What a race this turned out to be!
Thanks Ben and Oliver for bringing out the best in me.
I re-live the whole experience and speak through the thoughts that ran through my mind.

This is how I mentally break down a 10k (3/3/3/1)
1st - 3rd km: Active warm-up. Control that adrenaline.
4th - 6th km: Requires focus. Sets the tone for the rest of the race.
7th - 9th KM: The hardest and normally the slowest of them all! GRIND!
Last km: ALL YOU GOT!

I hope this video helps if you if you have shorter race and need to block out those demons when the going gets tough.

BOOM SHAKALAKA!

    I really enjoy these race narrations. I also appreciate your attitude about slower runners (I am one), and I’d be in awe if you passed me at that pace.
  • @JHicks257
    I never thought watching someone else do a race with voiceover would be helpful and motivating......but it really is!!! I love these and appreciate them. I show these to my young son who is running cross country. I like seeing that no matter what time you run or how fast you can run, we are all going theough the same physical hirt and mental gymnastics. If you are pushing yourself, everyone can relate.
  • Physically, I acknowledge that two young children can be quite exhausting, particularly when Garmin sleep tracking consistently shows no personal bests in sleep quality. Mentally, however, I believe that the family as a whole provides a significant amount of energy, enabling you to perform in training and races. Anyhow, keep up the spirit Nick, thanks for the content.

    Fantastic insight. I hit 40 years old next year and my aim is to get sub 40 before it. I have around 150 seconds to get off. I can do it. These videos give me such inspiration. Cheers

    How I breakdown my 10k 1: Survive the race 😅 2: Hope I beat my personal record 🤞🏆
  • @saintsaens21
    Amazing, thanks for the voiceover. The one thing I don't envy you fast guys is these races can be quite lonely. I'm in the 39 minute pack and there's always quite a few guys around to battle with in the last k.
  • @derekrunsagain
    Lovely morning indeed. Watching the race just makes you want to get out and run!
  • @theptpharmacist
    Just love these kind of videos as I always wonder what goes through the minds of runners at the front, and how much we can actually translate to our running, such as breaking it into chunks. I found that working on mobility and strength in the lower back and hips helps with stride length. Would love to see you document this journey to keep improving and get stronger!
  • @jordanross634
    Amazing to see how hard you push yourself as an elite. Everyone is burning. Thanks for sharing!

    I enjoy these Nick, thanks! It really helps take me back to what it should feel like mentally to run fast! I’m coming from 5/6 years of getting fat (75kg>98kg) up to Feb 2022. Gave myself a 5k time trial at that point and ran a slowest-ever 28.40… and I had very little left at the end of that effort, including 4 day DOMS… 😬 Last week (Nov 2023), down from 98kg to a relatively spritely 82kg, I dipped below the 20 min mark for the first time in 11 years with a 19.50! No DOMS, and had enough to go run a cool down too. 💪😎 Your commentaries are hugely helpful to remember in these efforts!
  • @martinreidart

  • @justoutlaw6423
    My favourite kind of videos. Such an inspiration to beginers or trying to get back to fitness to see the strugle and the grind and the ultimate award in the end. Great result. Keep it going.
  • @jamesrowntree
    I'd love to see Oliver's splits especically given the effort in the last k!
  • @designcode
