Diary Of A Big Lad
When it comes to self-improvement, Chade O’Brien has seen and tried it all. From fad diets and personal trainers to chasing mystical fitness unicorns. However, after more ups-and-downs in the gym than Arnie’s dumbbells, 2022 saw Chade logging what genuinely worked and sharing his success on social media. This evolved into the 'Diary Of A Big Lad Podcast' – an ordinary 'big lad's guide to fitness, sharing nuggets of wisdom from his journey.
Join the North's sweatiest man (and his wobbly wingman, Nico) as they tackle a new fitness topic each week, sifting through the myths to discover what truly gets results. They run exercises, experiment with different methods and interview guests on their ongoing quest to not only finding the methods that work the best for them, but helping you hone in on which ones can work for you!

This episode plays out live through voice notes of Nico's journey up to witness it and keep track, to Nico's (unintentionally very Alan Partridge-esque) commentary, to a long chat with Chade himself about how the run went, how he felt the build-up and execution went, to how it will inform what his next goal will be.
*Apart from, you know, being a Dad and that.
‘Diary Of A Big Lad’ is an Osborne Road Production featuring Chade O’Brien and Nico Diodoro. Theme tune written and performed by Jay Stevens.

I'm on the weather station. So early morning for me, which I'm not used to, but today where everyone's breaking backwards. Should make the train fine.
SPEAKER_03Now, uh, I'm feeling good. I would like to know in response to your recording you sent, did you watch the um video upput on uh Instagram by any chance? Because I noticed a little word in there pushing to the limits. Um, and uh if not, that is crazily weird. And uh if you don't know what I'm talking about, just go and watch my like it's real and it'll make a lot more sense. But yeah, uh safe travels, my friend. Keep sending me these little voice notes, and I'm I'm sure. Um well no, I'll be seeing you soon.
SPEAKER_01You know what? I haven't seen it yet, uh but I just watched it, and that's it's crazy. Um like two taps. Um yeah, it's a good playlist and I can see it. Uh I'm sure the rail's still up for anyone listening.
SPEAKER_03I see what you did there in sync. How long have you been prepping that one?
SPEAKER_02Anyway, on that playlist, if you've got any of your own recommendations, please, please buy them.
SPEAKER_01Uh you've got all covered there. Um If I had to grab one in, I'd probably have born to run by Bruce Springsteen, not just because of the lyrics. And the bird goes. Uh if you need that extra boost, otherwise you're actually smashed that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, and I've been working on uh in the sync.
SPEAKER_03Nearly five minutes long, that song, isn't it? Four minutes on, which is like a quarter of the run. Um which is okay, you know, but I've got I've got to be really selective of the choices, I guess, as well. But then maybe it could be a pre-run warm-up um uh type jobby. Um but we'll see. There's a lot of Rocky to go on. Uh I I suspect that Rocky will end up oh cheeky.
SPEAKER_02Another cheeky little trunk there in the background.
SPEAKER_03What I was gonna say is I suspect that the Rocky theme tunes will make up the majority of the actual run itself, given that it's technically got to be under 23 minutes. Um we've got maybe seven or eight songs to squeeze into that time.
SPEAKER_01I yeah, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_00Uh also sounds to me like you did, in fact, go to maths. Um contrary to some claims made recently on your reels.
SPEAKER_03Hi, B. In case anyone's wondering. Also, I hope whatever you decide to eat from now until after the run, um, you just make sure you bear in mind that the cross from the point of track rates course is McDonald's and that shall be my reward.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that is very important information, which is I um don't want to panic you, but I've nearly missed my train, so I've got no train tonight. So it's pretty bad. Also, don't want to wind you up if I manage to beat your record printing uh platform 8 in a couple of minutes. Um but yeah, if I get a chance to grab something in just a banner or whatever, because uh yeah, I haven't had anything uh breakfast on it. Delay the train. That's the only uh delay today, you know what I mean? I'm not doing well with this tired business, I'm not saying stop it.
SPEAKER_03We will not have any of that negative talk today, sir.
SPEAKER_02We will not have any of that negative talk today, sir. Thank you. Goodbye, thank you. Thank you.
