The overlay is so great for running videos like this! I especially like having the map visible like this

[@michaelkirk3743]

You should check out ‘Crown my run’ who does this style of running content.

[@Zeeerrra]

That is an amazing time you ran! Congratz! These race-videos are my favorite kind of videos especially with all the data in the bottom.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks! Glad to hear more coming 😃

[@IngriddenDigre]

I raced for the third time yesterday, in Stavanger. I love that it's so open for anyone, and all personal victories are celebrated. I ran for the first time under 40 min, which for me is a victory!

[@clivewitcomb2839]

Ooh, I love Stavanger (and love parkrun - on my 210th!) - another visit might be needed! And yes - everyone's fastest pace hurts, whatever it is ;) X

[@IngriddenDigre]

@@clivewitcomb2839 210!! Wow, that's mindboggeling for me! I'll have to try to catch up. 😅 Love how inclusive park run is, it's about your own journey, together with others. So for those that are motivated by the race aspect, they'll find someone to push them, like Göran does in this video, for me, it's about finding someone a little bit faster than me, and trying to keep up with them. And then thanking them for being that inspiration. Or hearing that someones managed to run 210 parkruns, and wanting that number of parkruns under my own belt. I hope someone will say that to me one day. 😆🤞

[@oddbob6675]

That hill in the Stavanger parkrun is painful.

[@IngriddenDigre]

@@oddbob6675 I've yet to try running them! I just walk up, and whenever it evens out, try jogging a bit. The first time I saw that first hill, I just laughed.

[@alvaropv7574]

Incredible race Göran, what a landscape!!! 😮

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks yeah it’s such nice nature there 😀

[@noone-ld7pt]

Holy shit that overlay was incredible! So cool to see all the relevant stats and the course map at the same time. If I could make one suggestion, the "distance" metric was kind of just a line getting slowly filled up maybe it could have been replaced with an elevation profile? You could still have the distance counter under it as a number but I think the elevation would be more interesting than just a distance progression bar. But that's just my opinion of course! Really really awesome content!

[@fenderOCG]

Parkruns are great fun. I've come second a few times and thought I'd pulled a miracle the other day when the two guys in front of me ignored the finish and continued running, leaving me first to cross the line with a PB of 17:06. For some reason I was still second and first was 'unknown' with no time. One day I'll get there!

[@marlenatopple8472]

Really enjoyed this video. Congratulations and welcome to the Parkrun community.

[@sandratormey5343]

Wow Göran, what a beautiful area to have Park run - it would definitely motivate you to get outside and run🤗🤗🤗

[@mattrobinson5209]

Great video and congrats! Not only 1st place, but now the course record holder 🏆

[@gb2983]

Coming from England (outside London) where I have 7 parkruns to chose from within 30 minutes drive and one that is 2 minutes walk that has 1000+ every week, I hope it catches on in Norway like it has here.

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah it’s so cool to see how big it is in England. Should go there and try one of the big once some time 😊

[@nzmagpie1]

here in New zealand the 50th parkrun is starting on saturday. i started parkrun in may this year and have done 7 so far, i got my 9/12 year old sons to join me for 2-3 times each and ive lowered my pb 3 times from my pre-parkrun 5k times. my local parkrun is 1.5km so thats pretty handy. im so grateful a runner i met online encouraged me to parkrun as otherwise i wouldnt get up early on a saturday to run usually (8am start here is pretty cold)

Goran is the best running youtuber and, for me, the most consistently interesting in general with all new videos - there hasn't been a single bad one. Perfect tone of educating and entertaining 🙌 Congratulations on the win!!

[@re13irthbassist611]

Parkrun is great. We got introduced to them while we’ve lived in Germany, but would love to start one if needed when my family and I move back to the US. Good job!

[@TheTJSims]

Being from the UK and now a travel dude, I always miss ParkRun when living in a country without it. It gives me a goal every single week. Even if I'm just doing a recovery run, somebody will always be at max effort next to me which is super motivating. So happy to see it spreading. Austria in the last couple years and now more in Norway! Hope to see you at a local ParkRun there at some point in the future and loving the videos of course! :)

[@eviehawke]

what a beautiful course! i like seeing the data while you run. congratulations! 🎉

[@lighghtrite2261]

This style of video is so cool, and your hometown is so beautiful! Well done!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Great to see parkrun coming to Norway. We've been fortunate to attend nearly 600 over the years at 284 locations. Have won a few inaugurals too like yourself. Now we're happy to Vlog them. 83 and rising so far. We alternate between a scenery run and racing now.

