I hope this goes viral enough for Zuckerberg to get competitive about this and record his own time live. "I've been beaten by a Mark before, but it won't happen again. Meta remembers...' 😂
Absolutely! I love that he's down to Earth and not ashamed to admit defeat. Well, unless he's about to get beaten by a billionaire, but that's something I can understand.
...and it makes great sense. It IS too late to start at the hospital.... "staying alive" and "being healthy" are two different things. Good fun as always. I did not take on any billionaires recently 😂😂👍
@@logohigh1 Agreed. There will be no health as long as processed food/sugary drink and glorified vending machines populate every corner of the landscape.
Zuckerberg could also complete the Murph challenge in 39:58 which include wearing a 9kg vest and doing: one mile run 100 pull ups 200 push ups 300 squats one mile run. He is pretty fit in all aspects and I am gonna try to beat his time in this challenge. Running two one miles with 9kg is going to be the biggest obstacle for me.
"Even if you maintain 6:18 per mile over an entire marathon, you'll finish 45 minutes behind Kipchoge". I never really grasped just how incredible Kipchoge is until now.
New to the channel and loving the content! Some great advice with added humour! I’m 8 months into my running journey and 54. Goals of sub 25 min 5k and 60min 10k and maybe a half marathon next year!🤘🏼
Good luck Steve. My journey is similar, having started last year at 47 and not having ran since cross-country at High School - you'll get there. Parkruns are excellent and I've got a half marathon lined up for October - aim is 1 hour 35 mins - we'll see if that's realistic or not! 😬🤞
Steve, if you keep consistent, recover well between your runs, you will achieve your targets and more! Maybe sign up for a half marathon in the distant future so you commit, and have fun on the way there 😀 hope your training goes smooth!
That comparing yourself line got to me. I just ran my first race and it was a 10k and i came in deadlast 1:11:50 😅 but it was still my personal best😊 Thanks for the good content
Great video Mark. I can testify to how tough a sub-20 5k is, as it's a hurdle I'm still trying to overcome. Having gone from a 47 year old, 5 foot 7 inch, 14 .5 stone blob in August last year to 11 stone and 20 mins 30 secs at a parkrun now, I can safely say that need to average over 15kph for 5km ain't easy. Keep up the excellent content and I hope to pass Zuckerberg before age kicks in!
The message of only comparing yourself to yourself is huge. After only back running 2 months now from a year off of very poor mental and physical health I got my 5k back under 25:00 today (all time PB of 22:30), not a huge milestone to some but it took a long time and a lot of work to get there the first time and im very happy to be on the right track again looking forward to each run. I know im capable of a lot more and im going to prove it to myself.
I’ve just finished reading Born to Run based on your suggestion. Thank you for talking about it in your videos! Really has changed my mindset on running and was an incredibly inspiring read. Onto training for my first half marathon in November. Goal is to run an ultra next year. Cheers!
@@MarkLewisfitness What's happening in that clip exactly? I assume you're arriving at the finish line exhausted from a run and not actually speed walking or did I miss something?
I guess I have started a similar fitness journey to yours. I am 33 and started running again 8 weeks ago. I have run off and on over the years, but nothing this consistent. I started about 171kg and am now at 165kg. I am training for a half marathon on November 18th and just finished my 6 mile long run this morning. I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and have really enjoyed the motivation and your story. Keep up the good work!
having found your channel a few months ago, as a recent graduate and someone who used to love being active and playing sport as a teen. i love watching your videos and it has given me the motivation to get out go for hikes and get into running (running, something ive never been into or liked the sound of)! however, as a 24 year old overweight (not obese) male, i am loving being active and just doing! love the no bullshit attitude and dry sense of humour within your content! i guess i just wanted to tell you about the inspiration youve had on me and say thank you! good quailty, real content that isnt some PT! keep smashing it and being above average!!!
