@runningchannel that's soooo clear in every video where there is more than one of you! Missed Mo in this one though, he brings the teacher vibes....👓📙📝📊🧑🏾🏫
My thoughts: * 200m intervals is probably optimal for how long you can comfortably hold maximum speed * if you're on a slight hill, get someone to drive you back up * start sprinting before you start timing * taking long breaks seems useful. Either 4-5 intervals with an hour break, or splitting overnight
Initially I thought what a fun challenge, maybe I'll try it myself. Then came the realization of just exactly how long it takes to cheat a 5k, and I thought maybe not! Even so I would love to see a Strava group set up just to see how fast someone can cheat the distance.
Play the violins louder!! 😂😂 If Jess had to eat an interval that didn't count, it only seems fair that Tom has to eat the walk time. 🤷♀️ Great challenge, great efforts by everyone! I had to chuckle at the ambulance parked by Sara.
Surely the 15 whatever minutes for Tom's running time isn't 5k though? It would be that time and then however long it would take him to run that two minutes of walking that would count to the total right?
Totally agree - 5k - 2min walk distance does not equal a 5k run. So whatever distance he walked in that 2 mins, he needs to go out and run to finish it off!
This is actually harder than it sounds. It’s basically a 5K worth of intervals at top speed. These drain you much faster than a long run at a moderate pace.
..or on the excuse, Cam, he could have forgotten to turn the timer off when driving home....lol.... I have done that before.. you can actually look at your exact walk run times and edit down the time on garmin connect if you make a mistake like that...
This is a cool challenge. I think it would be good to do this in a different way also where you each have to do the same distances like say you all have to do 5 x 100m, 5 x 200m, 1 x 1000m… etc to make up 5km but you can do the distances in which ever order you prefer.
100m sprints on a gentle decline with 2-3 minute recovery or until your heart rate dips enough. Take a 30 minute rest between each 10 reps. Keep the legs loose by just walking around for those 30 minutes. Hydrate and fuel just to be safe. Depending on the high and low temps of the day, pick a start time based on that.
I think I would do it in 200 meter segments where you can be quite quick but have a tolerable number of reps, 25. I don't know the best rest interval, because I think waiting too long would result in sore legs. Maybe half in the evening and half in the morning would be doable.
Fun video. On a much more serious note, there is currently a TH-cam video out looking at suspicious results returned by one of this channel's presenters. Is there any intention to address this?
Not a fan of cheating your watch (or at all), but since this is in GOOD FUN, to answer Sarah's question: My tactic would be to run 100m intervals on a CRUISE SHIP! The GPS really messes up the pace measurement depending on the direction you're facing. You get like 1min/km at sea, plus you dont have to spend all day on the challenge! That said, whoever came up with this challenge found a great way to motivate folks to run INTERVALS!
The GPS messes up pace measurement depending on the direction you're facing? So if I were to run opposite the Earth's rotation could I get a marginally faster time?
@@moosemafia direction of the boat, not direction of the satellite. Sorry for the confusion. Basically, observe your pace while in a moving vehicle like a bus or train, it will be inaccurate. I use cruise ship instead of car or train because cruise ships have jogging tracks around part of the circumfrence of the boat, so you get strides per minute, some variation in your stride as the boat rocks, and an elevated heart rate. Also I think some runners, such as "it's Matt b" have already noticed this drawback while diligently training on vacation. I am going to try to explain what I mean by marginally faster or slower. The speed of a boat is comparable to a car on a road, let's say 60 km/h (ie 1min/km). I run roughly 10 km/h. So if I run from the aft (back) to forward (front), I'm reading as 70 km/h (1min/km). Finally, I believe GPS satellites are geostationary, meaning they maintain orbit at the same position above the earth even as it rotates, so I don't think readings vary based on whether you are facing west or east. That said, you could find out for sure! All this long-winded ramble is to say if you're on a moving vehicle, like a cruise ship with a jogging track, your GPS watch doesn't know you're in or on a vehicle. Your watch is going to think you're flying along open ocean like Peter the Apostle walking on water, but also faster and longer than Florence Griffith Joyner! I hope that clarifies this cheat a bit!
Since I have the opportunity to cheat to my heart's content, I'll strap the smartwatch onto a dog and let him chase a frisbee. I'll be finished in just 10 minutes! Woof, there it is!
I feel the way to do this would be to use a track and 400 meters then rest for 5 minutes. Or enlist a friend to drive you back to the top of the hill so you can be more rested.
Am I the only one who's surprised that someone didn't use a pair of Heelys? They said you could cheat. Get running from the top of the hill and just roll until you slow down.
I am guessing you've been requested this before, but in future videos can you put in miles in the notes as well on the screen for us Americans? We still measure our 5Ks in miles here.
I’m a really good 100-200m sprinter, I can run forever at ~4.6 mph. There really is no in between. 😂 I’d take forever at 100m at a time! 😂 It would be my only hope!
I'm here for the kudos they give each other, "so tactical, so sporty, so fast" ......❤🥰
We love each other really ❤️

