Nico Young explains his 2nd place finish at the olympic trials 5K prelim

[@MH-qd8cs]

Interesting to hear what goes through an elite runner’s mind during an intense race

[@LLexandleovloggs]

yeah it we've got more coming!

[@CitrusMike]

so humbling to look at you and your brothers times, you guys are incredible talents! i have nothing but respect

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Thank you!

[@FranklynAlvarez]

Was really bummed that Nico didnt have a senior track season. There were so many great runners, Nico, Daschbach, Sprout, Strangio, Schoope. Looking forward to having something similar with this '22 season of NP runners! If Colin and Lex had been pacing off sprout for 3000m i think they both couldve got that 8:40 this past track season. Gonna have at least 2 Nicos this year in XC and the 3200, Leo and Aaron are gonna be cleaning up in the mile. Hoping most of all to see a Colin Sahlman, Rheinhardt Harrison, Gavin Sherry, Larry Josh Edwards showdown mile kinda like the quarantine classico last year. Definitly think all those guys have a shot at breaking 4, more than 1 in one race would be the first time in history I think. Lot to look forward to!

[@LLexandleovloggs]

yeah should be a killer season, were all stoked!

[@JV-jf6qv]

I was rooting for nico all the way to the end. He’ll get in next time!

[@brendargarcia7738]

I got to see him do an amazing race at CIF and have been watching all the impressive things he did in his first year of college so I am just really excited to see what he does next!

[@LLexandleovloggs]

yeah its gonna be great!!

[@alonzothompson5495]

GREAT CHANNEL!!! And bringing on nico is a big plus. Always good to see him 🙏

[@LLexandleovloggs]

[@Zephyr653]

Immensely proud of your progress and accomplishments as a Newbury Park HS parent and Dana Hills XC alum. Wishing you, Lex and Leo much success.

[@jllee9189]

I like Nico’s comments about staying in the moment and relaxing while you are running, I find myself trying to solve world issues while running which I need to stop doing. Thanks for the good advice Nico.

[@CarlosMartinez-ni3nx]

Well said with no position being a bad position. It's easy to get lost in your thoughts if you don't go out to your race plan and end up in a weird spot.

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Definitely!

[@ironman20803]

I don’t understand how you don’t have 25k subs yet?! You make really good videos! Better then most KZbinrs.

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Thankyou, were slowly getting there!

[@natepalter1721]

Great video! Really cool to see Nico breaking down his own race.

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Yeah I was super intrigued listening to him as we filmed it, so much great insight.

[@andrewbostic2087]

Can’t wait! Do you guys listen to music when you run?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Sometimes depend on what the run is and how many people we are with. If it’s just me and Leo we will bring a small JBL clip speaker with us. If we’re alone we’ll usually use AirPods.

Nico and NAU will be top XC this year. In the Spring, he'll be good in the 5K.

Hope so!

I might be getting confused with people but did you go to NewBury Park

Yes Nico did go to newbury park, and we are currently at newbury park.

[@mjhrpgiv]

So interesting to see how all the Young brothers running style is so similar. Very efficient.

[@mustardseedsociety]

Nice to finally to hear a voice with the face !! Now NICO is FINALLY NOT that "mystical" figure on the screen. I had no idea NICO had a brother either. But great video, the music ratio was very good. Many Tubers play music way too loud and like the other day, I was listening to a video unrelated to this channel, and I could not understand the narrator because the music was too high. My feeling is, if I want to listen to music, I'll watch a music video - just about every song known to man is somewhere on the Tube. However, if the video is non musician related, I don't mind a "pinch" of music. You SPRINKLE salt on your popcorn. You DON'T sprinkle popcorn on your salt. I went ahead and subbed to your channel !!

[@LLexandleovloggs]

Thanks we focus highly on production quality. Good way of putting it with the popcorn metaphor, I love that.

[@leopaterniti3249]

off topic a bit lol but you guys have any reconditions for xc spikes. I train and race road races in nikes similarly to you guys and i really enjoy the rigidity and responsiveness of the next% and was wondering if you knew any spikes that implement that. love the content by the way!

[@mikelawrence157]

He said his warmup was fast this time, what specifically did he do for a warmup?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

He usually does his typical rope stretching and a 2-3 mile jog with dynamics. We should have a video on this subject coming soon to the channel 👀.

[@josephbauer7646]

Nice content. Example of what the runners are thinking during a race - while competing with the best of the best. I think your start was fine. Were you looking to shoot out like a cannon? At this level - wouldn't that just be a waste of energy - given that, at this level - even if you jumped out to 10 meter lead - everyone else would have just reeled you in. Also, shooting out too quickly just sends a signal to the other runners - that you're the new inexperienced guy. It's not about how you start a race, it's about how you position yourself during a race (not getting spit out the back), and how you finish the race. Matt Tegenkamp (12:58 - 5,000/ 8:07 - 2 mile)) had it right - as he said some years ago - you have to be ready to suffer. You will not be able to compete with the best of the best - unless you are mentally (and physically) prepared to go to the pain cave.

[@MoldyCheeseMC]

Which high socks did Nico use during the trials?

[@LLexandleovloggs]

He doesn't know for sure what model, but most likely a pair of high adidas racing socks.
