Onwards and Upwards,

One thing is for sure putting the kids to sleep lasts longer than an all out 5k
🤣🤣 I’d say one kids book is almost equivalent to an all out 5k
Ha ha ha very good
You have spoken.
In one of the interviews jakob ingerbigtsen said "you know after first 500meters the hell starts" and i was like. Oh thank god its not just me. Youre saying for you 3rd and 4th are hardest. Good job man. Great effort
Boom! What on earth is going on? Suddenly I got goosebumps hearing you said that. I am so motivated to hit sub 20 this year on Sydney Marathon 5K
Hi Nick, Amazing video and excellent effort like always. I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos have helped me so much. I had a 5k PB attempt today at Parkrun and I smashed it I got a 20:34 and I'm pushing for my first ever sub 20. At 3k I heard your voice , I was getting the demons really bad and my legs were screaming and my head was saying no but all I heard was your voice, your commentary when your talking over one of your races about pushing so hard, "this what we train for" fighting those demons and i just zoned out and hung on to somebody and got through it somehow. Thank you and keep up the amazing content.
Amazing to hear thanks for sharing!!
Can’t wait to see you smash 20!
Nice PB!! 🙌🏻
👍🏻Many thanks Nick , all the best 🏃♂️💨💨💨💨
Inspirational, love these type of videos. Well done! Motivating me with my 29min 5k ass haha!
Glad you love them!! Keep grinding! The beautiful thing about a 5k is that you recover fairly quickly 🙌🏻
I love your comment about the 25 demons speaking to you at the same time, I think we as runners almost always encounter the exact same thought process but it's a matter of how we respond that matters! Congrats on that PB!!!!!! So so happy for you!
25 demons a second - perfect description
I'm 23 years old started running in December last year. My aim is to reduce weight I'm 10 kgs overweight. Right now I can run up to 3.6 km non stop.. I'm aiming to run 5k which I have never done in my life. With my current pace when I hit 5k for the first time It would be around 27-28 mins. I follow your content to stay motivated. You will be the first person whom I'll let know when I hit 5k for the first time. Congratulations on this race 🎉.
Well done go clashing and you'll get 5k no bother 28 minutes is amazing time for first 5k I think mine was 37 minutes... My pb is 26.05 but I don't run for speed anymore I run too get the kms in and just enjoy..... Good luck.. 🏃🏼♂️x
@@lizgreen2936 Thank you
Unreal running Nick! The bit about the demons screaming at you really resonated. It’s so hard to ignore them but we find a way. Great video, kudos to the cameraman!
Top race and top analysis. Cheers Nick🎉🎉
When ever i see your running videos i get positive energy to run more one day I'll record my best PB for sure, currently 19:44 in 5 km lot more to go 🏃💪🏻 lot's of love from India 🇮🇳.
Congrats big dog! Incredible running!
Wow boet. You smashed it. Of course that 1st K was insane but the last K was just awesome. Happy for you. Boom shakalaka
Damn that elite group was moving!
I wish the song at the end played through the entire race! 😆 Seriously though, great run Nick - 14:38 is ridiculous even if not a PB!
Well done dude well done awesome mental strength, come on nick 💪👍
Huge congratulations 🎉
Epic race, great video!
Well done Nick, always enjoy your content!
Great result and exciting to watch!
Congratulations man well done! What a commitment!!
Brilliant running Champ! Love these videos! 🔵⚪️
oh!That's great,Nick!!
Love this style of video with commentary 👍🏻 well done
What a run Nick, awesome stuff! So inspiring! 🎉🎉
Hey Nick, subscribed and watching your videos from Melbourne, Australia!
As a fellow park runner, I enjoy your tips on how you break down the 5K race mentally
Amazing to hear. More to come!! Greenings in Aus 🇦🇺
That is so impressive! Huge well done getting 90 age grade!
Thanks so much! First ever 90+ 🙌🏻
Always look forward to these videos bro. I’m just getting back into the 5k after hitting a 16:30. Now I’m up to 22:00. I’ll get back there tho, especially with these motivating videos. Keep it up man 💪🏼
How did you get to such amazing times bro? Any tips?
I appreciate that bro. Yeah man the best thing I done was increase my base mileage. When I ran my 16:30 5k I was doing 35miles a week. I was running 5 miles a day 5 times a week (Monday - Friday) + 10miles on 1 day (Saturday). Also, on every run I did, at every hill I got to I sprinted up it no matter what. I hope that helps man wish you the best. @@JM-rm3lt
@@dennislawless3563 how long did you have to train like that before getting that 5k time?
Well done Nick! I love the narrating as you run and your cyclist got some great video of you too. I love the breakdown of the race and the mental tricks / pep talks that you give yourself as you run. I think sometimes strong competition brings out the best in us too. Those were some insanely fast times. I enjoy your videos and get a lot out of them. Keep up the good work!
Epic bro. I enjoy these videos. Great running.
Great run and great video Nick, well done on a cracking result. 👊💥
Must admit I really do get all your comments about wanting to slow down, the mental battle is so real and something I go through repeatedly.
