This milestone of getting under 20 minutes for 5K has been a while in the making. I tried and failed a couple of times, once in June, once last year
It’s tricky to do
But it requires time.
After giving up rugby and just lifting I got to my heaviest and lifting big weights, but if I had to move anywhere fast it would be a struggle
I got back into running about 2022 before I did HYROX Glasgow
It felt difficult and the progress was slow. All the aches and pains along the way and niggles and set backs
But I have stuck to it
More recently time has been super limited, who knew having a baby and a business would do that 🤷♂️
So I’ve had to adapt, I would love to train more but it just doesn’t work
So instead I’ve commited to short sessions 4 times a week no more than an hour
Get 💩 done and get out
The proof is in the pudding, smart training and giving it the time it needs = results 💪
Big shout to Next Percent | Men’s Hyrox and Hybrid Performance Coaching for keeping me on track
