So I don't do this often, but like this running testimony so Sage will see it and be an encouragement to other runners So I started running in 7th grade. I ran a stinkin 11 minute mile, competitively, that's terrible. I had no natural ability. but I kinda liked running. So I kept doing it. Just kinda kept running and by next year I was down to a 7:15 mile or so. Fast forward to my sophomore year I'm running about 20-25 miles a week and I run a 21:55 5k as my best. My junior year my PR is 19:47. I was running I wanna say close to 40 miles a week. I had told people that I want to run in college but they thought I was crazy. BUT I HAD A VISION. I kept training and by the end of my senior year I ran an 18:46 5k (11:40 3200 equivalent). At one of the XC meets I ran into the college coach at my local University. He told me if I ran a 10:50 two mile I could walk on to the team. And from then on, I was like a dog with a bone. I didn't let that number escape my mind So after my senior season ended, I became possessed with that goal. I even ended up skipping track (which was cancelled anyway) to build an aerobic base. I got up to about 65 miles a week and hilly 17 milers and just kept that for about 4-5 months (with a rest week or two). Starting in March I ran a depressing 11:40 3200. I had done no speed work however. So once I started adding in the speed work I got down to a 11:24 5 weeks later. I kept doing my Jack Daniels style 400s and threshold runs and then another month later I ran a 10:44 3200. I dropped a full 40 seconds in a month. All of my hard work had paid off. Attentively I am running as a walk on at the University of North Alabama this fall once I run the time trial in front of the coach. If you have a dream, and are willing to sacrifice everything for it, don't let anyone tell you that it's not possible. Put in the work, be patient, and never stop working. @Vo2maxproductions, I want to thank you for making me a believer in aerobic mileage. Your channel has been a big reason I am the runner I am today
I really like your honesty too Sage. It must have been hard going to New Zealand and doing really well and then the world being hit by COVID and it changing all your race/travel plans. My work has changed a lot and means that I now mainly work from home and this has given me more flexibility around my running. Keep the awesome vids coming Sage
Love the video, the scenery and most importantly, your honest insight. Your videos are inspirational, informative and passionate. The contribution your channel brings to the running world and to promote a healthy lifestyle is unquestionable. Thank you Sage. 😃
Sage, your honesty and perspective is incredibly encouraging! Trying to fit more running in around my schedule (since I'm one of the lucky ones who still works full-time in healthcare as well as being a full-time nursing student) has been very challenging. Just like you said, running didn't seem very important in the grand scheme of things. But it is! Finding joy and peace and fullfillment in the privilege of enjoying the outdoors, as well as building good health! This video was especially inspiring, and I thank you!!
My husband and I are packing for Belford and Oxford on Monday - thank you for the video showing the trail conditions - good to see some sections of trail are runnable.
Love the transparency in your video. The reality is that we have all been affected even in small ways that might seem insignificant but we all need a way to vent in our way so appreciate the great content.
Love the video Sage! Bought some Roka shades a few weeks ago and love em and just picked up some Hoka Torrents yesterday. That Waterloo seltzer is a great one too!
Great vid and great 'stream of consciousness'. Live your life, be good to the people around you and help others when you can. . And come and run UTS in Wales next year 😉
Sage, youre a huge inspiration. Id love to hear your thoughts on ultra marathon training and whether focusing more on doing lots of elevation gain and sacrificing a little weekly mileage or doing a little less elevation gain and running more weekly miles is more beneficial. Thanks for all the great videos, you inspired me to get out and run the moab red hot 55k as my first running race ever and it was a blast.
Sage Canaday- I am out of shape... trying to get back into shape Also Sage Canaday- *Runs up a 14er at a fast pace while not being out of breath and talking to the camera like it's nothing* Lol

