5K RUN PR |  

I am same as you are. 5k 30min. Hope to move to 25 min

Hey Reyver, how are things progressing with your goal? Has your time improved since this last comment?

@@thepsychologist8159 I did it 26:10 for 5km, when I was participating 10km run. I was around fast pacers and it helped😀. I was not running as fast as they are however I am doing my PR.

@@TheMonchairman Progress of 4 minutes. That's excellent, keep it up. Plus also you did a 10km. Recently I decided to buy myself a treadmill. I've found many positives to this but one thing especially is locking in a pace and sticking to it. For example, after doing a warm-up I can set the pace to 12 km/h which equates to a 25 min 5km. But the other positive is being able to run when it's raining or freezing cold outside or just doing an easy long-run without having to leave the house. Also, I bought it because I sustained a deep muscle tear in my calf muscle (shin splint) so I wanted to reduce the impact force on my feet/legs compared to running on tarmac. Oh, and the other 'bonus' is my wife now uses it more than I do so it keeps her in shape!

5km in 22:30 second completed but 5km in 19:00minit how finish....

Yeah cause most long distance runners are skinny with no muscles. This guy lift weights too.

Eric Lukan I agree but the fact that he’s running on a track with no hills makes the time a lot better. Not trying to hate just saying it will make you faster

AJ Music no shit, he did a time trial why would he want to run it anywhere else lol

@@thefitnesslife4988 this dude smashes about 750mg of anabolics a week lol. You think he would go faster than mid 18's on a track.

if you took as much gear as he is clearly taking you would be way faster bro.

nice man!

All the best on your journey man, You've come so far already 🤘

@@user-jo4of6rr6b thank you brother. I finished the 5k, my time could've been a little better but my goal was to just finish it. I have another 5k I signed up for 80 days out. I'm cutting my finish time in half, then I'll do a 10k. Getting married on the first, still sober, still hitting the gym everyday, diet etc. I feel great and look the best I have since high school.

Most important thing is consistency, keep going, even if you’re just going through the motions...just show up...u got this

@@w.dieterich7077 I killed it. On a cleaner diet, still working out everyday. Training for a triathlon 3 months out now.

How many km did you run a week during those 6 months assuming you obviously increased?

@@mohamedorayith4626 Since posting I’ve actually trained for and ran a full marathon in November 2021. During my training which was about 6 months, I ran 40-50 miles per week. I am currently training for another marathon that will be this June 2022 and plan on reaching up to 60 miles per week for a few weeks. It definitely takes weeks to work up to that mileage though and you don’t want to jump right into high mileage runs

Have you tried *pranayama* along with Yoga? It can do wonders to your lung capacity which will translate into better track time while running.

I think just hitting the gym looks better on the body than running, running is impressive but I wouldn’t trade it for more muscle

You sound very similar to me at that age. Be very careful about running at those heavier body weights, especially as you age. It's hard on joints, ligaments, and tendons.

@@frostbitepokin9520 Yes Sir. :))

What's yo mile spit boi

For real 6 miles is a workout not a cooldown. After a 5k he shouldn't be doing any more than 2 for cooldown

Thass why he's jacked af

@@vladiinsky that doesn't make you jacked, it does the opposite lmfao

The Medi0crGAmer It can easily be cooldown if the speed is low, the distance doesn’t really matter on cooldowns. This comes from an experienced runner and xc-skier.

Thats easy took me one month from absolute zero

Boring Sam shut up and let the man have his moment people like you are the reason people are scared to get into running because other people just bully them and brag about their times/distance run and put other slower people down

Just stick to your training plan! A Half is a great distance..

Alyssa Schultz I started running in January and ran 28:00 flat last week, the struggle is real to shave time off.

Just keep working!

@@jordanmullet7943 how can you start and shortly after get that time? When i started running i was at maybe 45 minutes for 5k. I was NOT overweight and made a little bit of sport before

TheChuky18 either your cardiovascular system was super underdeveloped or you have asthma then cause around the 30 minute mark is pretty normal for a 5k after a bit of training (like Jordan’s four month training)

that's me lol

Don't call me out like that 😂 it's really impressive that he can run sub 20 when he's 60 pounds heavier than me

He's running on a flat track doped up to the gills. Wouldn't say he's relatable

@@SeaJayBelfast had to hate smh

SeaJayB so if you were to go for a 5k pr, you’re telling me you wouldn’t do it on a track?

What mistakes were you making with breathing and how did you fix them?

