Just won my first triathlon super sprint. Watching your running videos helped me to improve my running pace dramatically. Thank you

You and the red headed guys stride is so comfortable. Almost makes me think I can do this. Although I’m the one that just cheered you on the entire race from my toilet.

It’s crazy. I know you are pushing as hard as you can, but you make it look very easy. I run in my neighborhood and when I push as hard as I can for a couple minutes my fastest pace is still above 4:00 min/km.

Man that was such a measured race, the last 20 metres, red shirt emptied his tank and I feel you kept some back. I would say that it from being ‘race rusty’. Red shirt looked a proper scrapper, you looked amazing all the way through, you were carved up by the eventual winner, he ‘wanted’ it more. Also, the ginger fella, smooth like chocolate and was prepared to do his own thing. You’ll get there Besty, will improve after each race, don’t be afraid to lose that great form in the dying moments to grab that win. Love your channel, looking forward to more of the same! 😊

Hey Nick. I just wanted to say thank you and congratulations. You truly have a gift. You're so inspiring and you're right . We should keep striving and progressing even as it gets hard because our opportunity for greatness would never come. Very fast time. Congrats man. Enjoy this moment and remember they are more to come.

Amazing run. That last 100 to 200m was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I myself just did 5km = 17:31 and converted a 10km = 36:53. 1st sub 37min for the 10km Sunday 30-06-2024. Thats where I am at since I started running in 2021, and thats why I am so impressed by the times you run. But yeah amazing run Nick, well done and GO BOKKE 💪💪!!!

Amazing run Nick, so close at the end but a fantastic time especially in 27C heat. I love hot weather but my running really suffers when the temperature climbs and that day was suited to drinking beer than running! Best wishes for the next race.

You were right about Jack. He has a kick. He did drop back a little but I think he was conserving energy. I love your positive attitude and love for the sport. You put it all out there. You worked hardest. Jack just had the sprint.

Love these videos - so eye opening and raw. Incredible stuff

Great stuff Nick!

Brilliant video Nick, best of your racing ones, and awesome run too, congrats!

Total time clock! 🥳🥳🥳 Thanks Nick 🙂

What a race! Congratulations!!! I confess the forth guy did impress me as he kept his pace around 3'00" for solid 2k as a very large guy. Jack's march looks quite high to me. Guy lifts his knee up so much that makes me feel tired for him.

Loving the race and park run commentarys

Wow Nick what a race! Well done mate. Love stamina and fight right to end❤

Also finding it hard here in Malta to train in summer ....that's why we ease off from running and do more crops training cause 32 degrees ain't no joke here .....I m also working a bit on my diet as I've gained 6 kgs since last March , fromm 66 to 72 kgs and that's not helping my heart rate either , all the best Nick love your content 🎉

That was a monster kick! Really impressive stuff.

What a race, Nick! Always feel so inspired watching how easy you make it look, as well as talking about it so passionately too. It does wear off quickly though, when I go to try it 🤣

This hurt just watching !!! Amazing speed Nick !!! 🎉

Brilliant race and finish congratulations

What incredible race and wow the finish between you two guys was phenomenal. Edge of the seat stuff. Brilliant time Nick, well done 👏😎👍

I tell my kids that it isn’t about where you finish (in this sport), but how much better you did. Nick, you’ve always been wanting to run sub 3 pace and that is exactly what you accomplished!

Great race! Well ran bro 👍

I think Nick likes running against Dulwich Runners! He often seems to pick the races when it's a big DR turnout like the Parkrun from last place in the spring. Great to see the fight at the sharp end, I've often run in the same races as Jack, but too far back to see the battles.

Great race! I’ve noticed that you have a very efficient running style with not much knee lift (probably ideal for marathons) whereas the guy in the red top seemed to have a higher knee lift and was probably able to generate just that bit more power at the end. You were both impressively fast though. Thanks for this video. 👏👏

Nick, you looked very relaxed and in control the whole way. Perhaps the shoes helped

It probably felt so hard bc you went out fast and everyone drafted off u if you go out fast for the first 100-200 m then settle in then you will end up in 2nd or 3rd and can draft the whole race till u kick and you could win pretty easily and get a pr easier too. That’s what Parker valby did yesterday and she got out kicked

Lekker stuff 👏🏿👏🏿

Awesome work as always Nick. A quick question if you don't mind. When training to run a particular pace in a race, say 5min/km for a marathon, is it best to do your speed workouts at that goal pace, or at a fast pace, say 4:40/km, with the idea that if you train at a pace faster than your actual goal pace then it will be easier to run at that goal pace in the race? Or is it best to stick to training at your actual goal pace?

@justalilbester

Yes for sure, always good to do your speed work at faster than goal pace. So come race day it feels a lot more comfy.

Howzit man! That was an amazing run you just showed us! Well done, it's truly inspiring. A question that's a bit off topic; what is your view on curved treadmills and do you ever incorporate them into your training? Boomshakalaka!

Bester, to be fair - that guy who beat you used your body to draft the whole race and he also carries a lot less muscle mass than you. But let me note that he also had better kick form. He really drove his arms and had exaggerated upper body movement, which really activates the posterior chain and allows for strong powerfull strides.

@saljablo2767

On the next race change tactics and let others lead so you save energy for the end 🔥🔥🔥 Great running!

What’s the program to show running statistics in video?

What shoos were you using?

Shoe choice was a correct one. The only real thing I may of done different is maybe the first 30 seconds of the race see if any of the other competitors took the initiative and lead. Then could of took a look who your competition was and got a break from the head wind. But I'm by no way anywhere near a runner you are so what do I know. 😂
