- During week 2 of my marathon build to the 2024 Paris Olympics I had some tough workouts. I ate a lot of slices of humble pie. I'm grateful for my training partners who push me and inspire me.
We're still at the beginning of the build when my fitness is coming back. It's frustrating to see the gap between where I am and where I want to be, but I just have to trust the process and remember that this work will all compound.
In October 2023, I ran 2:08:00 at the Chicago marathon. Then, at the US Olympic Trials marathon in February 2024, I placed second and qualified for Team USA.
I will be racing the Olympic marathon at the Olympic games this summer in Paris. Join me during this training block as I prepare mentally and physically to compete on the biggest stage.

Your transparency in sharing these videos and your Strava data is absolutely FEEDING the running community 🤩
Give the people what they want!
“If I can just be honest with where I’m at and evaluate what I need to change, then that’s where growth comes and I can perform” 🗣️🗣️
Such a powerful thought.
Loving these Clayton !!
Honesty with self >>
NO WAY ANOTHER VIDEO!!!!? LET"S FREAKING GOOO!!!!
More to come! 😏
Thanks for these videos you’re making Clayton. You inspire me an insane amount man.
Glad to hear it!
Clayton, your smiles at the Olympic Trials inspired lots of amateur runners like me. You made me enjoy every stride I make. Keep the wisdom and good work.
Let’s go Clayton! Just remeber there are millions of fans and runners cheering you through this process! We might not be there to run with you. But we sure are cheering you on right now! 🎉🤟💪
"That hurt ... as it should." Love this line. I'm gong to start quoting Clayton Young.
Love it. Keep them coming! Thanks for watching.
You're a huge inspiration to all of us average runners trying to become great. Can't wait to see what you do in Paris. USA! Let's go!!
Every episode is like Christmas all over again
I’m cheering for y’all. Thank you for sharing your process.
"It's good pain, I'm just getting worked" 🔥
Story of my life.
I’m from Utah and debating going home just to see these guys ripping it through the streets 🎉🎉🎉
"Sorry Mom" haha
I can't tell if that's a new thing that people say, but I've only heard it for the first time, or if that's original.
These are so amazing! Rooting for both you and Connor! You’ll be marathon ready in no time!
You really are admirable
God bless the videographer, so pretty 🙌
Andrew Storer is a wizard. 💫
Such a cool series. Thanks so much for making this!
So inspiring!!! You’ve got this Clayton!!! ✨✨✨✨
Such a gifted athlete, amazing production. I couldn’t ask for more!!
The journey is where its at. Doing the small things well is often overlooked and underappreciated, but you are absolutely correct it can make or break the goal. Stay at it!
Thank you! I call it the mundanity of excellence.
New favorite series. So well produced and so inspirational and interesting. Thank you Clayton!
You know how you starts the build and of course know how it usually ends! Keep showing up.
Instant subscribe. Love the content!
Commenting for the algorithm! Loved this!
Commenting for the algorithm. 🫡
I'm so invested in these updates now! Stay strong, Clayton. You got this!
So hype for this series. All the best, Clayton and Mantz!
It’s so comforting to know that even the top athletes feel this way. Thanks for your honesty
I love this. Please continue
That's the plan!
These are awesome. Videos have great pacing, editing, insights
Thanks for sharing Clayton! Love the videos, but please prioritize your training if you feel it’s necessary. I want to see you crush it in August.
Training is always prioritized, we don't do any extra activities for these videos, all the b roll clips are taken while he is on his evening easy runs which he is already doing and I am just biking beside him. stay tuned !
Consider it done. 🫡
These Mormon boys have such trust in God that they run in traffic
This is the funniest comment I’ve read. hahahah
I'm wondering if half of the drivers already recognize this group on the road so they know to give them space haha
Please keep doing these, absolute perfection of a video
Love this content !
Praying for you, Clayton! Cheering for you with your big Sis!!
Tell her hi for me!
This is special. What a time we are living in. Keep sharing, and I will be tuned in.
In Christ,
Andrew
I haven't even watched the video yet but please keep it up I know it takes resources but the first video was GREAT so nice to see training partners and coach presence too!!! 😊
These are phenomenal! What an inspiration 🎉❤
Inspiring! Thank you
Conner always pushing the pace!
2x3 miles or 3 mile repeats are some of my favorites speed workouts. Seeing this helps let me know I’m doing something right. Glad to see you back in action and putting in the work, Champ.
