Onwards and Upwards,
Nick
going for sub 16 before 16! what a legend!
Speedy boy!! I’m backing him! 🔥
You're a beast Nick! What a couple of days training?! You've thrown everything into this block, you absolutely deserve that sub 2.20!
Sharing up phase 💎 thanks, I’ve worked hard 👊🏻 now let’s hope it comes together next weekend
'Training!' Worst joke I've seen on YT in ages, well done!
Eyes on the main prize 🇩🇪 but you’ve got to enjoy it too. Otherwise what’s the point 🙌🏻
Parkrun is not a race. Said no one at the front ever! 😀 Great videoing, commentary and running. 👏
🤣🤣 best line ever!
Even when am 50th am racing until the very end. Those pesky pram runners are not beating me again 😂
@@AndreReesAt my local parkrun there's a lady pushing a buggy that finishes in about 19min! The kid in the buggy ain't small either!
@@AnthonyBate in cardiff the same…. And he pushes 2 kids in a double buggy 🤣 he beats me every time 😅🤣
I was there that morning, funny spotting you at my local parkrun Nick!
(I did shout over and say hi at the finish as I was leaving).
I'm 44, got into running just over a year ago. 26mins was my first effort at Poole, then managed my goal of sub 20 earlier this year with 19.34.
Your channel has definitely helped along the way, Thanks!
Great to hear and congrats on the sub 20! You have a great parkrun by the way 👊🏻
Just love this raw and pure content the loud breathing makes it just so real
Keep it up nick 🎉
Well done! I love watching these videos, and the camera angle was way better this time.
It’s like running, you learn from each race 😉
So tense!! Wow!! Well done Nick and Quinn - hectic! Can’t wait for your Berlin Marathon soon!🇿🇦 🇿🇼
Nice work, Poole ParkRun is always a great buzz with the mad dash across on the grass between the marshall funnel to start.
Nice interviews too, Nigel is a bit of a local legend, he used to run the best nutrition and supplement shop in the area, always giving sound and sincere advice.
Holllyyyyy f******* flying man. Great achievement, so impressive. Thank you very much mate for the inspiration.

Well said nick, bring back d records, everybody used to look them up no matter how fast or slow u are
what a nice course, well done nick
How beautiful!! And what a great morning for it too! 😍
'TRAINING' very hard. Genius!!!!
Nice to get some interviews. You run well. 🎉
LOVE to see this at parkrun Nick. Whatever HQ say, its roots in time trial will never end.
You’re so good at keeping cool! Some of those pedestrians would’ve got me seeing red 🤣🤣
🤣 those headphones were a killer!!
Nice to see you're very competitive even at a parkrun, I'm the same 😂
We all competitive 🙌🏻 it’s healthy to be competitive :)
Nice work Nick! Love the narration along the way and it really inspires me when I am racing -- I think, what would Nick be saying right about now? That course didn't look particularly fast with all the hairpin turns and having to navigate around other people in the park. Also, I didn't see as many marshals as there'd normally be. Solid run though and good luck in Berlin -- I'd be sending you good vibes from the other side of the Atlantic.
Thanks so much! Remember what you put in during those moments right there, you thank yourself for afterwards!
Top Work Nick, got to love parkrun
Can’t go wrong with a parkrun! Looking forward to doing many more of these!
lovely course
I do the counting thing as well :). Dear parkrun... bring back the records!
Glad I’m not the only one :)
Best(er) of luck in Berlin. An inspiration to all runners.
Well done Nick
Not that I would ever be at the front but that is a confusing course if you aren't following someone!
I won’t lie, as a first timer to this course, I was grateful to have someone in front of me!
Fun fact: it used to be simpler incorporating 2 laps of the lake, but it was too narrow/dangerous when people were getting lapped.
@@JamesOYC I did think that bit looked like it would get hectic
Amazing course.
I love this nick mate well done on doing it :)
if i target someone i want to beat in a 5k my mind devolves into: CHASE breath CHASE breath CHASE breath CHASE!!
