- My running story is taking you all the way back to the beginning of High School when I first started running. I was never a natural at running, but I've been putting in some work over the last 8 years to get a little better. Enjoy!

I want this channel to be a place of inspiration and storytelling for everyone to listen to, whether it be about running or anything else! I am very new to this vlogging/editing videos thing, so I'm still trying to get better with all the little stuff, but please feel free to leave some constructive criticism in the comments or let me know what video you want to see next!

If anyone can guess who took the picture for the thumbnail I'll be very impressed
Bill Gates
Mom?
Grimes' baby?
Your coach?
What do you do for income?
I’m the dude in red behind you in the thumbnail lol. Great video btw
Who beat who in the race
that’s cool man
" We were running idk 9 minutes per mile 9:30 per mile very, very slow" FeelsBadMan, this is still faster than my pace lmao
lol 😂
same :(
How did he go from a 9 minute mile to a 5 in a few months in the first place
same, 9:20/mile is a good day for me hahah
9:30 per mile for less than 2 miles is slow I don't even run but I can run 18 min 2 mile or something like that
I'm watching these long ass ads to support one of my favorite youtubers
hahaha I appreciate it
Visiting advisor will do same right?
I was always really curious about your running career, glad to see a video on it
Inspirational! Love seeing your channel grow! 💯
I'm starting to love your videos more and more. You're awesome
I love where this channel is heading , this was so nice to watch
Been watching your videos that last couple of months. Great content, keep it up! 🙌🏻
You’re incredibly positive, thank you for your videos!
Great video and I can't wait to hear more about that College experience lol.
Not just for any drama but more importantly how it helped shaped who you are today!
Hey Elijah. I really enjoy your content and videos. Appreciate all the hard work you put in. You've inspired me to get into running and set new goals for myself. Cheers from Singapore :)
Thank you so much, I really needed to see this. As I'm starting to end my Junior Year in High School and having basically no seasons this past year, my motivation to keep grinding with no competition has been something I've had to work on and stay consistent in. I've been constantly fighting to run to give it my all for my final Cross Country Season and Track and Field Season this upcoming senior year. Thank you for the encouragement!
Love the content bro! Your channel has made me fall in love with running again after losing motivation for a bit, keep it up 💪
This video is fantastic. I've just recently found your channel, and I couldn't wait for this video. Turns out that you have a very similar progression to me! I'm a junior this year and I am super glad that your times have showed me that my goals are possible! I want nothing more than to break 16:00, so I can hopefully compete in the NCAA. I also know that I'm not good enough to be a pro runner after college which is why I plan to transition to ultra-marathons or other extreme endurance sports like you did. You are such an inspiration to me!
Great story man!! I hated running all through high school and collegue. didn't pick it up until 21 years old when I felt in love with the sport!
Hi Elijah just like to say keep up the great work you seem like a cool guy and your videos have a great advice and good to hear what you have to say I ran my First 10k race last with 1hr 4min (Which is pretty slow but I got hooked ha ) finish and in a month I am running my First ultra. Channels like yours remind me why I love running.
Running was my first sport and was the first reason when I started training myself but 4 and a half years ago, I shifted to weight training and eventually Calisthenics. Your videos are so inspiring and Im slowly getting into running again. Keep it up man !
Hey ! awesome video. Im really glad ive found your channel. You motivated me to start running, I started only about 2 months ago and i was running really short distances for a short time. I kept gradually improving and yesterday i did my first 17 km run. In 1 hour 35 minutes probably not the best but i improved a lot .
I'm going through a tough fit to fat moment in my life and your videos are helping me to stay motivated on my goals, you're truly inspirational Elijah, please keep sharing your amazing stories.
You're a great inspiration Elijah. I am from Canada and took up running ever since lockdown for covid-19 began... I am a varsity athlete at my college, but my sport is soccer. I have thoroughly enjoyed road running so far, and love watching your videos (new 5km PR is 18:08). Hope you & your family are all safe and well!
