Been waiting for this. Congrats man on winning 9th place at the Olympics. Your positive aura and energy at the finish was inspiring and motivating. Hope Asics continue to support this series of yours. 😊
You were the reason I was so engaged in the Olympic marathin this year. Loved the series leading up to it. Enjoyed watching you run the marathon. Would love to keep following you from the Swedish cold going forward 🇸🇪
I’ve struggled with addiction man all through my early twenties and now I discovered running. I have ran half marathons and now I am training for my first marathon in September! I just want to tell you how much these videos have helped me and how much you have inspired me to keep pushing!
Goosebumps with Clayton Young’s Paris Build up… kudos to the videographer,editor and to Clayton for sharing his Olympic Journey AND such an amazing story teller! After watching their US Olympic trials Immediately followed him and Conner Mantz such a dynamic duo during the US trials. Hope you guys keep uploading this types of content.
I am from the Netherlands but was realy cheering when you guys crossed the line and did so well. Huge congratulations. I watched all the episodes. One day later we could cheer again for our Sifan. I watched it all in Iten, Kenya at the guesthouse of my coach she also stayed in prep for Tokyo. You deserved it. Thank you for sharing your beautifull journey!🏃♂️💪🖐
Congratulations. I'm 71 years young and have been running for over 40 years. I've been an Asics guy for many of them. I bought the Paris Edge because of you. You have got me rejuvenated and inspired, again. Thank you.
Had the blessing of running this course the evening after you in the Marathon for All. Gave me an all new respect for what you do. Even though I’ve never met you (and probably never will) I’m grateful for you sharing this build with us, and to have been able to run the same course as you. Can’t wait to see where you go next!
I have never been this vested in someone else's marathon training.🤣 The transparency and openness you show during this series make it great. Thank you for sharing yourself and your family with us. I was in Paris cheering for you! Congratulations on your strong finish!
This series had me so invested in the marathon. I was rooting for you and Conner and you both smashed it! Hoping you continue to make some great content.
Thank you for being so open with the your thoughts and feelings. It helps so much to know that professional athletes have the same doubts that we hobby joggers have. This has been such a joy to watch, and you have me in tears every other episode with your insights. Keep the channel going!!! Could not love it more if I tried! Also, I bought myself a pair of ASICS. 🎉🎉
I've loved this series, your videos give such great insight, and they really kept me motivated to keep training for my own marathon while I recovered and cross-trained with a 2-month long injury. Congratulations on brilliant performance in Paris, Clayton! Really looking forward to following your journey 💪
Let’s go! Best marathon prep series out there. Ran my first marathon last weekend as well and went SUB 3! These videos have definitely kept me going through my 5 month training block. Congrats on that top 10 finish in Paris! 🙏🏼
We had a nice watch party here in FL where our group did 1,000 box step-ups while we watched the marathon unfold. You and Connor were the reason why we all got together and watched it! Congrats on such a great finish!
What a finish Clayton, both you and Mantz rocked it in Paris. Very proud of you. Top 10 Finish on a super warm and tough course like Paris Olympics is no joke but, watching you through this entire build, I had a strong feeling you both will have a very strong finish. Hearty congratulations!!! BTW, the way you finished, with a big smile on the face, soaking it all in and waiting to congratulate other finishers behind you, that was absolutely classy. Congratulations again!!!
This series is the absolute best for so many reasons. Love the raw honesty and insight into your day to day! You absolutely crushed Paris and we’re all so proud of you and Connor!
Finally, it's back!! Congratulations on your Paris Marathon, can't believe the 100 days count down is finally over :(. Definitely nothing separated you and Conner in the training and the actual race. You both had completely set a high bar in terms of what we should expect from a healthy friendship as a human being and a comradeship as a fellow athlete. True inspiration!
That hill was nothing like Paris 😂 , loved seeing you guys race last week. Very well done fantastic running . An inspiring series , thank you for sharing a glimpse of your lives . I will do my best from the little town of Chorley UK to continue and follow your journey
FWIW, I stayed up and watched the olympic marathon primarily because of this series. Even as a BYU fan, I felt connected enough to make that commitment because of this web series.
Luckily my baby woke me up at 3am and I caught the race live. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Was so awesome to see you finish strong and in such an amazing time. Honestly thought that 2:08 would be winning time on that course based on the profile! I’m about to enter week 1 of my marathon build for December and will revisit this series throughout!
Love these and will keep watching whatever is to come. However, I think a World Record may have been set in this video.......for most commercials. I lost track but it may have been in the neighborhood of 17.
I did an experiment. Watched this video on the TV originally. I noticed Back To The Future coming on. It's a channel with commercials. Then I dialed this up on the phone. Not a related YT account to the TV. Phone's connected to the cell tower. The video barely ended before the movie. Marty's home, Doc's alive, and another week of training is done. A couple hours did it!
@@_Clayton_Young_ Yeah, I realize it's not you nor the producer who is to blame. I let it play that second time, the one that took most of Back To The Future so that the ads would count as being viewed. That's a good way to do it. Watch on the TV screen skipping ads. Then play on phone giving you all credit for ads playing.
Clayton, loved to hear that you think this was one of the best training weeks of your life! Glad your hard work paid off in Paris. Also, it's cool to hear you were happy and having fun with the build! I've always really enjoyed training for races. The process is fun!
Been here from episode 1. Its inspiring what you do with filming your preparation and sharing it with us. I didn't know who you were before that series and didnt know your story and now im here cheering for you and Conner at the Olympics. I hope this story continuous, your story so we can gave a role model for the upcoming years. Please consider keeping this series all the way to LA. For many of us this is the only way to see how Elite works and what fundaments are essential. Love you guys and congratulations on amazing Paris performance 🎉 🇵🇱
Before this series I never would've considered being stoked to see athletes from USA do well in the marathon. After this series I wanted Clayton and Connor to do well more than marathoners from any other country but my own. You guys must make everyone who you represent so proud. Great athletes and ambassadors. Congrats.
I loved how the last run near the end of your build finished next to the temple that is under construction and that you then talked about building the mind - such great parallels to ponder. Congrats on your top ten finish!! Thanks for all the inspiration- I will be replaying these videos in my mind in a few weeks as I try to finish the Wasatch 100.
Thanks for sharing the journey to Paris, Clayton. No matter what the end result is, the journey to achieve 26.2 is relatable for everyone from the amateur to the professional. Good luck with the recovery and for the future.
a fan from indonesia here, following since the eps 1 and watching the olympic itself, great story and congratss on the 9th place also connor, u are inspiring a lot of people here
Congrat 9th place Clayton facing this jaw dropping elevation route! Top notch videography and close-up shots as always, just right on time for my long run on Sunday! Can't wait for next episode.
Job WELL DONE to the both of you 👍 😃 !!! In the Olympic Marathon! Excellent Excellent !!! Read the course was a tough one. I really hope you continue your videos! Thoroughly enjoy them.
Congratulations on your SUPERB performance at Paris! This has been the best series of videos that I've ever followed on RUclips. Thanks for letting us be a part of the journey. Well done.
You are amazing! Congratulations on your Paris finish - you looked great. I admire your work ethic, thought process, and physical abilities - amazingly fast! And you know other runners on that trail. Thanks for this series.
I followed all you workout and they are truly amazing. I am trying to add few of such workouts in my running schedule. Thank you for documenting the series . I congratulate you for Paris . Great Job 👍👍
It is really inspiring watching your build up for Paris while training for my own fall marathon. The paces are no where close but the struggle is very relatable. I really hope you continue to share your journey in future builds from time to time. Congrats again to you, Connor and your coach.
This is hands down been one of my favorite builds. Grateful to have joined you earlier in the build. I can’t wait to join you and the boys more now that I’m here full time for (hopefully) many years to come. Congratulations on an awesome performance in Paris
Dude ive enjoyed the tone and narrative of each video of this series so much! Congrats on your olympic finish! It's only just begun! Keep. putting out the content brother!
Congrats on your top 10 at the Olympics! This is the best running series to come to RUclips! Just bought a pair of Asics Metaspeed Edge+ for my races at the end of the year.
Your series was the best motivator for my own build (race started a few hours after your marathon finish). Thank you for that! And congrats to a stellar race.
Best running series I have watched, incredible to see what the worlds best do to compete against best. Awesome to see you and Connor finish after each other. Super proud to see USA come in top 10 against an amazing field! Praying the best is yet to come for you and your family, hope see you at a race some day. Cheers!
Incredible!! Was so excited to see you guys compete this year, and so proud of how you guys did. This series has been a huge source of inspiration and excitement for me this summer. Congratulations on a great build and a great finish!!
Loved the series so far and really looking forward to watching the rest of it. You and Conner did a fantastic job - I was particularly pleased to see the two of you in the top ten and in consecutive places - and your pacing on a tough course was exemplary (from what I saw on Strava). I hope you're really proud of the result and the performance.
It feels somewhat unpatriotic but I was far more invested in how you did in the marathon than how athletes from my own country (some of whom did incredibly well and should absolutely be praised) did. Especially in a relatively niche sport like running it really shows how important it is to connect with others.
It was great seeing you come down the final straight, looking just so happy to be there and having had a great run! Been a pleasure following you from the UK.
This is the most awesome series on RUclips. It feels really good for my soul! It's so cool to see you happy with the training and confident 3 weeks out. Congrats on the result!
Been waiting for this. Congrats man on winning 9th place at the Olympics. Your positive aura and energy at the finish was inspiring and motivating. Hope Asics continue to support this series of yours. 😊
Thank you for cheering us on!!

