I’m just running for myself, not competitively, but I love your race analyses, it’s very insightful, especially in regards to overcoming mental challenges. As an amateur, I find your fitness and times quite impressive. Thanks for the quality running content!
Ran this on Sunday, managed a PB - 45:06 chip time and 44:15 according to my Garmin (took some corners pretty wide!). Found the course really narrow at parts which given I was middle of the pack was frustrating, but otherwise a great race. Well done on your result!
Great effort as always. I had a bad race 2 weeks ago but got another 10k this evening. I break my race down in to miles with first being slowest then i focus on hitting each mile dead on pace until last 1.2 miles where im all out and see how many people i can overtake. It sort of saves the pain until the end where your mind already knows youre nearly finished.
Well done. Got chatting to you at the finish. I managed to sneak under 34 and was 3rd V40, so I'm so happy with that. Coming back next year fully fit to smash it. All the best for the rest of 2023
Great stuff Nick. Brilliant seeing the course again in your video. Like many, I was head down going flat out and didn't get to appreciate how iconic the route was!!.. I do recall Big Ben was bonging as I went over Waterloo Bridge, which was special. Lots of happy looking people in your club - you're clearly doing a good job! Keep up the great work!
Firstly, congratulations on a top 10 finish and for getting this video out whilst the wounds are still open. Really interesting hearing your take on 3-3-3-1 I like that. That grind section would’ve helped me climb that hill at Trafalgar, Leister square (4-5k in) that’s where my race fell apart and it was a lonely run to the finish line from there. As you’ve summarised so well, there’s lots to take from races like that, it makes training even more motivational and drives you forward for success. For you it’ll come in Berlin, for me Valencia in December. Onwards and upwards my bro. BOOMSHAKALAKA 🎉
Yessss! I like the sound of that! We need to plan our peak for our main goals!! Valencia is always a winner and there’ll be a massive BA presence there!! Smash it 🔥
That was my first central London race and it was tough. those corner and inclines made you question everything! it was pretty humid but the time my pen left the start line. It was lonely at times and. hard not to get in your one head for sure. PB 1 hr 5mins so was happy but had secretly wanted to be closer to sub 60. I have vitality 1000 which seems a similar route in September, so lets see if I am more prepared. my nike vapofly struggled with those turns. We were told its a flat and PB route but it definitely didn't feel flat lol. Well done and thank you for sharing the reality of running with a family, so important.
Well done for the accomplishment! The intro where they made everyone wait for the race took forever I think I was more exhausted then compared to the actual run wish they be more faster next time
Hey Nick, love your content. I follow you on Strava as well. Very inspiring. I’m from India living in the Netherlands. Will be running at Berlin 10k in couple of weeks, would be amazing, if I could say a Hello! 😊
I'm a new subscriber . Really appreciate it. Can you please do a video on how to control breathing while running. Would really appreciate if u could do that.
Great video boss, my first with BA, absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing your belief and passion with us, and also having the vision to create what is one hell of a movement. 💙🏃🏃♀️ #TeamBA
Hello Nick!! I'm following you from Spain!!, could you tell me where the 10k London Asics race starts and ends, since I'm already looking at hotels for next year, or if you recommend that I stay in an area that is close to the start or finish, since I have already signed up for the race!! Let's see if we agree 😃, Greetings from Valencia, Spain 😃
Seen you zip by at the start whilst waiting in the pen Nick fantastic running as always. How did you find the humidity yesterday? I really struggled in the mid part from mile 3 but I’m coming back from injury. Might have got too excited in the beginning hitting 8.05minute miles which is well quick for me. Good indicator though of where I am and what need to work on. Fantastic event though really enjoyed it 👏👏
@@justalilbester same here too Nick 🥵🥵 lots of hard work ahead 100per cent full on now until Dublin in October. Going to go for a 10K PB at Vitality 10,000 in September and Half PB hopefully at the Big Half!! 💪💪🏃🏃 looking forward to what lies ahead and to make big improvements going forward
I'm training for 50 miles world record for next year. My pb 5k is 16.03 minutes. Any tip on how to train to maintain the same pace to the end of the 50 miles? Im optimistic
Great Run! Well done. I have a question for you. I got a pb in the 10k last week running 39.37. My average heart rate was 192 and I'm wondering is this normal?? I'm fully recovered but watching your videos and other runners, your heart rate would only go over 180 in the last mile/kilometre.
Congrats on the PB and sub 40! Where you running with a HR monitor strap so that it’s accurate? It would very well be. Some of us have higher HR’s that others. That is a lot higher than most.
Fantastic run and time especially with so many turns and loops. Definitely not a fast course and you would easy go sub 31 with less turns. I split my 10k races with 2x4k then last 2k
If I am feeling a bit low, your unrelenting optimism always cheers me up. Well done. Great effort! BerlinBerlinBerlin….
Glad to hear! Yessss Berlin it’s going to happen! Must believe 👊🏻
Waiting for this video so eagerly, awesome race. To see Morgan again after your 5k vid is just the icing on the cake 😁 Keep it up!

