This summer i quit football and started running. My preferred distance is 800m and i went from 2:10 in december to 1:58 last week! Your videos are really nice since they give a lot of tips and motivation so thanks for that! Greetings from Belgium!
@@ajbarber7861 it might sound a bit cliché but consistency and discipline have been key for me. I've been doing 3 long runs every week and 2 sessions on the track to improve the pace, which is also really important. Its also very benificial to have other athletes in the race that run just a bit faster that you, so can try to keep up with them which makes it easier to break your PR. This was the case in my last race and it helped a lot
@@asmundsundefrde6412 Personally I only wore victorys and really like them, but I see a lot of people wearing dragonflys, I just had and have the fear that they are for longer distances and that the 800 is kind of too fast for dragonflys
The air Vic to me is the best 800m shoe because it’s aggressive but has cushion, but it does destroy your calves and leaves your legs drained unlike the dragonfly so just like the maxfly be careful with them
I dont see Nike Air Zoom Victory in the list, are they so worse for 800 m? Maxfly are better? Thank u for reviewing us so much about your running shoes !
Im scared to become an 800 runner bc im 23 years old, any thoughts? I wanna be a sprinter but sometimes i think id be a better 800 guy. Im a 22.02/47.90 200/400 guy but my 800 in hs was 1:50:35. My 400 was my best event but the 800 is super close if you compare on the scoring tables. Would 1:39 be harder than 42.99?
As a middie who’s trying to be successful in cross I was wondering since Uve been able to throw down legit longer distance times if you could do a video on maintaining your speed even with higher volume mileage? Love your vids man congrats on all the success
I have used them before! Wore them in this year's Bowerman Mile. I'm a forefoot runner and need a stronger plate for my 800m races though otherwise i'll crack the plate from the stride force😬
Clayton, some of these shoes aren’t even sold anymore on nike, we don’t have the luxury of a nike athlete to get shoes that aren’t sold to the public anymore

I personally would love to see a "day in the life", as an olympian I think it would be interesting to see how big athletes live their lives!
Facts
Just constantly eating and running and sleeping. Not much variety
And sex :)

Amazing improvement man!
You gonna be the next Callum Elson
@@castlebear199 thank you man!!
What was your secret to breaking two mins in the 800? I’m tryna to break that time my self

I would love to see all of your running singlets. That would be cool.
Can you break down the basics of strength work for mid-distance and distance runners? I only ever see strength stuff for sprinters
Have you ever tried the Streakfly's?
What is your opinion about the victorys? And would you rather suggest the victorys or the dragonflys for the 800?
i use dragonflys, and for me they are amazing
@@asmundsundefrde6412 Personally I only wore victorys and really like them, but I see a lot of people wearing dragonflys, I just had and have the fear that they are for longer distances and that the 800 is kind of too fast for dragonflys
Can't believe they brought back the speed racer!!! I ran in those in the early 2000s. They need to bring back the Nike Vapor
Why maxfly and dragonfly but no air victory? Seems like it would be between the two
Have you ever tried the Air Zoom Victory’s? I feel like they are the ideal 800m shoe
The air Vic to me is the best 800m shoe because it’s aggressive but has cushion, but it does destroy your calves and leaves your legs drained unlike the dragonfly so just like the maxfly be careful with them
Never thought I'd see someone do recovery runs in Vaporflys! Interesting...
Could we see behind the scenes of what it was like signing with Nike? What was negotiating like? What are things fans wouldn’t know? Etc
I dont see Nike Air Zoom Victory in the list, are they so worse for 800 m?
Maxfly are better?
Thank u for reviewing us so much about your running shoes !
How do the new Vic’s compare to the maxfly? Are they just as aggressive?

Ayy bruh you never told us that you raced at the 2022 Prefontaine Classic in the mile....I completely forgot but yeah that's pretty interesting
Tks for your vídeos. You are inspiring. Cheers from brazil.
But One doubt, why dont you use the zoom air victory spikes ?
Tks and congrats
I have used them before! Wore them in this year's Bowerman Mile. I'm a forefoot runner and need a stronger plate for my 800m races though otherwise i'll crack the plate from the stride force😬
@@ClaytonMurphy800 tks for your answer. I wish u all the best. Merry Christimas and a great new year.
Just the content I came to see
I also like the orange/peach upper more
I’ve got the highlight vaporflys
Why do you only wear Nikes? Have you tried the vibram five fingers? You could easily dip under 1:40 with those
The toes are natural spikes. #freethetoes
Please send me shoes btw. Mens Sz 9.
I am sure he is sponsored by Nike. Therefore that would be one of the reasons he wears that brand.
Dude he’s sponsored by Nike
@@wyattgilbert3628 woooosh
U should come down to glen oak some day and watch a race or workout.
thanks
Omg this is gold
Crazy how he’s using carbon for easy runs… I save mine for workouts and racing 🤷♂️
How can I get this type of shows kindly?
Have you ever won the air zoom victory's? If so, what do you think?
You know you got it good when you wear next% for easy runs
thoughts on the nike zoomx invincibles
Modern day Nick Symmonds
I think both Clayton and Nick have run 1:42 + change in the 800.
@@europaeuropa3673 yeah
@@europaeuropa3673 both times in the olympics where rudisha won the race
Streak LTs FTW!
Would mamba V be a good choice for XC?
Do you like the vics?
No invincibles? Or did I miss it.
how many pairs of shoes do you rotate through currently(Trainers, flats, spikes)?
sheesh i really couldn't tell you lol it's a lot
The max fly seems very similar to the air zoom victories
Just stiffer and foam in the rear
Goated
Man... to have an unlimited shoe budget... also no zoom victory's?
Wanna see nutrition and diet
do you read the comments?
What about the Nike victory’s
What’s in my meet bag
Intro song?
Nike sponsored I assume. I ran cross country was always an ASICS guy
Streakflysss??????
a lot of these shoes are only available to top colleges and pro athletes...
5:48 Nike gonna drop you if you mention that you wore anything else
how’d it feel to get out kicked by a high schooler
Have you ever thought of going bald? Wouldn’t that help go faster?
negligible tho
why is the audio shifting into my right ear sheesh bro that was irritating
Clayton, some of these shoes aren’t even sold anymore on nike, we don’t have the luxury of a nike athlete to get shoes that aren’t sold to the public anymore
The point of the video was to show what shoes he wears, so it doesn’t really matter whether or not they are available to the public
Must be sponsored by Nike lol
