    these guys are seemingly flying while talking effortlessly about a 3 minute dog run. INTENSE. humans are beautifully crazy. beautiful video.

      I'm guessing it's no slower than 6:30 pace too.

    Its shocking when these greats say they didnt have fire to run, while those who do want it so badly lack the talent to get there....the universe is not fair

      So true. I'm one of those guys that lack talent but am just trying hard to do it stubbornly just to satisfy myself.

      Alot of those people who "lack talent" really don't want to work hard tho, I'd say Ben trues definition of passion and a normal runners is apples and oranges

      As a man that spent 12 years making zero progress running my heart out every day, only to finally see progress in my own way just recently - it only happened after I let go of my ego and embraced running for what it is, for its own sake. There is enjoyment in mediocrity, the happiness is the journey and we all get to have that. In its own way I think the universe as it relates to running is the most fair discipline.

    I especially love this guy because he's a more relatable than some of the other documentaries. Sometimes, people won't learn what's precious until they spend life without it.

    Its honestly so cool to see the stories behind these GOAT runners.

      It's amazing to see them come back at an old age.

    Watching him win the 5K in Boston in April, you would never know he wasn't all that passionate about it a few years ago.

    "I saw the time 13:02 and that's when I knew I needed to quit farting around and actually run some fast times" BOIIIII.

    That grin at 7:48 tells you he is satisfied with his work now.

    Cool video. Interesting how running for skiing got him interested in running again.

      Do you mean like... nobody likes Ben True more than Ben True likes Ben True?

    • @wheresmymoneydenny
      @wheresmymoneydenny Před 7 lety +2

      Plenty of people up in Maine who've always loved Ben. That being said if you can't learn to love yourself you're wasting your time in life.

  • @tomframpton3165
    @tomframpton3165 Před 7 lety +16

    If they just release documentaries on youtube 6 months after the site release then won't they make money on the youtube side also? It seems like that is what they are worried about

    • @tomframpton3165
      @tomframpton3165 Před 7 lety

      understandable but with the time frame gap from release dates on different platforms then I think it would boost viewership and interest

    • @user-kd4mi8xb7p
      @user-kd4mi8xb7p Před 7 lety +6

      Actually just posting them on CZcams would be better for the long-term. It would also grow the sport which FloTrack claims they are doing, but they really aren't. They basically have the monopoly on track and field coverage so they want you to subscribe to their website to access the videos.

    If he is saying they can't stage a race on that, there is some nice proof that American XC courses are weak af and may as well be on road

    Why is he so shocked by the xc course? Little girls race these...

    • @AenLu
      @AenLu Před 6 lety +4

      Tobias Brunner I'm always amused by how surprised American runners are when a *Cross Country* race is not run on a flat grass field lol. XC in Europe is defined by mud, hills, and challenging conditions. Just two different approaches...

  • @stevedgolfer
    @stevedgolfer Před 5 lety +2

    Why did he never make it professionally? Compared to Rupp who won at the highest level over all distances...

    • @amauris9195
      @amauris9195 Před 5 lety +4

      stevedgolfer rupp is at the top of not just American running but world running, to compare Ben true to rupp is not fair. True did make it professionally he’s actually pretty freaking fast.

    • @ime7371

      He's a champ at all the shorter distances. The average person only knows marathoners.

    Why do you make people pay for these crap documentary series? All of these should be free.

    • @cameron_a9116
      @cameron_a9116 Před 7 lety +14

      Yo, we should all be happy that they actually released one for free, this is a rarety. But yeah, now that I think of it there are thousands of documentaries of equal or greater quality to this one that were released for free on youtube. hmm
