I think he was one of the most underrated runners in Europe. I am glad he is getting the recognition he deserves :)

[@theolderigetthefasteriwas3381]

Just my opinion - The BEST sweat elite video so far. Captured the energy in the environment really well. Complete contrast to the training run a in Boulder or Kenya.

[@tonyyoung3381]

Great athletes making good use of the resources at hand…… weather often dictates locations

[@JackD87]

What a legend that coach seems. Proper character and clearly has buy in from his athletes.

[@TheFODRunner]

What a legend, he’s got a big big marathon future ahead of him!

[@DarinCSmith]

One legend to another 👀

[@mateusbittencourtmendes2684]

probably the most insane strava kkkkk Jake semms to be such a cool guy... will definetly win a lot of races

[@gallagherii]

Loved the commentary from the coach. Amazing group! Jake's such a personality. And damn Piers and James are fast too!

[@greghill1609]

I enjoyed James Thie's commentary quite a bit. He was a real stud just a few years ago.

[@tonyyoung3381]

What a treat to hear Coach JT talk about the workout…. Hey James!

[@TeamThie]

Hey Tony! We need to visit soon soon a 2hour run & some beers! Been too long!

[@felicichris1369]

I love double workout days, you’d be surprised how good speed work could feel the evening following some morning threshold stuff.

[@spacemanstanly]

Jake is one of my favorite athletes around right now, awesome to get a sweat elite video with him!

[@derekrubis6652]

One of your training videos EVER & I’m a huge Jake Smith Fan

[@matthewwillis6848]

the strava goat 🐐

[@ianbarnett5839]

It's races that count not Strava.

[@donalddarko3676]

after winning the london half this year hes been getting the recognition

[@gunnershady]

Jake is the future of British long distance running, wishing him all the best 👍

[@andreirotaru4907]

And he won the prize for the most fine and humble guy🥇🏆

[@manvendranm]

Jake is a really nice guy he gives me running tips if I ask him on ig maad respect

[@TumoRuns]

Three serious runners. Great footage and some awesome insight, particularly from James Thie! Also I love how meticulous Jake is with his training!

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

James never changes...a good thing!

[@masheeniblick]

One of the best personalities in running for sure 👍

[@jameschaves5723]

Great content Matt. Keep it coming. Jake will provide excitement for many years to come

[@philrolls3233]

Can't wait to see what Jake can REALLY do in the marathon. Great session guys

[@jadel-houssami4994]

Really good to see Britsh athletes get the recognition they deserve. Also did James tell you that this summer he ran a 4:23 mile which is some kind of V40 record?

[@msb1500m]

That coach sounds great! And it's funny to see that pro runners deal with the same "problems" as everyone else, ie : traffic on the indoor track 😂

[@michaelwhiting5141]

Great video, Matt. Good to see the vibe of an indoor session (obviously we don't get that here in Oz, ha!). Keep it up, man.

[@JackD87]

“Jake will film it himself” fist clip: portrait. Matt: 🤬🤬🤬

[@sweatelite]

🤣🤣🤣

[@runningwithmarc]

Belter of a video... again. Great group and atmosphere in that training group.

[@abhishekdude66]

Piers' 1500m PB is amazing

[@russamehta]

Just amazing. This guy is going to be a superstar. Great great video

[@Ronaldoisboss]

Just one thing to consider: at around 15:20 there are several conversations going on, and it’s a bit difficult to follow because the audio doesn’t seem to be focused on one person. I’m sure being in a large indoor space doesn’t help. Maybe in the future a different microphone setup would be helpful. I don’t know much about audio recording though. Otherwise, I love your channel and the sense of connection you’re building through these videos!

[@nro337]

Insane talent

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing 👍

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

60:31 charts out to 2:07:xx so 2:06 is realistic with maturity...probably more

[@JK-iv7xe]

Would be really cool if you could do these with sprinters also!

[@19JSC92]

Definitely your best video yet, great stuff guys! Was this a small track or does it just look smaller because it's indoors?🤔

[@jadel-houssami4994]

200m indoor track. All indoor oval tracks in the UK are 200m.

[@firstlast9731]

Great video

[@pacoLrunG]

3:18 As a HongKonger, I am really glad to see that jealesy. This is the first time I see it.

[@masheeniblick]

He grew up in HK I think

[@iFlarsky]

@@masheeniblick Yeah I believe he mentioned that in the podcast with Sweat Elite - Claims his crazy aerobic capacity may be due to living in those conditions for years haha #funfact

[@alexl5103]

Nice...

[@axleblaze123]

❤ reaping the Hong Kong singlet

[@sleepingboy428]

Nice

[@barrantphoto]

what treadmill is he running on??

[@-worldskilsandtraining8746]

I wand to see work Donavan Brazier

[@brandonviljoen5471]

What is Jake smith's Height

[@sharadchoudhary3165]

Hii sir I am from india 800m/1:55 age -21

[@Thoth19]

2x HARD training sessions in ONE day isnt smart!

[@marka.meyers538]

Dime a dozen runner. Can still make a decent living being mediocre.

[@erensfeet5563]

What is your pb time, calling out other people mediocre? If u cant get less than 30 min for 10km then youre in no position to say other people are mediocre

[@axleblaze123]

Do you realise he ran 2:11 off low mileage? Jake has time to improve as he’s very young. His marathon potential is massive
