• Why Do You Run?

God Bless and happy running

Why do we run? As the great Bill Bowerman once said, "the real purpose of running isn't to win a race. It's to test the limits of the human heart"
Steve Prefontaine ! Pre lives ❤
Being a cross country and a distance runner in track and field the question of why do i run so much? isnt it boring ? and the most common question of all : Dont you get tired? I tell them eya of course iget tired iget tired after the first lap of the mile but i have the will and determination to continue to run and pass people. the feeling when you cross the finish line and pr is like no other ! it is an amazing accomplishment everyone should expierence! I like running long distance beacuse it is somehting not everyone can do everyone gives up when they get tired. running is something evryone do it is free and can give you so much benefits!
Im 53 now I developed a hereditary COPD and can't run. It was something I loved and Steve Prefontaine was my hero I just didn't realize it till after he died. I was told I had his form when I ran. I ran a 12:2 2 mile X country at age 12. And I got better. By the time I was 24 the COPD was destroying me but I still ran till I was in my mid 30s. I did a 32:40 10k when I was 23 and that was my best I loved to run snd I wondered why sometimes why I loved it and why I was so good. It was because God gifted it yo me knowing I would be afflicted later. But not curse him.keep on keeping on. The breath of life.
BluStone 60 I’m so sorry
But God gave you the COPD.
@@nicefloweytheoverseer7632 Everything that happens to us, whether it is good or bad is an educational opportunity for our soul. Our physical existence is a gift and our experiences are a gift as well. No sense toiling away on resentment.
@@julesmo323yes ! Exactly 💯 God is great
Bro you did awesome !
That cross country runner smiling while he is collapsed on the ground made me so happy I wanted to cry.
please tell me you know who that is...kind of a popular runner.
The pain and discipline it takes to run a time like that is mind blowing
Ritz is a legend, what an iconic moment that race was.
He is like Steve Prefontaine! He will run "with you!" But it is going to take BLOOD to win against you!!!
Guess he bled out and died
I can’t tell you how many times I watched this video during my 5 years as a D1 runner. Truly elicits emotion every time.
this vid has brought tears to my eyes time and time again i can feel it's power !
"Why are you always running?"
"Just ask a football player why he goes to football practices"
I used to watch this video before every race in high-school and I've been searching for it since I graduated. Watching this again brought back so many emotions and memories! ❤
Same here. I’m glad I found this again
before almost every race i watch this video. It always makes me believe that i can do better....thank you :)
To break the 4 minute mile is every milers dream but we have to put in the work it takes to achieve greatness and take it day by day
race tomorrow and goal is to run the mile in the 4:30s..this video makes me believe that its going to happen!
Very beautiful video thank so much
This video just gets me pumped for track
Thank you Almighty God (Jesus Christ) for blessing me with a strong/healthy body to go running! All praises to King Jesus The Christ!
Amen.
The Doughty Dive was the most intense moment in running. Ever.
So.. I'm only 14 and I ran a marathon the other day which was my second one and I watched this just before starting and literally got 9th place out of 200 runners! I was so happy thanks so much for the video!
Are you still running?
My dream is to break the 4 min mile I think about it everyday and will never look back
You can do it
Thanks for this video.. I had a bad race today... This video is inspiring me to not give up
Last year as a 7th grade girl i qualified for the states i ran my heart out that race. Now im a 8th grader and i hope to get to the states and go above and beyond :3
Are you still running?
I will forever love this track
This is probably one of my favorite videos that I have ever watched.
i love this video. when im in the middle of my intervals and i need that extra push, i think of this video. every trackie should see it.
Such an amazing video. Omg. Gets me so pumped
Wow came back here ten years later. Completely forgot about this vid
that was beautiful. I think ill go run now :)
Great compilation!
I run/walk to school and back 11 miles a day, heading to college. People laugh at me for how I look, I do this for me not for them.
Amazing video, i show this to my 4x8 team before big races
This is probably the best video in all of youtube history.
Amazing im ready for my race tommorow!
The Solinsky clip gives me chills.
Gave me chills and ny eyes got watery
If you have to ask why then you will never understand. It is something only those select few know. Those who put themselves through the pain, but deep down know how good it feels.
Fantastic
I needed this
to fight the pain... true
amazing video and music
Whats title the song? I love it
Awesome video!
Amazing!
Solid motivational video. Major Salute from iWontLose
WOW! You could add Michael Arnstein to this list in Ultra marathons!
Awesome 👍💯
Good Video....appreciated!
this video made me cry.
Perfect Song, great footage. The only thing keeping the video from perfection is the absence of some Billy Mills 10k footage
18:53. Knocked 14 seconds off my PR, but I have a week to train and prove myself at Regionals. I knew I didn't have the splits for the PR I wanted, but I sure as hell didn't let the guy next to me pass me in the last 800 meters. It hurt, but it was worth it.
Great video... will share on our site
The song can be found by entering "The xx - intro [long version]" in search bar on RUclips
56 seconds till I’m sub 4 😉
great video! Where can I find this song?
I can, I will, I must...
Awesome
16:30s will be mine tomorrow!
Did you get it? And where are you now?

