I'M QUITTING RUNNING (Click Bait)

- ooof tough day out there on the course last week. Just wanted to take some time to thank everyone who has reached out with the nice words and comments. Had a lot of time to reflect and feeling ready to hit this next marathon coming up. Last week I traveled to NYC and raced at Rockland State Park at the Mckirdy Micro Marathon. It was such a well put on marathon with perfect conditions.
NEXT STOP CIM. I will be returning to where I ran my very first marathon. The focus is going to be on executing the marathon as best as I can!

I like how everyone can be on different levels but everyone goes through the same things like the lows and highs
I’m sorry you didn’t feel good, every great runner has bad races. The next marathon will be yours as long as you believe it, keep up the great work!
You can’t quit . Your my hero man
What are your prs?
When I saw u uploaded I got hyped, got halfway through the title and got sad, got through the other half and got happy again
We're all behind you Adam!
Im 23 and have been competing in road races ever since i finished running in college, ive had a lot of moments like the one you have had here, just gotta keep going man! Youre a really great runner and i wish i was a good as you! Keep up the good work! I like that you are so passionate about running, makes me feel like im not the only one haha
It always stinks to not race well but it seems like you have a good attitude about it. I definitely have found lately that overtraining is much easier than I thought. Making sure you feel fresh as often as possible has helped me a lot lately. I’m in my first marathon build but I split a 10k PR in a 10 miler in my first race of the build (32:41->32:30 and ran 53:05) while working an engineering job 40 hours a week. I’m not training nearly as hard as I did in college the last few years but I’m in way better shape. Sometimes taking a step back to absorb training can make a big difference.
You got this man💪🏾you’re seriously my inspiration and I look up to you
I had one of the worst races that I've ever ran today. Went from an 18:44 this season to a 19:52 my body just couldn't do it and I ended up running 2nd to last at my final race at regionals. We all have bad races and it extremely important to not let that shit bring you down if you keep running and keep training your body will do things that you could have never thought possible. STICK WITH IT BOYS NEVER GIVE IN💪
Thank you for sharing this part of your story! I love watching your videos, and I think it shows real mental toughness and maturity to be able to talk about failure.
Hey Adam,
I’m so sorry that the race didn’t work out man. That’s so tough to have so many months of prep for it.
But I wish you the best and know you’re going to kill it and get after it on the next one. Just want to say thank you for sharing this content, as someone that never really did any distance running before watching your content has been an inspiration to get into it!
Adam it’s ok as long as you love what you do keep doing it. In my first Cross Country race this year my whole team got disqualified because we went the wrong way. Not every race is your best just keep going don’t look back.
You motivate me brother. Thanks for sharing your journey. So real. 🔥💪🏽✊🏽🙏🏽
Honestly the hardest thing I have struggled with the past track season and this xc season is working really hard and feeling like all that work was for nothing, thanks for being so vulnerable and maybe consider taking a break from social media so theres less pressure.
You're doing SO great!!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us all!
Very well-said! I am gonna play that last bit for the high school kids I coach. I'm sorry your last two attempts didn't go better, but I was excited when you said you would be racing CIM again. I will see you there.
Adam, your videos have changed my racing mentality. I had a collegiate cross country race today, and it was so hard. But I remembered everything you’ve said; everything you’ve said about how amazing it is to be a runner. For the first time in my life while racing, I smiled. I smiled and surged as fast as I could. I didn’t PR, but I kept up with the group I wanted to stay with. Thanks so much for every video and advice you send. You made running fun for me again. I can’t wait to start training for marathons once I finish my collegiate running career.
Great attitude! The motivation to keep showing up is so hard to find when you're not getting results you want and know you're capable of. The work ethic is there to keep applying yourself, figuring out that balance seems like it might be the key.
Adam - thanks for being open and inspiring. Your mentality is super mature and perception is power. Be consistently good, rather than occasionally great. Good luck at CIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoy your videos and admire you sharing your bad races too! Many people don’t, even though we all have them, and the more people do, the more it normalizes them. At the end of the day, I feel like the best runners are the ones that just keep in showing up consistently. Good luck at CIM!
