Big fan
Me: "I really don't have time to run today"
Also me: "Let's watch a 20 minute video of other people running!"
this called me out
Funny
lol nice
👀
😂
5k strategy
step 1. wear a watch
step 2. pick a goal you can achieve
step 3. run at that pace
step 4. forget the watch for the last mile, and book it
My strategy is to go out for an "easy run". See I start fast and have a good pace and decide to fuck it and go.as hard as I can for the whole 5k lol
@@HeyItsJoe1 I've ran 10k PRs like that, go out at a comfortably quick pace for the first mile and not bother to slow down.
Facts. Whenever I do a 5k I make sure the first 1.5 miles I keep a steady easy pace and then just full on get after it. It’s easier that way in my experience
@@HeyItsJoe1 lmao the middle school in my town always does a last day 5k thing right kinda like to get kids out and as a fundraiser. So, of course there is an option to actually compete, so I do that. I’m the complete opposite of you man. I’m low key kinda lazy especially if I get bored😂😅. So what I do is I just hang around the middle to back of the runners for the first 1.5 miles. After that for .5 miles I pick up the pace enough to make up some time. And for the last mile I go full out and let me tell you...nothing is funnier than sprinting past the people leading especially since they are our best runners and all guys(I is a girl) like the look on their face is priceless and I don’t think I’ve ever had that many curses yelled at me before. Sorry just a funny story I wanted to share😂
Mine is not being that confident and starting slow and then gaining confidence as people in front of me get slower and just keep passing them the whole race
Nick not even talking about how he had a news interview 😂
lol yeah I was surprised they showed up!
Nick Symmonds How long were they they for? Was it the entire race or just before it
Joe Babba He was there for basically the whole time
Nick Symmonds If you’re a sports reporter these days the pickings are slim. ESPN.com has been reporting on NBA2K tournaments. Ya take what you can get... ;-)
“I’m hoping to break 20”
Breaks 18...
tbf sub 20 5k wouldnt be very hard for most ppl, it would be weird if he did a sub 20.
Rock a 5k is 3.1 not 4 miles
Rock the average person with no training would struggle with a sub 23 lol
Pandas Uncle true. at first i was in 21:07 and now i’m at 19:03 :) (10 months later)
@@tyler_7749 no training bruh, I would say sub 30. Most people cant even run 5k do you know how out of shape people are
Why did the guy in the gold Speedo look just like nick 😂😂😂

Can we give Jen some more love? Beat Nick and Evan, as well as 95% of the competition
Ikr
@@colinnn123 lucky
Totally agree! wish we’d seen more of Jen’s race. I don’t know if a split screen or going back and forth between them would’ve been better but it was a bit disappointing to only hear about her for a couple seconds at like 3 points in the video while so many of the male competitors got lengthy shoutouts and more camera time
Major props to the girl in the pink shirt. Im more impressed with her than anyone else on the track. Good for her for taking charge of herself and giving it everything she has!
Always fun to watch these races. I'd come up if you hosted a sprint race (100 or 200m)!!
he did host one earlier in quarantine, maybe he will host another one soon!
H
5k for $100 and then $5k for 100m
I would like to come where does he host this stuff at?
Same what's ur fastest on a 200m
JENN just got 16'42 with a 20s stop for miscounting laps. That could be a 16'20/16'22 if she kept running. Really phenomenal run.
She was really fast obviously but I was there she only stopped for like 10 seconds tops B4 someone told her to keep going
@@Michaelleff13 in the video you can see she stops at 15'04 and starts again at 15'23 or something.
@@riccardogiovetti ik but I saw her stop when I was like 50 meters away and she started going B4 I got to her so he probably edited it like that
I don't know if you are familiar with race s but it doesn't work like that. Who is to say the break she took didn't give her that last energy. Sometimes breaks are bad, they make your body stop doing something it is use too for like 20 minutes. Then restarting it takes time.
Who else is waiting for Evan to make his first video!
Edit: thanks for all the like !
Ripped Beast Me
Ripped Beast he's in my district and my friends good friends with him, it's cool seeing him here
The person I'm replying to is sexy af, I ran Track and XC against Evan the last few years also nice name lol
gotta say it was a HELL of a time coming out here to lose to nick by a mere 20 seconds!! I'll get you next time!