I almost cried !
I second that!
what is the name of the song?
Who is the guy running at the 1:08 point in the video? The words are blurry.
who are the 1.00minute?? it's a very nice and motivation video!!
What I needed today. Running in the rain sucks (5.50 miles) :(
have you run those miles? i mean a year ago
@mryouisthebest Nope. That footage is from the 2011 West Virginia State Meet and it's the 800m. The kid in red is Jacob Burcham, who was a sophomore at the time, and the kid who dove was Brandon Doughty, who now runs for Oklahoma. Burcham ran 1:54.01, Doughty 1:54.03.
@TheSecretIdentities did it happen?
Song: Intro by the Xx
Running is my training regimen for the Zombie Apocalypse!
Omg, me to. And plus we need to learn how to run not only for health but for emergencies. 😎😋
Take a shot every time he says solinski
did you do it?
Why did running legend Steve Prefontaine run? The answers are in the new documentary "Pre's People."
Pre's coaches, teammates and competitors reveal his tenacious secrets. Check it out at www.prespeoplemovie.com or Vimeo VOD.
Damn bruh newest comment lol
Very Inspirational For My 3 Mile Run Tomorrow, By The Way What's The Song Name
Intro
You could have read the description for that
so young
I am hoping to break 15 in my 5k this video is telling me i can do this tomorrow!!
To be clear… 6th Book of the New Testament…book of Romans…chapter 5…verses 3-5. Very inspirational, another wonderful godsend !!
Where am I?
The challenge? To run a mile in the length of this video, if you dare lol
Maybe a 1500 one day
did it?
name from the music?
intro- the xx
Dathan Ritzenheim, as a boy
I'm not rying to be a jerk or anything because this video was like the most amazing video on youtube, but do u have something against female runners? It reall was a great video!
Wrong bible verse towards the end . It’s not Roman’s 3:5 but romans 5:3
“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
Romans 5:3-5 NIV
bible.com/111/rom.5.3-5.niv
1:02...WOW
I met Chris solinsky :)
OMG u r so lucky
Great video. Like the scripture at the end but you cite it incorrectly. It is Romans 5:3-5.
1:53 one of the best moments in sports it's always inspired me
Hurdlers unite!
Why do I run? Hebrews 12: 1
My first thought as the video ended was, "Not a single woman in this video." Google, "Girl falls down and wins race"
where are all the female runners at?
i run and i can run long and ever sence i watched this i belive i can do it and im only 12 almost 13
tombradylover1234321 how did it go?
Great video but you got the verse wrong it's Romans 5:3-5
0:58 he won?
Check out my inspirational race on my video if you're a track athlete. It has a little comedic value in It but overall a pretty motivating video so if you have the chance check it out.
Its Romans 5:3, instead of 3:5.
Today, 18:30 will be mine.
Yes. It looks like he lapped everybody else. Those other guys weren't ahead of him they were way behind.
Very good video but where are the women?
that quote isn't romans 3:5 if your referring to the bible
sorry i saw the song title like a minute after posting the comment my bad
you left out billy mills 1964
who was the kid at 1:10?
+Sharktank21Gaming Ritz!
who is Ritz??
Dathan Ritzenhein. He won the Foot Locker Championships in this race. Went on to break the 5k American record. Michigan boy, born and raised
+Ikiri Cross I suppose. But so far, Ritz is far more accomplished. I raced Fischer one time and Ritz seems far more aggressive
at least the music does not suck
