Crazy how relaxed you look at that pace Ben!

@hellomark1 24 дня назад

I always think this when I see top racers running, they look like they're out for a stroll! Since Ben said he was at 90% I imagine he was pushing damn hard, just not into the "actively dying" stage, which would be me at almost 2 minutes slower pace

Seeing a pro athlete doing 5k just exactly like I did my 5k in terms of effort management (not pace, ofc), especially around the 3rd-4th k, those huge exhale and groans, and the last 500m struggle, reminds me about a quote "you get faster, but it doesn't get easier"

This is one of the real problems with the way the sport is presented by the mass media. It misses some of the rawness. For example, the NFL is so much richer for the sounds of players clashing, etc.

Thanks Phily, she’s a true champ and someone I’ve learnt a hell of a lot from since we met last March. Was nice to be able to help her out but to be honest don’t think either of us expected her to come away with a 24 second pb, that was the cherry on top 😂

Listening to the Pod you with your injury and now callum with his has definitely made me re evaluate running through injuries and actually taking the time to heal and be good by doing hop tests etc has really been helpful and I'll come back stronger - hopefully hit a 5k summer race series local to me Jun/July and go sub 19.
