It’s for anyone who is keen to run under 25 minutes for 5k. Of course, this covers a wide range of runners; for example, a new runner who has just run their first 5k in 27 minutes and wants to target 25, or, an experienced runner who has been just outside of 25 for years and feels they need more structured training to make the time. The type of training that these runners do will be as varied
This video was shot just before the 14 mile point at the London Marathon in 2018.
At this point the runners in the leading group were running faster than world record pace. The video illustrates nicely the varied running form of the best male distance runners in the world.
The video shows, in order:
1st runner is pace.
2nd runner (and winner) Eliud Kipchoge in orange shorts.
It’s probably my age, and maybe I’m a little self-conscious. I also get to hear plenty of amusing often derogatory remarks about runners who are maybe bolder and like to set their stall out, so to speak — I guess Robin Hood pulled it off ok.

After discovering Strava and using the app extensively with a smartphone whilst cycling, I began using the Garmin more often whilst running to upload running data to Strava.
However, increasingly, the Forerunner has been causing damage to my wrist,
The science says yes. Perhaps it’s easier to understand when we consider how the brain must be involved in developing a muscle once it has been worked and that it is also quite easy to fool the brain into
Peter Snell had a rather brief athletic career. A surprise 800m Gold in the 1960 Rome Olympics, world records for 800m, 880yds and 1 mile in 1962. Olympic Golds for 800m and 1500m in 1964.
In 1965 he retired from competition and began his career in sports physiology.
His finishing speed was astonishing. We tend to think of finishing speed being developed solely by speed training. But, according to
