Workout Wednesday: Rise & Grind With NAU 

Mike Smith has the greatest voice in the world, change my mind.

Mike Smith is one of the best coaches in the nation rn. Dude is coaching nau, Nico Young, and Galen Rupp. That is insane.

Running for NAU would be so nice, wish I was a 4:05 miler

"the pushing is out of insecurity" holy crap

Mike Smith is more of a Dad than a Coach haha. Literally such a legend!

This workout was so aesthetically pleasing

Really loving this video, the beautiful sunrise, the sound of shoes hitting gravel, the energy, and the nurturing discipline :)

This is the best quality workout Wednesday this channel has ever made. Good job.

"an hour in the maze" lollllllll

Respect to all the runners waking up this early and grinding. They'll all go far in life with their work ethic.

I envy their team chemistry

Mike smith has to be the greatest coach right now in college, would love to be coached by him.

I bet dropping down from altitude when you're this fit is insane.

Anyone else hear Mike go: *exhale* "f×××" 12:25

Anyone would appreciate a coach like that; very observant, wise, and caring. Barely know anything about him but he seems like a beast

Mike smith said “ ahhh fuck “ at the end lmaoooooo

not even a distance runner but that thumbnail was pretty sick

Damn! I think this is a hard work out! No joke! NAU has some of the best runners in the country!

Mike smith is a G

Coach Smith ' I wonder what the penalty is for guys running around out here in short shorts and spandex? An hour in the Maze! Guys, just don't make eye contact with the clowns! 😆

I'm boutta start telling my athletes to "keep squeezing" lmao

Love this coach! Deadpan

Love this episode!! So good

Vids like this are so good, great inspiration

Mike smith goat of coaching

Beautifully produced film.

Mike Smith is riding that line between beatnik and hippie

great coach ....

Let’s go Drew represent Homestead

Who’s here after bosley got 3rd at ncaa’s ?

W for making it free !

Great video!

With scorpions and rattlesnakes moving around in dark. No way would I be a running mate .

What altitude do you workout at? If you all run a lot in the morning dark I can let you try a light belt I’ve come up with. The roads looked long and straight, but some of those trucks went by kind of quick on the asphalt.

Damnnn it’s dark

well make that decision in October its November 18th 4:29

The view tho!

Where’s nico tho

Coach Mitch Hedberg

lets go

Just curious, why are they in Indiana?

WhErE’s NiCo YoUnG?

Is this from last year?

cats got on nike tights

W

I wish mike was my coach

Im a big fat lazy ass. why am I even here.

Where is Mike Smith from? He has an unplaceable accent.

What were they doing in Indiana at the time?

Keep Squeezing?

Where’s Nico?

Rodriguez Dorothy Martin Joseph Taylor Margaret

Why start so so early ?

is nico there??

👍👏👏👏✋

keep squeezing XD

This workout looks like long tempo or long threshold pace, and the runners are Millers, the contribution of aerobic system is the principal way. Events like 1500/mile have to 70% of aerobic contribution and 28% anaerobic. While aerobic system gains for this type of athlete are between 65-75%vVo2max, what might it be like to work in a zone that comprises neither a base pace nor a race pace? How important can zone 2 be for these athletes? Thanks

Smith has a voice very reminiscent of Elon Musk

The real question is who has a better voice, Morgan Freeman or Mike Smith?

that's a good morning

when he makes them get out of the van to get a shot with the sun in the back lol

What shoes are they wearing? Addidas SL20?

funny opening
