What your father is offering you and us is a very straight and sensible evaluation of the current situation again. Autumn and Winter are usually the periods to improve mileage, to do strength and stability work and to bust up your oxygen uptake level (what your father describes as strength orientated mile repeats). These are not the workouts that make you faster on your next mile competition, but they improve the basic qualities you need before doing the specific workouts to prepare for a real fast mile.
Confidence looks like it’s back bro. You got this, you don’t need a club to define your running career. Running is a lifetime endeavor. As always great stuff my man
Gotta say, Dad's got many good coach qualities - clear expectations based on outcomes, no histrionics, mindful of not overstressing the athlete....good stuff.
Resistance band work is legit, I had some Achilles issues during my junior year of college and did a ton of resistance band work and ankle mobility and it helped so much to just build up supporting strength to help heal.
Your dad is great. You have a very nice family Spencer.. you are blessed. I like the plan your dad has for you and look forward to seeing you carry it out. Thanks for the update.
I would love to know what you're doing with the bands for your ankle, I have suffered with a lot of lower leg injuries and tried many different things. Loving the recent uploads. Keep Grinding.
Hey Spence, pro cooking tip: You can add collagen to your food to make it thicken up. If you have a sauce or something in your meal you can add collagen to make it thicker. Just shooting out the idea that you might wanna incorporate some type of meal that you can add collagen into so that you won't have to taste it.
Wow I think this video was just meant to be. Today was the first day that I had to run on a treadmill in months and I was really unmotivated and I was actually considering skipping a day of training. However, I saw this video you posted and it just gave me the motivation that I need to get through the run. Thank you so much
I went and rewatched your sub4 story. Great UA-cam storytelling. In your early years of high school you took a couple months off of running and did the swim team. Swimming builds a great aerobic base while giving your running structure and systems a chance for rest and recovery. So my 2 cents, because it's UA-cam comments and everybody gets to put in 2 cents. I wonder if your limitations with the Beasts training was due to their different approach to aerobic cross training. With your injury history lowering the overall running mileage seems like a good idea, which is probably why your dad isn't pressing mileage despite being a marathoner (and therefore a mileage guy). But the limiting factor in the end of race kick and overall times is aerobic. You are fast enough to win a lot of races at the middle distance level but you've recently had a bad split (often the 3rd lap or 4th) which suggests a need for more aerobic strength.
Stay at home and train with your Dad. You guys are a great duo and being back to basics is working well for you. I don't run on the treadmill that much anymore but I do like it for some things. I love doing treadmill hill workouts.
Mix the collagen (assuming it is unflavored) with BCAAs or a red super foods type of supplement. It makes it much more enjoyable, plus you get the added benefits of the other supplements.
i agrre with what you say about treadmill workouts. never used to use them but now my aging body apreciates the softer, even surface. i now do one hard session a week on the 'mill. Re. what your dad said in the last post about your overall mileage. Seb Coe's coach (coincidentally also his father) kept his mileage low by the standards of the 1970s and '80s when 100+ mile weeks were standard even for milers but said that the key was lots of sessions at 5K pace and a lot of heavy weight work in the gym.
Since its your ;last ride, if you ever put in some volume according coach. Hope you give Flagstaff a shot and show some of the awesome training video in Northern AZ. Hope you stay injury free and healthy during this run. All the best Spencer
In the front on shots 6:25 onwards looks like your right side rotates backwards more than your left - suggests some sort of imbalance or tightness/overcompensation?
I do ankle exercises that look a lot like what you were doing from that short clip and I 100% feel the same way probably the single most beneficial strengthening thing I do
That’s incredible. You ran twice as fast as I did. Is that your aerobic threshold or you above that the whole run? Does it turn it on anaerobic if you bpm is above aerobic power.
Can you plug your Apple Music ID for us? Excited for you Spencer! Have a lot of Grit and think you have alot of competitiveness left to give to the sport :)
Great video, Spencer! You’re comeback has really been inspirational for me. In high school, I struggled to string together good races, but now finally in college I’m starting to put it together. I recently broke through and ran 25:21 for 8k and made a video about it. It would really mean a lot if anyone reading this could check it out!
Good confidence although I will say, these workouts and runs are a little surprising. I wonder what the thought process is or if the injury was really recent because there is and will allways be a huge pool of guys consistently putting in way more work than this. Especially at this level. You don't have much go lose so just have fun and go for it.
Honestly it looks very standard, there isn’t too much “working harder” than everyone else in running His workouts look like what the Enclave used to do in the 90s and they did fine, he has the talent running 3:39 off what he did at Georgetown, all he has to do is stay healthy and the results will come
@@capn_sauce2333 The man in your profile pic would say otherwise. If you look at the Prefontaine training schedule it was pretty gritty and pre wasn't the one complaining, it was everyone else
You worry too much about pace. Just run and put in the effort. The result will come. I think you should let your dad worry about your pace and you just focus on the “doing”
I enjoy these vids back in Connecticut way more than the brooks videos for some reason. Maybe it’s the authenticity
I love how he's getting back to the more og videos
Omg same I used to love his videos but ever since he started training with the beasts the videos didn't seem as authentic
@@andrewradtke3370 I would agree. Plus he didn't post as much as he did while he was in college
@@andrewradtke3370 yeah I agree bud these videos are way better
Every time your dad talks about your training he is on point. Keep it up, I see nothing but positives for you right now.
the dadthlete special
Honestly, I missed these blue collar Athlete special vids
This is nostalgic af

