@@deansummerton2577 thanks Dean 😄😄 One of those days where you go for broke, expect to loose, but win 😄 couldn't have been better. See you at the GNR this year ?
Great Vlog of a wonderful day. Lovely to meet you and well done to yourself and Mrs RTP on the big 10k pbs. We'll be there next year as it's the England Masters competition race.
@@PoetWithPace yeah thanks Donato, please to meet you 😃😃 you didn't do too bad at all, kept seeing you at the turn around points. Might be harder to find you at the GNR, but I'll keep my eyes peeled 🧐
That was really, really good overall performance - I want to have the same result in three weeks when I'll run 10K in Warsaw. But having said that I must say that plan for this race was "not perfect" to say it gently. First four km were with average pace 3:50/km - with estimated result 38:20! I think your lactate level in blood went up quickly and you slowed down in next 6km - as last 6km were on average at 4:17/km. If you started at 4:06/km then you would speed up in second part of race (I know it's hard to start slower - when you fell strong in the beginning, crowds are cheering, it's hard to run slower :) ). But such approach gives better results and even better feeling at finish line - when in second half of race you're passing by those who started too fast and are fading :) OK, let's see if I will be able to keep that technique on 27th July, I want to have sub 41 minutes, will try to start exactly at 4:06/km and keep it for 5km at least, then if possible try to speed up :) Congrats again, overall result is really impressive!
@@LeszekDeska thanks for that 😀 it's so down hill for the first 3k and basically flat for the 4th, so that's why I went that strategy. I'm not a 10k racers so robably the sensible approach you say would be better. I didn't feel any discomfort in the first 4k, maybe I should have pushed a bit more 😂 wish you luck with your 10k, I'm sure you will do it right and hold back. I thought you'd be sub 41 already actually considering your marathon times are so good, but maybe your a bit like me and prefer the longer distances.
@@RunThePlanet ah it explains all - if it was so downhill then it was the way I would also go for (to keep the perceived effort level reasonable in first part). We'll see how it will go for me, sub-41 would be my goal A for that race, it will not be easy - according to Daniels calculator 41 minutes for 10K is equuivalent of 3:09 in marathon, I'm not at that level (anymore ;) ). But I will try! Good news for you is that as you ran that time from marathon training then it *should* be possible to run that 3:10 marathon. Only to be honest those running calculators for us, amateurs, do not work too well ;)
thanks Matt, great job 😃 and I think it's a good one to start with. Not the easiest course for the last half with it being alot of uphill. Wish you the best with your your running and hope you enjoy it as much as me !
Great effort Matt. The guy who was 1st is from up my way. I spoke to him briefly after a 10k last month. He was really close to getting a sub 30 in that one! Great to see you grabbing a PB. Marathon training will help you PB over other distances. You ran in Alphaflys? Never thought I’d see the day!
@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny 😄 I've had these alphafly 1s for a couple years and only use them for 5k and 10ks only got a 200 or so Kms on them. Too much calf strain on them for more than a 10k for me. But the newer ones are 8mm drop... 🤔 Fantastic you know the winner, small world.
You crushed that 10K! That pace was hot, and 40:59 is superb. Well done, Matt.
@@RunFreeandStrong thank you 😃 yeah these runs don't come along everyday so celebrate the pb when we can 🥳
Brilliant run, Matt. Glad the strategy paid off!
@@doingmybest6438 thanks 😀 I couldn't think of another way to run this one, though you won't catch me doing that at a marathon 😂
Excellent vlog Matt. Two PB's is absolutely phenomenal. Huge congratulations mate, you deserved it 🏅🏅👏👏👏

@@tworunningbrooms yeah a cracking day thanks. That will be great for you running the master champs 😃
Totally brilliant Matt! Well done on your shiny new PBs and great to meet you too! Onwards to great north run 🎉

@@RunThePlanet 👍🏼
Nice job!
Hey RicD ! Thank you 😃 might be tough to beat this one now. How's your running going ?
UA-camrs everywhere 😂 Great running 👌
@@SwimBikeRunStu yeah 😂 these were the two I knew were to be there so good to meet them. Were you there too ?

@@LeszekDeska you'll get it, give it Hell !! I believe in you 😃
I died ran it in 1h 23m but I’ve just started my running journey. 😊

2:28 managing to document one of the two running brooms taking care of business.
@@yellowfolder yeah was a really good day at the race 😃 thats the 2nd 10k I've enjoyed more than I expected.
When nature calls 🎉
19:56 also my 5k pb! But I couldn’t have run another 5k straight after!
I couldn’t have run another 5 metres!
@@conradburdekin7638 😂😂 thanks Conrad, but you never know in a race situation, the adrenaline and drafting off other runners 😯😯 who knows !