But, we keep on keeping on. Trusting the process is the thing, eventually the work pays off.
There’s always the next race. 😀
Excellent running Nick ! Well done 👍
Fantastic run Nick!
Outstanding race man! Way to commit after the first couple kilometers! PB or not, anytime you get that close while being older is a win!
Incredible watching you catch those guys at the end!
Superb Nick. I find these full race videos fascinating. I’ve just broken 20 mins and hoping to go low 19s. Thanks for the motivation.
Sub 20! What a sweet feeling! Keep grinding! Keep going! But take a break for a PB pizza every now and then ;) 🍕
Such a great feeling getting sub 20 mins. That was my “lifetime ambition” as it seemed so unattainable.
Of course, now it’s to get sub 19 before I hit 60. Two years to find 16 seconds…😂
@@johnhiggins674 that is incredible running at that age. Well done Sir. I’m approaching 40 and this gives me much hope I can improve for years yet.
@@JM-rm3lt it’s a slow old job, I didn’t start running until I was 48 so you’ve got plenty of time. Good luck. 😀
Unreal content 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
These are my favorite kind of videos!
Fantastic performance! Congrats on getting your first age-grade rating of over 90%. I'm still looking for my first over 80%.
Well done. 14:38 even it's not PB. Its already so much good
NICK NEVER STOPS
Never!! More to come!! Let’s keep grinding! 👊🏻
Good performance
Sound running Nick, savage💪
Awesome! Enjoyed the video. I was willing you to catch that group when you were 1k out. Fantastic will power to dig in and make the catch. Well done
Thanks so much for the support. Appreciate it 🙌🏻
Fantastic race Nick! Congrats on your new Pb 👏👍
Thanks champ. Not quite a PB but very very close and the by far the closest I’ve been in 2 years.
This was weirdly exciting viewing 😅, love a night race too! 💪
Nice running bro
This man will be a masters champion one day
I disagree with ya... Hahaha im not hating or anything, hes absolutely impressive, but there will always be someone working twice as hardwork that he does, they are considered legends 🙌🏼
4 seconds is huge in a 5K, especially at your level!!
Boom Chaka Laka💥 love these videos with commentary on what is in your mind. Im feeling your pain and determination. Really helps other runners to also not break... Winners mindset. Shout out to Tom if it was him with the camera on his skates👍
I’m 12 and running 19:42, this is inspiring!
Your da man🙌
These are my favourite type of videos would love to see another 10k in this style
Looking like I’m doing the London Winter 10k this weekend. So look out for it 👀 🙌🏻
@@justalilbester you going for a pb in this race too? Would love see you getting closer to breaking 30!
@@electro479 I'm going to vlog this one, which means I'll probably run with my GoPro, not sure about a PB, but let's see. Never say never!
@@justalilbester your energy is what inspires me to run, as someone who about the same build it’s really reassuring to see you run these times, im closing in for a sub 20 currently running 20:58 as my 5k pb, goodluck on the 10k and thank you for these amazing videos
Inspirasie meneer!!!! Lekker!!!
Congrats :)
Wow speedy! 🙌🏻
Bravo
I ran 23:26 need to get to 22:00 at next month’s 5k…. I’ll let you guys know how It goes
Hey Nick! What’s the song that plays at 0:28? I’ve heard it in a few of your vids and shazam doesn’t recognise it. Need to add it to my spotify run playlist 😅
It’s awesome hey!!! It’s called Pyramid in the Filmora editing app 🙌🏻
What's up Mr. Bester! Huge fan! I am currently a freshman in highschool. I can run 5k in about 20 minutes with a PR of 19 minutes but there's this kid who can run a 5k at sub 15. I want to catch up to him as soon as possible and Im training to do so. Any training recommendations?
I’ve done a 5k tips video. Have a watch of that. It really should help you a lot. Do a fair amount of training at goal race pace 🙌🏻
Sir Nick are plan a 5k Workd best record,,,,a 5k run best record for you...?
I’d love to have your drip on during my races but it’ll look ridiculous as I come into the finish with my 22 min time.
I've been watching your videos since I started running last summer. I'm a tall and relatively heavy runner being 6ft 3 and 94kg. Just wondered how big you are as in the videos you seem like you'd be tall and relatively bulky for a runner.
I am indeed. A lot taller and more bulky than those I compete against. I’m 6ft 1 and currently weigh 76kgs
@justalilbester doing it for the big guys, love it! Im hoping to break 20 soon for 5k and then push on from there
Well putting my kids to sleep feels more like a marathon 😅😅😅
An ultra at times ;) 🤣
Must be good feeling to run 5km under 15min...that is fast...mate.My training partner in South Africa was also Nick Bester...he was also a beast...Google his name...if you see this comment...
Nick. Can i know what is your race shoes and what your easy run shoes?
Race shoe: Pro 3
Big track session shoe: Prime X
Long run, tempo and everyday shoe: Boston 12
*There’s more but those are the main 3 I’m currently using.
@@justalilbester thanks nick. Have a great day nick❤️