Always pushed you more when you have someone to chase. 👊🏻
That breathing 😮
I was actually there
You passed me 3 times 😂😂😂
Hey, we all run 5k in the end 🤣🙌🏻 hope you had a magical post parkrun brekkie
i was thinking "why tf is he going at sub 3 mile pace" before realizing my americanness
🤣🤣 miles vs kms. A coaches nightmare. I wish we all worked off one
Well done!
AirPods also have transparency mode if you don’t want bone conduction headphones
Quinn is not in his early 20s and he took 3 months off running due to injury before this, he has a youtube channel as well!
Thanks for sharing. He’s a beast and a talented runner!
Great run... I wish i could run 18 minutes
When are you going to try some trail running races? Your dad jokes game is already on point.
🤣 once I’ve peaked on the roads. A few more years ;)
I would love to live in the UK. Running community seems so much bigger than here in Canada. Also, you have plenty of Parkruns to attend. Here they are non-existent 😅
People pay big money to explore Canada.
You’ll have to come visit us and join for one of these. They’re great
Nick, well done!! Greetings from South Carolina, USA. I love these type of videos you put out of the races with the commentary! I find it helpful for me and I also show my son who runs cross country. Hes learning we all go through the same ups and downs in a race! I'm curious about your breathing during the race. This may sound dumb, but for me I can only breathe like the way it sounds you are when I go full send the last mile. Do you purposely do that the entire 5k to aid in getting enough oxygen as opposed to being more relaxed? Your heart rate is showing you arent red lining so Im guessing your body isnt making it that hard to breathe. Do you have any tips for breathing strategy? I hope this makes sense......I feel kinda weird asking. Just something I have noticed watching your 5K races. Thanks, again for videos like this as they help and are motivating! Good luck at your marathon!
Never feel weird asking :) to be honest when I watch the video back. It sounds like I’m breathing so heavy, but I’m actually comfortably working. I think it’s just because the camera is close to my mouth, so it sounds worse. Apparently nose breathing is the best. I’ve tried and can’t do it when I ran faster
Outstanding
Quinn is a stud
That sounded like a lot of hard work
It’s always a lot of work. There’s just no shortcuts in this sport 👊🏻 but that’s what makes us feel good afterwards
Bet that thin path by the lake is a bit scary if you're in a pack!
Have you ever done Widnes Parkrun? If not, it’s definitely worth a visit. It’s extremely quick, top 10 fastest in the whole of the UK
Na I haven’t. Thats for the recommendation. I’ll put it on the list 👌🏻
@@justalilbester I got my PB there (17:30). It’s 3 and a bit laps around a park. No tight turns, no incline to speak of and all on tarmac. You run around a lake where it is slightly narrow but the first two laps it’ll be a non issue, lap 3 you might need to weave around others, though the 2 occasions I’ve done it I didn’t need to, as the lapped runners kindly stayed out of the way
Always first finisher, not first place 😉
Great run Nick ..may I ask what shades you were wearing?
Well done, i like your content bro!! I've got a 5K coming up on Wednesday where I'll be trying to get into the low 18 minute zone as a 29 year old... How long do you think it would take to fet into that 16minute zone? Is 2/3 years reasonable with consistent training? 🤔
Only 1 way to find out. Give it all you’ve got 💪🏻 under 2 years ;)
Love the videos. What heart rate monitor do you use Nick?
Cheers mate. A Garmin HR Pro + monitor
What about blowing your nose? I'm having issues with that, shows me down a bit... Any tips?
My nose was pretty blocked, so it would have been a bad idea this race. I did try the other day but it’s not natural for me when I run hard.
What breathing you use mouth or nose please reply sir 🤩
I am looking for some advice. I just recently got a garmin, and on my last Parkrun it said my heart rate got to 207 bpm. I am a healthy 18 year old male. Should I be worried? (Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar)
You need to run with an external HR monitor strap. I have the Garmin HR Pro + monitor and it works well. But no, at your age you should be able to get it over 200 💪🏻 keep working hard!
