That part with Sandi and Sage was epic lmao!

"God may need a rest day, but not me" LOL

Still one of the best running channels out there! I like how he eliminates all the superficial running crap (like the endless miles of training) and sticks to the "serious" stuff, like how one looks on Strava and social media. Keep up the great work!! 👍

I absolutely love this! About 15 years ago when I was a collegiate athlete I told my coach before I signed on that I didn’t run on Sundays (this was due to religious reasons not really athletic reasons). He said that was fine but once I signed on he was constantly trying to force me to run on Sundays. He used peer pressure, shaming me in front of the entire team on several occasions, telling me I wasn’t as dedicated as the rest of the runners but I never backed down. Now the benefits of taking a rest day is common knowledge amongst all runners, and it just makes me so happy!

Love VDOT adjustment 🤣🤣🤣🤣! Your videos are the best !

[BigMo]

"God may need a day of rest but I don't" Bruh.... LOLOL

[RunningOhioWithBlake]

These serious runner videos are golden. I just wish they weren't so relatable...I'm so guilty of making sure to add "easy day" or "recovery" to my slow miles on Strava. I have a reputation to uphold!

"I'll probably build a plan that's too aggressive and hurt myself in the long run."

Definitely been there.

[danward]

Haha this is awesome. It looks like you have been given access to the spreadsheet where I keep track of my marathon training plan!

[PoetWithPace]

As a serious runner, todays 19km long run should of been taken up to 21.1 so that I could say I ran an easy half marathon training run 🏆🏆🏆

[cpruns]

These are amazing! I actually signed up for strava 90% because of your videos. I was like- I have to know better what this guy is talking about and it's all on point. Your videos make me laugh so hard at myself because I do half of this stuff:)

[codyb]

I love the intro music. It gets me psyched to drop hundreds of dollars on expensive shoes and race entry fees.

[markfrock]

"God may need a rest day, but not me." HaHa that's gold, so using it!

[OmahaTonyG]

The weekly mileage number resets so I have to get right back out there……so true and I am guilty of this.

[sarabt]

I wish every person I follow on strava could see your videos

[Kelly_Ben]

🤣 😂 Pure gold. I can relate to the strava, but I embrace Mondays as the church of the rest day. Then another few whenever. I have a lot of work to do to become a true Serious Runner.

[TheLongHaulCoach]

😂😂😂😂 best thing I’ve watched all week!!! Thank you for the laughs!

[thepacepusher]

😂😂😂😂 God may need a rest day but I do not. The best serious runner line of all time

[levandmarthapolyakin-aaron]

Yeah, Sage and Sandi😂😂… I guess I’m not very-top-level Serious because I don’t pay attention to my weekly mileage total, but I compensate for that by frequently mentioning my age because my age-graded times are So Very Serious. I also periodically drop that MYCOACH held the 2nd FKT for the Tahoe Rim Trail and was only recently bumped to 3rd by Killian, so since someone that Serious believes in me and is responsible for my plan, I must be Sufficiently Serious. Or am I?

[LuisBecerra]

😂🤣😂😆 Sandi is definitely not amused by “No Days Off” but then again good thing Sage is basing everything out of social media 👍🏼 😂😆🤣
