The Day After and the Growl : Speakers & Interviews

hey looks like he'd be related to Angelina Jolie

Gabe owns every distance record at my high school except for one, the one we broke this year, the 4x8. Gabe's the man.

i was with him in annecy france 10 years ago when he bought that hat. Not kidding. he is funny.

Gabe Jennings is just awesome. You silly high school kids need to stop talking s*** and get back to working on the 4:45 mile PR...

Sorry he makes me laugh...

he is awsome. a great guy. personality. something other us guys lack in my opinion

the new shay xc spike is on the second row in the middle under the endorphin omg i want it

Who cares if he's gay? Do you have any problems with gay people?

What's with some of you people calling Gabe a
_homo_?
I guess that there are a lot of juveniles posting
here, probably uncertain of their sexuality...

this guy has a great attitude. so many pros seem to be very bland, for this guy competition and running is a emotional/physical adventure. he having a lot of fun and sharing his joy with everyone, rather than just focusing on his goals

r

The sport of running needs more characters like this. Khadevis Robinson and Gabe Jennings= great interviews. Lets be honest, webb may whoop his @$$, but webs got no charisma

%u201CIt%u2019s a painful process. There%u2019s just no other way to be a champion. It%u2019s just what we do.%u201D- Gabe Jennings

nice to see that he's found his edge again... AND that growl thing works... really... just try it. :)

about 5 mins in.. dave chappelle on calling people crazy

Jennings is the man! You have got to be a little crazy to do something no one thinks can be done. If I were Webb or Lagat I would be most scared of this guy because he isn't intimidated by their name power and he will do anything to beat them.

what a great way to put it. it's a battle field.

hes gay

What a selfish waste of talent.

What a selfish waste of talent.

hes awesome

what a wierd ass dude, get some mental help buddy and fix your voice. K thx.

this dude is hungry. you gotta be empathetic...i think we all understand what its like being on the outside looking in even when ur busting your ass w/ complete dedication.

He is a very odd character, but I kind of like/agree with him.

Too much thinking and whining. If he wants to run well then he's got to train to be able to do it. All the rhetoric is a waste of time and energy.

this guy is off his rocker ...

what a straight up wackjob

this guy is suuuuuch a waaaaaaackjob. "im shooting darts at their faces" freak

what a flaming homo

this guy reminds me of devendra banheart.

maybe my new favorite runner

i dont like this guy

nichols324- the blue/gold spike is a cross country racing spike dedicated to ryan shay, it is called, obviously, "the Shay XC" and will weigh 6.9 oz, with a 6 spike outsole.

haha, you gotta love how someone is trolling "LEO"

Leo is a great humble guy and would never say anything like that.. What a bunch of crap. Good luck to Gabe anything can happen, but he is still insane

just say i'll do better next time

You know...Gabe is going to need to be better than in his prime just to mak the team. Don't forget that he is from an era when U.S runners didn't even make it out of the heats (at Olympic Games).

word

The man is trying to find ways to motivate himself to push through the pain barrier and perform at his max. I've heard NFL players make very similar comments about their opponents. It will be war to make the Olympic team, and Gabe understands it because he's successfully done it before (as opposed to the arm-chair detractors who have posted here).

So are those the new LDs or MDs on the wall? That blue/gold one is sick!

grrrrrrr

This guy is nuts, Ryan hall isn't nuts. There is a difference in the two.. Ryan talks about spirtual side of it.. This guy growls and moans.. You take meds for those kinds of things.. Good luck to him, but he is weird

even thoguh you're weird. You're absolutely right about all of this.

all weirdness aside, i think jennings has some great points. it seems accurate what he says about running off a bad race and needing to get a good race in. i love that he is often thinking about beating his competition it seems like a great motivator. best of luck to him!

to be fair ryan hall sounds pretty weird when he talks about his running

then again, hall is our top marathoner

I have never even been on letsrun, it seems like a negative place.

This must be the fastest-posting video in flotrack history. Look at all this...in ONE day! I'll admit, he is one helluva strange ranger (always was), but all the hate is starting to read like letsrun. Please folks, let's NOT let flotrack become another letsrun...god i hate that site.

"4 or 5 times a day i'll just growl" hahaha so he's been hanging out with DMX i take it?

man this guy is one of the weirdest and dumbest motha f.... ever hahaha

"I felt like I was in 3:53 shape" hokay there Gabe. Ill give it to you, that was a nice opener for you but to say you had 5 seconds more is a touch hard to believe.

I won't hate on him as a runner, but he is just retarded.. Sure he can make the team if he busts his ass, anything can happen. But he is for sure weird and nobody can argue that.

I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay...
Know your enemy!

he doesn't have a prayer! I think if Lagat & Webb watch this they will be ROTFL.

who else wants a gabe the growler t-shirt?

what a beatnik.

I ran against Gabe Jennings in high school and it is great to see him doing go in the pros. I wish Gabe all the luck this year.

I am don't particulary like to hate on other runners or anyone at all. If you are going to make a comment you should back it up with facts not just attack the guy for the way he is, thats just busch league.

With this being said, it looks like his major problem to me is his expectations. I mean yeah it would be nice to beat Webb and Lagat but come on. He seems to set himself up for dissappointment which sends him into "depression". If he was so in tune with his body he would now what he could really run and realize the best possible place maybe third and shoot for that. Aiming to beat Webb and Lagat is only going to set up more unreal expectations for this guy.

