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

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

He'll break 4 easy as a pro

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@vckxdodjskskddhdh2632]

the guy above me had to be early for this one, he’d been waiting for it all week

[@mikeyboy2154]

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!

[@bernarjayjackson2003]

7:28 brooks testing out new shoes?👀👀

My guy Ari needs a sponsor

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.

[@justindiaz8250]

Had to point out Ari's shirt MTG dude that is amazing

[@ronduncan7731]

Nice job Ari

[@thomasdematteo2281]

adding the 9m made the splits uneven if the guy was moving the cone that is where you count the split. 402.34- 804.68 - 1207.02

[@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.

[@philellul4476]

Well done bro good to see you take the lead at around 1k instead of 1200 you must of felt you was bit of pace for 3min at 1200 it’s your first race back or time trail your gonna fly keep up the grind 💪🏼you and ari 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Yes!!!

[@cyborg2565]

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.

[@zachfry94]

Haha yes... Good run dude. But I can't stop laughing at the musketeer pacer you got.

[@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!!!

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

David Ribitch and I have the same birthdate...39 years apart. I've met him and occasionally run on that track, probably will bump into Spence eventually. Also, noting that Danny is eating keto...good stuff.

[@kilianroper1405]

Do you get enough recovery, because it can't be that you don't improve your pr whithin the last one or two years although you trained in high altitude?

[@joehaynes891]

Tricky though when your as fast as him prs don’t come often. Also I imagine he’s not really in racing season yet plus the temp needs to cool down some.
