Ran a 5k few weeks ago. First 2km were my training pace, then I accelerated. One factor that really helped was the adrenaline I got from overtaking a lot of people.
0:30 I laughed so hard at that statement because of its TRUTH . Yes, there are people out there with all the FLASH gear thinking those items will WIN the race with a complete lack of training.
@@goodyeoman4534 What makes me think he can't afford the gear is the same reason that makes you think I'm critiquing him. It wouldn't be a problem if he couldn't, rather it's his way of using this excuse to masquerade for his poverty.
RUclips randomly recommended this to me but I really enjoyed your story telling and your video production. Very helpful information for pacing strategies too. Congrats on your win and successfully implementing your plan!
Ran my first official 10k today. First 2k were 20% faster than on my PB, struggled really hard after. Managed to finish it, but not in a great time. Guess I'll work on my pacing strategy next. Congratz on your win, amazing time.
Yeah I’ve made the same mistake soo many times, it is for sure more fun to race when you manage to hit the right starting pace. Good luck on your next race 😊
Same here. Ran my first marathon 10k. Made the same mistake. ran initial km's faster. was struggling to keep the pace on last 2km stretch. I guess I need to work on my stamina and try to do negative splits.
The number of times I’ve come out too fast and ended up running positive splits compared to the number of times I’ve gotten it right is pretty comical. My 5k pr was run with positive splits and same with my 50k pr lol. Oh well, someday I’ll wise up
One of the best and most educational race videos I’ve seen on youtube! I started running 6 months ago and aim to break 20 min/5 km still this year, so thanks for the tips regarding pacing. Regards from Finland
Not yet still. My focus has just been to increase weekly mileage recently. Ok, maybe I’ll do a fartlek next week including 5k fast in the middle of it to see where I am.
@@jeremyringma Ye, around 3k is when you should start pushing and then just hope that there's something left in the tank for the last km, and also be ready to die
running a 5k is brutal, at the 3k mark is when I get that feeling of wanting to give up. My best time was 19:50 or something like that, I've never been able to run faster than that.
it could be interesting to do a video about all the training you did since the ultra/injury leading to this race, how you increased volume/intensity session to be 100% for this race ! GJ !
Wow that's a great strategy! Congrats. Thanks to your video(running every day for a year) i said to myself: let's see what happens if i try to run every day, too. It was a great journey and you inspired me to do that, i would've never tried! Coming off an injury my times are really slow comparing, i am doing 6:15/km (1.85 height and 102kg) on my best days, and will go on a 10k race middle of october. Trying to get under one hour for the 10k, that's my purpose for now, still losing weight and training. Cheers to you, legend! Ps: I envy you for the tracks and paths near your house, i live in bucharest, a crowded city. :)
Wow, congratulations on the incredible victory! Your performance in that race was nothing short of perfection. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and this video truly does justice to the strength and skill you showcased. Keep up the amazing work, and I can't wait to see more thrilling races like this one! 👍
Ran a 5k in June, went out in 3:18 pace hoping to break 16:40 which is 3:20 pace. Ended up burning after 2 km, after 3 km I closed my eyes and hoped for the best; atleast it felt so. Ended up at 17:09 and an average pace of 3:25. Race was so painful i have lost motivation for the 5k because I get flashbacks from this one race I ran..
Oof. Burning is never fun, but that’s still a wicked-fast time. My PB was 18:12 back in high school, and now several years away from regular training, I’m approaching that level of fitness again. Hope you got the 16:40 since last you posted this comment.
Nice inside look on an actual racing event. This is good stuff! I have not seen anything quite like this yet. Great on you to just stick to your strategy and also constantly checking on yourself in real time during the race whether to push it or not. Congrats, your strategy worked out great!
Make sure to make use of your fitness and strength while you’re young. I’m heading towards 50 and sorely wish I’d done some more adventurous and extended outings when I had the fitness and the time to do it. I endlessly watch RUclipsrs making amazing journeys (fernwee and Francis cade etc) and wish I’d attempted these epic life affirming trips when I could have rather than knuckling down working hard for little return. Use your time as a young fit person wisely.
