Excellent news. Embrace the slow. I’m volunteering at Leadville. I’ll have a giant Kipchoge poster ready for you at Twin Lakes Aid Station. Only a matter of time until the Greatest turns up for some Ultra Greatness.
This was even better than the regular stuff, keep em coming!! 😂
Watched to the end and commenting for the algorithmic juice
Can I really be the first person to comment pointing out that the blue T-Shirt Steven wears when talking to us in this video bears the prominent text "The San Juan Solstice 50 Mile Run, Lake City, Colorado 2024" ? Dude totally honored the June High Altitude 50 mile race's request to keep their name out of this! Good luck in Leadville and everyone say hi to my buddy Joe Chernowski as he runs Leadville 100 this August.
haha I noticed that as I was editing. completely unintentional! Thanks! will need to make a list of people to look out for -- there's a few in these comments
Well for anyone who didn't notice the T-shirt (me), there was always the finish line banner haha.
I love that the video is exactly 8 minutes long, such a pro.
Plus one second. Strava has trained him well. You always include one more second for the round-down!
Next time it would be nice to have the agenda before the video drops
@@TheSeriousRunner Make sure the actual agenda has nothing to do with the meeting invite agenda. #SeriousCorporate
Trail running is where the slow runners always end up. I should know. I just signed up for my first trail race.
Training to watch more of these
This one goes out to the algorithm 🍻
Finally some quality running inspiration.....training for Leadville and yes Im extremely average and never run at altitude or 100 miles. Its going to be awesome.
You call that coffee footage, without a single bean grinding sequence….amature
@@TheSeriousRunner , record it as B roll, 60fps 4k so it will look epic when you run it in slo-mo behind a breathy voice over with an ambient backing track. Easy extra 2 min to hit that magic 10..😉
Eva at the end was the best bit
Really enjoy the content and Eva, way to loop the dog in, it hooked me
I’m pacing hardrock this weekend. Wish me luck.
Excellent video, that was fun to watch! I'm training for the Ute 100!! Also, super cool to see Sage so involved in your training, if he does that for all his clients then count me in! (DISCLAIMER: I'm already a huge fan of Sage and Higher Running, was great to see him in this vid)
Shots fired at Floberg
I’m training for a Backyard Ultra. Going in with the mindset of going 24 hrs. There. Algorithm handled.
Never unsubscribing! Great entertainment here always😂
Yaaas!! A training run gnarly enough to leave the Tracksmith singlet at home is finally SERIOUS running!! Comment for the algorithm, so you can buy Eva some treats.
Also, don't let Sage shame you for your pole's length. I'm sure they're perfectly average!!
Helping the algorithm and letting it know that I’m training for AC100 (Aug 3). Kick ass at Leadville!!! Hope Pass has got nothing on you 💪
@@TheSeriousRunner thank you! It’ll be Type 2 fun. Hopefully not Type 3 😬
Happy to see Serious Trail Runner's winter skimo training paying off
Man, I wish you all the best for the race, I'm training for sub 24 hrs as well and i hope everything goes fine, my goals are pretty aligned with yours ahaha, so, I hope to see you prior the race and have some coffee. Pretty cool fact is that Sage and Sandy were my first real coaches, they brought me to this point of time and it's a blast to see him helping you!
Sage and Sandi are the best. Yes, hope to see you out there for some hiking and eating... or some coffee at city on a hill ☕️
@@TheSeriousRunner Sounds like a plan! I'm arriving on 8/14th, planning to do some miles that day in Twin Lakes and some miles on 8/15th in Turquoise Lake, maybe we can run together or get some coffee or both! Take care mate and be safe till race day.
I'm training for my neighborhood 1 miler followed by a beer on my front porch.
Total video time on point 👌🏼
Fantastic video- good luck!
More Eva please!!!!
Just here to help the algorithm
Comment for the algorithm. And Eva.
Welsh 3000s sub 1 hours. Love the vids 😂
thumbs up for the serious vlogger👍
Perfect video length, like it 🎉
Is @seriousrunner becoming a hybrid athlete, street racing AND trail racing???!!! Impressive
just a break for the summer. trying not to work hard all year round
The greatest 😂
Love it
In order to help the algorithm:
As a serious athlete my goal for the rest of the season is the pentathlon at states championship which is something the hobby joggers in the comment section won't relate to because other than the 1500m - which is actually run kind of fast - it also includes sprinting, throwing and jumping.
...great video
Didn't recognize you without the singlet. It's like seeing James Harden without a beard, it's just not right.
So previous hints about becoming a trail runner were Serious after all! This was thoroughly entertaining, just the right length, and I had no temptation whatsoever to unsubscribe, let alone skip to Eva. Good luck with Leadville. If you get into WSER, my coach has been asking me for years if I want to volunteer there. He’s managed the finish line for a long time but is pivoting to managing an aid station. I’ll accept if you get in.
Let's hope it happens for next year. Then, also, we might actual meet up in person 🤣
@@TheSeriousRunner I'll be in the audience in Auburn, hoping you get in, AFTER I do of course.
Watched to the end for Eva.
For the algorithm...
You are now a serious blogger
I took notes during the video and have captured everyone's action items, let me know where I should sent it to distribute to the group
Eva is so kawaii! No ultra planned for this summer, probably because I am lacking the great coach of yours
I do enjoy a summer slowness. Last year was just hiking and long walks…. Or is it called ultras? 😱
Slowliness for epicness...
As a serious runner, i'm turning 50 in Dec, so naturally I'll be signing up for a 50 miler and using it as content. I forgot to unsub, so when I do that I'll be sure to send the email.
