@@theyeetgangohyeahyeah2053 You better get to grinding man!!! You can do it, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Take full advantage of this opportunity to work towards greatness!!! Praying for you man🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪
My favorite part of this channel is how positive Nick is about everyone no matter their pace. He makes everyone feel good, comfortable, welcome, and accomplished. Its really amazing
@@brandonleclair5271 he ran a decent portion of the race with them in nick pointed out they were their for the first 400 and he kept going back in forth until he opened up in the last mile
Yeah, it's insane. I would have probably made it in the top 8, but then, I think both Josephine and Bennie(I think those were their names right?) would have barely beaten me, same for the youtuber, and of course I wouldn't be anywhere close the mad lads in the front.
@@goodmom1 I'm 53 and I think I could probably run a sub 7 and maybe 6:30 mile of I do a little speed work prior. I ran 4 hilly 8 min miles this morning.
At the age of 47 I bought me a fitness watch and started running on the 1:59 Kipchogi track here in lovely Vienna. Thanks for getting me going, Nick! 💪☝️☀️
I was an athlete most of my life (football, wrestling, basketball, baseball) until the last few years, 22 now, and watching your channel has motivated me to become a runner. Thnx boss
@@penguinsmoves that’s a 12 min two mile it’s not crazy special it’s not easy but you’ll have a couple kids from each school that can if it’s a big school or has a good xc team. There were two kids in my middle school that could
Nick my man your videos are awesome, I’m not a runner but I do the Murph once a week as my “cardio”, and I got a pack of run gum and it seriously helps, thanks for getting me into running!
For some reason I like 'to runners from runners' running events than official city, regional, national, international races. Feels more fun and genuine. Love the content Nick
Those edits are so awesome Nickon how stuff just disappears!! 🔥🔥A video idea could be last person to stop running wins, but every one has to run at the same pace?!
Nice! What would make this even better is if you'd have a restart, seconds after each elimination. Now, a tactic is just to get a gap, and for the leaders, it feels like mostly a normal race. If you'd force a restart after each elimination, there's no incentive to get a real gap anymore, and it starts to become all about strategy: conserving as much energy as possible, while not letting yourself be surprised/locked in.
@@Selin-bh8sf Cause he runs in college. It's a dumb rule but because he has a college coach he is considered "too good" to accept money from casual races
One of your best videos so far, very entertaining and great videography. I don't usually leave comments on videos, but this one's got me commenting. Please do another elimination race in the future!
Yo nick love your videos brother! Very motivating and nothing but realness from you all the time. When you coming northeast around Pennsylvania or anywhere close?
I've always been awful at running but your videos make me wanna get into it. If you're ever in LA I'll definitely try to participate just to see how insane these kinds of runners are in comparison to me
Pro tip: never play mixed water polo. Partly because my brother used to play, and he said the girls scared him. Partly because I was friends with the captain of a competitive girls water polo team (U18 I think), and she said there were times when she'd get out of the pool and be amazed that the opposing players would even talk to her...
I just realized how fast they were going. It might not look like it because of the camera angles, but I used to run sprints (50m, 100m 200m, 400m) and my PR for the 400m was like 57.4 seconds. They (at least at the beginning) were averaging about 1 min 20 seconds. When i first started running my sprint for the 400m was around 1.20. They were sprinting a lot of this.

Will you be coming to Kentucky
That Cam guy ran an awesome race. Wasn’t even trying, with his hands in his pockets and wearing a thick, oversized hoodie. Impressive stuff.
Dude needs a pair of gloves
Seems like he was just warming up
This dude would outrun Kipchoge probably
@@pereiraplaza222 😂really?
Shame he never got the $$$
The elimination mile was fun to watch, but the 5k is even better! More laps = more fun. Great video! :)
Glad you liked it!!
@@nicksymmonds nick,
Do you think that running a 2400m in 8:28 will be possible for me? Last year I ran a 9:05. I have till may to train

the dude in green with his hands in pockets
what an insult to have hands in the pockets 😂

chillin like a villain
Once I saw him running with his hands in his pockets at the beginning I knew he was going to win.
Nick: “I made it 4950 meters”.
Me: “Nick you forgot you got lapped. Sorry but you only made it 4550 meters.”
@@alfiecollins5617 no, he didn’t actually run 4950. He ran 4550
@@alfiecollins5617 He ran 4550. The winner ran 5k and lapped him he wasn't 50 metres behind the leader, he was 450 metres behind.
Good catch!! I must have been delirious from running so much. Remember I am an 800m runner!! :D
@@nicksymmonds yeahhh 5km is alot. My school's marathon is 5k and I take 30minutes to finish 😅
@@bunnyhead2448 I can’t even finish r 5km
Honestly Josie is incredible for leading the pack for an entire 2000 m in 6:10 pace! So speedy dude she’s so talented

