Honestly though. It's okay to go your own pace, rather than "kill yourself," trying to go a pace faster than your current fitness allows. It's patience and listening to your body that will help you improve, not just hitting certain splits.
Seriously. It's bizarre watching these elite level runners eat like shit. If you're going to train like a champ you should eat like a champ. Salmon, steak, eggs, organ meat, fermented foods, clean foods, clean water, grass fed animals, bone broth, deenz, etc. I can't imagine the level TAS would be at if he ate cleaner.
@FromRussiaWithLove Imagine thinking that food is only about calories and sodium intake. Junk food isn't bad because it's salty and calorie dense. It's bad for a myriad of far more critical reasons.
@@azteacher26@FromRussiaWithLove you both got points, I train as a semi elite athlete (1'52" 800 at 19yo) and I feel that you can eat something a little unhealthy once in a while (still I believe I eat healthier than him so maybe he's got to tune that). Appart from that, I'm from south america so most food Is healthier here making it easier
Definitely think a video with Coach Mackey would be interesting, from his social he just seems like an incredibly intelligent thoughtful and caring guy who's much deeper then just a stereotypical running coach where running is there whole lives. Would love to hear a conversation between you two and how training is, his philosophy, and what makes this group different from the rest as your career with the Beasts progresses.This was a really cool video thinking about some of the little side conversations you could hear especially towards the end. They call you the King for a reason because you come up with the goods like this video 👑😂. Keep going keep inspiring
Really good. Sub five minute mile repeats. Impressed. And then today I watched six women average 4:54 per mile for 13.1 miles in the half marathon in Poland.
Me with my 6:37 mile time... seems physically impossible to run even a quarter mile ONCE at the speeds these guys run at. Yet they make it look relatively easy. Great running and great video guys 👍🏻
spencer: Ive cleaned up my diet... Also spencer: Eats a snicker bar Also spencer: Eats BBQ Also spencer: says he eats pancakes in the morning what a stud, respect
Awesome to see you back to your blogs wasn’t sure if it was going to be close to the same and if you’re not feeling hot about the different workouts or not feeling like the new kid and there’s something wrong with you and last great haircut look more serious 😜but still Spencer
very hard training man!!!...this training is for elite runners!!!...me i m starting now after 2 years off and i can mile repeats in 6 min...you guys you are another level!...greetings from greece to americans brothers!
It will be interesting to see how Spencer does as an 800m/1500m runner on this type of training. From the videos posted so far, it looks like all the workouts are at his 5-10k pace or slower, which is unusual for a middle distance runner, especially with competitions coming up soon.
The ending really stuck with me, as I am not at the same fitness level of a few of my teammates and tend to fall behind in all of our runs. You have to find the balance between pushing yourself and overdoing it, even if your teammates run faster. Also a good teammate encourages their teammates to be the best they can be, no matter where they are at
how much do you think all these guys on the beast team make $$? are they all getting a good salary from the team or do they work normal day jobs to support themselves. would be curious to know this stuff to get more insight as to the life for pro runners.. but i get it if its not something they'd want to share on video
Got a silly question - I follow also Tinman Elite, both channels have multiple guys running in the mountains, and a similar vibe, are those channels related somehow? :D
Yeah hearing the difference between the G'Town mentality and Brooks is really interesting. Maybe the mental strength it built outweighed the not ideal paces.
New Sub! Pro running channel?! Athlete Special now on the grind with BrooksBeasts! Right there with ⛏Men! Little things... Your taking Vitamin D, how much IU/mcg? what was your blood test at? Thank you&All the Best!
The track looks like the first track I ever ran on..in 1969! I like that they used training shoes I liked that they changed directions. I have never trained w that many guys post collegiate..let alone a coach. But I cant call that a world class workout...I would think they could run 6 miles at that pace. Maybe header for video was misleading
Spencer, I’m a XC coach out of North Carolina and I’ve been following your content for around year now. Your content has helped my kids grow as athletes and I’ve enjoyed following your journey from NCAA to becoming a pro runner. I’d love to set up a Zoom meeting with you to discuss XC programming tips and ideas. Message me back if you’re interested.
@@ryantherunner821 Nope, I'm a coach out at small 1A high school in Central North Carolina about 40-45 minutes north of Raleigh. I ran in high school and have been coaching for five years now. This is my second year as a head coach and the biggest goal I made for myself this year was to really improve in my programming so that it was purposeful & helpful to my kids.