What a legend 🫶🏻 never goes unnoticed!

Well done Nick! Another great run and great video! Keep em coming Champ! "Lets Goooooo" 🔵👊🏻⚪️
Thanks Gary. A few more big races on route to the big one 🇩🇪 🎯
Great race, great video, well done! Glad to see you've got to 10k subscribers. Well deserved!
"The last kilometer never counts" has become a mantra of mine, thanks Nick!
I thought I saw you setting off whilst I was on my way to the start! Great running, I got a pb, sub 50 😎
Beautiful!! Congrats on the PB and sub 50!!

I found your channel through you last video. Really enjoying your content, especially your thoughts during the race.
Another great video! Really sorry for your loss during the week.
Thanks you 🙏🏻 so grateful to running for helping with these sorts of things.

Great effort! Great effort indeed! I really like how you ran a sub 32 10k and was still filming so great job!👏🏽
I’m targeting on 10k race, so this kind of video helps me a lot 🙌
Pleasure! Glad you found it useful and good luck for your 10K!
Well done for the accomplishment! The intro where they made everyone wait for the race took forever I think I was more exhausted then compared to the actual run wish they be more faster next time
It started bang on half past?

Will be running at Berlin 10k in couple of weeks, would be amazing, if I could say a Hello! 😊
I’ve just realised something here. The lady who came seventh is actually a friend of mine we both race in the same city . She’s unbelievablely quick
good job Morgan, point for team light and young, leaving the heavy old people in the dust :P
So well done, Nick! Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Great that you honoured Nelson Mandela with Mandela Day coming up on 18th July! All the best always
Ja maannn! Het bietjie rof gelyk daar!😂🎉
Too many braai’s I tell ya!! Or not enough 😉
5:24 It was my voice😃 I was so glad to see you!!
Your amazing Nick can't wait for Berlin....well done.. 👍🏻👍🏻😁x
Another awesome race! ❤
I'm a new subscriber . Really appreciate it. Can you please do a video on how to control breathing while running. Would really appreciate if u could do that.
Well done Nick🇿🇦
Just ran a race where we did 3 laps of 3,3k, and it was just as you said: warmup (not too fast!), grind and empty the tank.
I love how you always say “the last km never counts” 😂 I’m always dying by that point.
I love you man
Excellent running. U-turns are tough.
Well done mate.🥳
31:42 wow amazing time congrats. I always through I was fast running 37:50 looool
Congrats and boomshakalaka 😅
Never seen those streets soo quiet !! Big ups London
Great video boss, my first with BA, absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing your belief and passion with us, and also having the vision to create what is one hell of a movement. 💙🏃🏃♀️ #TeamBA
Let’s GO
Boom Shakalaka!! Full sends only 👊🏻
Having a sharp U Turn in a race like this has to take loads of time and energy off you.

Always work to be done and room for improvement 👊🏻 let’s go get it!

Great video Nick! What part of Birmingham are you from?
Cheers mate. Johannesburg 🤣
London is such a beautiful city. Flags ad nauseam.
Well done - I got a PB 49.31. What you think of the adidas adizero pro 3?
Still fantastic time nick 31minuites people can only dream of those times
Great Run! Well done. I have a question for you. I got a pb in the 10k last week running 39.37. My average heart rate was 192 and I'm wondering is this normal??
I'm fully recovered but watching your videos and other runners, your heart rate would only go over 180 in the last mile/kilometre.

BOOM SHAKALAKA!
Should come to SA and do ABSA RYC Cape Town 10k😅there are no uturns
What accent is that there that you are surpressing
You said 3kilometer warm up but you just burn yourself and your chance of sub31 by going too fast first 3-4 km :D
HHAHHAHA
You're training for a marathon, a 10k is much shorter ... stick with the program
whats with the pride flag everywhere? seems like a cult
Great content but accent Is a bit too unappealing to my ears.
