Failing my 10.000m

- Had big ambitions for this 10.000m. Was expecting to run sub28:20, but failed big time... Hungry for a second 10.000m very soon.

Appreciate you sharing this Kristian. It just goes to show how much of a winner you are.
....can't emphasise enough how reassuring it is to know that even for you not everything goes perfect the first time. Thanks for sharing all aspects of your training/competitions and good luck next time :)
Respect Kristian; you put it all on the line - great to see such authenticity and transparancy. Fantastic entertainment - this is the best Sports Vlog.
Kudos for posting this Kristian, As a coach, I have got to tell you how I see it:
- You need to focus a lot more on run-tapering. You can get away with it for shorter distances, but anything beyond 5k the load in the last few days has to be quite low, especially if you dont taper the bike and the other stuff. In a good taper the last hard session for a 10k is normally some 10/14 days before the race; after that you are mostly managing your legs;
-I think your last track session over the weekend (2000/1000 & 400s) was a mistake, especially the 1k reps done at I guess your 5k effort. Too close to the race and the recoveries way too short. I think you lost an awful amount of leg tension after that
-Looking at your Strava that shakeout on race day was probably too long and too slow
-Your cramping could have had something to do with your hydration plan before the race (a sports drink with electrolyte is normally a better bet before the race)
-Also it could have had something to do with that shoe on the track. Too soft, not too good at cornering and probably not designed to run at that pace in the first place (you can get better grip with other flats if you dont want to use spikes. Some of the long distance spikes on the markets are basically road flats with pins for better traction).
I think you will most certainly run under 28'20" with a good solid plan in the run-up to it. The bottom line is for a 10000 you need to be relatively rested to squeeze the max out of it. Notice also how Moen got beaten a couple of weeks after his record in a relatively slow time for him. Sorry to have been brutally honest with you.
He’s not a runner, he’s not going to majorly alter his regimen just to win some random local 10k. Cramps and hydration/electrolytes is not science, most likely just exhaustion. Shoes wise I don’t think it really matters that much tbh.
@@TheSteinbitt Cramps and electrolytes/hydration are 100% science...
@@TheSteinbitt pls dont answer stuff like that if you dont rly have a clue about what you are talking...
barebare
He is still a sub 14 5k “non-runner”. Maybe you are correct about not wanting to majorly alter his regime to win a local race, but I wouldn’t say this is a local race by any means. If he wants to set a pr, he should do these things
Amazing time anyway!
322aareyn No one knows why we get cramps, most likely heat and exhaustion/glucose depletion. Taking in salts of electrolytes won’t help in the healthy as we are already in homeostasis. In the severely ill there might be a benefit fx kidney disease. Hydration also doesn’t matter, as you don’t get severely dehydrated in such a short race. Of course, the supplement industry would like this pseudoscience to continue, and I see there are lots of science illiterate people in videos such as these.
Thanks for sharing, in a strange way it's motivational to see that things go wrong even with the very best and well trained athletes. Best of luck with hitting your goals over the next couple of weeks and looking forward to see you do it!
Well done dude, you are still a beast, and will achieve your wanted time next time.!!
Onya mate, cheering for you. You're a huge motivation, no matter how you do.
Thanks for posting. Can’t wait to see the next video of how you recover, rebound and smash the 10k
Much respect for sharing this, it’s good to know you are human too. I bet you will meet your goals at the next race.
Sharing good and bad experience show how strength you are in you head. You can be proud of what you have accomplished that day ! Big up from Belgium
Thank you sir for posting this video..... I was waiting to see ur race but it was not available here.....well I know how it feels after having such situation during competition but then also u were struggling and stretching up ur legs on the track to run more and focus on the race...... And seriously that thing is very rare to see .....legendary personalities like u can only manage tough situations + in this competition some were runners only but u r triathlon only athletes which are known as Ironman ..... So Thank you sir for keep motivating us.... 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏊🏻♂️🚵🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️✨✨
Great attempt Kristian, good luck on your next try.
On to the next one. Disappointing, but everybody has races likes that. You will figure it out with your coach and hopefully will be stronger next time. I like how your goals are super-difficult, yet still attainable. Also thanks for sharing your thoughts on races that went wrong. They present the best learning opportunities.
The times for a local track race was pretty darn good!!! Great effort! You will get it :)
Hehe world leading for the first two guys this year for 10.000m 😅
Man I know it is late for this video in particular but thanks for sharing like this... To have this level of access coming from this level of athlete, I can only say thank you : )
Greetings from Uruguay!!!