[@stuartgreig6609]

There are now 10 in Norway.

[@chrisdavidson8525]

I really like your channel. That is an amazing time - my body is not yet capable of doing this, maybe one day! Beautiful parkrun, and a very well produced video, bravo!

[@Bweyg]

17:13 is incredible, especially on a pretty hilly course, maybe you can do a series where you train to break 17 minutes in the 5k, maybe even 16 minutes in the 5k, the same way you did with the sub 9 minute 3k? I would LOVE to see that. Good job on the 5k and continue to make amazing videos!

[@Aima952]

Thank you for sharing heart rate data throughout! I'm significantly slower but I'm glad to see I'm actually hitting similar numbers across the run. I mostly watch 10km plus content or park run course reviews and longer distance runners all hit much lower numbers - which makes me feel bad about mine even though I pretty much stick to 7km or less.

[@CiCC-kány]

Congrats! What a coincidence! I also just ran my first parkrun last Saturday. I was much slower than you, but managed to get the 5th place.

[@nicksmith4507]

So happy to see Parkrun expanding in other countries. It helps so many people, and pushed my running up some knotches. What beautiful scenery, and well done on your performance.

[@severiner7168]

What a beautiful course you have on your doorstep! Hopefully you can enjoy it with the family in a future PR!

[@ivaeiintch]

By far my favourite running channel on KZbin. My only complaint is that not more videos of yours to watch. Always super positive and great data 👍👍

Great video, im heading there from Oslo on Saturday, 3.8.24, as Tøyen isn't on. The course looks great.

[@Pepesilvia267]

Love showing the HR and pace! I always think something is wrong with me when my heart rate tops out after only a few minutes into a race so it was good to see how yours reacts. 165bpm for that pace is insane as I would be at like 185 and dying. But so nice to know that elite runners aren’t crushing at 120bpm and that they are actually working hard

[@Nic.kname.09]

I have to credit Parkrun for helping me improve my running. I started running almost a year ago, but I started Parkrun about 9 months ago, and it helped push me to another level. For me, it's a good social event. I go with my friends and we go for a swim and have coffee afterwards. On Sunday, I will run my first marathon. I was training for the half, but I didn't register in time. I have been training longer runs, but the regularity of Parkrun is a big part of why I am now able to do this big race. That and Göran's videos 😄

[@stenna9274]

Looking forward to trying this Parkrun at some point! My local Parkrun is Løvstien in Bergen, a quite challenging and hilly course (130-140m of gain total) with a great view of the city. I volunteer there regularly, and we would of course love to see you there sometime!

[@jamesrivas6394]

Beautiful footage Goran love this.

[@him050]

My weekly Parkrun is an out and back course. On the way back I always say some encouraging words to the people I'm passing and I'm 100% certain it makes me go faster and helps me push through the pain.

[@Strizzle81]

Beautiful course and awesome race!

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah really nice course 😀

[@peternorris5614]

What fun and a great video! Your running commentary is a gold mine of helpful advice.

[@seatownfan]

Were you running in Italy 🇮🇹? Just a joke about the shape of the course. But seriously, that is an amazing course and I would think the terrain and the slight elevation adds a minute to your time. Watching you run up that hill was impressive too! Congrats, that was an excellent win in your first park run! 🏃‍♂️

[@goranwinblad]

Haha 😅 thanks yeah a really nice course but yeah not the fastest hope I can run about 45s faster on a really fast course.

[@paulallen1370]

In high school cross country 5ks, you have to start off fast because there's no way you are making up that gap on a hilly muddy course with a bunch of people in the way. If someone goes out too fast, hang on to them because they'll definitely slow down.

[@troymorgan4955]

It's not a race, or winner - it's called fastest finisher

[@bigboxerable]

Yep, not a race - Parkrun call it a “timed run” - not a race. Maybe the first five or ten race it, but most are just out for the exercise and friendship. That’s the fun of it.
