the record being broken twice in one year is actually crazy 😭

Wild that Galen was hitting times right around these guys in normal flats.

Again i think i speak for a lot of guys here, we’re so proud to see you do this and your breaking national records in highschool, who’s know what will happen in college by senior year. Congrats man, keep up the work

I have stopped myself from watching this race anywhere else so I could on l&l heck yeah bro didn’t have a doubt

A friend of mine ran cross country and track for Stanford from 1968-72. I am glad both of you are going there. They have a great tradition of runners and, of course, excellent academics. I enjoy your videos.

[@shapster5420]

This was probably one of the best L&L videos I've seen. Your guys production quality has gone way up

[@rizpahmcbride]

Hey Lex, I just wanted you to know that you are a huge inspiration for generations and generations. That record was just the beginning. I can’t wait to see you guys at Stanford!! It’s people like you that inspire everyone to be the best versions of themselves. Without you guys, I would not still be running right now. Thank you for motivating me and encouraging me that hard work and perseverance produce great results. Love you guys ❤

[@Horizons9406]

Even though they are now at the college level and world class level I still miss their old HS vlogs bc those videos make me feel like I was apart of the fun like I was joining them to NXN or states. Thank you so much for everything Lex and Leo you guys have inspired and shown me what amazing thing are out there for me and what I could achieve if I work hard.

[@Zephyr653]

Congratulations to L&L!! Crazy fast times for high schoolers! The entire NP community is very proud of your achievements and inspiration. Hopefully competitive running will be as fulfilling and enjoyable at Stanford. Wishing you both continued success and happiness, all the best!!

[@LLexandleovloggs]

thank you so much!

[@lovetoastt]

L&L, please make a video on strength training, drills, warmup, recovery, etc. !! Anything that’s not running that helps with running

[@mattdemaria6265]

So proud of you both, Lex & Leo! Thanks for being such role models for the kids at Mesa Union. They were STILL talking about your visit up to the end of the school year! Have a great summer, and keep having that great attitude! "Mr. D" 😀

I've been waiting for this video after seeing you broke the record. You guys are really motivational, keep up the good work and content.

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Thank you! Will do!

[@connormartin2333]

Absolutely amazing work. You guys are pushing the bounds of what is possible in just high school. It is truly inspiring. I’m just about to finish freshman year, and your videos have brought a drive to my running. At the 2022 Clovis Invitational I ran my first real 5k and finished with a 20:03. I remember after my race (I was in medium school varsity) waiting to watch the championship race with my teammates. When three Newbury Park runners crossed the finish almost six minutes before I did, I thought I was hallucinating. The speed at which you guys can run for so long at is absolutely blistering. I can only hope that I manage to achieve a time even close to what I saw. I currently have a 19:07, and I can’t wait until my next race. Thank you for the inspiration, and I am excited to see the next record breaking run that is inevitable in the next few years.

[@LLexandleovloggs]

We appreciate the praise. Good luck in your future seasons !

[@connormartin2333]

Now at a 17:35 from Clovis and getting ready for sub-sections in a few days. Last year I ran one sub 6 race, a 2.2, and my average pace was 6:33 for the season. Right now my average pace is 5:55 and I plan to lower it even more. I’m also starting to collect medals. Last year sub 6 was unbelievable, and a medal in an invitational was unthinkable. I really love this sport, and I always come back to your videos for motivation. Thank you.

Congratulations boys!

[@es2910]

Congratulations! Thank you for these inspiring videos. I know it’s mostly training, but is there anything nutritional that you do to stay strong with all the running you do? Like a go to food or common supplements you hear about like vitamin D, iron or a multivitamin? I noticed you eat Dave’s killer bread. Good choice! Do you eat whole wheat pasta?

[@limemartini2902]

i was watching the race’s live splits. was so hype when i saw that led did it

[@yeahbaby3239]

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story! I loved it because you personalized it. I thought it was fun to watch live. It was awesome watching Abdi comeback from falling to win the race! What made it even better was during his interview he turned the attention to you breaking the record. He seems like a loyal friend 🤙

[@isitrachelorj3953]

This is possible because L&L, and a few others, don’t run to win regional or conference races. They run for time, with an eye on the future, to bigger races against better comp. Sitting in a crowded field with a bunch of guys you should beat and dropping a killer last lap gets you nothing but a bunch of unremarkable titles and some nice pictures. These guys are running to win - in the future - world titles! Go get’em guys!
