I hit 20:49 at my first HS cross country meet as a Senior. My goal is sub 20 and you’ve been such an inspiration to me starting my running journey this summer. Update: I just ran my first sub 6 mile today. 5:55 baby Update 2: I ran 20:28 yesterday. Jobs not finished yet Update 3: Its been a few weeks, but I just ran 19:57 at the Wingfoot XC classic if anyone knows what that is. Thanks to all the people sharing their progress and encouragement!
Nice, i got a 5:58 1600 but track stopped shortly after. my most recent is 6:22 (not against anyone, just alone) im trying to catch back up before year round swim starts.
Nice job dude! I'm about to run a Cross Country race today (I'm a junior) and I'll try to get under sub-20 for you! Edit: The conditions in my meet were horrible 💀 plus one of my hamstring tendons were dealing with inflammation so... Not today guys
I run cross country for my high school team so I have noticed that if you work on improving your running form it will greatly increase your efficiency thus allowing you to run faster times without working as hard.
I am almost 50, 5’10.5” and 174 pounds. I haven’t been running that long or with too much consistency. When I am going at an 8:30 pace, I feel like I am flying. 😂 I don’t know how people can run at a 6 minute pace. I would be full out sprinting. I don’t even think I could sprint fast enough to get much below a 6 minute pace and definitely couldn’t maintain it.
I didnt want to say it 🤣 I love Matt but I know him well enough that this is about 2 minutes off at the least. If 60 year old men are running 15-16 mins at my local 5k, this man running a sub 3 hr marathon can run a sub 20 5k in his sleep
Im on the slower end with 25:24. I have been running for about a year and everything before that was little to no exercise. Hopefully I can get sub 24 before this year ends Update: Currently at 22:18. I think I can go a bit faster Update: 21:16 Update: 20:35 during practice
Enjoy the process brother! Consistency is the secret weapon. Every runner worst nightmare is over training and not being able to run anymore. Plantar fasciitis 😅
I ran my first 5k at 30:10 this past April. That was after not doing any real distance running for years, but still decently active. This October im trying to go sub 25!
@@ks-ok1oc i've been there..before i could only run half a mile..suggestion is to keep running at a slower, you'll last longer to build up endurance. And ever so often, so short distance burst runs
Dont judge you don't understand people's body types he might be built for a mile not a 5k it's really discouraging to try hard and have people say you weren't trying
Just offering some perspective: it's really encouraging when someone has enough confidence in my ability that they think I had more left to give, or that I wasn't trying. Neither view is wrong in this situation, but man I think it's cool to understand that this notion can be received in contrary manners. It helps develop consideration in the long run. Thank you both for sharing your ideas
I'm about to run a 5k today, and currently my pr is 20:30 so you're only a minute ahead of me! I think that if you did more 5k's you could get down to a 17-18 minute 5k, because I mean, you've already ran a sub-5 mile, and you'd probably be able to get better
My first ever 5k was 19:32 freshman year of high school. And in sophomore year my best is 16:38. Keep of the work and running is a sport where it doesn’t come overnight.

Good thing about Texas is you get hot and cold. My best is a 17:11 but ran against a few people who hit sub 15s, their shoes were hotter than any sun shining
My best was 17:46 as a senior in highschool! As a 31 year old I took up running 5Ks again as I have a marathon to run next year. Best so far this year is 21:00… hoping to get to 18:30-19:30 range eventually. 😅😂
Ran for the first time in about 10 years , jumped on the running machine did a 5k straight away no warm up took me 30 minutes , that was my first one ever
Why do you have two watches? Is the other one plainly for intervals? I got a smart watch that does not have lap timer so i bought a Timex for lap sessions, but wondering if i should wear both.
Let's fucking go I thought my time was very bad but turns out it's average I do 5k in averagely about 19mins. I was expecting to hear him say he runs his in 15