Running your age just gets progressively more silly. And yes, when you do finally decide to unsubscribe, please let me know!
Becoming a hobby walker
Let’s chaf!
I believe NYRR removed half marathon races to qualify for the full as of last year (2023). Source: me, running 1:15 in Brooklyn but still needed to run sub 2:36 for a full marathon to get into NYC 2025, but you crushed that race!
I keep reading the qualifying page for NYCM and it seems like NYRR half marathons still count. They still publish Half-marathon qualifying times... I thought you weren't allowed to use a non-NYRR race, but their own races count?
@@TheSeriousRunner Your analysis looks correct. I suppose if Lars had run 1:15 at some other Brooklyn half (not the "RBC Brooklyn Half by NYRR") it wouldn't count, but the NYRR half marathons clearly still do.
Oh come on, is that all you've got on Eva?
I'm gonna do an 8-minute video of just Eva footage at some point.
I'm training for the Shawnee Hills trail races 100k, I'll be my 1st time "running" a "real ultra"!
hope you can film leadville , good luck
Let's hope the BAA doesn't secretly pull puppet strings with Lifetime.
Would Kipchoge shit in the woods on the CT? Yes, yes he would. (also... see you in Leadville August 17th!)
...watching Serious Runners videos aren't considered productive?.... i've been logging it in my stand-ups every week....
It's a summer of speed for me, targeting the Tracksmith 5000 in LA then some fast 5ks and 10ks in the fall
Do you mind asking Tracksmith about my sponsorship deal while you're there? thx
kinda like the slide show format.... Lean into that!
For the algo! (Marine corp marathon)
Why does Eva always look tired? are you subjecting her to hiking and eating??
I'm training for San Francisco Marathon in East Coast heat and humidity. Last time jI checked they are making it super flat this year. It should make NYC marathon easy in November.
@@TheSeriousRunner It's going to be my 5th time doing the race. Thank you 9+1.
Thats a neat camping van and setup.
Does it get internet?
Do you use it to work remotely if you take trips to the mountains?
Would be a cool video doing a tour of the CO van life
Thanks. We currently have a Verizon MiFi which is a hotspot, but we're looking into a mini Starlink since so many camping spots in CO have zero cell service. We mostly use it for weekend trips, and occasionally for working remotely during the summer.
@@TheSeriousRunner that would be cool. i don't know much about starlink, but would be curious if you have success working remotely in the mountains with it.
I'm also training to walk to the loo
I figure I watch someone else waste 6+ years of their life trying to get picked for Western instead of trying myself. Thank you Steve for uninspiring me to waste so much time running a bunch of qualifying races that I’m not that interested in. God Bless!
The "secret" race is my all time favorite race in Colorado.
Hope pass after the turnaround in Winfield is a bitch.
Yeah.. I'm sure it will feel less easy on the way back at mile 55 or so
Serious Runner dropping a vlog, hitting the trails, going slow, hitting vert, training for ultras, shoot this content straight into my veins. - Also, your agenda needs to be capped off with a "Next Steps" segment to be a proper corp presentation
Thank you for these professional development tips. Appreciate the performance review. Can we circle back next quarter?
Eva is very cute.
For the algorithim, running a 50 miler in October for 'fun'. My friends keep suggesting therapy.
do you have a cat named peba
If I watched one more video with no Eva, I was unsubscribing. That was close. Thank you.
are you saying this isn’t too hard before you actually run the race?
Not hard relative to the climbs in Hardrock? I expect to think very differently at mile 45 and 55
So…are you going to live out of a van now?
No, just for weekend trips. We rent an apartment in Boulder full-time.
@@TheSeriousRunner sounds good, I just thought now that you’re a trail runner you might choose to live the hippie lifestyle 😉
I haven’t helped the algorithm for a while so here it goes. Someone could pretend to engage and reply to me.
Still not a real serious vlogger until you have at least three kids in the video
Not training for anything because motivation is for shit these days
But your WS lottery stuff is on the nose. Watching friends get their hopes up every year is very hard.
I'm sure the organizers of that weird non-running event that incomprehensible you applied for, and understandably got denied, because NOBODY should do anything else than road marathons, have different jackets, but with the magic of AI and editing I'm sure you could just reuse the BAA videos for this entirely different race!
You didn't share news about race with your friends, we're all your parasocial relationships, so it is okay
@@TheSeriousRunner We wanna go to the secret race, too! Like Boston, its exclusive
I almost unsubbed but then THANK F*CK I found out Eva is a puppy and subscribed harder. bc I like you and would have hated unsubbing. I’m so OVER content with other types of baggage lol won’t even say it. That part of my life is done not a second too soon and now I pretend it exists for no one 😈 and never did. Adults and pets only world. I’ll make it happen in my own reality
Wait? What? Something productive 🤔 are u seriously thinking that work is more important that watching your videos 🤦🏻♂️. 🤣😂😆
Something needs to pay the bills, because you know what's not? Brand sponsorships 😭
What are you doing??! Just walking around and then stopping to eat burgers and drink coke. This is not running or serious. Stop this nonsense and get back to real running. "I do not fear the man who hobby jogs 100 sad miles. I fear the man who can run 1 epic mile really fast."- Bruce Lee probably or Kipchoge.
I'm down for that but only when you stop walking through the mountains and get serious again. @TheSeriousRunner
I'm training for a half marathon. I just started running 4 months ago. This my go to channel for the best advice, thanks Serious Runner! 🫡
(don't tell anyone -- but half marathon is my favorite distance) best of luck!
Eva has the makings of a Serious camper
