Nice work! I ran my first 10k in March, after starting to run later in life. Did it in 1hr13, and since then I'm almost under 1hr. Did my first half marathon last week, at 2hr33. Was proud just to finish, though it's exciting to be setting up a bunch of times at distances I've never run before, so that I have targets to aim for to beat next time. There's a 10k I might join next month, and another half marathon in September, I'm hoping to beat my times in both events.
Great. Your first 10k time was the same as mine, but until now, 7 months and 4 10k race later, I still cant break 1 hour mark. Hoping to do it in the next race.
@@iqbal4625 thanks! I've got another 10k on Friday, though I doubt I'll be under 1 hour there. I'm only close to under 1 hour in trainings on mostly flat ground, organised races tend to mix it up more with some gradients. Keep going though, I'm sure you'll get it.
Göran, you have been an inspiration to me in the last couple years. I am an old, fat American, but I have been running for the last 12 years. I started running trails a couple years ago and just completed my first 50k trail race. I am not fast but I have been running every day for the last 500 days. This video makes me want to focus on my health and speed so that i can become a better runner overall and a more competitive ultra runner in the future. Keep up the great content!
I love this kind of footage, it’s really unique and it shows how you manage the race, really good job ! Also, if you are in the worst shape of your life scoring an almost 35min for a 10K, i think that a sub 33 will be a better objective for your next one :))
congratulations on your pr. your content is really great. i've been running for a bit less than a year and i find your channel super entertaining because it focuses on a lot of the things that make it all fun for me. keep it up and good luck to you and your family!
Nicely done! 10km races are great! I like that I don't need a long training break after finishing unlike a harder marathon race that requires a proper recovery period.
Congrats. For me 10k was my first racing distance when I was a young student because back then I was focusing on Judo and just joined our local short races for the fun for it, because I could run the 10k with barely any running training whatsoever. I don't recommend that but I was fit from martial arts and young so body could take some abuse. For longer distances you need to train for. And I'm still proud of my 47 min time back then, which would be probably hard to beat for me now even though I started running regularly to get back into shape which I sadly lost a bit. However I can tackle much longer distances, have less injuries and more fun while running now. Will never be at your level but I don't really have a running background and now I'm just happy to stay fit and injury free. The local races that I joined seemed bigger than your race, with several hundreds to two thousand participants, so the fun was in that many non-athletes joined just to have fun and experience something together, people on the street were cheering you on and so on.
Bra jobbet Göran, kjenner følelsen med 10k, mye skog og fjell-løp tidligere, men har begynt å forsøke å komme under 40 min i det siste og det er brutalt.
1st year my kids went to the daycare, I was sick every 2 or 3 weeks. It really took a toll on me mentally. Now the twins are 2 years old and I’m enjoying my sports like prior to being a parent. You’ll be back in shape my friend.
Awesome effort, negative split is the way! Pulling out 3 minute pace on that last km was pretty impressive - you've absolutely got sub-35! I find that 6-8km is where it gets really tough, at 8km you're nearly home and, if you didn't go out too fast, you're going to put in your two fastest kms. I started running October '21 and have a goal of getting sub-40 towards the end of the year, I have an ultra trail (55km) and Half to do before then though. For now my best is 43:51... not too slow for a 50-something!
nice, excellent coverage. Love your videos. Only problem is today's an easy run... Nothing like being motivated to run fast when your suppose to run slow :)
I'm not fast as you of course but I love running on asphalt. Love to move my boundaries and set my best times. I guess we are all different and like different stuff. Great video and great run. Would like to hit that time like yours someday.
Hi Goran, I really love your videos and thank you for sharing from your experience! I was wondering what you use to display live pace and location on the map? this feature is cool!
Thanks for another great video. And congrats on the great time. What do you recommend on improving your speed most efficient? For example trainingblocks with specific training plan of for example 10 weeks or consistancy over the whole year.
Years since I've done a race like this, and as like you someone who now runs off-road, it's intriguing to hear the (almost like-minded) thoughts of someone who did it the other way round (even if yours is a one-off) to me.
Running on flat asphalt is very comforting and relaxing for the mind. You dont have to watch your every step as you would have to on a trail. You just set a comfortable enough pace and then just switch your mind to something comlpetely detached from running.
Brilliant stuff, first time seeing this kind of running footage, Can you talk about how you recorded this ? I am assuming GoPro ? Where and how was it attached?
I’m actually a decent runner, and I’ve done a 37:09 10k and a 1:23:53 half marathon not so long ago (both in April 2020). But all throughout my adult years I’ve been overweight, and sometimes very overweight/obese. In mid august 2019 I peaked at 1.76 m and 99.7 kilos, with a BMI of 32.2. In December the same year I was 71 kg after extremely intense training and diet. I’ve done that a couple of times before, but that was the last time (so far). My point is that I’ve noticed how much weight play into running times. Ever since my PR in April 2020 I’ve been running regularly every week 3-6 times, sometimes with additional training as well. However, since I haven’t been watching my diet too much, and I tend to gain weight if I don’t, I am now at 85-86 kg, 15 kg more than when I did my PR. And my GOD that is a huge difference. Which I honestly think seems really unfair sometimes, as thin people usually are thin without trying. They just don’t have the same appetite. Either way, I’m nearing a point where I’ll probably start a new diet, this time reaching the 60’s in kilos. Maybe then I’ll be able to run a sub 35 min 10K as well. As always, content is great on the channel!