Kristian, thanks for posting this - few are brave or mature to show both the ups and downs of racing. These slightly longer races may require a bit more of a taper before you go 'full bore' for a target 10k time. I see no failure - only racing lessons. Better to learn them while you are still relatively young. I've been running and racing for just under 47 years, started to really figure it out when I was about 40, by then it was a little too late to gain the maximum benefit of my experiences. I look forward to watching your next race!
I feel for you - after putting in so much effort recently it must be infuriating for this to happen. Hopefully the anger will carry you to even greater heights when you attempt the 10,000 in the next two weeks 😉. Really love the channel; you’re a humble champion and seem like an allround good guy - keep it up 🙌
Head up! Always one more try and finally you will get where you want to.
Sorry things didn’t go well, keep your head up and keep training, it will come!
Great video! As we are saying in our country: Not everyday is a Saturday. You will crush it next time!
What a pity Kristian! Good luck in yout next try!
We all fail, but get up and keep up the training!! We all will support you!! Keep it up!!!
It's not a failure Blu. It's an experience and a lesson you can learn from.
You're a good athlete and a top bloke.
It will be better next time! Thanks for the great content once again! It is like being part of the team ;)
Next race is your best race, mate - keep pushing.
That’s life: sometimes s... happen. But as you’re saying the show must go on! 💪
Your are the Boss!! 💪⚡You will smash next race.
Hope you find a new race Kristian! Starkt kämpat! :)
running like Sanders hahaha. Don't worry Blu you need way more cramps to get to that point
Benja Ovalle or 42km nor 10km
Gracias x compartir tus videos Campeón!!
Soy tu fans 🇦🇷Arg
Quiet kristian, there will be better races was a bad day, but there will always be better races ! Encourage!
Gustav looks like the small brother of lionel sanders with his shaved head and headband :D. Great Video
Haha
I would LOVE to be embarrassed like that! Keep up the great work!
Happens to the best mate. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of opportunities. You'll get it!
you'll get it next time champ!
Don't be too hard on yourself Kristian.... you're not far away... and looked comfortable in the first 5k...
A few "fast" efforts will get you there... :)
Bank the frustration for Tokyo x Thanks for sharing
Its not failing.... no... it's inspiration.... you did your best... it can only benefit you to achieve continuous improvement! Thx 4 super motivation Greetings Albertus
Following you all way from South Africa...here is what I always say when athletes have done all the "right" preparations and it did not go their way..."no athlete go out looking to have a bad race...some-times a bad race will find you"....and every-one has to have a bad race some-where...rather have it in a none-important race than in an important race....
He is only sometimes a human, in normal days a beast. But great respect, you show also this one
Shit happens, appreciate your honesty.
Must be tough as looked in great shape.
Get fit and rested and best of luck when go again Kristian.
What do your guys do for a warmup ?
8k building up
Next time💪🏽
The good the bad the ugly! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing ! But when you are running on track choose better shoes. Yeah Nike alphafly are "magic" shoes but they are very very high for 25 laps and easy you can receive injury in the ankle on the turns.
Interesting to say you felt like you were running on one leg at the end. Although it was obvious you were slowing & having some kind of issue your running form was still perfect just at a slower cadence.
Dang you ran against Sondre Moen?!
Hello, Kristian! I am from Latvia, I watched with interest your video 10,000 m challenge. The goal you set was very high. For example, the Latvian record in the 10,000 m run in the stadium is 28: 25.8 and has not been beaten since 1973. Could you please tell me what is your Vo2 max? Thank you and good luck in your career!
I have like 93 or 92 Avg for 2min few weeks ago( measured on the bike ). Think the highest I have done on the run is like 88.
At least you succeded getting 10.000 subs :)
Next time!!
Why do you run in that gear? Why not sleeveless t-shirts and shorts?
Yea a shitty result is what builds a great athlete it teaches you to deal with the shock if a race is hoing badly.
Also it is very hard mentally to run track if you not used to it,I took a while to get used to it mentally when you think oh gosh ive still got 12 laps or whatever.
Crazy fast!! 14:15 for 5k..... Dayam!! what was your 8k? Great "failed" run...
14:15 + 5:44 first 7k. Last K wasn’t good
@@kristian.blummenfelt You were running Sondre... a 2:05 marathoner. That's insane!!
Could you share the stryd PowerCenter link?
