 good evening how is everybody doing welcome to the live stream oh my goodness welcome to the studio okay let me just adjust the camera here real quick you know how I like to do that oh hold on like I said welcome to the studio welcome to the running shoe giveaway everybody oh my goodness there is there's a lot of people here already that's what I'm talking about it's 7 p.m. mountain time on Monday April 1st it's not April Fool it's not April Fool's we are doing this tonight ladies and gentlemen hello no pranks that's right we're doing this welcome everyone oh my goodness good to see everyone here wow what a world we are in okay this is the studio we have a lot of shoe boxes in here we've got a lot of running shoes we've got a lot of running shoes to give away and this is how we do it here on this YouTube channel we we like to give back and I'll get into that in a minute oh my goodness welcome everybody and all right as we get going as we get going I'll mention this in a second spread the link around that's right grab the link above I'd really appreciate it that would help this channel out spread this link around as we get going here all right I'll give a shout out to some folks in a minute oh and by the way can you hear me it looks like the video might be working tonight compared to last week the the internet seems to be fast so that's really good oh man welcome everybody okay so it is 701 701 oh my my well over a hundred that's what I'm talking about that's what I'm talking about all right let me grab my water bottle hold on so it was a busy day it was a very busy day and oh boy stream is good that's what I'm talking about okay so I'm gonna give some shout outs to Michelle to Stefan Jeremy Allen bow Anthony Lewis Matt vineyard Brian Matt again oh thank you all for being here and before we get going I'm gonna go over a few rules okay so here we go because last time it got a little crazy with everything and we learned a few lessons after the last running shoe giveaway here's all the shoes behind me oh man we'll talk about these in a minute and basically this is this is what you're looking at right behind me so we're gonna do at least 10 pairs of running shoes tonight in the giveaway and we are gonna go over a few rules just to make sure everybody's on the same page and all right and then I'm gonna make sure that true love is inside ready to record everything and then stay organized with respect to the running shoe size and what how we're gonna stay organized with that yes it is a pile of shoes in here okay here we go here's the rules so basically you can only enter your name once into the chat all right that's rule number one you can only enter your name once into the chat you can only choose one shoe size you cannot do a range so now you can't do seven to eight or seven to seven and a half or 12 to 13 you got to choose one so your favorite shoe size I'm a seven and a half so basically so that's rule number two you can only you have to put your one shoe size and then here's another rule if you are outside the United States you have to translate your shoe size to American shoe sizes because I live in the in the United States it just gets way too confusing for Bridget and I to basically convert I think like centimeters and like UK has their own sizing system and so you have to convert your shoe size to American shoe sizes that'll just help us out a lot and that's how you'll enter so your name you got to convert your shoe size you can put your shoe size your only one shoe size and then you also need to put M or F for male or female into the chat as well once again because and listen I'm sorry ladies just gonna put this out here right now I don't know how many ladies shoes are in this pile we're trying to build up that that pile of ladies shoes so if you're a lady out there I do apologize ahead of time I don't I have no idea actually I haven't opened up all the boxes so but we will continue to build up the collection of ladies shoes as well but so that's one thing and then you cannot you don't want to put your name in the chat yet so don't do it yet and don't put your shoe size in yet basically as soon as I put go into the chat you'll see my name you'll see go and then you'll have two minutes so this time it's not three minutes it's just two minutes all right and the whole idea all right here we go the whole idea behind these running shoe giveaways is to give back to give back to those that really need running shoes all right so we're working on the honor system here I am still developing the running shoe scholarship idea but my thought process is that I could not afford brand new running shoes 18 months ago this was a pair of shoes the Hoka Clayton that I bought off of Craigslist for $20 so because I am now feeling very fortunate to have many many running shoes I want to give back so all of these running shoes behind me are either brand new or gently used from you the viewers and here's one more thing before we get going could you share this link right now share the link on your social media spread it around why because as this channel continues to grow and become stronger the more we will be able to do this because the more that the more people that know that we are doing these running shoe giveaways the more shoes that will show up at my house and at the PO box to be