10KM Race Day | Sub 42 & Podium Attempt

One week after my Sub 20 5KM attempt, I wanted to see what kind of fitness was still left in the tank while everything was peaking. Instead of backing off, I decided to test myself again. This time in the 10KM with a PR and podium attempt This video documents the full experience leading into race day. From how I fueled the day before and the morning of the race, to my thoughts on pressure, performance, and learning how to compete with expectations. I also talk about investing into running gear, building pre race rituals that actually help, and the mindset shifts that have made running more sustainable for me long term. The race itself became more than just chasing a time. It was about seeing what happens when preparation, consistency, and confidence finally start lining up. What’s inside the video: • Race week nutrition & fueling • Morning of race preparation • Thoughts on pressure and competition • Advice on investing in running clothes • Pre race rituals and routines • 10KM race footage and breakdown • Post race reflections • What’s next for my running journey Still a long way to go, but this feels like another major step forward.
