Chasing a SUB 41 10K (Exeter Racecourse)

[@garymitchell277]

Hi Harry . Good effort. Would have joined you if i had known being up the road in Barnstaple. Have run Exeter racecourse as well when it was part of the Haldon 10k which is a good race a few years back. GAZZ and Rileyboy. 🥁🥁

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Gazz and Rileyboy, yes hopefully I'll be in the area in the future for a run

[@timstriathlonjourneys7575]

Great running superb time.

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers for watching as always Tim

[@jimlaidlaw8925]

Nicely done mate . 40 is going to be just round the corner on a tighter route

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Jim, it's returning, slowly but surely. What commitment and training strong running can take

[@davidjuson5608]

Thank you Harry. As entertaining as ever. It's a real fillip to see official running events slipping back onto the calendar. Can't wait for my first proper, timed race since ... I keep having this dream where my next competitive run is a long, obstacle infested trail run (not unlike last year's New Forest Marathon at Wimborne St Giles) that finishes in a cobweb infested castle and a long queue stretching away from a bedroom occupied by a sleeping princess. Hopefully it will actually be the Eastleigh 10k on July 4. Hoping to crack the 50 minute barrier: just a week and a day after the return of parkrun! Everyone: good luck on your next chipped run! Stay lucky!

[@thisisjogon]

Quite the dream David - maybe one day JOG ON can create fantastical running adventures for people. Eastleigh 10K is great, let me know how it goes. Harry

[@AllardsLovechild]

Nice one! I've got my 10k PB in the wake of a full marathon training block. 10k almost seems easy in the aftermath of that. Can recommend scheduling a 10k a week or so after target race.

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers for watching Ian

[@Olikachu]

Really great race from you! Shame for Louise here but shes still great too

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Oli, hope your running is going strong

[@colinsawyer9391]

Great running Harry and a 10k superb time. So good to be back racing again. I hope you let the Gent who attempted to propose down gently.

[@sonnyhacker1591]

Rapid stuff mate.. quality material as always 👌

The Hacker Half himself

[@johnking7649]

Very enjoyable again, Harry. Keep up the good work, can see why people like you. Humour on point and you are showing very well what it is like to run the courses, which is great for those of us thinking of giving it a go. 🤗

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers for watching John

[@Binksy2011]

Great Run Harry, hope all is going well with 5k training 👍⚡️👏

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you James. Hope all is going well with your own training

[@tail_lamp7538]

Another enjoyable watch Harry. Great to be back at a race.

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers Chris, absolutely

[@christopherapperley2804]

Amazing job! Going from strength to strength! What's your next goal? I've booked in Cambridge Half for my first ever race in October. Can't wait! :)

[@thisisjogon]

Brilliant Christopher, Cambridge Half should be excellent, I hope the training goes well for it! Do let me know how it goes when the time comes. Harry

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Great job. You're getting quicker and quicker lately, Harry. What's your target for the future? Looks like a sub 40 would definitely be achievable.

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Chris. Everything is finally coming together. I’ve got a 37:49 from 5 years ago, it’s been a hell of a long road back - I’m hoping to get a lot faster now, I’d like to get 36

[@fisfia]

I've now watched every video starting from the top (July 2022, 1 years worth of vids) and in this one I realize "Father" and Steve are not the same person?!

[@thisisjogon]

They are the same person…

[@fisfia]

@@thisisjogon I watched ever further and finally got it right ;P

[@nikitaw1982]

Enjoying ur videos P.s.. what is the vo2max of the average sub 20minute 5k runner? Just want a number to work for on the aerobike while injury recovering. Luckily aerobike doesn't trigger it.

[@thisisjogon]

I have no idea, worth research. Likely differs per individual

[@garyd8979]

Great running Harry, you looked comfortable at that pace. How did you manage to drop 8kg in weight? thats a lot of weight to drop i'm looking to shed a few kgs myself hoping it will improve my times.

[@thisisjogon]

Great question Gary. Running and weight is a weird subject, and I guess different for different people. The biggest thing for me, has just been eradicating the concept of a dessert after a meal, just having a cup of tea instead. So basically cutting down on sugar intake, and as that is happening, just taking the mileage up a little, for me this has been to around 30-40 miles a week (still nothing compared to some I know!) It’s a slow process, and not that fun, but just trying to see the bigger picture of, I really want to be a bit healthier and I really do want to perform better during races, kept me fairly on track. I still have another 7-8kg again I can lose to really be in great shape, and I think it can happen with a consistent and focussed effort. Thank you for watching and all the best with your own running journey Gary. Harry

[@rachaellouise2666]

Can't believe you turned that man's proposal down

[@thisisjogon]

Me neither

[@glebkozlovskiy1101]

Good race man.What are key sessions to run a sub 41 min. 10k currently stuck at 44ish?

[@thisisjogon]

If you can get yourself to a group session on an athletics track once a week consistently that would be a big difference, then try to get at least a steady 10 miles in on a Sunday. Those can be two of the most effective sessions (if you aren’t doing those already)

@@glebkozlovskiy1101 maybe a few months, maybe a few years. Just be patient - it will happen if you want it to

I am still out with an LCL injury and awaiting an MRI

Sorry to hear Ninja Runner

A man went to propose and I said no 😂

An odd moment I must admit