Great Job man!!!!!!!!
I like how he always gives David Rudisha the respect he deserves. Love all the videos man!!
the girl runs 16'40" with a break in between, crazy fast!!
She did one lap less
@@luispastor8089 thats her time still after she realized she missed the lap. thats her time including that pause
@@luispastor8089 She waited 20 seconds confused... she would have run probably 16:15-18 crazy!
Next year or whenever the COVID thing is “over” you should most definitely have your own track meets or races wether it be on the track or some type of short marathon
I agree. If he does im def coming from NY and participating.
I'll make a trip from ChiTown
@@arogueburrito that would be awesome
"some type of short marathon" I don't know about you but I've never heard of a short marathon
As in bringing back the Straight 8?
Thanks for doing this Nick it was awesome!! Didn’t have my best race but so fun to be able to race. Sorry for the false start in the beginning 😂🤣🤣
Your awesome either way. Keep running and training.
Have to say that Evan’s prize was pretty awesome. Nick played it down a little when he gave it to him but that is one hell of a gift. Wow.
That’s an amazing gift, better than the 100 bucks
Does Evan secretly work for you??
I wish!
This gives me cross country nostalgia...
My cross country practice has been going for 2 weeks
Eli Weber Same like 2 or 3
Me too
When i did my 5th grade track meet, i got first place in both events. I love thinking about it cause i did the 100 meter dash and the medley relay. I totally smashed the 100 meters and left everyone in the dust. Once I came back to the risers, all the teachers called me "Legs". It sounded kinda weird but that was fine. Then when i did the medley relay, i was the last 100 meters to run. I didnt really have to try because we were already 100% going to win. It was super epic when everybody in ur school cheers except for the other schools that are sad lol. Its such an achieving moment. Thats why i love to think about it.
Eli Weber we just did our first time trails at 1.5 miles our tweak is good we had 6 boys to sub 9
Nick, I’m 61, one day we can do a scaled race! You give me a head start then chase. So fun!! If you don’t like that idea we’ll do Murph straight up! Ok, I keep having ideas, we can also race bikes or rowing machines.
Philip Roesel or why don't you just get a room and have at him?
@@stupidas9466 I think I am intelligent, but I don't know how to reply to that comment. I like to race.
Philip Roesel what does intelligence mean
No one:
Nick: Evan's got incredible range
always the bride's maid never the bride
Jen 16:42!?! After stopping! Very impressed!
She had to run much more
what's Jen's 16:42 translate to men's time?
howardOKC A minute slower? Or what do you mean? It’s 16:42 no matter how you slice it:)
howardOKC that is a loaded question. I would say take a minute and a half off, but there are too many variables. She is a very fast female, because she also stopped. This is equal or possibly a better effort than the men’s.
@@howardOKC considering the men’s record is 12:35 and the women’s is 14:06 she ran significantly faster than the men technically! 👏
That speedo guys song at the end though.. 🔥🔥🤣
Run Gum inspires my art.
He comes to every video he’s my favorite runner because he never gets mad even when he gets 2nd he’s awesome
*Hands Evan the Olympic shirt*
Evan: If this has been worn before, you can keep it.
It such an awesome gift! And it's a small so it actually fits me! Waaayyy better than any $100 could be
@@evandarunner1974 love how much of a competitor you are man! you have a lot of talent!
Evan Gonzalez I was wondering are you going into junior year or your senior year
@@ebreezy4x I'm headed into my senior year, but I'm quite young for a senior

Thank you Nick for keeping everyone entertained at the track and on CZcams. Awesome job.
That was an amazing gift for Evan! Very nice of you Nick! Loved all these track series videos. Well done!

Colab!!!
Brenden Seipke Nick and Josh from In The Long Run need to collab!
Yes, I've been waiting for the 5k race!
Hope you like it!!
I honestly believe this is gonna grow so much. Nick, you are an absolute legend... I love this series... It's crazy that it took me so long to even watch these..
Josh/In the Long Run is a phenomenal runner, glad to see he made it out there. Really nice time, too.
Maintaining contact was definitely going on through my head! Thanks for putting on a great event Nick!
