This is how a champion fuels up. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes vlog from the British Championships in Birmingham, follow Josh in the final hours before stepping onto the line for the 5,000m - a race that means more than just a time. This is the national stage, and everything matters. From breakfast choices to warm-up rituals, every move is deliberate. Go beyond the stopwatch and see what it really takes to fuel the body and the mind before racing the country’s best. Watch what the cameras usually miss: • The race-day routine dialed to perfection • The fuel, the hydration, and the timing that makes all the difference • The focus in every bite, stretch, and stride • The calm before the storm - and the fire that follows No hype. No distractions. Just Josh, locked in, chasing a title. This is Birmingham. This is the British Championships. This is how you fuel for 5,000 meters of everything you've got.