@@SpoilerSpots No, my max hr is like 220
Hey Nick, question for you regarding breathing. In this video we can hear your breathing pattern clearly. Seemed like in the 1st K you were breathing out for 2 steps and breathing in for 2 steps, then you started breathing out for 1 step and breathing in for 2 steps. Do you pay attention to your breathing patterns at all when you run? In my case when I run at easy to moderate pace it's usually 3 steps in and 3 steps out, when I do a hard efforts its 2 in, 2 out, I don't recall ever doing 1 out 2 in. Just wondering if I am limiting myself by not breathing often enough. Cheers.
Thanks for analysing in this level of detail. I think as long as your HR is where you want it to be then you know you’re putting in the correct effort. I try keep it controlled work first half, before opening up. And then let the breathing take care is itself
Good question !!! I've never thought about that either!!! I also do it like Nick, 1 out 2 in... out of instinct
How long does your insta 360 go3s last during your runs? I am a 40 minute 10km runner and wondering if it would record the whole thing? Great video again
It lasts about 30 minutes. But it’s very easy to start/stop 🙌🏻
@@justalilbester thank you, seems I need to improve my pb to ensure it last the whole race 😅
a 14:48 5k less than 24 hours beforehand... followed by a pre-parkrun tempo... and still busting out a sub maximal 15:16 run... wow....
Feeling strong 💪🏻 all in prep for Berlin 🤞🏻🇩🇪 loving the process regardless of the result
when do you do your long run? sunday isn't an option then right?
Just got home from my 26:xx parkrun and feel like a piece of shit now
Na don’t. That’s amazing still. It’s all about being the best you 👊🏻
Proper GTA 😁
But healthier for you 😉
Parkrun records are no longer in park runs because the gender issue posed some spicy challenges I believe
Wtf?
@devidia well, individuals born as men, but who claimed to be women (woke) were claiming parkrun course records. In some instances, situations became threatening to parkrun volunteers, so they just removed official records. At least that was the word at the time.
Yo Nick, watch Fredrik Zillen's running technique videos. I think your elbow angle is too big.
Thanks and yeah it always has been. Definitely a work in progress 🏃♂️
환상적인 코스입니다. 최대심박수가 얼마나 되는지요?
I got my HR to 188 earlier this is year
@@justalilbester thanks.
Haha good pun
Let's go
Didn’t expect that 👀
Enjoyed it though!
What camera you are using? Does it has a built in speedometer?
I use the Insta 360 GO3 S, then connect my ‘Garmin Connect’ to it for the stats
@@justalilbester thanks a lot
What camera do you use? And how did you fastened it?
Insta 360 GO3 S, it attaches to my cap
This camera recording makes it look like the first place is jogging 6:30
Always looks easier when you watch it back. It wasn’t 😵💫🙌🏻
@@justalilbester Sure, I joined Strava this year and bumped on your profile, you've been an inspiration since then. Currently still fighting for a sub 20' in 5k, with consistency I believe I will. #Boom_shakhalaka!
you're starting your counts on 1 instead of 0
I suppose as long as I’m consistently doing it the same, that’s what matters 🤣🙌🏻
He could start them on 17 and it wouldn't make a difference.
is that a GoPro he is using to record the run
It’s an Insta 360 GO3S camera
boom!!!!!!
Shakalaka!!
For a 5k race is it normal to use zone 4-5 majority of the race?
Only for a pro. A beginner cannot even sustain zone 4 or 5 for that long.
depends on your level. if you're a beginner, not recommended i think.. i've been running for more than a year now and shorter runs like 3k/5k races i can sustain zone 4 or 5 majority of the race. but do not do this always. only on races or sometimes on trainings (shorter)
@@awakenedfreespirit4710 Just because you can't get into those zones doesn't mean others can't. It's very normal to be in zone 4-5 in most of a 5K race.
@@Nyelands I can but most beginners can't. Most beginners can't even sustain a 400m interval training of 10 repetitions.
@@awakenedfreespirit4710 Your answer was that only pros can.
His gait is terrible but lord he's fast
If it was cross county, he would have disappeared out the camera much earlier 🚀
He was injured and off running for 3 months which probably didn't help with his form
You need to work on your breathing, its chaotic.
Always sounds worse when the camera mic is 4cm from your mouth.
