Jake Morse UT Workout - Episode #21 : Speakers & Interviews

Man! What happened with old Jake at the USATF Nationals meet in the SC Finals? He was rolling and then the wheels just came off with him running into the barrier! Hard luck that is for sure, but he definitely looked to be tired from so many steeple races in such a short time span. Just sort of like Kyle Perry looking pretty worn out in the finals at USATF Nats.

its weird to see all these athletes just running at local high schools, it makes them seem like real people... not running gods

Wow, congratulations on calling the winner. I was duly impressed when I looked at results and at Perry's nice win over the field and I remembered this comment. Excellent race for all to see.

sick shot of the condos under construction and the plane flying by at like 5:50...

also, i LOVE ANY workout that gets put up here... maybe a throws workout? i'd love to see some 80m US jav guys train.

Do a workout Wednesday with the Borlee twins!

this was a really good workout!!
and he's super cute!!!

hi

Coming from Austin, Texas, he really wasn't going that slow for the conditions. I actually train at the Austin High Track several times of the week. If you go anytime after 7am or before 7:30pm, it is so HOT that it is really hard to run, and if you must your times will be slower than normal. Give the guy a break.

Great workout. I really enjoyed it. Sprint or distance I love Workout Wendsday

This is ridiculous reading over these commetns. Last week, there was a great pole vault workout and people ed and complained. Now, there's a distance workout and people and complain. My god. Folks, let's remember something here....THIS SITE IS FFFRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE. You ought to thank Mark, Ryan, and the rest of the crew every time you post that there is ANY coverage of ANY event in all of track and field that does not have Carol Lewis' shrill vocie over it. Yeah, the guys who run the site are distance runners themselves. These are the events they understand the best and are closest to thier hears. WHO CARES?!?!?!? They've covered field events. They've covered sprinters. Sure, even as a distance runner, I'd like to see a little more variety. But seriously, I'll say it again....this site is free. get over yourselves.

his left arm swings way over the center of his body in the 300's.

If we're tallying votes you can count me as a distance runner who enjoys the work out videos as much as anyone. I like and prefer the distance work outs (especially from the pros) but enjoy getting some insight into the other events and specialists as well. Keep up the good work.

My money is on Perry after seeing the prelims. He is a lot smoother over the barriers then Morse. Morse is terrible over the barriers. First he skies them, then he twists and flails his arms about. Not good.

seriously, people want sprint workouts.
They involve only like 2 minutes of total sprinting and 2 hours of nothing. distance workouts are where it's at.

Go Jake! Good luck in Fayetteville! You are #1 and have a lot to be proud of, you've worked very hard and it has paid off and will continue too! You're the BEST!!!

Peace Out!!

it was tempo.....

it's a workout , not a race + he is doing it alone in a 90 degree weather. i doubt you could mantain that pace for a solo mile (4:51)

finally a distance workout!

14:34 is way slow
i doubt he'll be close to winning the steeple

A workout is a workout - a distance runner can learn from a sprint or pole vault workout and a visa versa. Think about that hurdle jumping that Kluft was doing - that was amazing.

are you serious? for a workout? at that pace he could have won almost any state meet in cross country in high school. obviously he's not in high school, but he also was doing a workout. seriously. you do that and tell me how it feels.

Rep Dat he ran the 3 mile at threshold not race pace or all out. your an idiot

you do it!

14:34 for 3 miles? did he stop and walk? cause thats pretty slow

That was awesome!

so im thinkin its been kinda weird to be number 1 this year?

Not true
Many sprinters are on flotrack including myself.
What makes distance runners "true track and field enthusist"?

if anyone is interested here is an article on jake in the dallas morning news. It's a good one.

GO JAKE!
Dallas News Article

i promise you more distance runners are on here watching.
All of us live for these workout wednesdays.
and when its a sprint workout we watch it to

AND ENJOY IT
distance runners=true track and field enthusist
just watch the workout and enjoy the art of running.
enjoy learing about an aspect of the sport you are currently very ignorant on
ignorance, ignorance, ignorance,
lets avoid it and transcend this rambling about what type of running you love to view
(=

I would definitely like to see more sprinting Workout Wednesdays.

#1 ranked longhorn?! are you guys forgetting tevan everett? he is ranked #1 in the nation in the 800m.