”Excuse cam” brilliant!
That's where I've been going wrong, not enough hooning!
Sarah's 50x100m session is a very useful one. Well deserved victory!
I'm curious what her DOMs were like the next day! Also curious how it hit her Garmin stats
SPOILER ALERT!!
Jess - what a hero running 1km intervals! That women can really shift - absolutely amazing! 👏🏻
My thoughts:
* 200m intervals is probably optimal for how long you can comfortably hold maximum speed
* if you're on a slight hill, get someone to drive you back up
* start sprinting before you start timing
* taking long breaks seems useful. Either 4-5 intervals with an hour break, or splitting overnight
I'd get on a train and record some 5k of walking at insane speed
The editing 😂 bravo
Hahaha thank you!
This is genius! What a way to make running even more interesting!
We agree!!
Love how this was filmed at distance but still feels like you guys were having fun together.
positive vibes for tom always
The Top Gear of running
I laughed all the way through. Great presenting and even better editing. Great job guys. The BAFTAS for editing and comedy are coming!

Great video, was this idea based off Kate Carter cheating in her Marathon runs

It all depends what he recorded on his watch

@@runningchannel that's why I'm asking!!
I heard Kate Carter won...
Hahaha she is rly good at cheating ye ;D
really enjoy the Challenges - this is good fun 🙌
This channel is AMAZING! When I watch these in the middle of the night it makes me want to put on my shoes and run across the city.
So glad you enjoy our content and it motivates you to run 🥹
My watch occasionally throws a GPS 'wobbly' and gives me a pace that's about twice what it should be. Now if I could control that...
Mine too, but sometimes it goes the other way! 😒
What watch is that?
@@Muhluri Garmin Forerunner 255.
Every time one of you guys reveals you're in Richmond Park I point at my screen like the Leonardo DiCaprio meme 🦌
This is actually harder than it sounds. It’s basically a 5K worth of intervals at top speed. These drain you much faster than a long run at a moderate pace.
😂😂😂 this was absolutely hilarious, especially when Jess gave that hypothetical and then shortly after fell victim to that same hypothetical 😭😭
This sounds fun. I'll give this a go soon on a day when its not blowing a gale and pouring with rain like it is today.
James won the Best Scenery award. 🏆👍
Being based in London you all missed a trick here. Run fast downhill then bus, tram or train back!
start 10am...5x 0.5km downhill 2% -3% gradient...next morning 8am 5 x 0.5km simples...entertaining vid
Add on some pre workout and you’ll be zooming
That was so fun to watch 😊
Way to go Sarah!!
''me legs are a bit achy'' lol
Haha that was brilliant well done all, I’ll have to try this sometime in the near future haha 😝
James' idea reminds me of the St Neots half marathon - the last 5km is entirely downhill. I don't believe there's a level foot on in anywhere!
Love these challenges so much!!!!
This was so much fun to watch! I may have to give this a try.
I'd have looked for a location where the GPS kept bouncing around...
Haha on who?
..or on the excuse, Cam, he could have forgotten to turn the timer off when driving home....lol.... I have done that before.. you can actually look at your exact walk run times and edit down the time on garmin connect if you make a mistake like that...
Tom deserves extra credit for filming the most to camera whilst running- ‘winner’ Sarah didn’t run / film at all!
This is a cool challenge. I think it would be good to do this in a different way also where you each have to do the same distances like say you all have to do 5 x 100m, 5 x 200m, 1 x 1000m… etc to make up 5km but you can do the distances in which ever order you prefer.
Tom, you crack me up.😂😂😂 So much fun!
Meanwhile Andy just pops in and runs a 5k all in one go to win (I’m halfway through so if this actually happens I’ll be lol)
Jess is such a super star 😂 love these challenges ❤
Such a good video idea. Really well edited too lol
That was quite enjoyable to watch
Why didn't anyone think to just put a treadmill in the bed of a truck?
I would probably go with 200m reps. I feel like you'd waste energy/time in the acceleration for each rep if you go with 100m.
this is awesome, what a great idea
100m sprints on a gentle decline with 2-3 minute recovery or until your heart rate dips enough. Take a 30 minute rest between each 10 reps. Keep the legs loose by just walking around for those 30 minutes. Hydrate and fuel just to be safe. Depending on the high and low temps of the day, pick a start time based on that.
Great video guys 👍🏻
Thanks guys.
Need the inspiration. 👍
This looks fun 😂 I’d definitely do plenty of napping between runs.
(Does Tom remind anyone else of The Actor Kevin Eldon?)

