I ran that race too. Found conditions really tough. The last lap was all about survival for me so well done maintaining an insane pace 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!
What did you saw your PB was, I didn't quite catch it, amazing race
Thanks 🙌🏻 10k PB is 30:46
@@justalilbester awesome , all rhe best in thus training block
Book shakalaka!
Great running and effort at the end Nick to break 32! Strong running to get past Alan Tango Holland, he's a top athlete from 5k to multi marathon events 👏
Excellent all around!!!! 👊🏻🤙🏻
ran a park run this morning in 22min and felt exactly what you said. thank u for acknowledging everyone's hard work - such a great guy! I can tell you're a saffa so lmk when you come back so we can hit a run
I have not run many 10k's. I break them down 7-2-1 Seven km run at my 10k race pace. 2km half way there psychologically, this is going to hurt, block off the demons 1 km hold on till the end
Ahhhh Nick! Just went out to do a half marathon pace test, was really happy with my time but wondered why Strava was congratulating me on a 20k PB and not the half…. I only went and ran 21.0 and forgot the 21.1. Needless to say the 1:36 will not be counting to my half PB. You ever done that before? Ran 100’m short 😅
Aaah bugger, sorry to hear but some good motivation for next time. My PB’s will all be on official signed off courses. But sometimes Strava is slightly out, usually a tiny bit over distance
champion is cameraman
Not bad for a 12 year smoker. One might even say fantastic. 3:12 pace: maybe that extra 12 seconds per kilometer is all due to 12 years of smoking. :)
Finally released a running simulator - RUN 2K24. There are excellent graphics, realistic physics - it’s clear that the developers did their best. :)
Thanks for another quality video. For me, I break a 10km into 5km - 2.5km - 2.5km intervals. Start out in Z2/3 and then increase my effort and pace at each interval to achieve a negative split.
I would lower the camera angle a little to see more down, otherwise perfect :)
The graphical representation of your run with the pace and course map is very pleasing to look at.
Great video, but the finish was the pits 🙈
What program do you use to get the telemetry overlay onto your video and synced?
This was when I exported via the Insta 360 app, which my Garmin data connected
Love this style of video. It's how I found your channel a while back. Having real time pace, heart rate and distance is a really nice addition. Great performance too!
Well done Nick. Operation Speed helped me . When you started it in May I also started it in my mind and it was so great to get lots of PBs up to marathon level.
Great to hear!! Glad yours is going well. A nice time of year for shorter distance racing!
True ❤
Amazingly filmed. Thanks so much for keeping the awesome videos coming lately, Nick. The motivation and inspiration has been through the roof for me. In my opinion you're the very best running channel on UA-cam. Big success is coming your way for sure.
Thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words 🫶🏻 let’s keep going! Next up, a 5k 🎯 onwards and upwards!
Super, gratulacje. Jest chęć na więcej? 😉

Bossed this Nick! I’ve been looking into the go3 for a while and will end up buying one eventually I think? How easy is it to use and get the GPS interface on the video as you have it displayed? When I get one I’ll use the link 🫡
Pretty easy, once your Garmin Connect is connected (if you have a Garmin). Thanks for the support 🙌🏻 You’ll love it trust me, so easy.

I am a Marathon runner (3:33). I have been running for 18 months now and I have always had a problem with drugs. I have done all sorts of drugs on and off for the last 3 years really hard. (Weed, Alcohol, Caffeine, Shrooms, LSD, MDMA, Amphetamines, Ketamine and Cocaine) Not exactly proud of it but now I want to find a way to live without them. I am tried of living with drugs. I have always used it to treat adhd symptoms. I think I will just have to work harder than someone else who doesn’t have ADHD. Anyone else who has drug problems just know to never give up. If you choose not to you will never get better.❤
Great work! Thanks Nick.
I did a 20 minute and 35 second 5k parkrun at 11 years old
Would be cool to have shades with that info displayed in real time. 🤔
Another exciting race and video! I look at your performance like my non-running friends look at me 😀
🤣🤣 classic. Glad you enjoyed it mate 🙌🏻 next up a 5k 🔥
I'm glad I'm not the only one who dislikes running in the heat 😅
Brilliant run Nick, thanks for bringing us all along on the ride!
Wow you made that close 😂🎉
Awesome grind, so strong, great performance mate. You're so strong mentally Nick 🫡
Inspirational, I’m from SA living in Sweden now, took up running 8 months ago, lost 42kgs and ran my first marathon a few weeks back with the Stockholm marathon. Seeing what you can do just pushes me more! Great job !
You ran a marathon 8 months into your running journey ? What a badass 😅🎉

Why does every white dude from SA flee the country as soon as they can?
Great running. Congrats, well done.
I was heading into work one day this last week and saw you jog past me on Conduit street mate, took me by surprise. Good race!
Well done, Nick.What an awesome finish. You certainly left it all out on the track.
Last two 10ks I have used 3k / 5k / 2k breakdowns. That opening 3k is crucial, and even slightly going too hard in that section can result in having to dial back in the 5k section, so you can push for the last 2k. But I race with power as my primary metric, and don't really look at pacing until afterwards. Which can result in some wildly different KM pacing due to elevation and headwind changes. But really provides a much better mechanism for quantifying your effort when your personal RPE isn't perfectly dialed in. Congrats on the sub 32, you executed very well early and made the right move at the right time.
Que vídeo legal, muito obrigado, Nick!
Good video Nick, the race POVs with just the sound makes me wanna race! When youre in speed training mode, how often will you race 5ks (or race in general)? Is there such a thing as doing too many races in a time frame for you because of the load it puts on your body?
Yes you can definitely do too many races but I’m looking to race about 4-5 shorter races in the space of 6 weeks. Quite nice to recovery quickly from the shorter distance races 👌🏻
Great video loved all the angles, do you think you will try to break 30 for the 10k and 14 for the 5k would love to see some progression videos to those times smashing run as always !
Hmmmm still got quite a bit of work to reach those goals. But I’ll keep working away and giving it a good shot and see where I can get to 🙌🏻
My best effort at a 10k so far is one hour. I'm new to it. Well done on your speedy 10k 🎉. I just go at comfortable pace for 10 km... I manage a 5 km in 28 mins so not much slower on my 10k. Normally a 5 km runner so the extra 5 km is a bonus. Next to build to half marathon. I cycled length of a marathon today. Crazy to think of running it.
I break down my 10K's by 1-5-3-1. First km I try to get into my target pace (I usually start way to slowly), afterwards until 5-6km I maintain the pace, then at 6-9 I start trying to up my pace and at 1 km I go all out
I LOVE THE VIDEOS!!
Inspiring. Pace is out of this world
A total time clock would be nice please, Nick 👍
For sure, I couldn’t see a total time metric for this one but there must be.
