Abdihamid Nur & Woody Kincaid WORKOUT At 7,000ft 

The vibe in there is so calm, that's what gives his athletes the edge in races compared to other coaches

Zero chitchat in that workout. You can tell that was TOUGH and they were suffering like you read about. Amazing. Great work Gordon, happy the new endeavor is working out, no pun intended.

Smith is a coaching genius. I’m reminded of that every time I watch a video with him

This channel is pure gold I love watching these even before my own workouts and it really changes the vibe

Didn’t know Coach Aldo was like that 😤 Dude would just hop in and roll 64s like they were nothing

You should do more showing their stretches and warmup

if you arent use to the altitude it can be tough to adjust. abdi has been in flag for a good 6 yrs....with woody coming up this year it is a transition but i am sure the benefits will far outweigh the short term adjustments. i know my first semester at NAU was a tough transition but once we raced at sea level it made a huge difference when it came to the delay of lactic acid and the time it settled in.

Ignoring Andy butchart as he does a workout is wild 😅 star studded track

Both of the Mike Smith coached videos have been excellent. Love seeing him coach his athletes through change of pace highly race specific intervals and then adding threshold after.

Great video again Gordon. Fascinating to hear Mike Smith's mindset/rationale. Woody definitely catching up a bit on fitness. We'll see where he's at for The Ten.

I love how you can look like and act like an old Beastie Boy and still become one of the best coaches in the world. God bless the USA!!!

These videos are fantastic, Gordo! Abdi’s looking FIT.

Mike smith is a vibe. Taking his calmness into this upcoming XC season with my kids

May we ask who is the person running this channel who has all of this amazing access to these private workouts?

Coach Smith understands the sport like no other. For long grueling workouts like this it's best to keep calm, and not spend extra emotional energy. By yelling during hard workouts coaches are doing the exact opposite of what they should be. Motivation is hardly an issue with distance runners. Getting burnt out and too worked up during a workout is.

Played football up in there, the flagstaff altitude really ain’t no joke!

coach has brad pitt mannerisms and voice from money ball

Love the workouts and stuff, but I’m curious on what these type of athletes do in the weight room? Do they lift heavy or do they lift to target certain muscles?

Woody rallied…..Abdicate in shape

Mike Smith has to be the coolest guy on the planet

Casual 4:47 thresh at 7000 ft after all those intervals…

I have been a Mike Smith and NAU fan for awhile now. His methods and results are proven. I remember they did a documentary on NAU when Abdi was a freshman on that remarkable team. There was an episode where it was revealed that he did not make grades and had to step off the team. A true cross roads for an obviously talented athlete with big dreams. Even though it was just a footnote to the story of that team they included a very compelling meeting between Abdi and Coach Smith, who counseled his runner to stay in school and in Flagstaff rather than go home (which I recall was either phoenix or Tucson) and then come back. Smith told him if he went home he would not come back. A pretty direct message for a wounded 18 year old, but he obviously instinctively trusted his coach and stayed. It’s a kick to see how it is turning out. This is from memory after enjoying this workout so if I messed up the details sue me.

WOW that's a heck of a workout, whew, I got tired just for him reading what they were about to do!

Aldo the goat pacer

I know there’s science behind these workouts but I swear there were times I thought my coach was just seeing how much pain he could inflict on me… this seems like one of those workouts 😂

Are the different paces because Abdihamid is optimizing for 5k vs Woody for 10k or is it just down to fitness? Either way brutal workout at those paces. These guys are beasts.

When did Mike Smith start coaching Woody and Abdi?

"SMOOooth sixty..."

Great video!! Loving the content from this channel! Who was their pacer?

also, why is andy butchart in there 15:14? did not expect to see him

No Luis?

lucky enough to be training partner in 2012 for Rowbury and joined Team Cook training stints. It was common following a hard session for the group to run 800m in reverse (i don't recall if a pace was given or effort asked for). But I remember Shannon running close to 3:00; and the men running like 2:45 ish

Anyone know what Mike, as an employee of NAU, “gets” for coaching 2 Nike professional athletes?

Fantastic! These guys are gritty

why 7 minute break after the first 400m? is it moreso part of the warmup rather than part of the workout?

Abdihamid's form is smooth as silk.

Nur 🔥

Cameo from Butchy there

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

this channel is a sweat elite rip off but the content is pretty alright

Love these vids so much

Loving This Channel Oh Fuck Yeah!!!!!

Great work abdihamid got a huge potential

Loving this new style of videos Gordon

Hello

Fantastic!

So where can I get some, "Death Row TC" merch?

Rupp needs to get back to training like this

What paces are these guy still doing these reps at? Like for the 1600 rep was that like 3k or 5k pace

Mikes the man. Good dude right there

how big is this indoor track? I notice on the 400s they start on a straightaway but end at what looks like the start/finish line (opposed to that same cone they started at)

wow! they are amazing!

Epic title

Was that McSweyn jogging in the background?

Wow

Great video

😮🙌

I’m gonna be doing this workout right now

would be interesting to know if all the distances were the same effort levels or varied in each rep. As a coach the workout itself is meaningless unless you have an effort level you are focusing on behind the reps

so the recovery for 400mts is 2min? I been training so hard whit 1 min recovery or smthng, crazy when you don´t have the knowledge

BYU women’s coach needs to take notes

Welcome to death row?????????????????????Weird clickbait.