This is amazing!!!! You've totally gained a new fan. Totally rooting for you now and in Paris. Olympic speed!!!
Why is the production value so good? SO GOOD
These videos are straight 🔥
These videos are so good and so real! Looking forward to the next!
yessir these videos are mad entertaining man keep posting em
these videos are epic
Since there's no one with Olympic minimum coming from Poland this time I'm gonna be cheering for you man. Keep it up and thanks for sharing this journey.
loving these vids and rooting for you
Absolutely loving these videos. I’m training for my first marathon which is coincidentally the day after the Olympic Mens’, so seeing you not quite hit your goal splits is making me feel a lot better about my own training struggles.
We can do this! 👊🏼
this is so good!
You’re helping me get motivated to run my first marathon in Dallas this December!! Goal is 2:45!!
You got this! Stick to your plan.
This is how I feel at the beginning of every build. Amazing how the body can utilize perioditization to recover and be faster in the next build. It’s that patience that finally allowed me to hit all my high school running goals this season at 28/29. Thanks for the inspiration, man. Only upward from here.
You guys are ELITE! So fun watching the journey. You got this.
Was waiting for another video! Keep it up
This is awesome to watch. Thanks for sharing and best of luck.
🇺🇸 love these videos!!
You’ve got this!!!!!
Chuckle. Easy to empathize with the mind games piece. Bouncing back and forth between something having been passable and having served it's purpose and disappointment that you're not where you want to be. It's obviously easier for a plug like me who doesn't do it for a living however. Long way out dude. Thanks for these.
You nailed it about the mind games we play. Thanks for watching. 13 weeks out!
Love you bro ❤
🫶🏼
This is already my favorite part of the Olympics ! 🙏
Great Content!
Wildest thing to me is seeing an Olympian running down intersections. Just takes one bad driver
Agree 100%
I am 4 days out till race day. Exactly what I needed to watch. Let's go Clayton!
Send it!! 🐯
Hell yeah, another great video! Thanks for inspiring me to keep getting out every morning to get mileage in!
Another fire 🔥 banger
This has me hyped! Love your thoughts around that Tuesday workout
what a stud
Thank you for these videos. I’m a slow masters runner and have been blessed with a chance to run the Marathon For All at the Olympics. This certainly motivates me as I train.
Glad you like them!
Love this! Music is awesome and the whole thing is so motivational! 👍🏃🏻♂️
Let's go! This is the content we need!
I know that “um, you can go” feeling at the beginning of a rep from my swimming days.
Oh my god, this is some epic content !
Great vid
Love these , all the best for this training block. Keep them coming! {you know whats required and how to apply it, that’s the strength you have now }
Thank you! Paris will be another level, but you are right, I know what it takes.
Such good footage
Subscribed ✔️ like ✔️ bell notification ✔️ I'm ready for this video series.
Love the music
Your so professional
Loving these videos so far!
Fire vid
Great series!
Fast or slow - always humble
🫶🏼
this is amazing ! please keep them videos coming
Loving the episodes
Glad you are enjoying them!
This is high end running content right up there with Kofuzi and others that have been doing this a long time.
Magical Video
Thank you for the unfiltered insights - and captured in a striking way too! I'm curious who has the lead in videography...
Andrew Storer is crushing it!
Did Christopher Nolan produce this? Super impressive and the sound design completely elevates the whole episode.
Thank you! Andrew Storer is a videography wizard.
Stay healthy and trust the process. "It's coming, I promise" We all know what is coming!!!!!!!!!
yaaaaaa!
I think these really highlight how bad Connor is at taking instructions 😂 both a blessing and a curse. The ability to push even when you’re hurting is great, but it may lead to burn out and injuries unintentionally
This rules so hard, easiest sub of my life
You got this!
awesome
Great video!!!! Do you do the editing?
@andrewstorer8534 is the videographer and editor. I just run and share my opinions. 😁
I am fully invested
That's really close to the cars, I wouldn't put that much trust in the drivers.
🙄🙄 Not everyone lives life as scared as you do. If you don't understand why one would run in the road, then there's just no hope.
4:45!!! 😅😅😅😅😅
Didnt you guys should run facing the cars? Keep up

Does Coach Eyestone still train? Would be super curious to know…
Coach still gets out for a bike ride or run just about every day!
