      I always think this when I see top racers running, they look like they're out for a stroll! Since Ben said he was at 90% I imagine he was pushing damn hard, just not into the "actively dying" stage, which would be me at almost 2 minutes slower pace

    I'm always impressed how fast the female pros recover their breath after a race. In the post race chat you were still catching breath, but Nina looked kind of relaxed already. Very impressive and knocking 20sec of a 5k time really impressive for an average runner, but doing it on a professional level huge respect.

    Never seen any of your content before but obviously this is a bit of a viral video to pop up randomly on my feed but I watched the whole thing! Think this video highlights how powerful a good storyline can be, super emotional (as in uplifting) and you feel that through the whole video. Same as all the other comments love the voiceover and you can just hear your natural passion for running in the commentary! Super inspiring content! I’m definitely subscribing for more videos!

  • @kedr77

    Great job for both of you. As an amateur runner, i understand how pacing is critical for any distance.
    Ben you did a great job and making the time for pacing duty says a lot about you.
    Huge support for your marathon coming up.

    so quick! I'm sat here getting envious as I injured myself on my marathon other week, now I'm unable to run....but I feel I'm not too far off now - maybe a cheeky parkrun easy easy pace next week...don't want to push it. Listening to the Pod you with your injury and now callum with his has definitely made me re evaluate running through injuries and actually taking the time to heal and be good by doing hop tests etc has really been helpful and I'll come back stronger - hopefully hit a 5k summer race series local to me Jun/July and go sub 19.
