    "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.

    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 😂😂

    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.

When things get tough in a race it sometimes feels like there are two voices speaking to you, one saying "this is too hard", the other saying "dont give up". In many ways its just as important I think to train your mind as it is your body. Thankyou for sharing these insights into the psychological aspects of running.

    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.

      Not sure which is which, but #4 seems to be overstriding and is far above 180 steps per minute, the idea cadence. I bet he'd shave off even more time if he got closer to this ideal cadence. Also, extremely impressive!

    Running is such a great sport. Runners of all levels get to compete together. No other sport lets you do that. Well done everyone. Great video thank you.

    Love the footage really showing both lead runners from great angles. I E got to say Nick, comparing strides, Morgan’s does look nicer (it is pro like) and almost surprising he didn’t win. Top running Nick to take the win. Love the commentary too, really helps us other runners to hear your state of mind to compare to our own in the same scenario

    Always cool seeing you pass regular runners at the park. Puts into perspective how fast your pace is.

    Jesus. Always puts me in awe of people like yourself seeing how you can run at that pace and so consistent. Im aiming to run a sub 25 on my next run but finding running consistently under 5 mins such a big challenge, especially when i get caught up in the moment of the first 2kms.

    Amazed by Morgans elegant stride but couldn't help but think about how much effort he was using to keep the stride so long and the cadence comparably low. A little fine tune and I think he could've pushed you even further! Herculean effort, Nick.

    Wish I could run with these type of strides/body mechanics. Very nice

    That was such a well timed pressured overtake.
    You can tell the other guy morgan was really using the bounce off his shoes. I tend to do that when im getting tired and cadence slows.
    Great time and a beast of an effort.

    Oh man! I did a Battersea 5km recently (we saw you actually! running the opposite direction), missed out on my target (sub 18'30"), and those thoughts totally recognisable and for sure held me back. I need to go back and use these tips for sure. The suffering! So true.

    5km in 15 mins is insane! I could never do that. And then i think about kipchoge, who is running at that pace for 2 hours 🤯

    I was going to comment and say that lad Morgan has got a wicked stride on him..... But appears I'm late to the party. Good tekkers Morgan

    Got recommended your video and loved the commentary! Good intervals for comments, not overwhelming or dry. I'm your same size and weight, but take twice the time for a 5k! 6:40 is good inspiration to keep pushing

    nick youre a beast, thats no discussion. true inspiration, i noticed your cadence must be higher than morgans by quite a bit.

      Thanks mate! Yeah most certainly! His stride length is quite a bit bigger.

    The feeling you get after a good run beats any pain you have during.
