I recently PR'ed at a track meet for the 1600 I was a at 7:30 and last meet of the season I got 6:48 that was the first meet where I had told myself the mental stuff he talks about in the video and just relax and tell yourself positive things. I think that what he talks about is pretty accurate. Although a child I cannot change my diet listen to Zach.

Yo I looked it up and a 3:39 for the 1500 is one second away from the Olympic trial qualifying time!

[@jcrizzy7643]

Great vid as always dude! Although, track is winding down and summer runs are right around the corner... I would love a video about advice for summer runs so I can have a successful XC season... should I be focusing on pure mileage trying to run as many miles as I can, or should I run them a bit faster?

[@chaseanspach2799]

jcrizzy do a bit of both like tempo runs long runs get in the mileage but also work on speed and do some faster paced runs

[@jacobwall9976]

Google summer of malmo

[@ethancozine9730]

Just doing fast 400s or 800s is one of the best workouts. I sends you into oxygen debt, and after doing it a couple of times, your body will begin to use oxygen more efficiently. Keep doing and your body will become even more efficient. The best thing for training is mix it up. Do fast 400s/800s one day, do long runs the next, do tempo runs, do speed work, etc. That's what I do and it has worked really well.

[@peteplayz-norskgaming5723]

Ethan Cozine not the best training

Hey Zach! I loved this video, but I would have to respectfully disagree on one of the points you made about 600 to go. You said that you should only make a move when you are comfortable too, and I disagree, because when do you ever feel comfortable during a race? I feel that you make a move when the move needs to be made, not when you want it to and you just have to try everything possible to grind it out to the finish.
