Never ran in highschool, and only started running spring semester of college freshman year, when my ex girlfriend's dad got me into it 9 years ago. Been chasing a sub 3 since then.
How’s that process going?

Your resiliency towards injuries is truly inspiring, keep it up, intention over everything.
Super cool story! I went to college in Lynchburg so was shocked to hear you trained there.
great vid! you were so talented in middle school, thats crazy
Just listened to the running effect, I see the inspiration for the video!! The videos are incredible!!!
Bout to listen to the running effect episode. 2 greats combined, can’t go wrong 😊
Great story, big fan of yours and hope you stay mentally tough. You got this! I’m a freshman in college this year and I really hope to see you at some races at BU! Stay motivated
Uncle Mo' is watching over us both!!🙏🏼
Awesome vid as always. Keep it up!
Appreciate it!
This is the most wholesome story
Got into running whilst working in the outback and had nothing else to do, target was a sub 2 hour half marathon which I accomplished and now training for a 25km race in a month. Love the content, much love from a British backpacker in Gold Coast, Australia.
Great video! I would love to hear more about how your current injury and what you are doing to bounce back from it.
So I’m actually at the doc right now and I’ve been off of all activity for around 4 days. We are about to view my MRI results, but it’s most likely a stress fracture.
With that being said, I’m planning on working on my weaknesses and things that I don’t really like.
I want to get better at core, push ups, and pull ups, which I will probably start doing today. Then I’ll also be spending a lot of time in the pool keeping my cardiovascular health up until I’m able to get back to running in a few weeks.
Man I love your story. The way you told it kept me so interested and I loved all your summer vlogs. I'm a triathlete who just started xc this year as a junior and wanna run for college and you inspire me to keep grinding 💪
That’s awesome to hear. Appreciate the kind words 🤘🏽
Awesome journey! Would love to know more about your recovery processes, and the rehab stuff that you apply consistently to try to heal injuries! I'm currently recovering from an ankle injury, and have learned that we have to stay consistent with ankle strength/mobility even when we are not injured!
Honestly there’s not really a trick. Schedule out a time to do it every day and then just do it. That’s the best advice I can give.
Hey man, sorry to hear it’s a fracture, take it easy and come back stronger 💪💪💪
I know you’re dealing with the same thing. I’ll be back and you will too 🤘🏽
This is such a great video.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I am a freshman at university of lynchburg, I remeber Brennan straights talking about you guys coming here and training. I crashed an ATV at work about 2 weeks before college started and fratured my ankle and foot, and cut my leg wide open. Really struggling to find motivation but this video makes me fell like I'm not the only one going through it.
Brennan is a G! I Hate to hear about your accident, but have faith that God's got you. Take it one day at a time. If a day is too much, take it an hour at a time. We've all been at that low point, but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. One foot in front of the other
Hope your injury gets better. What shoes do you use and what would you recommend for someone who runs road and trail/ all terain with shin splints? Love your content btw good luck recovering
Hey bro, love your vids, may I ask what devices you use to record your vids ?😊
Hey, really inspired by the channel great videos! What type of injury are you dealing with and how are you able to build back so quickly for indoor?
I’ve got a stress fracture in my tibia. I’m taking the necessary time off of running and focusing on cross training by swimming and biking, which the doc said it good for me to do. By keeping my fitness up, even if it’s not quite the same, I have confidence that I’ll be back running in December which will set up up for 4-6 weeks of solid training before racing.
Loved the video. I’m wondering how long it takes to build momentum for seasons. I’m a junior in high school, and I’m on my 3rd injury in high school running, so I’ve never had time to build momentum, so my question is how do you build quick momentum for the next season?
Building momentum isn’t really a quick process. I would say that you should work on your weaknesses. If you’re getting injured a lot, you probably have muscular imbalances and need to do more strength work as well as improve your form. Start lifting weights with your training and work on correcting those imbalances. Then you’ll be set up to take small steps which over a period of time leads to big gains and breakthroughs
I really feel for you on being injured and losing out on these important races and on the season. My HS season also came to a an end as I’ve been dealing with iron deficiency and it’s really de motivating especially since it’s my senior year. Do you have any advice for fixing iron deficiency, have you dealt with it before? It’s been a reoccurring problem for me so I’d appreciate any advice someone may have!
