It's not even about that. Assuming similar levels of energy left, had he done that, he'd have slowed down much sooner and they'd have caught up and passed all the same. Name of the game is energy expenditure and how you use it, hence why these races are tactical. Some people are strong finishers, while others can maintain a even pace throughout. Know your type and strategize. I have never seen him out-sprint the final 150 in any of his races. He seems to be the type that can keep his pacing even till the end so he needs to use positioning from the start and not stay so far back as he won't be able to sprint up in holes that form throughout.

That's great advice for anyone !! Thanks Hensley !! Yea, what I find so amazing with Spencer, is his form is so incredibly smooth. If you watch Spencer "on tape" and put an imaginary horizontal line on the top of his head, his head pretty much has virtually ZERO up and down movement - he's using his energy to propel forward much more that most people. I used to know a runner who actually was a little better than average, not a champion, but not at the back of the pack either. But this guy had HORRIBLE head bopping. If he could have figured out how to get rid of that severe head bob, he could have chopped lots of time off in his races. But he was one of these guys who didn't really care what his time or place was. But he did beat many people in races despite the severe head bopping.

I've ran and watched a lot of 800s in my life and while I'm no expert. And there are definitely some people who can find a kick. Most of the time it's just willing yourself to hold your pace. The problem is is the 800 is basically a slightly slower 400 twice. it doesn't leave anything left in the tank. If you have a ton you probably should have been running faster during the rest of the race. The 3k is a much slower race and less anaerobically demanding and aren't always run all out, but are sometimes paced, allowing for more power towards the end. You may already know all this, I don't know your background.

I think Spencer's weight training will eventually pay off. It's not like he's doing weight training at the expense of his long runs and we all know he's doing speedwork. And it's also not like Spencer is doing Ryan Hall style weight training. I think Spencer is right on track {no pun intended} and you watch, he is going to have a breakout season and blow through his current PR's.

@@mustardseedsociety I hope that's right! I didn't intend to imply that the weight-training was bad. Genuinely just asking questions because I am FAR from an expert on any of this.

@@dcnole It depends on what kind of weight training we're talking about. I'll never forget I was a spectator once at a College Cross Country Race in Dallas. It was a 5 mile race and this course was extremely difficult. All the runners {who were ALL pretty good runners} were getting beat up just by the difficulty of the course. Well - all except ONE guy. The ONE guy who led from start to finish skampered up the hills like it was no big deal. Being a loop course, I got to see this guy close up several times and this was the strongest looking distance runner I have ever seen. It was absolutely obvious this guy weight trained. There's no way one could have that muscle definition without weight training. In this particular 5 mile race, he was basically on "cruise control" and dusted the entire field in 26 minutes. The 2nd place guy was WAY behind and he finished in 27 minutes and of course the next 100 guys finished in the next 4 minutes. I think the last guy finished in 31 minutes. But remember, this course was extremely difficult. But it was the WEIGHT TRAINED guy who blew away the entire field.

@John Cena First...I would suggest your remarks would be trusted by more people if you actually used your real name. Otherwise we can only assume you can bench press 500 pounds, and are worth many millions of dollars, but a runner....maybe not so much. Secondly.....at least per Spencer's video a few weeks back, Spencer had not done an 800 meter race in over 2 years. So with that being the case starting off with a 1:52 and a 1:51 is quite acceptbale. Then, if one is running a 1:50, 800, yeah, they are on track for breaking 14 minutes in the 5k. So actually nothing I stated was wrong, although I would say that maybe you are one of the few so called "haters" who actually runs with some very good speed and goes long. Where I think we are in agreement is that per my comment, Spencer needed to continue to build strength and endurance, which is I think what you are referencing. There is a difference of the training for building strength and endurance for a marathon, as opposed to a 5k. Building strength as you are well aware often comes from high intensity interval training, for which lactate thresholds are seemingly cutting edge, while the traditional basic hill repeats, and running at altitude for the production of red blood cells is standard, or if one is really into it.....just fly to Eldoret, Kenya, and hang with the Kenyans for a few months. So Spencer was really mixing it up, doing 200's, 400's, and 600's, as opposed to just banging out 5:30 miles, for an hour. His 1:52 was on a wet track vs. 1:51 on a sunny day not much of an improvement, but again, tactics take a preference. He needed to have more of a kick the last 150 meters, and to get that, he needs both longer and stronger training. If he hits 1:50 in the coming weeks, and does the training to build his strength and endurance, yeah, he'll break 14. Obviously you aren't a hater, nor were you a person I was referencing thinking that so many who criticize runners, well, they only run to the refrigerator.

@@nc8186 And your point is ?????? All I'm trying to do is give Spencer a word of encouragement. Yes I do know he is a sub 4 miler. I've known it for like 3 years now. At the start of the presentation, Spencer said there were some "haters" - I am NOT one of them.

I would encourage you to improve your reading comprehension, per your remarks that what I wrote was weird, and that I was arguing? Go ahead take my exact words and cite of what was weird to state that Spencer was on track for a 14 minute 5k, particularly with training focused on building strength and endurance? Then I didn't really argue with "John Cena", but rather corrected his misstatements pertaining to Spencer's racing, and effectively supported what he said, that Spencer won't build speed by running 5:30 mile pace. Lastly, between you and me, I am just guessing you haven't run 25 marathons, haven't trained runners, nor have a book coming out on running? So feel free to take my exact words and cite what was weird or not accurate. GO ahead.

@@randylazer2894 you don’t know anything about me😂

@@yeahbaby3239 Yes, I know a little about you, that you made a false statement out of a lack of reading comprehension, and can't back your own words of telling me what I wrote that was "weird", or inaccurate.

Not a professional but as a runner I agree
