I want to get to a sub-20 minute 5k this season

run daily with progressive overload and you’ll get there

Nice but remember to set realistic targets as that’s very hard to do - what are you currently getting?

25:27 is my PR, but I almost beat it today (missed it by a few seconds)

Sorry but that seems unrealistic. It becomes tougher and tougher to cut off a minute, so I would aim for something realistic like sub 23-24

To quote Kanye West, “Aim for the stars so if you miss you land on the clouds”

But setting yourself unrealistic targets will just demotivate you further. Sorry to say but cutting down 5 minutes in a year is a ridiculous target and it won’t happen. Focus on cutting down to sub 23 first, that’s still a good time

my goal is to cut off like a minute at every meet we do (which might be too much to ask, but I think I can)
