Mark - UnCut : Speakers & Interviews

Our Sport has along ways to go but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

I to have wondered if Flotrack is sponsored or funded in someway. I think your living a runner%u2019s dream, just going around watching races and getting to talk to the best and the wisest of our sport

Does Flotrack have roster? What does it take to become an official contributor?

this may be a personal question, and kind of stupid i guess, but i m new to flotrack and i just wanted to know like how your getting to all these meets and places? does flotrack have sponsors? its a .org so i m guessing its not, but Mark what your doing is sick, this allows us to get close to the athletes and realize that they are human and sometimes begin to befriend them, unconciously

Mark, I would love for you to track down and interview the infamous Italian Hadd from the LetsRun forum. He had some very interesting views on training, similar to Lydiard. Thanks for all your hard work. Love the site.

Mark,
You should try to get an interview with that young australian runner that is breaking some of Buster's records. Would be cool to add some more upcoming youth to the site!

Mark, you continue to amaze me. You rock!

I like buster's youtube videos

Hahahah i agree with Jolly roger about a buster workout. That big clown! Im so proud of ritz for taking that big clown out at healthy kidney:---)

i cant wait to see all this happen. good luck.

You Go Flo

P.S. there is no way to make this website any better but if I think of something I will write it.

I love this website. It's very motivational to watch people work hard and succeed. I love running!

Great site. Very inspirational. Makes me want to get out a camera and contribute, then do a long, hard run on my favorite course. ;-)

I am currently trolling the internet and stumbled upon this nifty website called flotrack, you should check it out it looks promising. I left some addresses for some of the kids that handed out flyers at Mt.Sac in the front pocket of your Reebok bag, I know bad time to tell you. Also I think you need to shave.

I love this site. I watch it for motivation before I run. Keep it up! You guys are helping American running more than you know.

A day without FLotrack is like a day without a run, it just is not complete. Mark you have touched the lives of so many in such a positive way, you really have no idea!

crzy255,

Sorry about that, but make sure you keep on me so I remember to get it to you.

Mark Flo

Mark I was one of those guys that handed out flyers at the mt. sac meet. No worries tho i know your a busy man i just want to sport the shirt once spring time comes around. Love the site keep up the great work!!!

Mark - thanks for what you're doing. Keep pursuing your dream. This is really fun. I like that most comments and criticisms are kept in a fairly positive light. Your access to the big names in running gives us insight otherwise unavailible. You're helping the sport. Thanks

thank YOU! for your hard work and dedication to bring all of us that are at home the feeling of going home after practice going online to check flocasts as if it was a channel, wish flocast will one day be a channel for all of us to see! thank you Mark

mark i would really like to thank you for what you're doing. these interviews and workout videos really keep me going when things are tough in my training. you are doing a great thing for the sport of running. keep it up.

Mark, all i can say is thanks man. You've helped us all out with our sport so much. I am so excited for the future. I actually meet/saw you at "the running school" and realized that you came all the way over here to make a video of just high school runners (and Tim Broe). Its awesome that you have the dedication to see the far future of running. thanks

what a monster...

Mark, you HAVE to get a Buster workout/uncut video!!! With his personality and off the wall comments it would certainly be one of the greatest videos ever in the history of flotrack...and you have some damn good ones already! Ohh and will you be in San Diego for XC USA's to record Ryan Hall's win? Well I'm Hoping he wins!

Mark,
You are Fabulous. Make sure you try some 'hokey pokey' icecream in NZ - it's yummmmm :)

Why does everyone care so much of how he funds the site? the site is awesome and he does not make us do anything. Like Mark said, they created a platform for us to grow the sport and Terry you call it "work", I don't call entering a contest to win a trip to the Olympics or putting your videos up for the world to see work. Either do it or don't and stop pretending like he is asking you to work.

Mark...how do you find money to fund the site with zero advertising? Is the goal to sell the site to another company? I can't imagine that you would want to work for free forever. It's only a fair question since you're asking the community to also work for you.

mark perchè sei andato in america?qui in italia abbiamo perso una persona fantastica...!

Thanks for all the words of encouragement!
We really appreciate it. 08 is going to be great but we cannot do it ourself. If we really want to make a dent we have to work together. We are past the hardest part. We all have gotten this ball rolling so now lets take it to the next level!!

Mr. Norcal shoot me a message on Flotrackr and we can get you involved.

Track is Back!

Later,

Mark Flo

Mark, you and your guys are beasts!! I'm psyched for 2008 on Flotrack. TRACK IS BACK!

@ mike in louisville... check out http://www.flocasts.org/flotrack/archive.php
videos archived by day. its not yet where i want it to be but we r working on it.

I apologize for the poor grammar.

Mark, you are by far the greatest man on the planet. I have erected a shrine to praise your work, and your ruggedly handsome perfect looks. If I were Buddhist I would meditate for years so that I could come back to earth reincarnated as you, or at least in tour likeness. In my hometwon, I am petitioning at my local government to chisel your name into the courthouse for eternity so that mankind will always know of your deeds. As I am considering he candidates for next years presidential election I ponder why Mark "Flotrack" does not run for office and be elected unanimously by the American people. Congress could then pass a law to declare you demigod/ruler of the universe. Having accomplished those two minor feats, you would make track and cross country season national holidays. Too summarize my feelings towards Flotrack and its divine ruler Mark Floreani, It is the greatest thing ever. Exclamation point. And if you disagree whatever evil afterlife exists is laughing at you histerically because it just received a text of who the next member is.
By the way, How can I help Mr. Flotrack? I would like to be a part of your team.

