Shoutout to Will in the chat

[@Perrigoparkrun]

Nice job Spencer!! Will be fun to see you back to Perrigo for another crack at our course record of 15:30. Love the promotion you are giving to parkrun👍

[@electro479]

Love seeing the whole race, shows perspective of your speed and competition, with the overlay commentary this is golden content :)

[@daveconvoy5793]

Hope your extraordinary efforts are inspiring people to get into Parkrun Spencer

[@bcrruns1085]

Local legend indeed! This 5km every week series is very entertaining and you seem to be enjoying yourself way more than you have in a long time. A happy runner is a successful runner.

[@iq_by_0303]

I tihnk its just so cool that you filmed the whole race. When i was watching the last parkrun videos i was thinking that this would be a great add on and now you actually did. very nice!

[@mustardseedsociety]

I am so happy you're promoting "Park Run" !! GOD bless you Spencer !! I think "Park Run" is a good thing for the sport because I think prior to 2020, the race fees were getting WAY OUT OF HAND and although I'm NOT against raising money for good causes, it seemed the sport had money raising as #1 and the actual sport itself was secondary. "Park Run" kind of balances that out some. In my area {the Dallas Fort Worth area} I just "discovered" a "Park Run" that is {kind of} nearby. That all being said, if I did have a wish for "Park Run", my wish would be to alternate 3K with 5K. I don't know why this is, but the 3000 meters is my favorite distance {non Steeple - not a fan of the Steeple 3K, but sure am "regular" 3K} Anyhow, those are my thoughts - but regardless, thanks for promoting "Park Run". Maybe you could be instrumental in making "Park Run" very popular here in the "States".

[@matthewhenson190]

Try the Des Moines Creek Parkrun. It’s an out and back course, slight incline on the way out which allows for a fast second half. Course record is in the lower 16 minute range

[@mikestevenson1334]

Spence, that was an INSANE time! You're getting fitter and faster with every video. Love it! =D

[@mattolsen2239]

That bridge is an old rail road trestle. The cedar river is a rails to trails that used to be part of the Milwaukee Road. Great run! Way to kill it!

[@legend0r]

I'll never forget your 3:59 my brother. U rock. Big fan!

[@aliciafenner3098]

WOW amazing job!! Awesome job pushing the pace the whole way through :) Love your videos keep up the awesome hard work!!

[@SheldonGrunwald]

I am really enjoying the parkrun series. I look forward to them every week

[@BNice-sl4sq]

Had to watch Allie first but this was fun. Good job Spence.

[@kevinmshea58]

Another banger. Cannot wait to see some races from Boulder.

[@Rocket_man07]

I subbed about a week or so ago. Love the vids! Especially the park runs, you crush it and always good vibes

[@mariahybinette5376]

Me too - LOVE seeing the whole race! and I want both you and Allie to race one of these park runs :D would be so fun! you are both amazing!!

[@theodoretheo1482]

You are doing very well man. Keep it going, don't try to fix what is not broken... Just keep using that training method, it's working for you. Don't change anything man🙌

[@MyFatAdaptedLife]

Well done. The next time you and Allie are in NorCal you will definitely have to run Bixby. Too bad you missed it the last time. Sorry I missed you at Track Fest.

[@Bweyg]

No spoiler prediction is 15:45 for this 5k! Edit: WOW! Absolutly CRUSHED my prediction, 15:22! That is AMAZING speed, 4:56 mile pace, that's only a minute off of your fastest 5k, 14:21! Sub 15 no doubt, maybe back on the series, the 13:59 project? LET"S GO SPENCE LET"S GOOOO!

[@Julian-ec5jj]

yoooo ive completely moved on from running since hs, working for a living now nearly 20 and seeing these every week gives me such a great boost , truly fuck with this format its a vibe. spence going back to boulder lesssgooooo

[@Leeroy49]

Now that is a serious improvement. Congratulations :).