Always a pleasure to follow your journey especially when you sincerely talk about ups but also downs. Real inspiration for casual runners like me! Keep pushing Sage, I wish you to get in shape and crush your upcoming goals no matter which they are. I'm glad your title sponsor and other sponsors are supporting you during this 'strange' year and hope they will go on doing so for you and us to keep dreaming! Wish you and Sandi all the very best.
Sage! Thanks for opening up today my dude. Really refreshing to hear you share today. I’ve learned a lot from you. Mostly about running, but today it was about being a human.
Hey I can relate being out-of-shape because of covid. Luckily I start a 16-week marathon training schedule this week and it's motivating me to eat right and get back into shape. Loved your shoes on this episode! Are those good for any surface or only for trails?
Sage! Can u make a training talk about how to maintain as much fitness as possible while injured? And how to return to our training post injury? I am currently recovering from an overtraining knee injury and don’t want to be back at square 1 when I get better. I foam roll, ice, do yoga, core and resistance band training but just looking for more guidance. Thanks so much man
It’s okay to boohoo. Running is your gluten free bread and vegan butter. It is all about perspective and we are all working with what we have. You consider yourself lucky whereas 98% of the population (guessing) think that your way of life is extremely difficult. Keep it going!
doesn’t Hoka make a recovery picnic blanket? Product development opportunity sage! Thanks for your real ness and positivity! Don’t be so hard on yourself
Perspective is always important, but your life is always lived by you and only you. There is nothing wrong with your disappointment, there is no shame in that.
How? My full runs are 2-3 miles every 2-3 days. For him it’s a warmup. I need the time in between to allow my joints and muscles to recover. and I feel like I need the rest. I keep my diet healthy, good BMI, limit animal products, I get enough calories. I replenish right after runs. I know I can do more it’s just the muscle/joint stiffness afterwards...how?
Maybe mix in a yoga session each week if you're having trouble with muscle and joint stiffness. Also do some warm up drills before you start, and some mobility work after. There's tons of video's on here showing examples of both.
Check out Sage’s stretching and strengthening videos! Core, hip, and leg strengthening will help as well as stretching to stay injury free. You can also try adding in one extra run a week where you alternate run for 1 min and walk 1min. That could help you focus on form while running but not burning yourself out trying to run for 2-3mi at a time if that’s where you’re at. Then gradually decrease your walking time or increase your running time until you don’t need the walking period much at all. As for diet make sure you’re getting adequate Omega-3’s. I notice a huge difference in joint soreness when I forget to include a source of them for a few days. Hope that gives you some helpful ideas!
I thought you were running up Missouri? At the summit Sage said he was on summit of Belford, having done those three peaks a bunch I know Oxford and Belford would require going left at Elkhead Pass, not right. ? 😆
I greatly appreciate your honesty! COVID has affected everyone's life with cancellations and such. Just be sure to give yourself some grace and not to get caught up in internal monkey mind! You're tough and awesome!
I've found this time to be a welcome reset button. With no racing, we can build a huge base, play with some different methods and just enjoy the process! That said- I'd love to race!!
Hello, I have a question that I can’t find and answer to, my cadence is about 163 steps per minutes but my 5k time is 1730 how do I increase my cadence
i always wonder how do you navigate in the mountains? i would be so lost and don't know how to get back to the camping site. as always, thank so much for taking us through the scenery. Epic view! I have been holding my run motivation well until recent two weeks. it has been hard without knowing when there will be races again. this video motivated me and i am gonna get myself out there running today.
Excellent, rewarding insight into the world of an elite runner. I particularly like your humbling explanation of the perks you`re used to and the way Covid has effected you and your lifestyle. Good luck with the training add getting race fit again. The videos and your insight brilliant.
Everyone finds the Covid situation tough. When the Competing, training and having all these different goals and events to aim for are taken away from you, it will be hard. Don’t feel bad. Everyone finds it tough in different ways. Stay safe 👍
re: the planks at the end - how do you feel about planks vs reverse planks? obviously they both have their own benefits/place in a routine.. but do you do reverse planks at all?
There's another insane runner in the 14ers right now. Eric Gilbertson's working on the 100 highest in Colorado (Centennial peaks), started on June 16th, 73/100 done.

Hauling 🐴
Thanks for being honest with your feelings. Keep moving forward!
COVID making you humorous Coach Sage 😆
Damnit i want to run in these places
I feel all the fomo watching these videos. I've got zero scenery on my runs, just suburban purgatory.
I do, but it's tough to run cause of the rarefied air. Not as enjoyable as it looks imo
Almost thought sage had become a rock climber at the beginning there

Who was your first sponsor and why?
And who sponsored you before RUclips infamy?
Love your videos keep them coming. You are not spoiled you earned it but being grateful and staying humble is why I enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the inspiration!!
Sage, great content. Appreciate the honesty. You have a great platform to do a fundraiser for those in need.
Thank you Sage for taking us up high!!! We appreciate you and your kind words!
Beautiful places to run you got there. Thanks for being honest and "keeping it real" as they say. Cheers!
Perspective is always important, but your life is always lived by you and only you. There is nothing wrong with your disappointment, there is no shame in that.
I’m not sure if I love or hate these new Roka Matador glasses but I appreciate the content. Great video sir.
One of your best videos. Awesome scenery and great at keeping your audience engaged. Looked fun!
So what kind of mile time does out of shape sage do. Like 5:10? The irony where I am there r crazy amounts of new runners and cyclists
OD on the Vit B eer? Road trip.... view diggin dat camo yaket!
Still my favourite intro🤣🤣🤣

It's time to hire Sandi as a coach.
Great video keep it up! 💪🏼
Pizza, french fries.
Haha you look like Captain America doing your stretches on the cliff edge, gana blast of to the next Mountain ⛰
Awesome bro 🙏🏾👊🏾
I greatly appreciate your honesty! COVID has affected everyone's life with cancellations and such. Just be sure to give yourself some grace and not to get caught up in internal monkey mind! You're tough and awesome!
Mountain runs 🤤🤤🤤
I've found this time to be a welcome reset button. With no racing, we can build a huge base, play with some different methods and just enjoy the process! That said- I'd love to race!!
Hello, I have a question that I can’t find and answer to, my cadence is about 163 steps per minutes but my 5k time is 1730 how do I increase my cadence

Touch the plaque on Mt. Belford to high five with Seth James DeMoor!
Nice blog 😀👌
No homo, (not that anything is wrong with that) that calf vein at 17:55 is gnarrrrrrrly. Little jealous tbh! Ok a lot of jealous
You are truly blessed to have such amazing places near you! Looks beautiful!
Thanks for your honesty, Covid has helped many review how they are living. I hope we all thank God for what we do have
Inspiring. Thank you!
love these kind of vids
Thank you
Yes!
re: the planks at the end - how do you feel about planks vs reverse planks? obviously they both have their own benefits/place in a routine.. but do you do reverse planks at all?