The first time I came to Flotrack, it was after I clicked a link from letsrun for videos of the US XC Championships in Boulder. As soon as I watched those races and interviews, I was hooked. Flotrack is so awesome. I feel so lucky to be a part of it now. I'm looking forward to 2008! Once Mark has his Black Cactus T-shirt, he will be very stylish.

Mark is a Beast

All I have to say, is that I love this site-thank you..oh,and I can help you with the style..

There has to be a better way to sort the archived stuff. I think right now the only way to see it is by name. It would be great if we could sort by number of views, date, or something. It seems like videos sort of get "lost" or hard to find once they are off the front page.

Dear Mark,

I have been truly inspired by your work. I watch the videos on flotrack to become a better runner. I am a student of the sport and I consider myself to be a very technical with my running. I watch the interviews to develop my philosophy, and use the races for inspiration. A Buster workout would definately be interesting. I know there are a lot of Buster fans out there. Flotrack kicks donkey-butt. Thanks Mark and the rest of the FLOtrack crew for all of your hard work and dedication. You are truly innovators of your age.

Sincerely,
Inspired Runnner

I've been watching since the first Colorado wkout video and its gotten better everyday. Inspiring stuff

so how did u learn how to make the website. did u pay someone to design it or do u know how to do web designing.

your work has made me a more knowlageable and inspired runner

Good job Mark.
The one thing that I am curious about is how flotrack is financed. I mean, the website doesn't have any advertising, and it doesn't cost anything to use.

Sweet. It's cool hearing these behind the scenes stories like with ian dobson and wetmore. This would make a good monthly feature. Next you should talk about how your euro trip was put together.

Yeah....
Sometimes I get the urge but I am training for Beijing. The Flotrack 800 has moved from Lueven, because the Stadium will not be able to hold all the fans and press, to Beijing. It is scheduled for early to mid August in Beijing, so if I learned anything from Alan Webb's words of wisdom after the Flotrack Leuven 800, it was that I needed more style.If you look at this video it shows I need a lot of work. Seriously though I heard T Mahon and Brad Yewer are training hard and Andrew Kastor is still on his victory binge in Ibiza.


If you have no idea what I'm talking about search "flotrack 800"

Mark Flo

Still hurting from this

But I am getting ready for the Flotrack Beijing 800. I hear Brad Yewer is training like a mad man

Hey mark when are you going to start running again?

Being around these athletes all the time has to get you itching to get back out there on a consistent training regimine doesnt it?

Flocasts is goin' places! Cant wait to see New Zealand / Australia stuff

I love the vid. It is always nice to see who is behind the camera as well as the athletes. This is great! I love this site!

GREAT JOB! I grew up in the days when the attention given to track was simply the results page in the back of the Sports section. Wow, to wake up and watch Cross Country, Track and Marathons...its Heaven!

Sweet Vid floski... big things in 08 and beyond!!!

you and your crew are doing a fantastic job! thanks so much! looking foward to seeing video of the big mazungo!

the videos are much better than the blogs.
you are awesome Mark!

Keep up the hard work Mark and Company!

My high school coach first introduced me to flotrack. He invited me into his office to view the Colorado video with Wetmore. It's interesting to know the story behind that video and how flotrack has developed over the last year. Keep up the great work. Flotrack has truly been an amazing inspirational tool!

your awesome mark.

oh man, wonder if he remembers the PRE interview or Reebok!

ur the man Mark

Mark, I love all the interviews from today's top talent, but you should do more interviews with the guys from back in the day. All the great marathoners like Bill Rodgers Lindsay, Pfeffer, Curp, Sinclair, Virgin, Salazar, Cummings, Bjorklund, Durden, Meyer, etc. It would be great to see interviews from those guys.

Great video. When you have time for this type of blog it is great.

Mark, your work inspires me every day! Thanks for all you do, keep up the good work. More workout videos would be excellent.

Great Site. I'm on it several times a day. I was just wondering where the funding comes from?

Mark one of the best and I think that you should do an Uncut of Jonathon Riley. That would be awesome.

Mark man, you're awesome dude. Here's some criticism for you: you are doing a great job in revolutionizing this sport. Keep it up! You don't owe me a t-shirt, but let me know when you get them in so I can represent and give you money well deserved. Keep us posted on Black Cactus as well. Tee's are a powerful media outlet as well.

A buster interview would be amazing by the way. And if there was any way you could do a Haile Gebreselassie uncut, YOU WOULD BE MY HERO.

Thanks for everything and Good Luck in the future.

pull media babay!!!! The new theme in internet media. Love hearing about the genesis of the site. a huge contributor to the resurgence of "the running boom".

O man, I'm still up and lurking on Flotrack like always......Glad to see you in the wee hours of the morning Mark. This was cool.

Mark,

You are the man.

Forever.

We all appreciate what you do a lot. This site I feel is one of the springboards to a rebound like track has never seen before.

PS - I feel like more coaches interviews would be something a lot of people would want to see.

Mark, heroes are ordinary people who put forth extraordinary efforts. You are one of my heroes bruddah. Thanks for the inspiration and for the love that you bring to the sport, and to the community.

good luck in AU and NZ dont piss off craig again...haha
