Came for the race, stayed for the tears. Spencer, congratulations on a great XC season, it was great to watch you run throughout this whole year, but now, it's time for track baby!
Be proud of all the moments and all the struggles. You’ve grinded since the early summer and you are ready for the greatest year of you life. Good luck, Spence!
You are my favorite RU-vidr. Your races pushed me to finally break 20 minutes by almost a minute. I’m crying for you right now. This season was amazing, and I’m soo proud of you
Saw a Georgetown banner at my school, instantly had athlete special flashbacks😂 Just started a RU-vid channel about running, thanks for the inspiration!
Dang last race of the season is always hard. I am a sophomore that lives in GA and I wanted to get a 17:15 at state but ran a 19:46 there is no excuse for that so now I have dedicated my offseason training to make me stronger mentally so that never happens again. But watching RU-vidrs like you and Zach levet have helped me get through the thought times. Like the way you train, eat, and sleep. One day I want to have accomplished what you all have and make it somewhere in life. Keep up what you are doing and never stop makes these videos because evertime you upload one it changes someone’s life , like it has changed mine. We need more RU-vidrs out there like you. Never give up Ps. You think we can go in a run sometime 😂🏃🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ Sincerely -Mohammed Ibrahim (aka MO)
I've never ran cross country or track but I love seeing all of those runners at the start. It makes me think of a battle charge. I wish I could be in there and come in last.
Spencer I just started watching running related vids on RU-vid, and since I’m old I find it kind of weird that these are a thing, but you are an authentic dude and a very good runner - far and away the least cringe-inducing of all running youtubers. Good luck in track
Huge thanks for motivating me to do the best I could during my XC season by doing your best throughout your season! I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your college running career. much love Spencer ;)
Im still running and I am a master runner. Dude we have masters xc country too. Dont ever give up on your running it brings balance to your life and it always will be your best friend through good times and bad.
Congrats man! I go to Indiana state, the school that hosts it, and run track there so I got to work the meet and see you run, which was super cool. I’ve enjoyed your content!
I went there to watch! Did you hear me screaming? You didn’t but me and my teammate Eric tried to catch up on ur cool down jog but we saw a lot of people stopping you so we figured we would leave you alone cuz it looked like you had a rough race :/ amazing job though you’re really Inspiring That VT guy had some balls
Big fan Spencer! Stared watching your channel shortly before you hit 10K followers because my son is a HS distance runner and I thought what better way to get a glimpse inside a day in the life of a D1 college distance runner. Well, who would have guessed that just a couple weeks ago my son was contacted by G'town and we're coming out for an official in mid January! Hopefully we'll get to meet when we come out...
Nice to see the relisatation of yr talent in yr eyes before the race...yr pre season has been awesome....most of all...biggest/most important!!!! PARAMOUNT - Enjoy it x
My friends had their last XC race and trust me, they don’t want to talk about XC or they would cry. I’m scared about having my last XC race because I don’t want to go
Your NCAA Championship race was just like my sectionals cross country race. Felt good before but I just didn't finish the way I wanted. Can't wait to see what you do on the track!!
Been rewatching Spencer's old videos in preparation for my summer training going into cross country... gonna come back a beast if I have anything to do with it!
I run on that course 2-3 times a season as a high school runner in Indiana.... and My god is it a hard course. 1st K downhill, everything else is uphill. Challenging course and a slower one then most, don't be too worried about it not being the greatest race ever, it rarely is for anyone! :D
Amazing season Spencer. It may not have ended the way you wanted but looking forward I think you have a ton to give for track season. Take your break, and come back strong homie 💪
I came out there and saw you race man, and it may not have been the best race but hey at least you ended it at nationals. I know you'll do great in track, you got it man
That course is always a mud fest. They have like 15 meets there every year. Good season, don't feel bad track is just around the corner. #PositivityIsKey⚒️
Hi, so I need help. Im a cross country runner whose coming off of my 2 week break and I'm wondering when I start to do light intervals for my base period, what time trial would I need to do in order to accurate paces. Do i need to do a mile, 2 mile,etc time trial? Keep in mind that I'm primarily a 800/1600m guy who can go up to 3200 and go down on a 4x4000 relay. How often should I do one? Should it just be once for my base period or every couple of weeks? Also, I'm more of a speed based distance athlete with my best event being the 800m (including 5k/xc).Any help?
img.runningwarehouse.com/pdf/middle_distance_guide.pdf It's hard to write a cookie cutter guide for all runners but this is as close as it gets. Read through it to get a rough idea of how you should be handling your progressions from season to season.
I drove 3 hours to come watch you race bud! You did great. Also I asked on of your teammates where The Athlete Special was and they said you were busy lol. I told them to subscribe to my channel tho lol.
