Sprint Triathlon - Sub 20 5k
It was the last Salty Sea Dog Triathlon of the year. It poured with rain but it was a great fun event. I really went hard on the run and managed to just scrape in under 20 mins. It has been a goal for ages to run sub 20 off the bike so I am really happy with that.

Trail Run Safari - How to spot a Kingfisher
Просмотров 493 года назад
I went on a trail run around the stour valley nature reserve in Dorset. My main aim was to see a kingfisher and get it on camera. They are very illusive birds, but with a few simple methods, can be fairly easy to spot. This is also a good training run for my half marathon run that I did on the 18th of July. A video on that will be out soon. Follow me for more outdoor adventures

Looove that fesrure :)
huawei watch fit 2 has a similar functionality, i generally run by pace, the principle is the same, it takes an overall average pace for the entire run, and if your lucky enough to have a long, flat, hard, surface to run on you would expect your pace to be quite similar all the way round, bar a last segment 'near death experience' sprint in practice, many of us run on circuits with different gradient's and different surfaces, making an overall average less useful for judging where you are on your target, what these watches need is a running companion using your best (chosen) effort round a set route, which, using the watch's GPS, it can then report back to you in real time
I guess Garmin PacePro is an upgraded version of this - as it also takes terrain elevation into account?
I need to do some more research! Things have changed a bit since I did that video
Thanks for the video brother. I’m glad you did not left your lungs behind
I think I did :)))
I’ve just stumbled across your channel. Subscribed almost straight away. Fantastic content. Love your outlook on life. You take care dude. Looking forward to further stories 👍🏻
I would like to see a feature in virtual partner, where he gradually increases the pace after each kilometer.
My 245 won’t show the “Time Ahead”. Is there a different setting?
One Red and one Grey icon. Which is the Virtual partner and which is you?
good question. I cant remember. I tend to use the times and not the icons so much. I find it a bit small really
I know I'm late but glad I'm not the only one who did this. Signed up for a 12k Maverick trail later this month. Until yesterday furthest I'd run was 10k. Did a 12k yesterday with similar elevation but lots of walking. My goal will just be to get it done and enjoy my first trail race!
Very nice clear video, just what I wanted for my next half marathon, cheers
glad to be of service :)
Hi Sam I just came across this vid and found it really interesting (appreciate it's from a year ago though)... I find myself in a very similar position - targeting a sub 19 5km (aim is to beat my 12+ year old PB of 18:55) currently at around 20 mins, I also find that whatever I do, I always seem to pick up knee (or foot) niggles whenever I increase my run distance, and I also enjoy cycling/zwift etc. Interested to see what kind of running/cycling mileage you achieved your PB off the back of, so will give you a follow on strava - hope that's OK! Are you still keeping up the running / planning any more youtube content? Cheers, Graham.
Looks like Poole Parkrun. I've done it a few times, and the 10km race around the lakes at Christmas. I suspect that Virtual Partner is fine for a flat course like this, but what if there are hills? My first watch was a basic TomTom Runner. I also found the 'ghost' partner feature by accident, and loved it. Massively motivated me in training. It broke and I replaced with a Polar watch which doesn't have this (but does have estimated finish time feature I don't use (because it's too erratic (because it's based on current pace (one second your EFT is amazing, the next it is dreadful)))). On my TomTom Runner I could race against a previous 'me' in which the pace changed with the hills. The distance ahead/behind indicator was stable because I was running the same course.
Yes its Poole, its a flat course which helps. I have used it on a more hilly course and its not accurate but ultimately, it gives an idea. If you know your PB on the course then it will still give you a good target to aim for because it might drop behind on the up hills but you will make up for it on the downs. Im sure there is better solutions out there. It has taught me to understand my body and my natural running pacing has got so much better.
@@SamStewart1 since my comment I bought a forerunner 245 because it also has 'race an activity', which I believe works with virtual partner. This is what I was looking for, but it took some research to find out what Garmin calls it, and which watches have it. Virtual partner on its own probably isn't enough for me.
@@chesshead nice! let me know how you get on
@@SamStewart1 Yeovil half marathon today, watch froze after 20 metres!! Reset it a kilometre later and ran without the pace pro I set up last night. I noticed that virtual partner on its own can only do pacing in 5 second intervals, so not very good if you want it to do 5:47 kilometres, for example. Maybe it works better with 'race an activity'. Pace pro looks good, if it doesn't overload the watch again.
@@chesshead Oh No!!! I wonder what happened? I hav'nt had any problems with virtual partner. Its simple, limited but for most situations it seems to be ok. I now have the fenix 6 and its been a nice upgrade
Smashing Targets! I smashed that LIKE Button and Subscribed! AWESOME video!
Thanks!!
How do I see remaining distance? Basically, how do I know the distance I have left?
By scolling to a different page on the watch. You can set up an auto scroll too
@@SamStewart1 thanks
This is one of my favorite features on my fenix5... helpful for my pace controlling. I dont want to go too fast (afraid bonk earlier) neither I want to go too slow
its a game changer for sure
How many days between the hill sprints and PB?
Im not 100% sure but I think about a week or so
Its good but why did they not include distance remaining?
its on the other data screen.. you need to move " down" to see distance & time remaining.. with such animation, one data screen cannot occupied too many data
my uncle is holding me back my uncle is jealous of me for being a good runner my name is tommy elliott an i run in bromley parkrun i just need to improve 10 seconds to get to 18;20 then finaly find some peace
Looks good, just that you don't see your hart rate data.
You could set up the watch to auto cycle between screens. This would allow you to see it fairly easily
What do you eat before running?
