    🔥🔥🔥 Can’t wait you see part 2!! Are you going to show the recruitment process?

      Looks like a lot of people are interested in that! If it doesn't make it into part two it'll definitely get it's own video. Love the suggestions!

    I’m hoping to one day to become as successful as you. I’m in 8th grade and this year i ran 17:06 in the 5k. I hoping to break 10 this year in the 3200

    It’s crazy that you found your passion from a situation that randomly happened. We never had any mandatory races in elementary school. Imagine if you’d never had it.

    Hi Charles!
    I believe the TH-cam recommendation algorithm suggested your "Day in the Life of a Stanford Student" and I am just really loving your content so far! You have such an amazing spirit, an encouraging and uplifting outlook on life, and as many have said in the comments of a few videos: you look like you're a terrific friend! :).
    Super long story short, but I ran XC and track in my sophomore year of HS and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I ran a little bit in college, but definitely not to the extent you are. However, your videos are totally inspiring me to get back into it! I really really want to run 5Ks, 10Ks, half and full marathons regularly in the future and it's really awesome to see someone knowledgeable and energetic about distance running, when much of the world dislikes running (for some reason!) or always preaches that "swimming is so much better for your joints". Yeah, yeah.
    Looking forward to watching more videos! Hope you are well and thanks for sharing your journeys with us on TH-cam!!!

    Just wanted to say it was great watching you (and even Chase) run for Bolles from the stands. Amazing races. You brought elite running to Duval and to Florida the likes of which I haven’t seen in awhile (Colin Barker, Sukhi, Arroyo, etc.) Overall, I want to see Florida represented well. Good luck moving forward.

      Thank you so much for these kind words! The program's goal was always to leave a legacy behind and I'm glad we achieved it, excited for the future tho!

    i know it’s been said, but I had no idea (despite the flag in your dorm room) that you are British! I assume that it’s because you were fairly young when you moved to the states that you lost most of your accent. Did you ever acquire a Southern accent at all? 🤔🤔🤔

    Currently a Bolles 6th Grade track and cross-country runner; we, or at least me and my fellow middle school runners, see you and Chase Rivera as Bolles legends. Aidan Ryan is forth in the top 50 leaderboard now, and currently, I wonder if he can take your 14:53 5k record next season.
