So my steemit friends ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป

Is there anyone who has ran 5K in 20 minutes? (I'm sure there is).

This is a challenge for one of my clients, he wants to be able to run 5K in 20 minutes and I will be writing him a plan, I will also be blogging about his journey in my future posts (If he sticks to it ๐Ÿ˜„). My client is running 5K in 27 minutes at the moment - excited to see the future results ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Stay tuned with more posts about the 5K in 20 minute challenge.

Why not take the challenge as well?? Send me a comment and let me know what time you are running 5K in at the moment ๐Ÿ˜€!!

My best recent time was 5K in just under 25 minutes (I forget the exact number), thats not bad for an old fella like me.

I had a sports massage on calves yesterday, so maybe I will be running again soon.

We need to get you to 20 minutes Stevo!

Well thats 15km/h pace, I hope there is a big net to catch me as I shoot of the back of the treadmill!

My target last year was to run a 5k in under 19 mins. I was running just under 21 mins at the time. The year was going great and managed to get to 19:30 at around June/July and was pretty confident of getting under 19 mins. Then all over a sudden I just burnt out in August and could not get back in to it. It totally ruined the rest of the year and the confidence which I had, was just gone. So I am back to it this year, but am concentrating on higher miles with lots more easy and recovery runs. I have my first 5k race at the end of march (have not raced at all since I burnt out) so will see where I am at then.

Also, I found sub 20 was a mind thing. I knew my body could do it, but my mind was holding me back as I was not confident enough at the time.