Chade Set's Off (Nico's Voice Recorder Commentary)
SPEAKER_00No, I can only apologize. We are now flying out of uh North Gate at the same speed. We'll be there probably even earlier than we would have been if I'd have left getting to cross earlier. Um talk to you yesterday. Just arrived at uh Pontifract Park. It's all looking good. Chad's ready to go. We're discussing whether the right amount of gloves or jumpers have been worn. He's gone for the no gloves vest short. And sketches train it. Yeah, he's in it always a sketch. He's done a he's done a joyful jump. If he loses any time, it's probably because of that. Anything to say as we're walking to begin the warm-up.
SPEAKER_03Um well uh oh, I'll tell you what I've done is I've um I've set myself a little treat for after I hit the goal. Yes. Um however, uh also a um uh Mr. Ancient. Um if I don't uh do uh the 5k in under 23 minutes, I don't get this treat by the way. So um it's very very vital. Uh but if I hit my goal, uh I'm going to McDonald's after and I'm going to town on that plate. I mean, I'm gonna bring up the menu. They're gonna ask me what I want, and I'm gonna say what, Nico.
Main Bit (Interview With Chade Post-Run)
SPEAKER_00He's gonna say yes, and point at the menu. In case you didn't get the jokes, considered. Yeah, um, so yeah, the stakes are pretty high. Um, although there's a lot in going in your favour, I think. The weather's out. It's a literally a really nice day, which is kind of a surprise. I'm wearing like a winter coat. Uh it's a lot of people around, it's got the vibes, uh, this is the weather of success, that'd say. I'm no weather man, but uh this is the weather of a winner. He's all warmed up. Uh we're on the race course. We've had a bit of a spill already, but we'll talk about that at the end. I think he's good to go. The music started. Don't want to distract him. Yeah, that's why I just got his music on. That proves it, so you know I'm not a liar as well. You can't hear me. Uh he's breathing in, he's ready to go, he's chewing off. Okay, best of luck. Go, go, go! He's off. Keeping the pace. Running, he's sticking to a track. If you don't know the Ponza Fracked, race course, it's really nice. Sort of double path, so you can just kind of run around. I don't really know whether it's going to be like a running track or literally like a race course if you're familiar with Northampton. I mean, Chad trained. You'll know that is literally just a big field because I think it used to be a race track for horses. But this is very, very nice. There's plants, there's a lot of dog walkers around, there's other joggers. He's flying off, I can see him in the distance. He's keeping that pace, which he's been talking about frequently if you follow his stuff. Um Chad is going to it. Feeling good, we'll check in and I see him come back around with another loop. So that's five minutes. This is the last message. I've lost sight of him. Should come running past a couple of minutes. I'm hoping so. Uh like I said, he did look like he was keeping really good pace. That's the score as we're gonna run off into the horizon. Let's see. Uh just to reference something I said earlier that we'll talk about after. Um, yeah, had a bit of a spill on it warming up. Uh it's quite uneven ground. I mean, it's fine if you're paying attention, but there's obviously quite a lot going on. So I don't think it's gonna affect him as he landed on his arm. Uh just to graze, obviously. But yeah, I'm hoping he's not thinking too much about it. What I'm hoping is it means he's gonna focus solely on his footwork. Uh he's gonna be hyperconscious of tripping over, which I don't think I'll slow him down at all. I think I'll hopefully give him wings. Uh I don't think he can get suited for saying that, can he? Um anyway, check in another five or ten. Taste the rainbow. Still can't see him, although this place is massive. I'm starting to get why Chad was telling me to say I should walk the opposite direction now, because that does make sense, don't it? If I'm slowly walking behind him, he's obviously moving past, but if it's this big, uh it's not making it any easier to me, is it? Or sort of run past. But I'm gonna guess because it's five minutes later than the last message, he's making good progress because 5, 10, 15, 20. So he's only got another five minutes, really. So good. Who's past any second? Fingers crossed. Right, I can't see him and haven't heard from him, so I'm gonna assume he's doing really, really well. And he's smashed it out of the park. Done really well. I don't mean he's run out of the park and left me here. Um, although it's quite nice, so it wouldn't be the worst thing. Uh but yeah, I don't know. I think I'll have to find him. I'm gonna cut across the race court. I assume you're allowed to do this because otherwise I'm gonna be walking around all day and I want to celebrate with him because I'm sure he's done really well. If he does run past, obviously get the camera out, but it doesn't seem to have happened, so let's see. Well, there you go. I don't know. Obviously, if you're following Big Lad on the day, you would have seen it on the reels, you'd have seen it on his story. Um I don't know if you want to break the news.