give away to all of you so spread the link around right now if you could that would help us out a lot help the channel out a lot so that hopefully we can do this again very soon in the future so again don't put your name in yet hold your hold your horses and I know there's a slight delay so I will build that into the timer let me just fire up the timer here and if true love is listening maybe she could just let me know that that she is that she is ready to go I believe let me just pull up the timer here real quick all right this is good times all right hold on hold on and and we are going to break it down into different sizes so that basically it'll be a lot easier to find the right shoe size depending on what is is going there so all right so I'm going to one second here okay here we go one second one second thank you all for being here this is exciting this is fun again welcome to the studio if this is your first time this is how we throw down here on this channel and I love you

guess wink wink Miles Dennis let's see U.S. a U.S. a U.S. gentleman not Sean I apologize I did not clarify an American oh nice Tropical Runner son welcome not Rop that's a good one Nate Nate got it Allen Webb Allen Webb can you believe it I couldn't believe it when I saw the results Allen Webb that is right great great guess he's still the American mile record record holder right I'm not as quite up-to-date on my track and field I'm more into the trail ultra running road running now so I'm not quite but he still has the American mile record I do believe so Allen Webb that's right he's got a good job Nate good work there a lot of great guesses meb Justin Jorge Torres now that would have been a throwback that would have been a throwback oh man so um actually I'll just throw that story in right now Jorge Torres who ran for CU I never ran with him I was there in 05 and he left oh boy I think he left in 02 I don't quote me on that I think right around there oh my goodness thank you Allen for that thank you Allen for that mech that other super chat so Jorge Torres when he was in middle school I told this story in today's vlog basically I was talking about running form and in middle school Jorge has a twin brother and so Jorge and Eduardo they were both very good Jorge was faster he ended up in the Olympics in the 10k he ran for CU was a speaking of cross-country was a cross-country national champion for CU individually they also won a team title gosh oh boy 2000 I believe so in middle school though his middle school coach they would cross their arms when they were running and so his middle school coach put sticks in his in his hands and forced him to run with sticks and basically it forced Jorge and Eduardo to teach them to have good arm carry so that their arms weren't doing this and twisting their body so much because if you do this with sticks in your hands you're gonna hit yourself with the sticks so I thought that was a pretty neat idea especially as a young runner working on your running form early is is a really is a really cool is a really smart move in my opinion so boom boom boom boom okay so cool yes let's see let me just jump back in here 346 for web still the American record thank you I just wanted to make sure it's been so long I think wait I remember I think it was in Europe I think it was in Belgium that he did that if I if memory record if my recollection is correct so I gosh what was that like 2004 or 5 I have no idea really but it was a long time ago so he that's pretty amazing that he still has the record I mean it's been a while now so so let's see here I'm gonna give some shout outs real quick to London Galindo Hein is here Suzanne Lance is here go good luck X strength Logan is here he came the year after

going well I did my first track workout last week and I do want to ask though it's amazing April 1st so what does that mean we've made it through the first quarter of training in 2019 that's pretty exciting and basically I want to do a check-in I'm gonna actually do this on the vlog as well but I want to do a check-in are you suffering from any injuries and I know that's kind of a tough topic but as we wait for true love to bring the names out basically let us know in the chat if you're suffering from any injuries because I think it's a good it's the quarter mark in the year you know I like to break up the year into quarters just like I don't know I guess the the school system does it that way and just do like a little check-in on how the body is feeling if there's any niggles as they say over in the UK meaning aches and pains in the body so let us know in the chat if you're suffering at all for many injuries and maybe there is somebody else that is suffering as well and who knows maybe they have a tip like I don't know I I feel like there's great conversations that happen in the chat that I can't watch because I am talking so anyway let us know how you're doing on the body how you're feeling let's see Lance V shout out all right shout out to Lance V you all are the best all right so we've got some Achilles tendonitis from Matt shin splints from Sadik comes and goes

