Dude, you’re an incredible runner and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You’re already way beyond most high schoolers, as I’m a freshman and only run a 5:11, and our best runner who’s a sophomore is only doing 4:55. Keep it up man you’re going places!
Nothing to hang your head about dude. 3rd at the state meet as an 8th grader is crazy! I’m a freshman and I made it to state my first time this year while watching your content. You will only get better from here, so keep going man. It’ll be no time before you win state. Ready for XC!
I know how it feels for a season to not go as planned bro. I had dreams of making states in the 1600 this year but fell way short, 4:47 was my quickest time. And I'm a senior in high school! I've got mad respect for your talent and work ethic
Hey man, I'll get to train with you for XC this year, I'm so excited to see what you can do in XC man! By the way, I was in the same situation as you. Last year, I went from a 5:56 to a 5:26 in 1 indoor track season and thought I could break 5 minutes in the mile in the next season. I ended up running 5:46 for my last mile and was really aggrovated and lost most motivation to even train for XC because I only cared about the mile and improving my time and not about having fun with the process. I still haven't broke 5 in the mile and I'm about to be a senior this year but I'm at a 5:11 right now and I know I can break 5 this season, but I have been focusing on having fun with the sport and enjoying the process and it's felt a lot better, and I haven't burned myself out either because I'm not over training so that's a +. Don't get discouraged about not hitting sub 4:30 this year, you'll get it eventually, for now, just enjoy the training and careful not to over train yourself and burning yourself out. You have an amazing future, and I'm really excited to train with you. I wish you goodluck on the sub 4:30 mile!
Hey man im gonna show you how you can run sub 4:30. Ramp up your milage until around 80 miles a week. Also do double threshold. Most of the best runners in the world do this now. Monday: 8 miles + 4x100m in spikes. Tuesday: AM-5x5 minutes at threshold PM-8x1k at LT. Wednesday: 10 miles Thursday: AM-fartlek PM-20x400m at 78-82. Friday: 8 miles + strength Saturday: Hill reps 18x200m Sunday: Rest or long run. Jakob ingebrigtsen uses this formula, i think it suits you too.
Good try! Sometimes you set goals and don't reach them, I had also set goals this track season and wasn't able to attain them, but I'm not disappointed because I see how far I've come since last season and even tho I didn’t hit my goal I'm still proud. You should be too. 4:42 is very quick.
U serieouly put up a heck of a season 4:42 for a middle schooler is crazy and tbh ur better in the 3200 and xc. Cant wait to see what u rack up for 5ks!!!
Recommendation. Although you are a lot better than me and you're a middle schooler, I believe changing your strategy in championships was not the best idea. Stick with something you know you can do so you can keep a good final kick.
Don't worry about this race, you are a natural xc runner and most people don't have it both ways. I've never seen a hs runner win nationals in xc and then win nationals in track. Especially with your work ethic, you will be one of the best Freshman xc runners in no time
Awesome video, you should be incredible proud of what you were able to accomplish. The sky is the limit as you enter high school Keep grinding, stay healthy, and get a good summer in.
I mentioned in a previous video that your sub 4:30 goal was a bit too much for this year... it's good to hear you recognized that. 4:42 at your age is outstanding (or any age really). With your solid work ethic you'll shave off a bit each year through high school. You sound excited for the cross country season and I hope you're able to repeat as state champion. That's an achievable short-term goal.