I cannot believe i just watched some random people run for 18 mins without speeding it up.

Ditto!
Running is fun.
My favorite part of this channel is how positive Nick is about everyone no matter their pace. He makes everyone feel good, comfortable, welcome, and accomplished. Its really amazing
Is no one going to talk about the guy who was literally running the whole race with his hands in his hoodie 💀 man is a different breed

@@brandonleclair5271 stay jealous lmfao.
The guy is fast lol (but seriously I doubt this was anywhere near the best 5k hes run)
@@adrewster he could easily run low 15s or sub 15 if he was in peak shape, and was actually serious about it.

Nick please tell Evan how much swag he has, the drip is unbelievable oh my goodness evan please stop embarrassing the rest of us
I want to be able to run a 5:35 mile with my hands in my pockets

Its a Track Cycling World Level event... Always popular in the Big 6 day events.
That short middle schooler was my friend Ryan! He skipped school for 2 days to go to Oregon! I SWEAR THIS IS MY FRIEND!

never too late to get after it! Side note: I've always wanted to visit Vienna.

I remember when nick was at 70k subs he hearted so many comments. Now at almost 300k he still continues to do so.
What a legend.
who else thought ari was going to appear as soon as nick said ‘we need a devil’?
😂😂😂💯
Why
You mean ari from the athlete special
@@user-rq1fc8pc6v he’s the devil of Boulder
@@user-rq1fc8pc6v no shit who else would he be talking about
This was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done thanks for the experience!
"It's cold, it's like 35 degrees!"
Me living outside the United States: Damn that's sweltering hot.
Well, if you are thinking in celsius then that would be about 1 degree
I was an athlete most of my life (football, wrestling, basketball, baseball) until the last few years, 22 now, and watching your channel has motivated me to become a runner. Thnx boss
The legend in the green jumper with his hands is his pocket the whole time
It amazes me how you can just watch people run with his commentary and still be entertained. Great voice over Nick!
I love watching all the videos you do I hope I can compete in one of them one day.
Lots more events in 2021! Hope you can join us for one.
TYLER DESERVES A GOOD SPORTSMEN SHIP AWARD 🥇 great job bro for letting her run at-least another lap
5k's always go better when you have some RUN GUM before
AMEN!!
You should try a cooper test. It is running for 12 minutes far as you can
Yas that would be good
yassssss
In Russian high schools it's an obvious test - 12 minutes running, it's ok if you make more then 8 laps. didn't know it's like something special =)
@@penguinsmoves that’s a 12 min two mile it’s not crazy special it’s not easy but you’ll have a couple kids from each school that can if it’s a big school or has a good xc team. There were two kids in my middle school that could
@@penguinsmoves we also had that here in Hungary
But we did it from 4th to 7th grade in elementary school
My guy running with hands in a pocket just showing how much of a badass he is
Nick - “no one can outrun the devil” 8:48 : She outruns the devil
Nick my man your videos are awesome, I’m not a runner but I do the Murph once a week as my “cardio”, and I got a pack of run gum and it seriously helps, thanks for getting me into running!
The kid running with his hands in his hoodie pockets, LOL wins it.
Hey nick, I’m a xc freshman runner in Michigan, and I was wondering how to enter one of your videos like this
follow me on IG! I announce all of my meet up events there.
@@nicksymmonds thank you! I already follow you, but do you think you‘ll ever come by here in the Midwest we got some great runners
Same dude, who do you run for?
@@Qalorenz portage central, we went to states and we have a good chance of winning it when I’m a senior
Michigan gang
How was Cam running that fast with his hands on his pockets?
He’s built different 🤖
Probs that dodgy foot placement,almost crossing the legs surprised he didn’t fall
Well, when you're running you use your legs
I run just as fast as I usually do with my hands behind my back, not that hard.
That technique was popularized by Baki, called handopocketo, it conserves energy
For some reason I like 'to runners from runners' running events than official city, regional, national, international races. Feels more fun and genuine. Love the content Nick
The guy in the green hoodie running with his hand in his pockets 😂
Great video Nick! It was awesome to get out and race with you! I’m looking forward to 2021 races coming 👀🏃♂️
Those edits are so awesome Nickon how stuff just disappears!! 🔥🔥A video idea could be last person to stop running wins, but every one has to run at the same pace?!
I know it’s easy to miscount laps, but I’m pretty sure you still had a lap to go when you got eliminated 😉
lmao true
TRUE!! Good catch. Shows how often I race the 5k lol
17:55 you didnt make it 4950 meters you got lapped, so you made it 4550 meters
Was to lazy to write it so i searched in the comments for like 5 mins to like this post😅
So glad I found your channel! It's so awesome that you are doing these types of challenges!
Evan with a mullet is exactly what I needed this morning.
We are getting spoiled with this channel! Great entertaining high quality content that deserves way more views and subs!!!
Wow, the humble guy in a hoodie won! That's amazing!
This is the video I've been waiting all week for!
Respect to Tyler for letting Ryan win:)
No respect he won't get better that way
Nice! What would make this even better is if you'd have a restart, seconds after each elimination.

