10k Head To Head Race

[@alfromtx245]

Manni sounds like one of the most polite trash talkers I've ever heard.

[@CheeseBlackOps]

A real class act

[@Beefywheels]

I love watching Andy race. He’s so humble. No smack talk, claps in his opponent. He just puts in the work and smokes everyone🎉

[@Spendarellaa]

Spoiler alert

[@slavaukraini1991]

Sub 40 min 10km is something I dream about, great work by both of you.

They are both such great runners!

Well done Denise! Half Marathon next, yeah?

[@liamroche1473]

Great contest guys, and interesting analysis! Manni was in a class of his own in the pre-competition trash talking. :)

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for watching Liam, glad you enjoyed it!

[@beady0081]

My god you are both insanely fast runners. Great job! honestly find it hard to believe anyone can run that fast.

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

[@carolinasilva6366]

The banter was so funny, loved the competitive spirit

[@runningchannel]

Manni is the banter king!

[@JamesWester]

"So here it's just about damage limitation." I think we've all felt that way before. Good for pushing through. :)

[@pepperminttea2460]

Manny did amazing in this - he took Andy on and gave him a real run for his money! I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again, seeing Andy run is so inspiring and I’m in awe. It’s like watching a dancer on stage - even when he says he’s struggling, everything looks so incredibly smooth and easy. I really enjoyed this video, nice take on the review videos TRC usually does with all the specs and talking to the camera. Loving all of the content you folks are pushing our at the moment, keep it up! ❤️

[@genmmygem1908]

Manni king of banter 🙈 ...Andy always the gentleman ...awesome run,congrats Andy 👍🏼

[@MariaMarsbar]

This was so fun to watch! I love hearing all the stats and getting some analysis, it teaches me so much (I don't have a watch that can analyse all of those things!). I only started with Couch to 5k last October and I just ran my first 10k race at the weekend. Even though I'm slow, I'm so proud that I achieved a PB of 1:13:48. I can't imagine being this fast!

[@prashamthakkar1183]

Loved it!! Btw I can’t wait to see how Sarah did in her marathon 👀 hope it went well😄

[@runningchannel]

Thanks Prasham, glad you liked it. The conclusion to Sarah's marathon journey will be out on Sunday. We can't wait for everyone to see it!

[@nmmerri]

I just read that Molly Huddle considers there to be two classes of runner - Warriors and Worriers - immediately made me think of this!

[@tinu96]

Great video! The novelty challenge videos are fun, but I really really like these videos where there is a challenge element or a fun hook, but also a deeper dive into stats or the science of running.

[@runningchannel]

Yes, this seems to have been a really popular part of this video, we're glad you appreciated it.

[@marcamusprime9513]

Awesome. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! 👏🏾

[@yinhoukhor7109]

Goodness gracious!!! That is just utterly insane!!! 10km in 35 minutes!!! I couldn't come close to that in my wildest dreams!!! Very intriguing analysis too by the way. I gotta say, there are such things as superhumans!! The fact that both of you covered 10km very comfortably under forty minutes means that the both of you safely belong in that category!!

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for watching Yin, glad you enjoyed it!

[@enonek2960]

Sorry if I missed it, but to both guys, how close were these results to your most recent 10K races? Manny that took guts, taking on a Common Wealth Games Champion! Your smack game is Gold Medal worthy!😁

[@paddywiggle]

I wonder how fast Andy could have run if he were challenged at the end? 🤔 for a while it was a solo TT

[@kentm7731]

Great video. Loved the explanations of the Running Dyanamics data and what certain metrics can tell about your running and muscular/tendon activation. A dedicated video on this could be useful for HRM-Pro users.

[@runningchannel]

Thanks Kent, we haven't had a specific video for that device but we do reference it in this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKCndYFtiZqqnrs if that helps?

[@kentm7731]

The Running Channel thanks, but i was thinking more along the lines of Manny's breakdown of running dynamics and how GCT and stride length changes translate to different things to consider. The link to heart-rate was also useful though.

[@seanaepley3180]

Great race! Yoi both went out so hard! I would love to see a more measured 10k to compare and determine if you're stats change less drastically and your form stays pretty consistent. (I imagine that would be the case, but I'm curious how different it would be ultimately.)

[@mikefarrant499]

Wow amazing 10km pace and really interesting analysis. Thanks. I wish I had the enthusiasm for running but have gone off it this year.. still doing a few half marathons and other races to give myself some targets. I imagine we all experience some running ruts from time to time.

[@kymberleerogie4298]

Very interesting! I love how you talked through the stats and stuff! What watch were you both using? Great video!

[@runningchannel]

Most of the stats came through the HRM pro chest tracker but Andy wears the Garmin Jura and Manni wears the Garmin 245 Forerunner.

[@ethanvance3834]

What's a garmin jura? I see they are a watch dealer in the uk but it seems they sell most of the garmin models.

[@Bajerzasty]

This is one of the best things I've ever seen! I use Garmin HRM Run and was curious how my run dynamics looks like compared to elite runners and now I have the answer :-)

[@runningchannel]

Good to hear you found it useful. Were you familiar with the features we mentioned?