Just recently got into running and this channel got recommended to me and I’ve binged all the videos already. Love the content. You should make a video on how to get good running form or heart rate zones or running shoes! Thank you!
Enjoyed hearing your story. I played team sports through high school and college and even industrial leagues once out of school. I started running when I was about 30. Now I’m 65 and still running :)
You’re a good dude. Even breaking and entering lol I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work- running and videos.
I was waiting for one of these! Loved the video!
Great video, really keeps me inspired to keep running
I'm a guy that does not like running at all, and I play D3 soccer, but watching Elijah makes it so enjoyable. Amazing channel!
so awesome to see how far you’ve come!! :)
Elijah Orr your story proves that you put 100% into everything that you do, and we all could learn just a little bit from you. Keep going hard and never stop running after your dreams, your way better at it than I am.
Love the content man, I believe you could be a great athlete for triathlons. It would challenge you mentally and physically. I think you’ll be great for it! Keep up the content
What a great channel you’ve created man!
I felt a little of a malaise running until I found your channel, I was impressed by your tenacity and speed. Thanks for the sharing.
Awesome. Thanks fot sharing your run journey... so far
love the vids man, keep it up
Been waiting on this🙏
You’re an inspiration.
Love it brotha!
Really enjoyed your story!
Your story inspires me! It takes time to develop as a runner and we all need to remind ourselves of that!
Thanks dude! keep grinding
your videos keep getting better and better man, keep it up!
Thanks so much dude!
Tomorrow I’m doing my long run on the flattest, straightest path probably ever made.
Yikes 😳
Donde?
I live in Florida so that’s every run for me
Sprint that
Me every run because I live in the Netherlands lol
Dude, i LOVE the hat at the start of the video haha, and i really admire your passion for the sport as well. I saw you had a cayucos sweater on in a past video- I’m in SLO and focusing on dedicating my time to be a professional runner as well, I’d love to chill and sesh some training runs with you if you wanted to meet up and run some mountains/FKT’s or cruise around. You seem like a super laid back like minded dude a short drive away and i think you’d agree we can keep up with each other and each could use a running buddy from time to time. Feel free to look around for me in your follows on strava or instagram and reach out if you wanna. -just an Internet marathon runner with nothing better to do but run
Dude, crazy similar story to my own.
Baseball from 5y/o - 7th grade.
Got serious about running around 8th grade/Freshman year.
PRs
Freshman: 19:01, 11:04, 4:54
Sophomore: 16:29, 10:08, 4:44
Junior: 16:16, 9:58, 4:38 (a lot of injuries)
Senior: 15:58, 9:28, 4:32
Went to college, didn't like my coach, transferred. Finished out eligiblilty. Fell out of love with running and have recently gotten back into it with hopes of trail/ultra
haha what no way? Let's go thats awesome!
Beginning of freshmen year: can barely finish a 2 mile Freshmen year cross country season: ran a 20:08 Me watching this video: HOWWWW
By training
Very insightful. Good content. 👍
Love your videos, keep it up. Greetings from Sweden
I'm gonna be running 10 miles soon after coming back from "runners knee" I had like 4 months ago, ever since I been keeping it light with mileage. I hope to run 100+ miles in the future like Cameron Hanes or Courtney Dauwalter!
dude this video was awesome!
Interesting story and I really like your background :) have you ever done the myer briggs test? Think it can be really interesting to learn even more about yourself, I think you are quite a reflective person
Great video man 🙌 I'm curious though, what do you for in terms of work life? Besides running, because that itself is work I think 🏃
Great video!!!
Who heard about the 5k WR being broken today?
Yeah it's crazy
So gnarly
Yeah, Joshua Cheptegei is amazing!
Yea in only 12min sometiing crazy shit man 😳
Keep going brother
great video!!
Amazing video!!
Thank you!!!
