Can we talk about how cringey these U of Oregon videos are?

The ones who run faster than either of you pathetic losers could ever dream. Get a life, both of you. I literally can’t believe people get a kick out of taking garbage on people who are better athletes than them. I’m sorry for all those imaginary obstacles and “lack of generic talent” that held you back. Get over it, grow up, and do something productive.

Lmaoooooooo apparently it is fart face, I’m sorry that you did plenty of “proper DI long runs” and couldn’t touch what these guys have run. Also if you reply with a “as a matter of fact I’ve run “impressive times,” I’m expecting your full name, age, alma mater, and a link to said results.

I wasn’t criticizing their speed, i just cringed at their antics. Are you cooper teare btw? You type like he talks

They only ran 45 miles that week so that was probably just a down week for them. They're up to 80 mpw now.

This was Cooper's last workout, seems pretty good to me.

I was waiting for them to pull out the phone and take selfie’s....kids these days

Most distance runners I've met make these Oregon bois look like complete alphas that actually f*ck

Some great runners in that video. Good video of a training run.

It was never their Idea. The recruitment staff sent this Ben Crawford guy with them to make promo videos to boost recruitment and the fact that we're all here just talking about it is proof that it's working. You can't blame them for having fun with it if they're stuck with it.

Recruits this year tho yea they're crap. One back of the back FL guy from MT who broke 15 once and a local kid whose siblings on the team is all they've got to my knowledge but a lot of the guys from their recruiting area aren't committed yet so maybe we'll see more commitments?

Three of the runners in the video are sub 4 minute milers

Proof of how meaningless that status has become. Seems pretty clear that they've probably peaked already in their minds. I knew guys just like this when I was that age, they had set their own ceiling artificially low. If these guys were on my college team, I'd spend as little time with them as possible.

I keep seeing comments about how wonderful the video output of Ben Crawford is, and yet I see nothing noteworthy here. It clearly doesn't take much to draw bored teenager's eyes anymore. But then did it ever?

As someone who has watched a ton of WoW vids, my opinion is that, In general, the Ben Crawford / U of O videos are kind of lame. This has nothing to do with how fast these guys are or how hard they train

I’ve much more enjoyed the Billy Dix / Duke University channel that’s popped up regularly.
