I think this is so important because people post about 5k like it's normal but it's actually an achievement. it's extremely hard

So fascinating from a sports science perspective how someone so elite over a short distance struggles so much (relative to how elite her short distance is) over a middle distance effort. The body is so incredible in how it adapts to meet specific demands.

“What’s the longest you do in training?” “600m” 😂💀

Why not keep the time going and walk for the “break?”

This is actually SO interesting, because I would have assumed that as a sprinter you're used to do hours and hours of cardio (whether it might be running or smthg else), but I'm guessing you're training for explosive workouts instead of sustained ones? Makes me understand why I hate speed work despite having done 6x marathons and loving long runs- it really is a different discipline!

I’m guessing that last 400m was the slowest 400 you’ve ever run! 😂

I think it was the pace. She ran each km pretty fast, for someone who has never done distance running keeping up at the pace is a lot!

Alright, but this isn't a typical pace for the first 5K.

4:15 is a ridiculous pace to go at! No wonder she’s struggling! 🫣 but it’s very reassuring to see some realness, what running 5k is like! 🫶

Respect for doing it and your time was brilliant. Now you guys need to do it the other way around to see how your buddy copes with a full out 400 metre sprint!

Correction: final time was 22:49, I didn’t realise my watch automatically took out the 35s breaks I took 🙈
