    Yo, it's Eric here! I'm the random legend!!! Got passed by these guys absolutely busting out 5:30s and saw a challenge HAHA. I ran into your buddy Treyce today at Liberty and he told me about this video! Such an honor to run with someone of your caliber and your friends and pros! Best of luck in your race!!

    Finn looks like the guy from Portland and Tyler Green looks like the guy from Utah.
    All jokes. Thanks for the wonderful running content!

    Is Finn becoming the “fast media guy”? Psyched for the series!

    • @runsingletrack
      @runsingletrack  3 месяца назад +2

      Hahahaha..Brett is who I’m looking up to here..that 2023 Javelina performance of his is the gold standard

    HELL YES!!! The Finn running content I’ve been hoping for.

    • @runsingletrack
      @runsingletrack  3 месяца назад

      Haha..thank ya..fun little scene developing here in SLC, and this felt like a good excuse to document..appreciate the shout outs on social..hopefully we can keep delivering on this series!

    All I can think is Leah saying, "Why is Finn so good at speed workouts?" Love seeing this type of content man!

    • @runsingletrack
      @runsingletrack  3 месяца назад +2

      Hahahaha..thankfully Leah was kind enough to omit how much she crushes me in the terrain that matters (trails, mountains)..lol 😂😂

    Dude, this was rad! And you’re no way near done at 33. I always use the example of Mark Darbyshire, who’s pretty much the best UK 100mile mountain runner not named Tom Evans. He holds the CRs at almost all the big UK 100s and has a top20 at UTMB. He’s mid 40s and started running in his 30s. It’s never too late!
    Best of luck 👊🏼

    • @runsingletrack
      @runsingletrack  3 месяца назад +1

      Yeahhhh I might have been exaggerating the physical decline part..but by 33 in most other sports (like football, where I originally hail from)..33 is knocking on the door of aging out..that is what’s cool about its I suppose is the window can be longer

    • @runsingletrack
      @runsingletrack  3 месяца назад +1

      Mark is a great call out by the way..what a legend

    • @runsingletrack
      @runsingletrack  3 месяца назад

      Exactly..yeah, gonna have to get creative some times..I’m sure I’ll be making training camp trips down to Saint George and Moab as things need to get more specific closer to race day but also, there will be a long of times when yeah I’ll have to slog on snowy salt lake trails..won’t be perfect but it will be interesting!!

      Ohh Brett will be involved (I hope)..he’s frequently a training advisor and I bet we’ll do some crossover gear episodes for this on the CP channel (similar to the one we did for Cocodona)
