Hi my name is Conor, I’m from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 and I love to Run, from a hungover jog to an all out Marathon. I’ve been there and done that. I started running in July 2025 and by October I achieved a sub 20 min 5k (19:56). I did this through using the plan which is available in my “How To Run a Sub 20 5k” course in my classroom. My personal favourite Run is 400m repeats. Heres a link to my Strava, you may stalk it and find proof: https://strava.app.link/0kqaCtYXp3b Excited to help people on their journey to reach the same goal I did. Comment the fastest 5k you have ever ran?

Never heard of this until recently. Whenever I run I just try run as fast as I can lol. Then it takes 2 full days to recover. Trying to understand what aerobic base means. Is it like building a muscle?

Goal: Sub 90 Hyrox. To do that I need to get better at running. So sub 20 5k seems like a great goal. First 5k I've done in a long time was 24 minutes. Next Hyrox probably December so have time to train. Current training is basically just 2 Barrys per week. There is running involved in every session but I never run outside of that. We have the Hermosa 5k on Sunday so I'm trying to figure out what I should do this week. I pay for Barrys on a monthly subscription with 8 classes per month so I kinda have to do two barrys per week unless I change my plan to a pay-per-class thing which I could do if it makes most sense for me to reach goal. Barrys also helps with strength which is good for hyrox goal too. I went to Barrys this morning and it's pretty intense so usually takes me two full days to recover. What/when should I train this week to make sure I have juice in the tank for Sunday? @Conor Quinn
