Zuckerberg could also complete the Murph challenge in 39:58 which include wearing a 9kg vest and doing: one mile run 100 pull ups 200 push ups 300 squats one mile run. He is pretty fit in all aspects and I am gonna try to beat his time in this challenge. Running two one miles with 9kg is going to be the biggest obstacle for me.

[@BcI2]

well done, the pace get low when we get consistent my 10k PB is 53:02 :D

[@MarkLewisfitness]

I have done plenty of races, where that time would not have been anywhere near last. Perfectly respectable, first time out

[@mrstevemackay1]

New to the channel and loving the content! Some great advice with added humour! I’m 8 months into my running journey and 54. Goals of sub 25 min 5k and 60min 10k and maybe a half marathon next year!🤘🏼

[@MarkLewisfitness]

If you hit those times, you will have some decent goals achieved. Not hanging about at all.

[@LeeGraham998]

Good luck Steve. My journey is similar, having started last year at 47 and not having ran since cross-country at High School - you'll get there. Parkruns are excellent and I've got a half marathon lined up for October - aim is 1 hour 35 mins - we'll see if that's realistic or not! 😬🤞

[@cars92dtb]

Steve, if you keep consistent, recover well between your runs, you will achieve your targets and more! Maybe sign up for a half marathon in the distant future so you commit, and have fun on the way there 😀 hope your training goes smooth!

[@jakclarke3101]

having found your channel a few months ago, as a recent graduate and someone who used to love being active and playing sport as a teen. i love watching your videos and it has given me the motivation to get out go for hikes and get into running (running, something ive never been into or liked the sound of)! however, as a 24 year old overweight (not obese) male, i am loving being active and just doing! love the no bullshit attitude and dry sense of humour within your content! i guess i just wanted to tell you about the inspiration youve had on me and say thank you! good quailty, real content that isnt some PT! keep smashing it and being above average!!!

[@LeeGraham998]

Great video Mark. I can testify to how tough a sub-20 5k is, as it's a hurdle I'm still trying to overcome. Having gone from a 47 year old, 5 foot 7 inch, 14 .5 stone blob in August last year to 11 stone and 20 mins 30 secs at a parkrun now, I can safely say that need to average over 15kph for 5km ain't easy. Keep up the excellent content and I hope to pass Zuckerberg before age kicks in!

[@keithcorey5535]

I guess I have started a similar fitness journey to yours. I am 33 and started running again 8 weeks ago. I have run off and on over the years, but nothing this consistent. I started about 171kg and am now at 165kg. I am training for a half marathon on November 18th and just finished my 6 mile long run this morning. I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and have really enjoyed the motivation and your story. Keep up the good work!

[@facelessfettle]

Great content Mark, loving the way you get a message across and seeing your competitiveness….. can’t wait to see the next video.

[@maloxi1472]

I lost it at "I'm bang on Facebook Speed™" 😂😂😂

[@Omanjack]

The message of only comparing yourself to yourself is huge. After only back running 2 months now from a year off of very poor mental and physical health I got my 5k back under 25:00 today (all time PB of 22:30), not a huge milestone to some but it took a long time and a lot of work to get there the first time and im very happy to be on the right track again looking forward to each run. I know im capable of a lot more and im going to prove it to myself.

[@geoffm9927]

Came across your videos last week and they motivated me to get off the couch and start moving again. Currently in old Mark Lewis shape with the goal of becoming above average one day. Keep up the great content Mark. Also, Nixon's best 5k time when? He would own Zuck for sure!

Entertaining video! Think you hit the nail on the head when mentioning his size and weight. From my experience, if you've done a reasonable amount of running in the past, providing you keep yourself active and don't gain the weight you can still run reasonably well off doing less training (although it becomes more difficult with age). When you're a bigger guy it's much harder to get and stay running fit. After 12 years off myself, the weight is the main thing holding me back from running close to the times I once did

[@Aero-Saint]

I’ve just finished reading Born to Run based on your suggestion. Thank you for talking about it in your videos! Really has changed my mindset on running and was an incredibly inspiring read. Onto training for my first half marathon in November. Goal is to run an ultra next year. Cheers!

[@oldo2840]

More quality content Mark! You've been a big reason for my recent decision to get fit and healthy again in my late 30's, so thanks for the inspiration! I mainly indoor row on the concept 2 in my pain cave. Even though i'm not 6' 2", it's still been my fav activity since my early 20's gym bro days. A few years ago i bought a PaddleSport Training paddle adapter kit for it to add some rotational training in the form of paddling, which has been a lot of fun. Stick with me, I'm getting to the point. Recently I watched a video where you did a race on a stand up paddleboard, which looked a lot of fun, so the other day I bought an amazon special side to side wobble board (+ grip tape on the floor to stop any unwanted rotation) which now allows me to stand up and paddle! Great fun! Adds a huge core/balance component that i was missing. I'd recommend trying it, especially if you're doing more SUP races. Perhaps PaddleSport Training would even send you a free one. If nothing else you could probably squeeze a video or two out of it. Stay hard..

