Awesome stuff man! There needs to be more of this stuff out there because I felt the same way! I was a walk-on at Nevada for Men's XC and it was definitely a challenge physically and ESPECIALLY MENTALLY. The sudden increase in volume and intensity from HS, high stakes, peer pressure, and wanting to make conference and regional teams just ran me into the ground after 2 years. I ended up sustaining multiple injuries and an eating disorder that set me back 2 years and kept me from a fulfilling college running experience. Being post-collegiate now, I'm looking to fulfill the potential I know I have in this sport but most importantly HAVE FUN!
I'am so happy that you went to BYU and I'm so proud of you for what your doing, going to school, running and you evening got a reward at your last race in your senior year but I'm glad you ran with the team.
Your videos are always so great. Coming from a junior in high school with nobody looking at me even in d2 or d3 right now this was very helpful. Hoping I can get some college visits in this summer when I get sub 2 in the 800 and 51 in the 400. Love the hard work you are always putting in reminds me of myself. I always set hard seemingly unrealistic goals for myself to. I’ve only ever hit one one my goals at that was sub 17:30 last XC season. But that’s the fun of it there’s always something more to chase
I am the only person on my HS indoor team so I train solo in the mornings before school. It's such a grind but you keep me motivated, thanks for the great content
Hi... I want to thank you for your videos. You have really motivated me...got me back to exercising...even just purchased a new pair of Hokas! I live just north of New York City. Really nice for running...not as scenic as your environment. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks again.
The beginning of his story is exactly how my running's going right now, mono during my senior cross season and all of a sudden I made a big jump as track's starting up and college coaches don't give a damn about me
I know this is unrelated, but how long should my long run be in high school leading up to spring track right now. I usually do 6 miles, is that a good distance?
hey adam I've been watching your videos for a while now. Currently, I'm a senior and this season I've hit some great new times. I've dropped my mile from 4:47 to 4:30. I have always wanted to run in college, but I obviously did not have any schools interested in me (and I still do not). I've received a few acceptances back from schools (still waiting on more). Should I email those schools and see if I can be on their team? Thanks, Dawson.
Hey adam I really enjoy your content . I need some help I start runing 3 years ago From 124k to 86 Lately I faced some issue and i. Get fat to 96 it really stress me out and I dont know how to go back to my 86k i try a lot
Hey Adam, I'm a middle school runner who is very slow. I have recently started running to improve because im the slowest kid on my xc team. My average pace during races is about 907 a mile. Please send me tips so I can do well next fall.
Stay consistent and slowly increase that mileage. If you run everyday, runs workouts and continue to work hard you’ll get faster there is no doubt about it. Summer is IMPORTANT for XC. The better summer you have the better you’ll be in XC.
yapping like Geto Suguru out here (jk i really enjoyed the vid)
Geto wasn't really a yapper he was polite and stuff but he always straight to the point
This made me lol , Love JJK. Gonna pin this comment
the story behind the work ethic 👏🏽❤

You got what it takes. The solo grind is tough but it really shows what you’re made of. Stay consistent and keep working hard. I believe in you 👏🏼
As a junior in highschool hoping to run in college its super helpful to hear what a good college runner did and how he did it.
Long time runner, first time track coach, this is great stuff. Love the videos and insight I can share with my kids.
love ur vids adam, great motivation during my winter szn as I currently have to train alone due to my hs team having like nobody on it lol
Sometimes it be like that, Keep Grinding 🙌🏼
You have done a lot with your life! Way to go!

Thanks Adam, inspiring content!

How did you get those times with 40 miles a week?? Simply Mindblowing!!
I know this is unrelated, but how long should my long run be in high school leading up to spring track right now. I usually do 6 miles, is that a good distance?
In highschool my long run was around 8-10 miles. Depends on what event you’re doing and what the rest of your week looks like :)
Inspiring 🙌
