"Last 600m. You versus you." That's my favorite part of running. That step by step, minute by minute, hour by hour, mile by mile battle with yourself. It's the most meditative experience that I know of.
Fellow runner here. In my mind the most beautiful part of running is when someone with supreme conditioning and ability makes it look absolutely effortless.. But when I'm in the race, I'm disgusted by them - in my mind I can accept people being better runners than me, being able to go farther / quicker... what I struggle with is how easy they make it look! They should have at least some of my breathlessness and pain 😂😂
To a veteran (age 65) masters competitor like me, this is a thrilling and highly educational video. My 5K PR as a mid-20-something was 17:27, so I never got to experience the vibe up front, as it were. For that reason alone, you've gifted an Old Guy with a front-row seat, and I thank you for that. But I love your stream-of-consciousness narration, which resonates strongly, I'm sure, with many of us who love competition, at whatever speed, and are canny enough to keep our powder dry for the moment when we make our move. I was amazed, frankly, when you left your young competitor in the dust at the beginning of mile 3. His stride was fantastic, as you noted. Yours is serviceable. But here, too, you taught us something, which is that the "right" body, the "right" stride, isn't the only thing that counts. Training counts; heart counts; racing strategy counts. Please continue! This is inspiring.
@@tomascanevaro4292 Yup that't it. It really left like I was running behind a pro! We all have our different styles. We can work on them (to a point). It's all about owning it and unlocking as much as you can.
"Lighter isn't faster, stronger is faster" -I'm working on breaking sub 20, and I'm going to try and PR my 20:40 5k this weekend and this is words I needed. I'm ~93 kg but more than strong enough from my work outs to break 20:40 this weekend but I feel weird being a big runner and your words here were so much what I needed. Thank you.
This was a fun watch. Very well filmed too! Absolutely smashed it and the commentary was insightful. Also, Morgan is like a bloody gazelle. Super smooth.
@@justalilbester Very good presentation. It brings me back to when I was in HS and running... I think I used to do like sub seventeen and felt good about it. It is habit forming... I am sure you can look forward to being in very good shape all of your life....
I got emotional with this video and I'm training hard for 5 km and almost I can feel what you were feeling and It was touching! Massive congratulations for you and everybody around you that makes part of all of it🏆
Mindset and self talk... So important on race day. Thanks for sharing what's going through your head Nick. Especially the part about that middle 3km of the race. The demons get loud then!
It’s nice hearing a seasoned pro struggles with the mental battles after the 2km mark, it’s gruelling knowing you’re still closer to the start than you are the end!
This is the kind of videos that i have been looking for! No music, just a voice over a video of someone running. Raw. Really instructional and clear. Thanks mate!
I only knew you from insta so the yt algo did its wonders and your video was recommended to me. This is (to me) unique running content. Filming the whole run without edits, without music, just commentary. So much to learn from this by simply watching. Props also to the camerawoman Amy.
Your stride was so smooth and walking us through the entire race makes even more interesting. 14:55 as a seasonal opener ain’t bad at all! I see you doing 13:55 in six months
Morgan’s stride is wild, the way his feet fly back and tuck so close to his butt on the way forward compared to Nick’s which doesn’t go quite as high on the follow through. Still both great strides, my personal stride is more like Nick’s with the tighter stride.
Not sure which is which, but #4 seems to be overstriding and is far above 180 steps per minute, the idea cadence. I bet he'd shave off even more time if he got closer to this ideal cadence. Also, extremely impressive!
Stride goals right there! That’s what I was thinking when running behind Morgan. Whilst we all have our different strides. There’s definitely improvements I can make, which is great! Let’s go find those extra seconds! 👊🏻
Morgans stride is amazing, just flowing the way I wish I could. Great run, impressive performance, especially considering how hard fought the last couple of kilometers were. Congrats on the win. Great footage too.
I did my speed training right after watching this, and visualizing your stride, along with feeling the calmness and positivity in your narration helped me feel happy and go fast. Thank you!
