Nick Symmonds k
Sadly I can never find the motivation to keep running ever since I did cross country
why don't you try the decathlon on your next videos
so i'm a bit confused. are you saying that ptting on 20 pounds of muscle can slow your 400 meter by as much as 10 seconds?
But still 57 sec is really slow for an athelete like you. I never made it big in track, I dropped track 2 years ago but since then I am doing cross fit and wight training , I ran a 400 dash last week even though I am heavier than during my track days by 15 pounds , Last week I managed to run 400 in 50.8 sec which is 2 seconds more than my personal best.
Nick j beleive you can still run below 50 even in this current body weight if you make up your mind for it.
Talking that fast after a 400m is impressive. Id’d be next to a garbage can😂
haha I definitely took a minute breather first lol
I’ve seen your races....you never looked winded. Ever
I’m here
lmao
after i run the 400 i take a 10 minute break laying on the ground😂
Man, I felt more deceived in this video than a lot of girls in High School did to me
Yea I get that he gets more views by click baiting and I figured before hand that's what it was but it is kinda frustrating how much he tries to defend his time. Like you run multiple youtube channels and rungum just own it and say you don't do much speed work anymore. With a 47/1:42 400m/800m he could definitely squeak out a 52 with a few sessions a week. I don't like the whole I feel better so I must be healthier logic. He feels better because he has to run less. Iirc within the last 6 months he has ran a 52 or 53 second 400m. To drop to a 57 with his base means he's probably just not running. But I think telling his audience that would hurt his brand lol
@@nc8186 It's not clickbait. If someone's baited because they actually think he ran his fastest 400m years after retiring, they might need to get their brain checked.
Also, why does he need to say that he doesn't do much speed work anymore? He's retired; it should be a no-brainer. Not everything has to be stated explicitly or spoon-fed. Actually, Nick makes a point in many of his videos, including this one, that he doesn't train like he used to as a competitive athlete.
@@Trancefreak12 you can't say it's not clickbait if it's contingent on someone assuming he's lying lol. It's not even his best 400m in 2020, or the last 2 months even I bet. It's extremely deceptive and you can't deny that.
Yes he's retired and he's running slower but his reasoning for why he's slower is misleading lol. He could be his current weight and be faster and feel better than he currently does and you know that lol. Sure he's not outright lying but the title and content of this video are pretty deceptive lol. He's a former 1:42 800m runner who is struggling to break 57 and he feels like he needs to make excuses for why he's running slower. And imo it's wrong to just tell his audience that he's healthier now and that he lifts more which is why he's slower. But the intro to the video is talking about how much more explosive he feels then he goes out in a 14 for his first 100m and still commentates like he might have a chance lol. It was clickbait, many viewers can't extrapolate his 100m splits and he didn't even allude to being too slow until he's like halfway done with his *voice over*.
1. Title: best 400m he's ever run
2. Intro is about feeling more explosive than ever and trying to beat his best time
3. During the race he only says he won't beat it until it's glaringly obvious
4. Afterwards he says it's okay he didn't because he feels physically healthier than when he trained a lot which is fine but it contradicts the whole first half of his video.
All I'm saying is he should just own it and say he doesn't really run much and he has perfect reason not to. It's annoying to see him pussy footing around the fact that he can barely hold his mile pace for 400m and try to excuse himself
@@nc8186 He is also taking into account his weight and the fact that he has retired. Him saying it was his best mile was him meaning he felt that he worked the hardest and overcame some obstacles such as his gain of weight.
@@nc8186 damn...
Nick’s still cranking out impressive results, making us other 30-somethings feel self conscious. Ha! In high school I ran 50.42 in the open 400m and about 48.00 in a 4x400 split at 195lbs. 15 years and 20 pounds later I’d struggle to get it done under 1 minute!
lol it helps that it is part of my job description. My staff is really understanding when I duck out early to workout!!
Hehe, hes making us at mega elevation feel crappu abt ourselves
Hey those high school times are really great at 195 lbs!
@@ecosystems you’re too kind!
Speak for yourself.