I really love running on the road, I also really love trail running and fell running. For me road running is about predictability, able to keep consistent paces and testing myself, building my fitness as structured running is easier. Off road is more childlike, about having fun in the woods and countryside. Longer slower days, some snacks, trying to pace the hills so I don't have to stop and can let fly on the way back down.
First of all, congratulations on your run. Secondly, could you help me on how to do these type of videos. I'd love to record my runs this way to share it with my family
Nice Göran, very inspiring. Would have been interesting to see what you would have done before the children came. As Gunder Hägg said: The roads are for the audience and the forest is for the runner!
About worst shape: from time perspective I always notice, that my "worst shape" periods are actually the better one than currents :D so it's never so bad, it could get worse! :) amazing achievement, Goran!
I'm a little annoyed that my 10k PR is en route of a half marathon and this awesome race makes me want to run a fast 10k to break my record. Keep up the good work!!
These results are normal because you don't use track trainning as usual. Some orienteers in Brazil have the same problem, they are successfull in the forest, but not good at street races. My pace at street was quite good, because I had track trainning twice a week. My last 10km race, in 2005 when I compete in Jukoka Relay, I finished 32:56, some seconds behind the first women, but she was a panamerican marathon champion (Marcia Narloch). I run the 13km course of first leg in Jukola in a pace of 7min/km, the best for me in Finland.
A very good time. I have run distances up to 50 K. Trying to PB 10 K is still the most concentrated pain in my opinion, and the distance I fear the most besides Marathon.
I'm absolutely not an expert, but I don't think you should've been worried in any way about running 3:33 or 3:31 during the first kilometers. If you're capable of running a 35min 10k at all, you should be able to compensate for those couple of seconds in the last kilometers. Trying to run a small negative split is probably the best possible way to achieve a goal when you're not sure if you're capable of it. If you run a positive split and it turns out you don't have anything left for the last kilometers, that's when you would really lose time I think. Great job btw! I wouldn't come anywhere near 35min.
I prefer road running over trails because I can push myself to a more difficult space not just physically but mentally. If you can race fast on a straight piece of road you can be sure that you'll race fast when you enjoy the environment
Well done on the sub 35 attempt. In answer to your question about why anyone would choose to run flat road races, it's the challenge of nailing relentless splits and leaving nothing out there in the end.
When u run with friends do u run at your own pace finish whenever and meet up at the end? Or do u decide a pace and just hold that throughout? Cause I’ve ran 2, 10ks so far with some friends, and I’m about to do another one tomorrow. And every time so far most likely tomorrow aswell I’ve just ran at their pace, which is nice and all it’s just I’m curious how I’d do if I ran at my own pace. But I don’t wanna leave them, cause I feel like an a-hole doin so. Like we signed up together so shouldn’t we run together then? I’m a bit torn on this, cause I wanna run with someone, but I’d like to push myself aswell. Any thoughts or tips for a new runner?
If you just run for the fun of it and want to run it together with your friends that’s of course fine. But most people who run races with others run them self in their own pace during the race then hang out before and after. When I race I race 😊
Do you monitor your heart rate during your run? I’m trying a couch to 5k program and when I monitor my heart rate, I get worried my heart rate is getting too high.
How can I decrease my times ? I run 10k in 52-53 mins, but looking at you, damn I’m kinda slow. I also lift weights and incorporate running, mostly for cardiovascular benefits and zone 2, my best is 4:21mins/km, but usually I am at somewhere between 4:50-5:30mins/km. Your channel brings me joy and calmness when I watch your videos.
I do not race and i am more into trail and mountain running... I am impressed that you (and a lot of the racers) can increase their pace tiwards the finish line. It sounds a bit like the average pace was too low and not an all out effort if there is this energy left? On the other hand, just impressive... For the mental challenge, i somwtimes run a 5k allout effort on a track and i usually cant hold my pace 😅 And even a 5k on a 400m track is soo boring. But the mental challenge is good. Focusing in breathing and footwork just to forget about this biring "going around and around". For the worst shape of your life that is an awesome time, i belive. But you were an elite runner and you probably know that a PB om 10k a couple of yeara ago would have given yku another time... ;-)
Nordic people are really awesome, my best 10k is 1h11m. I'm asian, 172 cm tall with 65 kg weight. Thanks for sharing this video, I'm motivated in cringe ways, haha.
It’s a great time and well done but why do people have to put disclaimers in every achievement ‘worst shape of my life’, not so much you but always see on Strava people PB a 10km, or come second in a race of thousands, and then negative comments about how they could do better or what went wrong
Incredible last kilometre 👏
Thanks! 😁

