In the real world, even the pros have to deal with being "between sizes"... These vids make it feel like we're trackside, which I assume is the intent with the raw format. NEVER change that! The raw nature is what makes this content next level.

[@jackfisher4114]

Gotta love anything with Luis in it. He has such a positive outlook on everything.

[@rigsreco268]

I like how Luiz said at the end that he doesn't track his runs with Strava because he doesn't want to obsess over it. That is so true for us recreational runners. The guy seems so grounded.

[@kilamark]

His form is so unorthodox and uncomfortable to watch.. I FREAKING LOVE IT 🔥

[@kenrickhk]

Yeah hahaha 😂

[@oftenwrongphong]

awesome how hubby and wife hold national records for distance running in their respective countries. As always, great video by Sweat Elite.

[@JoshL84]

I'm in the taper for the Indy full. Trying to go sub 3:30. I've used a lot of these videos for motivation in my training and trying to improve my form by observing a lot of these faster runners. It's nice to see the effort go into these training runs.

[@jessicashih6235]

Louis is a very interesting guy now making his own channel by his name. Especially his video "No mercy, training in Kenya" illustrates his private training in Kenya and introduces Kipchoge Stadium over there. Thanks for vivid sharing.

[@gerardyamaha141]

I’ve been seeing Luis’ running videos on Instagram for years. Not that they aren’t cool, but they never made me care much about him. But Seeing how he talks, jokes around, acts and prepares for a workout is what really made me a fan

[@madigoreful]

luis training at kenya most motivated running. a must watch before run. he cool dude.

[@jtully8436]

Nothing like a sweat elite vid before bed

I want to believe that the camera man always runs alongside while holding a massive camera on his shoulder 😅

[@Paul-M21]

Just what I needed to get me through my lunch break at work! 🏃🏼‍♂️

[@ercmadden]

Man- that scenery is amazing

[@AL-zq4wz]

Luis has unlimited power to run and seems never get tired, he didn't even want a sip of water. That's crazy

[@BingChilling5973]

excited to see luis run the marathon!

[@f2f923]

I will be running CIM as well, It would be pretty cool if I got to see Luis somewhere around.

[@simonloo1588]

The camera man sound the fittest …he is filming side way while running forward in a calmer voice than the 2 runners …amazing

[@SpencerMahon]

He's shooting for a 2:18 himself. Which is going to be incredible to witness

[@user-fv8jv3ki9d]

hi luis..if you dont mind can you tell us what is your heart rate when you running at marathon pace?..that is such a amazing you can consistent to long run at that pace..

[@oovoojaver179]

Luis is crazy fast sheesh

[@Chasery]

What camera do you have to record these videos? I really want to make my own running videos in the future and want to know where I should start with my videotography. Let me know if you have any suggestions for a beginner!

[@sweatelite]

It's a Nikon Z50. Study channels you enjoy and take it from there. The equipment is secondary.

[@starlight7830]

Hey dude ,,, Where did you buy your running short tights ? I can't find them any where ! What make are they ?

[@chrisengland5202]

Love the video, was wondering how long the recovery was in between the 400 meter laps. Thanks

[@taylorsmith6143]

Think it was a 200 between each rep of the same speed, 400 before each rep where they cut down

[@carsonmalleet4367]

200m jogs which probably came out to 1:00-1:30 rest and double that every 4 reps!

[@rahulbarca4112]

12:59.... Luis bro I was watching this on TV with my family....!!!!! Massive awkward silence for 1 minute 🤣🤣🤣

[@ortaluis]

My pleasure 😇😂😂

[@Exodianotforbidden]

Received the exact same shoe luis were wearing as a birthday gift this month, they are beautiful and super bouncy 😆😆

Goods timings

[@MagerialPage]

I've never been in a pair of next% or vaporfly but when I wore my endorphin pro on the track, it felt a little squishy for me, like the track wasn't hard enough for the plate to really pop back efficiently. I prefer them for the road and spikes for really fast on the track and then just flats for longer track intervals. Anyone feel any way about this? Still getting adjusted to running on carbon plates, maybe I'm not using then correctly or the nike carbon plate does better on the track than saucony?

[@sirfabioo]

I like using the vaporfly for track, it‘s quite squishy too, running in spikes definitely is easier but not as comfortable i have to say

[@veganrunner5634]

I love the endorphin pro. Except on wet surface the adherence is not great

[@paddywiggle]

Agree

[@michaelr.8402]

love the hoka rocket x @track 💥

@@michaelr.8402 oh nice. Will have to look into them.

[@diniaadil6154]

Would have loved to see Hiruni's splits too. Great running!

[@markreimann3180]

if you hover your mouse over the video on the homepage on youtube it looks like Luis is running backward but forwards.

Hahaha ye lol

[@sunnyblossom_711]

seconds per 400m rep. recovery is a lap jog.

[@davidcarrillo1350]

@@sunnyblossom_711 thanks!! Nice

[@nancrureyes2219]

Puede ser 1:20 trote

[@casinoJ.]

Should you run everyday?

[@hlulanizitha9920]

you can if some of those runs are really easy runs to try and help you recover, going hard every single day would fatigue and burn you out quickly while also increasing the likelihood of getting an injury. Personally I use a 3 day split program run 3 days rest one day then repeat, typically i'd do this for three weeks before taking two consecutive days off from running to really try and recover properly.

[@stayontrack]

elite runners usually run twice a day on most days

[@MrTakashi1974]

Stupid question maybe, but are they a couple