If its a 5km then I normally don't eat before hand I love running on empty
Thanks for the video. I'm now 47 years old and new to running. I just spent 5 months trying to break 20 minutes (my BP was 20:33 when I started training for it) and eventually got there 4 weeks ago but I had to do a serious amount of training compared to you. Was averaging 50km per week including a 15 km long run to eventually break the barrier. I'm still making marginal gains and ran 19:35 last Saturday so I'm now dreaming about breaking 19 minutes hence why I'm here. I reckon if you upped your mileage and stayed injury free that running close to 17 minutes is a realistic prospect for you.
good work, yes I think there is potential to go faster but I generally can't stay injury free fro too long. It is a shame, however I cam super proud of the times I achieved last summer. Maybe won't be that fast again who knows
I’m 17 and in high school and just ran the same exact time of 19:35 today which was my pr
Great day and amazing views! Enjoyed the video with a great message for all.
On my old forerunner, I used to be able to have the watch buzz depending on whether you were ahead, on or behind pace. Any way to do that with the virtual partner
One way would be to set up the run as a workout on the watch instead. You can set up the distance and the pace you want to do it in. Then I think it will buzz when you are in the zone, ahead or behind.
used this today and had a pretty good time. Is there any way of adding 1 more field ? I dont know where the finish line is u until I get there.
There might be, Im not sure. One way of doing it would be to have your data screens auto scrolling so you can see the distance to go every few seconds.
@@SamStewart1 good idea , where will I find that ?
@@davidpatrick677 I think there is a setting called auto scroll. In the running menu you should be able to find it. You could set 2 data screens. 1 with distance run and distance to go, and the other with your virtual partner
@@SamStewart1 great stuff, found it. Thanks for help.
fantastic stuff this just what I have been looking for in widgets and apps for my Fenix 5X. Is there any way to program a 5K run with each K getting faster ? say start at 4;20 then 4;10, 4;00, 3;50, 3;39 for EG ? for a sub 20 ? Thanks again.
Yes. Create a workout in the Garmin connect app. Then load this to the watch. Its a great way of doing exactly that. You can even put warm ups in a cool downs. You don't have to press a single button whilst you go.
PacePro is what you want for that
PacePro is what you want for that
Thanks for the video. I have just bought a Garmin 935 which appears to be the only model without Race Pacer! I run a 23m 5k Park Run with 3 x 100ft elevations per lap in mud and soft poorly draining grass. Can the estimated time allow for the hills? Otherwise I think it will say I'm behind on the hills but without indicating how much slower I can go up each incline to still maintain the average. Does it do this or is there another setting? It is like I need a pace for each sector of the lap allowing for hills, thick mud and flat. Bit like an 'optimal lap' F1 drivers compile.
I believe it will just be consistent. So you would have to 'catch up' on the way down the hill a little bit. I don't know for sure but that is how I interpret the feature
@@SamStewart1 I think you are right. The feature doesn't really help with pacing except on a flat surface. Odd, because your car GPS adjusts is ETA.
@@Stuber9077 Its definitely got limitations but if used on a route you know well can be a total game changer
There is a feature that can be used in a similar way called pacepro, but not all garmin watches have it. It’s more of a weighting to positive or negative spilts. The only way I foresee it being able to take into account grade is running against a previous course. But not all garmins have barometer and gps altitude is definitely not accurate enough.
Does the virtual partner's pace change throughtout the 5km?
It doesn’t it remains consistent. However the estimated finish time and seconds ahead or behind is constantly changing
Great video! Planning to run this event for the first time in 2022 and hoping for weather like you had!
It was awesome, both the event and the weather. Good luck. I may even book on to it again this summer
Congratulations 👏
Thanks so much
Fantastic - well done 💪👏
Cheers mate
Looking at your stats and experience you could do sub 17 I reckon. Your young and clearly learning fast. Good luck.
Hopefully one day. I recently ran a 18.39 and I’m feeling fit so a few more weeks of structured training will see how it goes. Definitely not sub 17 yet though. Thanks for watching :)
This is wonderful! 👍🏻😊
Thanks! Parkrun is such a great event
Ah the memories, still can’t believe you got lost when we went
It was mental. A few meters in the wrong direction and it went pear shaped. A good lesson learnt
Another great video! And you are right, there were points the 360 looks like a personal drone. I may have to get one!!
It’s a cool effect isn’t it. Simple but effective :) glad you like the video
Beautiful footage, dear friend! I am happy to find other running channels like mine, to share our passions, to receive ideas from each other, to learn from each other and so on. Fully watched and subscribed dear friend!
Thank you so much for your great feed back and thanks for subscribing!!!
Looks like an awesome run, I have major trail envy! Love the the views and turns on the Gopro Max. Is it hard to edit the footage compared to regular cameras? Can't decide if that or a drone is next on the list haha
Yeah it’s such a great place to run! I love the go pro max. It’s a bit of a mission to edit but it’s such a great tool for these kinds of videos, so I think it’s worth the time investment. A drone is also great but has select uses I think
@@SamStewart1 Thanks for the feedback! That's my worry about the drone. How often will I actually stop to take it out... and the extra weight to carry haha Keep up the great videos. Liked and subscribed
@@wolfliferunning Thanks so much! It's the start of a journey for sure. I shot a video this morning on the max that basically looks like a drone video.
I’m doing the next one. Great video mate
Awesome! I may well be too. Hopefully see you there!
Great job! Loving the capture! Good luck with the half marathon!
Thanks so much! Half marathon video will be up soon :)
Great, thanks
You are welcome!
