[@jameshenry6655]

The 4x400 is by far my favorite relay. Although actually running it feels terrible, with the inability to breathe or even move for the last 100m, it just sucks to run. But it's always the last event of a high school meet, and that's when everyone is finished with their events so there's a big field of spectators and people cheering you on. It's just so amazing watching other people run it, too. Seeing your own teammates just zip around the track like it's nothing is so cool... And in the 4x400, the anchor leg is always the most stressful for your own team because when running 400s, everyone will probably end up finishing within 3 seconds of each other, so the anchor leg is always the most competitive leg; Something that isn't seen much in relays longer than a 4x400, because in longer relays like the 4x800, the time between you and the person behind you will most likely be twice the distance than finishing a 400, so there's less of a strong finish imo

[@massimopicca]

For us we do 4 x 800 and that’s usually last

[@jameshenry6655]

@@massimopicca Oh wow, either way, any relay at the end of a meet is always the best, solely because of the amount of cheering from the spectators and other competitors that are finished with their events.

[@massimopicca]

@@jameshenry6655 unfortunately the 4 x 800 does not get much attention from spectators because usually one team ends up running away with it early then the race gets boring

[@wavelength0123]

@@massimopicca the 4x8 s my favorite too (to run), but for us it's the first event and not many people watch, the 4x4 is last and its super fun to watch because it's usually super close and everybody is hyped because they get to leave after it, plus it's dark and the stadium lights are on

[@lucaskang548]

Unbelievable. Even with Leo not participating and the busy schedule you guys still managed to do so well in the DMR. Great job on the 9:55 dub!!

[@smitty262009]

Wow, this came up in my youtube suggestions. I'm a member of that national record relay team from South Lakes and I ran 3:02 on that 1200 leg! Great attempt at it. 20 years... later can't believe it still lives.

[@tylerjohnson4]

Hope Leo can get back to racing soon and great job to the rest of the your team! Keep up the great videos!

[@Joeysub4]

favorite race for me in high school was the DMR because since I was a xc runner with a background in sprints, I was always thrown in either the 800 or 400 so it was cool to take a crack at 56 or 2:05 depending on which one

[@Grizzly-nt8dd]

Perfect timing. I’ve got two relay meets coming up in the next couple weeks including a DMR. I just anchored a 1200, 800, 1600, 3200 relay and that was a blast

[@carsonutley4134]

My favorite relay is the 4x800 because it is extremely fast paced and exciting

[@clutchcrezy9406]

[@ryancoleyTurkey]

4x4 is personally my favorite, although a 4x8 never disappoints. Both are super hype races and thrilling to watch and run

[@nateh9917]

I really liked the behind the scenes look at the video editing! It's good to see that you guys have hobbies outside of running. It's good to have something else you can fill your time with, and making videos lets about your running lets you explore your creativity, market yourselves, and grows the sport! It's a win for everyone involved :)

[@kristinamacariola9001]

YESSS YALL DID AMAZING!!! im running in the DMR this weekend!

[@getreal9799]

When we ran we had a relay called distance melody, Two guys ran the 220, one guy ran the 440, one guy ran the 880 and the last guy ran the mile. I always ran the mile. Most of the time I had to play catch up as well which made it more fun. Keep up the good work guys.

[@bergieboi_0305]

4x800 is definitely my favorite. I have my league meet this Saturday and my teammates and I are hoping to each hit a split of 2:20.

[@ItsMeMx]

You guys are a huge inspiration for me and I was wondering if you have any tips for breaking 5 minutes in the mile, I’ve been stuck at 5:02 for a while now. Ty so much!

[@jackmarcheese]

Get out as hard as you can

[@calvinonmc]

Well I was a 5:20 guy last year and now I'm running 4:30, All you got to do is get good base miles in the winter, do miles everyday and slowly build up how many you do to prevent injury. You should aim to try to get to 40-50 per week If you are focusing on the mile. Then once you're about a month or two away from the beginning of indoor season start doing a couple to three workouts every week. One of these can be a tempo where you run four to five miles at a hard effort, around 6:00-6:30 for you I would guess, and another could be a speed work session where you do something like 8x400 with one min rest. Fartleks are also good, you can research good ways to do those. Make sure to do a long run every weekend of 12 mi or so, and do strides as much as you can, especially in the days before races. Get a long run in every weekend of 10-12 miles. Finally make sure your pre-race day is easy with a 20 minute run + strides. That is the formula to drop crazy time.

[@BrianBoyle-fb3qn]

Old timer (1970 Track) commenting here. Other than 400m, these times are astronomically better than I ever ran. No doubt Newbury Park is the GOAT for cross country based on last year’s national championships. I think they are letting a golden opportunity slip away by not capitalizing on the once in a generation talent they have with the Youngs and Sahlmans. NP has some individual national records but these records don’t have overwhelming time differences and may lose the records soon. What they do have is a host of great long distance runners and should use them to set records in relays solidifying them as greatest distance HS track and field team. No one will touch their indoor mile relay record (broke it by 30 seconds). 6 seconds away in DMR outdoors and 2+ seconds indoors. Youngs will do great in 1200 and 1600 already proved with times approaching 3 and 4 minutes respectfully. In a school of 2400 they should be able to find a 400m runner faster than 53.7. Need a 51 to 52 runner. In 800m they need Aaron to run 1:50-151- not 1:56 and they’ll break it easily. Great opportunity at the Armory - new balance this year. Then set outdoor record in Spring

I have two favorite relays, the 4x2 because my team is so fast and we’ve broken the school record and are looking to win state next week. And the 4x4, I’m the first leg and I don’t use blocks and i wear tennis shoes not spikes for the 400 so at my regional meet everyone was looking at me funny but I went out and dusted them all splitting a high 50 second split.

Also I would love it if you would show more of your race prep for the different kinds of races you do. Is your race prep (diet workout the day before, etc.) different for an 800 race than for a 3200?

Luke, Are you aware that for Mt Sac relays, you can get a press pass very very easily? You apply online and apply in advance of the meet. It’s a tradition that they grant a pass to basically anyone who applies. This way, you can move around more freely in the stadium and even be down at the track doing photography.

they can easily beat it if they did it again which im sad they didnt. lex or leo probably could get 2:57-3:00, aaron could probably get 1:51-1:52, they could have a 400 runner who is close to 50 flat, and colin could run a 4:00. I think they could have gotten 9:40 or low 9:40's.