SPEAKER_03Well it's kinda hard because I've been obviously training for this for eleven weeks and to get to the point where you know you've got to do the thing and actually achieve the goal that you set. And you know, for all those people out there that haven't quite met the goal or that put a goal in place and not achieved it. Um I ate in your bucket because I smashed it. Yeah, we've done it.
SPEAKER_00We've done it, it was crazy. What did you do it in? 22? 22 minutes and 18 seconds. Nice. So 22 minutes and 18 seconds, it had to be under 23, so you're well over that mark, easy. You were kind of I think there was some talk about it being a minute, but it doesn't need to be, does it? I mean that's like it just needs to be below 23.
SPEAKER_03So you're well in the mark. Oh absolutely. I mean the grand scheme of things, I was nearly two minutes faster than my original best.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, exactly, yeah, which you're getting already, is like yeah. So it was it was impressive to watch. We've made a couple of bits you'd have heard at the start. Um what did you how did you find it then? Because obviously now we've relaxed a bit, we've had a couple of drinks, we've taken care of a few jobs. But like how how how was it actually when you were doing it? Because you were aside from being very, very fast, like a northern missile, you were uh obviously also very sweaty. Uh there was a little incident at the start, which you wouldn't put any reels that we can talk about, but generally like how did you find it on the whole compared to like a regular run game?
SPEAKER_03Uh so much more adrenaline because the stakes were higher, you know. Um there's been a huge build-off. Um to not actually I don't know, i i there was some there was so much more nerves involved, but then that gave me a lot more adrenaline. Um I think in some ways good and bad. Um it gave me a lot of adrenaline right at the start. But that also meant that I set off a bit too fast.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah, yeah, I was yeah, I was gonna mention that. Because it was fast. Like, I mean at the start I was I I even said in one of the little recordings, like, oh it's his pacing's quite good. I looked down to finish recording. Looked up and like as I described in the thing, the Pontifrax race course is massive, isn't it? It's like a huge you can't see from one end to the other. But you had like already gone around a corner up ahead, so I was like, um I I guess he's pacing himself because he seems to be in the next sort of field.
SPEAKER_03But I guess that was the speed that you needed to be at anyway, because I mean uh I think part of the problem was I was thinking the same thing, you know, with the big course uh Nico was there walking around the course sort of like behind me and for a good majority of the run, I thought I'd I'd I'd caught him up by now. Yeah. Um and I thought I'd c catch him up pretty quickly. Uh and I don't know why I thought that, because he was walking in the same direction for me. I haven't made it made it around the course, so it was actually impossible. But for some reason in my head I was like, why haven't I caught him up yet? But I've not even left the course at this point. So I think when you're actually doing it, your brain starts making crap up and um you end up uh feeling and thinking things that you wouldn't normally logically think because the stakes are a little bit higher. For me, even though I wasn't actually racing anyone else quite physically on the day, and really if I w if I wanted to, no one needed to know that I was doing it, I could have just kept it all quiet. Um actually just the idea of racing against yourself in a sense, uh yeah, it just kind of gives you so much adrenaline. So it was really weird. It really impacts the way that you race it. I think there were moments within me actually doing the wrong where I was kinda like um having to battle with my own thoughts on that. Uh typically very much towards the start and towards the end. But towards the start, I think you're like, alright, calm down, just pace yourself, go to pace, check your watch to see what pace you're running at, and you know, stick to the pace you know that you need to be at. Don't worry about uh trying to go too fast because you might slow down towards the end. And then towards the end where the pace dropped a little bit, yeah, I was thinking, I've got to plug it up here. I must have been running at this pace for the last couple of minutes, and that could be the difference between me hitting the goal and not hitting the goal, I'm starting to I'm starting to lag now and you know I'm starting to feel like I'm not gonna do it. And and again all that adrenaline uh kind of jumped between helping me and not helping me. And generally speaking, it was very different to a normal rocket fight. Because if I did well or not with a normal rocket, it didn't really matter much. But uh in in in this instance, uh it mattered. It made a difference. And the the stakes were even higher because uh I set the stupid way not rewardingly very much so after. Yeah, I set an additional treat for myself that uh if I made the 5k in under 23 minutes, uh since there was a McDonald's uh across the roundabout from where I was running, I would go to town anything I wanted. And if I didn't, um Nico, the wife, Charlotte, uh and the kids would all get a McDonald's and I wouldn't.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, just to be clear, that was your idea as well. It's not that we all got together and like if you don't manage to beat your own personal best, you watch us uh But you did obviously do it. The the break uh there's something you said there, the breakdown was really interesting, wasn't it? Because you showed me about mile by mile. Well no it was kilometer by kilometers, wasn't it?
