Breaking 30:30 | Telford 10k 2025

I raced the Telford 10K Road Race and came away with a new personal best of 30:29!

That time breaks the 30:30 barrier for the first time and knocks 20 seconds off my previous PB. In this video, I take you through the race, the key moments, and how it felt pushing right to the line.

Okay, let's get out for the Walmart. We're in a bit of a rush, so we'll have a chat maybe before Quick intro here in Telford. 10K obviously wave 1 Elite Field. It's stacked. We're going to get after it. That was nice. Yeah, it's stacked, man. Uh haven't got much time, so we're just going to lock in and hopefully a lot of race footage. We got all the camera crew here. That wind, >> isn't it? It's cold. >> Hello. >> Hello. Okay, I think we change into the race shoes now. >> Yeah. >> Get the Diodora Garac carbon twos on. >> I feel like both theor but different. >> Even got Diodora socks on. >> Yeah, I thought I'd match it all with the >> orange. Okay, so we're about 7 minutes out. Walking to the start now. >> Fresh bowl cut. >> He was pissing me off in parking yesterday. So I whacked the ball in it, cut it. But yeah, if you're thinking, Aim is sub 3030. But yeah, ready to roll the dive. Let's go get it. It's not exactly a model. again. Come on, Connor. Awesome. Go. >> Yes. Come on. Come on. Watch your feet. Well done. Well done, Cal. Woo! Amazing, guys. Amazing. Well done. Awesome running. Awesome running, Connor. Awesome. Oh, yes. >> Come on, Connor. Looking good, Connor. >> Go on, Connor. cow corner. Phenomenal running, Connor. You're doing amazing. Well done. Looking strong. Looking really strong. He's come all the way. >> Brilliant Connor. Brilliant. Come on. Last bit. Last bit. >> Come on. CON. PUSH. CONNOR. COME ON CONNOR. HONEY. 42. >> You're all right. >> Keep it going every 31 minutes. Thomas, >> Steven Barry, >> you okay? >> He's done it. He's got me. >> Just finish. >> Tom Higgins just going in there. >> Daniel Reed, Adam, >> Thomas. Great. That was didn't feel good from the start. Did you hurt yourself then? You have, haven't you? I feel okay. >> Just in a lot of pain. >> I just didn't feel right from the start. >> I can't even see. It's all blurry. >> Yeah, I didn't feel right from the start. It was just hard work. But I think I ran all right. What was the time? >> I have no idea. >> Oh [ __ ] I've even stopped my watch. >> I'm not sure. >> Yeah, we'll have to check back in. But that was brutal, man. That fuel is crazy quick. You just get dragged and carried and battered around a little bit. Man, >> do you even know what I ran? I have no idea. >> Job done. managed to get around. So, I have no idea what I ran. Tried to load it, but I can't find it. People are saying I ran around 30 30 something. So, if I did, that's good. But it come at a cost. Didn't feel great from the start. I uh I think I passed out at the end to be honest. I remember trying to stop my watch and then all of a sudden the sky was above me. Um so, yeah, bit of a weird feeling, but dug deep, got the job done. Hopefully come away with a PB. New course was different. and I thought it was harder. Um, but you get dragged around. So, going to clean myself up. Wave two's just started. And then we've got Tom in wave three, Mark in wave four, and a lot of others we know, so we'll cheer them on. Lovely stuff. I'll check back in after, but didn't feel great. Hopefully, there's more in the tank, but we ran all right. I think >> it's just so strange. Yeah, it's proper like out of body. didn't feel I didn't feel I just felt like I was watching myself from a third person. It was such a weird feeling, >> but somehow I was just clipping off like three O's. I didn't even know how but >> that was so strange. >> Thanks. My balance is bad enough any stumbling over there. >> But no, we'll take it. I have honestly no idea what I ran. >> That's definitely a PB. >> I think so. Yeah. >> Yes. the boys. It's the day after Telford 10k and I thought I'd sit down and reflect on yesterday's performance. So yeah, it was pretty decent. Managed to come away with a 22nd PB running 3029. So chip time was kind to me. Dipped under that 3030 barrier and hit my B goal. As for the day, didn't feel great going in and as we' seen in the race, it was all a bit wavy, man. It was just weird. Um but yeah, managed to grind it out and come away with something decent. Little bit of dramatic. over the line as well as I I took a dive back in the foot days. Definitely would have been yellow carded for that. Over on Instagram, I uh put a story up asking for people to predict my time and a few people got it right. So Dean Ryan, Jude White, Martin Clark, Ben Clarage, they all got it right. Ben actually ran really well on the day. I managed to get one up on him. Uh so that was nice. And then Eden also got it right, but I'm sure she cheated. I think she put it in after uh I told her what I ran in Telford, but yeah, really happy with how the day went. Um I know there's more in the tank, so stay tuned for another fast 10k in the new year, but we'll be dropping down to 5K before that um in Arma. I need to get some redemption there.
