Instead of using a metronome, you can create a playlist with music at ~180bpm. There are such playlists out there or create your own.

Thank you so much for your guidance. I started running last week of June this year. It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish 5km before, and now my personal record is 32 minutes for 5Km.

One exercise I've been loving is a calf raise into a toe raise a few days/week. Improving my toe, foot strength has been so beneficial, helped improve my speed quickly and feel lighter. Can't believe I just discovered this after 23 years of running. Also wearing my BP hats - gettingitdone ; ). Great Video - thanks Ben.

I always wondered why I felt more comfortable in my running form when running uphill than in flat sections... now it makes sense!

Personally and for me, I think the most important factor, besides training, is reducing weight. Whenever I gain an extra kilo or two, my time drops significantly.

This is my third year running, and I had no idea cadence helped make runs easier. In my most recent race (5k) my average cadence was 177, but on my normal runs it’s usually around 165. I’ll try quickening it up, thanks for the tip!

The chant that the fish in the fish tank do on finding Nemo gets stuck in my head when i’m focussing on cadence. Puts me at about 185 spm. Ha-hoo-wa-hee-ha-ho-ho-ho!

The most important thing is how to run faster with low HR.

I just checked my cadence and apparently I have been running with around 130-140 steps per minute for months... I will definitly work on improving that