Love the content! I think that your mentality change will be very helpful. Usually focusing at the task at hand rather than the result itself is the best way to improve💪
Love your content my guy, didn't hit my goal for my last Marathon so this video fired me up for next attempt
After all that training it really takes a lot of strenght to drop out. I get it, I did it also. This is part of growing and evolving as human and athlete. Big support, love your content and i wish you all the best with your goals. ❤
New viewer of your content and a fellow runner albeit a lot older and slower. Something I've came to the conclusion of this year after a few races is that racing is a mindf*ck. Just continue to stack those bricks and something well happen. Keep at it.
Thanks for sharing Adam, keep pushing forward, you will do great things!
I know the feeling I’ve dropped out and heck we had state xc today and our champion runner who was supposed to win and be a four time state champ collapsed twice and thanks to the runner who helped her up and yes she finished in 16 one away from placing it was heartbreaking and it caused our team third instead of first seeing her disappointed was one of the hardest things. The race today was hot and hilly five people dropped out, SEVERAL collapsed, and many passed out at the end, props to all you runners your the Strongest even if you didn’t finish, running has made you a better you!!❤
Just had a week of no training after a perfect discipline for three months then my first training back today was a horrific one week out of my goal race. And my goal race is now a hilly trail because I had to drop of my flat road race due to travel… I will not PB… I am not even sure I will finish and for a minute I was tempted to tell people that I didn’t even go to the race to avoid the embarrassment. But I will go, do my best, lick my wounds, and start a new block for a proper road race.
I like your new plan ❤
We got you. You’re the Best! 🎉
Please don’t quit you are my motivation to keep puttin in the grind I love u so much you got this
Atta boy Adam! Keep up the good work bro, you’re an inspiration!
Our body’s and minds go through cycles. Highs and lows. It’s natural for you to not feel at the top of your game 100% of the time. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this experience publicly with us. I know you’ll be back, better than ever. Much love.
I have mad respect for you chasing your dreams. I hope you get an OTQ on the next one, but if not you should finish it regardless of your time so you’ve got another 26.2 under your belt.
Adam as long as you love what you do keep at it I’m behind you all the way you’re little brother Seth
Love your videos and the insights! It takes a lot of maturity and trust in yourself to know when to call it. You already named the things you want to improve. Good luck and keep the updates coming!
One bit of feedback on your videos, the sound levels are quite different from sequence to sequence. Some of that is your edit, some of it is the recording. For the edits, did your normalize your voice levels across sequences? For the mic recording: I do really like your gestures when talking to the camera. Maybe fix the lavalier, and hold a pen instead?
I appreciate you sharing your negative experiences. It allows us to realise that it is okay to not feel the best, or have things go south.
9:17 Such a gem! Enjoy the process! "That's how the breakthroughs are made!" ❤
Head up, chin up 💪🏾🔥
You got this bud.
Keep going Adam!
Keep it up!! I feel like you wasn’t there mentally there seeing your body language before the race those few days. It seemed like you were anxious. That could have created the domino effect for you. You’re an inspiration, you should always focus on each race with an “A,” “B,” & “C” goal (usually C being just finish the race). Stay motivated and focused you got this.
What are the a b c ‘s?
Remember Never back down never what!! I know you work so hard training but like you said have fun running ; )
Good luck at CIM Adam!
Keep on Grinding Adam you eventually get there
We support you Adam!
YES SO EXCITED FOR CIM AHHHH
This guy is so inspiring
It happens man. Head up, Let’s roll at CIM!
Nice job with the honesty and accountability
Time to stop the social media and fully focus on the training. Not completing a race since last year is concerning, wish you all the best and hope you get it all figured out.
Lets get it big dawg!!!
I know what it it’s! You train too hard and need to smile more. You are a champion.
