Finally someone who stresses the importance of sleep even if it means to go to sleep very early. 6 months ago I decided to remove my daily alarm. My life has improved so much! Thank you Nick 💪🏼
That’s true. Although I live in Texas, so even getting up at 6am it can be super hot. I often set my alarm, run, shower and then go back to bed. Even if you have to get up early, get enough sleep.
Kh3DDy no he’s saying that a day will go by 4% faster since Nike advertises that you will run 4 percent faster, this is why you need a big brain to understand
Thanks for the videos and inspiration Nick! I used to run the 800 in high school but I was never very good. My best was only a 2:05. Your career and now your videos have inspired me to start exercising and running again. Keep up the good work!
This needed a “squishy” counter! Always can count on you to bring a unique perspective to running! And shoutout to the Mrs for letting you wear those on date night. My wife would have also put me in the other room. No way she would let me sleep in the bed. And yeah do the compare 🙌🏾
I think it’s awesome how this guy was(is!) literally one of the best runners in the world and can just transition into being an entrepreneur with a great UA-cam channel. Each video better than the last!
He was an Olympian over a decade ago and is now less of one of the best and closer to an “average runner”. If you look in his videos where he is racing his subscribers and high school runners, he is normally closer to the middle instead of the front.
As dumb as this sounds, hearing you say you go to bed at 8:30 was really encouraging. I’ve struggled with it but knowing I’m hitting the hay at the same time it pretty cool
i would LOVE to see how these compare to the next%, they just seem so weird lol. I was surprised at how unstable you found them on anything other than the road, but I guess they're just a really niche shoe. Keep up the great work!
@@iguess1244 Why wouldn't you train any way? Maybe you should find something you're actually interested in doing so you can fully dedicate yourself to it and you won't try to find excuses to not train or study or practice.
Thanks for sharing yet another essential and practical rule for running and training "Go to bed early enough that you wake up without an alarm." thanks for the unbias review on the Alphaflys.
Hi I’m a 14 year old french boy and i follow you since 2 mounth and you are the only American youtuber whose videos i watch. I start atletics thanks to you !!!
Please make videos about your interaction with other great athletes runner like Rudisha, Bolt , van ni kerk , mo Farah etc. And why are they so special..... This would be fun bro and believe me people will love it....
hey love the videos i was at the 5k race and i absolutly loved it i hope to see u again i run with salem track club! i also saw evan gonzagas yesturday running in 85 degrees he is a great guy and runner
I want to see you run with a Normal running shoe on one foot and an Alphafly on the other foot. Having one bouncey shoe and one not bouncey would make it hard to run. You always post crazy videos and this would definitely be a crazy video.
the more i watch your videos the more i had wished to watch you run in the olympics because when you were a running i didnt even know what the olympics were, your a huge inspiration to me, keep at it 💪🔥
00:27 aren't the alphaflys we can buy different from the ones Kipchoge used? I'm pretty sure that shoe used 3 carbon plates, and the world athletics ruled that shoes may only have one solid caron plate in them, so the consumer version only has one.
I wear a 9.5 as well!!! Also, since you decided to wear your vaperflys to date night, I am gonna wear mine to prom tonight. Then I remembered something. I don't have vaperflys 🤣🤣🤣
Nick! Great video 👍 what sunglasses are you wearing in this video? They look super sleek (or ‘lirens’ as you would say in slang Danish) 😂 Also, how come only US residents can enter the alphafly raffle? 😕
I'm with you on the shoe on the road, but don't like its looks at all. I don't like bulky shoes for running, but I'm all about sprinting 60 to 100 or even 200 meters. Anything else I got burnt out on years ago. For sprinting I like light weight sprinting spikes. Mine are Nike.
Eliud didnt run in the alphafly you bought, because they have been slightly modified to fit world record and competition rules. The shoes he wore were slightly different.
Hi Nick! I was inspired by you to run a faster 800. When I started watching you my best was 3 mins, I just got a 2:39 yesterday! Are you going to Tokyo? Love to see you there
Nick, Good job for standing up for how Black Lives Matter isn't about Black lives mattering! I'm with you! They definitely matter but the organization isn't making it about that at all.
I think these shoes do have one issue: There are different sizes, but not different softness for different bodyweights. These shoes are designed for someone like Kipchoge with a bodyweight of 52kg!! - I myself am muscular and a foot taller, which makes me almost twice as heavy, and I also think Nicks BMI is way higher than Kipchoges, so of course they feel too squishy for him. There probably needs to be different stiffnesses for different athletes as well.
So should I buy these shoes simply to wear as casual street shoes to show I can afford expensive Sold Out shoes? How many people who wear Air Jordan actually play basketball in them?
Nick I enjoy watching your videos and your races from Olympic years. Please cut open these Alphaflys! What do you think those threads are for in the AirPods? Thanks!
I'm 79 and want to break the world record. I have three first place wins at Hayward Field in the 100, but I am trying to run much faster for the coming year, so I'm training with some super, explosive techniques I've developed. What I would like to afford but can't is the new Nike Super Fiber One shoes advertised. Do you run with those in the 100 and if so what do think about them?
Big fan of you Nick hopefully once you start doing more track events again I would love to come out and run on the I’m from Arizona so I bet running in Oregon would be nice 😂
Yeah Nick. How about entering some masters races and making videos of those? Prefer 100m to 1500m:). Maybe you break some age group records, and motivate us golden oldies 😉
Nick what's your opinion on the implications of the Vaporflys aiding all the recent world records? I mean, what does it even mean to run a world record today seeing as you can't compare it to 5 years ago? Wouldn't it have been nice to see whether Kipchoge could have beaten Kimetto's time off of his own steam? The fact that he needed the most recent advanced version of the shoe and couldn't do it with previous performance enhancing versions argues against that. Sadly, we will never know for sure. Thanks Nike.
@@diskoeric2248 The female and male half and full marathon world records, all of which beaten by astonishing margins, are in the Vaporfly. And it will stay that way for the foreseeable future, until some of the other shoe companies can compete. It's cheating plain and simple, Nike even admitted it by naming the shoe with the percent advantage it would give the runner.