When I was in middle school, my brother and I would do laps around our house. While I was winded after half a dozen laps, he had proven he could continue doing half a dozen more. I was 12. He was nearly 2 years younger than I. One of us became an NCAA D1 athlete, the other is still trying to catch his breath 🫠
@@diogopereira4639 I got both my dad's shorter height and his bad knees. Didn't make me much of a fan of hitting the track but I could have probably been a decent sprinter. I would have probably needed surgery to compete long term but, being a part of a poor family in the U.S. at the time, it wasn't gonna happen. Just played soccer. I do have a knack for jogging everywhere I go, in supermarkets, errands, on the job, or otherwise; can't stand walking most of the time 😂
Yet again, the Kipchoge comparison leaves jaws on the floor… really nice video Mark. Always, always, always… the person you want to compare yourself to is… yourself! 😊
I fall into the "good build for running" group but am currently averaging 5:45/km. Not racing others, just racing myself. Immensely impressed by Zuckerberg's pace and any other person making their legs do that pace at my height. Seeing 30-something women at 5'3" run regular 4:40s blows my mind. I've found that doing a lot of zone 2 and now pushing my arse up mountains when trail running has helped my flat run pace by 15 sec/km. Next step: sleep more. DO HARD THINGS!
My best friend got me into running. She's 44 and 4'11" (only weighs 40kg though). She runs 5ks sub 19 minutes, half marathons in 1h25 and has also run a number of ultra trails and mostly finished on the podium in those. Amazing lady.
I am sorry but if you are still averaging 5:45/km for a 5k or even up to a marathon after months/years of training you definitely dont have a good build/genetics for running
For sure maintaining a consistent pace at your threshold is the best route to running your best times. Figuring out what your threshold pace is for a given distance and practicing running that pace is a critical piece to improving. The longer the race, the more important pacing becomes. Mark was not super consistent with his pacing in attempt #2, but because the event is only 5k you can get away with some variance. If he would have been able to run right on 3:48 /km for all 5 it would give him his best chance at breaking the 19 minute barrier...practicing and getting the feel of how fast your feet turnover, and your breathing at that pace helps you to execute the pace out on the course. There are some watches now that have a pacer feature that shows you visually if you are ahead of, or behind a virtual pacer...the good part of that is that it is GPS based and you get real time data every step, not just at the km or mile markers.
@@chrisgilligan4968 watches are great for pacing. Keeping up with another human is even better. A lot of people at parkrun run very consistently week after week. Get to know the people who are a little faster than you at your local parkrun and chase them down. Exactly as Mark just demonstrated!
Came across your videos last week and they motivated me to get off the couch and start moving again. Currently in old Mark Lewis shape with the goal of becoming above average one day. Keep up the great content Mark. Also, Nixon's best 5k time when? He would own Zuck for sure!
Added it in as Barnes Fitness mentioned how they were struggling to put the events on with numbers, still being down post covid - does my head in that there isn't government funding for people like them running a business that adds so much to the community (not to mention long-term health of the nation)
Interesting post, really appreciated the commentary in the last couple of minutes regarding taking more agency over our collective health and the dig about corporate tax evasion.
Entertaining video! Think you hit the nail on the head when mentioning his size and weight. From my experience, if you've done a reasonable amount of running in the past, providing you keep yourself active and don't gain the weight you can still run reasonably well off doing less training (although it becomes more difficult with age). When you're a bigger guy it's much harder to get and stay running fit. After 12 years off myself, the weight is the main thing holding me back from running close to the times I once did
Really appreciate the "compare yourself to yourself" message. This would help so many people so much, but it is not stressed enough in society, in my opinion.
Amazing video mate, focus on yourself and don’t compete with others! Bit gutted with a knee injury and was oh so close to a sub 25 min parkrun but alas will have to wait for a bit longer!
Very interesting perspective. I was a runner for 5 years and everything and everyone around me were also athletes or were pretty fit and a time like this would be a "moderate to threshold" workout pace. The funny thing too is that out of my friend group I was the fastest runner but was also the one sitting on the couch pounding pringles the most.