[@garethhornby4694]

Dude!! 🤩🤩👌 Great running Spencer 👏 and great videoing by Will 🤩

[@corgicakie3822]

If Spencer is coming to Colorado, he should totally do the Colfax 5k this weekend for his first time out here.

[@auburnmann3630]

If you ever have time, we would love to have you try some Parkruns on the East Coast. College Park MD is one of the largest in the country and is a fun, flat out-and-back course!

[@jintaromikami8442]

Amazing! Great work. 💥 Also, course is an absolute beaut! Would love to run this someday.

[@Donovanplays179]

Keep it up Spencer, love the series.

[@benjaminducheny2237]

Fantastic video and great time, keep it up.

[@adaptablerubenvideos3097]

Great your muscle memory is helping you get closer and closer to your very old 5k and mile pbs

[@jeff09_]

I’d like to watch an uncut version of your races! Even if it’s an unedited version of the footage on an unlisted playlist I’d like to see the progression of your form in real time

[@benjamin.kelley]

Really getting better my man! High a GoPro + $20 bike mount, or even just a bike mount for a phone will make your and your camera operaror's lives easier, and make your videos look more consistent.

[@SpeedyBlueBiker1]

Great job on a basically solo effort. Have fun in Boulder! Hey, set up an interview with Frank Shorter who lives in Boulder. Get his thoughts on the upcoming Olympic marathon.

[@martinrollo5540]

great series! love parkrun

[@infovidasupps8640]

Absolutely incredible!!! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾 Happy

[@andrewmitchell5807]

Spence, this is what you were missing in your pro career: actual race experience

[@davidsawyer10]

Come hang out at the Denver Colfax Marathon!

[@stevehumphries8070]

Amazing time Spencer 👏🏃🏼👍 What sort of intervals are you running to get faster 5 x 1K 6 X 800m etc?

[@runbyron]

Way to run!!! Fun to watch.

[@randylazer2894]

Great improvement!

[@zzwd78fudwfuwfsw]

this gives me old athlete special vies idk why

[@PoetWithPace]

This is so dope!

[@crankgreenwatts]

Well done and super strong finish 👏

[@tomjbreen]

You killed it!!

[@JDog_Vlogs]

YEAHHH; Spencer on that come up

[@jimmurray9214]

Meet at Runhub Northwest shoe store in Eugene Oregon 6 pm community runs every Wednesday. on Pre’s Trail. Come by when you’re in Eugene next month and run with us.

[@AndresVieyraOficial]

KEEP IT UP LOCAL LEGEEEEND! 🔥

[@9MRSG]

Really great run

[@gregoryluna535]

Get that man some body glide. Any running store will have it.

[@ThatGuy-xg7eb]

Nice video Spencer!! I was just wondering, what’s your all time 5k PR?

[@nathanprice4031]

Some boi 💪🏻

[@grantintocontent8361]

7:21 he said where I lived

[@ChrisJ759]

Crazy how some runners make 3:04/km look effortless. I'm doing Ireland's National 5k Championship and will be thrilled to go under 16:00... Should I wear the Nike Streakfly or Vaporfly?

[@marcoscrespo934]

Vaporfly for sure.

[@DanielEarlester]

Great job. And you got there on time

[@hiltop717]

It ma keys a different when you run for fun, no pressure with no worries.

[@rickbowker]

that's an epic improvement, parkrun UK will hate this video!

[@antdaboss__1239]

Ran my first sub 20 today, 19:42 🎉

[@HybridRunner]

Parkrun record destroyer

[@TheoryandRobG]

DUDE YES!!

[@RonanRuns]

I like the whole race, that way i can watch the whole thing, and if it gets boring, i can skip to a better part of the race

[@alastairscott9257]

Bro was like it’s a little bit hotter…. Also bro is wearing a long sleeved

[@hannesbengtsson7164]

Amazing effort!

