You got so much balls to show us your failures. Don’t stop chasing after your goals and sharing your journey here on CZcams. We understand that life isn’t flawless like it seems on social media. Your running clips were awesome! 🙂
you humbly call yourself NON-ELITE ! But keep this in mind Sage, you ARE one of the best Marathoners on this planet...the few hundreds faster than you is just a minute percentile at way over 7.6 billion people in the world! you ARE GREAT!
@RunFor OurLives thats totally wrong cos it also depends on the Country you are living in and you cant always take the world stage as a comparison, period. In greece you kill 'em all with 2:17 and still go to the Olympics. In Romania and many other countries as well . And they are still considered elite and take part in world Championships cos they ARE the best of the best meeting the very best of the top.
17th overall! Maybe you did not reach your goal but it is something to be proud of. Congrats and keep your enthusiasm, you are an inspiration to average runners like me.
Regardless of the outcome this past Sunday, your whole process and honest assessments are so inspirational, especially for us mere mortals. Thanks for sharing...and keep on crushing it!!
As you sing in your intro, you've got to keep "Runnin' Down a Dream." I actually admire your willingness to share this with us. Not many people are willing to be that vulnerable in such a public way. I am rooting for you.
I think it was Churchill who said success is continuing from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm ;n) Love your drive and positive attitude and look forward to following your trail season Sir, rock on...
The only real failure is not to run the very best race you can. Did you put in everything you had? Then you didn't fail. Keep pushing - can't wait to see you in my city of Atlanta in 2020!
I'm no where near that fast, but I am always solo like that as my pace is just too fast for the main pack and too slow for the front pack. And yeah, it is tough.
Sage Brother, I want to thank you for showing us slower runners that even you guys can have a bad day. Honesty, Integrity & Transparency! You're keepin' it Real!
Don't compare yourself to Rupp, maybe if you had Galens coaches and their 'secret sauce' you'd have managed it- but i wouldn't be following you on youtube if you did, great running, consider Edinburgh next year- it's IAAF certified with a but net downhill, Great running love the music keep it up:)
And an amazing city. I took 3hrs 50 and that’s still top 20% as a first timer amateur with only 6 weeks proper training before it. Sub 4 was my goal and was happy, it is a great race though
You have the best attitude in the sport. I come back to your videos time and time again because it inspires me when I’m getting down on myself; your relentless pursuit of goals is just astounding and noteworthy. Thank you for sharing with us, it’s beyond helpful in more ways than one. Keep rockin’!
16 weeks out from my first marathon! I watch your training videos before most of my runs, you are definitely helping the running community in a big way mate :)
Sage, great job of putting together a good run even though you was not feeling it at the 1/2. Thanks so much for all your posting and updates. Great work and keep training hard my friend!
Keep going good brother, you'll get it next time. Loved watching the clips of your marathon. I found myself cheering you on as if it was real time. Good stuff, we're inspired!
Thank you for sharing this and hold your head up high. With your mentality and dedication you will hit the times you want in near future. No doubt about that.
Great video! Loving the honesty and transparency. You'll definitely get your OTQ, we're all supporting you! I totally understand the part about smashing training and then laying an egg during the race, that was my London Marathon training cycle and race. We know you can do it! Looking forward to seeing your videos and races from the summer and mountain ultra season.
Tough break Sage. I was extremely confident for you this time around. Keep the head up, I am sure this training will benefit the rest of your season. Thanks to everyone for tge footage.
Sorry the race didn’t turn out like you were hoping, but what a great adventure and new collection of memories you have to reflect on. Excited for whatever is next for you, man.
You are doing great and I appreciate your attitude. You are also helping a lot of people including me when I was running marathons. I counted on you a lot even though you do not know me. Keep it up!
It seems people of Copenhagen are great. Sage ,You have one of best race coverage from any marathon. Thanks Stefan and other for the great coverage. Sage- you are awesome as always.
I love it that you share your best and your not so good races with everyone. You're an amazing runner!! You're humble which makes me like you even more because I can see that even elites like you are just as human as us mere mortals 😄😄 keep it up!! You've got this!!!!!
Wow! great support in Denmark! So much great footage. Gives us a great insight into the race itself. Very cool, thanks everybody who filmed even if it didn't make it into the video.
Do the things that make you happy. I admire your honesty about your goals and sometimes disappointments in such a public forum. Keep going and have a great summer.
Hey sage, I just started into serious running because of all your training talks! Thanks! Been following all your social medias to keep me updated about your tips about road running and mountain running. So far, I've ran and made few PBs and I'm about to start into a competitive mountain race soon! Love your passions and enthusiasms! Love from Malaysia!
Definitely the best videos from any athlete I've seen come from Sage. The guy puts it all out there. Failures and success. This particular video captures the emotional swings of disappointment and forward facing positivity. Such an inspiration but at the same time so relatable. He's an elite but suffers like us all. Injury and disappointment get us all but it's how we move on an motivate ourselves. By the way, 'the seeker' by The Who might just suit you for your next 'training talk intro'.
This is so refreshing to see such honesty and openness to talk about your "failures" (obviously relative). In a world of highlight reel social media presence this is so great to see! thank you
You’ll do it, Sage! Like you said, totally realistic goal. And yes - life doesn’t go according to plan! It likes to add lil obstacles here and there...Way to be grateful for what you have and way to KEEP GOING! Can’t wait to see you kick this goal’s a$$ real soon 😊💪
Just keep staying positive Sage ! I've been following you for a while now, and I'm always routing for you . Hoka is lucky to have such a great athlete/brand ambassador . Hope to meet you one day . Cheers my man.