[@Ekelarwenia]

That's really cool to see all those stats and very interesting to consider. Also, I'm stunned at those 10 k paces, that's my dead sprint speed.

[@teloriun1974]

Loved the 'stats', super interesting...and yowzers, you two are fast! Great work from you both. Not sure, but what about Anna and Sarah do the same challenge? Not sure whether they are similar enough in ability to make it fair?

[@runningchannel]

That could be interesting, we'll see if either of them fancy it!

[@robsnobb]

I just love you all on the TRC ! Thank you again for a great video !!!!

[@Joe-th2dv]

It's runners like you two that make getting the top spot on a Strava segment longer than 300m almost impossible. (I still have a sub 11second 100m time) If I get my 5k to under 20mins I would be very happy, if I get my 10k below 40mins I would be...on a bicycle.

[@nik9401]

Nice one! Don’t know how you can sustain that pace for such a long time in that heat! Well done. Cheers Nik

[@runningchannel]

It was certainly tough going out there that day.

[@adrianmardari]

This was fun to see the garmin technology in action and all the measurements you can get. Good job guys, awesome times!

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cannibalmanimal2336]

The first thing I saw early on was that Manni pulls harder w his right hamstring, causing the left contact time to be so high. The height of heel lift is directly proportional to angle of falling. The same amount of effort (very little) is used to pull up the foot at all speeds, it’s just more gravity flowing through the system forces an increased range of motion. But the speed difference was simply due to sustained fall angle aka lean. Who can hold the line

[@GarethFreshwater]

Loved every bit of this video guys! Thank you very much :D Really insightful.

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it Gareth, thanks for watching.

[@stevehogg2103]

Thanks, that seems to be a highlight for people. It insightful to hear how elites athletes can measure their performance and critique their own efforts.

[@SuperFuzzyDunlop]

Willington Loop! I run round here all the time

[@glidercoach]

😱 Yesterday I ran my fastest 5k and 10k ever! I was so happy. I _WAS_ so happy. Manni is a full 20 minutes faster than me! In my defense, I'm running at 600 meters in altitude, cover 218 meters in elevation gain... and I'm 60. I'm really curious on how I would perform at sea level on a flat track. There is no way I can run in 30° weather. Anything more than 13° my performance crashes.

[@ian757]

I found the technical discussion about the metrics very interesting - especially given that Andy is an ex-pro. I'm sure we all have a stronger leg so how do we try to rebalance? Pistol squats? Technical runs in which we consciously try to correct the imbalance whilst looking at the metric on our watch? I loved the trash talking by Manni too! 😂😂😂

[@dresden_slowjog]

NO spoiler who won the race itself but we know who won the trash talk warm-up🤴🏿😂. RACE: Great pace 🚀🚀(far outside my ability). CREW: lots of effort put into filming from all sorts of angles and perspectives, cutting, and I enjoyed your post-race dissemination chat very much, too. WATCH: I cannot afford such a watch but the health benefits of the left-right-balance and vertical movement sensors are undoubtedly worth their money. Having legs of slightly different lengths I notice the negative effect on my muscle chain, hips and back on long runs. Want to run more "leveled" and even and that data could aid in finding insoles of perfect height and tailor Strength&Conditioning workouts to the weaker side. On all my runs I pay attention to limit vertical movement and stride length/cadence to reduce stress on my body. One's got only one body and one health, with or without watch. This clip showed very well why those high-end watches could really be considering and worth working some extra-shifts to fork out the money. Stay healthy, y'all!

[@jone6638]

@@runningchannel Well I suppose it is always going to be subjective yet based on data (body posture, cadence, stride length, GCT, steady heart rate, steady pace, etc.), but you've got the experts to make that judgment. 👍

[@dresden_slowjog]

Running Form Videos - Great idea. Would be so helpful to avoid injuries. Once I heard AND felt someone coming up on me from behind as thunderous as an earthquake, on hard asfalt. "He will have no knees and hips 10 years from now" was all I was thinking in disbelief. Why do people destroy their bodies so mindlessly? I'll never understand.

[@funwithmadness]

This just reinforced what I've already believed... My stride length is a bit too short and vertical oscillation too high. I'm convinced it's due to poor push-off strength so I'm relying on bounce instead to driving forward. Pretty interesting stats, though. Thanks for posting.

[@mrfielder-stdenys8151]

Great video. More of the nerdy numbers and stats videos, please.

[@grecoolivan3604]

Great content!

[@ilovemusicme]

Excellent video production and editing. Perfect to get a dynamic insight to performance and comparison. Does the chest HRM provide the ground contact data and the vertical oscillation? If so it is a clever piece of kit. Do you find you can change your left/right balance to correct the bias as you run and then see the response on the data? Well done to the whole team.

[@runningchannel]

You can adjust balance based on feedback through the watch but it's difficult to manage throughout the run. It is usually more effect when you're analysing post-race, to see which side you're favouring.
