@@justalilbester haha no, but I was starting a rep soon anyway so when I saw you I just went for it to see what your race pace was like. And like I said, strong run…after 200m I was done 😅
I managed my longest run in the past week....14km and a pb at a parkrun course. You are helping to motivate me with your videos. Thanks for your videos.
Nick i absolutely love the format of these race videos! So many other youtubers prefer to only show clips of the race but for me watching the full thing with your commentary is miles more intresting! Your tips are also amazing at helping me crush pb after pb every parkrun!
These thumbnails are top tier. But really enjoying following you along! Started watching your Parkrun 5K race voiceovers in the winter on my treadmill runs to stay motivated and pass the time. Keep getting Bester ;)
Big fan of you Nick and your channel. I love your positive attitude and drive. When I saw your "near miss" in this video it reminded me of a run where I was deep in conversation with a running partner and ran straight into a street bin! I was in a lot of pain but the embarrassment was worse! 😀
Running 3:55mins per km. thinking how in the hell am I going to get that down to 3min per km. your speed is just crazy I can’t ever imagine getting to that level
Well done nick I’m only 13 yesterday I got a pb of 18:27 and I hope to run as fast as you one day you are one of my inspirationions and role models though.
I found myself leading the pack Saturday for 3 laps of the 3.5 at Gloster City. I was screaming in my head for someone to take over and give me a break. So much easier to follow than lead 😂. Well done
YES!! another 5K!! I'm not as good a runner as you are but looked like you could've gone a tad harder. Could be wrong! You got it! I've been having shin splints, so I've been focusing on cross training :/ I sure want to run very soon though!
Yeah Amie does an amazing job. On the bike, filming and capturing the whole race clearly, whilst dodging things in a very busy park, at 20kms per hour. Talent 👌🏻
@@justalilbester I'd never ran in Battersea until last Monday evening. The amount of people, dogs, bikes, prams, runners in the opposite direction was unreal, never seen this many people and obstacles before.
@@nikolaykumchev9530yeah it’s crazy hey. It’s the ideal loop for runners too. Hence why you have to stay so alert during these races. The lead bike does a phenomenal job too I must say. It’s the most run park in the whole of the UK
Great video and fantastic running. Question about running strategy: I normally run my own 5k runs as you described in the video, however you also mentioned here that you should try to work as a group when you have people around - that sounds a bit contradictory to me. Which one do you focus on more, or do you reconcile both in some way?
If there are people to work with in and around you. Do it, it makes a big difference. But don’t fall back or speed up massively in order to do so. Hope that makes sense 👊🏻 judge it on race day
Great race and well done 👍. I just raced my first 5k and got 19:53. I was just wondering when you would recommend to kick at the end and how fast to go out at the start because I was dead after 2 km.
Another great video Nick and yes I was shouting out loud at people too get out yr way.. 🙈Roller blades nearly taking Amy out... 😭😂....Boommmsshhhaakkkalaka.....1st place next time... Ya... 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️x
Wouldn’t have been better to shelve the morning session rather than try combine both? Would have been great to get sub 15 again and finally get 1st place in this series (finally) 😅
Why do you always set off so fast at the beginning 200/400? Isn’t that a waste of energy? I know adrenaline but if you controlled it a bit more it may help in the last km. just my thought though! And could be gps problem!! Please correct me if I’m wrong! Love your content man ❤
GPS might be a bit jumpy right in the beginning. You always want to get into a good position. But yes, having said that, you want to conserve as much well energy as possible too.
maybe to run 2:20 in berlin you could implement more core workouts into your training, might bring your knees up and increase your stride length, up to you tho :)
Might be the video but it looks like your arm drive is getting very weak towards the end. Might be worth it to do a bit of specific shoulder training in the gym
Personally I'd recommend the Huawei Watch GT Runner, as it offers standard wireless charging (any non-proprietary wireless charger works) and extremely accurate sensors, priced at a fraction of similar Garmin options. It also lasts over 10 days of moderate use for me.

Respect to Peter. Phenomenonal💪
So glad I caught him at the end. What a great outlook to life!
"I'm grateful to be alive at this time" Peter is the man.
Its gripping stuff watching these 5k videos. 💪💪
Strong run Nick! I was the guy who started his rep as you came by 😂
@@cameronramsay8054 bwahaha 🤣 thanks for joining for a short while. Did you plan that?
@@justalilbester haha no, but I was starting a rep soon anyway so when I saw you I just went for it to see what your race pace was like. And like I said, strong run…after 200m I was done 😅

Great run Nick. I know you’re not a miler, but an all out mile video would be epic.

Lovely to hear! Together we grow! Onwards and upwards!!

