that scream at the end of the race is the most emotion hes ever had you can tell how happy he is. way to go😊🎉

[@Kylerun]

Man you guys are super fast I am in middle school track right now and I can’t even imagine how it feels to run that pace you guys are legit 2 of the fastest high school runners all time. I can only imagine what collage will be like for you guys.

[@Ron_Gainz]

Yeah fr, bro at my school running this pace for 100m is fast to people at my school 😢

[@SquidSquab]

@@Ron_Gainz once u get older it gets easier as long as you are putting in the work. When I was in 7th grade my fastest 800 time was 2:42 and now I’m a freshmen and it’s 2:17 at the beginning of this season. Getting older plays a part in getting better

This is where it starts, @Kyleisepic... Following other people like L&L. You're on the right track. Keep keep studying, keep learning, keep training.

[@tybrooks2127]

Y'all are INSANE!! I am always excited when y'all post a new video!! It gets me hyped for my TRACK MEETS!!!

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Appreciate it!!

[@davidcochran6291]

@@LLexandleovloggs you had to really be stoked after running with the 'Big Dogs' and doing an amazing job. In my own minor way as just a club runner having days where everything felt right as if I was running with no friction. Even though I knew I was working hard everything 'felt' effortless. It's like when I called for my body to go faster it said, ok. Days like that when you creep into areas that are usually blocked to you for whatever reasons, it spurs your training a lot. There is extra fire in you until reality comes back after you could barely drag your self through a 4 miler. I could never predict those days. Or I would have pushed harder sooner. Anyway old man ramble aside, a great day for you. I also think it's great that you and your brother do not run the same races all the time. I ran with 4 brothers that all ran the same distances during the track season and then of course cross-country by the end of school they almost hated running and hated each other. It took almost 10 years before they ran together again. I happened to be there that day and they really had fun with nothing on the line we all told stories in that choppy way you do when you're running and talking too much, but what a great time. Again sorry, but that's what happens with age and terminal ADHD. Thanks again for your video they are great.

[@michaelgaryanderson]

Leo, I loved seeing your excited reaction at the end of the race. It's an amazing feeling when you truly surprise yourself in sports. It doesn't happen that often. And one thing I wanted to add, Leo and Lex. As a father of a high school freshman runner, the one video I was anticipating the most was the one after the two of you struggled at last year's National X-Country Finals. It was after that video that I really became fans of the two of you. The way you stayed positive and let your fans know that things don't always go as planned. And that you'll not always be at your best for every race. It was inspiring hearing that message from you, knowing how many young runners look up to you. Living up here in San Francisco, my son is super excited that you'll be running down the road from us at Stanford! He was able to watch you both run at the State X-Country finals last year(his team Stuart Hall was in the D5 race). Good luck in your final season at Newbury Park!

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Thank you. We appreciate that. After the race we made sure to get out the authentic story of what happened. Because it is truly an important message for young runners to understand. Good luck to your son!

[@owenrappleye743]

I've been running like 20-25 miles a week with not much hope or motivation, and then I watched one of your later videos and decided I'd start running a lot more. I put in 35-40 miles each week for the past three weeks, and I improved my mile time from 4:57 to 4:45 in less than 3 weeks! Thanks for the motivation, you guys, and keep up the hard work!

[@galo15551]

the biggest smile down that last 100m so cool to see how much you enjoy running a great race. thats the feeling i run for

[@livlivreese7025]

The way you had a smile on your face as you were crossing the finish line makes me so happy because running track isn’t always about winning it’s also about enjoying yourself

[@bmillz007]

The smile at the end says it all. When you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life. Amazing job!

[@GusSeifferlein]

Just ran 5.00 in the mile as an 8th grader you guys motivated me to do it keep it up!

[@amazingjourneman1806]

I love the smile you put on during that race. It's almost peaceful.

thank you!

Nice. Congrats on placing 2nd in a professional race. Definitely not cake walk in the park. Definitely hyped up this Sun since it is Easter, and possibly this Sun return to Arcade Gaming first time since Jan to see how many jackpots I can get as part of the challenge. When I return to CA one day will complete the Dave and Busters So Cal Arcade Challenge by going to the remaining Dave and Busters locations that I haven't gotten jackpots yet in Long Beach, Torrance, Northridge, and Thousand Oaks. CA Weather has been extremely wierld last month.

[@katemaloney7952]

YES ANOTHER LEX AND LEO VIDEOOOOOO i love all the new content you guys are insane

[@ADAMBLAZEVIC]

That part at the finish line when you smiled like you got this 2nd place, that was great, congrats. I was really interested in how you prepare and I thought professionals are like more focused before the race they just want to be alone. How you explained that makes much more sense :) This is something I have to work on even though I'm just a noob here, sometimes I'm not feeling it before a race and that just spirals and I feel like it really has a negative effect on me.

[@LLexandleovloggs]

thats exactly why I try to detach myself to an extent. I find the detachment allows me to control my mood and mental state a bit better and produce better race results. However people take all different approaches.

[@annaben-chaim8573]

Ahhhg you guys are absolutely insane I love watching your guys videos because they make me so inspired and motivate me to run better everyday! Keep it up 💪🏻

[@LLexandleovloggs]

So glad!

[@david14431]

That’s insane 3:40!? I ran a leg of my schools season opener 4x800 and did the first 200 in like 28-29 that’s the pace you ran this whole race at. Finished my leg in 2:17 but got my team the lead and unofficially a 5 second 800 pr.

[@DrewDonahue8918]

You guys are fast! I’m a freshman at my high school and I just ran 4:38, I can’t imagine going a minute faster than that! You guys are gonna be crazy at Stanford

[@SotaMaehara]

I've had caffeinated maurten before a night race before, sure it helps but it's so hard to sleep after haha, but maybe the performance benefits you get from it outweights the lack of sleep that night

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Yes its impossible to sleep. but also yes it is definitely worth it. I think even without the caffeine I wouldn't be able to sleep. I tend to be very energized after racing.

Hey L&L you guys inspire so many including me!! Could u guys post a video abt proper shoes for track season? I've been wondering and haven't figured it out yet 😅

Looks like you finished very strong. If you could have maintained that last lap pace til the Mile marker it would have been approx 3:54.7 Mile Split conversion calculator came up with 3:57.6

[@spencersmith4305]

In case you're wondering, that difference is because a mile is 1609 meters and not 1600 (I'm guessing you calculated with that figure) which adds a few seconds.