if you try to focus on competing rather than time especially during competition season, you’ll do a lot better. keep your head up brodie big things coming soon but lock in this summer
A quick tip when you have the lead try to stay in the lead as much as you can if anyone tries to overtake you speed up and on the last 200m sprint as fast as you can but 04:42 is ridiculous well done Evan
Great Job Man! I remember I started watching you like 4 months ago and I was like "dude, this guy is a beast" cuz of ur determination and abilities. Im a track athlete in mid distance and i was also in XC. I js wanna say good job man, dont be disappointed as you did great!
I know how it feels to have a disappointing finish to this season. I was hoping to run in the mid 4:20's (freshman), and the race I was peaking for came. With 400 to go I was on pace to possibly break 4:30, but my mind shut down and I bonked. Well atleast xc is here lmao
I tried new race shoes for the first time in a big cross country race, the brooks Hyperion max 2, did not disappoint, 2 min pr, then the next week at the last race of the season I got a 30 second pr, 23:33 I think
cville tn thats where i live, ran on that track a few times, the most recent being my pt test with a horrible result lol but have ran low 8 mile and a halves there !
hey kid im a runner myself dont be disappointed with that time thats really good. but you cant beat yourself up its middle school you still have 4 years of high school to run and get better you just got to stay consistent and keep working hard
Bro Evan ur hella fassst. Do u have Strava? Bro I’m the same age I got 6th at XC State and we broke our district 4 X 400 in Colorado. I’m also going to Niwot which is a really good running school
not all races go as planned, i was suppose to win the league by over 15 seconds but ended up going out way to fast and died to 7th, i ended up coming back to 2nd but it still went nothing as planned
Bro your cross country season starts so early in Scotland it starts in October and btw a quick tip is to not change anything including stratagy right before your race because you never know if it is better
Don't be upset man. Just remember there's still so many people you're destroying. You still absolutely would destroy me since my pr is only 5:23 in the mile as an 8th grader 🤣. Watching you run is humbling though. Keep it up! You still have high school to beat 4:30.
Don't act like Reid is your enemy. He is your teammate and both of you need to run as a team motivating each other to go faster as a rivalry. Don't act like he's from a different school. Having a person on the same team as you with I similar time helps a lot for points. It from experience.
Bro that kid in green was a menace you deserved 2nd but 4:42 is still a crazy good time
Dude, you’re an incredible runner and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You’re already way beyond most high schoolers, as I’m a freshman and only run a 5:11, and our best runner who’s a sophomore is only doing 4:55. Keep it up man you’re going places!
Same, also a freshman who ran a 5:11, best player on our team was a junior who ran a 4:48 time trial, pretty similar circumstances
Facts
nothing to be ashamed of, still a great season and a very bright future ahead.
don't be disappointed. i just missed conference and sections because I had a medical emergency, my season is done. I was close to going 4:40 too.
Evan I’ll always be here to watch these, I love these videos, and don’t be mad, you’ll show Reid who’s better during Cross Country
That’s not the case sadly
Aye man, keep it up your amazing. Your better than like 99% of all the people and my mile was 6:18 in 8th, you going that much lower is insane.
Nothing to hang your head about dude. 3rd at the state meet as an 8th grader is crazy! I’m a freshman and I made it to state my first time this year while watching your content.

