The guy who ran way ahead at the beginning is a young man named Didrik Jensen, a 3000 steeple chase specialist. Was 1st in the Gothenburg Youth Games 2023 @ the 3000 steeple chase with 8:59.92

[@Ludvig.A]

And he finished this race with a time of 15:27, a new track record 💪

[@ProjectTokyo]

This really is a testament to a mindset of something is better than nothing and that there is no excuses to not do a little training even if your life is super busy. Amazing work!

[@goranwinblad]

Well said! 😀

[@josiem5374]

thats so true. first few months of lockdwon i always made that excuse that i cant work out for an hour, gym is closed, etc. after that i just did a 15m workout before showering every morning and the results of daily hard work showed up, even with such little time! always do at least something

[@sarthakthapliyal4710]

as far as I could remember - the earliest memories of my life were of my dad returning from his run when we woke up. He inspired me to run. So when I picked up running I could only do small distances compared to him . He would be returning from his run when was approaching half way of my course . Upon seeing me pushing hard- he would always raise his hand and give me a high five. It'd happen everyday. That is one of the fondest memory of my early childhood. Congratulations Goran on your fatherhood.

Do you mind me asking, what was the device you used to record? @@goranwinblad

[@MrCaioragazzi]

As I said before, Goran has the best running content on KZbin! These first-person views on races are amazing!!!! And also is great to understand your strategy and how an elite runner behaves in races like this! Thanks a lot, man!

[@parabolanovergaard]

Fantastic video once again. You are killing it with these race videos like this. Great stuff!

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks 😊

[@StephenCahalan]

I'm a dad of five year old twins and beginner triathlete. Also find it hard to fit in training around family life/work, but it gets easier as they get older. It's definitely worth the effort, as you have to be fit just to keep up with them! Exercise helps you to cope with the stress of minding them too!

[@Green_Twillight]

Your videos are very motivating. Yesterday I ran 5 kilometers through the forest. For the first time in 20 years (I'm 40 now). It was a little difficult, but the fresh air, the leaves coming from the trees, the autumn sun - it was wonderful. That's life. Thank you!

[@jassaljs]

Was amazing just being with you on the track!! You are great at motivating👍 Last two years have been pretty bad for me, two surgeries and covid at least four times! Leaving a patch in my lungs. I have got back to running (very slow, run, walk!) and I am participating in a 10k next month🤞 🤗Your videos really help🤗

[@RageForSeven]

as a young father too whose max speed is around barely sub 4m/km (over 1 km mind you), it's incredible to see the speed this young lad in front of you is doing considering you are already doing a 3:15/km, he must be around 2:45/km even maybe less. My father was a 3min/km runner in XC and it was simply incredible to see him run. When i was of age to run, i was never able to keep up, in fact i have never been able to beat him until he was too old to run, but i cherish all those moments i had cycling with him when he was running!! Do the same with your kids, take them with you, they will cherish it forever!!

[@nataliamartinkova]

Thank you for sharing your HR development over the race. I now feel better about my 27 min 3.4km night race. With mean HR of 172, I know I gave it my all. You are a running inspiration, and I love watching your videos.

[@chrism5433]

Goran .the lack of sleep is hard one ,with 2 kids at the same time is a massive job. i have been there . fantastic job, time crunched training is key ,thanks for the beautiful videos ,keeps us all running lol cheers

[@MrEsPlace]

I still think a KZbin creator 10k would be an amazing event. I don't know exactly who, but as many as possible. It'd be a riot. All the guntubers manage to get together and have range days.

[@erik556]

running form in that wide shot is text book, super jealous of that!

[@runningforviews]

That guy took off in the beginning! 🚀

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah he was crazy fast ended up running 15.26 which is really impressive on that course. He is apparently a U23 national team runner for Norway.

[@ShoeFinderMan]

I am a father of 4 and know what it takes to be a hardworking father. You are simply awesome and inspiring ❤❤

[@diamondexteriorcleaning]

Amazing! I have just found your channel Goran, thank you for this fantastic story on a dreary Sunday morning, well done and keep going.

