YOU asked for this one, so we made it! Next week I will show you my ULTIMATE SPEED WORKOUT. This is the sprint session I did before every major World Championships + Olympic Games. Sub + notifications if you want to see that one!
You should do an all out downhill mile. I’d like to see the times. Or you could do a backwards 4x400
We need to see a nick symmonds marathon
I think since Nick is always talking about trying to be a all around athlete he should do a Murph challenge. 1 mile, 100 pull-ups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, and finish off with a mile. It was named after a fallen Navy Seal.
Nick symmonds OLYMPICs
Hi nike
Next : running a marathon on all fours
A buddy of mine recently did this! Bear crawled 26.2
@@nicksymmonds wait was it the New York marathon because I think I heard about it
@@nicksymmonds i cant even imagine doing that. Thats just so impressive
My shoulders hurt just thinking about that 😐
That seems like pure pain
Nick: we’re running a backwards mile
Me an intellectual: runs clockwise on the track
We thought about it! For some reason that seemed extra hard for my brain lol
I wonder if nobody has tried to do that and the WR is actually only like a 7 min mile clockwise lol. I've only ever ran clockwise for warmup/cool down.
Jamison Michael did this haha trolled everyone by making it look like he was gonna do what Nick and these boys did here only to turn around and run it forward clockwise
I’m not a competitive runner but I train regularly at a track and frequently run clockwise to switch things up for my feet and leg muscles.
@@nicksymmonds @ if you ever see this it would be so cool to get the video in reverse to see what it looked like !
Bit of a crazy idea for a race; A race where no one but the timer knows the number of laps. He rolls a dice before the race, and that + 1 is the number of laps. He only gives a warning on the last lap. Should be very interesting tactically.
The kids that are going into school and seeing us probably thought we were on drugs
HAHAHAH anyways nice run bro! Also may I know your 5k timing. I’m not here to compare I’m only 15 and my 5k time is really bad :(
@@plty3931 my 5k is pretty bad when considering I run a 4:52 mile, but my 5k is 18:58 and I’m 15 as well
@@jeremiahfictum5983wow still much better 5km time than me oof. 19.39 im working on it!! Anyways have a nice day lmao
@@jeremiahfictum5983 you'll be able to get that time down a bunch don't worry. I'm like 5:10 mile and 18:46 5k but I'm focused on 800m nowadays.
bro i got a nice 5k time at an 18:28 but when i ran that my mile time was 5:19( now at 5:07) i wish i could have your mile speed
This mile hurt so bad I couldn’t walk for 3 days after this
I cant even imagine, I have done some backwards running to train for soccer, it’s insane. Massive respect for you haha!
Thanks for joining us!!!
I've tried running backwards and the after math Isn't fun😂 some serious stretches should be done after this😂
I played laser tag with my step nephew at a park and probably ran a total of 200m backwards and my hips were sore for a couple of days. I can't even imagine doing a mile backwards, and with no breaks. I mean, I can imagine completing it once the adrenaline sets it, but I can't imagine how horrible it must be afterward if about 200m with breaks was this bad
This looks so fun but I would've fallen over and hurt myself😂😅
Watching this in reverse should result in the best comeback race ever with a 8 man photo finish
Brooo someone needs to reverse this that would be sick
genius comment
Should‘ve played the footage backwards and just have a really cursed race 😂
Winner gets $100, everyone else gets a concussion 😭
LMAO! No runners were harmed in the making of this film!!
How someone ran my mile pr backwards is beyond me
Check out the backward marathon world record lol
It's sad isn't it 😅
Your pr kinda slow
@@ben6531 a 5:30 is not slow lmao the average in shape adult runs a 10 minute mile
@@cwetz226 it depends, a freshman running a 5:30 is pretty impressive, sophomore should be running 5:00-5:10 for the mile. junior and seniors should be running sub 5
Run one lap forward, one lap backwards, one lap sidesteps facing in and one lap sidesteps facing out. Runner choses what order they do it in
It would be really Nice
My entire being is hurting thinking about that noo
the official running quote
“ i’m having so much fun out here but i’m in a lot of pain”
-nick symmonds
when they be running a mile faster backwards than me running fowards
😂😂
I once walked 5k backwards and had to ran the last 800m, I did it for charity. The day itself it was completely fine the day after was worse you could say. Mostly my calves were dead.
