I Let My Dog Pick the Pace: No Watch 5K Race and a PB Attempt

Описание: Welcome to the ultimate test of internal pacing: the "No Watch" 5km Championship at Berlin's iconic Tempelhof airport!

Every runner had to submit a predicted finishing time beforehand. My prediction was a very ambitious 19 minutes and 19 seconds. But once the gun goes off, all feedback vanishes: no watches, no GPS, and no pace data! You run purely on instinct.

Join me and my co-pilot, Amelie the dog, as we tackle this flat 5km. Will Amelie's focus be ruined by rollerblades, flying kites, or the massive headwind Tempelhof is famous for? Will my fast start lead to disaster later on?

See if running with literally no landmarks results in a brilliant performance or a massive pacing fail! The goal isn't to be the fastest; it's to be the most accurate.

Watch to the end to find out our final time, the difference between our prediction and reality, and how we ranked in the overall championship! Shout out to Dominik, who managed a near-perfect prediction.

Thanks to the volunteers from Berlin Harriers who organised and made this race possible!
