Got some good tips and knowledge in this video mate and you are always down to earth - serious when you need to be and funny the rest of the time! Love it! Thank you for the shout out Lee. Really appreciate it. That sub 20 is coming real soon! Can't wait for it mate!
Cheers mate , do appreciate you can see that , I do like to muck about and have a laugh 😂but I do take it seriously as well , I train really hard and give it everything on race day - glad you can see that . I just try to be me 👊👊👊 thanks again mate
Those breathing patterns are really interesting. I recognise that chuffing like a train sound from my own efforts. Your commentary is excellent. I sometimes find longer pov videos a bit tedious but you've got the knack for keeping the interest up. You'll get that sub 20 soon mate. 💪💪👍🏻
😂😂 I feel your pain mate 👍🏻- cheers Mark really appreciate the comment about the commentary just trying something new glad you liked it . To be honest i sound abit deflated on the voice over (because I was 😂) I’ll have - few gels next time so I’m buzzing - hope your well and recovering well from your ultra 👍🏻👍🏻
I absolutely get where you're coming from. I'm also chasing a sub 20 5k, getting an average of 20:10. There's been days I've felt confident didn't get it, then also got a pretty decent time not long after a race. Or some days the training goes well but on the morning of parkrun the weather is rubbish. I'm confident we'll get there. Subscribed 👍
Welcome to the channel mate 👊you’re exactly right in what you’re saying, at the moment I still feel I can do it right now but everything would have to be perfect but with more training I will be be able to do it everytime and so will you mate 👍🏻 nothing good is easy and the sub20 certainly isn’t. I’ve heard it’s about only 2-3% of actual runners have achieved this so when you get there take time to appreciate what you’ve done - lace up and empty the tank 👊💪🏃♂️💨
Cheers mate 👍🏻, I was mega disappointed, I no what needs to be done now, some adjustments to make in training 💪 - congrats again on your new 5k PB 22mins and some change , it’s truely brilliant, I think the marathon helped you out massively. You’ve extended your endurance, endurance ultimately helps with speed as well- top effort mate 👊👊
Thank you mate, it made my weekend that, I’m still on the high of doing that, was NEVER an option a year ago yet here we are, so in a similar vein, you’ll get your sub 20 this summer I’m certain!
Cheers Oscar 👍🏻glad you liked it. Yeh I always use other people as pacers when I’m going for a time . It’s one of the reasons I love parkrun there is always somebody to hang with 💪👊👊👊 I can smell the sub20 🤣🤣
@@Chris.keeprunning 🤣🤣 there was a guy I can past he sounded like he was either dying or doing a gorilla impression 🫣 people do make some odd noises like 🤣🤣
Cheers mate , me and you are in the same boat at the minute with this 😂 I’ll get it soon- appreciate your kind words - I do keep an eye on my Strava for you getting yours done as well 👊👊
Nice work bud. My first 5k was less than three years ago. 29:03 at Penistone Parkrun My quickest now is 22:03 at Rother Valley. Id like to get a sub 20 one day. Im a way off it at the moment. But im moving in the right direction 😊
Thanks mate 💪👊 just shows you how far you have come - you will get it mate , it’s a long tough road sometimes but it’s not easy - not many people get the bragging rights of a sub20 - keep grinding it out mate you’ll get it 👊👊👊
Thanks so much mate 👍🏻 genuinely appreciate it. You no this feeling 😔aswell I remember your sub 24:30 attempt , you just gotta come back stronger 💪💪 we will both get it 👊
Well done, amazing time - I can only dream of getting close to 20. My parkruns lately are all 23.41, 23.38, 23.39, 23.33, 23.43 etc and I used to be able to do sub 23 mins often. Cant seem to figure out a good training scheme to get me back on form. :(
Thanks mate 👊 There still really good times . But I got mine down my doing longer runs and also doing fartlek runs - so like 1k easy effort then 1k at like sub20 minute pace then 1k easy then again 1k at sub20 mate pace then just repeat . There’s loads you can do - add me on Strava and have a look at some of my workouts 💪👊👊👊
My 5k PB is 22:01 I got it in my first ever 5k race last July,after doing a couple of park runs & few 10k races, so I thought id get a sub 22 easy enough but I've ran 4 5k race's since & my closet has been 22:10 , it's melting my head 🥴 my last 1 being 2 weeks ago 22:33 🙄 wish I'd never been as close to 22 now & it wouldn't have bothered me 😂 , sub 20 is a massive achievement 😉🏃 don't be so hard on yourself & it's a great goal to be chasing
@@davidthompson8953thank you mate 👊👊 I will get it , I’ve started training really hard specifically for the sub20 5k now all my energy is going into it as I just need to get it done. Also don’t worry your times will come , what you have to remember is most people can’t even do a sub30 , only 6% of all people run , only 0.01% of people can do a marathon 😮so let it be no surprise that it’s very difficult to do a sub 22 , if it was easy then everybody could do it. The fact you are sub 23 is great and I’d bet only 1 or 2% of people can do that - keep at it mate - lace up and empty the tank 👊👊👊
To be honest I've only really started taking running seriously in the last 6 months,well what I mean by that is doing different sessions like speed work 1k repeats & 400's repeats & long runs( 8 miles) & tempo runs , I've been running for 3 years but the first 2&1/2 I just went out & ran 3 , 4 or 5 miles as hard as I could with no structure or pace in mind but weirdly enough that's what seem to get me my 5k PB & with my new training I don't think I've improved over that distance 🥴🏃 tho hopefully time will tell, ive signed up for my first half marathon in September so hopefully the longer miles help me out in the 5ks 😉🫡 all the best with your running & ill look forward to seeing your sub 20 video soon 😉🏃