@@yeknommonkey Don't wish when you can do it now with more knowledge and wisdom than when you were younger. You're only in your 40's. That's not old. My Tai Chi teacher was 60 but looked like he was 40 and could use leverage to overpower me even though I was 27 at the time and constantly doing intense calisthenics at the parks and weighted calisthenics with some light benching for reps in the gym. He knew I was "stronger" but he also knew how to use his whole body for power in ways I had no idea. As far as running is concerned, there are people who started at 50 or later and are now the best in their age group and can beat many younger "big-headed" people. Not just distance running but I've seen a teacher who was probably in his 40's who can still sprint and beat his students (video is on RUclips which shows a few older people beating young guys in various activities including running, wrestling and arm wrestling). I'm turning 35 soon and there are times when I wish I could've run track in high school (wasn't eligible) and that I didn't get injured when I was 16 (jumper's knee from too many bad dunk attempts) but I have to tell myself that I'm alive and I can do the things I wanted to do when I was younger now and do it better.
Congrats and thanks for sharing your experience❤. It gives me a motivation to go out for run even more. This summer finally a reached 22:00 min, but I'm already setting up the goal that for November I can finish within 21:00.
Congrats Goran! For the win and also for the attitude. The other guy was rather not satisfied at the finish line. Just look at his face ! Super motivating video, that's what Ive needed before upcoming 10k run.
Awesome video and 5km Goran! It seemed a bit like a video game watching that guy run ahead of you. Really cool your keen eye noticed him at the beginning as a guy with speed!
hes 100% right about this race strategy. most the time in 5ks i got out 10-15 seconds faster than my normal pace and end up running somewhere in the 19:40s but one time i did this and started much lighter and ran a pb of 19:24 hopefully i can break 19 this year
Wow, extremely impressive pace, I just managed to break 20 mins a few days ago, which is good because after i start University i dont think ill be breaking 19 anytime soon!
Damn, I just started running 2 months ago and currently my pb is 5km in 28 minutes, but I overdid it and think I tore a muscle. Really impressive this is keep it up!
Jag har följt dig i ett par år och vilken utveckling på produktionen och innehåll. Tack för att vi får följa hur det skulle kännas att ligga på 3.30/km. Keep up the good work!
I see Göran in the tumbnail with 20 : 04 and I think... wth did I miss, am I finally in range of this beast. No, no I'm not, 17 and some change. Good to see you flying there.
Fantastic video Goran :) I did the same mistake of pushing myself way too hard in the first couple of kms, only to have a finish time way worse than my average finish time. :(
Nice work! While keeping tabs on the competition is an important element of competition, it can also be a major distraction and throw a person off their plan. It takes a lot of mental work and self control to trust your strategy and your racing plan when the competition does something different.
Congratulations! It really proves the point that at any pace it's best to stick to a plan and pace. I've even found that from the second half of the pack where I just stick to my pace, feel low at everyone over taking at the start only to overtake them later on in the race (3/4 through usually). Well done!
Ive restarted running couppe of montha ago and yes the atrategy of not burning yourself out in the first paet ia so important. Bot only its effective in achieving great results but also youre not feeling like youre fighting with yourself the whole race.
Way to go. That's smart running. It actually can be harder not to run fast at the start of a race than towards the finish. It takes both discipline, and confidence.
Awesome run. I'm trying to run more now I'm into my 50s. I haven't run a 5k yet but that is the goal, if it wasn't for an annoying sore achiles which i only feel when i start to run.
Congratulations Man. I am based in Sweden and a beginner 5k runner and some similar stories behind me motivate me to run frequently. Hope I can meet you one day in a friendly marathon or somewhere. I would also like to write you personally to get in touch! Let me know how! Cheers!
0:28 The third option is that he found the shoes on sale and figured, why not. Like I did. Found 250€ New Balances on sale for 100€, so I got them to see what the fuss is about with carbon insert shoes.

