Just How Fast Can Mark Zuckerberg Run? | YouTuber Attempts Mr Facebook's Pace 

Anyone else take on a billionaire for breakfast today 😂

"Even if you maintain 6:18 per mile over an entire marathon, you'll finish 45 minutes behind Kipchoge". I never really grasped just how incredible Kipchoge is until now.

I know Mark is right and that we shouldn’t use others as a benchmark, but once I’m done with my half marathon, beating Zuckerberg is the next goal 😂

Fixing the nations health care problems at the duck pond is a weirdly inspirational message 😂

That speed walking clip always gets me.

"Everyone has strengths and weaknesses that aren't always immediately obvious" AMAZING ADVICE 🙌

Ok, finding out that he's MUCH faster than me is a great motivation to go for my interval session today 😀

Absolutely love your hilarious cutaways to your less heroic moments. You’re a genuinely good role model, Mark. Thanks for your entertaining videos.

That comparing yourself line got to me. I just ran my first race and it was a 10k and i came in deadlast 1:11:50 😅 but it was still my personal best😊 Thanks for the good content

Great video Mark. I can testify to how tough a sub-20 5k is, as it's a hurdle I'm still trying to overcome. Having gone from a 47 year old, 5 foot 7 inch, 14 .5 stone blob in August last year to 11 stone and 20 mins 30 secs at a parkrun now, I can safely say that need to average over 15kph for 5km ain't easy. Keep up the excellent content and I hope to pass Zuckerberg before age kicks in!

New to the channel and loving the content! Some great advice with added humour! I’m 8 months into my running journey and 54. Goals of sub 25 min 5k and 60min 10k and maybe a half marathon next year!🤘🏼

I lost it at "I'm bang on Facebook Speed™" 😂😂😂

The message of only comparing yourself to yourself is huge. After only back running 2 months now from a year off of very poor mental and physical health I got my 5k back under 25:00 today (all time PB of 22:30), not a huge milestone to some but it took a long time and a lot of work to get there the first time and im very happy to be on the right track again looking forward to each run. I know im capable of a lot more and im going to prove it to myself.

The duck-pond-clip keeps making a comeback despite claims of retirement. Can't keep a good clip down.

having found your channel a few months ago, as a recent graduate and someone who used to love being active and playing sport as a teen. i love watching your videos and it has given me the motivation to get out go for hikes and get into running (running, something ive never been into or liked the sound of)! however, as a 24 year old overweight (not obese) male, i am loving being active and just doing! love the no bullshit attitude and dry sense of humour within your content! i guess i just wanted to tell you about the inspiration youve had on me and say thank you! good quailty, real content that isnt some PT! keep smashing it and being above average!!!

I guess I have started a similar fitness journey to yours. I am 33 and started running again 8 weeks ago. I have run off and on over the years, but nothing this consistent. I started about 171kg and am now at 165kg. I am training for a half marathon on November 18th and just finished my 6 mile long run this morning. I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and have really enjoyed the motivation and your story. Keep up the good work!

10 seconds in and the clip of your attempt of race walking cracks me up so much 😂

Lesson of the day: run like a robot. Zuck does it naturally, for the rest of us, clearly a pacer does wonders.

Great content Mark, loving the way you get a message across and seeing your competitiveness….. can’t wait to see the next video.

Came across your videos last week and they motivated me to get off the couch and start moving again. Currently in old Mark Lewis shape with the goal of becoming above average one day. Keep up the great content Mark. Also, Nixon's best 5k time when? He would own Zuck for sure!

More quality content Mark! You've been a big reason for my recent decision to get fit and healthy again in my late 30's, so thanks for the inspiration! I mainly indoor row on the concept 2 in my pain cave. Even though i'm not 6' 2", it's still been my fav activity since my early 20's gym bro days. A few years ago i bought a PaddleSport Training paddle adapter kit for it to add some rotational training in the form of paddling, which has been a lot of fun. Stick with me, I'm getting to the point. Recently I watched a video where you did a race on a stand up paddleboard, which looked a lot of fun, so the other day I bought an amazon special side to side wobble board (+ grip tape on the floor to stop any unwanted rotation) which now allows me to stand up and paddle! Great fun! Adds a huge core/balance component that i was missing. I'd recommend trying it, especially if you're doing more SUP races. Perhaps PaddleSport Training would even send you a free one. If nothing else you could probably squeeze a video or two out of it. Stay hard..

When I was in middle school, my brother and I would do laps around our house. While I was winded after half a dozen laps, he had proven he could continue doing half a dozen more. I was 12. He was nearly 2 years younger than I. One of us became an NCAA D1 athlete, the other is still trying to catch his breath 🫠

This was a fun and light hearted video, great content. Please continue

I’ve just finished reading Born to Run based on your suggestion. Thank you for talking about it in your videos! Really has changed my mindset on running and was an incredibly inspiring read. Onto training for my first half marathon in November. Goal is to run an ultra next year. Cheers!