Don’t have it. Only connect to garmin
GREAT Performance guys. Kristian, I gave you 28:28. In the best case. My top 10k time is still.... 38 minutes !
Was it IT Band Injury?
Did you say you were running like Lionel Sanders? lol.....good one...you’ll get it next time ...:)
What happened to Casper, did he run?
Stomach issues.
It looks like it was pretty windy, and Moen did a worse time than the one you were looking for. So, maybe the wind was too much, considering you had to run 25 times with headwind.
Is was a bit windy, but I had 2-4 guys in front of me the whole run so I can’t complain on that. Sondre did most of the work in front after 5k.
Did Norway go back to, “normal”, recently?
Hi Kristian,I never tried red bull 1h before race because it may cause stomachace ?what you think is it good also before and doesn't give any problem ?Thanks for sharing the video 🔝🚀💪
Think nutrition wise everything went fine. Think I just need to beat up my quads more in training before next race.
Perfect race situation for a good time. Maybe you need to fine tune your training slightly to get your body a bit more relaxed at 28min 10k pace....I'm sure you'll crack it!
Think the training load building into the race race perfect. Think I just need more K’s at hard tarmac at higher pace to put some pressure on my quads before next race
@@kristian.blummenfelt Yes, I agree. You need to get your body accustomed to running at those places. Maybe to take some pressure off you might want to do a couple of low key races to ease yourself into track racing. Then look for something/s more competitive with an objective in mind....
Anyone who knows what the brand of the sock is he wear?
- thank you?
Incyclence
Incylence. Have my own collection with them ,Norboys. Check it out 👊🏻
Too much caffeine, too little precice hydration? or just too hard training and stress? Thank you for posting these videos too, im sure not one athlete can have just perfect days the whole season, never to say the whole career (Y) own failures at some workotus feel now more human rather than too humbling :)
Think my build up was perfect ( loading and rested/ hydrated). Think I just need more fast K’s on hard tarmac to beat up my quads in training
@@kristian.blummenfelt yeah it could be, downhill fast running would be good for building resilience to eccentric load for quads 👌💪
Why not use spikes for a 10k on track? Unless you wanna save the legs maybe?
Because I’m not prioritising to run fast on track enough. So I don’t bother. Haven’t used spikes since 2012, so it’s risky to put on now for a race
10.000m on a track is brutal, but it's just a question of time until sub-28:20!
It’s a question of two weeks 😉
29 45
it's never a straight line to get where you want to go...
I dont see the failure part. You fought like a lion and it didnt work this time. Probably more useful than winning every time! And I would do a lot to be compared to Lionel, be proud of it :-) Thx for the vid
gengar678 It‘s 13:32
Se ve pesado
Se trono
Reminiscent of Pre. Beast probably has more than 10kilos on those skinny runners.
That's the same pacer who paced henrik for his WL 5k the other day
Sondre Buraas
Sindre buraas 👍 perfect pacing from the guys up front.
@@kristian.blummenfelt sindre, yes, yes ofc...
I thought your body weight is little bit higher ! what was the body weight before your race ?"
Exactly....You can see he has no track speed
you will get it mate.. fuck you`re fast!!! well done anyways
Disappointed for you, i hope you will set a fast time soon!
Did he say felt like he was running like sanders lmao
Running like Senders 🤣🤣🤣 with one leg.
Imagine how strong Sanders would be if he run with both legs
This reveals that all posting time trials doesn't translate to real race
It wasn’t a fail it was an attempt
RACE TRACK surface is soft and springy itself.Very bad choise to choose those runners for race track.They are designed to hit the tarmac and not track surface..Your legs must be screaming when taking the turns ond the oval..
Lighter weight trumps power in endurance which is why you’ll always be under suspicion.
Not always. Need an engine to move you forward to. Another attempt in two weeks
Sorry, sub 28 requires smooth running
Will learn how to run smooth in two weeks then 👍
Oooohhhhhhh! What a surprise!?!!?!? Keep on coming with fake challenges ... Pandemic is serious! #diamonleagueiscoming
What do you mean?
@@kristian.blummenfelt I mean that is ridiculous the amount of shit that thriathletes like you and Richard Murray haver been posting on UA-cam in the last months with non real and fake PB challenges and performances about road racing. Diamond League on August for you and Murray right? Shame on you! #gazelles
@@ramalheira What the heck are you talking about???
Nike made bad shoes dont try this garbage in the track
