Paris Olympic Build: Bolder Boulder (Episode 6)

Рет қаралды 70,627

Күн бұрын

Week 6 of my 16 week build started with race day at the Bolder Boulder 10k on Memorial Day. The roar of the crowd in that stadium finish is surreal! This race was the opportunity I needed to work through pre-race jitters and the mental strength that it takes to stand with confidence on a starting line.
Finished in 7th place. I’m hungry for more and I’m committed to these next ten weeks leading to the 2024 Paris Olympic marathon.
We had a great long run on Saturday with a 3-mile pickup in the middle of our 25. We’re doing it.
In October 2023, I ran 2:08:00 at the Chicago marathon. Then, at the US Olympic Trials marathon in February 2024, I placed second and qualified for Team USA.
I will be racing the Olympic marathon at the Olympic games this summer in Paris. Join me during this training block as I prepare mentally and physically to compete on the biggest stage.

@@AndrewStorerDP that’s great to hear…. We need the sport to move forward with brands doing more projects like this, it’s bridges the gap from what us mere mortals feel is this mystical world of “elite runners” and gives us an incredible insight into the hard work that goes in to running Clayton’s sort of times 👊

I really like this series because of the tone. Quiet, hard working, perseverance. The cinematography, the score, it all matches with Clayton's low key and humble personality. No extra KZfaq artificial enthusiasm, just work - physical and mental work. I'm not even interested in the marathon but this series is excellent.

He did it in 1:40 but said he was slowed by waiting for family members. He's also 80 years old!

Comparison is the thief of joy. You’re an absolute legend Clayton and your time will come. Do you think taking the pacing job over from Connor for a few workouts would help that 3 steps mentality?

@_Clayton_Young_ Ай бұрын

Great question. This is a tricky balance. I do think that leading would help me more mentally, but I have to be careful about not crossing the line and burning out physically or getting injured. Typically towards the later half of a build is when I can really close the gap and start to trade the lead more with Conner.

So cool to see the behind the scenes of this race. Just another workout with some race atmosphere! Loved Ashley's take here that you always smile and interview well but there's a fire yearning for more. Is it getting warmer in Utah yet? How do you stay comfortable running in the heat or do you just embrace the suffering? :)

Great insight. Ashley really is my superpower. The heat of Utah is no joke. But, Paris will be hot and humid, so honestly it's a good thing and I just embrace it. Your body adapts.