[@LightspeedAstronaut]

What record, parkrun in their infinite wisdom removed 20 years of stats and records a few months ago ?!

[@jonl2938]

Yep, total ridiculousness. Apparently the woke mob yelled loud enough that this wasn’t “inclusive”. I was chatting with our parkrun director and apparently even the age graded percentages are now potentially at risk of getting dropped.

[@SlyOxr]

The course record is what he beat.

[@gosforthdrivers7720]

they no longer publish the course record. which I believe is a mistake. but is still just a quick search on the results page to find out what it is (until they remove that :-( )

[@Klian159]

YESIRRR!!!!!! HE"SS BACKKKK!!!!

[@Lancelliot7]

Do you post your weekly runs anywhere? I would like to try to imitate it with slower pacing obviously

[@DoveLoverrrrrrxd]

Strava; spencer brown He mostly does easy running now

[@aussieintn8036]

Yes, someone running a fast 5k almost every week probably can improve with almost all easy runs otherwise.

[@DoveLoverrrrrrxd]

True, if your looking for fun and quick improving training method; get a look at the easy interval method. I went from a year from sub 20 to sub 16

[@siwarkool1119]

15:22 is also my pr😅, nice run by the way

[@shrankai7285]

Nice video! No way your name is Local Legend Brown on the time sheet

[@pedrogoncalo1097]

hey Spencer i would love to see you run a sub 30 min 10k one day please do it

[@DemoBallisticsCar]

How is Will doing in general man. Been a long time since we just got a sit down with him

[@mariahybinette5376]

Wow CONGRATS!! do what do and you get fast haha!

[@kevinc4736]

Crushing it 🦾

[@carterthompsonruns]

[@Jean-uw7uk]

[@iancollinge1614]

[@kf430]

[@nro337]

[@MicealCanavan]

Shoutout lion Will

[@TeenTri_Life]

Ingebrigtsen were are you?

[@paulgallagher6544]

Giving people an hour head start was a bit too sporting! Great race course. Smashed that one. Hope the injury stays away.

[@Tpulaski]

Only 5 more weeks until we're sub 13!!!

[@timothymyszak1163]

Not bad !!!

[@spiropapas9577]

I was the guy right behind you

[@danielrunz]

bros officially faster than me now 😢

[@danielburton6221]

Great job wow!!!

[@GotDamBoi]

got dam boi!

[@rm6857]

WR incomming in a few months

[@cmo3]

You make fun videos and I’d watch them even if you weren’t as fast.

[@allie_ostrander]

Here for the hyperventilation montage

[@brennus01]

I wonder if all this 5k work will help your mile strength? You should use all these 5k's as 'base training' then target an 800m race...then just bang a mile to see how it goes.

[@tquasa07]

Probably could, considering his 1:51 in the 800 last year was better than his best mile, but I think all of his mile efforts were run solo last year... but the fact that his 800 was so good, probably does mean his endurance base wasn't as good as we / he had thought. Anyway, I'm curious what Spence has to say about that

[@JM-sq3ic]

Shout out to Will :)

[@R3Pros]

How did bro improve by two mins 😅

[@tquasa07]

He's down 3 minutes, I think? And it's almost linear since 2 months ago

[@Hornets-Panthers-Knights92]

Nice

[@Skippygoesharder]

Just 1 minute off of 5 months ago!! Bro you can do this and get back to it.. only like 7 seconds off of what Isaiah Harris ran 5 months ago… I’m just livin’ like so what!

[@bradynanderson4907]

Wow

[@auburnmann3630]

Almost back in World Class shape 💪🏿

[@Piper_Runs-ox5sp]

Run slower first half 2nd half can be faster to run a faster 5k

[@CocoisQueen1]

First!!!! Love the passion for running ❤❤ pin??

[@itzStrFtw]

Damn you’ve gotten slow

[@wesleytwiggs7687]

I don’t really understand how this motivates you. Did you just give up on going sub 4 in the mile again?