I have a big feeling you are going to break 2:20 in Berlin. You are so determined. Goodluck!
Doing what I can!! 🧱 🤞🏻
I get second hand adrenaline watching you race 😂 well done Nick!
Peter is the MVP of this week for sure
Big fan of you Nick and your channel. I love your positive attitude and drive. When I saw your "near miss" in this video it reminded me of a run where I was deep in conversation with a running partner and ran straight into a street bin! I was in a lot of pain but the embarrassment was worse! 😀
😂 gotta stay focused at all times champ! 🙌🏻
15:51 yo Nick! My girlfriend is now a BIG fan of your channel all of the sudden.
Running 3:55mins per km. thinking how in the hell am I going to get that down to 3min per km. your speed is just crazy I can’t ever imagine getting to that level
@@AndreRees don’t get discouraged. He runs for over I dunno how many years and is really talented. But you can get close aswell. Never give up!
Nick I see a sub 2:20 in Berlin 👊🏾👏🏾 congrats on your awesome race.
Great run Nick. Big joy to watch. Thanks.
👏 Savage effort. Peter is the real winner iif u ask me.
thank you amie
Well done nick I’m only 13 yesterday I got a pb of 18:27 and I hope to run as fast as you one day you are one of my inspirationions and role models though.
At 13, you’re a machine! Can’t wait to see what you can do at my age, 34 ;) keep going 🙌🏻
@@justalilbester thanks doing a 1500m next Saturday very different to a 5k hoping to get under 5 mins.
@@Bentleym11how’d you do?
@@NNK_EDITZthanks for askin I got 4;56 😁 it’s a goal I’ve been aiming to hit for ages now so I’m delighted to tick it off ✔️
Sub 4:20 is in the books man, you got this for sure!
Heya Nick, had your article on Strava emailed to me about 5k and 10k training. Really good stuff, glad you're getting a push.
@@AnthonyBate really been enjoying writing articles for Strava I must say 🧡🫶🏻 glad you enjoyed it! Onwards and upwards!
Nick so close but an amazing effort considering you did a session this morning. Hopefully you can get sub 2:20 in the marathon.
I found myself leading the pack Saturday for 3 laps of the 3.5 at Gloster City. I was screaming in my head for someone to take over and give me a break. So much easier to follow than lead 😂.
Well done
😂 team work always makes the dream work! But hey, at the same time you’ve gotta run your own race
YES!! another 5K!! I'm not as good a runner as you are but looked like you could've gone a tad harder. Could be wrong! You got it!
I've been having shin splints, so I've been focusing on cross training :/ I sure want to run very soon though!
Nick: Well done peter!
Peter: I feel well done
haha
Phenomenal running!
Amazing work, Nick
Nick you may need to wait until winter for your best times.
@@francolive5718 no no let’s brake through the warmer conditions 🧱 even though it’s not my specialty
I don't know who films your runs but Amie always does a fantastic job!

Nice one Nick 👏👏👏
Nick - these are really helpful. can you do a video on different warm ups you do for different race lengths please. Thank you
Yeah sure I’ll do this at some point 🙌🏻
Personally I can’t watch enough of these. Best of luck going for sub 2:20. BOOM…….
Battersea is so good for these style of races
Amazing footage! Love watching these races 🎉
Let's go Nick💪
Impressive cadence, 190spm!
Loving your videos. The commentary just makes sense.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Great job as always
Saw you there ! 17.59 and bottom 50% , speedy runners😂
Inspiring stuff! Good luck for the marathon training.
This is becoming my preferred running channel of all. Great race aswell, good job Nick! But the main man is Peter of London, what a man!

@@justalilbester Got it, that makes sense - slight adjustments. Thanks!
Km 3-4 is the running equivalent of a James Bond villain 👿
Great race and well done 👍. I just raced my first 5k and got 19:53. I was just wondering when you would recommend to kick at the end and how fast to go out at the start because I was dead after 2 km.
Start picking it up from 1km to go, the closer you get to the finish line. The more you’ll find something 💪🏻
Nick when the old guy shouted number two I think he was trying to tell you he needs to go to the toilet!!!
Bwahaha this did make me laugh out loud!!
That Chris Greenwood for Kent AC ran 15.19 5km. (Men Vet 50 Category). That is super impressive.
Another great video Nick and yes I was shouting out loud at people too get out yr way.. 🙈Roller blades nearly taking Amy out... 😭😂....Boommmsshhhaakkkalaka.....1st place next time... Ya... 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️x
🤣🤣 dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!! 😜 x
Wouldn’t have been better to shelve the morning session rather than try combine both? Would have been great to get sub 15 again and finally get 1st place in this series (finally) 😅
Probably buuut I thought this would hurt more and it did 😜 this block is all about snapping out of my comfort zone.
No one does this style of video better
love these vids nick, i just ran a pb of 20:24 for the k, sub 20 coming soon
Peter from London is the real winner, wow what an effort from him. Amazing at his age
Brilliant to watch. What would you typically eat the morning of?
SWEET
Silver surfer let’s go I love these videos
Peter let's fucking go.
Nick you also did quite well : D
Would you recommend the adidas prime x2 strung or go for the pro 3’s? (Not an elite runner) thanks!
They’re both amazing. Go try them both on at a shop if you can and see which one you prefer

@@justalilbester okay thanks for clearing it up. Boom shakalaka!
Niceee job 🎉
That 82 year old guy, encouraged me to run more and never giveup..
Hi Nick. When you say 'starting the load' in races, do you mean taking turns in running in front and breaking the wind?
Peter is a top guy ❤
It seems the 5k in Battersea brings fast runners. May give it a go to get that 19 minute.
maybe to run 2:20 in berlin you could implement more core workouts into your training, might bring your knees up and increase your stride length, up to you tho :)
Please track down Peter and interview him. What a legend! You were okay too 🤣
Hi Nick, Do the pro evo 1 come with insoles in them? Thanks
hi sir my max heart rate from my last 5k race was 213, what does this mean?😊
Might be the video but it looks like your arm drive is getting very weak towards the end. Might be worth it to do a bit of specific shoulder training in the gym
is there prize money for these types of races
Looks pretty local, so probably not?
Nope not for this one :)
👍👌💪🔥🔥
So "Ben is running" is quicker than Nick in the 5K? Wat about 10k and half.

Are you South African?
Bro you gotta stop looking at the watch so much and just live in the moment
Perhaps I’ll do a race without a watch soon ;)
Hi mate, do you train in the pro 3s too? Or just race in them?
I'm also looking to get a watch but not sure which one to go for
Cheers 😎
Hey mate, I train with my older pairs of Pro 3 (on my key longer runs) and then race in a fresher pair.
Can’t wrong wrong with a Garmin forerunner 👌🏻
@@justalilbester thanks brother
