Yo It’s Roman. It was nice meeting you man 🤘🤘
No replies?? Expect me
Yo Roman we met after the mile in pasco, did not expect to see you in an athlete special video lol, hope your doing well man
wow whoever filmed this one did incredible. The footage is just A+ all around wow
The footage is an experience-a journey into the unknown-where the impossible becomes reality.
Lol! Great Job, Will
Joshua Cheptegei's 5k world record might not remain for much longer
Definitely...he's only 3 minutes and 26 seconds away. That gap should disappear after a few interval sessions.
@@Blork1999😂
The Byxbee Parkrun course is deceptively slow. It is a double out and back and has 3 hairpin turns plus four pretty sharp corners. It's in a beautiful area of the Baylands shoreline. A municipal airport is nearby and small plans are often taking off. The course is all loose gravel, which is slow and chews up supershoes. If the timing doesn't work out for Byxbee, the Dolphin South End Runners puts on races with a $10 entry fee ($5 for members) most weekends in SF. This weekend, they have a 10k trail race from the Beach to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook in the Presidio. That course is massively hilly and slow. It's not uncommon for their courses to have a ton of elevation gain. They have a 5k road race with 500 feet of elevation gain.
"I started this series completely out of shape"
*me with a 19:50 5k PB 😭
Room to improve, but that’s pretty good (better than me)
bruh me with a 48 minute 5k (i was like 8 tho lmao i'll run one later this year)
Spencer, I love the new series. Keep doing what you want to do. I just retired from the rat race of the working world. Keep doing what you love as long as you can.
Hey Spencer, loving this content. I really like when you interview other people about the 5k and ask them about the event/themselves!
I almost ran this one as it's only a few minutes from my work, but i went climbing instead. Maybe it will rain next week and I'll give it a wack.
this has been so much fun to watch and witness!! Got me motivated to want to win some races again! Thanks Spence!
Dude this series has been awesome. Great to see you gettin back in shape
This series is so fun, keep it up!
This is an amazing series! keep it up
Spenc, these local legend videos have been really fun to watch. Nice work!
Im honestly loving this series.
Love this series every weekend🔥🔥
love the content bro keep it up!
Absolutely loving this series!
Loving this series!
Those videos of the parkruns are awesome man. Extremely enjoyable
100% agreed. He's hit on a winning content formula.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and get so excited when you post!!!!
Congratulations on your course record Spencer! I’m really enjoying the local legend series.
Epic run, Spence! You're putting the local legend on every park run =D Looked like a beautiful place to run too.
Absolutely amazing!!
Congrats
When I saw the first local legend video I thought it was cringe
BUT now I see it is great!
Congratulations on your new vision for the channel and your running
So happy for you Seth
great series with parkruns!
hit us with the Spencer, Allie 1,2 combo. Great evening of youtube for me.
Great run man!
If the videos can help get people in the US out on a Saturday morning then you will have done a great job Spencer
Great series to watch after a track meet!
Insane Negative Split(Didn’t want to spoil)
Camio from Ari Klau… been watching the progress the few videos and love them! You gained a New subscriber!
spence please be careful getting back into shape. i am still resting from an injury far smaller then yours. not because i want to rest but because i trust my body to give me prs for the next 20 years. a few months to keep the body in good health is far more important then ego races. i think you are a great miler dog. better then ill ever be
the 500 shirt sounds legendary but how much would that cost over time. 500 x $20 registration XD. that guy is loaded
@@akanumbers Actually the parkrun races are free.
Now that was fun for me to watch. Nice series!
Loving The Local Legend series! Keep it up Spence 👌🏻
Great race spencer!! Sub 16 next week for sure!! Are we going to see other distances in the local legend series? (10k, half marathon, etc) or just sticking to 5ks and parkruns? Either way I’m really enjoying the series and what you do next!
I love your short interviews. Keep those up as well as your progress, Spencer.
Big improvement and good series. Course records are always icing on the cake. One thing missing is prize money. Gotta get that to upgrade your legend status
Well done. Improving each week
LETTTTTSSSS GOOOOOO, I'm ab to run in 15 minutes, this was the perfect track inspo 🙏🏾
Great running, particularly with the head wind/ I almost wonder if you would have been 5-10 seconds slower on the first mile if that would have led to breaking 16. Maybe not as you crushed the last mile and change. Great improvement. Maybe some longer distance to build even better cardio along with your great track workouts, and I think the number for you later this year might be the low 14 minute range?
I’m going to keep selling North Bay, Ontario, Canada Park Run. Course record is 16:30. A mostly flat out and back. Bit of a drive from the West Coast though!
Great video again.
That is insane!!!!!!!! MAJOR congratulations!!!!!! Next race prediction is a 16:11 if it isn't flat if all flat 15:47
Loving the local legend series
Another you could try is the Des Moines Creek Park Run. It’s another out and back but the first half is a slight incline the whole way which allows for a super fast entirely downhill second half
Quite interesting content. Love this break from “serious running”. Your fans/viewers are the beneficiaries of your time off. At some point, I predict You’re going to get tired of becoming a “local legend” and get the itch to compete in some more competitive events while everyone else is focusing on the trials.
Love this series. That is an insane time! Sub 16 next week?
Nice job!!
Well done
As soon as you said headwind on the way out, I knew there'd be a negative split coming
Yo if you’re in the Seattle area you should totally come smash the course record at fort ward parkrun over on Bainbridge island just a 30 min ferry ride from Seattle! Super flat and a super beautiful spot! My friend Greg Nance helps put it on, he just recently ran across the country starting in New York and ending in Seattle, could be great for an interview 😅.
This is a good idea, I’ll do this in May
@@TheAthleteSpecial awesome! Hope to see you there in may!