5k backward sounds like a terrible idea, honestly. A mile is already long, but 5k seems like a great way to get injured. Glad nothing bad happened to you.
This man inspired me to become a runner subscribe to him he deserves it
Well I mean I run for a club
Appreciate you Joshua!!
Lol you have alot of likes broskiiiiiiii
@@Zach_p114 thanks for commenting i had no idea that u would find my comment
Dang shout out Cameraman Ryan. This video was CRISPY.
He is getting GOOOOOOD
Dbs have entered the chat
That school looks familiar
Hope the legs are better by now Jeremiah!!! :D
@@nicksymmonds fortunately I am, and I recently just won my first race in a forwards mile and broke 5 minutes for the first time
Let the audience decide who had the better fall 💀
@@jeremiahfictum5983 Congrats🙌🏼
@@ssgssleo2893 🤣 I think i would have fell in the first 100m
having to move the football thing off the track is too accurate. the football players leave it there every time smh
You saved me from school...thank you so much
Lol
Glad I could help!! :D
What’s Dylan’s last name? He looks familiar
@@taylorgolden161 Dylan bailey
Now time for a one legged mile. Lol. 🤣
When is the UPSIDEDOWN mile happening?
I think imma have to sit out on this one 😭😭
They’ll have to get gymnasts no one else would be able to do it.
i cant imagine the burn that yall must of been feeling while doing this mile
RIP their calf muscles and quads, haha
Honestly looks like running a mile backwards might be good for mobility and some small muscle growth.
It actually is proven to be a good exercise for muscles in your legs you don’t use often and it should help your running
These videos are so dope. Every week looking forward to new Nick Symmonds videos :D
I’m not much for participation awards, but everyone deserved one for this event.
Videos are always so fun to watch and always so energetic! Perhaps a 200 on hands and legs mile? That would be interesting or even a 100 yard dash doing the crab walk? Just throwing out some more fun ideas. Keep them coming Nick!
After watching this, I really want to see the backwards mile in the olympics now.
No one:
Nick: finger walk up Mount Everest
I’m still waiting for that elimination marathon
their calves are gonna be sore for DAYS lmao
UR THE BEST NICK I LOVE UR VIDS
Always a great day when Nick uploads.
That is very impressive to do that for a whole mile!! Your an inspiration for all!
running backwards is actually realy good for your knees. Shoutout to knees over toes guy
I like your videos cause they have such a good energy in them
I had to re-watch this video again because its hilarious how you guys are running!!
I’ve been waiting for this one
Plot twist: Nick actually made the video with them jogging normally and then reversed the video.
nick comes out wit the most creative content 🙌
Love your vids!!!!!! Keep up the good work
Watching & Timing this was the most fun I've had before noon in my life
Nick, I would love to see and all out 3k steeplechase versus subscribers!
Maybe this summer!!
The fact that no one knew that it was a backwards race. haha. Love it.
I started to get into retro walking/running in the last 3 weeks and it's crazy how that video was uploaded around the exact same time as my interest of it arose.
Oh wow. Hometown! St. Petersburg, FL! Nice to see it.
Dylan is making the Dylan's proud
5k? BACKWARDS?
You have my like man, good luck!
I think imma have to sit out on that one 😳😬
@@jeremiahfictum5983 Hahaha I would do the same man. You were in the video right?
@@steyn5511 yep I’m the one that fell in the end
@@jeremiahfictum5983 aaahh ok lol, you did great man! I run track as well and I now how much running a mile backwards would hurt
This is insane!!! :)) Can't wait for the Ultimate Speed Workout!
