 See you in the behind the scenes, everyone. So this is the 108 waiting. OK, OK, everyone, let's just calm down now. Let's just simmer down now. Big day, big run, solid run. I'll get you the stats out in the studio. And what made this day pretty busy is that all of you are sharing yesterday's vlog to win the Nike Next Percent. Thank you for sharing. It's going far and wide. I appreciate it. It's awesome. And I will pick the winners out of a hat, OK? Two winners, I guess it will be tomorrow when you're watching Friday. So wherever you're at around the world, it'll be Friday. And speaking of around the world, in case you didn't know, many of you do know this. But the vlog, this vlog right here, publishes every day at 5 AM mountain time. That's my time. 5 AM, I put it to automatic publish. Usually I'm asleep when it publishes. But what's happening is that a competition has developed. It's pretty amazing. We're runners. We're competitive people. And so we're driven. So what happens down in the comments every day is a competition to see once the blog publishes who can comment first, all right? So it's your lucky day. If you commented first on this blog, what's the saying, how's the saying go? The early bird gets the worm, OK? You win one of the Running Warehouse gift cards. And so I can tell who is first. And then I will basically pin the winners. So I'm going to give out two gift cards today from Running Warehouse. I will pin the winners in today's comments, down in the comments. So if you were first, congratulations. Again, early bird gets the worm. And yes, last night was the Running Shoe giveaway. So I'm going to give some shoes out in this blog as well as the day develops. I'm actually about to go outside and get the shooty already, because last night is kind of hard. You're watching this on Thursday, but last night was the Running Shoe giveaway live on this YouTube channel. Finally, we're getting shoes out the door to people in need, people who need help, getting a good fresh pair of running shoes on their feet. Cheers. Man, what a day. OK, time to stretch. I'm going to roll a little further. Not sure if you saw my stretching and foam rolling buddy inside there. Michael, he was foam rolling. And he had a waffle in one hand. I feel like we should all foam roll with a waffle in one hand. Crushing it. Just crushing it in there. OK, let's get organized. Now, before I organize the shooty-o, two just important updates and more giveaways. Yes, first of all, here are the shoes from today's run. Skechers, Max Road 4. The legs were just in need of a little extra cushion today. So I went with the Max Road 4s from Skechers over the Asics glide rides. I was just, I was on the fence, really wanted to take the glide ride out. Actually, I actually started putting them on. And then I just was listening to the legs. I was like, nope, I need a little more cushion today. So there's those guys. OK, here we go. Exciting stuff. First of all, if you have not seen or heard, yes, I cut into a Nike Next Percent two days ago and posted it yesterday. And a Vaporfly 4% flying it. Because I cut these open, I don't like to waste, even though I'm going to save these forever for future comparisons to other carbon fiber plate shoes, like the shoes from Hoka. And I just saw that Soccany is releasing a new carbon fiber plate in the spring. Very exciting. Therefore, I am going to give away two brand new pairs of Nike Next Percent that all you have to do to enter your name is to go to yesterday's blog. I will do my best. Sometimes I forget, but I will try to link to it in the upper right hand corner, that little card that pops out right now. All right, if I remember, a little thing popped out there, click on that and then share that video on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. I give all the details in yesterday's blog. OK, moving on. Here we go. It's just exciting. So we do running shoe giveaways here in the studio as often as possible and as often as I get the technology to work. What happens is people donate their gently used running shoes to me. They send them to my PO box, which is listed down below. And what do I mean by gently used under 30 miles? OK, so maybe you took them out for two runs, three runs, probably no more than four runs. So under 30 miles, so they're basically brand new, but not right out of the running shoe store. They ship them to me. And then, usually once a month, we do a running shoe giveaway where we do a live stream here in the studio, here on the channel. And people enter their name, and all the details are given out during the live stream. And then it's OK. It's for people who need help getting running shoes. Like, they just are in a tight position financially, and they can't afford new running shoes. So therefore, I get it, though. Not everybody is, I get it. So this is basically Nick. Shout out to Nick and Nina. They are both in Europe, and I get it. It's a little expensive to ship shoes all the way across the pond to the United States for me to then ship out to somebody else. So Nick is offering. Here we go. As everyone listening, the first person in Germany who wears a size 11 and 1 half, email me. First person, email me. My email, again, is listed down below in the description. You just got to go find it. It is down there. He says, Nick says, I live in Germany and have a pair of Nike Zoom flies with about 30 miles on them, size 11 and 1 half US, or 45.5 in European sizing. If you have anybody in my region, he will donate the shoes to them. He just needs a shipping address. But you got to email me first. First person from Germany, they're men's shoes. Okay, they're men's shoes, size 11 and 1 half, or Euro 44.5. And then Nina, shout out to Nina. Let me just pull it up here. Nina from the UK. Here we go. So this is a lady's size. Shout out to all the ladies in the UK. First lady to email me. And if you have this shoe size, you ready for this? She says, hi Seth. I'd love to donate good condition, less than 100K running