SPEAKER_03Uh oh no, it was by uh mile by mile.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so the pace there was really interesting because you did do the first bit really fast, no, but then did it fast again. Yeah. So the first two were really fast. But yeah, that's what I thought.
SPEAKER_03The first one was really fast, but then the second one was faster than the first one, which is interesting because I'd halfway through the first mile I'd already realised I'm going too fast.
SPEAKER_00That's what I thought, yeah.
SPEAKER_03But then the second mile I kind of did it again. So I think what's happened is I've I looked at my watch and thought, oh I'm going a bit slower, I better speed up. Yeah. But of course I only looked at the watch for a second and I must have thought my body's not moving quick enough. And um yeah, really strange. But uh hey, it it meant I got a really good time at the end.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, there's a couple of things to be learned as well, I suppose, isn't it? Because obviously pacing was important because they were all similar. I know like the first two were considerably f but like not considerably really, they were just all within uh marginal, but it did show that pacing was important in the sense that you like accidentally set a pace at the start that you could keep up with. It was quicker than your regular pace, but still had the energy at the end to like go the like to push it. It's just gonna confuse the distances even more. I mean like you push yourself at the end and you said you did still get the bit it's not like you would you're burnt out by the time you got to the end. So I guess really it shows that you your body was probably putting more thought into pacing when you were practicing than you might have been giving yourself credit for.
SPEAKER_03I think one of the things I definitely learned was um one to that that you've just said about the pacing. But two, you your body's got so much more than you think it's got. And um whilst you know, uh I might say I paced myself really well, I'd say the last is sort of um just under a mile. I think I told you this thing. Uh I was running past people and I was kind of screaming, ah come on, come on, you got this, come on. Because I could feel myself like feeling like I didn't got this. And um I really had to I've never been on a run and really like you know uh screamed at myself to keep on going. Um so it was really hard. The funny thing was that actually I didn't even need to push myself that hard. I was what what are we talking here? I was forty-two s forty-two seconds uh ahead of the target.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that that's true, isn't it? Which again on that, yeah, I know you were saying well there's a lot of talk before on the buildup, wasn't it, with about the the correct playlist you were gonna use to have certain songs land at different points to try and give you um an o uh a little bit more um but there was uh thanks to the playlist, like an occasion before the run started where you were adjusting the playlist when we were walking around, which obviously I don't know. I mean it didn't seem to hinder you, obviously we'll never know. But I don't know if you want to talk about it. Why it happened?
SPEAKER_03Right. Naturally before I did my run, I wanted to warm up so myself and Nico were just walking at a considerable pace. Um and at the same time I was just organizing my running playlist to ensure that the right songs came on at the right times that I figured I would need additional motivation to push through the paint. And uh I kept having to redo it. During this time I must have uh sort of stepped just over a bit of a hilly rock or whatever you want to call it, a bit of a dip in the park. And I just went down like a ton of bricks, didn't I? And I felt myself falling. So I threw my shoulder sort of towards the ground to kind of protect the fall. Um but I think with the adrenaline itself, and it I I got quite a bit deep, not a deep graze, quite a graze on my all on my left arm and on my left leg. This was before I even started running.
SPEAKER_00Because to be fair, you did bounce up really quickly. It wasn't like you just fell and then landed and it was like, okay, we need an ambulance. But yeah, it was so quick. Um which again, to be fair, it's probably worth mentioning. Uh I know we talked about it a little bit earlier, but the that it's not an even terrain, is it? Uh the I don't know what it's for. Is it for like a bike or like a because it's like two hammer tracks as well.