[@goranwinblad]

Welcome to the channel and thanks for your nice comment 😊

[@Oogwayascents]

You inspired me so much Göran that I made it my goal to start working out every day. (even if its just a little bit) Its been over a year now and very hard some times to stay motivated, but hands down the best decision of my life. You are making these videos so fun, easy and inspiring at the same time, its just amazing so thank you😄

[@MrMb167]

Great stuff as usual. Thanks for the motivation! Good job on the 5k 😊

[@50Something]

Fantastic effort and amazing production and editing Goran!

Thanks for the videos, enjoying damn much! Best of luck, you got this!

[@megang9563]

Really enjoy your videos. I love that you have a laser focus and your competition is yourself. Things that I need to improve upon even if I’m a back of the pack runner.

[@hisyamuddinaris2140]

I just love to watch your vlog…thank you, it motivates me more…

[@steve24550]

Well done ! That's still a cracking time.

[@allyson--]

This video is such a cool concept & INCREDIBLY well-made!! I support this notion of still caring for yourself & your past interests even as you have a family!

[@Capital_KP]

This is an inspiration Göran, as a father of two small kids I can relate to the challenge of finding time and energy for myself, especially running. So thanks! :)

Great content goran!

[@studebaker4217]

Very impressive Goran, well done! I am watching whilst in a motivational dip from my running after three hard days sea kayaking (which were preceded by a super 11km run on the coast). You have helped me get my shoes going again (I need it at 72)!

[@filipfred1651]

Really love hearing the shift in motivation, not just getting faster but getting healthier for the ones you love. I feel that doing something you love and to demonstrate to your kids that having fun is a central part of life really helps them in their own quest for finding ways to enjoy life

[@tomaseklund3890]

Göran! Du är en bra inspiration. Fortsätt så. Saknar dina filmer från orienteringsskogen.

Well done Göran. That's huge! I totally hear you. I'm a dad of three and even though they are teenagers now so I don't have this problem any more, but I remember vividly how difficult it was to squeeze in some time for what I love. Top man!

[@Bweyg]

I've been losing motivation getting into running over the summer and haven't really trained that much or took any of my runs very seriously as well as running super slow and super short, after seeing this race though I'm really back into running mode where I want to train to beat my mile pr of 5:26 minutes and finally break 5 minutes once and for all, and than maybe even running a sub 17 minute 5k myself. That's amazing time for not have trained very much and only light 10 minute runs for those 2 years, and congrats on your wife and kids :D

[@realfinex1]

I remember this race is the first time I ever watched you now its been 2 years

[@goranwinblad]

That’s cool to hear thanks for sticking around! 😊

[@hungariantutor]

Dude, although I run myself I mainly enjoy your videos for the posive energy you're projecting. And congrats for the twins, I'm a dad of twins too. Lots of joy, chaos, no time for anything. But mainly joy 😂.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks for that! Cool to hear you have twins as well yeah hectic but wonderful 😅

[@Ilikerunnning]

The data at the race is so useful could you do some more training videos eg training like eliud kipchoge and other unusual training plans or trainining tyoes eg threhsold training

[@FrankMularcik]

Hey Goran, I really enjoy your videos in terms of the running knowledge that you share but also the stories you tell and the way the videos are put together. I was wondering, how do you get the data to show the race course and your instantaneous splits/speeds throughout the race itself? Thanks!

[@OsloVM60-64]

Impressive! I Can confirm that maintaining your level gets harder as years go by😅. The quality of your videos is superb👍

[@goranwinblad]

[@sugarnethi1]

Great video! I hope to eventually get a sub 18 myself. May I ask how you got the Birdseye shots? Did you have a drone with you during the race?

[@MrEsPlace]

Great video. I can relate after taking two years off myself. I can't get my old pace back. Oh well. I can go farther now. Are going to test your distance?

