    • @kierenkd
      @kierenkd 2 года назад +3

      Thats the point of the handicap, to get away from Net Time, and only show handicap race time. So 5K net + handicap time = 60 minutes. The runners finish either slightly faster or slightly slower than 60 minutes. The idea is that in theory, everyone crosses the finish at the same time but slower runners tend to fair better

    Great content :-) Enjoyable to watch. You guys did amazing and definitely need a rematch. I'd suggest doing a rematch over the 10K distance. For fun making it a 5K out and 5K back on the same route. You'll pass each other at some point to get a glimpse of where you might be according to the others. Thus give Anna opportunity for redemption. Being an ultrarunner the 10K might be more in her favor.

  • @anelkaisgood2
    @anelkaisgood2 11 месяцев назад +3

    They should definitely do this again, but everyone has to do what Ana did and run to their allocated times, so that the finish will become a perfect sprint finish, and they all finish together!!! Good concept, but they didn’t quite do it properly to get the Hollywood finish!!! 😍😍.
    Do it again @runningchannel

  • @skirtonbear1
    @skirtonbear1 2 года назад +6

    Love Anna’s never quit attitude, Sarah’s always positive even when it’s not attitude, and Andy’s humility. I totally identified with Jess as she ran. (Haven’t finished the video yet, so I’ve no idea if anyone has caught anyone yet.)

  • @stevegordon4807
    @stevegordon4807 2 года назад +19

    This was brilliant. I don't understand how Sarah can a pb while talking and singing all of the time. Like everyone else I would like to see the times that were run. Everyone looked like they were running far faster than their predicted times apart from Anna played did it properly by sticking to her predicted time!

      In the first half you should still be able to do those things. Otherwise you will slow down after that. But there are some individual differences for sure

  • @fiekeschool4523
    @fiekeschool4523 2 года назад

    I totally agree with Anna. I consider myself a pro at predicting times - 2 months ago I put down 10:40 for a 3km and ran 10:40.51, then 2 weeks later put down 5:05 for a 1500m and ran 5:05.9, then 3 weeks ago put down 18:20 for 5km and ran 18:20.9. That's all on the track though so I'm not sure how I would fare in the mud - like Jess said I would probably be sliding more than running!

  • @davidjuson5608
    @davidjuson5608 2 года назад

    Great fun. As ever: a big thank you.
    Was doing something similar during the lockdown. A bunch of us would turn up on Southampton Common on Saturday mornings (8:30ish) and, socially distanced, give each other head starts based more on whim than calculation. We usually finished within minutes of each other for a socially distanced chat, before shuffling off to home and isolation. .
    As for a challenge: it occurred to me whilst watching the video that you could set up an event between yourselves and inviting other running vlog hosts to race whilst all recording with their Gopro cameras. In the fashion of the famous Monty Python "Whicker Island" sketch.
    It might be necessary to script it but, given a lot of thought, I think the idea has potential. For creating utter chaos if nothing else.

  • @becca.xxoodancer8676
    @becca.xxoodancer8676 4 месяца назад

    This is brill. Our club is about to do their 4th one with 32 participants. We use each participant’s best recent time (approximately the last 3 months and accurate to the second). We then set them off in intervals according to their times. A spreadsheet is really useful. We award gold, silver and bronze medals to keep for the first three to cross the finish line. We use local parkrun courses. We have timekeepers just like parkrun, so we record everyone’s gun time. We also know their handicap start time, so can also provide their chip time too. Again, a spreadsheet is really useful.

  • @waterfox8
    @waterfox8 2 года назад +1

    Totally agree with Anna, handicaps only work second time round when you've all got actual times rather than comfortable guesses!

    I'm the handicapper and timekeeper for our running club handicap series - 8 races, March to October, over 3.4 miles of cross-country route. We regularly 20% of the membership racing, and start times are adjusted monthly to pull back the faster finishers and bring up slower ones. The mad sprint for the finish line is great fun, I have to use a GoPro to ensure everyone is kept in the right order !

    @chrisprosser5055 2 года назад +14

    Great competition, I think the hardest thing with this sort of challenge is coming up with fair target times. What were your finishing times in the end? I guess the three of you must have been faster than predicted if Anna was dead on her predicted 26:30 and came in last. I guess if you did have a round 2 - you have a good benchmark time for everyone.

  • @colinlittlewood9613
    @colinlittlewood9613 2 года назад +3

    Handicap races are great fun, though the odds are always stacked against the faster runners. A 1% improvement for a 40 minute 5k runner is 24 seconds, for a 20 minute 5k runner it is 12 seconds so if the 40 minute runner betters their target, the 20 minute runner needs to double their improvement in percentage terms to match them. I've never finished higher than mid-pack, even the time when I got lost and only did 4.8k!

    Why do people keep writing here that everyone “lied” about their expected time except for Anna to justify the results? True we don’t know much about Jess. But according to the TRC videos, Sarah’s last PB was a 23:10 in a non-muddy race. Andy can do better than 17min but he knew about the muddy course. And Anna should be able to run at least a 25min 5k (she recently ran a 52min 10k).
    So kudos to Sarah because if you guys follow her Strava, she’s really putting the work in and while she flashed out a massive PB on a difficult course, she probably didn’t know how fast she’s become.

    Well done all of you - fun to watch, not sure about participating!!! Definitely a rematch, possibly over a longer distance so Anna can utilise her strengths 👍👍

    Our running club have been running a winter handicap for 30 years. Eight monthly races on a 3.5 mile course, great fun
