My first 5k and I trained for it. Shocking, I know. My first thumbnail had 3 shock faces on it but my wife wisely told me to cut a couple of them out.
I wore a headcam, inspired by a fellow Andy- ‪@TheFODRunner‬
This is a reaction video - inside the mind of a guy running his first 5k at the ripe age of 44. Note: I have run 5 or 6 half marathons and marathons. I have also run 5000m time trials at the track, but never an actual 5k.
That changes now as I have brought on a coach, Matt Fox of ‪@sweatelite6526‬. I trained around 10 weeks. There is another 5k in three weeks and a 10k on August 3rd. I am training ultimately for the Marine Corp Marathon at the end of October.

@MidLifeRunner 18 дней назад

This is the closest thing to parkrun we have here. I wish they did it every weekend . It was fun

@WhatMatterstoMatt 21 день назад

It's funny. It just occurred to me that I have never run any actual 5km races before. Got into running and have only really ever run half marathons or full marathons. I have no real idea of what I could run an all out 5km at. Great video as always

@MidLifeRunner 20 дней назад

Thanks. Aiming for 6:00 the first couple of miles on the next one and empty it out after that. Just heard a guy say if you’re in 10k PB shape, you’re in marathon PR shape. I’ll do the next 5 k without the head deal.

@justoutlaw6423 21 день назад

That course seems really nice. First is really there to see what it is about. Now you know what to do and how to pace the next one. I think you'll shave a minute for sure on the next. Nick Bester has some great 5k race recap tactics videos.

@MidLifeRunner 21 день назад

Awesome! He seems like a very excitable guy. I will have to check it out

@TolunayOrkun 16 дней назад

Now that you have the course recorded, you can set a Garmin PacePro if you race this course next time that way you would know where you would push and where you can take it easier (hills) You can set up as many segments (or per km/mile basis) and decide how aggressive you want to be in hills. Play with it, it is a good tool.

@MidLifeRunner 15 дней назад

I’ll have to look into pace pro. I have not heard of it. This sounds fascinating

@tgibridays 21 день назад

Hahaha If I tried taking footage while running it would definitely look like the beginning of the video. Those small 5k's can be a little hard to pace for a race, especially if you're not super familiar with the course and there aren't at least a couple other runners at or around your goal pace.

@MidLifeRunner 21 день назад

Yeah, the next one should be sharper all around .

@TimGrose 18 дней назад

Firstly I like the title. Aren't us RU-vidrs meant to do things "WITHOUT" training :) More seriously I find it hard to "film" 5Ks as if am properly going for it don't have the "puff" to get the GoPro out. Never really fancied a head camera. My recent 5Ks have been quite similar. Around 6:00 start then little discrete slowing. Still always good to win a race. Yeah sure you could go faster with some competition and 5Ks I ran you need to race fairly often to get used to them.

@MidLifeRunner 17 дней назад

Cheers to that. It was fun. I can see myself running them a lot more frequently. I was going to GoPro a training run today but forgot the SIM card. I’m glad I did. It’s much more freeing to run without it. I’m on the fence for the sub 3 attempt in late October but leaning toward no GoPro just like the last attempt

@TimGrose 16 дней назад

@@MidLifeRunner As you may have seen I did 2:59:52 in my last marathon last year. I filmed a bit on my GoPro before I crossed the actual line and then put it in my back pocket thinking would get it out on the way. As it was I had to "focus" so much that I never had the energy to get it out and glad I didn't as sure even once would have a cost me the sub 3. As such did not want any "what ifs" in that regard. As it was the video did "OK" anyway and perhaps more realistic that I was there to race first and foremost. Generally I think it depends on your target and how close to it you might be.

@Miketheswerunner 21 день назад

Do you have any parkruns nearby? They are great to practice the 5k on, free with timing 😊

@seekingUltraNick 21 день назад

Well done! I’d say if you had done a legit 5k on better terrain and a loop (out and backs, ugh!), you’re easily a sub 17. Easy.

I'm quite fascinated by your running journey but this was hard to watch. I can totally understand having not so great video from the race since it was your first time recording like that. But the way you talk about it in the post race commentary is just... IDK. You sound bored and like whatever about it. Why post it if you don't even seem interested in it?

@MidLifeRunner 21 день назад

I really appreciate honest feedback. Thank you. Running means a lot to me and I’ve been super excited to run 5ks and a 10k this summer. Perhaps I was unconsciously disappointed and it came through in my tone or I have not had enough time to really process it. Either way, it must’ve come across like that - even though I am very satisfied with the results and happy to have done it. Thank you for building some mindfulness . 🙏🏼

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 21 день назад

Congrats on losing your 5K virginity🎉 MYCOACH assigned me a 5K TT which I refuse to do on the TM, or on the local track (here at 7900 ft) but decided to instead do a more fun 5K in Basalt, which is part of the Aspen Valley Marathon and HM weekend. Basalt is hilly too but at least it’s a few 100 ft lower and there will be other runners. I started out my running history only doing 5K’s so the reverse of your race history.
