How I Ran A 27:38 10K | The Valencia 10K 2026

I ran 27:38 at the Valencia 10K, finishing 14th overall in one of the fastest fields in the world. Lined up alongside world record holders and Olympians.

In this video I break down the full race weekend:
- My training and build-up leading into Valencia
- Fueling and nutrition strategy for a half marathon at 2:45/km pace
- My pacing plan and how it actually played out
- How the Valencia 10K felt from inside the elite race
- What’s next after a 27:38 10K?

I raced in the Puma Fast-R 3, which right now I think is the best road racing shoe available — light, responsive, and perfectly balanced for this pace.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, training for your own half marathon, or just curious what elite racing looks like from the inside, this vlog shows it all.
