Great 800 runner are doing some 400 training at some points in year. Juantorena ran 44.26, J. Cruz 46.0, Seb Coe 46.82, rudisha 45.5, Kipketer 45.4.

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

post-worlds 400 is the move

[@adventurehikerunandbike9375]

@@ClaytonMurphy800 Looking forward to seeing that. Have a great year!

[@e3017]

You are an inspiration Clayton! I hope you enjoy as much as we do watching what you do for us, thank you!

[@scottholland2558]

This was such a fantastic idea . . . the videos are incredible for us that follow elite track and field to see a glimpse of what it’s like to train and compete at the level you are but this was next level! The mic’d up videos need to be a regular thing my friend! Good luck in the upcoming races and at USA’s!

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

exactly why I do it! love sharing what I can!

[@scottholland2558]

@@ClaytonMurphy800 Wonderful! Grateful for the response and the time taken to send it! I was just thinking that you are a natural with the mic!

[@tomatoboy4498]

@@ClaytonMurphy800I am an 800 meter runner myself and trying to learn. Is it possible that you can go into more detail in your videos? For example-your warm up stretch routine or what you consume before a race.

[@ronbunn1349]

This was so cool. Any content featuring pros interacting with each other is really fascinating to me. I know it’s an individual sport but I still am very curious about friendships/rivalries between various pros who see each other on the circuit

[@pamelabooker7838]

This is honestly my favorite video from you ever lol super fun, light, and honest

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

more of this to come!

[@fabs21]

Thank you for this video 😁 it shows how much fun running should be and that it's not that deep

[@riverwood_creations]

I love these kind of first person videos where professional athletes take to social media to show others that they’re human beings just like us. It shows that they’re not all robotic like we assume they are. It makes the gap between the average human and a professional athlete seem just a little smaller.

[@wesleytwiggs7687]

This is the kind of content track and field needs more of.

[@mason7642]

really appreciate the vids gives the highschoolers like me an insite into what takes to go pro

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

stoked that you're enjoying the videos!

[@Monstr_kev]

Love the narration

[@Pinkpalmpuffmore24]

Hey Clayton! I’m Claire. I live in Minster, not too far from you. I run for Minster in track and cross country Jr high. I love watching your content because it shows me what it takes to get to your level. Hope all is well. Claire

[@jacobreesmontgomery]

love this

[@ericklein435]

You should do that 400 now! Would love to hear another micd up and hear you mix it up with the sprinters. Surely you'll run a 46 low at least right?? And keep this content coming. In the long run its going to draw so many more eyes to the sport with a behind the scenes with a runner of your caliber. Lastly USAs is cutthroat and you're still a top 10 in the world 800m runner for sure. Keep your head up champ 🏆:)

[@xoiluvduckiesxo]

Thanks!

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

You're so welcome

[@AmarKumar-vs2hc]

[@passionofathletes809]

Owsam 🎉

[@angieraines3621]

Could you do a video for youth 800 runners?? Workouts

[@kimvillasenor3]

Thought his thumbnail said BOOM, lol

[@tylerstogsdill]

Is there any particular reason you wear an arm sleeve? I like it because it keeps me from leaning too far left around the curves and cramping up. Besides that idk what the purpose would be?

[@billsanders8526]

Great video. More of this please. Mic’d up in a race??? Everyone else in the race will wonder who the hell you’re talking to but…

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

👀

[@angieraines3621]

Clayton are you going to be in Oregon for the usatf youth junior nationals in July??? My son runs the 800!! He’s 9!

[@ed_gaa6289]

I thought you didn’t use super spikes Clayton ! Lol

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

oh is that what I said in that video? 😂

[@williamsmith1451]

What food do you eat pre and post race? What recovery drinks do you take?

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

might make a video for this but it looks different depending on where in the world I am

[@haydenschmidt5875]

Come run the Anna Invitational again

[@Coach_Beth]

So how long before your race did you do this? Then I’m wondering what you repeat just before the race…?

[@jado8062]

is this the day before race or day of?

[@Legendazdubce]

I notice you dont do much static stretching, whys that? Any specific reason?

[@MikeHamMan]

Yes, please wear sunscreen, everyone. My dad was diagnosed with stage two Melanoma a few months ago. They had to cut his face open... about a 4 inch radius around his right temple, and they cut all the way down to the muscle. The biopsy afterwards showed that it was 2mm away from passing through his skin and into the lymphatic system. When that happens, you got a potential new set of problems. Dad never wore sunscreen his entire life. The docs said that they were surprised he didn't get cancer much, much earlier based on the condition of his skin. His margins cleared, and he's cancer free right now, but it was not without its struggles. He had a plastic surgeon cut open his neck to take a lymph node biopsy and reconstruct his face after excising the cancer. The recovery from that is no joke, so please wear sunscreen, PLEASE!

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

Great choice choosing PR over Doha! I know you’re pretty active on the circuit but why did you opt out from Doha?

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

a few different reasons but being able to bring my wife Ari along as well as Alex to shoot all these videos definitely helped!

[@CoachHudgens]

Got to take a drink of the water before mixing

What do you recommend running shirtless for?

for views

[@niceguy3148]

im tired of getting mogged by the sprinters

[@Tamisvideodiary]

I never understand why people don’t hit the thumb ups. Like is it going to kill y’all. So much of y’all are certainly watching so why not hit the thumbs up. Just felt like saying that cause I find it annoying

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

thanks for helping out!
