Oklahoma State Sunday Run : Speakers & Interviews

more of these please dudes

Well, German was listening to T-Payne and Lil' Wayne, which in my opinion is the worst kind of rap/hiphop/music ever made. Besides, Colby said he had AC/DC on his ipod, so he listens to more than just rap.

Edit: I SPY THE DH

While I personally dont run with an ipod very often, I think they are fine. That is a long time out running. my team talks usually but we run(no pun intended) out of topics eventually.

though if your being interviewed it would seem polite to turn them off for a second or two

Thanks man....didnt see it at the side there!!

ross, the song is T.H. White "1973"

Awesome vid!!
Anyone know the song at the start?

seriously guys? obviously i was being sarcastic to the numerous previous statements about german and colby wearing iPods. i sometimes wear an ipod while i run

Pdx: how is these roads crap?

those dirt roads are nice. soft surface, good footing, and ability to cruise. its kinda like the roads that the hanson-brooks team runs on in michigan

God, I can't imagine having to do my long run on that crap. What a terrible place.

The other guy was a former OSU runner. Just out for a jog with the guys.

They run in groups with ipods, now that socializing.

This is ridiculous.

they should do thsi evrey week

this is what Toni Reavis did in the early eighties, with a tape record jogging a long with Bill Rodgers.... check out http://www.runnerville.com (Toni&Matt show)

what is the song title in this video?

So, this video should have been titled "interview with the freshmen of OK State." OK, Vail and another couple guys might not have been there, but why nothing from Chirchir or Kosgei, or the other guys who have made this team so good.

who's the guy running in pants?

Thank you Peter Miller,

"long run after a day of recovery", finally someone that understands the concept of recovery, I agree with the pace you mentioned, my only concern was the OSU guys running that pace for a long run the day after a race, if they had taken Sun as an easy recovery day and then ran their long run at sub 6min pace it would have made more sense to me

ipods on group run? what the...oh right, freshmen.
they'll learn.

dave smith is one of the top coaches in the country, young or old balls. the guy could make $hit look like tiramisu

oh you know those germans always quiet and reclusive.

The top guys on my team run sub 6 for 20 miles - its really not that big of a deal. We do our long run on Monday though to get a day of recovery in, but 6:20 is still a pretty average pace, even for me and I'm not even that fast. Bernard Lagat is from my school - he said he doesn't even count mileage that is over 5:30 pace, and his tempos are under 5:00. That is how elite runners do it - 6:20 is far from elite.

i think that guy next to jankowski is a new scandinavian kid that just got there.....i heard he's a sub 13:30 guy. they are gonna be sooooo sick!!

5'6".....bekele can't hang ;)

David Wells,

for your sake I hope your measurements on your long run routes are short (obviously they are!!!) or why were you not in Beijing competing because only an elite/world class runner would consider running 6min pace on a training run, come on get real

im in high school and even i do a 6min average for my 12mile long runs and that is just relaxing. im sure at there level that 620 for 14.5 isnt that bad.

lol they dont give any water to ryan

ryan how tall are you? you look like a little white bekele

who was the other tall guy next to jankowski?

What time did they start there long run?

wow
i didnt say i disliked ok state,
i didnt say anything bad.
alli asked was to get more in depth behind the scene
coverage on some other up and coming teams. like portland, alabama, etc.
we all know oregon and ok state are dominant, and we see a lot of them.
but to call me B**** cause i asked, isnt that a little overboard?

the belief after a hard run/race to do a long runto aid in blood flow to legs is hogwash!!!, the only thing to do the day after a race or workout is recover and a long run at that pace for these runners is not recovery

my point was for a sub 13/sub 27 guy recovery is around 6:00-6:20 pace and correct me if I am wrong but the OSU runners are nowhere near these times so therefore they are running too fast for a recovery run, why not one or two real easy runs on Sun and then do the longer steady run on Mon

I think the belief for a long run after a hard effort/race is that it helps improve blood flow to the legs, therefore increasing recovery or something in that sense. Anyone feel free to correct me.

Portland by the way is a legit contender, they're currently ranked fourth right now and Kinsella and Kipchumba are leading a good team. Also there's not a lot on Portland either.

6:20 pace if you are sub 13/sub 27 guy???? are you serious?? that is ridiculous. if you can run 6:20 as a D1 runner then there is an issue. do some research on how fast some of the world's best do their runs. when you are in the kind of shape these guys are in, sub 6:00 feels like a jog once you get going. just as some people are faster than others....some people's training paces are faster than others. pretty simple thing to grasp

ipod is a bad idea when being interviewed. but what about normally? on daliy runs? do most colleges let this go on?

