    I'm 32 and had recently returned to running after having my second baby. A few months into regular parkruns I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I managed to maintain my running around surgery and radiation, but have since found out I will need a double mastectomy due to having the BRCA2 gene mutation.
    While awaiting my surgery I want to train for and complete my first marathon - I know that the fitter I am, the quicker my post surgery recovery will be. And, running during this whole challenge has kept me sane.
    Very inspired by your fast 5km Sarah!

    I am about to hit 60, and I am determine to complete a 5k in under 30 minutes. Over the years, I kept training, and getting so close, then some kind of injury or health issue would sideline me for a bit, and getting back my pace as i get older is getting harder and harder. But I will hit that sub 30 this year....

      I'm with you and my best was 25 mins and then illness back issues, now i will start again in the winterish months, heat does no favor's at all
      so walking fast over long distance and occasional runs for 30 mins or 5k so now at 32 mins

    • @asmith6647
      @asmith6647 Před 10 měsíci +2

      I average 24/25 mins for a 5k run now and was stuck at 30 mins-ish…..I started running longer training distances like 7 or 8k and this made 5k much easier. I’m 62 so you can do it!!

    I only started running in feb this year and my 5k is about 34 minutes. My goal is to try and get that down, maybe under 30?! I've really loved watching you share your running journey, it's really motivating to me! Thank you for filming this 😊

      Congratulations on your progress so far! Only a small percentage of people are runners so simply taking up running is a big deal.
      You're doing great, by the way, and will definitely be able to get your 5K time below 30 minutes.

    Love this! My goal is a sub-one-hour 10K. I was close last summer with a 1:02:34 but Life happened and now I am working my way back to being able to run 10K at all. It would be amazing to be able to hit that sub-one-hour goal in the next year.

  • @iggalan
    @iggalan Před 10 měsíci +9

    I'm mostly a triathlete. If you're looking to sign up for your first one be sure to train for the swim and do some trainings in the open water, this is key. Swimming only in the pool is not enough, some people swim fine in the pool but get stressed up in the open waters, so train for that! Also train the transitions, simulate the T1 and T2 over and over in the two weeks before, so on race day you'll know what to do. Make a checklist of everything you need, it's a bit of a nightmare logistically speaking. But in the end it's worth it, it so fun doing all three sports in one event 🏊‍♂🚴🏃 Oh, depending on distance nutrition is very important, but for short distance it won't require much, maybe two or three gels and a water bottle in the bike.

    I love these honest videos of the ups and downs of training! Stoked to see the progress you were able to make in a few weeks Sarah :) I've just been given a charity place for the 2024 London Marathon and would love to also go sub-4hrs. The furthest I've ever run before is 15km, so there's lots of work to do before next year!

Thanks so much for the video, you're an inspiration Sarah! I always look up to you all when I'm in one of my running "lows" and you help me to remember why I love running so much!

    Thank you for your honesty in this video Sarah. I struggle with mental strength just as much as running strength and it’s good to see I’m not the only one.
    I want to train for my first ultra next year to see if I can achieve that length.

    Love your videos Sarah...I'm 55, had new hips 2 years ago and run Park Run in Perth each Saturday in around 30 mins. Think I'm inspired to try the Runna app and increase my training to perhaps reduce my parkrun time to 27 mins and maybe do a 10km to under 1 hour. Good Luck to all our running buddies in achieving your goals.

    This is one of the best TRC videos. I've signed up to RUNNA to train for the Manchester Half Marathon in October. Aiming for sub 90 minutes. Just finishing my first week of sessions. Just like Sarah I enjoy the intervals and hate the Tempo sessions 😂.

    Congrats Sarah - well done! I did try Runna a few months ago but had issues with workouts being different in the app compared to what was in garmin - hopefully they've fixed that now. I plan to try it again after GNR for my first Ultra (50k). Great Vid x

    I'm training for a half marathon which is now only 7 weeks away!! Super nervous but very, very excited!! My mid/long term goal is to get sub 2 hours for a half marathon, which I'm very excited to keep training for!! I also just want to thank all The Running Channel team for your amazing, informed videos and newsletters. They are such good value and have completely kept me encouraged and excited for running! Thankyou so much.

