I've finally understood the serious runner. He's a native new yorker. It all makes sense now

[@LuisBecerra79]

“The excuses are planted” 🤣😂😆

[@mhurley782]

The realizations that come from you are more impactful than the realizations that come from my therapist.

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Where do I send the invoice for my services? 🤣

[@terryfurlong518]

"No human is limited". Proof that Kipchoge does not follow me on Strava. If he did he would know better.

[@Kelly_Ben]

😂😂😂

[@themechanic4409]

The best part of the video was the last picture.

[@shougo4453]

I hope one day to be serious enough to wear Tracksmith..🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@marlinweekley51]

As a serious runner I can’t understand why actual Kipchoge wallpaper isn’t being sold. It would be perfect in the room where I display all my Turkey Trot 5k finisher medals 😆🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@christopherbrand5360]

There’s a business opportunity. Licensing the image might be $$$ though

[@maddenap]

I was already on the subway heading to the start line when you were just waking up 🤣

[@1519Spring]

Neat that your parents got to play themselves (perfect casting!) and you didn’t even have to script their lines, just push record!

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Yes. Completely candid

[@hawaiifranke7637]

The most difficult part pre-race is always to "move things along" ...

[@GotDamBoi]

lol i love the cameo from ur parents

[@ianpayton3639]

Whilst I appreciate the kissing of the shoes, a serious runner will also hug them and ask them to look after you while your out there (apparently)

[@keneticchannel]

At this point, I don't know how Ciele and Tracksmith feel about his use of their brands in these videos. 😆

[@TheSeriousRunner]

If I ever hear from them, I’ll let you know

[@100maxPower]

Can't wait for some serious runner Olympics videos🙏

[@TheSeriousRunner]

I wonder which brand will step up and sponsor a trip for me to go 🤔

[@shayneknox6247]

Amazing 😂

[@TimothySSwan]

THANK YOU! My wife just doesn't understand why I need to go to the bathroom 3 times before I go out for every run. Now all I have to do is convince her to subscribe to your channel...

[@TheSeriousRunner]

This channel is an educational resource for runners and the people who have to put up with runners.

[@kh1269x]

I agree. "Race day is sacred".

[@MaximusTCR]

Seriously wholesome.

[@milanh1349]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!! 😳 made my morning

[@justriguez]

I got into the Brooklyn Half with a lottery like a hobby jogger, if only i knew to keep my eyes out for serious runners like you😔

[@svenja5596]

Success on race day starts in the bathroom 🥳

[@djguapo]

Not the BAA reference! 😆

[@elliotb1616]

My favorite sub-elite influencer

[@mbird01]

Aita for finding this video relatable AF?

[@harmony-one741]

this was such a funny video 😅 😆

[@TheSeriousRunner]

thank you! 🙏

[@PoetWithPace]

Coffee to “get things moving” is so old skool…. Apparently rice pudding and coke is the way ahead for pre race breakfast 🤪

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

I stand by my morning espresso. Anything “better” would be too much of a good thing 😂 though rice pudding and coke would certainly be a last-minute carb boost!

[@PoetWithPace]

@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 indeed, too much of a good thing 🤣🤣

[@TheSeriousRunner]

as a serious runner, I value tradition... except when it comes to advancements in bouncy super shoes

[@PoetWithPace]

@@TheSeriousRunner you are right Stephen! I feel a collaboration coming soon, where we can incorporate this classic 60s song kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGK2eKmkq7KMra8si=K3HkghjJ4IJ-OYQS

[@jeffreyclarke4811]

1:22 very impressive! Mission accomplished?? lol

[@TheSeriousRunner]

yes, goal was sub 1:25. now was I sandbagging? who knows. that's for you to decide

[@ianclifford3947]

I 100% guess how fast someone is based on the shoes they are wearing

[@rahilarious]

what about barefoot guy?

[@neilkearney6822]

Was it you that left that "package" all over one of the corral porta potties??

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Moving on to the next comment…

[@theathletearchives]

Best thumbnail ever

[@michaelsesler1158]

always entertaining. are they your real parents or Serious Runner approved stand-ins? 😆

[@TheSeriousRunner]

They are seriously my parents

[@perryanderson9335]

I do remember your parents being disappointed when I said I had to go to bed the night before NYCM too 😂 You can’t put a price on the epicness … of their location

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Serious AirBnb

[@A_SEGA_Dremcast]

Only unserious runners don’t have Kipchoge as their phone’s wallpaper. Anything else is a waste of pixels.

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Who else would you want to see 400 times a day when you check your phone

[@A_SEGA_Dremcast]

@@TheSeriousRunner You, of course!

[@yumistargazer2456]

A serious runner makes sure his mom also wears cool races apparel (Pikes Peak) 😊

[@TheSeriousRunner]

she was *not* coached to wear that 🤣

[@TheTeriyakiBeef]

how does a serious runner not post their finish time?! (congrats btw)

[@christopherbrand5360]

Odd watch model for a serious runner... looks like something from April 1st

[@jesssweeney1047]

Dear Serious Runner: can you help me race under 120 for the half marathon but at 6:40 minute miles?

[@wordmunger]

Most importantly: did you NYQ?

[@TheSeriousRunner]

as far as i can tell, yes (the rules are written slightly unclear)

[@hornedfrog04]

So did you PR? 😁

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Not this time. But qualified for NYC in 2025 (I think)

[@hornedfrog04]

@@TheSeriousRunner Congrats! I saw that was one of your goals too. Keep up the great work👍

[@bkhowson]

Looks like you did (M38 1:23), even ignoring that you could turn 40 by Nov 2025. Congrats!

[@joelmadden2305]

Seriously my girlfriend gets 1 kiss before a race my shoes have no limitations.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Yeah, congratulations Stephen!🎉

[@christiankolstad7685]

Wait what? You record the race on your watch? That is extra grams you don't need. All in that search for a PR

[@TheSeriousRunner]

How do you reconcile that with needing to post on Strava??

[@wk633]

@@TheSeriousRunner You find someone else who ran the same time and have them include you as a running partner.

[@Vo2maxProductions]

Wait...you weren't seriously racing a half with a fanny pack full of gu now were you?! (that's for hobby jogging ultra-trail runners!)

[@TheSeriousRunner]

talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
