Great video, only thing I’d add, is that every 5k PB I’ve ever got, I’ve gone off at a pace that is probably *a bit* fast. Expect that first km to slightly worry you, but if your training is good you should be able to hold that pace.

No full range, isolated calf raises? Gastroc-soleus complex takes the greatest load when running!

AS someone who has always gym sessioned barefoot since his days as a junior gymnast I should make you aware that although it can have its benefits to strong foot core etc it can also lead to issues with the fat pads as well as lead to issues like Plantar Plate strains... as a runner, your feet are your lifeblood so even if wear a slimmer profile shoe it will protect the feet. As gymnasts, we always had a padded floor but in later life, this padded floor turned into a gym floor which is far harder and I now suffer... take heed young blood 🙏🙏

Most distance runners get more than enough time in shoes. Barefoot in the gym is usually best for those individuals. Of course, everything should be used in moderation (not usually the case in the sport of gymnastics).

You won’t have run that much more than 5K - watches aren’t as accurate as you think they are! A whole lap of a track in lane 2 only adds 7m.

Thanks Nick - My brother is part of Best Athletics and I may join as well. I will aim to buy the super shoes before my half marathon in Cambridge in March - Would you recommend the Adidas Boston 12? I have been doing 5 x 1km currently however I will try 10 x 400m as you have suggested. Also, thanks for the tip about always adding something onto each week to make sure you are always improving. Boom Shakalaka!

@ That’s really helpful! Do you breathe in twice then out, or make sure you’re breathing through your diaphragm when you feel a stitch coming on? I guess you don’t get them too much anymore…

Most pro runners I know train barefoot in the gym. It’s been a game changer for me. Helps to strengthen my feet and ankles (helps me fight off plantar fasciitis and I rarely roll ankles on the trails). Definitely yoga socks for a public gym and whatever at home is the way to go.
