Chris Solinsky BEASTMODE: Sets American Record in his very first 10k race!!!

[TheTomGabriel]

This is incredible, considering the pace the other athletes were running at, to have Solinsky pull away that far in 800m is just on another level of effort and ability.

[harbar3000]

It was the socks...

[kozmon0t]

Well he has earned the right to be destroyed by Kenny Bekele in London

[clarkvideo5]

He kicked a 1:58 in a 10k

[prumpa42]

i love this video. gets me jacked up.

[RunTrain41]

The music needs to gtfo

[avery94onabase]

@RunTrain41 are you fucking kidding me

[jjcherry829]

What song is this?



[TheNaturalRunnerVanc]

BILLY MILLS BILLY MILLS!!! .... oh wait..

[MegaAntDaddy]

[619orbelin]

Sick video!

[Rhyno564]

AAAAAHHHH!!!!! SO GOOD!!!!!

[cmval5454]

P5OT REPRESENTING

[dgomes27]

@123repeater lawl

[charliezard729]

Gotta love the announcers just going apeshit as they realize he's getting closer to sub 27. "Solinsky's itchin'!!" "Look at how smooth Chris Solinsky looks right now!" "Chris Solinsky! Did anyone even predict that he would go for a record like this?" "26 flat... oh my god!" "Can he break 27?" "He's gonna run like 27:05..." "55..." "HE MIGHT BREAK 27 MINUTES!" "56... 57..." "CMON CHRIS, HERE WE GO!!" "58... 59..."

[TehUltimateSnake]

NEXT Chris Solinsky sets american record in his very first half marathon race!!!

[TACOMAMA7]

Most epic equation. Chris Solinsky+The xx+ the anouncers= American Record

[patsrule28]

what a great announcer

[mujuuryoku]

you are awesome for putting the xx to this video

[Pokecardcollecter]

Amazing, ones like this keep me goin

[durianriders]

CS must be on the same gear as Lance. USA drugs are the best.

[crimsonmonieful]

@durianriders Hey, what is the song called by Ce Lo Green called? Oh! That's right, FUCK YOU!!!!

[TheFreshandreal]

my favorite running video of all time

[porsche1314]

he ran a sub 2 min final 800m? new achievement unlocked

[practicalspork]

chills down my back every time.

[nate3301e3]

Chris Solinsky made this video 10/10

Announcer made this video the impossible 11/10

Wow.

[dogpaddler75]

Totally incredible video, but just to clarify, he HAD trained specifically for this event. Still, my "go to" video when I'm getting ready for a speed workout!

[turniptod12]

song?

[ChrisWalksFast]

Hands down one of the most powerful videos that a distance runner can watch

[chainbladerocks]

I am in tears...insane!!! rewrite the book baby! the whole dam book!!!

[SunnyKid975]

0:18 - Solinsky's "ITCHING"  - lmao

[Origommi1234]

FEAR THE TUBE SOCKS

[RabidTwinkie]

True inspiration.

[OrigProdigy]

Anyone who can watch this video and not be grinning ear to ear and their hair standing on end has NO clue what they're watching, this is just amazing.

[dcoteboat]

GALEN RUPP

[1Rosholt1Z]

I have Chris Solinsky's autograh from SPASH!(:

[Nerdybeef95]

The announcer and the music made the video even more epic. Chris solinsky was the first non African runner to break 27:00. What a boss...

[gordieranger]

the much to loud music is very distracting

[SlaveryHelped]

This is phenomenal as Solinsky is a giant in the world of distance running with a height of 6 foot 1 inch. Most elite distance runners are around 5' 7".

[lewickerman]

What song is this?

[liam4458]

same commentator from alan webbs American mile record??!!

[fojoxctf]

this would honestly make the sickest nike commercial

[metsrule660]

@fojoxctf

you really think that Nike would air a video of Chris Solinksy completely killing their golden child Rupp?

[fojoxctf]

@metsrule660 absolutely, he's wearing a nike singlet and rupp still broke the ar in an amazing time

[metsrule660]

@fojoxctf

ok lets look at it like this, Solinsky is wearing an OTC jersey not exactly a Nike sponsor jersey. Rupp is coached by Al Sal, a Nike coach who works at Nikes head quarters in Oregon. All i am saying is that there is no way Nike would ever air this. Nike sent a camera crew down there to document Rupp breaking the record, and when Chris broke it they had to throw all the film and such away. Nike values Rupp much more then they value any other runner ( besides maybe Lagat).

