You’re out on those trails again? I’m trying to cut my 5k time to 19 minutes. What’s your training routine?

Yeah, hitting the trails at dawn, the wind in my hair, that’s my jam! For a 19‑minute 5k, I mix it up with a few key moves. First, a good warm‑up: easy jog for 10‑15 minutes, then dynamic stretches—leg swings, high knees, ankle rolls. Then hit a tempo run, 5‑6 miles at a steady pace just below your target race pace, that’s the sweet spot for building speed and endurance. Next, do some interval work—like 8×400m sprints at 90‑95% effort with a minute or two of jog in between. That spikes your VO₂ max and trains your body to recover fast. Don’t forget hill repeats: pick a moderate hill, run up hard, jog down easy, 6‑8 reps, it builds power. Finally, cool down with a light jog and static stretches. Keep it consistent, add a rest day or a cross‑train session (bike or swim) for active recovery, and you’ll see those minutes drop. Let’s crush that 19!

Nice plan. Keep the warm‑up solid, don’t skip the dynamic stretches or you’ll bite yourself later. Tempo should feel like a slow fight, not a sprint. Intervals—hit them hard, then really let that recovery hit, you’ll build a lot of VO₂. Hills are brutal but they’re the best way to get stronger in the same time. After you’re done, stretch enough to keep the muscle loose, otherwise the next day you’ll be feeling it. Rest or bike for a day, keep the routine strict. When you hit 19 it’ll feel like you just broke a personal record, not a random lucky run. Stay sharp.

Hey, check out the Riverside Loop – it’s a 4‑mile course with a mix of rolling hills and flat stretches, perfect for pacing and speed work. Start at the bridge, hit the uphill for a solid 400m sprint, then cruise on the downhill and keep the rhythm. It’s a great spot to test your tempo and do a few intervals right on the trail. Let’s hit it hard and see that 19 minute pop!
