Achieving a sub 20 5k. Carps86 . August 2019 in General running. Hi all. My biggest aim is to get under 20 mins over 5k, my PB at parkrun is 21.12 which was 4 years ago. My PB for this year is 22.08.
Good idea but this will get trolled. That said, my last 5k was 19:10 at the beginning of August. Leading up to that I had a 9 week rolling average of 25.2 miles, with a low of 9 and high of 41.
Sharing my training journey. I did it! I finally did my first sub-20 min 5K. I have been consistently training for 7 weeks to break that barrier where I went from 24:54 to 21:54 to 20:46 and finally to 19:43 on race day. Anyway, here is what I did. I have always been a runner who's in a decent shape and fitness level.
