yea, Nate/Matt should make himself more useful next time! 🚴‍♀️

Yeah, me too 😆

All I would say is, 31.14 for 5km for a first time 65 year old runner is still dam impressive. Most 25 year olds would struggle to do that. You must be made of tough stuff.

@@alexmorris1994 Thanks much! I was actually kinda embarrassed, being passed by 10-12 yr. olds and others who didn't look the part, lol. Studying the art now, didn't know it can be so technical! Training intervals/ hills to break 30 min. by next Turkey Trot!

How did you prepared yourself at this age? I am 61, anxious to know. Please give some guidance.

@@abdulkarimkazi4201 …..Two sides of “preparation” for me….physically, by doing iFit programs on my treadmill that gradually brought me into better shape over 6-9-12 months…and mentally by watching MANY, MANY KZfaq videos that showed me HOW to run. I knew nothing about cadence, foot strike, form, and even BREATHING, lol. I just ran naturally….and started getting lots of pains. Shin splints, knee soreness, and plantar fasciitis eventually all showed up. Gradually the pains have mostly subsided as my body has accommodated to stresses and used better technique….the plantar issue is finally leaving, after 4-5 months. I now work out with weights more, also, as that has a lot to do with stability and strength issues. Bottom line….start slow, gradually build up endurance, and do some weight training. It takes time, especially at our age…it ain’t coming fast! Watch the teaching vids on KZfaq, very helpful….one video will lead you to another, all night long. Write down tips and practice them! I still suck compared to vet runners of all ages….but I suck less than I used to, lol. At first, I couldn’t run more than 3 minutes without dying for a break….now at least I can run an hour. Oh yeah, running on the street is harder than the treadmill….it’s all YOU.

He looked sleepy or tired, maybe a hard workout earlier or late the day before

Yeah, his ass dragging was almost annoying.

They run with cheetahs

would be nice and a bit better if it was a little bit softer (as in making less noise). A somewhat softer foot strike would say to me she is rolling over her feet rather than just having them plop down as the extra sounds reveal. The best runners are the quietest!

around 5:00min/km (8:02min/mile)

Really? Looked more like sub 7

@@lupecabada2714 i will agree my esimate is on the slow end. but they don't seem to run at sub 4:20/KM (yes, i like my kilometers :D and i'm making it it relatable for the rest of the world) Based on: @1:24 they're passing by 3 foldable garden carts. They are each around 90cm in length (35inches). From 1:24 to 1:25 they pass all 3 of them with some additional maybe 80cm at the most. Totally they cover around 3.5m in that second. 3.5m/s is below 8mph, which is 4:45/km (7:40/mile). In that 1second clip they run at that speed.

Warm up (per Strava) avg 7:25.

@@markmurray6039 thanks for clearing it up

Thanks Andrew! I was holding the camera on the gimbal facing backwards as I rode

@@mtn_techne that takes srrious skill

@@andrewworrall4302 Thanks man!

Yeah they are loud, the one thing I find kind of annoying with them; at least it isn't just me lol.

Those carbon plates remind me of the coconuts in Monty Python and the Holy Grail...

Impressive but not quite compared to the top runners

why? that would just clutter the description and it does not matter what their gear is. If you care go check out their social media accounts where it is sure to be posted and then you'll support them but running is becoming too commerical with a focus on gear. You don't need anything beyond good shoes, shorts, and a $5 digital watch that function as a stop watch.

That's a great idea. Especially as these athletes are gear sponsored, they would welcome the opportunity to have their gear offered to us in the description. In my sport of disc golf, almost every video has the athlete golfer telling us quickly their gear for the day in the video itself.

I was tired and hungry

By breathing longer!

Depending on your definition, threshold is the same as tempo.

A lot of coaches consider tempo and threshold the same thing.

Not that fast lol

@@waterproof4403 you do know shes a world class runner right? And idk what metric ure using. If youre comparing her to mens pace obviously shed be behind. But for women shes actually top 1%

@@erensfeet5563 let's see her win a world championship.. Or a world major marathon
