Episode #6 - Go TIGERS!

because this site i think was made primarily for distance runners

ReeF, why 'should' he run on his own? It's an out and back on a straight road and coaches like to see exactly how the athletes are going during each effort. Take a look at the coach's frame and rethink your suggestion of getting on the bike with Matt.......riding with somebody running maybe 2:45/km repeats is not as easy as you might think! I've used the bike a lot, but not everybody can do this, and if they've decided that the horn is useful then there's nothing wrong with it. Having said that, Matt was using his watch for splits, so it's probably more useful to use the horn when theres a bigger group workout going on.

Great job Ryan.

the coach doesnt like the guys to always use watches. he likes them to run off feel. so instead of someone constantly looking at the watch to see when they need to stop, etc... the coach lets them know with the beep of a horn. also he measures the distance because its a common loop and they see how far they get compared to weeks prior. thats it really, the guys like having the coach out there

I like how everyone that posted didn't talk about the workout.
Clowns man. I don't understand why the coach was driving behind him the whole time.Why couldn't he run on his own? Better yet,have the coach bike with him. Someone explain the reasoning behind that driving deal.

That was my motivation to run fast while at Clemson, to stay ahead of the dust and exhaust. When Master P was riding dirty in the Van at Issaqueena, he showed no mercy for the weak. I really thought he was going to run someone over at some point during my time there.

Wow, that video brought back some memories of running out there.

colorado workout? wetmore is amazing

i think that honking would get annoying though.
pretty sick.

Hughes is so awesome... 'puts hair on my chest' you can only say that if your awesome.

Canadians don't say aboot. They say about but the ou is stronger and emphasized. It's sounds more like abowt. If you ever listen to people with Scottish accents they pronounce it in a similar way.

This guy is a sanimal. On and off the court.

Nice

Lets see some slam dunk action on here

i love workout wednesday!!!!!

now let's see another legendary matt...leeder that is.

Whoa....lets get back to the video and leave this combat for some other time; it's been my experience that as runners Amer/Canad all get along 'cause of our obsession with the sport

No, he said about. I recommend taking a gander here for those who hear "aboot"...http://www.yorku.ca/twainweb/troberts/raising.html

Notably, see this:
To American ears, the Canadian pronunciation of about often sounds like aboot, but this is only an illusion. Because the more familiar pronunciation of /aw/ is articulated with the tongue in a low position, and because it raises to a mid position in Canadian English when the vowel precedes the voiceless obstruents listed above, speakers of other varieties of English will immediately detect the vowel raising, but will sometimes think that the vowel has raised farther than it actually does, all the way to /u/, which is a high vowel--hence the mishearing (and not-quite-right imitation) of this pronunciation as aboot.

Regardless of the fact that Americans (aren't Canadians American? just a thought) are ignorant and insulated, he DEFINITELY said "aboot." If you can't hear that, you probably say "aboot" too.

i agree lol he said aboot for sure

he definitely said aboot

distance is great..stay with it!

sorry...misspelled "ignorant"

This is a public service message to the United States. Despite popular belief, MOST Canadians do not say the word "A-Boot" instead of saying "about." I don't hear this Matt guy say aboot and I've never heard any other Canadian say that word before...just like I have never heard an American say woof instead of wolf. Please stop trying to make it part of our national identity. All it does it perpetuate another erroneous falsehood - that all Americans are an irgnorantly insulated people. "Aboot" is "About" with a Maritime accent. Period.

What is there to watch in a sprint workout? Starts, maybe some stretching, a few strides.... Yawn.

haha he said aboot

yeah, 3;57 they ran. the next week clark ran a 3:47 PR and Hughes ran a 8:59 steeple PR

I think it should be noted that both Matts ran in a 1500 the next day at the Clemson meet and both ran 3:50's high!

after warmup and cool down it was about 12 miles total. the workout itself was 45 minutes and covered 8.6 miles (3mins hard/1:30 easy x10). the 1:30 recovery was at 6:00min pace

so how many total miles was this?

why is there always distance workouts? try some jumps, throws, and sprints too.

yeah i know, but he's an old teammate of mine so i had to give him a hard time

"7 to go" that's gotta be really helpful.

Hughes is the new McDreamy

Peter Pan's lost boys?? this guy is high

they better not fall or the van will own them

COME ON POST A SPRINTERS WORKOUT VID