My PB for 5k is like 28 minutes. And currently I am even struggeling with getting sub 30 minutes. So I just want to say thank you for showing me what a race looks like up at the front. Usually I am one of those guys getting lapped. :D
Yes, 6.30 - 7 minutes is my goal right now. Went for a run yesterday and achieved that pace, even though the weather was very hot and humid, and there's a steep climb invovled as well. I am happy with yesterday's training session. :D@@brendancadogan6235
I love that format : watching your race while hearing your own comments. It gives the video a kind of introspection of your feelings and it allows the viewer to corroborate your attitude with your comments.
Fantastic run. So smooth. Love the commentary. From a former elite sub 15min runner I know how tough and great it feels to go sub 15. Congrats and sure you'll hit your pb soon enough
Great video. I really appreciated you recounting all of your interior conversations with yourself. When things get tough in a race it sometimes feels like there are two voices speaking to you, one saying "this is too hard", the other saying "dont give up". In many ways its just as important I think to train your mind as it is your body. Thankyou for sharing these insights into the psychological aspects of running.
Wonderful run!!! Thank you for your insight 😍 and thank you for your humble words to those of us finishing significantly behind you… we appreciate it!! Gonna keep watching and try to get on the next level… just hit 21:58 in the 5k myself and looking forward to improving in the future👍👍
Sub 15 5k is insane! So quick! I liked you talking about punching aside the demons, imagine what these guys go through for 2hr marathons the same pace but over 8x longer
This is one of my favorite videos I've ever watched! Probably because I just raced a 5k yesterday :D I LOVED hearing your insights about the race. It never really occurred to me that the fastest racers are hurting too and they also have to not listen to the voices telling them to slow down. Way to push through. So fun hearing your insights.
Wow.. what a race! I am practicing my 5K and my time is around 22 minutes - you have amazing skill and character as well. Learning a lot from you. Thanks for the video!
Not enough props being given to Amy. She ran circles around this dude while running the same time as him, and she was running so smooth it looked like the camera was on a bike or something. Amazing job, Amy.
Your build (6'1" and 77 kilo/169 pounds) is very similar to Chris Solinsky (he is 6'1" and when he ran professionally he weighed 165 pounds), his 5K PB is a 12:55. It's so refreshing to hear you say that it's all about the training and that you have done all of this so far injury free. Keep up the great work!
Wow! How inspirational! The self talk, the resilience and the push through the barrier! Respect Nick! You just inspired me. Kudos to your camera girl too, top job!
Jesus. Always puts me in awe of people like yourself seeing how you can run at that pace and so consistent. Im aiming to run a sub 25 on my next run but finding running consistently under 5 mins such a big challenge, especially when i get caught up in the moment of the first 2kms.
Wow. What incredible sporting action. Wonderful idea to hear your reflections and analysis. Great stuff from Morgan to make it a race. Suburb performances.
You’re such an inspiration. I’m your exact weight and height and I am always concerned that my weight is holding back my potential, but I settle around 170 even if I’m training really hard. Now I know it’s possible for people with our build, thank you!
same here! Im around 160-165 and right in-between 6 foot 1 and 2. Havent been to concerned about it, but I was worried that it will limit my max potential. After seeing this tho, I have a long way to go for sub 15 lol
I'm glad I came across your video! I have just finished a 5k parkrun and after not running and training for 2 years your step by step narration really resonated with me. Haven't felt that level for adrenaline for a long time. Last 2 km Sufferfest 😂
Amazed by Morgans elegant stride but couldn't help but think about how much effort he was using to keep the stride so long and the cadence comparably low. A little fine tune and I think he could've pushed you even further! Herculean effort, Nick.
I procrastinated about running 5k all day and I decided not to. Then I watched this video, the on my kit and ran it; just not in sub 15 though. Thanks and keep the motivating content coming!
Ive never ran before and want to take part in a 5k run in 6 weeks time. Ive got a plan of what to do every week. Seeing this experience runner struggle, im like eekk how would I be? Ok i wont be fast, I just want to challenge myself, no matter what time I finish. But will be amazing if i can do it in 30mins. Took me an hour to do light jog with some walking for my first time ever. Hehe but how i even did that was constantly saying to myself i can do it, this is easy, you are a winner, you won, you are there, you already got this. I swear to God believe and positive words helped soooo much.