So I’ve heard other runners say that sometimes taking an iron pill every day doesn’t help the issue. Red meats are usually the best source of iron that you can possibly get. Eating red meats 2-3 times a week and continuing to take an iron pill will probably fix your deficiency. Try to stay ahead of the curve with taking iron supplements, though. If you’re not in season, take them. If you’re in season, take them. Take some every day and you’ll be able to build that amount back up.
@@TheBrockKelly thanks for the response!
Great video, how did you get past the IT band issues? I’m new to running and am having trouble with knee pain from IT band.
So for ITB issues, I took time off of running and started stretching my hamstrings a lot and doing dry needling with a therapist. I continued to build strength in the weight room and started to work on my cadence. Up until this point, my cadence was around 165 for most runs, which put a lot of strain on my quads. That strain created the ITB issues, which put me out for the season when the muscle groups weren’t firing correctly. I worked to get my cadence up to 180 in workouts, 173-175 in medium and long runs, and 169-171 on easy days. This reduces the strain on the quads, but will add more tension to the calves. Get a metronome and set it to 180 and go out and try to run to that metronome. Get a feel for 180, which will be uncomfortable at first. But pretty soon, you’ll be running more efficiently with little pain in the IT band
You’ve been really inspirational for me lately, I wish I started XC before my Junior year in hs.
I might want to run in college for fun, but I feel as if I hit a barrier in my times. I’ve been stuck at about 20 minutes for 2 years, and I don’t know what to do differently. Any advise from a veteran in the sport?
Yeah! You gotta be willing to push yourself in the areas where you aren’t strong. If you hate doing long tempos, then do long tempos. If you hate fast long runs, do fast long runs. Build up your weaknesses and build consistency in that.
@@TheBrockKellythank you! Good luck the rest of the season and for track
"15:29 on a short course, we don't count that." Haha I still tell everyone about my 15:20 5K in Pontotoc! Keep up the good work bro! Miss the high school days, man!
Hahaha, the good ole days. Hope you’re doing well, bro!
@@TheBrockKelly Yezzir! Hope you are also doing well! Congrats on the UA-cam success 😃
any tips for a freshman hs runner running 19:08 in the 5k?
I didn’t realize I was at a similar progression (HS junior low-high 16s) to you. I’m really wanting to step up this offseason for track to commit to college. Any specific advice you would tell yourself as a junior in highschool when it comes to training for track?
So my junior year, one of the biggest breakthroughs that I had was building up consistency in the offseason and then racing a half marathon in January before outdoor. During that HM, something clicked mentally and I decided I was going to go for broke. I ran 1:14:50 and proved to myself that I was in incredible shape, which gave me a lot of confidence in the season itself. Not to mention the benefits of a hard stimulus like that.
So what I’d recommend is that you go into the training block after XC and build up your mileage a little bit. Train like you’re getting ready for a Half Marathon and then maybe even sign up for one. Use this race to push yourself and push your limits and truly see where you stand mentally and physically.
During those training blocks, I’d usually do Long Runs on Sunday, easy on Monday, threshold miles or threshold kilometers on Tuesdays, medium distance run on Wednesday, and then a shorter speed session on Friday. That type of training cycle worked for me and helped me build up confidence that year
Was being the best on your cross country team hard in high school?
Any tips for overcoming injury? I’m an 8th grader and I got hurt at the begging of this season but I want to hopefully make a comeback and break 18:00 in the 5k
So there are a lot of things you can do. Depends on the type of injury. You can lift weights (start off with some good body weight exercises and gradually move into adding weights), you can do physical therapy on the muscle, and you can add stretching into your nightly routine.
The best thing you can do when you have down time is to find your weaknesses and really work on making those better. If you’re bad at core, do core. If you have weak glutes, work on those. If you have 0 upper body, get better at push ups and pull ups and rows.
As you build back into training, build consistency. Consistency is the key in running. Sooner or later you’ll have confidence because of the consistency which will lead to a breakout performance and allow you to take a massive step forward
@@TheBrockKelly thanks for the advice!

Plans/goals for indoor/outdoor?
Recover from the stress fracture, build up training for 4 weeks, and then race indoors.
Brock I can confirm that pontotoc is now a full 5k.
Good to know hahaha
Bro is capitalizing on new exposure