shoes. So I guess that's about 60 miles. We'll go for it. We'll go for it. Unfortunately, I'm from the UK and shipping to US costs a ton. I get it. Please let me know if anyone in the UK or Europe that could really use women's UK size four and a half. Size four and a half UK. Women out there in the UK. First person to email me. Send me your mailing address. Perfect. I'd be happy to send it direct. Bada bing, a bada boom. Okay, let's get organized. First of all, gonna put all these away. We go, that's better. Okay, so here are the sketchers. Max Road fours, 18 miles today. About 705 a mile. There it is in kilometers on your screen. I think at the end of the week, I'll give you a little update on how the body is reacting to the good solid volume without the vertical gain. So I'm excited to break that down for you. But I'll give you an update on Sunday. And we're back. Cheers everyone. It's about four hours later. It's 646 PM. Going live in 14 minutes. It's gonna be fun. If you've never been to a running shoe giveaway, there's a lot of excitement, a lot of shoes given. I think we're gonna do, the goal is at least 20 pairs of running shoes. Depending on, basically I stand here in the studio and I do get a little tired, especially after a long 18 miles today. But this rack behind me, most of the, like my goal is to clean out a lot of these shoes behind me and just get them out there to the world to use. Do you know? Cause, oh, all right, all right, bear with me. See, you're already getting me going here. We don't need a pool. We don't need hockey sticks. We don't need a basketball court. We don't need climbing rope. All we need are our two feet and yes, some running shoes. So that's why I love this sport is it's simple. You really don't even need running socks or running watch. You really don't. You just need your own two feet and a little bit of drive and a go get them attitude. Anyway, that's why I am excited to move on my old Hoka Mafates and yes, the Ultra Escalantes, et cetera, et cetera. All right, let's do this folks. I'm going to, I'm going to film right as I go live and then I'll cut the camera and then I'll do a little wrap up after the running shoe giveaway. If you haven't seen it yet, it's it's a upper right hand corner, upper right hand corner. If you want to go experience the magic. All right, let's roll. Test, test one, two, three. We've got audio everybody. It seems to be working. Let's do this. Okay, so Instagram, we're live on YouTube. I'm going to end this in a second. So make sure you come on over. Oh, how are we doing? Can everybody hear me? Let me know in the chat. It looks like everyone can hear me. Oh man, yes. Okay, loud and clear. Is it too loud? Let me know if it's too loud. Oh my goodness. Okay, so cool. This is awesome. Lots of people already here. Okay, let me just put that there. Put that there. Okay, about a bang, about a boom. So this is it everyone. This is the next running shoe giveaway. I can't believe it looks like it's going to be working. Let me just adjust the light here a little bit. It looks a little bright on my end. We did about 25. I'm looking at the pile down at my feet. About 25 pairs of shoes. So we did pretty good, but I did learn a lot tonight as far as efficiency for these running shoe giveaways. So we'll keep getting better and better at this. And if you could spread the word to your running buddies, especially like we are stronger together. We're always stronger together. And the more people that know about this YouTube channel, the more running shoes that will be donated to the PO Box, which is listed down below. And then we can continue to, we could, who knows, maybe we could do these running shoe giveaways twice a month, but it's all about more people. Because again, more people equals more running shoes. And some people just can't afford brand new running shoes. And I get it. Remember my story. Remember my story about my hokas. So thank you again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You all are the best. Seek beauty, work hard, and love each other. See you tomorrow. Oh, oh my goodness. Okay everyone, that's a wrap. Wow, we went for about an hour and 15 minutes. You just crushed it. We crushed it. We love you. I love you. That was true love. So we crushed it, hour and 15 minutes. That was crazy. And again, I'm working on, hold on, let me set this tea down. We crushed it, just like true love just said. And we're gonna get better at this running shoe giveaway efficiency. And question of the day, and I really need your help here. How can we make the running shoe giveaways even more effective and or what ideas do you have to spread the word to more people about these running shoe giveaways? Because I actually ran out of women's shoes tonight. So I think I gave away about 10 pairs of lady's shoes approximately. Maybe not quite that many, but you know, I get more men's shoes sent to me. So if you could think of ways, how could we get gently used, maybe even brand new running shoes sent to my peel box so that we could do this a lot. And I'm excited. Thank you for all the super chats. So a super chat is basically you can give money to the channel during the live stream. And basically I take the money and I use it for shipping the shoes out to the winners. Okay? So that's the deal. Again, if you're outside the United States like in Europe and you were sleeping, we will do the next running shoe giveaway at noon. My time. I don't know when that date will be, but I love you. This is why I love YouTube. I love the vlog, but like helping others get out the door with a fresh pair of running shoes on their feet. There's nothing better than that. There is nothing better than that. Come on. Come on. All right. Let's send it back to running shoe giveaway on the right, the last one. And then we'll throw it back to the 50,000 subscriber blog. Let's keep spreading the word. Come on. Let's get more people here. We need more running shoes. See beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
