12 miles of hills on Thunder Road 

lol!

lmfao bro

Nah man, they used to use humans as couriers even when we were using horses. Even the very modern marathon is modeled after the Battle of Marathon, where an Athenian runner ran 40km or so to deliver news of their victory, and they had horses in that battle. As late as WWII we had foot soldiers running messages. Sometimes a horse isn't practical.

They didn't use horses in real shitty, hilly terrain, rocky, terrain.

Nasty McJackass a

lol nice comment :D

Not even a joke

Not even that hard I can run a 5:20 and I was fat af a year ago

A mile isn’t that hard in 5 minutes.

I could finish a mile before finished this video but there is no way in hell I could do what they did.

Lmao I was wondering about that too. But tbh, at that pace I would die by like the 3rd or 4th mile

Same like I could mabye fo for half their run then I'd be dead

Lol!!!!

I did🤟🏾🔥

Zack Lang lmao, unless you’ve been running for a year or two, no.

Not too bad, a good hs kid could run close to these times.

@@420jettt2 that's not the point🤦🏿‍♂️they were running hills basically the whole entire time

ClickB8 what I’m saying is that this ain’t shit to them

420jettt you’re kidding right? not true at all except for like the top nxn and fl finishers

jason latina ez for these runners, not a fast hs kid

Smart logic👍😎

When I was an Army officer big muscle bound guys would gas out after two miles while the rest of us could easily finish six. Cross country runners, soccer players, basketball players and boxers were the best conditioned endurance athletes. Bodybuilders and football players could not finish our daily six mile runs .

Eric Handley yeah that’s what I thought till I saw a ex college football player run a 7:00 mile in a half actually probably a little less I think it was 6:40 some he was about 6’3 220 lbs of freak beast the only reason I knew he played college ball is cause my division leader also played college ball and knew the guy from playing against him. But I see what you’re saying there always gonna be genetic outliers

35353535 353535 no one is saying that so shut up

This guy obviously is oblivious to the monster runners the military has... never heard of Goggins?

Lolllllllllllll

I can help you find it. Where did you take it last?

Chia-Chun Hsu lol

hahaha

Katya Harte and it’s only they’re recovery run

And to think Eliud Kipchoge ran 26.2 miles (Berlin Marathon) at a 4:38 pace.

barchetta575m makes ya wonder

its just called training and will :)

It’s really not superhuman. If you wanna see super human see Eliud kipchoge😂😂

Lol

He probably had Runner’s high

@@number2pencil588 whats dat

The Noob House bruh

@@thenoobhouse2232 bruh

But what if these guys turn into zombies first? We would have serious problems.

Lol!

@@Tideman11 Omg I never thought of it that way😂😂

Brendon Earl what the fuck

Brendon Earl their*

He is a good coach, but a great coach would run with them.

They're listening to their coach who was there to instruct them.

Even better coach would let them run on him

MMCXII 2 years late, but they actually said cheese

Jiahan Wang lmao dead

Likdeisu

LMAO

OMEGALUL

LMFAO

Teo Practice

practice makes perfect

B9 Curse If it was that easy I would be pro right now

Teo They have been training here whole life. So it isn't just that easy. They have been working hard there whole life, that is why they are good at what they do.

B9 Curse I'm 17, been running 9 years. I'm faster than most but these athletes are another level.

Sammy Stearman ran*

Sammy Stearman i think its in km which means its more of a 8:51 min/mile pace

It's not in km

That is miles my friend, these are some really fucking fast guys!

Sammy Stearman lmao my best 12 miler is 6:47 pace lolol on flag ground

10-15 mile runs are the long days, every monday

Not really they're just building that aerobic base up and increasing mileage and they're consistent about it too that means doing the hard sessions really hard and the easy sessions really hard so they're not living in the fray zone

Jack Reen do you mean they’re doing easy sessions really easy? Also what’s the fray zone?

Training aerobics

In order to be good at cross country you can't just do 6k's every day. Hella long runs build the aerobic base required to pump out a fast 6 kilometers. 800 meter track runners need an elite aerobic capacity too, even for shorter distances, in order to maintain a blistering pace you must run significantly longer than what you will run in competition.

