Intro: Looking for a breakdown of My next “Race”… by Vo2maxProductions? Here’s your cliff notes version so you can get straight to the workout. The full video has all the juicy details, so watch that when you can.

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 strategy? Tackle the 5K from his 38 m² (≈ 400 ft²) studio apartment by mapping one lap and looping it until he reaches 5 km.
• The core idea is straightforward: keep moving with the room you’ve got, whether that’s a yard, a hallway, or a treadmill.
• Here’s the formula: measure your space, determine lap length, then multiply to reach 5 km (example: 10‑meter lap × 500 repeats = 5 km). Pick a steady pace you can sustain; racing speed isn’t the goal.

Workout Example:

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

Closing Note: Get your 5 K in today—whether that’s circuits in a tight apartment or steady miles on the belt—and use the Pacing app to dial in your lap distance and repeat count. Make it fun, stay safe, and keep progressing!
