Electric pace from early on.
Went though the 5k mark just about 30 seconds slower than my PB.
Cambridge half is always such a winner!
Hopefully you can learn from this race like I did.
GOOD VIBES!

Nick these type of videos and in race breakdowns really separate your channel vs others and something I really appreciate. The in race strategy and how to get it back together rather than full blow up is something to look up to. Keep on rocking! Boom!

@Ouga_Official 3 месяца назад

This might be weird, but I like these PoVs because I will never ever be front of pack so I have a completely different view of races being way at the back...

Great video, I was further back, 1:54, my first half marathon. The section around Grantchester did feel hard, but I enjoyed the end. Thanks for all the advice on your channel.

Incredible content! Last Sunday I was struggling with my demons chasing for sub 40' in a 10k race. I didn't make it but watching your content I learned a lot. Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant effort Nick. Thank you for taking us with you for the entire journey - gear/kit, nutrition and along for the fast ride. You know your body well to have held back a bit and pass those two runners ahead of you. Solid racing - well done. 🎉😎

@JouneyOfTheAmateurRunner 3 месяца назад

Amazing video Nick and amazing effort so pleased for you. It’s probably one of the best POV videos I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad the video didn’t cut out when you wanted it to that bit of footage and commentary was amazing you showed us raw footage , no man’s lands , the demons and what it’s really like out there. Just a quality video. On a other note when you one day hang your running shoes in many years time I think you could have a great career as a commentator as well - All the best mate - keep grinding 👍🏻👍🏻🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️💨💨💨💨

@justalilbester 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much! One thing this footage does is allow me to share my true thoughts with you. I was thinking potentially golf once I hang my running shoes up 🏌️‍♂️ haha but a commentator could work too. 😉

@JouneyOfTheAmateurRunner 3 месяца назад

I’m so glad you showed it Nick , it’s weird how things work out sometimes for me that was one of the best bits. Golf ⛳️ that’s means you have to wear them funny trousers 👖 😂😂 - keep smashing mate 👍🏻🏃‍♂️⛳️💨

@nath9091 3 месяца назад

Yay congrats Nick. I did it too coming in a much slower 1:57 although still a 4 min PB. Saw your name in the results and wondered when I'd see your video. That middle Barton Road/Granchester section was really brutal with the mild hills. Far more spectators came out later filling a lot of the pavements in the city. Probably not one I'd do again however as once you got to my wave 6 there were way too many people for only half closed roads and paths 90% of the time meaning constant weaving around slower people in earlier waves resulting in a lot of mild clipping and lack of running space and the water stations were a congested nightmare grinding to a halt. Didn't really clear up until about mile 11.

@callmeal4183 3 месяца назад

"Me versus the demons." (!) That's every race or parkrun I've run since getting back into the sport after a twenty year hiatus. Starting too fast and hanging on ........ Better than not running, though. Great videos showing what being a competitive runner is really like.

Brilliant video Nick, love these recaps. I also ran Cambridge Half and filmed some of it for my channel documenting sub-3 marathon training, but still working on the edit! Fair play for getting it out so quickly, it’s a (half) marathon in itself!

I used the actual start and stop as I thought it would be safer especially with the noice on course. Thanks so much! 🙌🏻

@richardyork-weaving5425 3 месяца назад

Love your videos Nick! You have really inspired me to take up running properly for the first time in my life. Really got the bug now and sneaked a 17.59 parkrun a few weeks ago and ran 1:22 at the Cambridge Half this weekend which was my first ever half marathon. Would love to hear more about your journey on how you got faster over time, eg what was your mileage and training like when you were running sub 18, then sub 17 etc. How long did it take you to improve to the point of doing the rapid sub 15 times you regularly post now!? Cheers, Richard

@justalilbester 3 месяца назад

Huge congrats 👏🏻 Okay great I’ll do one soon from how I went from a 25 min 5k to a sub 15 min 5k over the space of 10 years and how the mileage/training differed. 🙌🏻

Amazing Nick. You are so inspirational and good to know the best also have to grind it. Just did PB half. Only my second half mara racing it. And yeah i so felt like giving up midway to 15k. And locking on to others really helps. That wilderness period you had those demons were screaming im sure. How do you operate and chose go3 cam. Thinking of getting one. Could you also charge it while running say for a marathon. Doing Boston hence wanna max the footage

@justalilbester 3 месяца назад

Congrats on the PB!!! 🍕 yes I think you can in its charging case but I must say it has 48 minutes of running footage which is more than enough for a race. Especially if you stop and start it properly. Good luck for Boston 🦄
