sean patrick Lee It’s been two months, and I’ve decided to start relay. The new school year has gave me motivation (even with an annoying sprained ankle.)
I also hope that you have great, new year filled with joy and a drive to do what you love.

[@dr.mohamedaitnouh4501]

he must be talented though... math can only help you to run smarter not faster! I am a math teacher too and run but not as fast as Jared Ward 2 h 11 min 34 s is crazy fast!! I am hoping to race with him soon

I think everyone already knew who Jared Ward was lol. I didn’t even know he taught math but y’all make it seem like he just randomly started running and placed in the olympics 😂

[@LaitoChen]

I didn't know him. but yeah the videos deceptive. He's a professional marathon runner who happens to teach math

[@oxcaxx]

Alexander James Not everyone's from the US.

[@albertoaguilar9773]

Yeah no way he just randomly started running and made it to the Olympics z takes years of training. And just like he said, he was offered courses as part time faculty

[@luciasimone7352]

I have to run on the roads (meaning sidewalks next to them) bc the trails near me are too sketchy to run on alone lol. So even if I run at a good pace, all the safe crossing takes me forever

[@StigmaBR]

I was there that day!

[@shantamds]

Please consider Anthony Ervin for this.
His story would be great for this line of videos.

Do one on Yuki Kawauchi. He's a badass too! Though Idk if he qualifies for Olympic or not

[@kumudkenedy9959]

He has ran several marathons under 2:10s and now he has now quit his job to fully focus on running I heard. We'll definitely see him in Tokyo this year.

I'm from St. George which is south from salt lake

[@reysaj]

I ran a marathon and and got second place in a 50k trail ultra marathon. Although I finished a degree in secondary education major in general science and got a professional teacher license, I just got 2 years teaching experience and shift to another job. I really liked organic chemistry and I loved teaching chemistry at high school. But I'm dumb at math 😭.

[@theofanisgreek1596]

Where did he finds the energy for all that? Hes a superhuman.

[@chromosom9509]

Training on concrete and asphalt does good to the body?

[@jackyjess7273]

Stay away from concrete when training, always go soft surfaces so your joints don't absorb all of the shock

Springfield weak people don't win

[@DrReddit]

@@harryspringfield6970 Lol don't be butthurt, Keyans have fast twitch fibers which means that it is hard to grow muscles, but that doesn't mean you can't be strong with very little muscle. Many Kenyans are pretty strong, don't judge a book by it's cover. And they're mostly 5'6 because of genetics, they were made to run. And just saying it was scientifcally proven a few years ago that every inch that you are over 5 feet is about half a year off your life lol.

[@WildOutdoorLiving]

The Math's teacher? So instead of teaching Math to students he teaches directly to "math" itself? Besides the typo, great video, thanks for sharing.

[@dryfruit9272]

Wild Outdoor Living British people call "math" "maths" as a plural. The apostrophe was the "wrong part"
Example (U.S.) I teach math.
Example (UK) I teach maths.

[@WildOutdoorLiving]

Yes, the apostrophe was what I was pointing out more than anything. That said he does live, teach and train in the United States so using Math without the S is probably the most appropriate. I had heard that some nations using the word maths though I guess I didn't know it was that prevalent.

[@jinjunliu2401]

wdym? I'm math and he's my private teacher :)

[@dryfruit9272]

Wild Outdoor Living Yes, I can agree that they should have put "math" instead of "maths" into the title. However, almost all of the narrators that I've heard of on this channel have a British accent -- hence them most likely putting the British spelling instead.

[@Olympics]

You are right. Apologies for it. Should've not skipped that English class to join Jared's maths class instead. 😉

[@kssrider6766]

Looks like Jared has one extra year to train for the Tokyo Olympics now that 2020 is a no show.
