Speaker 2
What I need as an athlete, Tim, is a video to max of 70 please, and then I'll be happy. Because right now, mate, I'm getting way too gassed with these little five to 10K runs that I'm doing. And I'm seeing your runs that you put up on Strava, and it's unbelievable, mate. I don't know how you're doing all this mileage.
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's um, it's consistency and it's just hard work. You know that like COVID was was really kind to me because I actually had a lot more time to train. So I took my 5K time down from mid 20s. I've hit 18 minutes now. Whether I can do it again, whether I've got the resilience to do it to back it up with another one. I don't know. It's just a little challenge for me to try and put a good program in place to get as much out of myself as possible. So
Speaker 2
how do you train? Are you doing, do you do long runs? You're dispersed with sort of threshold sessions or high intensity sessions. What's your principle with getting your 5k down? Just getting fitter and doing it over a long period of time?
Speaker 1
No, I mean, I, it's one thing to be fit enough to run a 5k, but then it's another thing to, to run those individual case fast enough. Yeah. You're going to be fast. Yeah. So, you know, in order to, in order to be fast, you, you've got to do some speed work. So, and speed work for a 5k runner is, is different from a, from a team sport or a, you know, a hundred meter runner, course. But on my fast days, generally, there's short efforts with longer rest and then I'll do a VO2 day, which is longer efforts with shorter rest, but then that might make up five to 10% of my overall running volume. The rest is kind of low intensity