I hit the subscribe button instantly! !!!
Love it Nick.
I laughed so much when the students starting showing up.. They must have been like "wtf are they doing"
i have waited too long for this can't wait to try this with my friends
It's TOUGH on the quads. But doable. Have fun!!
Was just so so funny watching you run backwards all looking over your shoulders 😂
You're great with crowds, and really great with the young athletes. Coach or teacher one day? Looking forward to the 2nd Annual Nick Symmonds Classic.
Just in time done with my 5th period class then nick symmonds drops a new vid
This is pretty cool to watch
still faster than my normal mile time😂
Looking forward to this Video!!
Dylan killed it! Damn I didn't think it would be that fast, way to go.
Damn, never thought I would this early to a nick symmonds video :)
Thanks for being early!!
they literally did a faster mile backwards than i can do forwards
Nice to see the lads having some fun with this! 😅
I love your videos
Congrats on 1/3 of a million subscribers. Not as huge of a milestone like 500,000, but still quite awesome.
Nick!! Me and my cross country teammates love your videos!
Imagine someone just finished watching TENET and comes out to see this going on, he would lose his mind 😂😂😂😂
Great idea Nick!!!
You’re at a third of a million subscribers congrats!
Thank Nick!! I’m was literally dying in class. One question, when is another bundle going to be available for run gum? Waiting for another run gum deal!
Very soon!!
@@nicksymmonds wohoooo
Nick! I'm in the Marine Corps, I would like for us to have a calisthenic competition on base or it can be off base!! It'll be totally up to you!! I'm a huge fan! Keep up the hardwork!
When are you coming to Michigan, man. We love you!
This is a good exercise for the quadricep muscles👍🏻
Love your vids
Thanks for watching them!!
Nick in 2030: running a one legged mile on the moon and winner gets $10,000 🤣
I love the end when everyone’s waddling away
I haven't even seen the video yet and I can feel my hammies cramping
I’m a track runner and a cross country runner and I love watching your videos but you should do hurdles backwards!!
Another nice vid nick, thanks for these :) i know running is nick's life, but i would like to see nick race his camera/tech guy (forgot his name sorryyyy) in a wheelbarrow 100m race. Not sure how hands would like the track, but maybe do it on grass :) and of course i dont mean like Pushing others, while sitting in wheelbarrow, allthough that could be Fun too, im sure you get the idea :)
Plot twist: they’re actually running normally, the video is just played in reverse
Props to the ppl missing 1st period to do a backwards mile on a track lol👍
My teacher didn’t believe me so I had to show her the picture I took with him 😂😅
Awesome video!
1day after posting, you’re at 8.1k likes
Get ready for that backwards 5k run, Nick!
I remember running backward miles in practice and having a total blast
This video was fun!
We’ll be waiting for that 5k
I enjoyed this,
This would be interesting to see with some basketball players too!
I love backwards running feel the burn baby haha
I asked it. I liked it. In good weather I run a 7:59 forward. So he's barely over 30 sec slower backwards. That is a quick runner!
Come up to the Boston area soon!
Holey Moley, I think they all would have beat me if I was running forward. Good on ya kids and Nick. Keep running and never get old.
Holy shit, this looks so funny😂
Hi Nick great video!
Thank you Paulina!!
The backwards triple jump and the backward pole vault would be fun.
Hey I love your videos great content!
Also I didn't liked running distance and sprinting before 2021 but now I do and I am challenging my self to be my best and to go where we all want 1st
Also and did do it
Love it
As an ole DB
It hit 10k likes! I’ll be waiting for that backwards 5k haha!
8:30 👏👏 great idea 🤣🤣
Looks like you’re doing a 5k😁
You should come out to Colorado and do one
Awesome race!
Coming next week: the side skip 800m
Did this on my channel and it’s a lot harder than it looks 😅😅 nice work Nick!!
