I love how even one of the best 800m runners in the world tells himself it’s only 2 minutes before the start of an 800 😂

[@mattlamb8949]

2 mins of pain.

[@wiremanart]

Legs: bro we ain't got time for 2 minutes.

[@kyleclerkin5602]

@@mattlamb8949 na rly just 30 seconds of pain, that last 200 sucks ass

[@TrentonCS]

No he said just 2 minutes, as in he wanted to run 2 minutes

[@kyleclerkin5602]

@@TrentonCS na lol u don’t run 15 seconds faster then expected lmao, it’s like saying just a minute when running a 400

[@MikeHamMan]

Nah, I don't think the salute was too much. You earned it, you won the race. And is this just after you were battling a hamstring injury, right? Dude, that's a pretty big deal. Congratulations on the win!

[@PivotalRunning]

Totally Agree...I dig the Boy Scout Salute, but Clayton needs to use the knife-like hands rendering the Full Salute next time. This video is the future. Totally Good for the Sport!

[@rexy6341]

How the freak tho pacing. What. I goin 1 flat and I positive by 20+ seconds while they'd. Negative by 15 😐

[@rexy6341]

@Ammon Hatch Sorry bro my auto correct was messing up, new to English eh 😁, Africa?

[@rexy6341]

@Landon Delgado fade pigeon, this dude's got 15 kills

[@Montrosesister12]

I hope people didn't like it. 😕 good. He won, he felt it, he "saluted".

[@xxhexmanxx500]

When he said 25 minutes until the race, my heart drops the same way it does in my track season where actually running

[@blainejohnson9954]

You literally looked so smooth and relaxed with 400 to go you could just see it in everyone’s upper bodies that you were way more relaxed than them

[@-guitarhero]

idk I don’t really think that matters bc I also run very smooth but am equally as fatigued as someone who is struggling. It just looks better that’s all tbh

[@blainejohnson9954]

@@-guitarhero no you can tell by how hard someone is moving their arms if they Thor another gear with 200 to go

[@amritbanga380]

“Like where the helll they gonna get em fresh?!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@connnormyers5162]

That was crazy, you should start racing more with a mic on. It was pretty cool just hearing what it was like inside of a race like that.

[@JacobMeza-pro-footballer]

I’d be hella interested to here a mile or 2 mile, with all the bunches and people either saying words themselves or others

[@chief7573]

@@JacobMeza-pro-footballer lol what? Idk if it's just me but in races people dont really talk because they're going fast, except maybe cross country with a talented athlete

[@danthetrackman__1852]

Yesssirrrr got a black queen 😭🤝!!!!!

[@Luwabi212]

It’s crazy how so many people put their body through so much pain to run below 1:50 the average person don’t know how hard it is. Respect to you. I remember I ran 1:57 and felt like I was going to die

[@jacob8949]

Fair play, I never got below 2 mins. My poor lungs can't take that kind of punishment 😄

[@Triisttan]

Man I'm out here happy with a 2:15 in my Junior year of hs... lmao I'm slow ik, hopefully I get some improvement next season

[@alex-dq4xt]

@@Triisttan absolute same dude my first track year was this year (junior year) and started with a 2:39 in practice and ended szn w a 2:19 next year gotta be faster lol

[@bigkidgaming1770]

I ran 2 flat and my my quads and hamstrings and glutes felt like they were tearing for 10 min after race

[@jacobreesmontgomery]

the balls to mic up for the race, my gosh what a legend

[@christianrivera3007]

this is sick! need more mic’d up type of racing content from all athletes

[@tonymichaelmonchinski2624]

Ngl It did not look like u would pass those 2 guys ahead but thst was a great kick

[@MichaelDavis-uu9zh]

That pole vaulter was so happy lol 9:15

[@kosukemedia]

This is sick!! Such a cool idea to mic up during a race. I feel like this is gonna become a trend soon

[@artist7998]

Brings me back 50 years to when I ran the 1/2 mile in HS and college. Excellent run and fun to watch.

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Feels like we're trackside with you Clayton! Great insights, funny commentary, juicy edits, and an epic salute to top it off. You have the right blend of humility and swagger. *Keep this kind of content coming!*

[@noahgarza7945]

im back baby 🤣🤣 love seeing the love you showed the teenagers also, keep going ‼️

[@jamesthatcher4528]

“Don’t choose the 800, let the 800 choose you” that what happened to me this season and I went sub 2 for the first time

[@PongGod]

Taking the selfies with fans and signing autographs was really cool of you. It's great to see people out and supporting the track athletes!