Next video: "I'm competing in the 400m sprint at the Olympic Games!!"
ha! I would get my butt kicked..even in my prime!!! :D
Next video:
“I win a gold medal and break the world record by 30 whole seconds at the Olympic Games!!”
@@nicksymmonds Why would they be faster? Pretty obvious why! They would run for their lifes, because a Bison is trying to catch them!😄
@@nicksymmonds why
Win or lose everyone's going home with a free pack of Run Gum
I’m an 800m runner myself. I’ll never go to the Olympics, but your videos motivate me to train even harder!
Nick, I'm a DII Assistant XC Coach. We're currently meeting with different running professionals weekly via zoom to help keep our team motivated since our conference decided not to allow us to race this semester. We would love to have you as a guest!
The fact that there are no dislikes is insane!
I LOVE MY SUBSCRIBERS!!!
Haah you jinxed it mate
Especially since he click baited us😂😂😂
Can’t speak this soon after an upload! The haters don’t have their notifications on. It takes a while to run into this
223.
Part of me wanted you to have been secretly training hard for the 400m (sprint reps, lactic acid tolerance workouts, etc) in addition to the lifting, and have you drop a 47 low lmao
lol that would be a TOUGH combo!
Hey Nick, another great video. I love the diversity of your content. I just wanted to say thank you as over this past year I’ve really got it to running and your channel has really boosted me. Thanks Nick!
Nick was probably stuffing Run Gum in his face a minute before.
Great video, Nick! I ran a 400m PR on the track last summer in 62.9, but I'm also 46 years old. Trying to crack that elusive 60 sec barrier. Not bad for a marathoner.
Keep going Patrick, if you haven’t gotten there already! I hope to be in sub 60 shape into my 50’s once I get to that point in my life.
I love your videos and have been watching for a couple months now, I’m running cross country and track in high school and you’re keeping me motivated at the end of my season.
I'm watching this beast of a man run a 400 while eating out of a tub of ice cream
Life's good
Keep up the great videos!! I love watching them and I’m always excited to see the notification when you post!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thanks for inspiring Nick! I'm 21 and only recently got into running, but have found it as such a stress reliever and great workout! 🏃🏽♀️ love your videos, make running fun
Love how you show no matter what age you can get into running
Perfect age to get into running! Wishing you MANY healthy miles!!!
Really loved that you talked a lot about race weight. Running youtube channels don't usually do that! Great info!
Nice job Nick!! Always impressed with the content man!!! Keep it up!!
Good to see you back, Nick! Hope you're doin swell man!
“My best 400m is 10 seconds faster, but that was my best 400m that I’ve ever run”. 🤨🧐
He didn't say "fastest", he said "best", which is purely subjective.
@@JoeMac1983 delusional lmao. no one cares about pound 4 pound strength in running lol. only boxing and weightlifting
@@joys8634 When you grow up and get to be an old dude like Nick and I, you'll be pumped to run 85% as well as you did in your prime.
@@JoeMac1983 doesn't change my statement lmao. If I became obese and said this 57 sec 400m was my greatest run it would be laughable.
@@joys8634 If I could run a 57 right now I'd be on top of the world. Heck, if I ran a 65 I'd be pumped. In fact, considering how busy I am with work, the 20 lbs I've gained since college track, an online business, 2 side hustles, 2 kids, a wife, and my addiction to diet pop, I'd say that anything sub 70 for the 400m would be my best run at that distance ever. Doesn't change my original statement either that "best" is subjective.
Always great videos. Thank you Nick.
Nice run Nick, looked strong! I bet there's a 54-55 in that beautiful body if you do a few race pace interval workouts leading up to the next 400m trial! As a fellow runner who challenges many distances I find 400-1600m trial performance gets a huge boost with a few specific practice sessions within the week or so. (Priming the systems for the performance etc)
It may not be the best 400 he’s ever run but it’s the best 400 he’s ever run.
absolutely love this vid Nick! Thank you for posting this great topic. As I've gotten older (in my 40's now) it's been way harder to keep the weight down. ESPECIALLY during this pandemic, my wife and I have enjoyed our wine just a little too often now! lol Fantastic 400 by the way, hell ya man.