I already know bro is about to drop some numbers in cross season. You got it dude finish all the way through!!! 💪🏽

all good dude, you gave it your all and now it's time a for a new chapter! I'm sure you'll do amazing next year :)
Good job Evan great race. Keep up the hard work.

You won good job,hard work pays off.
U serieouly put up a heck of a season 4:42 for a middle schooler is crazy and tbh ur better in the 3200 and xc. Cant wait to see what u rack up for 5ks!!!
I love the story and a great video overall. Thanks for sharing.

You shouldn’t be disappointed about your race because you came in third, and had a good time. Excited for the cross country season!
he got third
You spoiled the vid for me
@@davidloredo7814then don’t look at comments before watching the video??
Some people never even make it to state aswell
Spoiler
Awesome video, you should be incredible proud of what you were able to accomplish. The sky is the limit as you enter high school Keep grinding, stay healthy, and get a good summer in.
Dude you should go to nationals I might be going and we would race in the same heat. My pr is also 4:42.

My brother was in this video (he was in the state mile too)
4:42 for a state meet is crazy work that won’t even qualify for districts in my state 😮
I think you're in highschool not in middlewchool
This race was middle school athletes. These times are solid regardless of state.
Evan gonna have a crazy redemption arc
I know how it feels to have a disappointing finish to this season. I was hoping to run in the mid 4:20's (freshman), and the race I was peaking for came. With 400 to go I was on pace to possibly break 4:30, but my mind shut down and I bonked. Well atleast xc is here lmao
Just keep grinding bro you can win XC no doubt
Don’t try new stuff on race day
Exactly
I tried new race shoes for the first time in a big cross country race, the brooks Hyperion max 2, did not disappoint, 2 min pr, then the next week at the last race of the season I got a 30 second pr, 23:33 I think
@@RockstarFNwell for a time like that, it’s easier to shave off minutes in big amounts
61sec last lap is wild. If he ran more even splits he would be even faster. Keep puttin in the work this summer
Bro that kid that got 2nd ran like then whole race in lane 0 💀
cville tn thats where i live, ran on that track a few times, the most recent being my pt test with a horrible result lol but have ran low 8 mile and a halves there !
Dude your insane 😀 Amazing job at State!
hey kid im a runner myself dont be disappointed with that time thats really good. but you cant beat yourself up its middle school you still have 4 years of high school to run and get better you just got to stay consistent and keep working hard
We are in the same boat man, wish I could have gone faster but now it's time for high school XC
great season man! you got a bright future ahead if you keep up with your work ethic :D
keep working man, next season will be better
“4:53 pr for the mile shouldn’t be a issue” BRO WHATTTT MY BEST IS LIKE A 6:20 WTFFFF
don't be too down, as a sophomore with a 5:35 you're still miles ahead lol
Bro Evan ur hella fassst. Do u have Strava? Bro I’m the same age I got 6th at XC State and we broke our district 4 X 400 in Colorado. I’m also going to Niwot which is a really good running school
Been waiting on this video to come out; great effort Evan! I’m excited to see that XC series and you have inspired me to start one as well
You cooked my team in the mile you did amazing tho I thought I was gonna beat you for a little bit
Still a stud bro 💪🏻🔥
Don't be discouraged! Go out there and get them
That's where the middle state meet is
Good races! What was your mile time in 6th grade? Mine is 5:19
You can run last lap with him don't slow bro keep it up 🔥🔥🔥
not all races go as planned, i was suppose to win the league by over 15 seconds but ended up going out way to fast and died to 7th, i ended up coming back to 2nd but it still went nothing as planned
61 last lap is insane for a mile why is that kid running distance
Bro your cross country season starts so early in Scotland it starts in October and btw a quick tip is to not change anything including stratagy right before your race because you never know if it is better
I’m exited for the xc season
Looking at the race that green shirt guy cut several people off multiple times
Don't be upset man. Just remember there's still so many people you're destroying. You still absolutely would destroy me since my pr is only 5:23 in the mile as an 8th grader 🤣. Watching you run is humbling though. Keep it up! You still have high school to beat 4:30.
Where do you guys get all your stamina?
dang bro. You are about a whole minute faster than me I want to run (5:40). I am also in 8th grade.
thats crazy good im trying to break the 1km in 4min (im 12) but im still 5 secs short any tips how i can train ?
🔆😎 Hope you will do off-Szn workout vlogs
crazy szn your gonna have a very good xc szn. You going to NB Nationals?
Its just the start evan you have time
What’s your 5k rn going into next season
I was one of the people who came with the 4x2 champions
You live in tn
You did not get cut off
Bro i was at that meet
You didn’t win, but you are a great runner, this isn’t your last opportunity
Runners do lift weights 💀

No views in 13 seconds. He fell off. All jokes aside great video 😊
😂
I’ve raced the kid in the green he is so annoying
This guy is gonna be so burned out by the time he gets to high school...
Shut up
You’d be surprised
He is not top 10 in the country not he’s not even close to