First of all congratulations on your 17th in Copenhagen, it's a great deal and a real achievement. Make no mistake, first and foremost you succeeded at a great event and gave everything you had to give on the spot. That being said I know you had your eyes on an even bigger goal but because you already have the right mindset and you are more than capable, I'm sure you'll succeeded eventually. This video is exactly how you make a freaking lemonade when life serves you lemons. :) Again, great effort, congrats, keep up the good work and keep them videos coming!! :) :)
Nice, Sage and good luck as you continue to compete. BTW, excellent beginning to open this video with Petty. Although i'm not even a mid pack runner and well beyond the years of most of your running followers, your videos inspire me to continue training and striving towards my own goals. Thanks Sir.
You got so much balls to show us your failures. Don’t stop chasing after your goals and sharing your journey here on CZcams. We understand that life isn’t flawless like it seems on social media. Your running clips were awesome! 🙂
preeeeach!
Your still amazing!❤. You will get there hon.
i agree 110%. Keep chasing your dreams and it will happen one day!! we are all rooting for you!
He really does have so much balls
Sage had to run by himself pretty much the whole race. That's not easy.
you humbly call yourself NON-ELITE ! But keep this in mind Sage, you ARE one of the best Marathoners on this planet...the few hundreds faster than you is just a minute percentile at way over 7.6 billion people in the world! you ARE GREAT!
This
Fastest vegetarian marathoner in the world??
There are different levels of elite, but sage is definitely is

Man, your sense of accountability is so admirable. You inspire so many people around the world. I hope you can get your OTQ!
Your "many minutes later" is my "over an hour later".... rock on Sage!
As you sing in your intro, you've got to keep "Runnin' Down a Dream." I actually admire your willingness to share this with us. Not many people are willing to be that vulnerable in such a public way. I am rooting for you.
I've read "fail" in the title, but I don't see any loser, I see an warrior! Congrats, keep on going, never give up!
I love how much support you get from people in a completely different country. Everyone wants you to do so well.
We do indeed! :)
yah thats crazy
I believe in you my man, keep believing and working hard!
I think it was Churchill who said success is continuing from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm ;n) Love your drive and positive attitude and look forward to following your trail season Sir, rock on...
Andrew Shortt if that is truly Churchill then he must have been senile by that point.
I believe it has been attributed to a few different famous folks. It simply means don't give up until you get there ;n)
Andrew Shortt yeah but it doesn't include any notion of eventually succeeding. It really sounds like someone making mistakes and not learning.
I think it may be a 'the joy is in the journey' sentiment.
Dude try covering atleast half thw distance that sage ran and you will need a adult diaper
The only real failure is not to run the very best race you can. Did you put in everything you had? Then you didn't fail. Keep pushing - can't wait to see you in my city of Atlanta in 2020!
What will happen in Atlanta in 2020?
Badass, brother. Thanks for being real, my friend. Best of luck moving forward.
Astounds me how much in no man's land you were.
I can't imagine running that hard that long without a wind break thrown in every now and then from a group
Yeah that really surprised me as well.
I'm no where near that fast, but I am always solo like that as my pace is just too fast for the main pack and too slow for the front pack. And yeah, it is tough.
Exactly! Nobody to chase, nobody to push. Makes it much harder, indeed!
Sage Brother, I want to thank you for showing us slower runners that even you guys can have a bad day.
Honesty, Integrity & Transparency!
You're keepin' it Real!
Note! I made those comments before you got to that part of the video.
Don't compare yourself to Rupp, maybe if you had Galens coaches and their 'secret sauce' you'd have managed it- but i wouldn't be following you on youtube if you did, great running, consider Edinburgh next year- it's IAAF certified with a but net downhill, Great running love the music keep it up:)
eamonn keogh Edinburgh is fast I ran it for the first time this year and knocked 5mins Pb.
And an amazing city. I took 3hrs 50 and that’s still top 20% as a first timer amateur with only 6 weeks proper training before it. Sub 4 was my goal and was happy, it is a great race though
Keep on keeping on!
You have the best attitude in the sport. I come back to your videos time and time again because it inspires me when I’m getting down on myself; your relentless pursuit of goals is just astounding and noteworthy. Thank you for sharing with us, it’s beyond helpful in more ways than one. Keep rockin’!

You are an amazing writer and a good teacher. You are humble. Just keep trying and you will figure it out.
Way to go Sage , the runners never give up. You are a champion. Greetings from Vegas NV
You ARE a sage man.....so much wisdom dude. Inspired by your journey. Running is a humbling sport and you face challenges head on!
Not failures at all , every run , race is a gain ! You are amazing !
You can still do it. Australian Scott Westcott made the Olympic Team at age of 40. He never stopped trying. So that you know......
I love it that you share your best and your not so good races with everyone. You're an amazing runner!! You're humble which makes me like you even more because I can see that even elites like you are just as human as us mere mortals 😄😄 keep it up!! You've got this!!!!!
Wow! great support in Denmark! So much great footage. Gives us a great insight into the race itself. Very cool, thanks everybody who filmed even if it didn't make it into the video.