@@davidthompson8953Hi mate 👊 I can’t totally relate to this , I’ve been running 7 years but spent years on the treadmill, I only started running outside the start on 2021 and taking it seriously around the back end of 2022 and didn’t do my first race til 2023💪We all learn differently it sounds to me like you’ve gone the hard way like me but you will learn so much mate . Keep at it , all the different work outs will help you loads . Best of luck with your race 💪💪💪💪
Unlucky dude but there’s always another day. Looked a great parkrun to do though. Enjoyed the video mate, new subscriber here and fellow runner TH-camr 👍
Cheers mate , deffo another day, I’ll never stop 😂, just a bit deflated after this one as I’ve tried a few times , and yeh decent parkrun🫣🫣 I’ll get it I can smell it 😂. Keep running mate 🏃♂️💨💨💨
Cheers Stu , I’m sure you no what it’s like you’ve been in this game long enough . When you keep trying and trying and can’t get something. It then becomes deflating but I won’t give up - hope your well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Don't worry mate I'm your No1 fan😂😂.. cheers for mention mate my lad heard it he said dad is there another waddo😂😂no my lad😂😂...next lesson on what's a river/lake /pond😂😂...ace video mate...I've been thinking I've got another top tip for you on the sub 20 I'll send it over to you it's makes easy work of it👍
🤣🤣🤣 quality, kids think it’s just their nick name , mine are the same 🫣 cheers pal as well 🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘 yeh send it over mate - I no I’m nearly there but I’ll take anything I can get , you’ve been a 💎 helped me loads 💪👊👊
That back straight is a long ass slog tbh. I've never been a fan of Rother Valley but went week before and ran 19:38 without the intention of doing so, no pressure may be the key ? Also the terrain is not ideal for Vaporfly. I ran much better in Saucony Speed 2s. Felt like Bambi when I ran in Vaporfly at Rother Valley Relays 3 days later lol. I would suggest not doing full on Kms the day before your next attempt. Well done though, just need a few more interval sessions to get that speed up. I spent ages in the 20:30 range then did 2 sub 20s in 2 weeks at 2 different Parkruns (Concord and Hillsborough). It's definitely coming for you 🙂
Hi Vicky, yeh it’s mega long , I liked the park run , if I was going for a steady one would have been a nice 5k. The Vapors weren’t to bad but not ideal to get the most out of them your right. I did see you smash it on Strava other week mega impressive . Also totally agree smashing the full km’s out the day but before backfired , a few others have said the same 🤣🤦 I was trying to be a hero 🤣🤣. I’ll get it very soon , changing a few things in training and I’ll be back at the sub20 soon . Got a Marathon this weekend then back at it . Hillsborough is on the cards as well, heard good stuff about it . I think you mentioned it to me at Selby 🤔 Cheers for watching 👀 appreciate it 👊👊
Gutted for you Lee , still rapid and I hope you’re not too disheartened. Looked as though a few potholes and slightly uphill from the video . Have you tried Hartlepool parkrun for a PB ? It’s totally flat , smooth and plenty of space . Loved the video annd especially the commentary .
Cheers pal really appreciate it 👍🏻 I’ve heard it’s a great course a few people on my Strava are from around there but it’s abit for far away from me for a parkrun 😢. This is about as flat as your guna get in Yorkshire 🤣🤣🤣 I was mega gutted at the end as you could probably tell but that’s running and we go again , I’ve already adjusted my training to put in some speed endurance and I’ll get it soon 👊 thanks for watching mate 👊👊👊
The guy in the orange wearing Altra Vanish Carbons....clearly not a fast a shoe as the vaporflys lol as it's all about the shoes, the number 1 thing that will make you go faster :P haha until the wheels fell off.....good effort though, not everyday can be a PB day.
😂😂 very true , as you get better you seem to get less PB days but I’m sure it’s coming , I’ll still be training week in week out 💪 I can smell it it’s that close 😂😂 - cheers for watching 👊
Cheers pal 👊 I will do , it’s on the cards for the summer , I was hoping to have it boxed off by then 🫣 - you’ve been smashing it recently as well mate on your 5k’s keep it up it’s inspiring lad 👊👊
Too quick at the start, running the first 100m at a 3:40 pace for the first 200/300m will hurt in the 3/4k mark. Just need to relax a bit at the start and you'll get sub 20! :)
Cheers mate 👊 appreciate it 👍🏻, your 100% right set off wayyy to giddy , tried my best to slow it down , managed to settle in at about halfa km but damage was already done 🫣
See if you can get someone to evenly pace you, most of my pbs are like that. Get behind them and turn off your brain. Brilliant effort mate! Keep grinding! 💪🦵
Cheers mate 💪👊👍🏻 really appreciate it , I always try to do even spilts , all my PB’s are like that as well, apart from the last KM that’s when we empty the tank 🤣👊 it’s just this sub20 it’s haunting me , I will get it , I won’t stop. I’ve got a 10k race this weekend then after that I’m going to get some serious speed endurance work in . Probably could get somebody to pace me but it’s just something I wanna do by myself 😀🤘🤘 - thanks for watching mate 👊 lace up and empty the tank 🏃♂️💨💨💨💨

You can sprint the first 200 metres of a 5k without building any lactate. It's a good tactic.
Cheers mate👍🏻 , mate of mind told me that on Strava aswell , didn’t no that, interesting fact 👍🏻👍🏻👊👊
Brilliant vid again, great to bump into after the run. Keep up the good work chief.