"... At the duck pond not the hospital," I want that on a t-shirt! Brilliant as ever!

Entertaining video! Think you hit the nail on the head when mentioning his size and weight. From my experience, if you've done a reasonable amount of running in the past, providing you keep yourself active and don't gain the weight you can still run reasonably well off doing less training (although it becomes more difficult with age). When you're a bigger guy it's much harder to get and stay running fit. After 12 years off myself, the weight is the main thing holding me back from running close to the times I once did

I'm glad you showed the camera rig early on, as it was blowing my tiny mind.

love to see how people were with you in the second race, nice clip towards the end :D

Found your channel not too long ago, and absolutely loving the content, keep it up Mark!

The short as an intro to a long form video got me into a 5 month old video that i wouldn't normally get recommended Great vid xx

Genuinely enjoy your videos so much!! Always get me giggling to myself

Amazing video mate, focus on yourself and don’t compete with others! Bit gutted with a knee injury and was oh so close to a sub 25 min parkrun but alas will have to wait for a bit longer!

Great video, again. I think a you and Richard collab would be good- push you both to sub 19/18 min Park Run?

My god I love these videos Mark you are hilarious 😂 well done great running 🏃‍♂️

Hey Mark! Greta video! Can you do a video talking about your first 10k race? When you were fairly new to running? Mindset, preperations etc. I ran my first 10k race earlier this June, just recovering from a brutal mancold, went pretty ok. Under 1 hour 😁

I love how you use the duck pond footage whenever you can!! greetings from Ecuador

Great message at the end, Mark. Thanks again for the video.

Thanks for the motivation Mark 😅, I am getting out the door now for a hopefully easyish 8km. I'm wondering if you know of any celebs (or well known computer nerds) with 5km times of just under 22 minutes? I am currently just starting on a 5km training plan after taking extended time off after a 88km ultra race in mid June and could use some motivation to get my 5km time back to under 22 minutes which is a time that I haven't run in a few years now 😅, the closest being a few sub 22 minutes 30 seconds attempts in 2022 😬. Keep up the good work and the cool, zany and thought provoking videos Mark 🙌

Really appreciate the "compare yourself to yourself" message. This would help so many people so much, but it is not stressed enough in society, in my opinion.

Love it. Gives a good perspective of where a good amateur athlete stands. Now go for the sequel to take on his Murph Challenge time😂👍🏻

Informative and entertaining. Thank you sir!

Top stuff Mark and great message to end the vlog.

This was an awesome video idea and was backed up by a quality story of his park runs.

I realy love your content! It's realy motivating me to get above average!

New to your channel, and love your positivity! We are both faster than Mr Zuckerberg but you, him and I all share in enjoying the process. That's why we are all winners!

Great video and big up Richard!

I fall into the "good build for running" group but am currently averaging 5:45/km. Not racing others, just racing myself. Immensely impressed by Zuckerberg's pace and any other person making their legs do that pace at my height. Seeing 30-something women at 5'3" run regular 4:40s blows my mind. I've found that doing a lot of zone 2 and now pushing my arse up mountains when trail running has helped my flat run pace by 15 sec/km. Next step: sleep more. DO HARD THINGS!

This video is brilliant and has a great message 👍 I need to do a park run 🏃‍♀️ 💪

One of the best content creators around currently. Top man.

Great content and humour as usual. Enjoyable watch. Brilliant. Cheers. M.

Very interesting perspective. I was a runner for 5 years and everything and everyone around me were also athletes or were pretty fit and a time like this would be a "moderate to threshold" workout pace. The funny thing too is that out of my friend group I was the fastest runner but was also the one sitting on the couch pounding pringles the most.

Great vid really enjoyed that and plenty of laughs!

Interesting post, really appreciated the commentary in the last couple of minutes regarding taking more agency over our collective health and the dig about corporate tax evasion.

The laugh @3.40 (podium celebration). You're epic mate

Mark, the manifestation of an 80’s super hero versus a 2000’s computer nerd…..the match up of the century we never knew we needed. 😂😂😂

A perfectly balanced video of sport, comedy, wisdom, and wholesome but realistic messaging ❤

This was so funny and motivational at the same time, what a great video

Brilliant as ever Mark! Gonna hit the trails of the Welsh coast now 😎

Well, that's some perspective...Zuck probably earned more than most of our net worth in the time it took him to run his 5K.

Should have linked Barnes fitness in the description! Totally agree with the message

Great video and motivation for recovery and rehab following major corrective heart surgery. Give me 2 years and Mark Zuckerberg’s 5 m time is as good a goal as many. Agreed about your comments re government support and fitness activities.keep up the …frankly …great videos. You being you and not ashamed of admitting frailties, deficiencies and mistakes (followed big a good historical movie or song reference) and finishing positive is why I watch you. I’m getting gold medals in my mind about walking around a ward with nurse and a trolley of drips and electronics. Can’t wait to tie on my ASICS and get out on some trails again.

