Way better than flotrack, no music just listening to the feet hitting the ground and nice running rhythm

[@crummockiphail9720]

There's a lot I like about this channel, but the lack of music can't be overstated. I hate that royalty free upbeat hip hop that gets plastered all over every other running channel. That format is so over-used and over-copied that it's just cringe at this point.

First of all, their cool down is faster than I run right a mile right now lol. Second, that was a thing of beauty. I almost shed a tear. Tertiary, I honestly felt like I was at practice. That was an amazing feeling.

Voice of the soccer coach cuts through worse than nails and chisels on a chalkboard. Was she voice competing? Holy hell!

[@michaelwhiting5141]

Killin' it, Matt! The pre and post-workout stuff you keep in from the coaches is gold. Keep it up, man - this channel is gonna blow right up.

[@blackmzungu]

love how abdihamid nur doesn't look at his watch or takes any splits at all

[@rahelwijeyekoon9403]

Eh, maybe he should considering that every rep he paced was a little faster than prescribed... Obviously it's good to be able to run without looking at your watch frequently, but I'm guessing Coach Smith would prefer that he looked at his splits a bit more often if it meant he hit the prescribed paces.

[@kaismithley6173]

@@rahelwijeyekoon9403 he still hit very close to them without the watch so I see no issue

[@rahelwijeyekoon9403]

@@kaismithley6173 Coach Smith shouted that they were going too fast on two of the reps he paced. If your coach feels the need to point that out, I'm pretty sure that qualifies as an issue... He was 3-4s fast for multiple reps, which is pretty far off pace for such short reps.

[@chrisvarelabenitez4690]

Yeah you’d be surprised a lot of the top guys are so humble that they don’t care about getting their splits and posting them on Strava, etc. I love how he’s rocking more clothing

[@kaismithley6173]

@@chrisvarelabenitez4690 that's facts, I think it's just because it's cold in flagstaff though he'd probably be working out shirtless with splits if it was hot

[@willv88]

Love the start. Training sessions can't be all-out all the time. That's a sure way to burnout. I see athletes talking about how Strava uploads have to be quick for the fans and it's a vicious cycle.

Why is it that nike school especially big dawgs like oregon who get tons of gear don't wear other brands while we see NAU which is a insane program wearing other brands. Same for drake seen from Fogg

[@karsonkevin2]

The whole reason the brand sponsors them is so that they race and train in the gear. When I was in college, if someone showed up in non-issued gear, they would get chewed out by the coach. Watching this video, they look kind of scrappy because people are wearing random color shirts and shoes.

[@chrisvarelabenitez4690]

Probably for training it’s fine but for racing it’s strictly Adidas. My buddy trains at SUU and wears Adidas spikes for racing but he trains in Nike trainers.

@@chrisvarelabenitez4690 Nico ran his 10k pr in dragonfly’s last season

[@dorynemo8938]

Not that serious…they get payed by nau not by adidas themselves

[@tylerstogsdill]

Because Nike sort of has a monopoly on the best gear at the moment. Company’s understand and just ask that they wear their gear for races. When it’s about winning sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

Sapagkat gayon na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa sangkatauhan, kaya't ibinigay niya ang kanyang kaisa-isang Anak, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay hindi mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. Isinugo ng Diyos ang kanyang Anak, hindi upang hatulang maparusahan ang mga tao, kundi upang iligtas ang mga ito sa pamamagitan niya. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
