    You wanna know something crazy. When I was 15 my best friend killed him self and I got really depressed and within 3 months I went from a physical fit 180 to out of shape and over weight 270. It wasn’t until by random chance I was at the gym my sister worked at waiting for her to get off I was bored and saw a running magazine that looked interesting. The magazine was doing a special on Nick Symmonds and it went into detail on his workout routine and training habits etc… What interested me most about the magazine was how he had a 1 month workout schedule that he made super easy to follow along. The great thing about the program was that he focused on a a lot of pool exercises so being over weight it was much easier for my body to get used to that. After following that for a month I noticed a great change in my body and become fully committed to the fitness lifestyle. Within 3 months I was back down to 190 and in the best shape of my life.
    Now I am 21 still into fitness and I have to say thank you Nick, you unintentionally helped me change my life around when I was in my lowest point in my life.
    Recently I just watched your “running a mile every hour for 24 hours” and it wasn’t until after the video that it clicked in my head that you were the dude on the magazine I read 6 years ago!
    Thanks for everything you do you’re a great inspiration. I’m glad I was able to express how great full I am for what you did to my life I hope you get the chance to read this.

      @@10willybilly Good job. While knowing your workout plan would be interesting, what's more interesting to me is the mindset it would take to turn it around. I've gone through that in my life, it's like a switch turning on, but I wonder about the spiritual change, the paradigm shift, the mindset it takes to do that. There are always other factors going on--if we could really explain that we'd have something.

    Somewhere I have a photo from about 1974 with me and Steve Prefontaine. Thinking it was at the LA Forum. Possibly the LA Sports Arena. It was not a posed shot. A very good friend of mine snapped it.

    Hey Nick, I don’t know if you’ve ever covered this on your channel, but do you intentionally strike the ground with the outside of your foot when racing? I vaguely remember seeing you in a video on an another channel as an example of a runner doing this for speed.

      @@kyllianvanleeuwen8835 I don’t want to get into everything as he might’ve deleted it for a reason. The most important piece he gave was that landing on the outside of the foot is called pronation. I’ve found the video where I first heard ab it: ua-cam.com/video/MVNo4EoVkXM/v-deo.html