The Crossfit Games took place a week or so ago and they did a 5K run in that. Winning time for the men was 16:39. Second was the guy who won the Games as a whole, a 5ft 9 Canadian who weighs 14st and whose Olympic Total (Snatch+C&J) was 642lbs. His 5k time was 16:46
Crossfit is notorious for inflating runners pace and distance. I watched an event last year and the paces they talked about runners had were laughable just by measuring yourself. They inflated their running speed often up to 30sec less /km.
It's almost unbelievable that you're a natural athlete, 6ft 6 and 220lbs at your level of leanness. You are in incredible shape. As a fellow tall man of a similar height, its inspirational.
Great video and motivation for recovery and rehab following major corrective heart surgery. Give me 2 years and Mark Zuckerberg’s 5 m time is as good a goal as many. Agreed about your comments re government support and fitness activities.keep up the …frankly …great videos. You being you and not ashamed of admitting frailties, deficiencies and mistakes (followed big a good historical movie or song reference) and finishing positive is why I watch you. I’m getting gold medals in my mind about walking around a ward with nurse and a trolley of drips and electronics. Can’t wait to tie on my ASICS and get out on some trails again.
More quality content Mark! You've been a big reason for my recent decision to get fit and healthy again in my late 30's, so thanks for the inspiration! I mainly indoor row on the concept 2 in my pain cave. Even though i'm not 6' 2", it's still been my fav activity since my early 20's gym bro days. A few years ago i bought a PaddleSport Training paddle adapter kit for it to add some rotational training in the form of paddling, which has been a lot of fun. Stick with me, I'm getting to the point. Recently I watched a video where you did a race on a stand up paddleboard, which looked a lot of fun, so the other day I bought an amazon special side to side wobble board (+ grip tape on the floor to stop any unwanted rotation) which now allows me to stand up and paddle! Great fun! Adds a huge core/balance component that i was missing. I'd recommend trying it, especially if you're doing more SUP races. Perhaps PaddleSport Training would even send you a free one. If nothing else you could probably squeeze a video or two out of it. Stay hard..
Actually, I got my paddle adapter kit in 2017 or something. Upon checking the PST website, I see they now actually sell a long SUP paddle as an add on! Tempting..
I’m 70 now but in my 30s I did some fun runs over about 5km. I was doing 4 min km which I thought was reasonable. I hardly used to run at all but I was doing competitive cycling and pretty fit. After each run I found it difficult to walk for a few days. By the time the next run came around I was just coming good muscle wise. Then I’d run and I’d go through the whole thing again.
With his level of wealth and random fluctuations in the stock market, I’d guess he either increased or decreased his wealth by far more than I’ll earn in my lifetime in the time it took him to do 5k
New to your channel, and love your positivity! We are both faster than Mr Zuckerberg but you, him and I all share in enjoying the process. That's why we are all winners!
Hey Mark! Greta video! Can you do a video talking about your first 10k race? When you were fairly new to running? Mindset, preperations etc. I ran my first 10k race earlier this June, just recovering from a brutal mancold, went pretty ok. Under 1 hour 😁
Just got 20:33 a couple of weeks ago, quite close to my sub 20 goal after a long time, 19:34 is very impressive for the average runner! Hoping to get to sub 20 before my 20th birthday, sub 20 under 20!