Great to see people wearing Craft.
miss when your vids were 15+ mins but love what you're doing
bro dominates the local competition every race, classy
Nature knows not of mercy! Let my boy crush them
Bro keep up this content pls
Parkrun is huge in South Africa! Come do a few here!
And now a corgi!!!!! ❤
Nice video and very impressive performance! I wish you would remove/replace the "slap"-sound effect when showing split times etc. though. It's very loud and not pleasant to listen to.
Dang crazy man
dude didn't blink for the entire sponsorship bit lol
Great vids
The little engine that could!
I see you Ari
Good job bro! If you don't mind me asking what is your weight and height? Really curious! You look great bro!
They banned Parkrun course records here in the UK ! :0[
Same in Poland lol they wanted to be so includive so bad they’re now excluding competitive runners in a way
Same in the U.S. Spencer had to do some digging to determine what the 'record' was.
Ugh if I didn't just break my collarbone off come out to run near Palo Alto!
Ingebrigtsen dodged you again?!? What the heck.
Dude I don't know why Jakob is so scared, come on man, you can break that with no sweat right!? Or can you XD
Spencer TCB every Park Run. Stanford may be a tough one if alumni show up.
what are the shoes called that he used?
No spoilers, I'm going 15:54 for my prediction.
Edit: Hey I was close, also 16:01, sub 16 for sure next time, and that 3rd mile speed was ridiculous after running a 10:30 2 mile man! You'll be back to sub 15 before you know it, before even I know it! XD Seriously though, keep it going man, you got this!
You should try to do 2 parkruns in one day
Considering they all start at exactly the same time, I think that would be Spencer’s most impressive video yet.
The time for the second one gets deleted, that's been a policy for a long time.
I need that baby corgi
Start doing 10k too
Screw the haters this content is fire bro
My friend is a hater. But you proved him wrong and taught him a lesson. Heck yeah
Parkrun number 255 last week for me Spencer will come on your comeback lol
Didn't parkrun stop showing run times of other people on the website? how do you know what the record is. I used to feel really motivated by looking at other peoples times. Proud of the young people for being so fit and talented. If phone and internet goes down good to know who to give a pen note to. If the chinese invade lol...stupid joke. Also I don't know who would be Turned off buy it. Everyone knows they are slower on the day than people over taking them or milling around the finish line ready to go home when u are still coming in 100meters or so from finish line. Congrats on 255!!
@@nikitaw1982 You can see everyone's times, they just removed the records. But the records were nonsense anyway - courses change all the time.
Aye it was awesome meeting you brother, this is Roman btw
I thought it would be world record attempt 😂
Yo Spencer hope you see this. Better help is a horrible company to take sponsorship from. They have done a lot of shady things in the past. Including selling private information to big companies like Facebook. So please be careful who you choose to have sponsor ya.
Yeah look up a video debunking their shady stuff
Great interesting in the uk the records have been removed which is massively controversial and pissed the keen parkrunners off.
Some have 500.its flipping huge parkrun
They removed records here too. It takes a lot of digging to figure out course records. And it is nearly impossible to figure the age group or age graded lists. I haven't been to a PR since that stupid (IMO) decision was made.
@@wardfreeman7533 it was ridiculous a few friends of mine are gutted about the vets times and records.it was just with Spencer mentioning the records I though they were still a thing. Thanks for the info happy running
Setting a course record in those conditions is impressive. And 16:04 wasn't a super soft mark either.
Next up, perrigo parkrun record
I’m the local legend for bear hills
How do you know? didn't they stop showing times of other people on the website? i hope they don't make you disappear so the slower people don't get disheartened by others being faster. beginners should see who the slowest are for a track, if they can do it on a sunday they know they can join in no problem. I don't think the website even shows that now. Karens in charge if i'm not wrong.
@@nikitaw1982 jellyfish
@@zachd.4385 dirty sox. You log into the website and as of a few months ago they don't show the the full list of people times and break down by age and gender. Something about trans soaking up all the womens top times. Boohooo. how long women invading all male spaces?? they should accept a bit of DEI
Awesome 😎
I like your new series :)
Spencer I’m trying to beat my 5k time of 22:30 any tips?
I’m not Spencer but I used a Hal Higdon training plan to get under 22:30 for the first time ever. That and running to the point of feeling like death… then doing that for 4 more KMs!
@@jonl2938 thank you
👍
You should ask Matthew Choi for some help to get faster
Now my fastest 5k is a 14:27
Also your can run the fastest Parkrun in the
World
My fastest 5k is 16:07
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
So, you know that parkrun doesn't have records anymore, right?
Parkrun is not a race
Was gonna subscribe but seen the "Better Help" advert and have disliked and am leaving the vid instead.
LOL! Out of shape with a 17min 5k... Get real bro
First
😊🎉🥇🏆❤ I haven't watched yet, but I hope Spence gets first tooooo!!!🙏😁
"Out of shape" runs a sub 18 5k... dont be so insulting. Most people take months/years to get to sub 20 so you were, in fact, not "out of shape"
To be fair he is talking about his standards (He has a low 14 minute 5k for his pr so for him sub 18 is out of shape) but yeah in general sub 18 for a 5k is not slow by any means. I have a 19:21 5k time as a sopohmore in high school and sub 18 feels pretty far away.
Parkrun/Parkwalk give me a freakin break. 😤
Its pointless runnjng fast in these events as they dont bother celebrating quick times anymore. Find it funny how they want to stop it from being called a race but you kept referefing to race every time! Its far from a run the race director mention. As a lot of people still treat it as a race.
You should just identify as a woman and then enter the woman’s division. Then you can break a lot of records 😂
