@@musclelessfitness2045me too, bro. He has natural speed and has finally started being able to do more mileage without injury. Hoping we're going to see growth on the roads
@steventownley3342 We all know Spence is a great runner. We're just saying that he might shine more in the half to full marathon range. He even said it himself. He has never competed over 10k before, so seeing these results is encouraging, to say the least.
Very solid performance Spencer for the first race in your life over 10K. Good sign that you ran your fastest split - 4:53 - on the last mile. Means you have excellent potential to extend your average pace for a half and probably more as you progress in your training.
It blows my mind with 2 miles to go you said it wasn't feeling too bad but your heartrate was in the mid-190s. I would have been dying if not dead at that HR haha
First time viewer of your content. It was really interesting to hear you talk about the race and your abilities. For someone obviously so fast and talented, I was surprised how uncertain you were about the start, pacing, hydration, etc. FWIW the Boston Marathon is this x100(?). 26.2 of nonstop fan support. We live on the course and it’s the biggest day of the year for me. Personally, being at the race and cheering and supporting the runners, elite, qualifiers, and fund raisers is my #1 day to have off and free. I hope to cheer you on at it one day! Cheers
Love this race!!! I ran it 3 times from 2014-2016. Was watching this to see if Spencer would beat my best time and he just got me by 2 seconds. Get after it Spencer, rooting for you
Been hyped to see this video after seeing the live stream. What a confidence boost that must of been. Stoked for the next race and to see you start out a little more aggressive 👊
Love following your and Allie's content. When you said you were on the Cape but it was a 90 min drive to Falmouth, I knew I had to check your Strava -- sure enough, you were in Truro! We've got a place there too, so looking forward to trying out some of the routes you have run - the one around the ponds looks awesome!
I watched the Falmouth Live Stream. It was pretty lame because they showed the start and the finish, but nothing in between. I saw you talking with some of the elite guys just prior to the start and because of that, I assumed you started with the elites. On the live stream they had the clock going for the 31 and 32 minute guys then the clock disappeared. So at 32:00 I started my own watch on replay and rewatched for you to come in. You crossed the line on the feed at 3:46 which gives you a 35:46 according to my "calculations". However, this is the exact time you reported. I'm thinking that since you started a little behind the "elites", you actually clocked a 31:41. But either way, this was a great showing for you and YES you are an elite runner. I'm confident in next year's edition, you'll be in the elite field. Thanks for giving the viewer what the middle parts of the 7 mile course looked like.
Glad you enjoyed Falmouth. I grew up Falmouth and first ran the race in 1975. I have lost count of how many times I have run it, but I know every step of that course.
My no spoiler prediction for 7 miles will be sub 36 minutes. 35:45 Edit: Eyy lets goo! 35:46 is incredible dude! I just did a 5k yesterday and ran 19:09, my fastest ever 5k so far, and it's only the beginning so I'm really excited to see what I can run at the end of the season. Congrats on your race man, and continue the good videos, I can't wait to see what you have in store in the future!
Great performance. Those first two miles are pretty slow because of the hills, especially if you're not familiar with it, so you did really well. It was definitely humid, but it was about as nice weather as you can get for Falmouth! Usually you're just baking in the sun the whole time
very true, half marathon and marathons are way different ball game, you can rawdog a 10k 20 minutes after waking up having not eaten anything but try that even for a half marathon and you're done
Hadn't heard of this race before my coach ran it last weekend (she finished 10th) - looks like a really fun course though. The course profile definitely shows this course has more challenge than most road races - certainly the majority of 10k races here in the UK are on reasonably flat routes. Shame the broadcast coverage was a static shot of the start and then finish rather than following the runners on course. That was a great result - with the experience and course knowledge you'll be able to pace the race better next year!
Oh my gosh, please! 🙏. I just ran it for the second time, this year and last year, and the energy is unlike anything else. It’s so much fun just to run and see everything even more so than to race.
Hey how long r u gonna be in New England for bc I’m from mass and I would love to come see u race! Is there somewhere that u announce wut races u r doing before u do them?
Couple yrs ago,b4 he did the series of his dad training him, ive said this man would be better on the roads than the track. Its good to see him in his 1st real road race and doing very well. He should def jump into some NYRR races(Abbott Dash to Finish Line,NYC Half,Brooklyn Half),he'll get top competition plus great crowds
Spencer, I think you might have some real talent in the longer distances. Keep up the good work!
I've been suggesting that for the past 2-3 years. Thank god he's finally done with track.
I’m starting to think this guy has some talent for running in general
@@musclelessfitness2045me too, bro. He has natural speed and has finally started being able to do more mileage without injury. Hoping we're going to see growth on the roads
Love these comments he was on a pro team with josh kerr post college .Spencer must be good at running to get on brooks beast team

The way you cut that race down and finished in 4:53 was 🔥
The lad be fast @TheFODRunner 🚀

Congrats on 100k Spence, love to see you continuing your journey!
I like this longer distance runs! Keep it going! More videos!

That dudes right leg is kicking way tf out 😂 looks goofy AF.
I was heading to the comments to see if anyone else saw 😂
He's homosexual. Don't be a bigot.
Dude is gonna have knee issues running like that.
Shut up.
Super good Boston runner who doesn’t really get injured. Somehow his foot strike is neutral and I guess it works!?
Been hyped to see this video after seeing the live stream. What a confidence boost that must of been. Stoked for the next race and to see you start out a little more aggressive 👊
The Rail Trail is a great place to train, love biking there

Good job Spencer - keep healthy and enjoy the longer distances experience!
One day I hope to be a great runner like you your amazing inspiration
Congrats, that was a brilliant time! I enjoy seeing all the stats on-screen too =D
Great race and I like how you condense everything down so it's not a 30 min video.
saying that you dont feel that bad with more than 2 miles left and a 195 HR is crazy
I was there! Much further back though, had no issues with being alone 🙂Greetings from Slovakia!
Fantastic!
Congratulations
So proud of you
YESIRRRR the local legend finally joins THE Alphafly GANGGGGG!!!!!!

