He actually ran a 14:59 5K split according to Strava

Dam he humble to

whats his strava?

@sophie.liri. idk but my guess is a timer on a mandatory timer instead of the timer he had on but I got no clue fr

I run in cotton shirts only. lol

There is always that type of kid in small races lol, they drop like rocks tho

[@Enkidugilgamesh2]

Know the guy he runs a 5 03 mile. Went too fast at the start that was in 8th grade

[@TheRealDarklight]

Running a metric distance but measuring the pace in imperial is so disorientating.

[@loerenzpiep3399]

Wait that doesnt wo...oh hang on.

[@Psmerling]

Spelling disorienting as disorientateting is disorienting.

[@kurt2rsenjazz]

Maybe he’s British😁

[@Anthony-mh7ix]

All races are measured in meters with the exception of the marathon. Races 5k or above usually specify distance in both miles and kilometers. Not particularly confusing, even European runners do it this way

[@noone-ld7pt]

@@Anthony-mh7ix First of all wtf do you mean except the marathon? Every marathon I've run has used the metric system, as they should. Secondly, the only Europeans that uses miles in any shape or form are British and some Irish. Don't lump an entire continent in with the idiots that decide to not use the scientific units the entire world agrees upon. Thirdly, the original comment's point wasn't even about the distance meassuring unit, it was about using two different systems for pace and distance. 5k split's nicely into 5 1k splits, funny how that works. Using min/miles is absurd.

[@joshuashaw9384]

Respect! Dude, I did calisthenics at home for years...no real cardio though. Now I'm getting back into the gym and fuck me, I'm at like a 10 minute mile 😂. I was proud of that shit too. My ass is at a fast walk thinkin I'm doing something. I gotta long way to go.

[@RatelHBadger]

You'll get there. Do a treadmill run once a week, and each mile/km depending on how you measure, just bump up your speed a bit. Over time you'll start a little faster, bump up a bit more each interval, finish going faster and have a higher average pace than you realise. You'll be trimming down that per mile pace in no time.

[@melissashower1019]

Course was really long? Wasn’t it exactly 5k as expected?

[@jarinoxborrow6151]

his 5k split was 14:59

[@Heath3250]

Most smaller events aren’t exactly 5k

[@Mike0]

The course is 5000m (5k) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at the Cedar River Trail, Renton. The course is run entirely on permanent paths.

[@Otterable8]

I did a 10k once and at the event they were also doing a 5k. When they were doing pre-race announcements the guy says the 5k course was more like 4 miles. Kind of a big difference if anyone actually wanted to run a 5k lol. It was a trail run so I think they were a little looser with it.

[@tikoblocks3224]

Sometimes 5ks feel long XD

[@olivernielsen1131]

Imagine using mile splits in a 5k race

[@raymonddireito8794]

I mean, your outa line, but your right. I guess my lil American brain just can’t handle kilometers, even if they belong to the objectively better measuring system

[@aperson9641]

It’s pretty common actually

[@thanksmaybe4103]

wtf is a kilometer 🇺🇸🦅

[@Jakawak]

Most Americans log training based on mileage and "x-minute mile" pace notes. Metric splits for a race of a metric distance makes perfect sense on paper, but a 4-minute kilometer pace to somebody that doesn't use that notation really doesn't mean anything to them.

[@timothyfranklin6040]

​@@Jakawak well put. Yeah, mentally we just think of things in terms of mile pace (or per-mile pace), so unless we're on a track doing repetitions of 400's, 800's or 1000's (or whatever else), we're likely off-track and doing things based on mile pace. So thanks for explaining that lol

[@Jon28x]

Dude that’s sick !! like sick AF !! Nice work ima try and hit a 6 minute mile today !!

Great job, that’s a really good time!

[@landonpoland5092]

You know it scares me, you see guys like this super talented, works super hard, dedicated….and then I’ve still seen high schoolers running 5ks at low 14s some people just got that scary good talent ya know

[@garrettmorano3038]

Glad to know that 5k course was longer than the previous 5k course.

[@iPrinceHarry]

Blows my mind seeing people get times like these, I wonder how hard it would be to get to this point for a normal person

[@RatelHBadger]

Time, purpose and effort. Keep training over a long period of time. Train with a purpose, (mini goals) trim a minute off at a time. Put in the effort. On a pace run, go for it, on an interval session go hard, on a wet day go for it. Don't just go out and jog for the sake of it.

[@RatelHBadger]

A year ago, I went for my first 5k run. It was literally a run/walk and took me nearly 50minutes all up. Yesterday I ran 12km in 79minutes. You just gotta keep going.

[@Professional_Dirtbag_Hippie]

The GOAT

[@zbronstein3901]

With altitude training the current strategy is to train in high altitude and rest in low altitude. Spend your days in boulder, but train in the mountains.

[@SkunkApeOnTrail]

Yupp and it's really fallen out of favor for general fitness, it's obviously important for high altitude events specifically but the gains to be had here are extremely marginal and 4 weeks isn't nearly long enough

"The competition"

[@cyclepowered8799]

Stay high, train low.

[@yourlordship1119]

I live in Alberta, Canada. So many people come here to train because of our high altitude. It's weird how much easier it is to breathe at sea level, when you live at 1215m (3986ft) above on the regular.

[@SkylerHumer]

I’m a decent runner good even and my best 5k was mid 17s, absolute dawg

[@ThaCodFathers]

The literature indicates that training at altitude is not optimal. The reduced oxygen levels inhibit your ability to train to mac effort. Instead, sleep at altitude and train at sea level

[@hundredpercentjuice]

[@againstdrivingdrunk614]

summer = slow weekly mileage

[@sfcSpidey]

Take your slow stuff slow and workouts focus on staying controlled until the last rep or two also for mileage just build up slow idk your fitness level but 19:10 is pretty good going into high school it’s what I ran I wasn’t much of a cc runner my freshman year but I did run 2:03 800 and 4:47 mile I think if you have a good summer and try to run 3-4 miles per day then build up you can easily break 18:00 if not 17:30

I’d like to see you run anywhere near a sub 16 5k lol, much less a 15:18!! This guy is killing it. Instead of dragging other people’s accomplishments to feel better get some dopamine from going on a run urself :)

[@Mq6vL9Bu]

Sub 15 is pretty bad ass.

[@ianworley5842]

It's a shame. Americans just don't understand what a parkrun is. It isn't a race. It's a run. You aren't beating other people, the idea is that everybody is welcome and involved. Lift people up instead of putting people down. the aim is to get more people involved and enjoy the environment, the biggest blocker to new people trying to run or exercise is that people are worried about looking stupid for their first run. This doesn't help. Fair play, you are rapid, a brilliant runner. 15:18 is an incredible time. Do it on a track against other people that are competitive. This puts off so many people for a parkrun that it isn't big or clever.