Can't wait to watch the Switzerland episode
Same!
@@manikandangunaseelan5624 you and me both! Coming soon.
My favorite moment in all of the Olympics was when you and Mantz re-connected in the race with that "gimme five" hand slap.
You and me both!
I need to have gratitude and fun! That’s it, that’s the secret for everything, including running!
This series had me so invested in the marathon. I was rooting for you and Conner and you both smashed it! Hoping you continue to make some great content.

Seeing you 2 at the Olympics and winning a top 10 slot is like a dream... so happy to watch this.

I watched the race from London- what an amazing performance. You both did great. Awesome job and thanks for sharing the journey
Thank you for watching and supporting!
These episodes have been so incredible even post-Paris. The picture and color. The training regimen. The reflections. So real.
Those fatigued miles paired dividends in Paris! You and Connor came out of the hills looking great❤
More golden content 🎉 I watched the race, it was incredible to see how happy you were crossing the line! You two fully deserved top 10 finishes 👊
Amazing performance by Team USA. So proud of you all wishing all the best going forward!!!
And I did watch the Olympic marathon! Great run!
Thank you for watching!

I've always really enjoyed training for races. The process is fun!
great athlete + great coach + great teammates + great support group = 9th place at Olympics. Very, very impressive.
I stayed up way too late watching you crush that race. Sleepless day at work the next day but it was allllll worth it. So proud of you and Connor!

Congratulations on your first olympic marathon finish.🎉
