 First shoes, I'm going to wrap up here on the table. Yes, we're getting them shipped out. Thanks for your patience. We did the live giveaway last Wednesday. And shout out to Olive, you won a pair. And basically I wasn't monitoring the chat quite close enough and it turned out that we had a size 10 for Olive. So Olive, congrats, we're wrapping up yours first. Okay, got six shoes done. We're about halfway through. Because of the scooter situation, I don't think I can carry 12 pairs of running shoes into the post office at once. So I'm going to call it there, finish the other six tonight under the lights here in the studio, in the carport. But I feel good, six going out today, and then six more tomorrow. All right, the shoes are out the door. Oh, it's just a beautiful day out. It's finally feeling like summer in Denver. And yes, I'm just going to say it now. I think the first summer job or frankly year round job that the boys will have, my boys will be wrapping up these running shoes and being in charge of shipping them off around the world. Cause it does take time to wrap them up well, make sure the address is correct. And I'm going to come up with a better system for that as well at some point. But thanks for bearing with me if you are waiting for your shoes. And if they're internationally based, I think we sent some to Malaysia and Brazil today. It'll probably take at least a couple of weeks. So just keep that in mind. Today marks week number three of no fresh new running footage on this YouTube channel. But somehow we keep plugging along every single day. It's amazing. And so remember I asked, I don't know, two and a half weeks ago, I asked for your advice and ideas for ideas for this daily running vlog even when I'm injured. So today's the title of today's vlog, top three running vlogs of 2019. It's based on one fan out there who commented a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for this idea. I think it's a great idea. So that's going to be the focus of our time here in the studio. And yes, keyword is going to be the number three for the top three running vlogs thus far in 2019. And I think it's a great idea to do this because since January 1st, oh my goodness, have we doubled? I think we've over doubled the amount of subscribers. So for all the new subscribers, I always like to give a big welcome to you just so you know this is a daily, every single day, 5 a.m. mountain time, a new vlog publishes. There's a lot of running content to go dig through. And some of you are messaging me on Instagram saying I'm binging right now and I just appreciate you going back into the archive and watching it. So that's what we're going to do right now. Now YouTube is a funny thing like other social media platforms. It's all based on an algorithm. So how you found this YouTube channel is probably based on your interests and based on your past history on YouTube as far as what videos you are clicking on. And yes, the CTR, the click through rate, really the click through rate and the watch time on every single video really determines how well a video will do on YouTube, on a global platform. It's crazy. So I'm slowly figuring this out as we move along with this YouTube journey. And therefore, today's top three is going to be based on not on views, not on comments, not on likes, not on the click through rate but rather the watch time. And why is that important? Basically it means if the watch time is high on a YouTube video, it means that people are most likely watching the video for most of it, if not all the way to the end of the video. So from start to begin or start to end and the YouTube algorithm really, really loves that. They are tracking everything as you probably already know. So thank you for watching these videos throughout. Now listen, if you can't watch it all the way to the end, I totally understand but it does help give a little boost to the YouTube algorithm. With that said, let's dive into the top three vlogs of 2019 thus far. And yes, it's up a right hand corner. If you wanna go check it out, number three was a recent one actually. I'm not too surprised. The drum roll. London Marathon 2019. Elite results and analysis. That was what, two weeks ago. So that vlog is doing very well. It has 158,000 minutes of watch time. Pretty impressive, that's amazing. All right, moving on to number two. Oh yeah, and here's a little clip of number three. A drink, threw it down and boom. Geremu could not go with him. And I called it though. I did say that when there was four Ethiopians around Kipchoge, I said Geremu is going to go with Kipchoge and sure enough, he was the last one to survive and go with Kipchoge to the finish line. So here you go. Kipchoge, your 2019 London Marathon winner. And number two, thus far published, gosh, two and a half, maybe three months ago already, the Hoka Carbon Rocket versus the Nike Vaporfly 4%. Flying it, I compared those two shoes in that vlog, upper right-hand corner, go check it out. It came in at number two with 198,000 minutes of watch time. Pretty impressive comparison. You've got your flying it upper on the 4% and then an engineered mesh on the rocket. Guess what? I'm gonna give the upper hand to the rocket for overall comfort. I'm really, really enjoying the comfort and breathability of the upper on this rocket. On the 4%, you've got a 31-millimeter stack height in the heel and a 21-millimeter in the forefoot, which means a 10-millimeter drop. That's pretty tall. Over in the rocket, you've got 26-millimeter stack height in the heel, 25-millimeter in the forefoot, so a one-millimeter drop. Straight fire on the vlog with 198,000 minutes of watch time at number two. Pretty impressive. That was a fun vlog to film. And last but not least, the number one running vlog thus far in 2019 for total watch time on this YouTube channel. I'm not surprised because people wanna run faster. It's how to run faster. Threshold training is key. Blowing at number three and number two out of the water with 348,000 minutes of watch time. That's amazing. Here's a little sneak peek. Oh, cause then you start, you start flirting with long, slow distance days. And now how do you actually go about training your lactate threshold? The first step is you need to figure out your 5K PR. All right? So maybe let's just take 18 minutes as an example. If that is your 5K PR, you wanna subtract absolutely incredible. The comments on that vlog are amazing. It's just, it's taken off. Like it's doing really, really well. And obviously it's a hot topic amongst the running community here on YouTube. People wanna run faster. And so that vlog really struck a chord. I hope if you haven't seen it and you're interested in running faster, I'd encourage you to go check it out up a right hand corner. And so once again, thank you so, so much for spreading the word about the channel to your running friends, for watching on a consistent basis, for sharing these videos on social media. It all helps so, so much. And again, the key number is the number three for the top three running vlogs thus far in 2019. And you better believe it, the question of the day. Name, if you wanna give three, go for it. But I'll just say, what is your number one favorite vlog so far from 2019? Cause it's January, February, March, April, May. Like we're almost talking almost a half a year, not quite, but almost a half a year of daily vlogging. So there's plenty to choose from. Let us know down in the comments. I'm actually fascinated to hear. And you might have to go back and dig a little bit in the archive to find the one that really jumped out at you. I'm not gonna sign off yet. Going back out to the carport, keep wrapping those presents. Those boys could not be eight, nine, 10 years old quick enough to help wrap these presents. Oh my goodness, it takes time. I'm realizing I gotta build this into the schedule whenever we do these running shoe giveaways. All right, back out to the carport. Wrap more presents, come on. But we're getting there. These are going out to Thomas in Texas. All right, Thomas, they are on their way. I'll get them out the door tomorrow. That is it for tonight. A great day. We'll be seeing you tomorrow. See beauty, work hard.