[@oldo2840]

Actually, I got my paddle adapter kit in 2017 or something. Upon checking the PST website, I see they now actually sell a long SUP paddle as an add on! Tempting..

[@MarkLewisfitness]

You being you and not ashamed of admitting frailties, deficiencies and mistakes (followed big a good historical movie or song reference) and finishing positive is why I watch you.

Hey Mark! Greta video! Can you do a video talking about your first 10k race? When you were fairly new to running? Mindset, preperations etc. I ran my first 10k race earlier this June, just recovering from a brutal mancold, went pretty ok. Under 1 hour 😁

Great message at the end, Mark. Thanks again for the video.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Added it in as Barnes Fitness mentioned how they were struggling to put the events on with numbers, still being down post covid - does my head in that there isn't government funding for people like them running a business that adds so much to the community (not to mention long-term health of the nation)

Thanks for the motivation Mark 😅, I am getting out the door now for a hopefully easyish 8km. I'm wondering if you know of any celebs (or well known computer nerds) with 5km times of just under 22 minutes? I am currently just starting on a 5km training plan after taking extended time off after a 88km ultra race in mid June and could use some motivation to get my 5km time back to under 22 minutes which is a time that I haven't run in a few years now 😅, the closest being a few sub 22 minutes 30 seconds attempts in 2022 😬. Keep up the good work and the cool, zany and thought provoking videos Mark 🙌

Mark, the manifestation of an 80’s super hero versus a 2000’s computer nerd…..the match up of the century we never knew we needed. 😂😂😂

[@Martin-kc1xj]

Lesson of the day: run like a robot. Zuck does it naturally, for the rest of us, clearly a pacer does wonders.

[@chrisgilligan4968]

For sure maintaining a consistent pace at your threshold is the best route to running your best times. Figuring out what your threshold pace is for a given distance and practicing running that pace is a critical piece to improving. The longer the race, the more important pacing becomes. Mark was not super consistent with his pacing in attempt #2, but because the event is only 5k you can get away with some variance. If he would have been able to run right on 3:48 /km for all 5 it would give him his best chance at breaking the 19 minute barrier...practicing and getting the feel of how fast your feet turnover, and your breathing at that pace helps you to execute the pace out on the course. There are some watches now that have a pacer feature that shows you visually if you are ahead of, or behind a virtual pacer...the good part of that is that it is GPS based and you get real time data every step, not just at the km or mile markers.

[@mjowsey]

@@chrisgilligan4968 watches are great for pacing. Keeping up with another human is even better. A lot of people at parkrun run very consistently week after week. Get to know the people who are a little faster than you at your local parkrun and chase them down. Exactly as Mark just demonstrated!

[@CPWS_The_Stingray]

Very interesting perspective. I was a runner for 5 years and everything and everyone around me were also athletes or were pretty fit and a time like this would be a "moderate to threshold" workout pace. The funny thing too is that out of my friend group I was the fastest runner but was also the one sitting on the couch pounding pringles the most.

[@ohsweetmystery]

My husband was a fairly competitive amateur runner and considered 6 min/mile a workout pace.

After each run I found it difficult to walk for a few days. By the time the next run came around I was just coming good muscle wise. Then I’d run and I’d go through the whole thing again.

I fall into the "good build for running" group but am currently averaging 5:45/km. Not racing others, just racing myself. Immensely impressed by Zuckerberg's pace and any other person making their legs do that pace at my height. Seeing 30-something women at 5'3" run regular 4:40s blows my mind. I've found that doing a lot of zone 2 and now pushing my arse up mountains when trail running has helped my flat run pace by 15 sec/km. Next step: sleep more. DO HARD THINGS!

[@stuartthurstan]

My best friend got me into running. She's 44 and 4'11" (only weighs 40kg though). She runs 5ks sub 19 minutes, half marathons in 1h25 and has also run a number of ultra trails and mostly finished on the podium in those. Amazing lady.

Facebook speed is a new thing. Funny how successful A type personalities like you have a difficult time keeping a good, honest and steady pace. When I coached triathlon full of $10k bikes attached to Porsches, keeping the A types in check was by far the most difficult. With all the tech it should be easy but the orangutang almost always took over and the end of the race was a death march despite all the promises prior to the race. Nice running man. After some injuries I am finally getting back into running. Did a hilly 5 miles the other day at 8min/mile pace. Felt alive!
