@@thibaultsantens5008 sorry, will have an international giveaway coming soon!
@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 🤷🏼♂️
@@John...44... czcams.com/video/EvT5XS7j-Dc/video.html
@@DHormone 👍🏼 watched that before, good video
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!
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 CZcams 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!
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 🙌🏾
Nike need to make some mattresses!!🏃♂️😴
That’s literally what I’ve been thinking
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.
You guys must not have kids lol 😂 I’m up at 430 to run long . Shorter days 530 or 6 but my kids are always up at 630 am regardless. I go to bed when they do at 730 /8 the latest .. just so I can get sleep too
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 CZcams channel. Each video better than the last!
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
@@adityavishwajitsingh1052 I know it was a joke
“5 minute pace is my “tempo pace”⁉️😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
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.
Really like the vids man encouraged me to start hittin the track and run more
5:50 As an extremely short person, these 8 seconds are very relatable
Haha great vid as usual man. Awesome that you don’t take yourself too seriously and are down to do goofy stuff like this.
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
Love your videos Nick! Keep up the great work
Thank you Caleb!!
I love the video Nick!😀👍
Let’s go niiick😆😆
Thank u 🙏
Appreciate all you do Nick!
Another great video Nick!!!!
Awesome vid- keep up the great work!!
Keep up the great content Nick.
I gotta say, I flinched a little when you took that saw to the shoe
Ha! Love it! My pair is coming Thursday and I'm pumped!
Another good video nick 👍👍👋
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 !!!
😂 we can always count on Nick to do crazy stuff like this!
Nick you should also takes entries for giveaways from all around the world bc we are keen to take part. We luv a lot bro🙏
Nick, I'm a new subscriber, I love your vids. Keep up the awesome work :)
Awesome video I love seeing your perspective on different shoes
Thank you!!
Really enjoy watching your videos Nick 👍
Loving the content!🥳
Hi Nick! Thanks for another entertaining video. How much more is it squishy than the next % ? Cuz personally the squishiness on next % doesnt bother me at all in contrast. Perhaps we all have different sensations when it comes to that
So much love for your fans, followers and subscribers!!! Appreciate you, 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 🤣🤣🤣
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 💪🔥
Thank you for the videos. You inspired me to run again. Thank you. You are an amazing runner.
Wow tysm for showing us the shoe! It's stunning!
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!
Nick is a down to earth guy 😜
What a good guy you say hi to your fans Even when your on a date or work or running awesome!!
Nick is such a good content creator and entrepreneur. I’m surprised he doesn’t have 1M subs 😉
Best running channel out there
You are the best, man!)
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
Love the honest reviews, no bullshit
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.
@@nicksymmonds yes thank you im only 12 and i enjoy all the runs and videos
The outfit was epic! Especially the tights with the shirt in 🤣🤣🤣.
Did i miss your 4th 100m race? Did u break 11sec?
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!
Love this channel!
I was ready for you to cut those expensive shoes 😂
Oh I will... 😁
@@nicksymmonds nick always alphafly sleep,date,run,eat,work,job, height,joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Love your vids keep it up
Nick I have not watched u for so long for 2 weeks
You rocked that date night fit!
Nicks in shape💪
getting there!! :D
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? 😕
Now then it is time for one mile new record wearing these shoes again Nick:) greetings from Italy.
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
Honest review ..respect!!
Nick is so underrated, he has fantastic content
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.
I WAS SCREAMING WHEN YOU WERE ABOUT TO SAW THEM OPEN I cannot hahaha
So you recommend these for long distance runners? And this video is dope🔥
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.
Nike: ' 5:00 mile pace is my tempo pace.'
The World: Really? That's not so bad for an old Bison.
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 you inspired me to start running again and now I'm going to start my own running channel thanks Nick
I'll check out the channel when is ready!
That is GREAT to hear!
Solidddd Video...2012 London Olympics recap?
Great vibes, great content!
Just bought some run gum from target. How long before a race should you chew it.
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....
I ran a 4:00 with the vaporfly, wonder what I can run with the alphafly
great video... entertaining and informative in one shot you're getting really good at this video blogging
Great video!
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!😃
@@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.
Hey Nick. I was wondering if you had any advice for the off-season after xc leading into track. I know for summer training towards xc you want to get a good base, but what about in the winter leading into track? I run long distance during track (1 mi and 2 mi)
Looks dope. Nick, you should do a half marathon on these.
Thank you for your review . I’m not a runner , do you think this pair suitable for daily wear and HIIT workout ? Thank you 🙏
don’t think so, says it’s unstable and hated standing in em
guys how is this guy not at 15 mil subs yet its the best content on the platform
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.
The commitment is unreal
9:50 when you have date night at 6 but you have to run a marathon at 6:30
Nick, my feet are very blister prone in the pinky toe. Have tried many running shoes, and only Newton's Gravity 8 with the lugs can really keep the blisters from growing. Are these Vaperfly/Alphafly doing the same?
10:36 Nick says go to bed early.... me: watching this video at 2AM
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 😉
Great tip about going to bed early and great comment about subscribers.
Ryan bombed their date night. 😂😂
Was the crazy looking overpronation (on road test) from the huge heel, camera angle, or your natural stride? Regardless I could see being worried about rolling an ankle in those things on any kind of turn
Can’t wait to try the Wintergreen rungum today.
my new favorite flavor!!
Yes please compare to the Vapors before giving it the Ginsu slice and dice! Enjoyed this video 👍
What do you think about the middle and high school cross country season do you think it will be the same
Awesome video🙌🏽
Thank you!
Nick you the goat
Nick, please make the Alphafly from the giveaway to be with worldwide shipping!
What is a stable shoe that won't roll your ankles but still responsive and maintaining enough cushion for a comfort run? (Plantar fasciitis)
I’n you’re opinion what is the best run gum flavor
Hi. Nick you are the best runner of your time.
Nick I love your video I watch them everyday
Thank you for watching my videos!!