@UCQaz-j7IXdxj-hbK528ERRg Hello Edward!
Thx u for u reply
Nick: there not the best shoes for the track
Me: I would wear them every day
You should do a “running a mile every hour for a day” challenge
That would be awesome. That plus in a different shoe EVERY hour! Haha
yeah i'd love to see that too
Not the hardest challenge though 🤷🏼♂️

I once wore Alphaflys for 24 hours...
It took me only 23 hours.
Lmao
Only people with big brain will understand
23 hours to put them?
Kh3DDy no he’s saying that a day will go by 4% faster since Nike advertises that you will run 4 percent faster, this is why you need a big brain to understand
@@KOKOBC But it's next% not 4. I havn't seen the ad so... I couldn't know.
Remember watching your career love to see you on UA-cam now
thanks for following my career!
Looking forward to the comparison between the 2 shoes. I also have followed your whole career. Masters sprinter from Canada!
Thanks for the videos and inspiration Nick! I used to run the 800 in high school but I was never very good. My best was only a 2:05.

AlphaFlys are real life cheat code for running
Finally a way to run faster without training
It's like "cheating allowed" in minecraft
@@thetwister7224 u won't be able to run fast even with alphafly if u don't train

Hey everyone, I just want to recommend Nick's Company Run Gum as they are great for any sport and don't leave you with a puddle in your stomach
I think it’s awesome how this guy was(is!) literally one of the best runners in the world and can just transition into being an entrepreneur with a great UA-cam channel. Each video better than the last!
Nike need to make some mattresses!!🏃♂️😴
That’s literally what I’ve been thinking
Nick is so underrated, he has fantastic content
Calls himself an average runner, while being an olympian
Ikr, but he’s no longer an Olympian so I guess not anymore
He was an Olympian over a decade ago and is now less of one of the best and closer to an “average runner”. If you look in his videos where he is racing his subscribers and high school runners, he is normally closer to the middle instead of the front.
@@fruitsnak5857 correction: less than a decade ago
@@jhoncena1111 he was in the olympics in both 2009 and 2013. also why does it matter?
@@fruitsnak5857 You used the wrong term. Also the olympics were 2008 and 2012.
5:50 As an extremely short person, these 8 seconds are very relatable
Nike: ' 5:00 mile pace is my tempo pace.'
The World: Really? That's not so bad for an old Bison.
As dumb as this sounds, hearing you say you go to bed at 8:30 was really encouraging. I’ve struggled with it but knowing I’m hitting the hay at the same time it pretty cool
“5 minute pace is my “tempo pace”⁉️😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Keep up the great work!
Nick is a down to earth guy 😜
To Nick:
What do you think about the upcoming season. Do you think it’s going to happen. Should I still train.
50/50 if it still happens, 100% you should still train.
Ok sounds good thanks
I can always count on you to reply
And Nick will do!😃