All you people hating on Gabe can say what you want, you can only put yourself down. He's obviously happy and having fun, leave the man to enjoy his life however he choses.
PS stop being haters, you're ruining the world.

i like how he open he is, excited to see him run.

It makes sense now... He sucks so much cause he is growling during a race

He's thinking about it way too much. Just run man, just run. I can't wait to see him actually growl on the track, wow.

Was his major drama?

I admire his spiritual balance. Ganja!!

yeah, he did take 2nd in 2006. Webb was out sick and injured all season. Legat won, and Leo was a young man in 3rd.. Leo has run what seems to be easy all season long.. Just fast enough to win.. Rumor is he hasn't really started that much speed work and is getting ready for the olympics.. So Gabe needs to watch his ass talkin smack like this

I want to see Webb and Jennings screaming and growling at each other. That would be a good battle. The scream vs. the growl!!! AGGGRRGGGHHHHHHH hahah

can you say nutball?

Gabe is the man!

A lot of you people are extremly negative. Why not accept the guy for who he is, or not, and leave it at that? Atleast give the guys some respect. He is a lot faster than most of the people who are insulting him will ever be.

even run the b standard?....i like his attitude, but it doesn't seem to be working for him....drop this mentality and do what you were doing when you made the olympic team.

someone link the webb "scream" video please.

He's dressed like a beatnik.

I love this guy!
He did get 2nd at USAs in 2006.

cant is a four letter word my friends. im sure gabe knows that too and hes gonna use whatever negative energy is sent his way and work it to his advantage

Mark you are more famous than this guy. the only reason I remember him is beacuse in the book "sub 4" he is in a picture racing webb.. I will quit running the day he makes the olympic team in 2008

Jennings is so ridiculous. I think once flotrack becomes the first 24/7 track and field channel, it should do a reality series on him and just follow him around. But anyways unless he learns how to run 3:35 again, and god helps him out by hurting Webb, Lagat, Manzano, Lukezic, Lomong, etc. the man has no chance.

never say never to this guy. He could pull off something crazy. He also seems to have the right mind frame to do something special..
Gabe, you are the man

Maybe he should take up Dart throwing as a professional sport, cause beating Alan Webb/Legat/Leo is impossible. You couldn't even make our scrub usa indoor team.. No chance in hell you make the big boy squad

Mark I know you were scared?

What the hell.. This is that guy on the high school team that thought he was a lot better than he was. Haha, I love how he talks about racing, its classic.. "BATTLE" "Beating Alan Webb" "Wheres Legat" "Shooting Darts" "REVENGE"??? When has he ever gotten revenge.. I think the USATF should have a mental scan before competition. haha, this is the retard with the drums.. I remember that crap. But does anyone remember the 2000 team. We had 1 marathoner, that was the year of suck for the USA. What is with the growling, he sounds like a retard.. Growl??? You might be growling at 600m to go but they will be at 550m to go. I hope he watches this video and realize how stupid he sounds. Its Alan Webb(american record holder) its Kip Legat(1500m world champion, 1500m american record holder) And its LEO (the badass) Shave your face and get into road racing so you can make some money...

its been 14 long years. not 8. real athletes start counting after high school like Alan Webb

he should have never went to college. Now he is intertwining revenge with a big vocabulary. Oh yeah, he is a threat. lol

The only way this guy makes the oly team is if he moves to another country....

Gabe-I hate to break it to you buddy but there is no way feasibly possible that you have a remote chance of taking down Webb or Lagat. I would say it would be in your best interest to just focus on your on performance and your own training and do the best you can possibly do. I believe you can make the olympic team and you got what it takes but IMO you should cut this whole growling act out of your script. Webb is probably sitting at his house laughing at how clownish you are.

I want was hes smoking

I think he puts a little too much pressure on himself, to the point that it could be interfering with the quality of his running. there's a difference between being confident and expecting so much out of yourself that the slightest perceived problem gets you angry and makes you do even worse. I say this all from experience.

Gabe Jennings is nuttier than a squirrel turd.
I want what he's on.

Jeez i couldnt stand losing to this freak. Keep on shooting darts Gabe and best of luck

He looks like those older people back in the day that did poetry like Shakesphere. He sounds very much like them too!

Wow, the scary thing is I think I know what he is talking about. He just puts its out there a little different, to say the least...

"The nature of our sport is faith"
Great Quote

haha who tagged this as John Harding??? Clearly john does more of a grunt than a growl

he wants to avenge, not revenge

this video gets me pumped up! good luck this year!

Just because he's different doesnt make him a freak. Freaks are the one's who break world records. I think I will be growling this year as well...uhm...perhaps not in a shoe store though.

I know just what you are talking about! It was in the 2000 games and I was a mere 10 years old when I saw that...I also like how he is only asked like 3 questions and he talks for about 8 minutes

How could you not like this guy?

Can somebody please post a link for the interviews a few years back when Gabe and Stember qualified for the Games and the following trials when he talks about looking into El G's eyes. Can't find them anywhere.

money

freaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

I love the spirit! I would love to see Gabe mix it up in July! Good luck!

This guy's awesome, haha. And he's from Ontario!
