Still find myself coming back to this vid a lot. Though it is little known I honestly consider it a masterpiece. Incredibly inspiring.

Everytime i feel discouraged i find myself back at this video. You are the embodiment of what a runner should be, and I have to thank you for helping so many of us with this great sport. Great to see how far you've come and hope to see you continue running even after college.

U still come back to this video?

I got introduced into xc as a Junior and the best I ran was a 20min flat 5k. I really wanted to improve and make it to regionals for my Senior year so I worked my ass off and ran a 17:38 at a quite difficult course. Unfortunately a couple days before the Districts race I fractured my knee and I fractured it even more by running the Districts race and tore a cartilage. My dream of running regionals was crushed and I stopped running for about 5 months due to my knee and feeling down. Now I am back on my feet putting in some light work. Great inspiration! Keep on grinding 🏃

It's not a cross country meet without middle aged mom's jogging around from one part of the course to another screaming while trying to catch their breath

wow great job man! 133 at regionals to 2nd at state thats awsome!!!

This is seriously inspirational. Like, this instantly changed my mood from feeling drained to feeling motivated. It's just incredible watching this, I'm gonna head out for a run right now!

Your story never fails to inspire me. I'm a freshman new to cross country and my best time this year was a 21:49. Hearing about your improvement keeps pushing me to work hard. Good luck with the rest of your company, KZread, and running career!

I hope you read this, but I just wanted to say this is my favorite video of yours. I’ve been on your channel for the longest time watching your videos, and it took me awhile to understand that you’ve moved on for the benefit of your life. I am a cross country runner in high school and you are the reason why I am still running. My motivation and passion from the sport comes from you. I understand that you are a different person now, but I will keep watching your videos and supporting you through the way. You’ve come along way since this race, thank you. Hopefully down the road we can have a conversation through dm.

Literally my favorite video of yours and that’s saying a lot ryan

Hard work pays off, you deserve it Ryan! Love your videos!

I came 9th here 😂 I didn’t know Ryan would blow up like this congrats!

Thanks for making amazing and inspiring videos because you helped me become a better runner.

Respect bro this really inspired me no joke

Inspiring improvement. I went from high 21 first race Fresh yr to mid 16:29....but yours blows mine out of the water. Definitely makes for a better story to see someone like you. "Started from the bottom, now we here."

Hey Ryan! I'm an XC runner from MA, I wanted to say thanks for posting your vids! They are really inspirational!! Also, last year (also 2016) my high school team won the state meet for Massachusetts. Our team name is the Raiders as well. Just a funny coincidence.

This is the best quality I’ve ever seen in a vlog👍 Great race, keep up the good work :)

I have mad respect for my ace at my school but I wanna be a real fast runner to I just gotta keep grinding it out! Let's all get better to gather

Hey Ryan, you probably don't know me but we've raced before at regional track and this year at state xc, I'm from the team of Hebbronville and I was thinking maybe we could do a colab video this year at regional track or something?! Maybe comment on one of my videos if you're down -Jason Almaraz

as a seventh grader, my cross country team would train every day. I started out not knowing what to do. I was 10 pounds overweight and my mile was 7:30 with no training. but then after xc and track, my mile time became 5:19

TILLY no I'm serious cuz my uncle was a division one xc for cal poly and I wanted to be like him. My first practice was a 4K run. I'm like coach r u serious? I eventually bumped up to 4 miles every day.And after xc season I was at 5:35. Track season came and then 5 miles a day lowered my time to 5:20. And then after about 200 some odd days. I finally had some potential to be a professional runner

I have the same exact dream as you man! Ever since I was a freshman I wanted that state metal and I'm a junior this year and I'm hoping to get that state medal. I have ran every day and this is my year to get my state medal !

Love this video, still

This video was so inspirational. I used to play football(soccer) in high school and college. Now I want to try running. I want to catch up to the “slow” 5k run that you had

This gave me goosebumps

Wow this video was amazing !!

Amazing video.

Wow! That’s awesome!

Amazing! The first time I did this distance a couple years back I got a 27:45 😬. 3 years later, I’m 12 now, I’m currently at a 21:32. I’ve used so many of your tips, thank you.

this makes me really miss my durham county (uk) xc meets

I went from a 5:46 mile to a 5:25 because of my mind set. You will start and end fast, so run the 2 and 3 laps fast and dont slow down. Also, when your hurting, its your mind lying. As soon as you stop or slow down, your head will drop in disappointment. All pain is mental. I got 25th at state in Illinois as an 8th grader for 2 miles. 11:13.7. I ran 5:25 as a 7th grader though. I'm excited for track this year to see what I can do!

we not gonna talk about how that guy HURDLED over the flags @ 14:10 ?

Ive been waiting to hear them say the food was busin but I forgot it was 2016

awesome you win👍

what workouts would you recommend for training by myself, (my cc ended for the season) im a freshman at Udall highschool in udall,ks (2a school) my pr for the 5k is 18:35, i have the same dream of podium at state

That course looks hella nice compared to the one in Nevada this year. All unpaved dirt with rocks everywhere and quick sand

Good job my dude

Hey I do cross country and was wondering how much is too much or how many miles would be healthy. Right now I'm running 30 miles a week im 14 5'4 105 lb. I'm a freshman and my pr is 17:43 I run 6 days a week. Is this enough mileage or is it too little. Btw I increase mileage slightly every two weeks

aye william is playing isle of flightless birds by TØP at 5:05

Words at the end are true...

Just watched this for motivation as my first state meet is tomorrow 😬

I'm a freshman and my first race 5k time was 20:15, I've cut it down to 18:35 and would like to hit 18:15 at sections in two days

I have so much respect for you brother power you brother
