As a serious runner I can’t understand why actual Kipchoge wallpaper isn’t being sold. It would be perfect in the room where I display all my Turkey Trot 5k finisher medals 😆🏃♂️🏃♂️
THANK YOU! My wife just doesn't understand why I need to go to the bathroom 3 times before I go out for every run. Now all I have to do is convince her to subscribe to your channel...
I do remember your parents being disappointed when I said I had to go to bed the night before NYCM too 😂 You can’t put a price on the epicness … of their location
I stand by my morning espresso. Anything “better” would be too much of a good thing 😂 though rice pudding and coke would certainly be a last-minute carb boost!
@@TheSeriousRunner you are right Stephen! I feel a collaboration coming soon, where we can incorporate this classic 60s song ua-cam.com/video/n1SGvnvMYwM/v-deo.htmlsi=K3HkghjJ4IJ-OYQS
I've finally understood the serious runner. He's a native new yorker. It all makes sense now
“The excuses are planted” 🤣😂😆
I hope one day to be serious enough to wear Tracksmith..🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
The best part of the video was the last picture.
"No human is limited". Proof that Kipchoge does not follow me on Strava. If he did he would know better.
😂😂😂
😂!!!
I was already on the subway heading to the start line when you were just waking up 🤣

There’s a business opportunity. Licensing the image might be $$$ though
funny how in races where I try to do this, I actually don't do as well. But on races where I don't do this, I do better 🤷♀
Neat that your parents got to play themselves (perfect casting!) and you didn’t even have to script their lines, just push record!
Yes. Completely candid
The realizations that come from you are more impactful than the realizations that come from my therapist.
Where do I send the invoice for my services? 🤣
The most difficult part pre-race is always to "move things along" ...
Whilst I appreciate the kissing of the shoes, a serious runner will also hug them and ask them to look after you while your out there (apparently)
Success on race day starts in the bathroom 🥳
lol i love the cameo from ur parents

This channel is an educational resource for runners and the people who have to put up with runners.
I just found your channel and love it! So many of the things you observe and point out is exactly what I do and am thinking!
Serious runners like us are not alone. --- also, how did you find the channel?
@@TheSeriousRunnerI found your channel because one of your videos (the one about going on a social run) popped up in my UA-cam feed.

Serious AirBnb
Amazing 😂
Seriously wholesome.
Omg!!!!!!!!!!!! 😳 made my morning
Can't wait for some serious runner Olympics videos🙏
I wonder which brand will step up and sponsor a trip for me to go 🤔
Coffee to “get things moving” is so old skool…. Apparently rice pudding and coke is the way ahead for pre race breakfast 🤪

@@Martha-fluterunner indeed, too much of a good thing 🤣🤣
as a serious runner, I value tradition... except when it comes to advancements in bouncy super shoes

I agree. "Race day is sacred".
My favorite sub-elite influencer
1:22 very impressive! Mission accomplished?? lol
yes, goal was sub 1:25. now was I sandbagging? who knows. that's for you to decide
At this point, I don't know how Ciele and Tracksmith feel about his use of their brands in these videos. 😆
If I ever hear from them, I’ll let you know
Not the BAA reference! 😆
I got into the Brooklyn Half with a lottery like a hobby jogger, if only i knew to keep my eyes out for serious runners like you😔
this was such a funny video 😅 😆
thank you! 🙏
always entertaining.
are they your real parents or Serious Runner approved stand-ins? 😆
They are seriously my parents
A serious runner makes sure his mom also wears cool races apparel (Pikes Peak) 😊
she was *not* coached to wear that 🤣
Was it you that left that "package" all over one of the corral porta potties??
Moving on to the next comment…
Best thumbnail ever
I 100% guess how fast someone is based on the shoes they are wearing
what about barefoot guy?
Aita for finding this video relatable AF?
Only unserious runners don’t have Kipchoge as their phone’s wallpaper. Anything else is a waste of pixels.
Who else would you want to see 400 times a day when you check your phone
@@TheSeriousRunner You, of course!
how does a serious runner not post their finish time?! (congrats btw)
Dear Serious Runner: can you help me race under 120 for the half marathon but at 6:40 minute miles?
So did you PR? 😁
Not this time. But qualified for NYC in 2025 (I think)
@@TheSeriousRunner Congrats! I saw that was one of your goals too. Keep up the great work👍
Looks like you did (M38 1:23), even ignoring that you could turn 40 by Nov 2025. Congrats!
Seriously my girlfriend gets 1 kiss before a race my shoes have no limitations.
Yeah, congratulations Stephen!🎉
Odd watch model for a serious runner... looks like something from April 1st
Most importantly: did you NYQ?
as far as i can tell, yes (the rules are written slightly unclear)
Wait...you weren't seriously racing a half with a fanny pack full of gu now were you?! (that's for hobby jogging ultra-trail runners!)
talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
Wait what? You record the race on your watch? That is extra grams you don't need. All in that search for a PR
How do you reconcile that with needing to post on Strava??
@@TheSeriousRunner You find someone else who ran the same time and have them include you as a running partner.