Have you watched this channel - Mark Lewis? ru-vid.com I really like this guy (he's not pretentious like Nick Bare). He went from 300 pounds down to 200 pounds and can now run a sub-20 for the 5km (in his 40's). But he's really down to earth and provides practical advice for the average runner.

Yah it wasn’t too bad. Probably would place well in my cross country section.

Your right about pacing though. If you work on that you can easily achieve somewhere around 18:15_18.20

@@anthonyd.fiacco5851 “wasn’t too bad”

It's fast, but it really isn't special. I run 18:49 at 197 Pounds, but not on a running track and with my asics DS-25 neutral running shoes. What do you think guys, would i be faster if i would be using those Nike VaporFly Next% and a running track? Most certainly. The thing is - Those times are no references, if equipment like these shoes are involved. A friend of mine (unexperienced runner) used those shoes, after running with a normal pair of asics, he was 4 MINUTES faster (from 35 smth to 31 smth). Nick would easily be a minute slower if he wouldn't use this shoe. And hence this shoe isn't the reference for most of the runners (simply because they are expensive as hell and unhealthy for your joints, because your legs will trust the cushioning, instead of using your very own Achilles Tendon), this time isn't really his PR.

My PR is 21:59 and I can't wait to break 20 (dunno when, but I have confidence I'll be able to one day!)

Tom Cunniffe I’m struggling to break 20 minutes, you got any tips?

Samdaman Forman try to build everything up, each time you go for a run try to get a better time. Try to have a consistent pace and maintain that pace. Be well rested and always stretch beforehand. Be sure to be hydrated before the run too. You’ll definitely get there 🤞👊

I think he just uses his Garmin Connect account.

Does anyone know his garmin connect account so we can add him?

You can search "nick bear" on garmin connect you'll see. Thank you 😊

I don t think famous people give it out bc it reveals where they live and their routine

I’m pretty sure you meant Nick Bare. But Yes, he is definitely on Garmin connect.

Utterly insane bro well done

💀

Im already died.. this is his strava who talking to you right now

That's amazing for someone who never ran before

@@darealjwats yup thats pretty amazing I just got to 31 minuts of 5k after running for a month

That's top-tier average. Good job.

Mine is 24 min

Henry the Garmin watches tend to not give u the exact heart rate, especially on all out runs. When I do easy runs for example my heart rate is about 150-165 (the Garmin watch says it) and when I do a max 5k it’s always about 150.. But when I measure it by myself it’s way higher so I think it’s just the watch which gets it wrong

Remember, everyone has their own heartrate. Dont compare. I know a pro cross country skier here in norway and his absolut max is 165. I use a hear rate monitor from garmin, thats accurate.

Dont trust the wrist readings, if you want accurate data use cheststrap

If you did an all out track effort with a Garmin wrist reading, your HR would read the same. No way that is his heart rate, then he either jogged or is above 50 years old

Don’t get discouraged! I personally run 17:31 in the 5k as a junior. When I race my heart rate get close to 195 and when I jog it hangs around 170. Try and just slow your runs down so you can run for your a longer time. After that you can gradually speed up.

Off 35-40 miles a week with 1 twenty mile run, ran a 5k in 18:18 and broke 3hrs in the marathon

ryan dyer 🙌🏾🙏🏾🤘🏾👊🏾👌🏾

After how many months later you run 5k after started ?

I ran no more than 40 km a week and managed 18:48.... and under 1:30 for a half.... couldn’t do a 3 hour marathon though I don’t think 🤔

Adam Mcneill good way to track times

Was the track he ran on 400m? Because since he did not run 12.5 laps... He only ran 12.25 so he had then 50m left

Noa kort och gott Looks to me like he did end it on a half lap

I actually counted it was twelve and in my opinion nearly half laps. Little bit short maybe by 20 mins. I never trust the GPS. But like I said way faster than me :-D

I agree, great effort but if you are on the track, use that for distance and not your watch. When you are racing, you can’t stop when your watch beeps, you stop when you hit the line.

Nice well done

Yeah, but he will get steam rolled if he goes against pro fighters. There is lot of techniques in multi disciplines that need to be hones for years ,in order to be a top tier MMA talent. He might have the endurance but it's difficult to tell if his muscles and lifting strength would transfer into explosive striking.

still incredible for a dude as heavily muscled as Nick, can you imagine seeing him on a track thinking you'd totally smash him only to see him keeping up with you lol

No it’s 12 laps and a 160 because a 5k is 3.l miles

Did he pull up short or go long though? I always find gps watches cut the corners off and you run longer.

