My next "Race"... - Vo2maxProductions
Intro: This is a quick summary of My next “Race”… from Vo2maxProductions. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points:
- A free global virtual race (5K, 21K, 42K) is happening on May 2 – 8 a.m. Sydney time; participants can run anywhere they have access to.
- Coach Hindi will tackle the 5K by running inside his 38 m² (≈ 400 ft²) studio apartment, marking out a single lap and looping it until 5 km is covered.
- The challenge is all about staying active while quarantined, using whatever space you have—backyard, hallway, or treadmill.
- Practical tip: measure your available space, calculate the lap length, then set a repeat count (e.g., a 10‑meter lap × 500 repeats = 5 km). Keep a steady, comfortable pace; you don’t need race‑pace speed.
Workout Example:
- Measure the longest straight‑line you can run in your home (e.g., 5 m).
- Mark the start/finish (use tape or a piece of paper).
- Calculate laps needed for 5 km: 5 000 m ÷ lap length = number of repeats (e.g., 5 m lap → 1 000 repeats).
- Run the repeats at a comfortable effort (e.g., conversational pace).
- Optional: If you have a treadmill, set it to a flat surface and run 5 km without stopping.
Closing Note: Give yourself a solid 5 K today—whether on a tiny apartment lap or a treadmill—by customizing the lap distance and repeat count in the Pacing app. Have fun, stay safe, and keep moving forward!
