For the past several months, I have been trying to improve my 5K timings. The good thing is, there are tons of FREE videos on YouTube by top running pros offering tips on how to run a fast 5K.

I sat down and watched lots of videos to improve my 5K speed. but guess what happened? Just watching youtube videos didn’t get me anywhere.

To run a fast 5K (or a marathon for that matter), one has to actually practice running faster each day. As you try running faster, your body learns & slowly transforms itself to deliver the aerobic performance needed on race day.

All that Content

Just like running videos, there is a lot of Product advice on the internet — Newsletters, Twitter threads, Blog posts, Free and Paid courses, you name it. And some of this content comes from the best in business, people who’ve built products in the top companies of the world.

We love to read their experiences, listen to them talking about the amazing products they’ve built. Of how they turned an epiphany into a multi-million dollar business.