Love you bro
Never quit ❤
Bro I really hope you’re gonna make it, but to be honest I think you might be putting too much pressure on yourself. I could be totally wrong but I know when I have chases times before I always over think it or just feel off on my races. It’s when I just let go I felt like I raced better and just focused on doing my absolute best (I will never be as fast as you, nor have I ever been but I have been in the situation of putting too much pressure on myself for a certain result). Just my 2 cents homie and I hope you achieve your Olympic Qualification Time.
love your vids
You work so hard and are so very inspiring. You’ll earn that qualifying spot for sure at CIM. I abandoned my race last year at mile 15.5 (Ventura Marathon). We sat in the cold too long and I couldn’t get warm (it had snowed the night before). Six miles in felt like 20. This was my second DNF. The other was from altitude sickness. Dropping definitely gets in your head. I’ve been trying to qualify for Boston and am SO close!! My next marathon is in 5 weeks. Don’t want a repeat. We’ve got this💪💪
I have so many questions!
How often do you race? And do you only race marathons? Would you do a half marathon or even 10k just for the mental boost?
Oh and do you race outside the USA?
Gl with the build! What's ur intro and outro music btw?
That stinks. However, glad to hear that you’re going to stick with it. You know you can do it, you’ve done it before. Like you said though, be sure and finish this next one. No matter what.
Keep it up brother
it’s alright that you couldn’t finish especially because it was for medical and physical purposes… you’ll get that olympic time that you need. i know it for sure!
gotta get on the Kiptum train and start running a marathon everyday
Good luck
CIM is gonna be it
You win some you lose some brother. Its part of the process
You need to go to The Ineos camp by Kipchoge to get yourself prepared.
You should do CIM in December
👍
I love flagstaff
Still my goat 🐐
Bruh..his gram so cool tho❤
AM workouts, job, 2nd workouts, and took much on yur plate. It's just too much my guy. Let go of youtube until the race. Trust the process 🙏💪👍
Maybe 5-6 day 100% rest, nutrition and sleep b4 race day
2 girls 1 cup

Whats the intro song?
Dude, you need to go to Kenya and train. It will change your mindset.

Click bait
Well your first mistake is that you’re playing Fortnight and not PUBG….
Sincerely wish this video wasn't clickbait, this guy's so corny
People afraid to be corny, while I’m living my life on the cob 🌽
@@AdamWoodRuns Lmao u the typa guy to say the dumbest shit ever and then complain about the "haters"
You're on an entirely different level than I am, but for what it's worth, it sounds to me like the issue is actually psychological. You said you've dropped out of marathons twice recently. You've also noted many times in your videos that you have issues with confidence. Your body, having done millage upwards of 100 where a high percentage of said miles were at or near race pace, was prepared for the race. Your body probably could have done it. Your mind couldn't. I suspect the issue's between your ears and relates to confidence. Mark Allen, a triathlon legend, used to struggle with similar issues. He always lost to Dave Scott until he eventually overcame them. Then he beat Dave and set a world record. Just my thoughts.
It's worth noting that when things aren't physically going your way and your mindset is "Run X:XX or bust" your mind will immediately think "well shit guess this is a bust" once the pain starts to set in and you still got a long way to the finish. It takes a hell of a lot of psychological training to snap out of that mindset once it begins during a race and get back on track to salvage what you can. The pros are really good at making their shit days still decently close to their amazing days, unless something crazy happens to them. Even if this isn't what necessarily happened with Adam, it's still important to say
Absolutely! Definitely going to be paying extra care with my mental game this go around 🙏🏼
Dave Scott was pretty old then.
@@chessplayer-ms3pn Dave broke his own record that day so I don't think age was the factor. Allen broke every PR Dave set at Kona.
man i wish i saw this comment earlier😭
i love you adam, inspiring mf
You can do this Adam! These moments will be the ones you look back on when you finally get your qualifier!! 💪
Thank you for being honest online, where most people just dare to post their highs. Keep crushing it and enjoying every mile.
