People are asking what kind of training I have done in jeans for the #BlueJeanMile. The answer is simple…all-out 100m sprints. Why? They build confidence and I don’t feel like doing anything else!⁣ ⁣ Thank you all so much for your support so far. I really can’t say it enough. This has been an incredible few weeks. The generosity and kindness you all have shown has raised over $10,000 for NAMI!! You have given support and raised awareness for so many who are suffering from mental illness and their caretakers. Take some time to show appreciation for yourself. You rock! ⁣ ⁣ Now I’ll hold up my end of the bargain!! Remember to tune in to my Instagram live on May 30 at 6 PM EST. It’s gonna be a blast ✈️ #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthMatters

Gregorek broadcast the run to over 1,800 people via Instagram Live and raised $31,000 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness after losing his brother last year, who struggles with mental illness.

He finished the mile in 4:06.25, which is faster than most people in regular running clothes, so, props dude.

An absolutely amazing record to hold!
