your best. Don't just focus on the 5k. Running a 10k will also help with your 5k time. Alternate your distances in your workouts. Remember your biggest obstacle is your mind. Your body can do more than your mind thinks it can.

wmargon Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 My son is a running - sub 5 miler and can run forever! He taught me that to increase my time I should take a 30 minute countdown on my timer. Run as fast as I can for as far as I can. Walk until I can catch my breath....repeat until the 30 minutes has elapsed. It's exhausting...but it really works Don Stillwell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
