I would have loved to have given you the usual POV for this. Part of the final push was thinking that I had an audience, so I was devastated to see “No Files” on the camera storage. Hopefully I still captured some of the excitement here! ❤
Congratulations on the first sub-20 parkrun! Also, congratulations on this lovely video. I can only imagine how frustrated you were when you discovered the footage of the event was missing, but the retrospective storytelling and after the event footage probably made this a more engaging video than a standard POV video. Well done on both counts!
I call it the agonal breathing stretch, when you're dragging yourself through what feels like treacle for the final 200m and all you can hear is the raspy croaks and tormented groans of the guys around you suffering in that same zone lol.
Awesome work dude, after last week, that is so well earned and I can only imagine the frustration when it wasn’t on camera. The Go 3/3s has some weird freezing thing it does with the old firmware- double check you have the latest one as that fixed it, I too found out the hard way! If you’re ever down Sussex way let’s get a parkrun or race in together!
My camera has been shouting about an update but saying it doesn’t have enough battery to actually do it, despite being fully charged! I’ll continue to try and update. Cheers!!
Great video and huge congrats. What a great way to end the year, well done! The same happened to me with my sub 20 attempt. Watch and Strava had me at 20 dead. I had to wait until the afternoon for the official result 😂 Plan is to try and run sub 20 more consistently next year.
Nice one!! But you know the saying: 'if its not on youtube it never happened' !!. It's been a journey getting to sub-20 - many congratulations on getting here. (Hopefully, I'll be there too soon)
What a gutter mate, such a shame you didn’t have any footage! Either way, what a chuffing result!! Well done that mate, perseverance at its best! Sub 20 club!! 👏👏👏
It's wild. I suppose I pressed the record button and then immediately stopped it before it could write even 1 second of footage...? Or it just hiccupped? I have no idea what happened. Can't really look at the recording light while it's on my head, so a beep every 30/60 seconds of recording would be a nice feature.
I know what you mean about the worlds longest wait for the email! Was so happy for you🎉, and had no idea how to feel for myself, the wait for the time amplified… everything. You were definitely recording in the funnel, I remember the light being on as we were talking oxygen deprived gibberish. The start would have been nice to watch back though, complete chaos 😂
I've had a lot of your same heart rate issues in the past, getting to the low 200s in some races. I just ended up having runner's asthma without knowing it. Checking with your doctor and seeing if you can get an inhaler isn't a bad idea. Lowered my race heart rate from 190s to 150s.
Hahaha 🤣 That does not sound very responsible! I wore my usual chest strap, which has proven accurate - as far as I know - but there’s certainly room for error at over 3 beats per second… All I know is that I was seeing black dots!
Good lad. I like your perseverance. Now get some intervals and tempos in watch how fast you drift to the sub 19. I remember going life and death for the sub 20 and as soon as I got it I did it every time lol which probably shows I wasn't putting the effort in before.
As a youtuber does it really count if its not recorded? 👀. Only joking fella well done. Make sure you enjoy hitting your goal and not just switch to whats next.
I know, right. I had to remind myself that I’m a runner first, UA-cam creator second. But yes, very frustrating! And cheers! I don’t think I’ll be doing another all-out 5K until spring marathon training is done/taper, so I’ll celebrate 19:57 for a little while!

Thanks so much!
Absolutely incredible 🎉🎉 amazing work buddy 🎉

Yessss!!! Absolutely incredible achievement ⭐🎯 A brilliant way to end the year 🙌 SO deserved
Cheers, Dean! ❤️

I got my first sub 20 in August so I know how it feels 😛 Well done 👏👏👏
Ahh, fantastic! Seeing the time starting with a “1” gave me a real buzz ❤️
Brilliant effort mate! And your storytelling was more than good enough to make up for the lost footage so it still made a great video too.
That means a lot! Tried to make lemonade out of lemons, haha 🤷
Oh well. Looks like you have to do it again next week ! No seriously well done Mack. We could all see how much you wanted that.
@@stevierunner I’ll make sure I capture sub 19:30… in a few years, haha… Not sure I want to dig that deep again! Cheers!!
I can confirm ive saw it on Strava so it did happen 😂...well done and what a way to end the year 🎉🎉
Haha, thanks!
Sounds like you were in zone 10 for that final km 😂🥵🥵🥵
Incredible perseverance 💪💪
I feel like part of my soul now lives on Worcester Pitchcroft Parkrun's fifth KM.
Cheers!!

Thanks, James! It was good to see you that morning!
Superb Mack! What a great way to finish the year 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks!
1st time watching your channel well done breaking 20 bring on sub 19.
Cheers, Steven!
Big congrats, you destroyed that last km. well done and all the best for 2025💪🏻
@@drdesign4890 Thanks so much! Have a Happy New Year!
Congrats, it's a big milestone! Sounds like the 6 days of no running may have worked, tapers are underrated!
Thank you ❤️
Great video and huge congrats. What a great way to end the year, well done!
The same happened to me with my sub 20 attempt. Watch and Strava had me at 20 dead. I had to wait until the afternoon for the official result 😂
Plan is to try and run sub 20 more consistently next year.
I just kept refreshing the Parkrun result page over and over. Nightmare haha 😂
Here’s to chipping away more seconds in 2025!
Loved the vid, congrats! Subbed from a fellow tall runner.
Haha, cheers!
Nice one!! But you know the saying: 'if its not on youtube it never happened' !!. It's been a journey getting to sub-20 - many congratulations on getting here. (Hopefully, I'll be there too soon)
Cheers, Mat! I'm sure you'll keep on chipping away at it!
How far off are you mate? I was at a 20:30 ish plateau for months but as soon as I added tempos and intervals, I went to 19:14 in like two weeks.
What a gutter mate, such a shame you didn’t have any footage! Either way, what a chuffing result!! Well done that mate, perseverance at its best! Sub 20 club!! 👏👏👏

I was thinking of you having to wait. Congrats on the PB, though! Arbitrary number goals aside, 19:00 is huge!
Very annoying about the camera 🤷
@ yes I’m much happier now a couple of days have passed.
Privileged and proud to be doing this, everyone ahead of me on Saturday was younger than me 💪

Massive congratulations 🎉 I don't know how you found that gear in the last km. Well deserved!
Thank you!
Fabulous. ❤❤❤
@@AprilStevenson-u9n ❤️
199 is the highest I've ever seen. You need to do a video where you try to get to 200. Maybe up that long hill in Malvern?
Hahaha 🤣 That does not sound very responsible!

Mack’s new PIN: 1957
Tattooed on his bum cheek too.
Subbed, i have my own sub20 attemp in 3 weeks. Current pb 21:09.
@@LiftNrun8 Ooft, go and smash it! 💪
Where are you doing it mate?

@Mack.Tracks Personally I'm terrible for not appreciating the moment. I feel nothing at the end of races. 5k I just think why do I do it. 😆