Really inspired me to run! Started out with 7min miles as my personal best now I’m at 5:20
Ik you wrote this comment a while ago, but how did you get down to 5:20? And tips?
How’s it going
Hi I’m a 14 year old french boy and i follow you since 2 mounth and you are the only American youtuber whose videos i watch. I start atletics thanks to you !!!

I'll check out the channel when is ready!
That is GREAT to hear!
Please make videos about your interaction with other great athletes runner like Rudisha, Bolt , van ni kerk , mo Farah etc. And why are they so special.....

9:50 when you have date night at 6 but you have to run a marathon at 6:30
So much love for your fans, followers and subscribers!!! Appreciate you, Nick!
I gotta say, I flinched a little when you took that saw to the shoe
hey love the videos i was at the 5k race and i absolutly loved it i hope to see u again i run with salem track club! i also saw evan gonzagas yesturday running in 85 degrees he is a great guy and runner
tough kid! Yeah we will have more meet up events soon.

Another great video Nick!!!!
guys how is this guy not at 15 mil subs yet its the best content on the platform
Love your videos Nick! Keep up the great work
Thank you Caleb!!
Love the honest reviews, no bullshit
What a good guy you say hi to your fans Even when your on a date or work or running awesome!!
Nicks in shape💪
getting there!! :D
When do you wake every morning Nick? Sleeping at 8:30 is really early even if you got up at like 5am...Or do you need like 9-10 hours of sleep a day?
It could take him a while to truly fall asleep, rather than just being in bed.
I ran a 4:00 with the vaporfly, wonder what I can run with the alphafly
Nobody:
Nick: takes off his shoes at 11:09 without untying then
Me: nooooo 😖
No hate love the vids 👍
Same. My heart sped at the second he put the saw
Felipe Galletti who unties there shoes when taking them off
JJ Cubers I learned that it is not good to take off ur shoes w/o untying them because it can stretch out the shoe badly
Really like the vids man encouraged me to start hittin the track and run more
Ha! Love it! My pair is coming Thursday and I'm pumped!
Awesome vid- keep up the great work!!
Awesome video I love seeing your perspective on different shoes
Thank you!!
Everybody: I wonder how fast these shoes are compared to others.
Nick: let's lift in them first 🤔
The “I’m not going to wash my feet for 24 hours” challenge. Gotta love it
Really enjoy watching your videos Nick 👍
Keep up the great content Nick.
I love the video Nick!😀👍
Ryan bombed their date night. 😂😂
Another good video nick 👍👍👋
I wear a 9.5 as well!!!
Also, since you decided to wear your vaperflys to date night, I am gonna wear mine to prom tonight. Then I remembered something. I don't have vaperflys 🤣🤣🤣
Man... what some individuals come up with for an extra like.
And all that husstle for just an entrepenour, amazing.
Appreciate all you do Nick!
Let’s go niiick😆😆
Thank u 🙏
10:36 Nick says go to bed early.... me: watching this video at 2AM
Haha great vid as usual man. Awesome that you don’t take yourself too seriously and are down to do goofy stuff like this.
Wow tysm for showing us the shoe! It's stunning!

Eliud didnt run in the alphafly you bought, because they have been slightly modified to fit world record and competition rules. The shoes he wore were slightly different.
Still confident that Nick’s crocs are the best racing shoe.
8:14 The fact that your ankle whips like that while you run might also be the reason
Hi Nick! I was inspired by you to run a faster 800. When I started watching you my best was 3 mins, I just got a 2:39 yesterday! Are you going to Tokyo? Love to see you there

9:31. Now that is commitment to your fans.
Nick, Good job for standing up for how Black Lives Matter isn't about Black lives mattering! I'm with you! They definitely matter but the organization isn't making it about that at all.
No you just want BLM to be toothless so you can ignore their actual needs
What do you think about the middle and high school cross country season do you think it will be the same