No you couldnt

F R 300 m ain’t that far tbh

@@xoticwanka7065 300m isn't that far lol

On the first hill i`d be dead

Update yeah a couple of them are sub 30 and the rest pretty close

Why are you here lol

Huttz001 he’s a runner lol he’s practically on every kinda known running vid like this one trying to cause trouble and what not cause he’s a big youtuber

Jack Bolger ok

What has been your progress?

@@chickennoodlesoup6397 I have been stuck at 5:50 (that's my average now) for about a year and a half now. I can't seem to get past it, but last week I have been trying to do a little "running program" in hopes of getting faster. for example, on Mondays, im running 3 miles at a comfortable pace to hopefully gain more stamina for that 1 mile. Wednesday's, i run the 1 mile as fast as i can and i do 6 timed hill sprints after. Friday, i run 1 mile as fast as i can again, and after, i pick a long distance (two neighborhood streets long) and i try to sprint the whole way as fast as i can without slowing down. i can't sprint all the way, but the goal is to be able to sprint the whole distance eventually. Hopefully that helps me get that 5:30 mile..even 5:00

I mean, these guys are college XC runners. They're definitely in insane shape, as I could probably hold that mile pace for 2 miles, not 12

Dude, you gotta be in insane shape to keep that pace for 12 miles. These dudes are the running elite.

Landon Erickson district finals in what? 7th grade?

Omar Rubio no 8th grade

Landon Erickson it's not possible

Landon Erickson my mile in sophomore year highschool was a 5:21

Landon Erickson they earned it by consistent quality training. No drugs no alcohol.

Saaaammmeee

Were you escaping an Obama abortion clinic?

Oscar Jay sure matey.

Boi you slow My parents Aren’t even born and I run a 0.000000000001 Mile

Fast mom

Slow

well how is it a run like this then?

@@mikkihintikka7273 I think that's the joke

@@austinmolitor7283 true

Well, they aren't exactly taking it easy, they were doing an uptempo run, meaning it's faster than easy pace but slower than a tempo run.

it’s not genetics

@@Postermaestroah you don't know that.

Don’t insult the people’s hard work with genetics stupid kid

@Dovakiin seventeen Says one thing about genetics "genetics this genetics that you're an innate coward" take it easy there.

@Jack D. Ripper vo2 max is generally not really relevant like the specific value of it. Many top level distance runners don’t have a super high vo2 max like in the high 80s but they’ve maxed out their genetic capability and therefore they’re still really fast. Most peoples vo2 maxs aren’t limited by genetics they just simply don’t train enough to reach their genetic maximum. The same with lactate threshold like yes you can be born with a high threshold but you need to train in order to maintain it and even without the right genetics via the proper training you can get a similarly high lactate threshold

Probably fell asleep and didn't realized they were finished.

It's cause he's the best from the team he always has to run an extra mile

Dont you mean JV

Mark Balan junior college

Its Patt stay focused this summer.

Its Patt she

viviileee and then you walk The trail and you’re like what the fuck is a gently rolling hill in their mind

They just felt like runnig

Because they are tough and ambitious probably unlike y..

CamColeParker my best was a 6:42 I was 12 I think

Joe S i could keep up for a mile.

crni_tekac I can only for 1200

i think maybe because they’re taller 🤷‍♂️

SirLlama2000 Hey still faster than me. I'm so inconsistent. It's my third year and I still run 22. But my 1500m for track is 4:57. I'm not cut out for anything longer than a mile

rowlieflores I

I ran a 5k in 21:23 and I am only 10

Taylor Pickford 😶impressive 😏

Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this okey stop lying

Vaoiq Force holy shit I just noticed

Donkey Kong what u mean???

Yes

Yes

No

QuiteInteresting Because that's why he is at the level he is at

QuiteInteresting it’s called determination

Maybe because 13 miles is half a marathon.

Gotta push yourself to get better.

He must have read his Bible that morning. There's a verse about going the extra mile.

Annynick C not true u just have to make up the lost calories by eating more
