Craig Engels | What Are You Working On? (E30) | Nike

Love isn't easy. It's complicated. It takes practice... And sometimes, we must fall out of love to learn how to sustain it. Long-distance runner Craig Engels' relationship with his profession is no different. After a series of disappointing setbacks, Engels has gone on to find himself through the very sport he once contemplated leaving behind. But this time around, he’s doing things differently. He’s doing it his way. Being a professional runner means pouring into his community and all the aspects that bring him joy.

Never Done pouring into the love!

Craig is already a legend. I love his positivity and the passion he brings to things on and off the track. Thanks for this insight on him. Much appreciated.

[@crwnikeboy]

Legend? Not even close.

Craig is a great guy and an excellent role model. I hope Nike sticks with him and looks after him whether he wins races or not.

[@IBXRunning]

Man, what a legend. Love him talking about how he is suffering the same through a run than anyone else!

[@user-yl7lz1hm6r]

wtf is up with the captions

[@MaxReisinger]

Into the wild vibes. Loved this. Love Craig

[@tammysanchez5674]

My son went on a recruiting trip this weekend to Cal Poly SLO and we had a chance to meet Craig Engels and have dinner with him. The advice he gave in this documentary is what I will share with my son.... work hard and train hard, but make sure you are enjoying it and having fun along the journey to run FAST! His smile said it all, and he was so humble and easy to talk to. I can't wait to see him in the next Olympics!

[@williejohnson4411]

Craig you are literally my hero ❤️

What a guy

[@Wissro]

Glorious haircut

[@mindbodynow3852]

That's a man who knows how to live in the now!

[@SmithGrindEnt]

Yo, who puts these videos together?.. they are fire

[@emilproducing]

Wow, I can 100% identify with that. Some key findings for me: Enjoy the Process > reaching goals Staying fit and healthy > Training hard Nevertheless grind hard > Putting not 100% into your training

[@judphud]

Dudes, it’s “Engels.”

[@samii..2cool]

Why did y’all cancel ur sponsorship with Neymar?

[@ThatCarGuy1983]

He wasn't black enough.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@StellaMcDonald]

running teaches you so much in life, especially how to love something when nothing is going right. i hate running so often because i may not reach a goal or it just gets boring and it's so important to be reminded why you began the sport in the first place. craig is legit the goat and it's inspiring to see that pros struggle in running as much as us high schoolers do

[@marineidedacruzsoares5915]

Glorious haircut ❤

[@agnaldarosa]

Perfeito sempre uso recomendo

[@austinspencer7766]

I met Craig at a meet in NC. He is genuinely a nice person, and loves meeting fans. Big Craig fan 🙌

[@candacewebb120]

[@robtheredrocker]

So so so so so so sooooo good for the sport.

[@artist7998]

I want an Engels t-shirt. Was so awesome to see this run in a shorted version on the broadcast of the indoor finals today what 5 times?

[@davidgriffith9818]

My hero! I love you Mr. Craig

[@Buffmalibudoctor]

Does anyone know where to buy the Nike Running Wild t-shirt he’s wearing at 1:36 ?

[@Chris-ro4zr]

Its a world tour shirt might get lucky on ebay but its limited edition for sure

[@Buffmalibudoctor]

@@Chris-ro4zr thanks!🤞🏻

[@davidlynch9049]

Have to respect a guy who can rock an 80s mullet. Keep working.

[@TrinhNguyễn-b4m]

Hey Nike I was wondering if you can post a vid on how to check if the Nike's are real or fake

[@runningcorrer]

[@YamilaArena1985]

🙏🏽🫶🏼🙌🏼

[@carolinadroneproductions]

I love this video!

[@hf6568]

A legend

[@crwnikeboy]

I just don’t think he has the drive, nor the talent to even make another Olympic or World Championship team. He’s not serious enough.

[@samiranafti2488]

Stay positive

[@chef_benny]

What watch is he using?

[@orionpacks]

its either garmin or coors

[@lilyhaffner8435]

What is wrong with the subtitles haha

​@@nelz2012 some words have both formal and informal definitions. 'literally' is one such word. informal definition = "used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true."

[@brentsmith880]

Craig you bloody legend

[@jrhurtado731]

The act of running

[@solangesantos4612]

very good

[@edword7195]

Enough of the BS with Nike downshift Nike is basically faking their own product. This is not a proper running shoe the sole material has no bounce not runner it looks it but its worse than running in a shoe. This shoe would be the worst first step if buy these would give up running. These are the worst running shoes ever had. I have had many Nike Pegasus and others. New balance even cheaper Hi tech. These are the worst of the worst. I used to run 10 miles a day in an hour in my 20s, now 10 miles a week. These look like running shoes but are not. Nike is basically choosing short term profit or fashion over sport. I feel conned by Nike. These were ladled ruining shoes in the Nike shop. A fake would have a better sole. Nike selling fake running shoes in their official shop., This brand they have retired from sport. You suffer because you wear Nike downshift try and decent brand

[@benm9901]

i love Craig. hes honestly one of my biggest inspirations just with how possitive he is. hes so relaxed yet still a very fast runner