I call the treadmill “the mill” as well
Real ones call it the tready

The relationship you have with your dad is awesome. He reminds me of my dad a lot. Keep up the great work Spencer, love these videos
I love Spencer's dad! Can you tell us more about your ankle mobility exercises
Resistance band work is legit, I had some Achilles issues during my junior year of college and did a ton of resistance band work and ankle mobility and it helped so much to just build up supporting strength to help heal.
Love treadmill work... no variables and no excuses...
ALL my hard/fast miles were done on a treadmill.
I'm loving the consistency of videos again
The Mill - is where we grind 💪
I call it the “dreadmill”
I met Spencer at the Boston Invitational in 2020. Great guy, and so glad to see these videos again. I missed it.
omg the return of cameraman larkin we're really goin alllll the way back
super excited for the recovery video!
Your dad is great. You have a very nice family Spencer.. you are blessed. I like the plan your dad has for you and look forward to seeing you carry it out. Thanks for the update.

Keep grinding Spence, we’re all behind you. Your looking great

It is the mill. It is only the mill. It has always been the mill.
It’s always a good day when an Athlete Special Video comes out

Back to your roots! Great footage and fun video to watch. I'm impressed as always with Coach Dadlete's insightful comments
It was nice to see Larkin again.....Jogmill

Bruh these vids are so wholesome. Love it keep grinding this looks like you’re on the right path. 💪

these CT videos give off season 1-5 vibes and I love it
Dad knows best
I wish I could double thumb up these videos, great to see you rolling with your Dad again Spence.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen probably says "mølla" (most Norwegians abbriviate it) which translated to English is "the mill".
Great work Spencer!! I want to actually do a marathon on my treadmill sometime just for fun;)
Since its your ;last ride, if you ever put in some volume according coach. Hope you give Flagstaff a shot and show some of the awesome training video in Northern AZ. Hope you stay injury free and healthy during this run. All the best Spencer
Saran Wrap works really good for getting lids off jars if you’re a wimp like me. Better to look smart than weak :)
I read a study which Said that you reduce the risk of basically every lower limb and knew injury by increasing the range of movement of dorsiflexion
Mo Farrah is a treadmill advocate, so it must work!!
Ah, a big glass of collagen water. The most important meal of the day
Who tf where’s a T-shirt on a treadmill that’s suicidal. Also headphones must feel horrible why not use a speaker. Great video though!
Gotta acclimate those ears!
The Dreadmill
I call it “the mill” 👍🏾:)

Happy to see you doing so well 😀
under 8 for 3km bigggggg news from KEITH!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoy this videos from home.
Nice work at the mill. Your dads great
"Treddy"

Thanks For The Motivation!
I love the intro!!! 😂😂😂
W. Spencer’s gonna murder a sub 8 3k.
Enjoy every mile!
Interested in seeing the ankle stretching video.
Quality mate 👌
Seems like vertical isolation is off charts here
You should by a tib bar for ur lower leg strengthening
Dreadmill
That’s incredible. You ran twice as fast as I did. Is that your aerobic threshold or you above that the whole run? Does it turn it on anaerobic if you bpm is above aerobic power.
I miss your Nike Structures slapping that treadmill
just a solid day on th e mill

I call the treadmill mommy running outside is daddy
You should buy one or two big-ass fans, or AC to that basement. It's a must for indoor cycling training, which is also true for the treadmill.
I notice your thigh and upper body increase more strong muscle nice work Spencer
Slow your easy runs down. Add in some threshold intervals like the Ingebrigtsens. Good luck!
Let’s go again
Can you plug your Apple Music ID for us?
Excited for you Spencer! Have a lot of Grit and think you have alot of competitiveness left to give to the sport :)
I'm going to be back in CT for Thanksgiving, and a 5-miler seems like a challenging road race. Which one are you planning on running?
Dreadmill or, treadmilling
I call my treadmill Steve.

I call it the dreadmill. I like the constant pacing of it but it jacks up my hips for like 36 hours
Dude, why not use the collagen shots? Straight down in one.
Imagine not being a Spencer Brown fan…