[@JayRappa]

Your VO2 max is still excellent. I can imagine parenting and training must a challenge however you clearly managed to combine the two. Congratulations on both, you seem like a good dude…

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks for that! 😊

[@runeboas6421]

Hi Göran! This question is maybe a bit outside the scope of this video, but you're the only orienteering youtuber I know of. What kind of training would you recommend to become a faster orienteerer? I have no issue running fairly fast and long on the road, but I tire quite fast when I get into the terrain. Would I benifit by focusing more on threshold to move my lactate threshold? Regards

[@jblizzard962]

Your videos are great. I, run at 5:00 before work or with the running buggy sometimes after becoming a dad. Some shorter distances ussualy then before. It's maybe not ideal. Better then nothing. Important to prioritize your family and stay in shape the same time.

[@user-tp5do5tp5j]

love it

[@princetate1586]

The past two years I've been doing at least 40 sit ups a day.... till i saw your video. I hope I made the right decision.😂😅 Greetings from Zimbabwe 🌲🍿👀🇿🇼🇿🇼🌲

[@4541047]

Hi Goran, First great video! Second, how do you create the bottom bar with the map, speed and pace? is it build in the camera? Thank you :)

[@running_degens]

Legend

[@Ivan-hb3co]

Your "bad" form is a great form for the rest of us. I try to run every day on a treadmill for the sake of fitness, usually 4.5 km distance and even if I rested a day or two and then pushed myself you would still be like 8 minutes faster than me.

[@CoolInOlympia]

Oh my goodness! Adorable twin cuties!!!!

[@goranwinblad]

They are! 😍😍

[@runnerup9786]

I know how you feel Goran...but i only have 1. Being there for your wife and kids means it seriously eats into your free time....now my son is about 16momths old i can see that some time is starting to come back...but since he was 6 months old ive barely ran on anything like a regular basis...im just starting to make some plans to get back to something like a regular running, even if its small runs..

[@styx85]

Well done, Göran! Your third km split was faster than last time, but was that because you helped your competitor to not run the wrong way last time? 😅 Maybe I'm misremembering...

[@jonr6680]

Would love to see a heart trace alongside the route.

[@misja4122]

Great job! And how did you get that drone shot during the race? In two weeks I'm going to run my first race in 12 years on the course where I set my 10km PB (41:21). There's no way I'm getting close to that, but I have been training to go below 45 minutes. Hoping to help a friend go below that too!

[@SunnyKindJourney]

I wondered the exact same as it's something I would like to do too with my own races 😄 My guess is that it was filmed either before or after the race as it would be so hard to do meanwhile without a proper team. Also his shadow in the drone shots vs cloudy sky in the race could support this theory but I'm sure Göran can correct me if I'm wrong 😄

[@sertyuik]

I think some drones can be programmed to follow you. Some other KZbin runners do it round a track and you can tell the drone is correcting around bends.

[@magnerugnes]

What software do you use to make the distance/pace overlay? Thanks a lot! 😃

[@platosbeard3476]

How did you get the HUD on the vid? Does your camera tie in to your watch?

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

I wish I could be in that shape even after "2 bad years" :D I remember that I start running more serious when my twins were born, and now that they are 6 things has changed a lot, but new school schedule, early wakeups... We adapt and find the best formula to make it work, right? Cheers!

[@filoreykjavik]

Hey, what camera do you use? Is it GoPro?

[@o-geek7943]

Väldigt imponerande Göran. Jag tycker själv att jag hållit igång träningen ok sen jag blev pappa men det känns ändå att det saknas viktiga pass.

[@danjohnson9821]

Nicely done. Way to keep your priorities straight, with family first.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks!

[@skoms2024]

Do you have any advice on lowering heartrate? Ive been running on and off 4 years(i regularly bike) even done a 50k but hr seems so high with slow pace 6:00/km (170bpm) 😢

[@EdwinChenLoo]

I would try the MAF method. Pretty much build up your mileage with runs at Z3 and eventually your HR will be lower for the same speed. But it requires some consistency with training.

[@patrickhofmann4108]

Göran, How fast was the guy winning the race?

That's a very interesting idea to still do a 10 minute run when you can't fit in anything longer.

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

I'd say that is worth it, 23 seconds for a family. Who wouldn't choose that?

Hardest... so far!! Not to be Debbie Downer but birth is not the hardest thing. (Guess the rest.) Running is/ will make life easier for sure. To keep doing it, that is the challenge.