I never ran track before but decided to work on my 400m during Covid. I just set a PR of 56.69 this past weekend!
Idea for video: Have a team of seekers and a team of runners. The runners have to run a certain distance in a time limit for example, a 5k in 30 minutes. Give the runners a little bit to start running and then the seekers chase them. You can have the seekers on bikes if you want too. If you get tagged, you’re out.
Thank you symmonds for the book , it's for free and i'm very happy to dawnload it 💗
I ran a 4:40 mile in high school but I only weighed 130 at 5’5. Now I weigh 150 at 5’5 and I still cranked a 5:30. I can really relate to what you’re saying in this video. Although I’m heavier and slower, I feel healthier and in better overall condition than I ever have. I feel like I’m entering my physical prime soon. (I’m 20 years old now)
Awesome stuff! Love your content nick keep it up!
Thank you for being an inspiration!! This is the closest I've gotten to Track and Field! Thank you!
Keep making those great videos👍
57 seconds is still shifting so well done! Love your enthusiasm even though your no longer competing at the top level.
Awesome job Nick 🔥
You should do a video where you have people guess something (like a topic) and if they get it wrong they have to run a certain distance, and or a certain time.
Being an 800m Runner myself I’m curious to what kind of weight lifting you did. But man Nick will always be an inspiration.
Nick symmonds the 🐐 back with another video
Come in from training and there’s a video I didn’t think I’d see
Yeah, it's a surprise Monday vid!
Nick Symmonds it’s a surprise I would take any day of the week
YESSIR NIIICCCKKKKK I’m sooo excited
Absolutely Amazing!
Great to see Nick still in great form after a full career!!
Thank you Kaz!!
Love your discussion about weight and running (could be applied to all athletic pursuits though)! Healthy weight has to be the most effective weight to maintain for life balance, and especially for keeping amateurs like most people watching this motivated through the years!
Hey! i do running too! as a 12 year old tho and my record is 1:05 for 400m and im training in my free time a lot! these videos of yours really motivate me!! thank you!
So glad you are enjoying the videos!! That is a great 400m time. Keep working hard!!
@@nicksymmonds Thank youuu!
I’m 13 and my record is 58
@CottonGD that's actually kinda tuff my pr when I was 15 was 56 😭
Awesome job!
I totally feel this
I’ve gained 20 22-25 pounds over the last 3 years and primarily just do shorts sprints.
I use to run the Quarter low 50’s When I weighed 140 ish.
But right now I can crank a 55 with no 400n training. I say I haven’t fallen off too bad.
Good job! That is outstanding!
Nice run man, Good running form🏃♂️
Great video, lots of information thank you for
Love every video
Nice job nick.
The extra muscle definitely helped me. I used to run regional 8 and 4 and as I got older the extra mass definitely gave me quicker starts. At 29 I ran a 53s 400.
wow great run!
Great video
Hey nick, i have been watching your chanel for a long time and i have stated to run track and i am enjoying it. everyday i tell myself i need to be the bison. and i have been telling my family about you and they are say i think he might be your idol.
Always waiting for your video's. Quiet entertaining 🔥. Lots of love from Nepal .
Double upload let’s go
This is incredible!!!
sir your videos are very good and quite motivating, thanks for uploading
Love the vids
Running form is much improved . U look smoother
I broke my foot three weeks ago but already miss track so much. So I am binge watching Nick's videos lol.
47.4 for anybody wondering earlier 😎
hi nick love the video thanks for making a video and also i enjoyed the sharks and monos my dog wyatt just died and i really loved him and now i have this video to cheer me up thanks nick your the best
You are great sir
Congrats! :)
Thank you Timothy!!
I put on about 20 pounds in my first couple of months as a college freshman sprinter, actually think the weight has created more momentum and speed for myself. Went from 138 to currently 157
Did my first ever race which was a 400m on 59.55 with a 200m in 27,i was kinda lactic on the last 100m... 😂
Love this vidéo!
Lol I do 27s 3 200 workout with 7 minute rest struggle doing sub 60 400 and im not on running shape
I weighed 136-140 lbs while running track/XC in highschool. Stopped running and lifted all the time, reached 205 lbs. Last year I started running again and am now to 170 lbs!
