A Serious Runner Plans a Run on Strava

[@SebastianTrii]

As a serious runner myself.. I made a segment in my back yard so I'm always hold the KOM

[@benviolot8116]

As a professional hobby jogger I approve this video. Thanks Stephen for the great content!

[@Shevock]

That heart wrenching cello at the end!

[@Nonixification]

As a serious runner I always make sure the workout part of the run is in tailwind.

[@bjelar]

...and write something like "Phew, hard battle in the headwind today." in the strava description?

[@Martha-fluterunner]

As another Serious Runner, Strava just came in handy to qualify me for a good wave at BolderBoulder. I submitted my ~HM leg of the CIM Relay and now I don’t have to run my first BB with the “hobby joggers”. On a more sincere note, Strava has been nothing but fun and supportive as I’ve cemented friendships with runners all over, some of whom I’ve met in person and many others who I hope to meet in the future. We are not competitive; rather we inspire and motivate one another. Martha

If I'm being serioius (or unserious) yes, there is also that side of strava! But for the sake of this #content...

[@christopherbrand5360]

So much Strava! Love “slowcial”

[@globerunning1437]

Very entertaining as usual. You f..waisted my time again!! It’s dope , I can’t help it. Keeps on coming back. Thanks bud for making us 😹. 🇨🇦

[@StellaKe8869]

"Slowcial" run made me crack up. I'm going to start using this title lmao!

[@guillaumesperlich5749]

Very funny ! You deserve more followers !

[@TheSeriousRunner]

It's funny, I was thinking the same thing.

[@jackzamary7420]

This made my day! Great work!

[@dannyjacobs6734]

The intense music drives home just how serious we serious runners really are! 😒

[@christiankolstad7685]

Don't know how I got into this channel, but this guy is funny

[@TheSeriousRunner]

I dont know either but welcome!

[@derrunn3r613]

I seriously can't wait for some "Serious Runner" or "Professional hobby jogger" gear (hats or shirts or whatever) to show my seriousness.

[@stevelee8539]

I second this. Would definitely buy 😂

[@StellaKe8869]

Also FYI if you made merchandise that said "hobby jogger" I would definitely buy some!

[@AD-xn4yw]

I'd love to know the serious runner's take on strength training (and going to the gym as a runner)

[@Martha-fluterunner]

He got close to that on the video about being on the treadmill next to others in the gym (in this case, Sage C!)

[@TheSeriousRunner]

OK, on my list. thanks!

[@chch242]

You look skinnier. That's commitment to seriousness.

[@TheSeriousRunner]

This is the nicest comment that I've ever gotten. But it's not true. A recent post on Letsrun suggests you shouldn't have a BMI above 19. And well, I'm way over that. But I appreciate your kind words.

I applied for a 2 chevrons year ago, still waiting to hear anything.

Can't really relate to these because I'm so sub-sub-sub-non-elite, but I

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Its good that you know your lot in life.

[@msujdog]

As a serious runner, I will find 10 segments on Strava to run in a row. I'll race them as hard as I can, be so out of breath that I have to walk to the next one, then hype my run as "being amazed that I found the strength to be the fastest runner today on ALL TEN SEGMENTS!!!!"

[@TheSeriousRunner]

🤣🤣🤣 That's some serious strava flexing.

[@allinotte4263]

Also… my ex made segments into the runs we used to do and I get notifications that his new gf just became the leader of a segment I didn’t even know existed.

[@TheSeriousRunner]

WOW thats cruel

[@benviolot8116]

Wow! I'll be right back, I have segments to create.

[@allinotte4263]

@@benviolot8116 lol 😂

[@TheSeriousRunner]

🤣 introducing "revenge segments"

[@allinotte4263]

@@TheSeriousRunner it’s an entire new video 👍🏻 it worked for him because we ran in a remote area where nobody else would normally run. So take that girl to the woods, dump her, then create segments for your new younger and faster gf 😝

[@marlinweekley51]

Strava called. I yelled “Cartwright!” But nobody answers so i hung up. 😆🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@cakej1]

You're a local legend

[@mikes4006]

Wondering what was originally said where the “so hobby joggers can feel good about themselves” was mentioned. 😂

[@TheSeriousRunner]

The mic had rubbed weirdly against my (very expensive) Tracksmith singlet, so I tried to dub it over. Wow you caught that. I feel ashamed. I might not make another video ever again

[@elizabethobihfrank]

Hahaha, I hope Strava calls you!😂🤣😂🤣🥳

[@TheSeriousRunner]

me too! Nothing yet though.

[@hmunoz314]

[@today-nl]

So fun and true! I have just disconnected Strava and been enjoying easy jog for a few days.

[@TheSeriousRunner]

I want to make a documentary about you.

[@danielzhou13]

If its not on Strava it never happened.

[@f2f923]

Surprised to not see Sage this time

[@TheSeriousRunner]

He'll be back.

[@SeeChadRun]

Ah yes, the dreaded "you just lost your CR" notification... Haha!

amirite? lol

Kipchoge, Kosgei, Serious Runner? 😂

On rest days I don’t use the app, then go back & binge kudo everyone

[@terryfurlong518]

Come on Strava and show some class (and a sense of humour). Sponsor Steve!

[@TheSeriousRunner]

I appreciate your support. Nothing from Strava yet, though. 😢

[@mjprozac]

The mayor of the next town over and I have been exchanging local legend status for the path in his town on Strava and I don’t know if he realizes how seriously I take that competition. I assume that you were specifically deriding him and his people stopped you when you said whatever you dubbed over with “hobby joggers” because he’s the worst. Eat it, Mayor Patel.

[@TheSeriousRunner]

haha sure -- insert whoever you'd like into that dubbed audio.

[@AndreaCastelnovo]

As a serious runner I enter only my Strava profile link in the ESTA application in the social media presence section

[@joseeduardotschen9186]

A serious runner makes planned runs… with or without Strava.

[@TooBeaucoup]

Slowcial!🤣

[@smalls26.2]

Lmao 🤣

[@allinotte4263]

I know some runners who are all about the elevation. I quit groups because of this competition and only run against myself. Looking to do a watch-less Wednesday weekly. A day of activities that are not officially documented. Not sure if I’m a ‘hobby jogger’ Ive run an ultra… but there is too much pressure on social media. Just get out and do something 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@feezee82]

That’s why I stopped using Strava. I felt like it created too much pressure to run faster and further than your fitness allows. I’m not saying everyone should do the same, but for me it’s much more enjoyable to run when I don’t need to worry about sharing my workouts. As for the watch, I considered going watch-less, but maybe not just yet. I don’t track any other activity other than running, and pretty much never look at heart rate anymore. But I still want to keep track of my weekly distance.

[@curtdalgleish2903]

Exactly ... a lost CR is always due to cheater of some sort.

[@Sutwang]

As a serious runner, I don’t follow you on Strava so I can make people look like I have more followers, making people think I am fast enough to be an influencer

[@TheSeriousRunner]

the ratio of followers to following is very important

[@chch242]

Damn, Serious Runners Strava club taken by Russians.