We need some Elijah Orr merch! ✌🏻
Got my first marathon done during quarantine!
Any tips on planning meals/snacks around runs? I feel like I have to wait at least an hour after a meal of protein, veggies, carbs, but can usually get by after 15 min on just a piece of toast on an empty stomach. I always get varying results - would appreciate a video on this! Btw love your content and love this space
Same
Awesome bro
I come back every day just to see elijahs sub count and waiting for the day it explodes and gets to 50k the next day
Hey man have you ever considered heavy strength training to improve your stride length and performance even more?
8:20 "akeelees" 😂 😂
Great video elijah!
Please please please explain how in the hell you went from struggling with 9:30 per mile to a 5 minute mile pace in such a short period of time!!!
Elijah is so wholesome
Hi Elijah huge fan love the content.
Just want to know all the type of shoes you wear and specify for what you wear each type of shoe please
I once ran track and got last in every single meet lmao
MamaSwole I am soooo glad I checked out your channel ur super dope
Michael Fernandez thanks Michael! You’re the shit💪🏻 I appreciate it a whole lot:)
SHOUT OUT SCIAC!!! Bulldog over here
I had a similar thing last year with nearly breaking a time where I ran 2.01 for 800 5 times in a row outdoors and then again indoors and it made me want to cry
How much were you running in high school and college? It seems like it would be a pretty big shock to the system doing 100+ mile weeks if you didn't have a background with some hefty volume. Great vid btw!
Loved this story! What kind of strength training are you getting into? Lifting in general or specific to help with running?
I'm looking at different stuff! General lifting but I also wanna do stuff that'll help me improve as a runner too!
I’m a converted baseball player. I started after moving to FL from NY my sophomore year of HS
i know there’s plenty of videos out there but would love to hear your take on running tips
Hello just watched this video you should definitely focus putting more running Content on your channel
Can you make a video on the most effective recovery methods and common misconceptions about recovery please?
You should do a joint video with Sophie on how you guys met!
Great video
Hey Elijah, awesome vid. I was wondering what your mileage was Freshman year of high - senior year and college. Thanks
Ive been watching your channel a lot, and ive gotten more into running recently. Im curious, what's your fastest marathon time?
I was really hoping to have the cross country season this year since the coach and teammates were great but I don’t think we’ll have it since the pandemic and it sucks
Jeez bro u where super fast!!
❤️❤️❤️
When i watching you video feel like Zach Levet 2
We need a vid of you going to the batting cages or something else with baseball.
Yeah that would be sick
Can you do a video of your running gear and the watch you use
Dude, you’re super articulate and intelligent - you certainly could do college and grad school, not that you have to, of course! 👍
Could you make a 5k training plan video for intermediate runners please? To improve 5k time? I know there are tons of videos out there but your perspective would be cool too! Maybe how to run sub 20/18/etc Tx peace
Would love to hear your experience on joining the frat and the impact on you. Seems like you should have done track instead
Do you have any recommendations about shin splints? I had to stop running since Tuesday, but I'm really hoping I will get back soon, but as you said, I'm just not feeling myself without it. It's my first injury since I started running 3 years ago so I'm grateful for any advice.
Do you have any tips about enjoying running longer distances? I run the 400 and I’m trying to move up to the 800 so I’m training with XC, but I’m having a hard time staying motivated.
Had to hop my old high school gate to do a 5K time trial the other day too 😂
Hey! I am going to run a marathon and I might need last time tips. How should I prepare to that? Should I take water botle and some snack w me? I really appreciate if u answer🙏
Are you going to be trying the Brooks Hyperion Elite 2?
What is your current career path now that you dropped out of college?
You look so much like Rapunzel’s boyfriend in Tangled 🤯
a Disney prince look 4 sure
Notification gang pt3
yessir
Watching this made me so depressed cuz I was happy to run a 19 40 my sophomore year
Dude that's good, i can't even run a 5k man, also keep working, and you can get better times!
