I Ran a TRACK 10k at a PRO MEET

In This video, I travel out to San Juan Capistrano, CA to race a 10k at "The TEN". It was an incredible trip getting to race in my first track race in a few years, and witness some world class running.

the 10k would be infinitely better as a road race

[@mottesen_runs]

Agreed

[@maggiecuppett525]

Your daughter looks just like you! Absolutely adorable. Great job on the insane outdoor opener!!!

[@ed_gaa6289]

Was cheering you on in the stands, amazing performance!

[@cierabartholomew4058]

Amazing video, as always!

[@samueljackson479]

I look forward to the day I can use “my rust is busty”. Thank you for that gem

[@sobanejaz]

nice bro, you are trying very hard so keep going one day you are going to bang it someday.

[@jordanross634]

You did great. You're brave to jump in a fast meet like that but you are fast enough to be there for sure. So fun watching your journey. You got this!! Btw why didn't Adam join you on the track??

[@mottesen_runs]

Thanks Jordan. It was a lot of fun regardless. I hope to see you back out there soon! Adam was entered, but decided to hold off on racing - wanted some more training time before an outdoor race.

[@tylerottesen2994]

A true inspiration

[@alexkelsey2709]

I was there!!! I wish I saw you I love your videos!

[@savagenoob2832]

Just insane bro. What were your favorite workouts for this training block?

[@mottesen_runs]

The Michigan 10 days before was a good confidence builder. I also really liked 8x800. Those were good track workouts for me recently!

[@endre7508]

Good job

[@Tixfyy]

For me I dread 5-10k’s I look foward to shorter distance lol

[@vibesentertainment7508]

[@notneppo]

[@mottesen_runs]

[@Sjemdjdneje8383]

Bro you look like Ian somerhalde

[@mottesen_runs]

I'll take that, nice

[@hkim9151]

You are a marathoner and went up toe to toe with 10 K pro runners…. Man , you can kill them if you dedicate a few years on this event.

Sir how to cure from it band syndrome please help🥺
Love from Delhi

[@mottesen_runs]

Sorry to hear that, IT band syndrome sucks. I've dealt with IT band syndrome several times. Here are some key points:
-You don't have to quit running altogether, rest alone takes a long time for it to heal. Keep running, but cut back on volume to what you can handle, and hold off on any fast running at first.
-Don't roll it out! It makes it worse.
-You have to strengthen the muscles surrounding the IT band to truly fix the problem, focus on glutes and hips mostly.
-Be patient, it doesn't disappear over night - Unfortunately...
Hope that helps!

@@mottesen_runs ok thank you sir🥰

[@matthewmah3745]

Lack of headband debuff😂. Jk but nice try

[@wixlzp5894]

the 400 is the worst

[@i_is_piano1941]

400 is so much easier than literally any distance longer than it. people exaggerate the pain so much it’s not that bad
