3 minutes of improvement is huge, just goes to show what consistency and hard work can achieve. You probably owe 15 seconds or more to the lady you were racing. I loved her knowing smile when you first passed her. she was saying "he's gone too early" with her eyes😅😅😅

She absolutely nailed that tactical battle. I do love a good sprint finish, you don't see many go for it like she did so fair play to her. Thanks for watching David. 🙌

What I like about you Ryan is the way you look at fitness; not as a single goal but a journey toward a happier, healthier way of life; setting targets to keep you motivated. You talk about longevity which is essential.

That's exactly how I look at it Chris. I love trying to achieve these new targets and they're all new to me. I never thought in a million years id be running a sub 30 5k for example. Thanks for watching and commenting sir!

I think I know what this would mean. You don't want to just creep over the line, you want a good bit of daylight between you and it. You want to convincingly do it, not in a way that could be a fluke. Fantastic that you've plugged away with discipline and achieved it. 💪👌

I was lured in here because of Zwift 😁 Congrats on your PB. I'm thinking you have another minute for free, if you pace it right...find the people that always pass you halfway, and stick to them through an entire race. Don't get too overwhelmed about your max heart rate. It says nothing about your current form and it simply decreases with age. Get exited about your resting heart rate which you can affect by improving your current form. I hope you had a great swim home 😀
@RyanCondon11 ай бұрын
Thanks for being lured. That's my hope. I don't know the regulars, let alone their normal pace so I use my watch for that but I get hyped up in the atmosphere, I find it fun. Thanks for the comment. 🙌

Warming up and pacing myself in the beginning has helped me a lot with parkrun PBs. Try to resist the sprint of the line and see if it helps
@RyanCondon11 ай бұрын
I'll never be able to resist it. I did it in my Marathon PB a couple of months ago. It's all good as it makes it fun, I'm not a pro so I don't mind making mistakes. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙌

Huge kudos for the prep of getting up early, running in the dark and then running home again after a PB. Serious commitment and you deserved that result. Did you walk through that river to get home at the end? :P
@RyanCondon11 ай бұрын
Thanks Zebeddy. I appreciate the comment. 🙌 I tried to climb around the flood but should have just walked through it as was soaked and muddy by the time I got home. 😅

Can you give us a weight update in the next video? You look great. Good job !!
@scottmccann450911 ай бұрын
What happened next after you got to the river? (leaving us on a cliff hanger like Eastenders). Was it socks/trainers off and wading through, Straight through Spartan/Tough Mudder style or did you about turn and go back the easy way?? Oh well done for the consistent improvements 💪💪
@RyanCondon11 ай бұрын
The cliff hanger seemed intentional but I had enough and didn't film anymore. I had to climb upto the road, wriggle along the edge and back down the other side, should've just waded through as the farmers field on the other side was just as waterlogged. Joys of trail running in the winter in the UK. Thanks for watching and commenting Scott. 🙌
