I wish I could be disappointed about a 4:02 LMAO

Same. I would think I was dreaming if I ran that.

Who else has been waiting for spencer to break 4 again....

[@Fullsendfilosophy]

He'll break 4 easy as a pro

[@StridesandSummits]

Depending on how quickly I flip, this mile is faster than I can microwave 2 pizza pockets

[@dallantobler6144]

I had to be early for this one, I’ve been waiting for it all week.

[@stevengymanjr.865]

We need to get ari out of the nike freeruns😔💀

[@ParkerMax]

I would like to be so fast to say a 4:02 mile wasn't great. Big things coming for you Spencer! Edit: sorry for spoiling the time.

[@barrybeebenson2673]

I understand him being disappointed, but totally agree. That would be awesome. Btw I am subbed to you Parker💛

4:00 mile can be done by over 1000 people every year, I'm sure he wants to be better than rank 1000 at this stage.

[@alejandrotorres712]

Max L not 1000 only about 1500 people have ever broken 4 in history

[@jo_cho]

@@alejandrotorres712 yes but how about the people who privately record it themselves?

[@tiktoktalldude8245]

For people wondering why they couldn’t show their feet. I believe it’s for the reason that they were either trying out a new shoe model that isn’t released yet. Or, they weren’t wearing brooks shoes for the time trial.

[@oweng571]

“Shut up and do it” put that on a shirt

Yeah. "Just do it", yeah, thats sounds good, oh wait..

Ari keep the faith. You came down from altitude, may be dehydrated from the car journey and haven’t done a lot of speed work yet. You will breakout, will get signed. Wyatt Earp has to learn to shoot!

[@cicirunner]

Great job man. Nice to get that first time trial out of the way to prove to Brooks that you're not just some joke KZbinr and you are the real deal.

[@vckxdodjskskddhdh2632]

You inspired me to run one today. 6:06, massive PR. Fear me, I’m coming😂

My guy Ari needs a sponsor

[@jordancunningham9514]

imagine training with spencer for several months and still getting shafted... dude works hard, and has a great personality for distance running! Get this man a sponsor!

[@bryanlima1295]

Let’s just hope he gets picked up by a big company name in the future @Jordan Cunningham

[@322aareyn]

Spencer got this contract because of his social media presence. He's a great runner, but he's not "top" tier. Brooks signed him because they knew he would increase their exposure. Ari is on the same level as him, but he doesn't have the clout

[@jordancunningham9514]

[@8gomerpyle22]

I really thought Ari was going to finish first. Although he ran a 4:07 and he didn't even look tired at the finish. Great job Spencer. On that last lap I could actually feel the pain sitting here on my couch in the AC.

Love the vids I ran my best long run today 6 miles at sub 6:55min/mi pace at 6am for XC (im a freshman btw if u dont think thats good) Keep working bro ur amazing.

[@joehaynes891]

Enjoy your years they go by fast Source just graduated high school little ago

[@danielolsen8114]

There is something very (oddly?) satisfying about the "CLICK-CLICK" Spencer does in his videos. It's better than a catch phrase. In fact, if he forgets to do it I'm amazed at how disappointed I feel. I've tried doing it, but just can't pull it off the same. Nowhere near as good.

[@abeott5866]

3:28 ok now I wanna be on that team

[@turnerburger]

Not gonna spoil it for the people who haven't watched yet, but that's such a good time for the type of training you've been doing, which wasn't even truly speed-oriented!!!

I mean without support 4:02.Great job. In a real race 3:56 for sure.I ran 4.15 alone.That was my race pace at 3000m. 7:56min. My coach told me what you can ran in a mile alone, you can pass in 3000m.