[soggysausage]

@metsrule660 why would NIke value Rupp more, if fans don't

[metsrule660]

@soggysausage

You obviously do not understand the world of elite running. Rupp is a Nike athlete and so is solinsky why the hell would nike ever want to show a video of Any of their athletes killing another on of their own athletes, let alone one that is part of the whole nike oregon project with al sal. Rupp was supposed to win this race, i'm sure if he did win it nike would have done something with it.

[soggysausage]

@metsrule660 boy dont nobody care about a 10k

[ProserVids]

Not sure how much training I need to put in to activate BEASTMODE, but after this I'm hungry for it.

[chibang4]

What an ANIMAL!!!! I hate running myself, but love this video... makes me want to run. hahaha

[Squishykitkat]

song is intro by the xx

[Crosscountry616]

Met him before! great inspiration, and a good guy.

[odyb95]

whats the song??

[iRunner15]

favoriting this shit

[smash37]

THATS beast mode

[sdchargerfan78]

Damn I wish I could break 27 mins for 5k lol

[Pangolinist]

What a beast.

[dgomes27]

whos the fuckin loser that disliked this?

[123repeater]

@dgomes27 Galen Rupp disliked this video

[julabhon]

If ypu don't get chills watching that....your dead.

[seanallheart]

Go Pre =D what a monster runner. Yea, I'm a fan. GoSEAN.org

[jcogan12]

@doingitnatural seriously?  you, just stfu and let them talk because they're more into track then you'll ever be. theyre just "doingitnatural"

[jcogan12]

@doingitnatural seriously? you, just stfu and let them talk because they're more into track then you'll ever be. theyre just "doingitnatural" FUCKER

[racealistic]

After clicking on this video, i did not know who mr Solinsky was. I was following the black man in blue all this time, at the end i went :O.

[medliberty]

Stupid music overwhelms poor narration.

[Caxwell33]

53 on his last 400 that is ABSURD

[MyFreedMan]

@Caxwell33 actually, it was a 56

[serrapadres1]

500 hundred of these views are mine

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

you can watch ENTIRE race right here on YT or on Flotrack, sans music. I didn't like the music when i first saw this clip, but now it seems appropriate....its just a clip after all. Entire race is VERY interesting, from start to finish!.....

[Shomeintheknee]

I agree, music makes it 10x better

[AntiConniff]

Dump the music please. I wanna watch the race and listen to the commentary.

[GusandCo]

@AntiConniff fuck you the music is dank

[AntiConniff]

@GusandCo No need to be offensive. And yes, the music is dank, as in unpleasantly damp and chilly.

[BatmanRobbins270]

@AntiConniff no one fucking cares how big your vocabulary is. shut up and watch the damn race

[AntiConniff]

@BatmanRobbins270 Big vocabulary knowing the meaning of dank? I guess yours is small. And the music is still crap.

[rockinsurfkid]

i love these commentators, they get so into it! not to mention the fact that in the whole race vid they keep track of every single person in the race and not just the leaders, i have so much respect for these guys

[SayingNo]

lol the commentator with 2 laps to go throught he was on target for 27.40, then with 200m to go he thought 27.05 in the end he smashed 27 mins the last 800 must have been so quick!

[petervankan1]

Can there be a law banning music with sports videos please ?

Great race btw.

[BattleRifle112]

@petervankan1 Can there be a law banning people who complain please? It's a great race, and wether you like it or not music is coupled with the video. Find a different link if you hate it that much.

[doktajae]

holy crap...and to think that I barely can run under his "easy pace" for my two mile race pace. listening to this with headphones, i felt chills down my spine.

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

HAMMER TIME!!!.........maybe it was just the socks.

[gopher3737]

epic video, was this at the Stanford meet last year? LOVE the commentary, you can literally feel the excitement as the race goes on...

[KCR726]

I watched the whole race (three parts) and did not get bored once cause of that announcer. This is how events should be announced.

[Kport55]

incredible

[EjamTV]

This gives me chills.

[The95speeddemon]

That song + Ryan from Flotrack = Goosebumps

[BullShitAlert]

The 1 dislike is a paralyzed person.

[runnerdude5000]

Who is the one dislike on here? What the crap?

[swimmergirl2424]

this guy is fricken awesome! I wish I could run like that! that takes some serious dedication! I can't even run a 3k

[21ries]

unreal...american distance running has a very bright future!!! ur the man solinsky

[MajorThorn]

Man. The Flo commentators are epic.