Antoine what's up welcome Antoine good to see everyone hip strain from Mike David my one leg is more tired than your other leg that's interesting yeah might mean it might mean you need to get to the gym and work on that weak leg the weaker leg or the tired leg just an idea okay let's see so calf strain for Mason thank you for being here London I appreciate it band for Google phone Zachary has a hip flexor tear oh my goodness London has plantar fasciitis oh I'm so sorry so sorry so sorry so right now I'm pretty healthy I suffered from plantar fasciitis really bad in 2018 up until basically December 2018 and oh man it was not good pretty debilitating I was okay I ran through it but it was like my full foot strike and my full gait cycle was off everything was off because I had to kind of muscle through it and it just really it was not good for your strut for my stride so I can really relate to plantar fasciitis it is no fun at all so okay good to see all this I'm sorry I'm and I shouldn't say good to see all of it because it's not fun so okay let's see Caleb I'll give a shout out to Caleb welcome Michael has a pulled hamstring man that's a tough one hamstrings are I I've had a tweak on a hamstring but never a full pole so that's I've heard they're really hard so hope that heals up for you quickly so I'm gonna jump into the chat and answer some questions as we will just be here a few more minutes I'm thinking in fact I might even just check in with with Bridget here see how she's doing and I will answer your questions let's oh my goodness perfect yeah yeah you do that yeah yeah yeah yeah take your time yep yeah you're good you're good all right we just got to check in we just got to check in for true love she's almost done thank you true love so we're good she'll be here in a minute with those names she just needs to now put them in the different cups for the different sizes of the shoes and so let's see here Craig said what to do for shin splints Craig yeah they are tough I've had it I think Craig I've only had shin splints once in my life now what I did is pretty intense massaging gentle at first but then slowly getting a little more aggressive with it but I I actually did it on the foam roller that's what actually ended up helping me a lot so I would I would lay on my side and then I would roll out really just kind of right by the shins being gentle at first though that's the key you don't want to dig in too quickly at least that's what I did and they did they did end up going away I did do height height heat and ice so I heated them up and then I iced them heated them up and then ice them and I'd go back and forth probably like 10 minutes each heat and then back and forth probably five times that seemed to help quite a bit and then I did take a little bit of ibuprofen I know I know I'm not pushing medicine on anybody but I did take a little ibuprofen as a little anti-inflammatory what else did I do and then just your overall stretching yeah well I can't show you because you can't see my legs right now but just like overall stretching even like oh shoot oh my goodness another super chat from Suzanne you're the best so I can't show you I'm not I'm not tall enough but basically where you pull your foot toward your chest and then it does stretch out between your knee and your foot anyway I can't describe it any other way so just pull that foot toward your chest and then just hold it for like 30 seconds do that do that maybe twice a day that seemed to help me as well okay moving on thank you Suzanne that's right I know the work never stops you are correct the boys are asleep somehow miraculously they are asleep okay Stefan says ice and rest for shin splints there you go that's a good one two Mason my mile PR is I should know this really easily but is 421 421 I had to think as in college you run 1500s so 421 for the mile so not too shabby I used to have a little bit of speed I'm not sure if I could ever hit that ever again but 421 for the mile not like blazing fast but we'll take it for a for a guy that's trying to run longer distances we will take it let's see here our recovery sandals worth it that is from Nate absolutely Nate I'm telling you actually Nate below this video I there is a link to these sandals that you can purchase from Amazon and help support the channel and basically these are the Hoka sliders they are my best friend I wear them every single day I often when Bridget and I are making a purchase we always ask ourselves do we need it can we afford it will it last so what's the durability of this thing I've worn this thing every single day these sliders sandals for since July so what is it almost over nine months now and the outsole is fine and the reason I like these more than the Oofoos I used to like Oofoos a lot oh fos I like these Hoka sliders better because there's a little more support it's the Oofoos were actually a little too squishy for me they were more comfortable but almost too comfortable if that makes sense so anyway the Hoka sliders and I love them they're down below I would absolutely recommend it okay moving on here do let's see Zach I'm not sure if I'm following do you have a preference between oh okay a preference between recovery sliders and thong flip flops yeah I just love the I love the sliders love the sliders so Devon asks what happened to the Hoka Clifton 4's just not for you I really like your comparison video with the beacons I realized the light just went out I will get a I come prepared with a backup battery Devon I'm gonna keep