Ur my fav runner!!
I love your videos
Hi Nick I love your vids ❤️
Thank you for watching them!!
Respect!
Nice. My best 400 was a 60 on a 4x400 relay in a summer track meet I was talked into doing. I did put in a 63 on the first lap of a 1500 race in college. Right now I don't think I can beat 90 and I am 80 lbs heavier and 38 years older. If I can get back down to 185 I might try and see if I can go under 90. Nice to see you still challenging yourself.
Greetings from Germany.
Awesome performance.
I started running regularly in May this year. I improved my time for 400m from 1:48 to 1:17 and I hope in 2021 i could reach 1:10.
I will work for that goal! 🏃♂️
Keep going with your contant, it's great to see your passion for running 👍🏻
*one day later ... I improved my personal best by two seconds to 1:15 🤟🏻
FloggingDrop glad I am not the only German being in love with his videos...
As long as you`re having FUN- that`s what matters. I ran a 400m in training (alone) this summer in 1:04. I am 52 yrs old, and 191/98kg. Which is 10kg more than me as a 20year old. My best discipline was the triple jump, so I don`t really have the stamina for the 400. But I still enjoy running! Grüsse aus Oslo
I hope I went to America one day and meet you nick your really good human keep going god blas you ❤️❤️
Great job Nick! 57 is still a very respectable time in the 400!
I’m 26 years old and in high school I ran 49.34 400m. My dream is to get a sub 48 time. I have been smoking heavily the last few years and totally physically inactive I am unsure if I could ever get back into the shape I was in in high school. I’m partially concerned that some of the internal damage I’ve down to my body may be permanent. Regardless I’ll begin running soon and get on a work out regiment. I’ll keep track of my progress. Wish me luck.
At 26 you’ve got time. You can be near your best up until 33. It will take you 3 years to get back to your best. It will be a marathon effort to turn yourself back into a 400 sprinter. But you can do it! Speed comes back more quickly than the speed endurance though so be patient and keep at it.
How’s it coming along?
Hi nick I hope you see this, I run the 800 also and I was undefeated in my season, you inspire me.
INCREDIBLE!!! Keep up the great work.
Nick Symmonds thanks your amazing
Solid run, Nick! Quick question, I'm considering investing in a Freelap timer myself. I have the Jawku one right now, but it is often pretty iffy. How do you like the Freelap system? Also do you find much difference between using the system with the touch pro transmitter vs. with just using the junior transmitters like you are here? Thanks man! I love the videos and I think it's awesome what you're doing these days after your running career.
I'm surprised you didn't plug run gum before you started!!
So basically what i took away is if I gain 10 seconds on my mile its my new pr
still got it in you mate
There was this girl in a 800m meet that went out and sprinted and had a 28 sec 200m it was so crazy
Weight lifting definitely helps with that speed and power, managed to hit 39s for 300m but I mostly run xc, hard to find that ideal weight to keep my strength and endurance
HI NICK I LOVE THE VIDS CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP ON WEDNESDAY FOR XC AND IM HYPED
Good luck!🏃♀️
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Thanks so much! Love the running community 🤪😝
watching nick symmonds new video>Going to xc practice 😂
1:00. Absolutely flawless form!!!
I just liked the video for the RUclips algorithm and because it’s a fantastic video
As a distance runner I can only watch with a jealous gaze. Couldn't dream of that sort of pace.
I love you💪🏾😁
why don’t you have more subscribers:(, you deserve a whole lot more !🥺
thank you for the video Nick!!!
Is it a good idea to weight yourself after you had breakfast? I thought it would be better before?
I only weight myself first thing in the morning. After peeing, before I eat/drink anything.
Nice video
I think its amazing how you still read the comments.
Hey Nick! What do track shoes do? I’m trying track for the first time this year. Great vid!

Thank you for turning on notifications!!!
dude, what a strong message. Thx
I love running
The 400m is such a brutal race
I realise that nick hasn't ran a 4x100 metre relay please make a video on this after this global pandemic
Let’s go new vid
