    Not gonna lie, I wasn’t expecting a PR. But watching you go into those last two laps, my heart started racing. Even though the video title said you got the win, I was still nervous.

  • @tommythomasson1
    @tommythomasson1 Před 2 lety +45

    A PR as a season opener is not that bad at all ! Congrats on that ;) Of course you can run faster at your next race because you made e really steady impression during the race and could kick well on the last 400m. Finding a faster and less tactical race is definitely going to provide you some assistance for a PR attempt, but I do not think that you rely on having someone else taking the lead and making the race for you. You have the physical tools to do this on your own and your mindset has changed. You are a different person than before and you should really be able to set up your own race in two weeks.

  • @robertphilly7466

    Good run, Spencer! Shows everyone that if you keep plugging away progress can be made! Setbacks are merely temporary halts on the road forward. Sound tactical effort, loads more to come. Thanks for all the honest videos over the last couple of years, shows your younger viewers that running ain't always easy or painless but there are rewards for keeping going!

    Camron Dioun is the name of a boston area high school runner who graduated in 2021. He was about a 16 flat 5k runner and then he ran 2 months of 100 mile weeks over the summer and proclaimed "All States is my race to lose". Unfortunately he got a stress fracture in his femur so we never got to see the king claim his crown. I'm pretty certain this is the right Camron Dioun- If you're reading this, Camron, you are the people's champ.

      Someone did his homework😉
      current mileage: 78mpw
      big things: coming
      people doubt I was in sub 14:30 shape before the fracture, but what else can you deduce from 7x1k at 2:54 with 600 jog?
      2nd fastest in the state ran 14:48

Maybe he had a bad race but still looking at where you were compared to him last year at this time. You’re gonna be a contender this year in the 1500, just keep trusting Keith!
