You guys all look so relaxed while going all out in the 4xMile. I know you're feeling pain but you make it look almost effortless. Congrats on another great performance!
Leo, Lex, there is a place where your accomplishments would really be noticed and appreciated. If you lived here, in my adopted home country of Japan, and did the things you’ve done, you’d already be national celebrities. Japan loves running, especially team competitions and relay races. The “Hakone Ekiden”, a long-distance college team relay, is one of the biggest sports events of the year here. And lots of other relays and marathons are shown on national network TV. You guys should definitely come here and run! The best time might be December, after cross country season. You could get a Japanese TV network to sponsor your trip and film a New Year special show featuring Newbury Park competing against top Japanese high school runners. There are lots of similar shows with sports celebrities on during the holidays. They’re very popular and foreign stars are often brought in to take part. With your dedication to running, meticulous preparation for races, positive attitude, good looks and California-dream lifestyle, Japan would LOVE you guys. You could probably make the rounds of the Good Morning America-type “wide shows” and increase your fanbase by orders of magnitude in a week. It would be a great adventure, and I have no doubt it could happen if you got the right people working on it.
I raced in the Ekiden for Team USA back in 1995. Amazing adventure. Traveled to Japan in later years again to race in highly regarded duathlon. Beautiful people.
@@Raymond_Churchill As of last year it was one of the top all time United States teams. Now they are completely washed because they have 2 good guys, and 1 decent guy, but the rest of their team is not good at all. The hype was always just for Colin Lex and Leo
Just watched your record running video, what impressed me the most was not the running, it was how you just laughed at the “bagel misunderstanding”, sadly enough most folks would have been bent out of shape over a simple misunderstanding, while you just accepted it and laughed. Young man, if you are able to handle life’s challenges in the same manor (which I believe you will), you are going to get so much more enjoyment out of life then most will! It is obvious you have been blessed with fantastic parents (you can tell by your actions and mannerisms).
For sure. I have absolutely no doubt that they can go sub 16 minutes. Really wish they were able to race against the college guys rather than the professionals. In my opinion these guys are good enough to compete for the win with the college guys
@@nelz2012 it completely is but they are so close. They killed the national record basically running alone since the first lap. I can only imagine how much faster they can run outdoors with faster competition that could push them towards a faster pace such as the college guys. The pros are gonna be to fast for them. Nonetheless you are absolutely right that sub 16 is extremely hard but I’m rooting for these 4 guys.
Great video. Fresh music, excellent footage, and genuine commentary. Love seeing you guys at work. Your work on and off the track is inspiring. Love seeing my home town with you guys running through it. Keep up the good work. Prayers always for your success.
I went to hs about 30 mins North of NYC and regularly ran at the armory for local and section meets. Its mesmerizing. Best indoor track in the world. I also 100% know the feeling of not being able to breath after running there, you're lungs are on fire post race.
99 my hs team at a few different point in the season even in 98 were the fastest 2 mile relay in the county. Our mile guy ran 4:09 our top half miler ran 151 also first to break 120 indoors ever in the 600. I was lead off running 156 and like i said we were super competitive. These guys would have abused us over and over lol how these guys are running so well is just amazing to see.
I'm featured at 5:47 in blue with the white dragonfly's and socks and and number 2 on my left chest, for all my fans who were wondering. Also the jumbotron at 6:42.
Great job guys! My team made it in the rising stars SMR and won the first heat! It was awesome to see you race and break the record! What happened to the Ben Crawford vids though?
@@sambrasler6297 seems like they use air zoom victorys for 800-1609 and dragonflys for anything more. I think Colin prefers the dragonflys for the mile though. I used maxflys for 400-800 air victorys for the mile and dragonflys for everything else for reference.
From personal experience going into my senior year. It's all about consitancy running every day, I have dropped so much time just running everyday even when I'm not doing workouts.Also take your easy days easy you need that time to recover for a harder workout later on.
hey bruv, i know i'm not as good as lex or leo, but i run in college so i'll give my best advice to someone your age. just stay consistent in everything you do and find out what works for you. sleep, hydration, and diet are super important to make sure your body is properly recovered and functioning. do your stretching, lift once or twice a week, and take care of your body for injury prevention. and obviously you need to run in the offseason. if you dont you will lose so much fitness, if you run in the off-season you begin to stack training blocks and will almost always improve season to season until you reach your max potential. you have so much time to become a great athlete, so i wish you luck kid. always remember to believe you can do anything
Im a sophomore and have dropped from 21:52 down to 18:23 since my first meet of freshman year and I can say, running 5-6 times a week (2-3 easy runs of 5-7 miles, 2 track workouts with total of 4-6 miles, and a long run of 10 plus miles a week) has really dropped down my times A LOT. Since you're only in middle school, I would say stay on the lower end of the mileage though, only around 25-30 a week so you don't tear down your body, once you get in high school you'll want around 35, maybe 40, and possibly up to 60 by senior year
Showed my mom this video, she said, "Aww look at all those nerds, are they doing a fun runny thing for science." I said no, "They are the fastest high schoolers to ever exist in planet earth!" Ngl, runners just look like nerds, if I just saw them in public, I would think that they are a team of skinny gamers or something that has never touched grass. Honestly tho, its the beauty of running, only amongst our selves we appreciate, not like football or baseball.
Hey guys, congratulations u really deserved it! I have some questions can you answer it pls? Firstly: What are the watches that you guys wear while running? and the other questions is: How do you guys run while listening to music in your jbl speaker if you dont have your phone nearby, like on minute 12:25 of this video? Ty for the attention I enjoy your videos a lot!!!
Awesome vid guys... Lovin' the vids... My only question is how do you guys continue to get so much faster? is there a secret?? Keep it up Gents and team!
Hey Leo I saw that you had the toad singlet and it looks really cool but I don’t know what size to get I think I am similar to you what is your height/weight and what size did you get if you could help I would really appreciate it.
4 guys running average a 4:07 minute per mile pace is just unreal!
You guys are the phenoms!
Gee Willy, do ya think??????? : )

It's funny seeing the California phenoms in snow or rain, trust me guys it's not the apocalypse, great job in the relay though!
have you not seen nxn it was 40° an raining an they went 1 an 2 then won the meet
Obviously it’s not an apocalypse but it’s difficult to do stuff in those conditions if you can then good for you ig
It's so cool to see these videos because they will be so special for years to come. They are like documentaries for this elite squad!

Excellent job! Making history every time you guys run!
I would love to hear Leo's thoughts about his 57.3 quarter mile split! Congratulations it was an amazing race!
I love this video, it feels like a film or something, the music and the clips all come together so perfectly
Watching this the night before my trackmeet😎

What do Lex & Leo eat before a race? Nothing. "THEY FAST!"
You guys are actually great at vlogging
really impressive and well deserved. congratulations guys!
I like how you played your intro song for the race it really shows how deep this was chills
Everyone fangirling over you guys and getting pictures at arcadia was such a spectacle lol
You 4 are on fire! 💥🔥☄️
Lex and Leo are amazing! I love them!
I watched it Live and was impressed by the teamwork.
Love the intro! Gets me hyped every time
Great video! Awesome work in all the races!
Thank you! 👍
Congrats guys can’t wait to see the video I hope you guys had fun