It's nice to see everyone giving their opinion. It helps the guys decide what videos to do. But stop bashing the guys that want only distance videos. It's a fact that just about everyone who comes to this site is a distance runner. I'm sure someone will reply that they are not, but 99 percent are. So when the local papers do huge articles about the sprinters doing 11 second runs, they want to go to a place where distance runners are appreciated. It's what brought me to this site. Distance guys need love too. When a week goes by where there is not a distance workout, they feel lonely. So let them give their opinion about the videos that cover non running(distance) stuff. I know I'm sad when I miss a good, hard, long, fast, great commentary, and great insight distance workout.

Go for it Jake you will make it. I was so glad I got to see your graduation and maybe I can get to Ark to see you take first. If there was anyone who deserves to win it is you. Your work and dedication is awesome. IWhen you amke it to the Olympics I would love to be there.
Love You, Nana S

looks very efficient. if only i had his form :/

Please don't ruin a perfectly good sport by encouraging event-factions.
Can we all just come together for a big metaphorical hug?
Track and Field: Gimme some love!

This distance runner watched the pole vault workout. All of it. Twice.

When you say "track is back" that basically refers to distance running is back. Sprinting has always been more popular than distance running. Couple that with the fact that Mark is a distance runner and badabing! You'll get a distance emphasis. I personally wish they would only do distance workouts. Some guys I'd like to see are Solinsky, Fam, Arkansas, Leer, Jenkins, and Jager. Just incase Flotrack needs some ideas on where to go for future ones.

I thought last weeks pole vault workout was great as was this. I was impressed with the 3 mile tempo time. Only wish I could run that fast. I would really like to know what kind of workout sprinters do.

Please don't make all distance runners look bad by posting something like that.

spirnting is awesome...real running

have you guys ever realized that it's workout wed. not distance running workout wed....and flotrack..track is back...that encompasses every track and field and running event. I love that they change it up to encorporate field workouts and sprinter workouts, its genious. It def. helps grow their fan base to not just the stereotypical skinny white dudes in highschool (i am one of them) so back off and appreciate what's playing in front of you. Don't request a workout, like they are some magical ponies that do tricks when you want them to.

Awesome workout! Good Luck at Nationals Jake

a lagat workout would be super cool

Stick with distance workouts please.

I love how he says he was a runt... YOU RAN 4:11 in high school.. Shut up Jake! YOUR A BEAST!!!! Agg-town pride, go for it buddy

Someone gave an opinion that he didn't like the video. Everyone jump on him like he's the worst guy ever. Or we can just let him have his own opinion. Personally, I really liked this video. But I didn't like last weeks. But that's ok. I think there's not enough distance workouts and the other guy thinks there isn't enough sprinter workouts. We're both right. It's our opinion. If everyone just said "Wow", I guess nobody would argue.

Great Workout! Keep the distance workouts coming...it's always a letdown when non-distance workouts are posted!

Congrats Jake you have worked hard, you are very dedicated and we all are so very proud of you. Reach for the highest goal and you will achieve it. The sky is the limit go for it you have all of us behind you and wishing you the best.

Awww I was really hoping for a Jenny Barringer workout...

why don't you help out if you think you can get something done.

none of these are distance....

yea jake morse is a great distance runner but you do need to cover track equally. good call.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
THIS IS GOOD FOR DISTANCE BUT THEN AGAIN ALL THE WORKOUTS HAVE BEEN DISTANCE EXCEPT FOR POLE VAULT.

LOOOK AT HOW MANY SPRINTERS YOU HAVE DONE IN TWO YEARS.
SAnya Ricahrds and WAllace Spearmon. THATS ITTTTTTTTTT
YOU HAVE LIKE 60 distance workouts
please cover track equally

It looks like he starts with the same crazy exaggerated arm motions as Leo M. Is that a Texas thing?

Great WOW-seems like a cool dude. I hope he does well this week

jake the snake rofl

good luck Jake!

It's funny, I was looking at the splash page right before I clicked the "play" button, and I couldn't figure out what track that was. Then when it started playing, I said, "duh," it's Austin High, right where you've been working out twice a week for the last six months... dummy!

7:34, love the walker in the back :)

snaked one again!

... you do it to me everytime. WOW, thank you.

Jake has really come into his own over the last 18 months or so. Go Jake, go Horns!!

best wow ever

No lie, Yes!, I was about to type that same thing. Go Big 12!

jake morse is boss

wow indeed.

wow
