Return: Clayton Murphy | 2023 Debut Victory Film

[@miles7074]

Was able to get a picture with Clayton at the USA Championships in Eugene last summer. He was a gentleman even after a gutsy, difficult race when he probably would have rather been left alone. Keep up the great career.

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

Thanks for coming up to ask when you did. That was a super tough moment but it was a silver lining knowing I still had support so it's a good memory.

[@michaeldixon8342]

That’s some amazing race footage and editing, loved the whole thing!

[@wallyhernandez1645]

Hey Clayton: congrats on your first win of the indoor season. It was great to see your behind-the scenes preparation. Have been a big fan of yours since Rio, and wishing you all the best. I'll be running the M60 4x4 at Millrose with Greater Phila TC. Wishing you all the best!

[@xTrubusx]

Hi Clayton, Congrats on the season opener. Your mind set look's right and you form is good. This is going to be good season for you.

[@e3017]

Thank you as always, Clayton! Please take a moment to appreciate what you are living because it's so awesome even with its lows. Blessings to the family too! Great job

[@ellenolson1708]

[@tannermaier4182]

Love making it in the warm up stage of the video😮‍💨

[@carsonmalleet4367]

This awesome. Love seeing the quality just getting better and better with each upload. Thanks for sharing Clayton!

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

love to hear that! I guarantee no one spends more money on camera gear in the running game than Alex does so it better look decent 😂

[@barbbroad7130]

Clay, congrats on your 1000m race!! And a big thanks to both you and Alex for this excellent film so ‘we’ could witness the realities of what you honestly experience - mentally, emotionally, and physically - before, during, and post-race! You looked totally confident from your track practices with Coach LaBadie to your spot-on win in Iowa!

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

thanks for the support!!

At least a couple more indoor race videos🤞🏻

Clayton, don’t retire like everyone else! It would be cool to see you perform in 2028 Olympics.

Might have to do this for Millrose 🤔

[@malachifretz9042]

Absolute baller

[@aidenbriffett3454]

Loved the video format and was a great input into some real specific breakdown of workouts to give confidence of being able to handle those goal splits. Although is that kind of preparation something you can transfer up distances into the realms of 3k /5k without excessively fatiguing?

[@jgt1120]

Good stuff, by outdoor that 1k pace is going to turn into 1500m pace

[@brad.kearns]

Good job Alex haha.

That juco guy in your heat was cute 😍

[@yusufbaig3784]

Wow who made that thumbnail😍😍😍

[@GeoAce777]

Iowa track would look sweeter in charcoal black and dark yellow lines and numbers. Coach kinda sounds like Ron Warhurst in the beginning, RAD vid overall! Interesting, pre-race and hard workout meal was always a tuna sandwich, spicy nacho Doritos and half p&j sandwich, give it a shot! ;-)

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

haha thanks for all the comments! that would be a sickkkk track. no chance i would eat anything remotely spicy before a race but everything else sounds fire 😂

[@anthonygardner9479]

Hey Clayton! Great video man! I was wondering if you could recommend the wedding ring you wear for athletics?

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

honestly nothing crazy just a standard silicone wedding band off of amazon!

[@cartercline1307]

I can’t ever decide what color the Nike kit is😂

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

honestly me either

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

a garmin 245 music that needs an upgrade lol

[@miller10]

Have you tried the air zoom victory

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

yep! I use it from time to time, but it's not aggressive enough for me at this distance on a 200m track

[@miller10]

@@ClaytonMurphy800 oh alright thanks, for me I thought it the air zoom victory was too aggressive and changed to the dragonfly

What does Clayton rub on his legs before a race?

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

Tiger balm!

[@wifi2166]

dayamn so much pressure to perfom since you're an olmypic athlete. but it feels like you love it

[@beholdaminecraftsponge3943]

What is the benefit of putting tiger balm on your legs before a race?

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

helps warm up and relax legs ahead of racing strain

[@jaguar18]

You could see every other competitor falling apart and Murphy looked completely composed through the finish. Wow!

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

gotta save the final gear for when I really need it 🤫

[@thomaslidetu9207]

why you do 16km run ?

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

I've switched training from miles to K's recently so that's basically why. Just easier for the sake of splits and reps for my work.

[@thomaslidetu9207]

@@ClaytonMurphy800 16 whether in km or miles is too much man for 800 meter runner like you. I do believe you gone kill your power to surge those 400 meters. your tweak muscle have to keep them for sprinting fast. most runner who used to run on track going for road race now come back they can't run on a track because there muscle damaged. I run 14km max for my 10km road training to build endurance aerobic building stuff. your max around 6 miles just my experience with alot of runnner

[@isitrachelorj3953]

Sorry to be the "downer" here. 2023 preview? Clayton will do what he has always done - sit to far back in the pack to kick and pass the real ballers on the world stage. Champions work on their weaknesses. His coach should be pushing him to work on going out quickly, then finishing quickly. SCREW this 30/28 crap, 27/31 will get him ready for a more aggressive race. We all know he has heart and can finish fast, can he be in the race early on is the question.

[@RunnersUniteCoaching]

Have you ever ran an 800 race before?

[@isitrachelorj3953]

@@RunnersUniteCoaching maybe a hundred or more, nothing great (1:56), but that has nothing to do with what Clayton is capable of. Have followed him closely for years, same ole - same ole. Almost impossible to pull a Wattel these days.

[@isitrachelorj3953]

@@RunnersUniteCoaching well, no sophomoic response? Does my experience and "time" qualify me as knowledgeable, perhaps? This is not personal! I believe Mr Murphy stands a better chance of WC or Olympic gold by being more aggressive. You got to be in it to win it.

[@ClaytonMurphy800]

lol bye

[@isitrachelorj3953]

@@ClaytonMurphy800 not my intention to disparage your efforts. I've followed your career closely and believed that the 2016 sub 1:43 was something you could replicate because of your speed and strength. My comment was not thoughtfully composed, I apologize. Regardless, I will always watch, scream "Go Clayton" at the screen and hope for that aggressiveness/ recklessness that earns you a gold at WCs or Olympics.