  • @WestNottsRunner
    @WestNottsRunner Před 10 měsíci

    Well done Sarah 🎉 A great new PB especially as you only did half the plan! Your old 5k PB was pretty much the same as mine currently is so you've given me some inspiration now to try and improve that. Looks like I may need to get used to strength work too that I don't do any of at the moment. Just a 12 hour endurance race in just over a week to get out of the way first 😊

  • @teagalore
    @teagalore Před 10 měsíci

    This is great! After your first video with Runna, I immediately downloaded it and I've managed to get back to my original running pace (7:00 - 8:00) after three years off and having COVID last March! Did my 5k "race" in 29 mins and now on my 10k plan! Thank you for introducing me to Runna ☺️
    Overall, I would love to work up to a marathon!

  • @carlhumanbcrab
    @carlhumanbcrab Před 10 měsíci +25

    ive got 8 weeks left until my first ever half marathon so i think the only reasonable next goal for me, is a marathon next year

    • @Kelly_Ben
      @Kelly_Ben Před 10 měsíci +4

      It depends on your body's definition of "reasonable", and if your goals are based on specific finish times, or simply finishing for the experience. So many people hold themselves to rigid running rules that don't take into account their own fitness, recovery speed, etc. Don't hold yourself and your goals hostage to other people's rules, when they should really be rough guidelines along your personal journey. You could be ready for a marathon in November, or need another year to toughen your body up. Best wishes in your race, and your future goals!

    • @ScrappyCoCo0
      @ScrappyCoCo0 Před 10 měsíci

      Same for me. First half marathon in 14 weeks and planning to run my first marathon in Rotterdam next year. Taking the training relatively showly to avoid more injury.

    • @Alyssa684
      @Alyssa684 Před 10 měsíci

      Yeah your next reasonable goal is whatever you body and mind enjoys! Could be that you see how many half marathons you can safely do and enjoy next year! Maybe you switch to trail if you haven’t already. I’m doing 6 half marathons this year and am only just starting to consider increasing mileage to full and ultras. Give yourself time to establish a super strong base rather than always reaching!

    Well done!!! 👏👏 I've been trying to train for a marathon for over 2 years now but as you say "life gets in the way" everytime I have reached 2/3 of my training (injuries, work, etc.) . I really hope runna can give me that extra push and can give me the training plan I need to avoid demotivation or tapping out bc of pain. I've tried multiple free programs but I could never stick to them bc of boring strength training sessions inbetween and overall a lack of in depth information that I am curious about. Thank you for the video! ❤

    Loved this video. The struggle can be frustrating at times. I’m retraining for a 5k after an injury. My ideal goal will be to eventually run a marathon but starting at getting back to a 5k, then it will be 10K, then half marathon to eventually get to a marathon. Thank you for your honesty and it is hard to get over the mental aspects sometimes.

    @freiavr Před 10 měsíci +2

    I started running last year when colleagues convinced me to join the 5K leg of a relay race. Not being particularly fit and a little overweight, I didn't think I could actually do it, but gave it a go anyways - and I really enjoyed it :D I've participated in a few 5K runs since and now I want to improve on that with the ultimate goal of running a half-marathon next year!

    Great video. Well done on the run Sarah. Runna seems like a good app, providing not only running but other resources too. With a years subscription I would firstly try for a 5k pb. I am generally an ultra runner and Runna could hopefully get me well motivated to push hard at a shorter distance.

    Good to see you grappling with a “down spot” in training - they hit all of us from time to time and capturing the lows as well as the highs helps us all realise its just part of the process!

    Runna looks great. Coming back from a bit of an injury so starting from scratch a bit, but medium term aiming for LLHM next April, so would love to proceed through each Runna training plan in sequence.

    Currently training for my first marathon in november, just a week before my birthday, with a goal of sub 3:30. Hope to succeed, and I'm using the garmin trainer thing where you input the event and it does all the planning for you, liking it thought it's missing strength/core workout

    Awesome PB Sarah!!
    2014 I broke my back and was told I was lucky to be walking, to which they also found I had spinal cancer. Fast forward a few years and I started running in 2022 with a few runs here and there, then added a couple of Park Run's. I then joined my local running club in April 2023 and also have a 5k PB of 20:54. At the ripe old age of 37 I may get a sub 20 by the end of the year.