talking as I'm putting this new battery in yeah so Devon the reason I bought those from Hoka was because those Hoka Clifton 4's was because they felt really good on my planer fasciitis like really good I could almost run pain-free in the Clifton 4's with a planer fasciitis but basically the planer fasciitis went away and so I kind of stopped wearing them I basically stopped wearing them and I didn't feel like I didn't need them in the rotation if that makes sense just because I am trying out so many different pairs of shoes so anyway one second here okay here we go let's see if we can get some light back there you know me as a cinematographer I like the light I like the light let's see so we are waiting Ronan for the shoes true love is almost ready she's just cutting it up putting it in the different cups it's close thank you for your patience okay Lewis asks what was my best race in college good question Lewis I love that question so Lewis I had a lot of injuries in college I had I think I've told this to you all before I think it was nine stress fractures nine stress fra- it was not good not good it was a why did that happen who knows I mean we were you know we're a high mileage team high intensity running for national championships as teams and we didn't mess around we didn't mess around and I was okay with that like I wasn't bitter I wasn't sad like I was okay I was sad I was sad a little bit but like I wanted to win I wanted to run fast and I knew based on my talent level that I needed to go for I need to train at the highest level possible so I wasn't afraid to take risks maybe they weren't calculated risk remember we talked about that last week so Lewis I think I could have had many many more fun races but it just wasn't meant to be but I did have one cross-country race at the University of Colorado where I was the second guy on the CU team that was a cool day the only guy that beat me was Steven Piper shout out to Piper he now works for Mizuno down in Georgia which is pretty neat so anyway that was like that was a that was a great day I was sophomore I think so I was a walk-on the previous year I come back the second year and I was I finished second on the team the varsity team in a cross-country race so that was a special day that was definitely my my best race in college thank you Lewis for that question let's see here yes nine stress fractures Mike asked you wear insoles in your running shoes if so what kind I do not Mike I Mike I've dabbled with the insoles before I guess probably just with super feet I think that was the company I mean basically I know that they can help people that really overpronate or collapse inward a lot but yeah so good I don't use them I don't use them sometimes I've dabbled with them when I'm injured okay let's see here so I think I missed a question up here Joel asked how many miles a week did you run it see you Joel it was a doozy it was a lot Joel we probably topped out at about oh gosh usually we were around 100 you for the senior guys senior guys not the lower you you know we started out at about 70 ish as freshman approximately but then you know we dabbled with the hundred every now and then and then we'd come back down and then kind of go back up and yeah so you know everybody reacts differently to volume some people need it some people some people don't don't react well to it they just get really tired and burned out so yeah I'm I would say I love it but I do have to walk that line like I'd love to run you know a lot you know 110 or 120 or 100 you know a lot but you have to walk that line and just be careful so good question Joel okay so let's see here Anthony asked about cross training yeah Anthony I think cross training is great I think strength in the gym is great I I get in the pool quite a bit Anthony I need to do better even at the pool I like the weightless feeling in a pool with aqua jogging and just like moving the legs in different directions and knee drive so yeah I know I think cross training is great Anthony I highly recommend it let's see somebody asked what was my peak mileage in high school if you went straight to 70 miles per week in college so I probably topped out at about 35 to 40 miles a week in high school I actually think I was under trained in high school I think if I would have dabbled with 50 I would have been quite a bit quite a bit better and the reason I know that is because basically my 800 meter PR time in high school compared to my 5k PR time my my 5k PR time should have been quite a bit lower and what does that tell me I didn't have the the strength or the endurance or the stamina for a 5k so I think if my mileage would have been a little higher now I know some high school programs are go like toward 70 and 80 miles a week I'm not in that camp I don't think that's a little too high for high schoolers but if that's what you do and you are successful with it perfect but I dabbled with 35 but just so you know I forget who asked that but just so you know I went to see you I was not recruited out of high school and then I trained alone for a year and slowly went from 35 to 70 okay so it wasn't like overnight it was it was an entire year actually and then I was able to walk on to the team at I was probably running 70 to 75 miles a week when I walked on so good questions all man over 300 people