Still very fast! I just started running this year and did my first 10k race last week in 52 minutes.
Thanks, ok that’s also impressive! Congrats on getting into running 😊
insanely impressive grit to finish that strongly, massively cool! Such an inspiration for the next time I'm feeling knackered out on the road.
Great job on the 10k race! I love how you shared your experience and told the story here!

Great run man. I really enjoy this channel.

Amazing run !! Keep the pace and I can see you reaching within 35 soon 👏👏
Fantastic run, I hope to see longer distance running in the future!
Thanks, yeah might do some ultra distances again in the future 😊
Nice finish!!! 👏👏👏 Fun to watch 👍👍
Brilliant running,well done 😮
Love you videos man, keep em coming!
Thanks!
Very nice to be able to join you on this race. Loved seeing you push hard the last kilometre and finish so strong!

Good race! Congrats!😊
Thanks!
Great stuff...I would have loved to also see your heart rate throughout the race!
It's nice to see how trail/mountain running translates to flat speed. Great time ! 🙌
Congrats !
Your last K was insane !! 😯
All your runs have such beautiful scenery
Awesome Job! You inspired me to run and push my limits! I can't believe I am a runner now...
Thanks, that’s so cool to hear, congrats on getting into running 😁

Could you please upload a raw footage video for this! I want to challenge myself on the treadmill while running with you.
I like that you also try something different from time to time even if it's a "boring" road race :)

For someone who needs more for 5K this is kind of insane how fast some others are able to run...
you are forgetting the crowds that normally support runners on city road 10k races, they are much bigger than trail crowds.

The reasons for flat 10k is the speed you can hold. Good numbers is fun in itself.
