The start of Mid Cheshire 5k and the first 5 minutes at 3.5km

Right, this one’s a bit of an odd clip but I thought it was worth sharing anyway. It’s the start of the Mid Cheshire 5k, followed by the first five minutes I managed once I hit the 3.5km mark.

There’s not a lot of context I can give you beyond that, but if you’ve ever wondered what a 5k start looks like from the inside, or fancy seeing a bit of the middle section of the race, this gives you a flavour of it.

I know it’s a shorter watch than usual and I’ve not gone into detail about how the race played out overall, but sometimes it’s nice just to capture a snapshot rather than the whole thing. Every run adds to the streak regardless, and this is just a little window into one of them.

Have a watch when you get a minute, it’s only a short clip but I hope it gives you a sense of the race.

From the athletes I coach

2:59:18 marathon

Manchester Marathon, April 2026

“Gareth took the time to understand me, adapt my training when needed, and support me through the ups and downs of a demanding marathon block. The sessions were clear, easy to follow, and gave me the structure and confidence I needed to keep progressing. His advice, flexibility and encouragement helped me become a better, stronger and more consistent runner, and ultimately played a huge part in helping me finally achieve my sub-3 marathon goal.”
