  • In today's video:
    I take on my first ever 5k race, at Chesterfield's Queen's Park. The No Walk in the Park 5km race is organised by North Derbyshire Running Club on the first Saturday of each month (usually - check online for details). I aim for a sub 22:30, which would smash my current 5km PB of 23:23. See how I get on, as I also use Garmin's Pace Pro on my watch for the first time, aiming to get a negative split during the race.

    Nice one mate! Great job negative splitting too. The battle with time is psychological... Once you know you can run at that pace, it will give you such confidence to push on. You should definitely be aiming for a sub 45 10k now!

    • @markg99
      @markg99  4 месяца назад

      Cheers mate! The pacing really worked well for me. I had to let the faster runners go at the start, and stick to the plan. That was quite tough, watching them disappear into the distance but I'm glad it worked out. Great for confidence. We'll see about sub 45 😀👍

    • @markg99
      @markg99  4 месяца назад +1

      Cheers, Martin 👍 I am feeling a little bit speedier these days 😁 It's nice to mix things up a bit.
      I've noticed that my faster runs tend to be when I start off nice and steady so by getting the watch to tell me to gradually progress, it stopped me from burning all my matches too early 👌

  • @AndyCliffMTB
    @AndyCliffMTB 3 месяца назад +1

    Well done Mark, 22:08 is a remarkable time and the best part is that you bettered every target split. I'm still using iPhone to film but it's way from ideal, not sure about chest or head strap and GoPro for the future. Following my Sale Sizzler video, I was kindly offered a place at the Mid Cheshire 5K next Friday, tickets for that event are like hen's teeth so I'm chuffed however with my recent laser treatment for my PF which has been ongoing since Nov-23, I have been taking it relatively easy in terms of pace and cutting back on mileage so if I do sub-25 that'd be fantastic:)

    • @markg99
      @markg99  3 месяца назад +1

      Hey Andy. Thanks a lot mate. I was really happy with how the splits went on the day. My watch really helped m me to pace it well.
      I got my chest and head straps in a bundle from Amazon. They're pretty good if you don't mind looking like RUclipsr throughout the race 😄
      Good luck with Mid Cheshire 💪🏃‍♂️ Look after that PF 🤞

    @mariammiri2904 4 месяца назад +1

    Congratulations Mark! Looking forward to follow your steps. My current 5k BP is pretty close to your previous one 23:18. I was wondering how did you set up the Garmin Pro to pace you?!

    • @markg99
      @markg99  4 месяца назад

      Hi Mariam. Thanks a lot :) I hadn't used the Pace Pro option before, but I'll try to explain how I set it up and used it. I have the Garmin app on my phone, and that is where I started the setup. Hopefully you have that, or can install it.
      From there:
      1) Click the "...More" button to open the menu.
      2) Select "Training and Planning"
      3) Select "PacePro Pacing Strategies". I'm not sure which of the Garmin watches support this option. Mine is a Forerunner 945.
      4) Select "Create PacePro Strategy"
      5) Select "Select a Race Distance"
      6) Select "5k", then "Next"
      7) Enter a Goal Time of 22:30, in my example, then "Next"
      8) Select "Name" if you want to name your strategy, e.g. "5k race sub 22.30"
      9) It will default to a flat 4:40/km pace. If you want to start slower and build up, like I did, there is a slider at the bottom that lets you move the dot towards the "Negative" end of the scale, just a little bit. My time for Split 1 was set to 4:39 when I'd moved mine to where I wanted it. This was just an experiment, I had no idea where to put it for the best! It seemed to work ok though.
      10) [Save]
      You should see your PacePro strategy on screen now, and can click on the "arrow and phone" icon to send it to your watch. Pick your watch from the list to send it across. You can wait for your watch to synch or use the Synch option on your watch menu to speed things up.
      On race day (you can practice this beforehand). Select Run on your watch as normal, then go up to select the Options menu. Select PacePro Plans. Select your plan from the list (you will only have one I guess now). Start your run and it will keep showing you the target pace, and how far ahead or behind you are overall. I'd try this on a training run so you can see it in action and be confident with it before race day.
      Good luck with your 5k goal! :)