Incredible job on the race. Kudos on winning! Love your storytelling and commentary too. Curious...what did you use to film during the race to be able to capture footage?
I live in Kambo, so it was super fun to watch you race around places I know! Next year I’ll have to run this race too. No chance I’ll be fighting for the win though! 😂

Congrats and kudos to the other runner for providing the drama! 😊
Thank you! Yes without him it wouldn’t have been a interesting video 😅
Racing between all those cars and pedestrians would drive me nuts!
Yeah that was terrible and anxiety inducing.
Ran a 5k few weeks ago. First 2km were my training pace, then I accelerated. One factor that really helped was the adrenaline I got from overtaking a lot of people.
fax with adrenaline it’s so much easier
The only way I can beat my coaches pace is by racing him. I just remember him asking if I have asthma when I started as I smoke him haha
I will be putting out a complimentary vlog entitled "How to run a 5k wrong and feel a pain akin to deliver a baby elephant twins."
0:30 I laughed so hard at that statement because of its TRUTH . Yes, there are people out there with all the FLASH gear thinking those items will WIN the race with a complete lack of training.
That's me :(. Bought all the good stuff one month into training haha
You don't need to be so easily triggered by other people's consumption choices. Perhaps the real reason is because you can't afford to yourself?
All the gear, no idea.
@@ronaldchristenkkson What makes you think he can't afford the gear? And why would it be a problem if he couldn't?

That course looked confusing, no?
Running into traffic and pedestrians was one thing but did you see him have to dodge the other runners coming from the side?! Bananas

Haven’t tested, but I recently did a 8,7 km tempo run, in which my fastest 5 km split was 20:52.
did u try it yet? i did 21:24 like a month ago and I should try and go sub 21 min soon
Not yet still. My focus has just been to increase weekly mileage recently. Ok, maybe I’ll do a fartlek next week including 5k fast in the middle of it to see where I am.
@@MikaV.-cp5qg yeah try it. Tell us how it went :-)
@@MikaV.-cp5qg Nice, this is the way. Just keep increasing mileage and implementing fartleks and things will come together
Great racing strategy and congratulations on the win! I thought you might have overtaken him a little too early tbh :)
Thanks! 😊
3k is a clutch point in a 5 k, it's at that point I typically can tell if I've either cooked it or nailed it
I thought the same, but looking at his pace,Göran was closing the gap very quickly
don't listen to the haters goran, perfect run
@@jeremyringma Ye, around 3k is when you should start pushing and then just hope that there's something left in the tank for the last km, and also be ready to die

Thanks yeah it wasn’t the fastest course but a fun one!
These follow-along videos are iconic :~) And the fact you perform so well just adds to the excitement!
Great time on the 5k! Way to push at the end!
Thanks so much!
Yup. Especially since it was a hilly / "twisty" route

Thanks! Yeah you will for sure have a nicer experience and faster finishing time that way good luck in your training and the race!
Really impressed that you raced this time.after the ultra and limited training this year.. really impressed!

So I tried your method yesterday and best my faster friend also getting a pb. Thank so much for your advice
Major kudos, Goran! Well done. Know your race and run it!
Thanks Nick!
Brilliant racing mate! Fantastic tactics and taking the win too 🥇 👏
What a great and informative way to give a race video some details. Love the on screen pace and distance - and congrats on the win!
It’s breakdown with actual race footage is soooooo cool! Always wondered what the race leaders’ perspective looks like.
And congratulations!!!!🎉🎉🎉
You did fantastic! Watching your strategy is awesome and very exciting to see the overtake!
congrats, also now i know what negative splits are. Finally someone who explains it in a simple format!
That was the best running video I have seen in a long time, massively enjoyed that thank you my friend. You now have my subscription

Tack, kul att höra! ☺️
I felt the rush as you overtook for 1st. Awesome
You were flying! Love your videos about competing. But seriously, that was one of the most convoluted 5k race courses I have ever seen...
Big congrats, Göran!
Great way to tell your story, I felt my competitive adrenaline rush :). All the best Goran!
That guy went off like he was a sub 15 minute runner, I imagine he paid for that start during the race 😂
He also wore out those alpha flys

Cant comprehend how fast this is, recently only just broke sub 30 5k...
That’s great as well!
Congrats to you brother! That was beautiful.

Great footage Goran and editing as well.
Nice execution Jonas. I ran my best time for a 5 k this year, yesterday. Pacing was similar to yours, final k was the fastest, but I average 4:18 lol.
02:50 per km is extremely fast. You must go at a stable pace of 20-25km/h to sustain such a push as well as a great stride length.
Increasing towards the end in every kilometer is impressive! Thanks for your teaching!
Congratulations on this Win !
Grattis, mannen! Mitt mål är att springa under 20 min. Väldigt bra video :D