Your videos are so great!!! Well done

I didn't expect to love this but it really made me smile🤗

Yet another great vid Mark… and especially well said in the sign off… what is this Facebook thing anyway? Is it like MySpace??

I’m 70 now but in my 30s I did some fun runs over about 5km. I was doing 4 min km which I thought was reasonable. I hardly used to run at all but I was doing competitive cycling and pretty fit. After each run I found it difficult to walk for a few days. By the time the next run came around I was just coming good muscle wise. Then I’d run and I’d go through the whole thing again.

Can you Show us how you prepare (warm up) yourself before a run/race?

Ah Woodley Parkrun! Hope I can catch you there one weekend 😀

You reminded me of a budget Hulk Hogan during the Parkrun. I'm sure that helped

Yet again, the Kipchoge comparison leaves jaws on the floor… really nice video Mark. Always, always, always… the person you want to compare yourself to is… yourself! 😊

Everything sub 4 minutes is already great. Especially when you consider the first kilometre is normally extremely congested.

Now try that time in Great Yarmouth Parkrun. No one has broken the 20 minute barrier yet. Would like to see professionals try this event too.

Billionaire effort Mark. Love the comment about funding duck pond ventures (or at least giving them tax breaks)…. Bravo 👏🏻

Very enjoyable video as always, and I couldn't agree more with the opinions expressed at the end...preach! 👏

Wonderful watch , smashed out a damn good PR myself yesterday well pleased with my time

10k pb today by 2 minutes 20, thanks for all the content Mark!

Well done mate. I’m trying to resume running, having bailed out on a couch to 5k a month ago….

Seeing a section of your head bobbing left and right during the race is actually kinda funny haha

Watching your Body Cam at the start line reminds me of driving a Range Rover past regular cars

Amazing summary at the end of the video!

Always amusing. Keep it up Mark.

Wholesome and thoroughly entertaining. Thank you. Probably educational too.

Facebook speed is a new thing. Funny how successful A type personalities like you have a difficult time keeping a good, honest and steady pace. When I coached triathlon full of $10k bikes attached to Porsches, keeping the A types in check was by far the most difficult. With all the tech it should be easy but the orangutang almost always took over and the end of the race was a death march despite all the promises prior to the race. Nice running man. After some injuries I am finally getting back into running. Did a hilly 5 miles the other day at 8min/mile pace. Felt alive!

11:30 so true, it’s not at the hospital, it’s about doing the work to keep yourself in good shape not just doing surgery to remove fat.

The GoPro above your head is so high 😂

I like your way of thinking!!

Great video, I was wondering what would bring you back to parkrun

Running with a pacer makes it so much better regarding preventing going out too fast.

I’m 60yo and my fastest 5k has never been under 27m. You and Zuck just zucked me up.

EXCELLENT film, and love your humour as it is the same as mine 😂

Fantastic Mark really enjoyed your vlog great time great all round fitness and strength great motivator leading by example for a man your age good luck with your challenges all the best

“Scrolling through… *_*don’t say RU-vid, don’t say RU-vid*_* …. Facebook” 😂😂

Well done 💪 Almost unsubscribed, but you came in hot on that final km. Saving face - and kicking a$$

The Crossfit Games took place a week or so ago and they did a 5K run in that. Winning time for the men was 16:39. Second was the guy who won the Games as a whole, a 5ft 9 Canadian who weighs 14st and whose Olympic Total (Snatch+C&J) was 642lbs. His 5k time was 16:46

It's almost unbelievable that you're a natural athlete, 6ft 6 and 220lbs at your level of leanness. You are in incredible shape. As a fellow tall man of a similar height, its inspirational.

Immediately liked the video for the effort put into that singlet

Love this !!!!! I just started running at 66 and doing 13 min miles...I'll take it ! I'll never get better sitting on the. couch...wanna race ? !! 🤣

That outro though 🤣

Turing ran a marathon in 2:46 and was a computer nerd before computers were a thing.

It’s an embarrassment that Zuckerberg is significantly faster than me. I’ve got to start running again. 😂

I discovered at age 11, if I ran through the stitch and pain around Wormwood Scrubs I got time to do my school homework before the next lesson. You're right about innate suitability, I've never seen a park runner with an athletes stride. At school there were only a few in each year who could do a 10k race at all. You are fun to watch, although a vid with a sports scientist overlaying your body building bulk with a true athlete in each sport would be educational. Your gym exercise handicaps you with even more muscle in the wrong place. Of course my knees are wrecked but I enjoy walking.