Mark is showing that heath is wealth. I think I have found a new respect for both of you being my first park run last Saturday was 26:30. And under 20 mite not be possible but 25 will happen! God Speed
"And I've run ultramarathons, in style" 😂 That was a good one. Anyway, at least I can beat a billionaire at something (if I'm allowed to canicross I could beat him by 6 minutes 😜). Good effort on the Parkrun, that's a heck of a pace for someone who could bicep curl my bodyweight 👀
0:26: Mark Zuckerberg ran a 5K race in 19 minutes 34 seconds. 0:46: If he competed in a local 5K race, he would likely be on the podium. 2:07: The race is full on from the beginning, and Zuckerberg is running with the front runners. 4:20: The author occasionally jogs but has never been a significant runner. 5:00: The author compares their running abilities to Harrison's, noting their differences in mile times and weight. 5:21: The author's son starts a fitness journey and scores well on a Cooper's run test, highlighting the importance of not comparing oneself to others. 8:30: The narrator had a tough week of training in the gym and participated in a 5K race two days prior. 9:13: The narrator felt they couldn't keep up with Richard's pace but decided to push themselves in the last 800 meters. 9:51: The narrator finished the race in 19 minutes and 28 seconds, beating Mark Zuckerberg's hypothetical time. Recap by Tammy AI
Excellent stuff, v entertaining and motivating. How old is Richard? He looks 70+. Hope for me yet. I am currently managed by 28:20ish trying to get to my 23:12 PB in 2015. I’m nearly 60, trying to get quick for that age group, probably.
Anyone else take on a billionaire for breakfast today 😂
I hope this goes viral enough for Zuckerberg to get competitive about this and record his own time live.

Recently I watched a video where you did a race on a stand up paddleboard, which looked a lot of fun, so the other day I bought an amazon special side to side wobble board (+ grip tape on the floor to stop any unwanted rotation) which now allows me to stand up and paddle! Great fun! Adds a huge core/balance component that i was missing.
I'd recommend trying it, especially if you're doing more SUP races. Perhaps PaddleSport Training would even send you a free one. If nothing else you could probably squeeze a video or two out of it.
Stay hard..
Actually, I got my paddle adapter kit in 2017 or something. Upon checking the PST website, I see they now actually sell a long SUP paddle as an add on! Tempting..
cool - looking into it!
Love this !!!!! I just started running at 66 and doing 13 min miles...I'll take it ! I'll never get better sitting on the. couch...wanna race ? !! 🤣
Mark Zuckerberg got nothin on you !!
I’m 70 now but in my 30s I did some fun runs over about 5km. I was doing 4 min km which I thought was reasonable. I hardly used to run at all but I was doing competitive cycling and pretty fit. After each run I found it difficult to walk for a few days. By the time the next run came around I was just coming good muscle wise. Then I’d run and I’d go through the whole thing again.
Well, that's some perspective...Zuck probably earned more than most of our net worth in the time it took him to run his 5K.
Yes. He’s annoyingly rich and fast. 😂
With his level of wealth and random fluctuations in the stock market, I’d guess he either increased or decreased his wealth by far more than I’ll earn in my lifetime in the time it took him to do 5k
Seeing a section of your head bobbing left and right during the race is actually kinda funny haha
Brilliant as ever Mark! Gonna hit the trails of the Welsh coast now 😎
10k pb today by 2 minutes 20, thanks for all the content Mark!
Nice result! 💪
New to your channel, and love your positivity!
We are both faster than Mr Zuckerberg but you, him and I all share in enjoying the process.
That's why we are all winners!
Got third with my PB of 19:15 5k a few years ago
Great vid really enjoyed that and plenty of laughs!
This video is brilliant and has a great message 👍
I need to do a park run 🏃♀️ 💪
Ah Woodley Parkrun! Hope I can catch you there one weekend 😀
Great content and humour as usual. Enjoyable watch. Brilliant. Cheers. M.
This was an awesome video idea and was backed up by a quality story of his park runs.
Well done 💪 Almost unsubscribed, but you came in hot on that final km. Saving face - and kicking a$$
Informative and entertaining. Thank you sir!
Hey Mark!