SPEAKER_03Bearing in mind the the course itself. Um the course itself is is for horses. Oh yeah, that's true. Ricks are uh obviously the the parts uh next to it where uh the the horses got to it wrong. But um when I actually fell, honestly I like I was so good at the time. Not not not because uh I'd fallen but it was the same kind of fall I'd had if I'd just twisted my ankle. So I feel like maybe it kinda happened for a reason because if I'd have stepped there while I was running and done that I'd uh I'd have probably rolled my ankle and the run would be over. And for a moment when I rolled it and I started going down, I felt that ankle go. I thought I had rolled my ankle completely and damaged it, and then the run was over, and then poor Nico has travelled all this way. Well for this very reason, really.
SPEAKER_00Uh it wouldn't even get to witness it. Well it's always nice of a catch-up, but I thought as well, I do wonder if um it was a good thing, because like I was saying, I would imagine at that point even if you didn't realise, you're probably a lot more conscious of your footwork running around. Whereas I feel like if you hadn't, you might have been a bit more like, let's put all my weight forward and just run as fast as I can. Which is why people fall over anyway, isn't it? I've done it everyone's done it, I don't know. If they've run anywhere, they would have done it at some point. So I do wonder if that helped because you'd already kind of uh had a bit of a reminder of what happens if you don't keep your footwork even instead of. Which obviously it was, because like I said, the timings themselves, I know you posted them up, but I'll make sure there's a picture saved somewhere. They're so close to each other. You know, it was not uneven, is it? It's like you said the first two are like a blast, and then the second one's like a little bit where I assumed your body had like properly warmed into it, and then at the end it was like a big push, which again to go back to the original point, what was the uh do you remember what songs played at which point?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, well I purposely um started with some rocket um and then we we kind of mellowed in a little bit to to some standard technical music that I like in a bit of compartment and uh Thunderstruck came on and then It was just more rocky. I think, generally speaking, because of the pace that I did it at, most of the music that got me through was Rocky. And uh yeah, it it did pretty well. Um that could have been a di a bit of a downfall, and probably what had me running so quickly at the start was I was running to Rocky right at the start, and I think maybe what I should have done is kept Rocky theme tracks towards the end where I was really, you know, trying to push through. Um but there was one bit that I was basically I was I I I was shouting out to my dad and saying, Come on, dad, get me through this. Come on, come on, dad, get me through, I've only got I think I I remember looking at it and it was uh I had around uh just over half a mile left when I started asking dad for help. And then I had about a quarter of a mile left, and I was like, Come on, dad, we you got me this far, come on. Uh there's there's like a couple of minutes uh left on the uh uh on the clock here, and then uh I got down to the last fifth of a mile or so. Uh and I can't remember what how how much time it got left, but I think it was that point that my mindset, because when I had about a mile left, I honestly thought I wasn't gonna make it. Right. And then I got down to um having a fifth of a mile left, and then my motivation came back a lot more. Okay, yeah, yeah. And I I kind of thought, do you know what? If I keep going at this pace, I'm absolutely gonna make it as long as I just keep the pace that I've got right now, and um I did, and that's when the shouting started happening, where I was like, ah come on, come on, and the people looking at me, and there was a few people I remember looking, and I could see a mouthing something. I think it was positivity, I think it was sort of like it looked because I could see I was obviously really trying to push myself, uh but who knows? I don't know. Uh but I I'm on a this sounds really cheesy because I've set goals in the past and met them in the past, but this was genuinely a tough goal for me, and I've never run uh that distance at that speed, anywhere near it. Like still to this day it's been at least a minute um slower than 23 minutes. But look, you know, I I'm I I'm talking what we're talking, it was uh a 5k run that I did, which was um on is it oh oh my wow! Actually it was exactly a month ago, 18th of the last where I set my um 24 minutes and 34 seconds and that was kind of like um the pretty much the fastest I've ever done the 5k, that was during training. Um and on race day, I've done 22 uh oh it says 16 there, but I'm pretty sure it's 22 and 18. Yeah, I think it's try to be a bit kind and give me a look at 18. Uh oh oh well actually no actually we look at this uh so it's 22 and 16. I know the entire run was 2218 because I would have paused, but the uh the actual time was 2216 because obviously there will have been a couple of seconds delay for me pressing my watch to stop. Okay, yeah, actually no, yeah, go 2216. That's like that's like a whole that's a whole two minutes off my time. That's two minutes and twenty two minutes and eighteen seconds off my time. That's insane.
