I have confidence that your parkruns will one day be as quick as your video editing. Fear not. I too had a stinker today and walked away from parkrun in disgust. Lost the mental battle.
Another fab video. You do make us laugh. It’s so tough getting under 18.00 minutes. Im doing 5x1 mile reps to boost my time Im 56 and going for a pb shortly 17.49. Ill be channelling JMills for the last km. Thanks for the great content. Your our go to youtuber now
I had a pretty similar experience to you last week. Ran a really good session in the week 4x(1k,400m) with the kms at around 3:24/km. Then had a 5k race where I blew up after 2k and struggled round to get 17:40. Everything just felt so much harder than it should have. I'm putting it down to just a bad day. Love the vids! Keep them up
Good running as usual! I feel like that is a pretty tough workout to run a few days before race day (in addition to the increased mileage the prior weeks) so I think you have it in the bag with a better taper
Chin up J Mills. A good race and showed the heart to complete it at great pace. Interval training also fails me on race day - going to try a different approach - 6km pb pace on flat treadmill once or twice a week - slowly incrementing it (in gradient/speed) as specific training. Advantage is no rests (to mimic race day) and training of the mental toughness. Intervals may have weakened the mental aspect.
Cheers man, that's a very unique training method, I like it! Yeah, those sweet rests are so good aren't they, hopefully some harder tempo efforts will sort me out.
Amazing how fast so many people are. I am targeting 20 mins and frankly am a long way off it still, but regard myself as fairly fit and sporty, do about 25 miles a week over last couple of months. 17:30 doesn’t look that fast watching these vids, but to me would feel at full gas even for 400m.
Class as usual. I actually think, it’s all in your head, there’s something that holds you back a tad bit compared to the passion prince, because you clearly have the fitness? Lack of passion, perhaps?
Of course it's a race if you want it to be. That's true inclusion. You might find you come down with something in the next few days which will explain the pakrrun disappointment.
Id guess the 3 weeks of higher mileage, have caused some fatigue in your legs, and your taper hasnt been enough to get maximum freshness. Your HR shows you are fitter, but youll need to be race resdy to get the time you want.
I run 80km a week and can just about manage sub 20 at 5k (in carbon plates on a flat tarmac course). How about chess, J Mills? Or D Mills? Maybe I could beat you at chess?? (love the channel of course!).
40 minutes to run a 5k AND play chess. Stop every 250m to make a move. Obviously the faster you run, the more time you have to think of your chess move. Genius idea or gibberish?
Absolute quality. Can't wait for you this channel to blow up you deserve it. Keep at it
Thank you!! I will!

🤣🤣 We go again my friend!
Great content mate keep it up!
Here after Matt gave you a shoutout.
Cheers mate!
Another upload? You are absolutely treating us
loving the consistent content it will pay off!!
Cheers man!

Ah, thank you mate! Wow, I hope I can get anywhere near that pace at your age, hope you smash your PB attempt!
I have been training this spring and completed a 19:30 5k. So I Think this is absolute insane. Well done.
Came from P1 with Matt and Tommy
Nice one mate, that's a great time! Thanks for dropping by!
Love your videos! I was trying to channel my inner D Mills at my parkrun last km yesterday.. 😀
Love it!!
Great quality video as always. So motivating to follow your journey.
Cheers lad

Another great video J.Mills top effort!
Thank you!

Yeah, I think you're probably right. The goods will soon come!
Never mind. I enjoyed the footage anyway. Loved the 'hardest ever mile by a mile' comment near the end as well.
🤣🤣🤣 I didn't realise until playing it back and kept it because it made me laugh haha
Another J Mills vid, absolutely lovely!

Tough day at the office today J.Mills but we all have them. I like the sound of your training tweaks...what can possibly go wrong?
It certainly was, I'll find the sweet spot soon!
Excellent effort. Sometimes it doesn't work out I guess. Interesting about the HR...
Yup, can't always be your day, hopefully it is for D Mills tomorrow!
3 weeks does not a training block make
Focus on the consistent injury-free running here mate, and results will follow. You got this 🎉
Cheers mate, I will do!
Should try using the softs for the last stint
🤣🤣🤣
If D Mills camera shuts off after 10 mins we riot…
He's been informed to change the settings!
@@CrownMyRun but this is D Mills - makes his own rules…

You'll get there! Yeah, it's mad when you see yourself back, thinking you've been gunning it and it looks like a snails pace 🤣🤣
Las Vegas all over again. J Mills can't handle the heat.
It was very humid but not roasting... If England would just be solidly hot for a few months Id be fine 🤣🤣
Nice one J Mills, still shocks me how fast you are running yet you still criticise yourself.
What job do you have?
Cheers mate.
I am a meteorologist!
Well done J.Mills. Loving your work (apart from today’s effort.. 😂)
🤣🤣🤣 I'll redeem myself
Class as usual. I actually think, it’s all in your head, there’s something that holds you back a tad bit compared to the passion prince, because you clearly have the fitness? Lack of passion, perhaps?
Yeah, time to work on it.
The Peep Show of running 😂
🤣🤣
Is D Mills secretly adding lead weights to your shoes?
Yes, that's exactly what he's been doing 🤣🤣
Have you tried doing sessions in a training group? Took a mintue off my 5k this year, since consistently doing quality track session 👌
Considered it but shift work makes it very hard!
How come you don't put the time in? Makes it hard to gauge suspense.
The new software I use went all glitchy when putting the timer I have used before. I'll try and find another one for the future!
@@CrownMyRun Would be good, still really interesting POV videos.
Of course it's a race if you want it to be. That's true inclusion. You might find you come down with something in the next few days which will explain the pakrrun disappointment.
I have had a cold this week but thought it wasn't affecting me too badly. Trying not to make any excuses but probably had a bit of an effect!
Give them more subs yt
Yes please!

I was the year 6 chess champion at junior school... I am terrible though 🤣🤣

@@jsb_running Fantastic idea, not sure it would get the clicks though 🤣
Idea is great, maybe a bit too niche though 😁
Always the fraud never the Dr Tempo
😢😢
Just give up the job. Easy.
🤣🤣 Handing in my notice now