14.5 miles at 6:20 and faster pace the day after race, doesn't appear to be a recovery run to me, why wouldn't they do a shorter recovery run the day after the race and the long run on Mon, makes more sense, I can never understand why these college/university coaches get there athletes to do a long run the day after a race, even if it is so called easy pace and there is no way these guys were running easy at this pace, unless they are all sub13 5k and sub 27 10k runners that pace is no where near recovery for a 14.5 mile run

Do Matt and Vail have an intimate relationship?

hear about someone else like portland? theres not a lot on okstate on flotrack at all, add that to the fact that theyre better than portland and I would say they're covering the right teams

Even worse than the fact he was listening to an ipod around teammates is that he was listening to 'TPain' and 'Lil Wayne'. Kinda embarrassing.

Can anybody say pre-madonna! Take the Ipod off and enjoy your team mates.

I too was very impressed with the interviewer..good work!

no hatin on Ryan, he is baller material

listening to your ipod while you are being interviwed=douche bags

aww i miss german

ipod!

ipod?

Awesome video. No one else does this stuff great job flotrack! And for all of you hating on the ipods get a life. Everyone in the modern world has ipod's i'm surprised they don't text while running. Who cares let them do what they do. Besides one of my former teammates was so dull and lame that I wish I had an Ipod for those 13 miles with him!!!

yeah mcniff

Just saying Id rather talk to my teammates then listen to an ipod when running with my TEAM. Some of the best conversations are had runs.

Ryan went to Clemson.. 9flat steeple guy.

Ryan you are so short!!!!

I got to commend Ryan on the 14.5 miler! And a 31:00 10k!?? Thats nuts. Where did Ryan go to college...since I'm assuming he ran there.

Why is Dave Janikowski runnig with them? He is old ballz, does he even know any of these guys?

p.s. Nice freaking i-pod German.

what kind of pace was this?

Ryan...what was the exact pace you guys were running? I love running on gravel road like that, not as much pressure on ones legs and shins.

Ryan, Dude you can run. You must have had those nice Brooks Shoes on you got in Memphis.
Great Job you and Flotrack are doing! Keep it up.
Bill

he looks hungover. I know I was after that race.

thanks for covering Ok. State, but its time we hear about someone else. like portland. they ran great but they get no coverage.

Thats 14.5 miles with a recorder in his hand too, GODAMN

I like the fact that Flotrack has been following OSU around. I'd love to see you guys follow a couple of the top teams all season so we can see the progress. This also makes it easier for someone like me to learn all the characters.

nice job on the video and run ryan.

I LUV U DH!!!!!!

Who doubted that ryan could run with them he runs a 31:00 10k.

great video guys

Damn Ryan.. you are tiny

this is just a jog/stroll for German! He could go on for miles with no stress or effort. Hope the ipods are used for listening to encouragement from their coach Dave Smith, instucting, motivating, pushing them etc. German needs to be worked harder or he may get bored and too laid back.

I think he got hurt in the Jamboree...rumor has it he is out 4 weeks minimum

Where was Vail? Didn't see him out there.

i love this guy!

not social...im sorry i didn't know these kids were being critiqued on how well they talk to each other while running. and get hit by a car....on that road...with the closest car being their coach follwing along side them?? are you serious???

its not being social. plus they could get hit by a car

what the hell is wrong with listening to an ipod when you run? Do you think they should hold hands and have a good cry when they run?

Ipods boys? Really? All these young kids don't know how to have a conversation apparently.

Many thanks to OK state, coach Smith-and ofcourse FloT very cool.

Where is that recent study? Sounds very interesting

lol "colby skipped right over me" your face was like aw man

haha, i got water soon after....it was all good, colby's the man

In a recent study, running with music that you don't have to hold with your hands raises your neural impulses which fires the neurons quicker, which in turn creates the "running High" caused by endorphins. It also makes a runner 30 times more efficient, why do you think you can't wear music in races. No namer, get your facts straight before you call out a # 2 ranked team in the country.

Yeah, I hear Matt has a thing for that Vail guy. He watches him sleep and takes care of him when he's sick.

Very cool way of interviewing.

colby looks like a now haha sorry ryan but good job

p.s. sweet video!

first off, how does an ipod make you run slower?? i would like to see the proof behind that

second, who cares if they run with music. they are running upwards of 2 hours, maybe they like to jam out. is it really that big of a deal.
third, at some track meets they play music while races are being run...look at all the meets from europe that flotrack covered. those were awesome with the music

omg are they really running with ipods? omg like seriously? that makes you run super slow. i like cant believe theyre doing that

Ipods..seriously?

flotrack is teh awesome

why are they running with ipods when running with thier team

they run with music? thats stupid.

all those cemetery runs helped you keep pace. solid.

That may just be the best Flotrack video yet. I'm impressed that Ryan could keep up--that's like 6:20 pace for 14.5 miles!

i enjoyed how colby skipped over you on the water.
