Want a breakdown of “My next ‘Race’…” by Vo2maxProductions? Here’s the cliff notes so you can get straight to the workout. The full video has all the details.

Key points

• On May 2 at 8 a.m. Sydney time, a free worldwide virtual race kicks off (5K, 21K, and 42K distances). You run it wherever you have space.
• Coach Hindi’s plan: tackle the 5K from his 38 m² (≈ 400 ft²) studio apartment by mapping one lap and looping it until he reaches 5 km.
• Keep moving with the room you’ve got, whether that’s a yard, a hallway, or a treadmill.
• The formula: measure your space, find your lap length, then multiply to reach 5 km (example: 10-meter lap × 500 repeats = 5 km). Pick a steady pace you can sustain.

Workout example

1. Find the longest stretch you can run indoors (say, 5 m).
2. Mark where you start and finish (tape on the floor works).
3. Calculate repeats: divide 5,000 m by your lap distance (a 5 m lap means 1,000 repeats).
4. Run those repeats at a conversational effort.
5. Treadmill option: skip the calculations, set it flat, run 5 km straight through.

Get your 5K in today and use the Pacing app to dial in your lap distance and repeat count.