[@fabs21]

Can't believe you were mic'd up in a race😭 but honestly thank you. It helps us more than you thing

[@xoiluvduckiesxo]

So proud of you babe!!! 🥰🥰

[@ericklein435]

Taking running content to the next level. I'm sure hard to balance and stay focused. Great race, pretty obvious you thought 50 wasn't a good idea lol did your thing and executed that great kick. Congrats

[@aidanfriedman6201]

Why did the pre race part give me anxiety lmao

[@alexandreiTF]

I was sweating bullets dude

[@moo3982]

CLAYTON! You wiley cayote you... Very smooth and not panicked at all. I would have been sweating bullets being so far behind at 400m, but you closed the gap real well... You are BACK indeed. CONGRATS

[@duncanct]

Shout out to the pole vaulter at 9:15 you know she just hit that PR let’s go congratulations to her

[@Meechooilka]

Some tips for a successful KZbin channel: 1. impossibly tight speed suit 2. slow-mo frontal shots 3. some shots from the back 4. a lot of slo-mo bounce shots 5. maybe some more facial hair 6. if all else fails, more Devon Allen is always good the gays will go wild

[@alexandreiTF]

Aaayoo🥴

[@msport_erick]

Bruh wtf 🤣🤣

[@alexandreiTF]

Love seeing all these comments! Glad you guys like the video

[@robinbauer1975]

NEW UNIFORM LOOKING AWSOME specially in this speedsuit

[@thedailyplanet1970]

so happy to see that one and it was good when you did that salute cos you smashed it

[@geofslagle410]

Clayton, love watching you race! Thanks for bringing us along with you.

[@drewcash1785]

That was a sick race, really liked the mic up, everything was on point and very exciting to watch.

[@rebeccayoo3201]

Smooth running! Has anyone ever raced with a mic on before? That was a really awesome way to bring the fans inside the race from your perspective. Thanks for allowing all of us to enjoy that with you! I loved watching you interact with all of the track fans afterwards! I’ll be spectating at Worlds in Eugene-hope to see you tear it up 💪🏻

[@robbyfoster4809]

dude holy cow this is my favorite running video ive ever seen on youtube. the camera quality, the selftalk, everything was so cool to see. I appreciate this greatly

[@ababagogynqa8614]

Honestly, I though you would be the quiet stern type, but after watching this, I notice my expectations where way off. Nice race! Good video! Good luck for the rest of the season!

[@SOULxSOCIETY]

You are definitely my favourite runner, the mic'd up videos are the best.

[@miller10]

Your kick was insane damn

[@adventurehikerunandbike9375]

Wow this is great content. It was interesting in all aspects: the insider's view, the editing and the race itself.

[@gerrywillwerth1883]

Clayton is my new fave track and field athlete. Amid all the post-race hubbub over his victory, he manages to express his feelings and admiration for multi-world champion triple jumper, Christian Taylor, who is making a comeback from what would have been a career-ending injury for 99% of "ordinary" athletes. My prediction: Mr. Murphy still has much more success coming in his future. Go, Clayton!

[@nd3591]

I felt the nerves while watching 😅

[@Itsfalcon9]

watching this brought a tear to my eye. I miss track so much. its been 10 years since I graduated. thank you for this. it made me feel like a speedy senior again. nostalgic 😭

[@GeorgeRussell9]

New series - "Spiked up and Mic'd up" ? I'll take royalties for the name, US 11 in dragonflys and Small in kit ;)

[@dolphingirl2875]

Facts about Christian, I did not expect him back this early

[@Dave-xm9bg]

Give us your race breakdown part 3! Great race btw

The good luck charm was the Fleetwood Mac shirt...love it!

[@luistovar7507]

Definitely one of, if not my favorite video you’ve posted out. Love to see more of this on race day for sure The speed suit works !

[@naki5007]

Thanks for coming to Puerto Rico ! Hope we can see you battle again en la isla del encanto :)

[@mikiboy1]

thank you for mic'ing up and bringing us in for the ride!!! It was awesome. I wondered if having the mic on or worrying about social media would distract you, but it seems to have not. HOW ABOUT WEARING A GO-PRO NEXT TIME????