Greta video! Can you do a video talking about your first 10k race? When you were fairly new to running? Mindset, preperations etc. I ran my first 10k race earlier this June, just recovering from a brutal mancold, went pretty ok. Under 1 hour 😁
“Scrolling through… *_*don’t say TH-cam, don’t say TH-cam*_* …. Facebook” 😂😂
I didn't expect to love this but it really made me smile🤗
Well done mate. I’m trying to resume running, having bailed out on a couch to 5k a month ago….
Turing ran a marathon in 2:46 and was a computer nerd before computers were a thing.
The duck-pond-clip keeps making a comeback despite claims of retirement. Can't keep a good clip down.
It’s the Indiana Jones of clips. 😄
nothing wrong with a classic 😂😂@@MarkLewisfitness
Duck pond podiums are very inspirational.! 😊
Just got 20:33 a couple of weeks ago, quite close to my sub 20 goal after a long time, 19:34 is very impressive for the average runner! Hoping to get to sub 20 before my 20th birthday, sub 20 under 20!
This was so funny and motivational at the same time, what a great video
Great video, I was wondering what would bring you back to parkrun
As soon as I hit that sub 19...I'm done 😂
Mark is showing that heath is wealth. I think I have found a new respect for both of you being my first park run last Saturday was 26:30. And under 20 mite not be possible but 25 will happen!
God Speed
My first on was a 42 min 😂
@@MarkLewisfitness😮
Your videos are so great!!! Well done
"And I've run ultramarathons, in style" 😂 That was a good one.
Anyway, at least I can beat a billionaire at something (if I'm allowed to canicross I could beat him by 6 minutes 😜).
Good effort on the Parkrun, that's a heck of a pace for someone who could bicep curl my bodyweight 👀
Wonderful watch , smashed out a damn good PR myself yesterday well pleased with my time
Awesome! 💪
Watching your Body Cam at the start line reminds me of driving a Range Rover past regular cars
Amazing summary at the end of the video!
Thank you!
It’s an embarrassment that Zuckerberg is significantly faster than me. I’ve got to start running again. 😂
Can you Show us how you prepare (warm up) yourself before a run/race?
Duck pond jokes. F’n love this channel
0:26: Mark Zuckerberg ran a 5K race in 19 minutes 34 seconds.
0:46: If he competed in a local 5K race, he would likely be on the podium.
2:07: The race is full on from the beginning, and Zuckerberg is running with the front runners.
4:20: The author occasionally jogs but has never been a significant runner.
5:00: The author compares their running abilities to Harrison's, noting their differences in mile times and weight.
5:21: The author's son starts a fitness journey and scores well on a Cooper's run test, highlighting the importance of not comparing oneself to others.
8:30: The narrator had a tough week of training in the gym and participated in a 5K race two days prior.
9:13: The narrator felt they couldn't keep up with Richard's pace but decided to push themselves in the last 800 meters.
9:51: The narrator finished the race in 19 minutes and 28 seconds, beating Mark Zuckerberg's hypothetical time.
Recap by Tammy AI
EXCELLENT film, and love your humour as it is the same as mine 😂
Now try that time in Great Yarmouth Parkrun. No one has broken the 20 minute barrier yet.
Would like to see professionals try this event too.
Well done. Those of us who work with Richard have trouble keeping up with his tax knowledge!
Excellent stuff, v entertaining and motivating. How old is Richard? He looks 70+. Hope for me yet. I am currently managed by 28:20ish trying to get to my 23:12 PB in 2015. I’m nearly 60, trying to get quick for that age group, probably.
I like your way of thinking!!
Wow, 19.26 gets you 17th, you must have a tough local Parkrun. That time would be in the top 5 if not 1st at my local ones
Yep. Woodley is brutal 😂 I did a 19:02 there and didn’t make top ten 😂
Never a dull video with this guy. Top notch content without trying too hard. Keep em coming Mark. Congrats on achieving sub 20👏
I’m 60yo and my fastest 5k has never been under 27m.
You and Zuck just zucked me up.
at 4:40 is that bodyguard constantly running with facebookman with a hand on a firearm?