I mean, she hasn't presented here in a long time, so I don't think they have to address any of this
Just read about Carter cheating. Lost a bit of the running channel ngl. Does she still work there? i hope not
Well done Sarah lots of button pushing
Funny challenge! Really like it! 👍
Positive vibes for Team Tom
Great challenge. My fastest speed (as recorded by my GPS watch) was about 850 km/h - on the way to Fuerteventura 😀

Yess Sarah! Never in doubt 💪
Very entertaining 😂
If you gonna cheat … easy just take the bus! 😂😂😂
TEAM TOM!!!!!
I always wanted to try this!
Interested to see a video on the Norwegian 4x4 workout please.
Since I have the opportunity to cheat to my heart's content, I'll strap the smartwatch onto a dog and let him chase a frisbee. I'll be finished in just 10 minutes! Woof, there it is!
haha bonkers! Love this kind of content
Team Sarah 🥳 But ... very well done Tom!!! 👍👍👍
Go Team Tom! 🎉
The commitment
As I recall Barkley tried to portray that it was one effort 😂
👍 team Tom.
I would be able to most likely break the world record due to me running 50x100m in 15 seconds each
I am absolutely going to try this 😃👌🏻
My idea would be to pop a threadmill on a speeding truck on the Autobahn and do an easy run on it with GPS on
3:46 brilliant!! Hahaha
Van, jog on the spot, motorway, 120km/hr....
Easy 2 and a half minute 5k 👍🤔🧐🙂😎
I feel the way to do this would be to use a track and 400 meters then rest for 5 minutes. Or enlist a friend to drive you back to the top of the hill so you can be more rested.
Why doesn't Andy ever participate in these silly events? I'll bet he can "hoon" down a hill pretty fast.
I can run 18 second 100m splits. So I MIGHT achieve a 15min 5k. Sprints has to be the best strategy if you can pause as long as you like
I cheer for Sarah in all of these challenges.... mostly because I have the biggest crush on her! ❤❤
Best cheat ever: i ran laps on the top of a moving cruise ship! 13 minute 5k, no trouble!
Am I the only one who's surprised that someone didn't use a pair of Heelys? They said you could cheat. Get running from the top of the hill and just roll until you slow down.
I once cheated my way to a 5k in only 6 minutes. The trick is to bounce up and down and pump your arm quickly while you drive.
Brilliant!
I would never run. I would take a car. - Dr. Seuss
WUP WUP, TEAM SARAH 🤩🤩🤩🤩
That was so smart 😅
👍👍👍 (technology is hard)
I am guessing you've been requested this before, but in future videos can you put in miles in the notes as well on the screen for us Americans? We still measure our 5Ks in miles here.
Team Tom! 👍
Nice idea!
How do you NOT think of doing it over 2 days. What even is the point of 24 hours if you don't
I’m a really good 100-200m sprinter, I can run forever at ~4.6 mph. There really is no in between. 😂 I’d take forever at 100m at a time! 😂 It would be my only hope!
The excuse cam hahahahahaha so funny
So fun!
If you could do a 12 sec 100m x 50, you could get a cheat 10 Minute 5k. That wound be an interesting challenge for an elite athlete.
I would do 10*500m downhill with electric scooter back up the hill. Or maybe 400m reps
I did a 10k in 22mins 52seconds. However I was running around a ship's funnel as it was leaving dock!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
catch a train, and run from the back carriage to the front... ;) x
I honestly thought this was a Kate Carter cameo video 💔
