The illusive sub 20 minute barrier, a significant milestone for runners everywhere. We hate to break it to you, but there’s no quick fix to running 3:59/km for 5km or 6:25/mile for 3.1 miles and with so much information at our finger tips, formulating a plan can feel overwhelming.

In a bid to cut through the noise and get you well on your way to smashing your next race, we teamed up with Team Project Run Founder and newly signed Nike Coach, Lloyd Kempson to gain valuable insight from his numerous years of coaching everyday runners like you and me, to elite internationals.

So get the kettle on, and enjoy the video below!

We hope that you were able to pick up some golden nuggets from Lloyd to apply to your own training! If you’re looking for the perfect shoe to accompany your next 5k attempt, why not give our intuitive Shoe Finder tool a go here!
