Depends on where they're from, are they from Florida or Michigan? I'd say the Michigan athlete would fare better, and I would say 20 degrees F would be the lowest temp.
@@gabequinn9796 I think way colder. People adapted to really cold temperatures could run only slightly slower in 20 degree weather as ideal weather (60-70 most likely, depending on who you ask). Jakob is from Norway where it gets to the negatives and he's run 3:47 and could probably go 3:45 at least given his 3:28 1500 PR. Even with just the 3:47, it would take REALLY cold temperatures to slow him down by 12 whole seconds, probably well under 0 like -10 if I'm being honest until he can't break 4 haha
when I saw the title then saw the 17 minute duration I thought "that's a lot of coverage on not wearing spikes" but glad there were more topics covered. Interesting to hear the penchant for junk food as well. While I was never the caliber of a Clayton Murphy I was a decent 800m runner and found when I trained distance off season especially I would crave (and indulge) in junk food.
I’m a high school runner and I think it would be very cool to get a explanation of your warm up. You show parts of it in your workout videos and I’d love to know what you are doing and it’s benefits. Thank you!
@@ClaytonMurphy800 Thank you! My high school completely neglects stretching and form based exercises. We’ll do high knees and butt kick but that’s about it 😂
I sprinted in the Nike Ja for years, but then picked up a pair of the cheap Nike Zoom Rivals just for training. Over time, they became extremely comfortable--so much so that I eventually just started using them at meets. This past spring, I dropped some solid 100m times at 38-years old in cold WI weather (11.07, 11.09, 11.13). I can't see myself buying spikes for over $100 ever again.
I am curious about the maxfly as a potential middle distance shoe. I have both the Dragonfly and new Victory and while I like both, I feel that the dragonfly works better for my foot. The maxfly looks like the victory with some interesting changes, so it’d be cool to see how it compares.
@@benanastasoff8980 for mid distance, I’ve only worn the New Balance md800 and the Victory. So not too much experience with a variety of spikes. But between the Maxfly and the Victory, I enjoy having a bit more cushion that the Maxfly offers. They also are not as narrow as the Victory’s. They are a bit heavier, not majorly noticeable during a race but it’s there. For me with the mid distance spikes I’ve worn they all have felt like there isn’t enough shoe and they are too minimal. Another thing I like is the stiffness they offer because of the full plate. Coming from a sprint background I enjoy and prefer a stiff spike plate more. Hopefully that somewhat makes sense and is understandable.
@@bennettf4538 yeah, thanks a lot for the comparison. I’m a distance runner, but a stiff shoe feels way better for my gait. I tend to bounce off of each stride, so the ridged plate feels great to me
I own all 3 (dragonfly, air zoom victory’s, and maxflys) and I love the dragonfly’s over the other two, especially for indoor, but the victory is pretty nice for outdoor mid d races (the 1500m). But the for the Maxflys, I’ve ran multiple 400s in them and an 800. It feels amazing for both honesty. You really don’t feel the speed of the spike until 300m. They have a surprising amount of comfort and are very aggressive for the 800. Definitely would try
I work with one of your former Akron teammates now and it's cool to see how both you and him are super down-to-earth guys. Shame that program went out the way it did.
Okay I couldn’t help but notice. I see that you run on your toes/forefoot quite a lot; which can really help in the 800m. Is there anything you have done for footing to be more aggressive in those shorter distances?
I have always run on my toes! Ever since I was in high school. I would say you can 100% improve your form to become efficient, make sure you don’t overdue. Can easily get hurt by making drastic form changes
Also whatever works for you, some peoples gates are different. But either way when you’re running fast enough you will automatically go on your toes without thinking
When I was runner I learned that not all spike's work for me. Today we have the same problem, the great difference, "today the spike's has catapult effect and suspension to increase dramatically the performance. I remember a couple of year ago Adidas did and experiment where gave old technology shoes in Athletics, football, etc to contemporary sportsman's the performance were so poor. For example Sprinter's of 9.90 and 9.75 can't run bellow of 10.20 and so on other distance.
How do you mentally get ready for a race and not get nervous? Also, during the race how do you not try to think about running against your competition and think about running your own race even if you may be behind?
Do more side view running videos. Your form is impeccable and different although you run like you just got off a horse or have a really big horse ****"
Have you ever had issues with tendonitis with your achilles? I see you run very much on your toes and am just curious. I've personally developed tendonitis, and didn't know if you haf any tips
I have a question, I run the 400m-3200m and am looking to buy some mid tier spikes. I know you might be a little biased but would suggest for me that I go with the Mamba V or the Nike Spike Flat, I'm seeing good things about the spike flat and it is around $25 cheaper
@@JalenTanner I actually bought the mamba because I think it'd be aggressive enough for the shorter stuff but also suited towards the 3200m since it was meant for the 3k steeple chase
Just wear what the folks wore in the earlier years of Olympic racing. They ran freakingly fast with litteraly tire made soles and metal spikes, and a decently made leather upper. I wonder how today's modern runners would finish if they had those shoes from earlier made spikes.

Dude…the snow question I talked myself into running like sub 6 without any sort of good reasoning 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
What is the coldest you think someone could run sub 4:00 in? Perfect traction with spikes on the track but brutally cold.
Depends on where they're from, are they from Florida or Michigan? I'd say the Michigan athlete would fare better, and I would say 20 degrees F would be the lowest temp.

Great advice. Choose the spike that fits you.
Someone tell this man he is definitely an 800m runner lol

I enjoyed your video. Nice to get to know the person beyond what you see on TV. NEO is a great place to train, good luck!
Thanks for your genuine thoughts, Clayton. I’m a new subscriber 😌👌
This editing is really good
Great video! I would love to see videos about diet as well as lifting routines
Either sit downs with other runners/friends or commentating on old races

Clayton Murphy is one of the coolest athletes! Ice in his veins and a nice guy.
I’ve ran in snow and if you wear spikes you’ll run only about 30 seconds-1:00 slower. Without spikes probably 2:00
Okay I couldn’t help but notice. I see that you run on your toes/forefoot quite a lot; which can really help in the 800m. Is there anything you have done for footing to be more aggressive in those shorter distances?
it's just individual biomechanics, if you don't think it's directly detrimental to your running then probably don't try to change it

What were your high school times like?
What events did you run in your younger years aka middle and high school?
How do you mentally get ready for a race and not get nervous? Also, during the race how do you not try to think about running against your competition and think about running your own race even if you may be behind?
Less mile training and more 400m training mixed in. Have you thought about it? I think speed will take you to the next level
Any advice for spikes for wider feet?
I noticed you had them on in your recent race video, change of heart?
I'd like to know what happened in the Millrose mile...a 4:05 is not you. Did it have anything to do with the wrap you had on your knee?
Do more side view running videos. Your form is impeccable and different although you run like you just got off a horse or have a really big horse ****"
Do you use coros watch or garmin ?
Mayfly is a super spike.
Have you ever had issues with tendonitis with your achilles? I see you run very much on your toes and am just curious. I've personally developed tendonitis, and didn't know if you haf any tips
your running action reminds me of steve cram. You should move up to 1500m and give that red hot go
I've never even heard of super spikes
Sub six in 8 inches of snow isn't that bad if you run an entire winter in 3 feet of snow.
Cap. Dude just wore Maxfly’s in Puerto Rico
What was your training like in high school? How has this progressed throughout the years?
gute frage, ich stimme zu
