Faster 5km – 28 Day Challenge

Half Ironman Racing

Want to get fitter and faster for Park Run or another 5km series?

This programme is designed for runners of all abilities to run a faster 5km.

Crafted by myself, Ray Boardman PGDipSportsMed, PGDipRehab, PGCertSc (Exercise Science), BSc (Anatomy), DipSportsStudies this plan encapsulates my passion for the sport, my experience from completing numerous triathlon events over the last 33 years and coaching many triathletes over the last 23 years.

Here is an example of one of the many PBs that athletes achieved during the 28 Day Beta Trial

Purchase of this plan gives you access to my fortnightly coaching calls where you can ask me any training or racing related questions.

I played around with some of my clients’ programming including my own. This has had some dramatic results. Over a 4 week period I’ve taken my 5km time from 23:20 to 21:09 (9% improvement) and Jamie, a client of mine, has dropped nearly 3 minutes from 25:36 to 22:37 (12% improvement). That’s just in the last 4 weeks.

Previously I’ve run a 5 week group coaching session called 5 Weeks to a Faster 5km which also saw some big improvements:

New Threshold data recorded on an athletes Garmin during the 28 Day Beta Trial
  • Laurie Anne Murdoch improved by 5:18 minutes from 43:58 to 38:40 (12% improvement)
  • Kate McNabb improved by 5:00 minutes from 36:28 to 31:28 (14% improvement)

I asked the subscribers of my website what they wanted the most help with and a similar theme came through. A lot of people wanted help to:

  • Improve their running,
  • Get faster at Park Runs,
  • Enhance their running efficiency, etc.

These all fitted nicely with what I’ve done with myself and Jamie the over the four weeks, so I’ve taken the best of my 5 Weeks to a Faster 5km programme and packaged it all up nicely into a 28 day challenge that is delivered fully online and can be done from anywhere in the world.

This programme is great and will generate great results for you. So confident am I that I’ll give you a 100% money back guarantee if you don’t improve your 5km time over the 4 weeks. I don’t care what your excuse for running slower is after the 4 weeks…..

  • I didn’t do any training…..
  • It was raining…..
  • It was windy…..
  • I slept in…….

I’ll still give you a 100% refund.

If you run a regular 5km, whether it is a Park Run or local 5km series this programme is for you. I don’t give the 33min+ runner the same programme as the sub 20 minute runner. I’ve got a number of variations of the programme that will help you improve significantly.

As part of the programme you get a training plan based on your current ability that you can fit into your current running programme. If you currently run 5 times per week, I’ll give you 5 workouts to do. If you only run 3 times per week I’ll give you three workouts to do. I don’t want you stressing about where to find time to do two extra runs and then getting despondent because you can’t find the time to do the extra sessions. Your programme will fit your current lifestyle.

It’ll also be based around how long you are currently running for. If you only run for 30 minutes at a time, I will slowly progress that in one run each week over the coming weeks to push it out to 45 minutes. But if you can already run for 50 minutes, I’ll be smart and not drop you back to the 30 minute mark. This Faster 5km 28 Day Challenge is tailored to your current ability.

This isn’t an easy training challenge, hence the word challenge. But it is a smart challenge that will progress you, improving the efficiency of your heart and lungs, which will mean you can run faster for the same amount of effort. Some programmes depending on your starting point will include fartlek or speedwork sessions amongst the programming.
