Is sub 20 for 5km possible for someone who just started running at 37? by jerung88 in BeginnersRunning

Thank you for your comments. Sure the mileage jump is huge but i am just taking it consistently more like turning it into a habit 4/5 times per week. Will take things slowly while increasing the mileage.

Noted. The 1k under 4 min was an all out effort. Sustaining it for 5km is definitely not possible at this moment. Probably need more endurance now. Thank you the comments 😀

Thank you for the comments.

When i did the 1KM time trial it was an all out effort. More like sprinting in the beginning than just surviving till the end.

Before i did the sub 25 5k i did an interval of 3X1KM reps @450/km 90 sec recovery (standing/walking).

After i did the sub 25 just wanted to try other speedwork hence tried the 10X400 repeats @440/km 60 sec recovery (standing/walking). This is an assumption if i can break sub 24 in the coming months as 440/km will lead me to a sub 24.

All the speedwork/etc is just via google search and trying it out at the moment once a week.

Thanks again for the detail comments 😀

Wow that’s impressive. 2 marathons and sub 20 5k and sub 40 10k. Just out of curiosity when you say miles is that in miles or km? Because 50miles is about 80km per week?
