I think that when Allie goes to the gym with Spence, she actually works out while he fiddles with his phone.

People don't run fast because of pain tolerance. If that were true, then the people on this planet who experience NO pain (they exist) would be the best runners in the world.
People run fast because they have the physical tools (that does NOT include pain tolerance) to do so and then are trained.
sure, but there is 100% a mental component to running and the majority give up/slow down due to psychological limitations rather than actual physical ones. i would guess all pros have a very high threshold for pain.
You guess wrong. Pain tolerance has NOTHING to do with being able to run fast.

This is plainly false. Many a try hard as deluded themselves into thinking their 4:40 mile PR will improve by 10-20 seconds if they could just dig ".deep enough". Saying dumb platitudes like this to romanticize the "suffering" element of the sport try hards like to play up completely disregards aerobic capacity and lactate threshold realities. Once you start to "suffer", you're well into lactate threshold and cooked.
CORRECT!
yeah tolerating pain is a good way to get overtrained or injured. i don't really consider the exhaustion feeling in a hard workout "pain." pain is feeling a stupid tendon on every step. a workout just feels hard and uncomfortable. at the end of my best races i felt like a million f***ing bucks. on that note, i always think the "oh look at X after that race they're not even tired they must be doping" is a ridiculous accusation.
I hated this video so much. first athlete special ive watched, and last. terrible. obnoxious. try running faster.

They're both obnoxious and immature.
Did anyone else hear Allie mention she’s injured again, on crutches? If so, that’s a bummer

Yeah she has a stress fracture (femoral if I remember correctly). The poor girl cannot stay healthy lately