Thanks for letting us run Nick, we will fly out from Florida to run with you next summer!
Really appreciate the work you and of course your editor put into these videos! Very entertaining
your the G.O.A.T NICK
Love seeing the way Cam runs!
18:13 He looks so depressed after realizing that he can't take it
😭😭😭😂
Why couldn’t he take it? I didn‘t understand.
@@Selin-bh8sf Cause he runs in college. It's a dumb rule but because he has a college coach he is considered "too good" to accept money from casual races
We all know he still got the 100/ found a random $100 bill on the ground
Congratulations Nick! Amazing youtuber and an inspiration for me who started track and field training at my 30s
Looks like fun sometime I will have to be in one of these races
Another great video!! So awesome!! Well done, Nick!!
Congrats on 300k Nick!!!
4:13, he ran so hard his mask fell out.
Yessssssir
Awesome video as usual! Hoping you come to Chicago!
This just gets my hopes back up for outdoor track, I’ve been injured for the past 2 weeks with a TFL strain, hoping for some inspo
What a fun video, I have never ever watched a full video or live transmission of people competing in a run, not even Olympics. But this is fun.
Can you believe that , I guess I stay because of the narrator
You made Ryan's day. That was really nice
One of your best videos so far, very entertaining and great videography. I don't usually leave comments on videos, but this one's got me commenting. Please do another elimination race in the future!
Flew all the way from Florida in the middle of a pandemic.. for this race. Wow, no words
Yea IK him Nick is their idols I know one of them well
Yesssssir
Yall missed the point. They were not praising them. They were saying they were being really stupid.

You know your done for when someone has run half of it with his hands in his pockets
It saved him a lot of energy. That was a hack.
Get him to 300k subscribers
Great vid nick
Evan’s summoning the power of Craig Engels with that mullet
Yo nick love your videos brother! Very motivating and nothing but realness from you all the time. When you coming northeast around Pennsylvania or anywhere close?
Anyone gonna talk about how Ryan ran a 5:30 mile?? When he looks like 11??
He is one of my friends lol he is insane he is 13 tho
He’s 14
I got onto UA-cam at the right time!!! So hyped for this video!

Yes finally there's evan
Sporing an A+ mullet!!

Man, Cameron ran majority of the starting laps with his hands in his hoodie. Mad lad. 🖤💦
I'm betting that saved him a lot of energy.
I have been waiting for this video. So exited
Amazing world record in the men’s half marathon 57:30
Wow!
It was so nice how you hopped out of the way to let cam and the other guy run. so sweet
We all love the bison
Love your hardwork nick 1 million coming soon
Nick symmonds, I think I speak for everyone but, we want you to train Evan

I love seeing women competing and bring so fast! It inspires me! 🥳