Brilliant running Nick!! Was so good to watch! When you took Morgan i actually said " Go on Nick!!" Love this video! Great filming too! Always an inspiration champ! 💯 🔵 ⚪️ 🙌🏼
Running is such a great sport. Runners of all levels get to compete together. No other sport lets you do that. Well done everyone. Great video thank you.
Got recommended your video and loved the commentary! Good intervals for comments, not overwhelming or dry. I'm your same size and weight, but take twice the time for a 5k! 6:40 is good inspiration to keep pushing
Had my first fun on this weekend past, your comment on how even little support from the side can encourage you I found so damn true. They had a bagpipe section at the end which gave me so much energy i felt like William Wallace.
Love the footage really showing both lead runners from great angles. I E got to say Nick, comparing strides, Morgan’s does look nicer (it is pro like) and almost surprising he didn’t win. Top running Nick to take the win. Love the commentary too, really helps us other runners to hear your state of mind to compare to our own in the same scenario
This popped up on the front page, and glad it did. Was fun listening to your commentary of your run. Morgan unknowingly had some great race tape recorded he can use to review his own performance. Great vid, camera work by Amy was awesome!
Oh man! I did a Battersea 5km recently (we saw you actually! running the opposite direction), missed out on my target (sub 18'30"), and those thoughts totally recognisable and for sure held me back. I need to go back and use these tips for sure. The suffering! So true.
Loved this video, one of the most honest and informative look into elite running I've seen on TH-cam. Currently between projects and this really inspired me to set a new target. So funny how the mental games are identical no matter the ability, I've thought all those exact things mid-race before!
Your stride is so smooth and Morgan’s is faster and larger but maybe harder on the body. You are pretty strong looking compared to most runners. I can barely do 30 minute 5k
I think that it is amazing that Amy can run the same pace while running backwards and holding the camera so steady
Bwahaha recovery zone 2 run for her! 🤣🙌🏻
Amy can probably run the first sub 12min 5k
@@THUNDERCAT37c What are you talking about she can do sub 10 min on the 5k
Great running and nice presentation in this video 👍👍👍
She had a head start. Meaning she probably only did 4.9km backwards while holding the camera steady. Hardly anything to write home about.
It's mad to me that top marathon runners run this pace for 2 hours.
Wr run 14'20" 8 times in a row
It's amazing
Absolute legends.
That kid has an absolutely beautiful stride. Just looks effortless.
Running at 77 Kgs at that speed is definitely hard. Great job!
He’s stride is very ‘elite’ I must say! Thanks 👊🏻 I’ve always lived by the theory, fuel hard, train hard!

This popped up on the front page, and glad it did. Was fun listening to your commentary of your run. Morgan unknowingly had some great race tape recorded he can use to review his own performance. Great vid, camera work by Amy was awesome!
Amazing run! Inspiring for my sub 20 5k goals.
Go get it!! Legooo 🙌🏻
Oh man! I did a Battersea 5km recently (we saw you actually! running the opposite direction), missed out on my target (sub 18'30"), and those thoughts totally recognisable and for sure held me back. I need to go back and use these tips for sure. The suffering! So true.
Loved this video, one of the most honest and informative look into elite running I've seen on TH-cam. Currently between projects and this really inspired me to set a new target. So funny how the mental games are identical no matter the ability, I've thought all those exact things mid-race before!
Excellent video, watched it start to finish, great commentary as well. Super inspiring!
Incredible mental strength
Thanks Luke, definitely my greatest asset!
Your stride is so smooth and Morgan’s is faster and larger but maybe harder on the body. You are pretty strong looking compared to most runners. I can barely do 30 minute 5k
That was great to watch. It looks like you got a lot to win with your heels and your forward lean.. Bit of achilles magic and you do your 14m30 magic.
This race shows that you are a wise runner Nick. Congratulate. Inga DK.
legend , you're inspiring lots of people as well
amazing pace, what a thing of beauty that run is
Nick you’re an absolute beast
Fantastic Achievement Nick!