In The Long Run You did great man, loving your channel! Keep it up
Will Frohling thanks man! 🙂
Yes finally a 5k race!!!! Perfect for this cross country season
I love your videos Nick. I have been watching your channel since 2 months and everytime you post something new I already now it is going to be great and that it will make my day. Keep up all the great work! Greatings from northern germany :)
Nick Symmonds, you rock. Love what you're doing with this stuff. Very impressive sir.
You should do a race or challenge called the “Micheal Scott challenge” and you should eat a takeout container of Alfredo pasta then run a 5k
Hi nick, first off thank you for the amazing content, something you could consider if you are going to do another race you could take everyone's temperature before the race. This could help you prevent people spreading covid 19. Thanks again for the great content
Just watched you win the 2007 800m and was recommended your channel, its awesome seeing you doing this for the track community! Loved the vid
Nick man, you do the best CZcams videos! I enjoy every one you make! You're a gifted commentator too.
I've been waiting for this video for so long!!! Can't wait to watch, I would have liked to have been there to race and record a video but Eugene is a little too far away for me! Keep it up Nick!! And great job Ryan the Videographer!
I’m excited to watch In The Long Run in today’s race!
Thank you Parker!! You'll have to join us for a meetup video one day.
I tried a 5k once and felt like I died after😂
It is a TOUGH distance!
@@nicksymmonds I am in 9th grade and I run 4:49 mile I would love to run at your races but there to far you should come to Ga

Omg, we love you so much, Nick! What a great show. I wish you would keep the races going.
Yeay 5K has arrived! What’s next? 10K?
Has to be steeple chase! 😄
A 10 000 meter race on track would be really something. They would definitely need a bell to let the runners know when they were on their last lap.
Thank you for wearing face coverings for the last meet up. I was concerned just because there are people from all over the country and cases are spiking everywhere! Awesome video
Your videos may have been ages, but I love and I enjoy watching 'em all even if it means watching them over and over again...i feel like I'm with you guys in every event that you have..keep safe and stay healthy. Subscriber here from the Philippines..
who else looks forward to these every week?
i love your channel by the way and bought run gum and it tastes really nice and really helps with races, definitely recommend
Guy in the speedos is legendary 😂
Had to mention rungum when being interviewed by that media guy 😂
Nick. I remember when you had less than 10k subscribers.....now look where youve blown up to haha. Keep up the great work man, truly believe you have the most underated channel on youtube.
😉I clicked the like button. You all should to.
Thanks for all the motivation Nick!!! I loved to watch you run in your prime as you got this 40+ yr old to start running again. Just had left knee surgery, running again top strengthen. Don't think I'll stop ever again... Keep up the great work and stay safe bro.
Cool, keep running bro
Nick: “I’m just trying to break 20 minutes today”. Also Nick: “I come through the line at 17:53”
hey man i was at this race i loved it soo fun! i got to talk to evan and he is really amazing i was rooting for him. i am nolan idk if u remember me i run for stc and i hope to come to your next race anyway thanks and keep up the great work!
I love your channel you actually make running enjoyable your enthusiasm for running has got me running I started at a 25minute 5k I’m now down to a 23minute 5k after just over 2 weeks of running I hope to run sub 20minutes by the end of the year. Keep up the videos I really appreciate them.
YESSS BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER VIDEO WITH THE SUBSCRIBERS 🤩🤩
Evan is the biggest winner with that USA OLYMPIC SHIRT! NICK is such a great guy!! RESPECT!!
I feel like I would’ve definitely lost track of the amount of laps of I completed
YES Nick!! Wish I was in America so I could come along and give you a push for your money! Love the content bro. We need a UK Nick Symmonds!
Best Chanel ever! Nick keeps it fresh, fun, and entertaining, true to the lifestyle of running. Please keep the meetups going, I would love to come and join you sometime. Thanks for the running tip of "Maintaining Contact".
Nick the speedo guy put on a real case for the 5k MVP... Man knows how to entertain a crowd!
Omg I was waiting watching the 1 mile rn
Thank you for watching my videos!!
Nick Symmonds no problem I was waiting for the 5 k and it came out i was soo happy
Nick found this video kind of late as it's September now but this one earned you another sub. I SUBSCRIBED! Great events man!
