 Alright everybody say hello to Jeff. What's up YouTube? Good to be a member. Jeff is a fan of the the vlog and the running videos and is visiting from Arizona. Now Jeff how did you find the channel? I always like to ask ask that question. I'm always looking for good running motivation. Hey McCroth Seth a few months ago and I can't get enough. I love the daily vlog. I love the positiveness and just happened to be coming out to Denver. I'll be neat to come out and take a run with them. So we're here we're in the snow. There we go. That's what it's all about guys. Running motivation, getting out the door even when it's cold right? So we're at Washington Park cruising around the two-and-a-half mile loop and just enjoying the beauty out here. It is beautiful. It is beautiful. This is where this is where I did the half marathon time trial. Oh was it? Okay. On the pavement. So alright and I'm I'm running in the Solomon Ultras today so decided to pull them out since it's a little snowy and I haven't worn them in a while so just testing the Solomon Ultras. What are you and Jeff? I'm in the Hoka Challenger 4s. Nice. And the trail shoe? Yeah. So and I'm interested YouTube in the shields from Nike. I don't know. I I've heard mixed reviews on how dry they keep your feet but I am interested. Stay tuned. See if I can't track down a pair today. We'll see. What's your name? Nick. Nick? Say hello to YouTube. Are you serious? Yeah. That's awesome. Thanks for watching. Do you recognize the green hat? That's awesome. Just met Nick in the park. Hello Nick and thank you for watching. So part of the... Jeff's made a decision perhaps. The Mock. Nice. Now you got to run as fast as the Mock. Got to run fast now. They feel good? Feel good. I like it. Now it's time to get some socks. Haha nice. As far as the color goes. Yeah. I'm not... Is that it? Oh yeah. Right? Silver. That's dope. That's good. It's good with me. You're the silver fox now man. Yeah. Appreciate it. I'll be in touch. Runners roost. It's a place to be. Alright. Back at the house. Back at the house. Oh my goodness. What a great day. Well okay. It was a hard day. Now let me explain. No more running in today's vlog. No more buying shoes. Just talking. We need to talk YouTube. We need to talk. Alright. It was a hard day. Why was it a hard day? Essentially if you were up at 5 a.m. this morning when the videos publish and just so you know every single day every single new video is going to publish moving forward at 5 a.m. mountain time. That's where I live. Denver. So if you're on the East Coast in New York or in Charlotte or in Miami that is 7 a.m. for you. If you're in the Central Time Zone, Chicago, St. Louis, somewhere in Arkansas it's going to be 6 a.m. and then of course 4 a.m. on the West Coast. If you're in Europe it's going to be around lunchtime. I believe London is 7 hours ahead of Denver. I could be wrong though. Anyway or if you're in Asia there's you know we have viewers from Malaysia and I think there's a viewer from China now. So I don't quite know the time zones. Essentially I just want to let you know every single day every new video is going to publish at 5 a.m. my time. So that's Denver mountain time. Okay it was a hard day because when today sorry when yesterday's video published essentially what happened was that it published not in HD so high definition so beautiful resolution. It published in 360p 360p. That means it was low resolution and it was grainy and blurry and it did not exemplify exemplify the beauty of Colorado to its fullest because in yesterday's vlog you got to go check it out guys upper right hand corner please go watch it because it's a great video but a lot of you guys watched it before I was able to wait I woke up yesterday at 7 30 a.m. and so by the time I woke up two and a half hours after the video had published over 300 people had watched the video in 360p resolution which is very very low it's not high quality it's not good and it breaks my heart when something happens like that because I want to take care of you guys I want to be here for you I want to inspire you and therefore that means bringing you high quality videos and so if you watched yesterday's video before let's say 8 a.m. go back and watch it again in HD I think you will appreciate it in addition in addition guys oh I'm so sorry my other camera not this camera my other camera the microphone jack broke yesterday and I didn't know it and so the audio from yesterday's vlog is not so good you probably didn't even notice but it just sounded it sounded bad especially to a cinematographer's ear I could notice it some other people noticed it I apologize but now I think we're on track I have a different camera set up the microphone is attached I believe we're okay just wanted to clear the air it's been a hard day on the technical side of YouTube but guess what you got a roll with the punches just like in training like you got it some days are good some days are not so good and that's okay it's like patience persistence and you can achieve anything you can achieve anything but I just wanted to be completely transparent with you guys as to why yesterday was a little rough here on YouTube setting that aside setting the negative aside in focusing on the positive from today we all have peaks and valleys in this world right we all have things that we're dealing with whether it's with work with school with just life in general like when maybe your car broke down today I don't know hopefully it didn't but you never know so we got to deal with the negatives we got to enjoy the positives right and so today Jeff you saw him we ran through Washington Park he is from Arizona and Jeff found this channel I think four months ago approximately and essentially he reached out to me via email and said hey I'm coming to Denver you want to go for a run and I was like yes let's do this and both of you know we're both busy but we made it happen and it was amazing and it's so cool I know that's like a cliche word but it's it was amazing to connect from Strava to the real world Strava to the real world I mean it happened it actually happened and so for you know a lot of people harp on social media and you know maybe apps in general but Strava kind of brought us together YouTube brought Jeff and I to the same location so that we could go for a run together that's amazing and speaking of Strava today we I this Strava YouTube extravaganza past 1000 followers on Strava and I don't say that to brag I say that simply to mention that I don't look at you as followers I look at you as friends now listen I don't know if we'll ever meet in person there's people all around the world who now follow this YouTube channel and follow me on Strava and by the way let's connect below but the the hope the hope just like today is that not only can we connect on Strava but that we can become friends and that we can go for runs together in the real world like I love Strava it's great to see everyone's training it's great to see everyone's beautiful photos from their run but the at the end of the day at the end of the day it's about connecting in the real world okay so that's what I'm talking about so thank you shout out to the thousand followers aka friends on Strava I love you thanks for being here and let's keep running together let's keep running together oh my goodness oh my goodness and of course the keyword of the day is friends down below in the comments if you have made it this far thank you I try to do the keyword every single day in order to get the conversation started because this channel yes I like to film beautiful shots yes I like to try to impart a little bit of wisdom when it comes to running shoes or running gear and yes I think I have something to offer when it comes to running training ideas but at the end of the day it's about your comments it's about communicating and sharing ideas on YouTube and it all happens down below in the comments so that's why I do the keyword of the day just so you know and the question of the day I actually wrote it out because it's critical it is a critical question of the day if there is one question of the day that you should chime in on it's this one now let me let me just explain essentially with this question of the day I'm trying to figure out the future I'm trying to look to the future and so this is how it's gonna work I'm gonna give you probably eight options to choose from you are only allowed to choose two options down in the comments okay so here we go this is the question of the day what are the top two reasons you watch running videos on YouTube it doesn't have to just be this channel it could be any YouTube channel that focuses on running what are the top two reasons you watch running videos on YouTube are you ready and I'm gonna post this question of the day down below I'll pin it to the top so you can go back and look at these these options number one nutrition number two racing vlogs racing recap videos number three running motivation number four gear reviews now that could be watch that could be clothing that could be hats sunglasses number five running shoe reviews so that's a different than number four I split them up number six training plans number seven how to start running so beginner runners that are interested in that perhaps and last but not least number eight building community with other runners and I'm actually gonna add a ninth if there's something that I did not list comment below with that that could be one of your answers and so what are the top two reasons you watch running videos on YouTube thank you for answering the question of the day down below this is critical for the future of this channel your opinion matters your ideas matter I