[PickledHarrrington]

the music really makes the video

[skullkrushr93]

This gives me goosebumps every time I watch it

[chenstah346]

American distance running has a bright future

[trackrunner623]

"Like" doesn't sum up my feelings for this race.

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

its not an overstatement to say this race is an historic event(well, at least within the track world)...in its own way its sorta Bannisteresque. first american, first non-african to break the 27 barrier...a barrier many thought was unbreachable by a homegrown american boy...particularly by a runner carrying 165 lbs...great job.

[TheRunningLife]

this video made me tearey

[blob91834]

I talked to Chris before the national race for the cross country junior Olympics and he is pure class... I asked him for tips and he said don't change anything keep doin what you do because it got you here...smart words from a beast runner

[hibbitish]

If I can run my 800 tomorrow as fast as Solinsky just ran the last 800 of this race, I'd set my PR by over 10 seconds.

[ts14james]

@hibbitish if isn't part of the equation....there is no if....just believe that you can do it and it'll happen

[Rhyno564]

Whenever I watch this before a race, I PR

[bswrona]

Just the fact that he's able to rip off a 56-57 second 400 at the END of the race is unreal......

[LadyInRedCUH]

I wish the background music weren't so loud. :-( I can't hear the commentators anymore.

[caboughnut]

the one person who disliked this is dumb.

[XCftmfw]

@caboughnut Probably was a Kenyan who wished he was as baller as Solinksky

[RunninNerdy]

<3



[boy4everjoy]

i dont even know what this is but it was good that guy can sure run!!

[snowboardingfan10]

What a BEAST!!

[agentwhite102]

BEAST MODE!

[Crosscountry616]

when i met him he said he was nothing special.. i still beg to differ! what a beast.

[BR35XCTRACK]

Who honestly disliked this?.....

[deekin421]

@BR35XCTRACK The last guy he past in the blue who still had 4 laps to go?

[notoriousbman]

@BR35XCTRACK It was obviously Galen Rupp...

[evantstowers]

@BR35XCTRACK

bekele!

he's scurred!

[cicirunner]

@evantstowers You are funny

[27strauby]

@BR35XCTRACK Runner's World probs

[jeremywrnr]

[devilman819]

I met him at FLrunners its a race in Florida for high schools, Really cool guy, I got a poster signed by him and everything, hes awesome, I got a chance to speak with him 1v1 and he told me his life story :D

[Dojotortoise]

This always makes me just want to RUN

[M3anDAD]

[MclovinSaucy]

[iRun70]

[superchunk1234]

[skruffy12runner]

[surveysaysNO]

Turn the damn music down

[hillsonn]

@surveysaysNO

i love the music...gets me more hyped every time i watch

[stew20009]

Amazing...Absolutely Amazing

[Crosscountry616]

i got to meet him at FLRUNNERS10. Awesome day that was!

[xHunterXIV]

@Crosscountry616 Lucky! Our team couldn't go to that meet because it was homecoming week.

[thehunteredlife1]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that was just added to my inspirational running playlist

[njxcjustin]

I can't wait for the 2011 season. Chris, Teg, Ritz, Webb, Lagat -- we're finally ready to start kicking some serious ass!

[TomsMVP]

@njxcjustin rupp too

[lilmarky21]

How Can You Dislike This??!!! Did GAYlin Rupp watch this or something? Hands down sickest vid on the web.

[7777lkmjoeqwert]

a runner cant get into beastmode. its too boring. ex. this is apparently the best example of american running. it was boring and the only thing that deceived me into thinking it may be good was the music

[broshed]

@7777lkmjoeqwert

shut the fuck up you fatass faggot, you run a sub 27 min 10k, then talk, you piece of shit

[Slaughter013]

@7777lkmjoeqwert you're a lazy whore

[sday4857]

There's fast, then there's Solinsky fast.

[ehenni88]

I don't really know anything about running, but this video is so motivating. I just want to go out and kick ass at something.

[hibbitish]

Watching Solinsky itching to go with over half a mile to go really gets me. The entire time he was taking off, I was just sitting there in amazement.

[VIV292]

what a BEAST run

[GuppyPal]

This is possibly the most awesome race I have ever watched. I remember watching it and just screaming at my computer. Could not believe how good Chris looked after the first 5000m, and then seeing him start to creep up and finally explode I was going crazy. Immensely inspirational. Major congrats to Chris for this and his entire 2010 season. Just wow. I'm so happy for him.

[Slaughter013]

@GuppyPal i was just gonna say, very inspiring!

[Karly2711]

Un extraterrestre !

this video makes me feel overjoyed

[Slaughter013]