Nick, your videos always put a smile on my face - thank you!
Me: gets 24 minutes in 5k
Nick: Gets 17 minutes in 5k
Me:T_T
What
My best was like 24:40, so you’re doing good in my book!
24 minutes is still above average 5K time especially if you are female and teen
TAHBKS
nick was a former olympian tho
Anyone else see the false start at the intro. Lol 😂 that guy from Pennsylvania had to go big if he traveled that far.
Oh looks like they addressed that false start.
What! Nick the speedo guy did go big!
Let’s go Evan!
Keep this series up!! I love it!
Can't wait to try run gum! I love you videos. I used to run a lot last year but switched to cycling. I miss running now.
damn, I wish I was there; I need to race another 5k soon since my 21:07 from last year is getting really stale and I got trolled in the final xc meets by some cramps and hills
I'm sorry, but the real winner here is the Ukulele and speedo guy!
I teared up when you told him to drive safe. I get it with how sad it is to have part of a running community leave. This was a great vid. As a XCTF coach and former 800m guy runner, this one hit a lot of good emotional note (as well as loving that you talked about folks being safe).
Mate, I've only recently started watching your channel but I have to say, your cheeky "smash that like button" gets me cracking up every time. It's so overt and unapologetic that I just have to smash it. 🤣🤣🤣
First one here!Anybody else wants to see what time he gets to compare to yours?..
Jen is phenomenal! She beat Evan though she had stopped thinking she had finished and had to run another lap. She needs a nike contract!!!
This video was great! Thanks for giving it your best Nick!
Evan is so fun to watch, and an incredible person too. Giving him that shirt was awesome!
Nick is a leader. This is how you host events that can be fun and safe. There’s always going to be people who complain Nick. Props to you for doing the best you can to follow procedures etc
he could've required masks and 6 foot separation (the bare minimum) and did not. he distributed them but even he didn't wear it for part of the event.
Did we just see a world record for the speedo ukulele run?
nick, u really inspire me to run, now I am building my running habit and try to run three times a week. I have finished my first 5k yesterday and my time is around 29mins. Hope I can be a good runner like u guys😄
Great video as always!
When I do my park runs in England my best is 24:07 but on track it is 22:47 and I'm 11
Cap
My friend did 18,09 on a road race and he is 12 years old and i did 18,37
Bruh I’m 17 and my best on the sidewalk is 24:25
When I ran on a gravel road barefoot I ran a 15:40 and I'm 6.
@@nickbiancuzzo When I ran on desert sand barefoot I ran a 15:39 and I'm 6
Evan's eyes lit up and I know he felt a surge of adrenaline when Nick showed him that "really something special" he had for it. I'm only mentioning it because he says it 1min into the video. I know the feeling just because that's how I felt getting the autographs of so many pros at some of the big meets. Have yet to get yours though Nick, even though you chatted with us on the central California coast for several minutes during one of your runs.
finally 5k, good luck Nick!!
I can't wait for another racing series, these videos are great!
The girl is a rocket. :) She is proportionally faster than the men.
I can still feel that speedo chafing!
Nick and Ryan did an awesome job on this.
That speedo is not comfortable running attire.
MVP
Love the race series Nick!
This was so entertaining. Nick s commentary was fun to listen to. When are we going to hear your BIG Track meet commentary
what a man, he's a massive inspiration to me, he's given me some confidence and I've decided to make a youtube channel about my running and body transformation, would appreciate any support
who else wishes that evan has a youtube channel
He does, he just doesn’t post because he’s not sure he has the video editing skills, but I’d still watch it anyways. 🤷♂️

Hey Nick ima big fan I got a 2 mile run in today but it would make my day if you replied :)
better title "Catch covid for $100!"
Good for you smartly and safely hosting a community event like this and sticking up for it! I have a dumb run question though: what does it mean when two leaders “work together” how does switching off leading laps help? I just think of it as tiring yourself out more, I never ran track and always wanted to. Your videos are really helping me learn, since you narrate races and stuff. Speaking of which, you could totally host a podcast (if you don’t already) if you can find things to talk about for an entire 5k hahaha!
Every video is interesting and the races were the best. Best Vlogger with good running content so far. Greetings from your avid subscriber in Philippines.
