Mike Smith is one of the best coaches in the nation rn. Dude is coaching nau, Nico Young, and Galen Rupp. That is insane.

[@Ethan-bm8cf]

I doubt he is actually ‘coaching’ galen

[@bradyeagar7775]

@@Ethan-bm8cf why’s that

[@caleblara9485]

@Kai Smithley you’re right. I listed him individually because of his accomplishments before joining the nau team.

[@joaquinmaria1581]

@@Ethan-bm8cf he is though for legal purposes that is 😂

[@luisbarraza9709]

Rupp and Nico were already massive talents. The real coaching job is Luis G, he making close to world class soon.

[@ItsCaptainMC]

Running for NAU would be so nice, wish I was a 4:05 miler

[@yourfriendcoca]

i know you wrote this awhile ago, but i can assure you, you can unlock unfounded speed if you train for it. you have to change your lifestyle if you want to be a d1 athlete - it’s intense, but if you want it you can get it :)

[@10B111H]

Respect to all the runners waking up this early and grinding. They'll all go far in life with their work ethic.

[@funbukit5366]

This is the best quality workout Wednesday this channel has ever made. Good job.

[@tylerdunston775]

This workout was so aesthetically pleasing

[@maddymaxwell1947]

"the pushing is out of insecurity" holy crap

[@jedlim8691]

Really loving this video, the beautiful sunrise, the sound of shoes hitting gravel, the energy, and the nurturing discipline :)

[@TheRunningEffect]

Mike Smith is more of a Dad than a Coach haha. Literally such a legend!

[@jonahmays]

Anyone would appreciate a coach like that; very observant, wise, and caring. Barely know anything about him but he seems like a beast

[@jacobanteau6020]

"an hour in the maze" lollllllll

[@asap_colon9346]

Mike smith has to be the greatest coach right now in college, would love to be coached by him.

[@kaismithley6173]

one of the best coaches in america I'd say

[@PoliticaV]

Damn! I think this is a hard work out! No joke! NAU has some of the best runners in the country!

[@zanderjeffcoat5434]

Anyone else hear Mike go: *exhale* "f×××" 12:25

[@jackloveshugs7023]

Yeah haha I wonder why

[@jazzyjay4595]

@@jackloveshugs7023 coulda been in relationship to him talking about cutting that freshman’s workout a mile early so that he didn’t burn out or something. Maybe felt a bit of regret on it

[@william14able]

I bet dropping down from altitude when you're this fit is insane.

[@dedgar6161]

not even a distance runner but that thumbnail was pretty sick

[@luisdelreal9061]

Mike smith said “ ahhh fuck “ at the end lmaoooooo

[@mattlafleur611]

The real question is who has a better voice, Morgan Freeman or Mike Smith?

[@seatownfan]

Actually, he is Mitch Hedberg reincarnated!

[@SotaMaehara]

Vids like this are so good, great inspiration

[@josephbauer7646]

Coach Smith ' I wonder what the penalty is for guys running around out here in short shorts and spandex? An hour in the Maze! Guys, just don't make eye contact with the clowns! 😆

Love this coach! Deadpan

Mike smith goat of coaching

[@joshkletzkin8054]

Beautifully produced film.

[@glenbartholomew1058]

What altitude do you workout at? If you all run a lot in the morning dark I can let you try a light belt I’ve come up with. The roads looked long and straight, but some of those trucks went by kind of quick on the asphalt.

[@bluenetmarketing]

Dangerous and stupid to put runners on a road like that. IMO.

[@SoyDerek1]

Let’s go Drew represent Homestead

[@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH]

Mike Smith is riding that line between beatnik and hippie

@AEDAN GRABER furthermore it’s from 2019

[@liamfoley3085]

They usually record a bunch of stuff and post it on their website but only allow access if you have a subscription, but once they need something new to post here they post it on KZbin. It’s very monetary based for milesplit and flotrack.

2019 vid

[@quintuyoyarzoenzo]

This workout looks like long tempo or long threshold pace, and the runners are Millers, the contribution of aerobic system is the principal way. Events like 1500/mile have to 70% of aerobic contribution and 28% anaerobic. While aerobic system gains for this type of athlete are between 65-75%vVo2max, what might it be like to work in a zone that comprises neither a base pace nor a race pace? How important can zone 2 be for these athletes? Thanks

[@nathansmith6076]

NAU succeeds more at the 5K-10K range, but these dudes can still drop a 4 min mile no problem.

[@Thelegends21415]

is nico there??

No, this was from last year while Nico was in HS