SPEAKER_00That's a lot, and I suppose you've done a lot of hard work to get there. It wasn't and again, we've sort of gone into a fair bit of detail about it. Bearing that in mind though, now you've done it. Obviously, this is only a couple of hours later, really, so I guess we'll see what your body feels like tomorrow. What do you feel like is next? Are you gonna try and top that in terms of a 5k? Are you gonna try and do the equivalent of like a 10k? What's the plan?
SPEAKER_03Well, I think my automatic response to you was going to be uh sub-22, sublime.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you're actually gonna however shave off those 16 seconds.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean shaving off 16 seconds. I mean it feels not saying it's it would be easy, but it just feels like um it would be a boring goal to try and go for. So I think the next step is 10k and how what's my best 10k? Yeah, yeah, what's a reasonable set to take off of that? And um I think 10k takes more discipline in the respect of you really got to work on your pace. 5k you can get away with doing a you know a a mile almost, you know, sprinting, yeah, but 10k you can't do that, you've got to really pace yourself if you want to hit the goals you're setting. So I think for me the next step is 10k, and then I might start bouncing between you know, if I hit a goal and it's 10k, I might start bouncing between improving my 5k speed and 10k speed. Or what I might do is go from 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon. Um but I think next step probably best I can do the 10k, and then from there, because the 10k is the most I've ever run, like in terms of distance, I think I might just attempt doing a half marathon. Just, you know. Uh regardless of you know, pace, just see get get it done. Um obviously set myself a goal pace in in so much as you know, try and get it under here, but it's more about just actually getting through uh half marathon in general.
SPEAKER_00Okay, and then so finally when uh what are you gonna be having any any time off in the meantime before that, or are you gonna get straight into it? Straight back into Monday. Uh I'm gonna lose those two minutes again.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and basically I've got 48 hours to decide what my next goal is. Yeah, fair enough. Uh and then it starts Monday. I'll do a bit of a bass run on Monday. Uh whether that's the 10k or whether it's the uh it's gonna be the 10k, I think. I think it's gonna be 10k. I just need to figure out uh what time I should uh go for. I mean Garmin's great in so much that it gives you predictions on what it thinks you can finish it. Now uh it's quite funny actually. As soon as I run that uh race, I went on and had a look at what the latest predictions were. And you know, it's kind of teasing you. So it says my latest predictions if I was to run a 5k would be 22 minutes and one second, based on obviously taking into consideration the fastest I've done it. Yeah, sure. Obviously, it might have been what the elevation was and what my heart rate was like. Basically, Garmin's saying you can do better.
SPEAKER_00Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's well, that's good or bad, isn't it? I mean, I think we can get into that next time when we see how you're gonna be.
SPEAKER_03But on uh according to the you know Garmin, I should be able to do uh a 10k in and around 46 minutes and 15 seconds. I probably wouldn't push myself that far because I've never even done it in under 50 minutes. Sure, yeah, yeah. So I think maybe as a first step I would uh aim to uh run uh a 10k in under 50 minutes. I think that'd be a nice sound goal to go for.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that sounds as realistic as it sounds safe. All the stuff we've talked about, um you've got the data to suggest that you can do it. Unless Garmin is trying to take you out when it's some sort of AI attack. Uh generally, I think, like you said, we've you've done the build-up, wasn't it? He just randomly did a run and beat your um yeah, record. So I reckon you can put both. We've seen it happen. Uh we'll see it happen again. Uh I look forward to seeing how you're getting on in a week.
SPEAKER_03Got any advice for anyone or yeah, you know, and yeah, it uh brinks as a final uh stretch. If you're in your last hundred metres in that race and you want to stop just like I did, I really wanted to stop. Don't stop. Keep running, keep pushing, and keep on swaying.
