In today's vlog I raced at the Finsbury Park 5000 festival. After a not so great 10k race last weekend, I was keen to prove to myself the shape I felt I was in based on my training. That PB feeling certainly felt sweet after a 9 month absence. If you enjoyed the vlog please leave a like and consider subscribing

Really brilliant aesthetic from the new camera, the voice over sections, and you doing those pieces to camera. When you mix it in with the more usual hand held sections etc it really keeps things fresh and interesting all the way through. A brilliant piece of work. Great to see Ben, nice one.

I wondered if it was a different camera at the start of the video, I really like it. Also really enjoyed watching the race with the voice over. It really felt that everyone was competitive but in a sort of supportive way, ie by pushing the group then you can better yourself. Really well done on the race, you seemed to have a great mental attitude going into it!

So not only did you get a new 5k pr, (even if it's just 1 second, it's still a pr man!), but you also won that hot chocolate as well :D 10:25 let's goo Ben! I ran a 2 mile time trial last week and ran a 12:37 which is 58 seconds behind my fastest ever 2 mile time (11:39) but to be fair, I haven't ran fast in a while and took a 2 week break before that as well, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can do after I do some months of training in XC and in the summer! Really wanting to break 11 minutes this year, break 18 minutes in the 5k, and of course the infamus (is that how you spell it Ben? Infamus?) sub 5 minute mile! Love that grind Ben!

@rassiepretorius2320 4 дня назад

This was proper pacing (for a change). Knowledge known by older runners for decades already. Yet, one often hear the remark, tried to stay competitive for as long as possible. And I think. These young guns of today really take their time to learn.

@markbateman9222 3 дня назад

Every race should be run without paying too much attention to a watch - especially if it's a short race like a 5K. A race is a race not a time trial, how fast you run is only part of the picture - the aim has to be to win the race (or at least beat as many people as possible) or die trying. Obviously you can't actually run that hard but that has to be the aim. Congrats on the PB. The 10K was just one of those runs - but not too unexpected as it was your first "short" race in quite a while.

@threatened2024 3 дня назад

Cycling is strict on people holding their line in sprint finishes, and while the same speeds and risks aren't replicated in running, being spiked, elbowed, or face-planting a sprint finish aren't much fun. It seems to be happening more frequently, and every incident is another too many. It needs to be stopped before someone loses their teeth in a road race.

Just track racing in my opinion. Very different to the roads. You naturally drift out to protect the position and I personally didn’t have issues with it. He ultimately had a faster kick at the end of the race :)