Discovered the forum because of your comment and I am never returning.. the jealous, toxic critics coming out of the woordwork on that site is unbelievable. 🤮

@@user-kf5gc6jk8i people who are successful dont sit on forums, thats why its a place for loosers and jealous fucks

they'll say the truth, this isn't very fast. lol

@@32pritch They don't say the Truth because they don't acknowledge the //positive// side of the Truth-thereby leading to "toxic" comments & beliefs. I agree that this isn't, in juxtaposition to D1 times, D3 times, hell even high school times, that impressive. Here's your challenge: show me another natty male who's weighing ~200lbs at sub ~15% body fat (the 194lbs is most likely morning weight), almost 30 years of age, running sub 18'30" //at the beginning of their running potential// while maintaining lifting numbers that could probably place at a local USAPL meet cold. The truth is that the glass is half-empty... the truth is that the glass is half-full... the Truth is that the glass is both half-empty & half-full-see the bad with the good. That forum, & frankly individual attitudes who are THAT toxic, do not only choose not to see OTHERS' glasses half-full... but they shun & shame ANYONE ELSE who might believe that this might be impressive given his age, fitness history, sex, & supplementation. I didn't do a deep dive into the forum but I guarantee they accuse world champions of doping, shame university athletes for "slow" times-all the while most of them themselves couldn't hold candles anything near those achievements they criticize.

@@snowsnow4231 Many people on that forum are people who ran in college track competitively, so they would consider an 18:29 minute 5k to be slow.

Ian Donnelly I’m sure he’s comparing the same distance as last one so it’s comparable

I had the same thought but that track looks a little older and it may not have been measured correctly.

Christopher Knutson gps tends to be inaccurate on a track

Christopher Knutson 5k=5km=5,00m.......5000m/400m = 12.5

Christopher Knutson I see where you’re coming from. Wish we had one standardized system to avoid this confusion.

Great job keep it up 😌

Thats no way he only had 151 :)) and getting such a good time in a 5k run. No way. But wrist hr sensors when there`s a lot of sweat, they tend to become unreliable, like 20-30 beats per min.

A 5k is 3.10 miles, 12.5 laps is 3.125 miles so that . 0125 is the 50 m missed

A track is 400m, a 5km is 5000m forget the 3.1 miles, he was running a 5km. 400m x 12.5laps is 5000m or 5km. Plus he was looking at his GPS data on a watch which is NOT 100% accurate. He was short for sure as he wasn’t half way around the track. @David Mims

Kristian Andres explained this well. In running circles we'd call what Nick did a 5000m time trial (not 5k, not 3.1 mile, etc). I agree it looks like he was a little short but I'll also be the first to tell you that I don't care and Nick is a badass. I love the guy and the way he approaches life and fitness.

yup GPS data on a track is horrible

@@kristianandres7647 Actually I think his GPS was pretty accurate. If you run 12.5 laps you actually run about 5050m as it is impossible to run on the very inside. But I agree, an official 5k is 12.5 laps, but that is measured on the very inside of the lane, so we always run a little bit more.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Have you watched this channel - Mark Lewis? ru-vid.com I really like this guy (he's not pretentious like Nick Bare).

@@thepsychologist8159 I will check it out.

he has a video on this

Agreed, without a HR strap, wrist HR has a lot of variability and is more of a proxy for it. I say that as a guy of similar size and experience.

151 is definitely too low for a max effort 5k... Either he does not tighten the strap well or the sensor of his watch is not alright. Wrist hrm can be just fine for steady runs, even the intense ones. They however do fall too short for intervals and are completely unreliable for that use case. The reason is that a wrist optical HRM is aided by software/algorithms to circumvent its accuracy shortcomings... the algorithms is confused during intevals though, because the activity is not steady. I always use chest HRM for intervals and any session with abrupt pace changes.

Also sweat (especially old sweat) messes up the wrist hr. My usual rhr is 48ish. The other day it was switching between no reading and 110. A clean and a reboot sorted it.

It's uncommon but definitely possible, some people just have really low max heart rates. For example, the triathlete Lionel Sanders has a max HR of 169. Also, the optical HRs on the higher end Garmin's have significantly improved in recent years. I've had a 735xt and currently have a Fénix 5 - the HR on both closely matches my Wahoo chest strap.

Robin I’ve got a garmin 245, I always use the strap. I notice a huge difference on runs, especially intervals and max effort runs