This was a really cool video. Cool seeing the perspective of elite racers! Makes me want to go out there and race 🏃

Great job Spencer. It is amazing to see how much progress you have made in the last few months.

cape cod rail trail! I live on the cape :) glad you got to experience the beauty!!! great race! keep it up!
Great pace and beautiful course! Congratulations! 🎉
I look forward to see next year's elite race!! Great job. Maybe this could be your peak event next year.
Hi, noticed your HR escalates to 180 plus almost immediately after the start, amazing that you held it throughout and didn't blow up.
Well done
BEST video so far and display was sic!!! 😍
Good job!
Of course you have to hydrate ... especially for your half marathon. Not just water, but some drink with carbs.
very true, half marathon and marathons are way different ball game, you can rawdog a 10k 20 minutes after waking up having not eaten anything but try that even for a half marathon and you're done
You NEED to come run the Bix 7 in Davenport next year. End of July every year. Have great proffesional presence!
What an Event! Crazy speed from so many athetes. hope to race this some day!
Hope to share the course with you next year!

What a cool race & nice work.
Great work! Awesome video also.
It was cool to see my daughter in your video. She was handing out water between mile 3 and 4.
Lovin' the podcast!
You and Allie should head out to Iowa for the Bix 7 next summer, more hills but an insane crowd
Oh my gosh, please! 🙏. I just ran it for the second time, this year and last year, and the energy is unlike anything else. It’s so much fun just to run and see everything even more so than to race.
Awesome race dude
Miles.... 7 mile= just more than 11.2km. Not a bad time at all. Well done!
Dude come to Kenosha, Wisconsin next May and do the half marathon at the Wisconsin Marathon. It's an awesome run.
great run Spencer gotta be careful with the half that feeling of hitting 10 miles and knowing you still have 3 to run is unrivaled.
you'd love the boilermaker race in Utica spencer
Cape Cod is one of my favorite places to run.
ANOTHER ATHLETE SPECIAL VIDEO! Lets goo!!
Nice! 👏🏻
Nice. Also kinda off topic but Jakob Ingebrigtsen is a beast
Zip it when you're finished.
@@supremeleader9872I mean bro did just break the 3k wr.
But bro is cocky 😭
@@BigBallaGreen Why wouldn't he be? He's the best of all-time. Whereas, you're just a nobody.
Bro you gotta do the daily glizzy ride don’t you?
@@LynnEdwards-sl7jd Yea. I’m aware. Are you a nobody?
excellent race.. keep it going
If you’re looking for another super fun and packed race give the Peachtree 10k a shot in Atlanta GA. It’s hot and humid as hell but very fun!
I believe Beach2Beacon can be more competitive depending on the year. I’ve seen some crazy fields at Cape Elizabeth
the haters on letsrun are in shambles
Awesome! You really should try some longer races. You look to be a natural distance runner.
amazing footage!!
Yes more road races n long run vids
Hey how long r u gonna be in New England for bc I’m from mass and I would love to come see u race! Is there somewhere that u announce wut races u r doing before u do them?
100K Let’s GOOOOOO
Come to the quad cities next July and run the Bix 7 miler
Awesome
Way to close Spence! Hugei indicator that you're ready to smash that Half!
New sub. Havent event watched a video yet. But I'm from Mass and newly into running. LFG! Lol
You should do the boilermaker 15k next year! Super fun event with great crowds
Registration for the fall version of this race opened today
Dude I was in cape cod about 3 weeks ago and I ran on the same bike trail!!!
bro says "5:09" first mile kinda slow like what what a god
Damn I was vacationing on the Cape last week. Even ran the Rail Trail. Would have been great to meet up and share some miles with you.
Awesome!
Just wait until you run a major marathon if you think those crowds are big. Boston, Chicago, NY will stun you!
So which shoe is better. your previous Vaporfly 2 or the new AF3?
8:30 what is going on with buddy boys form? his right leg pinging off to the side, his hips switching, it looks painful but whatever works i guess!
the hat footage is dope
Great job! Is breaking 33 mins possible for you?
Amazing vid, I was wondering, where did you get your activation rope, I want one but do t know where and how to get one
Cooper River Bridge Run 10k (South Carolina).... Top 11 (Sub 29) Race capped at 40,000 people
Thanks for the video. Can distance and pace in km be added for the europeans in the future?
What was your time Spencer what clubs were there
awesome sauce
195bpm! Unreal
what’s up with the really high heart ratr
Nice take on the insta360 you should've been able to get at least 40 mins I think
this was epic
High heartrate gang
How can you maintain your HR at 190+ bpm for so long?
let's go spencer
What do you think about Jakob's 7:17 3k wr? Do you think such an insane time can be run clean?
I think he is clean
TBH, I take every performance at the professional level with a grain of salt. 🤔
Sheesh 190BPM Cook Spence!
nice!
How many year it take to run sub 18 5k right now 21 5k
i dont know many people that "dont feel too bad " at 195 bpm
Cool
My friend ran this too
❤❤from🇮🇳

Create course. Good job.
W vids
For 7 miles I wouldn't bother with water, even if its hot.
