SUB 15 MINUTE 5K! MY THOUGHTS THROUGHOUT THE RACE

I think that it is amazing that Amy can run the same pace while running backwards and holding the camera so steady

It's mad to me that top marathon runners run this pace for 2 hours.

That kid has an absolutely beautiful stride. Just looks effortless. Running at 77 Kgs at that speed is definitely hard. Great job!

Morgan really has an elegant stride.

Morgan has a SERIOUS stride. Way to go!!

"Last 600m. You versus you." That's my favorite part of running. That step by step, minute by minute, hour by hour, mile by mile battle with yourself. It's the most meditative experience that I know of.

Bro congrats!!! I swear I hit aerobic threshold watching you LOL

Fellow runner here. In my mind the most beautiful part of running is when someone with supreme conditioning and ability makes it look absolutely effortless.. But when I'm in the race, I'm disgusted by them - in my mind I can accept people being better runners than me, being able to go farther / quicker... what I struggle with is how easy they make it look! They should have at least some of my breathlessness and pain 😂😂

Great content. Didn't think I would ever sit through watching someone running for 15 minutes, but here we are =]

This is the kind of videos that i have been looking for! No music, just a voice over a video of someone running. Raw. Really instructional and clear. Thanks mate!

To a veteran (age 65) masters competitor like me, this is a thrilling and highly educational video. My 5K PR as a mid-20-something was 17:27, so I never got to experience the vibe up front, as it were. For that reason alone, you've gifted an Old Guy with a front-row seat, and I thank you for that. But I love your stream-of-consciousness narration, which resonates strongly, I'm sure, with many of us who love competition, at whatever speed, and are canny enough to keep our powder dry for the moment when we make our move. I was amazed, frankly, when you left your young competitor in the dust at the beginning of mile 3. His stride was fantastic, as you noted. Yours is serviceable. But here, too, you taught us something, which is that the "right" body, the "right" stride, isn't the only thing that counts. Training counts; heart counts; racing strategy counts. Please continue! This is inspiring.

Your stride was so smooth and walking us through the entire race makes even more interesting. 14:55 as a seasonal opener ain’t bad at all! I see you doing 13:55 in six months

Morgan’s stride is wild, the way his feet fly back and tuck so close to his butt on the way forward compared to Nick’s which doesn’t go quite as high on the follow through. Still both great strides, my personal stride is more like Nick’s with the tighter stride.

QUALITY content. This is what the world needs!

It’s nice hearing a seasoned pro struggles with the mental battles after the 2km mark, it’s gruelling knowing you’re still closer to the start than you are the end!

I did my speed training right after watching this, and visualizing your stride, along with feeling the calmness and positivity in your narration helped me feel happy and go fast. Thank you!

and here i am reaching 200 HR while running at 5:50km pace...my lord you are a machine mate!

❤❤❤❤ Your pace is good, bro, and you maintain it throughout the running time. I finished 5 kilometres in 19 minutes.

Sub 15 5k is insane! So quick! I liked you talking about punching aside the demons, imagine what these guys go through for 2hr marathons the same pace but over 8x longer

Absolutely love these style of videos Nick. I want more!
