What every running Youtuber says before a workout in their video

Sounds right.

I feel almost bad for the teams that have a video crew drop in and film them, it almost always turns in to a race.

***shows them making coffee***

***shouts out all their friends lame social media accounts***

***changes shoes eight times in one workout***

HAHAHA that is so true.

Sounds like most runners to me. Their talking PR is 10% faster than their actual PR. "I wanna run a 420 mile this race., that's the shape I'm in." Proceeds to run 432.

Thing is, this is disrespectful to people who have actually run those times, to equate themselves at the same level when it hasn't happened and maybe will never happen.

Pre-workout spiel:

"The goal today isn't to go all-out. Just trying to get the legs turning over a bit. We're just checking off some boxes. I'll start out at X pace and adjust from there. Still feeling a little flat from the last workout. We're not trying to have a **** measuring contest here."

Actual workout:

All-out, race effort in supershoes and split times are based on flying start and optimistically rounded down.

I approve of this thread.

running youtube is so darn cringy. This whole genre makes running look like a joke. Gone are the days of humble silent grinders putting in thousands of miles in anonymity.

hahaah

race effort in everything, yes.

Rupp grinds thousands of silent miles and get panned on this site for having no personality.

Forgot to add the "drone" flyover glamor shots.

If you watch more workouts on video than you actually do yourself...

Yep, there’s no pleasing some people on this site. This thread pretty accurately describes the running YouTube scene though. Add in over analyzing every race and throwing in fake emotional takes about every race.

It is, and I don't like giving jamin credit for anything.

Oh, agreed. But it's good.

Really gets me going once I see the 3rd shoe change.

I'm tempted to start a youtube channel where I only wear the Clifton.

Tempo? Clifton. 1500m race, Clifton. My buddy's wedding, Clifton.

Yea I don't get the shoe change thing. Why do runners stop in the middle of their long run workout, stand around, change shoes, stand around some more, then continue on? Also, why are all workouts being done in supershoes?

I guess when you are a pro you have all the time in the world for a workout and unlimited supplies of supershoes to train in but I found it baffling that pros I've seen on youtube run their long runs this way, with multiple stops and multiple shoe changes.

Don't watch many, but Allie always wakes up grumpy, has pancakes and coffee, and winks at the camera. I can't remember her racing her workouts and changing shoes, though.
