How I'm Using Garmin Connect and TrainingPeaks to train for a NEW PERSONAL BEST

Описание: On 15th March 2025, I am going to try (again) to run a 5KM in under 20 minutes, using Garmin Connect and TrainingPeaks to help me achieve it.

--------------------------------------------

In 2023 I was 13 second short of breaking 20 minutes over the 5km distance, having trained for 5 weeks using the Garmin Race Widget.

This is a goal I've had since I started running back in 2012 and for years I thought it was an unrealistic dream, having not even gone under 21 minutes until early 2023.

I had originally planned my next attempt for December 2024 and had started a training plan using the last weeks of my RUNNA subscription, but unfortunately an injury in late November put that plan on hold.

No longer being an active subscriber to RUNNA, I looked to other platforms and for this plan I am following a specific Sub 20 minute 5km Plan through TrainingPeaks.

I am writing my workouts into Garmin Connect, as the specific plan I am following from TrainingPeaks does not give me that option, so I can be guided through my runs via my watch, a Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2).

My plan is 8 weeks, culminating in the 5km race at the Podium Festival in Leicester on Saturday 15 March.

This video will cover how I have found TrainingPeaks as a platform, as well as how my first week of training has gone.

The next video in this series will be a training check in at the 4 week (half way) point.