    I´m currently training for a sub 25min 5k and the next thing will probably be a sub 2 hour half-marathon!! I´d love to train with Runna, seems challenging yet fun!:)

  • @joan7096
    @joan7096 Před 10 měsíci

    Love watching your videos, especially that it's not only the happy and glorious moments but that you also show difficulties and failing. It makes it so relatable. I've run my first marathon this year on the road but would like to run more trails. So my goal for next year is to do the two mountain trail races Transruinaulta (42k) and Transviamala (19k the following day) in Switzerland and earn my batch of the "valley queen" for finishing them both. Just have to figure out now how to train for such an event. ☺

  • @johnrwilker
    @johnrwilker Před 10 měsíci

    Congratulations Sarah on the PB! I took up running in 2021 at the age of 56 for physical and mental health reasons after Covid. I ran because I wanted to do an Ironman. In 2022, I did an Ironman 70.3 and a marathon and while not the best efforts, I finished and was incredibly happy with myself. I had lots of race and time improvement goals this year but have been sidetracked by injuries all year so my 2023 goals are out the window. However, if I can stay healthy next year, I’m going to run a 4 hour marathon and finish a full Ironman. I need a good training plan that I can stick to. I know my injuries this year have been from trying to do too much. I’ve seen so many CZcams videos about the pitfalls of this but I hope that I have finally learned my lesson. 🤞

    About to start training for Valencia marathon in 2/3 weeks time. Aiming for a 3:45 ish pace having got my sub 4 in Manchester in April! Runna will give some much needed motivation and structure!

  • @thezurichrunner
    @thezurichrunner Před 10 měsíci

    Very impressive! Congratulations! I want to tackle my first 100k next year, and while that sounds still far away, it actually isn't, as the days are just ticking away. A tool like Runna seems to be a great motivator, help with accountability, and even more importantly, structure. 👍

  • @AndrewSidarta24
    @AndrewSidarta24 Před 10 měsíci

    What an inspirational video. I'm returning to run after few months off and I'm looking forward to get fit again while aiming for sub 1 hour 10k. I have never run with a program previously and seeing the app I'm really interested on how detailed the app is, plus with the strength training.

  • @jennierayner2152

    I am in week 2 of half marathon training with Runna and I think so far my favourite thing is the variety of the workouts, I especially love how the long runs are broken into segments so a) you get to practice your target pace and b) they somehow go so much faster?? I am having trouble keeping under pace for my easy runs (runners and their stupid pride!....noooo! i can't have something that slow showing up on Strava 😭) but that's where discipline comes in. and trusting the process! Massive congrats, Sarah, on the new PB...i hope to join in you in ten weeks time with my fastest half!

    I will be running the Great South 10 miles in October and the Reading half next March. I only started running in March of this year. One 5k run completed in June in 46:45. The anxiety is running high, but I love it!

    I always found running really hard as a kid but now I’m older it has literally changed my life, I recently did the Hull 10k and achieved it in just over an hour which I was so proud of but I’ve booked in for the coastal 10K in October so want to really challenge myself and complete that race in 45 mins, the Runna app would help achieve that!! I love this video😍

    I just started using Runna, and honestly, it's the best running app I've ever used! I'm trying to get a new 5K pb as a beginner runner! So we'll see!! Great video, as always!

    I’ve lost my motivation for running, due to being constantly in pain, maybe I should give run a a try, the strength and conditioning in a plan, sounds like a fantastic idea.

  • @siralator5839
    @siralator5839 Před 10 měsíci

    I am currently training for a 10k trail with runna and love it. Next year definitely a half marathon and the full year subscription would be sooo helpful for me as a student.

    Cool app! I’m happy to see you cross training. Watch your form in your KB swing- it’s primarily a hip hinge to activate the back body (hammys / glutes/ back), vs a quad-dominant squat! Go Sarah!
