- I LOVED my time as a professional runner, but there were definitely some tough days. In this video I share with you the three things I liked least about being a pro runner. If you have a question for me, DM it to me on Instagram! / nicksymmonds

My husband coached distance runners at many levels and had several former runners who became Olympians later on. Your point about shelf life/borrowed time is important to all runners. I remember one of my husband's best distance runners tore an ACL because another coach asked this runner to try the high jump. He was not happy with that coach. Young runners need to make sure they select a college to get an education as well as further their athletic career.
Nick is looking at a checklist each video to mention the following: He’s the ceo of rungum, he’s a two time Olympian, and he’s giving away a free pair of shoes each week.
would you ever do like a tour across the country and race in different places
Absolutely!!
Hey Nick, could you talk about post run regiments (stretching/cool down) you recommend? Thanks
-from someone training for their first marathon
Guess not
Really excited to see the "Nick Symmonds Track Classic" making a come back those are among my favorite videos you've made.
I love your disarming honest insights. Thanks Nick.
Nick you're the goat, you've inspired me so much this year for track. These videos are great btw
Great vid, I just got into running track and your one of the main reasons.
When he said loneliness that hit home.
Just wanna say that your amazing storyteller and it is a blast to listen to you.
Hey Nick, not sure if you'll see this but you've really helped in inspiring me to really work hard during the track off-season, even going as far as to do XC as a sprinter. So thank you for doing what you're doing and keep it up.
Also hope to make it to the 100m and long jump days.
yoo caught an upload before going heading to practice! Love the vids 🔥
have a great practice!
Another great video from Nick as usual!
Great honest contents! Love that.
I will definitely look at this one after do 300 abs.
Very inspiring Nick.. im an unfit 50yr old i first ran a 2.42 400m. Ive only done it 3 more time the last time i did in 1.49. Just seeing improvements is great and motivates me
Hey Nick, love your videos! You should come to NH and do a race video!
Nice upload! When are you going to talk about the experience of going through doping procedures?
Lol @ the thumbnail 😂 "BRUH"
Glad Nick is picking up on the lingo of GEN Z
Simmonds
You are an amazing speaker!
Love from New Delhi, INDIA
I was a fan of you as an athlete, even more of fan of you as a podcaster
I love your track series! Such fun. Have you talked about your training plan on this channel or IG? Did I miss it?
Sums up a heck of a lot of other professional sports too.
Tennis,Golf,Football are just a few that all demand so much from the athlete and time is ticking.
Great video Nick!
Thank you Jack!!
Nick Symmonds was a great 800 meter runner. He never won an Olympic gold but was close to it a few times.
Nick Symmonds marathon please!
YESSS A VIDEOOOO
Very insightful video Nick. Also you should come to New England and host a race! (I’m from Maine by the way)
I still need the Maine highpoint! And LOBSTER!!!
Nick Symmonds Too If you host a race up here you gotta run it in a lobster costume!
You’d make a damn good coach Nick! Running life may not be over for u. Get some talent under your wing and help them bring a medal back to USA. I think you’d be a great at starting a super elite running team similar to NN that hyper specializes in middle distances. 😀👍🏼
It's too bad that it's in the middle of my track season and I can't skip my meets to fly out for these events
LFG for the Nick Symmonds Track Series
Can you make a video on how to run with pain, how to push throughout the pain?
I feel like this is the hardest part about being a runner.
Great video enjoyed it why didn’t you move up to marathon racing and 10k racing
Very similar to what I've experienced in my employment history; 10 jobs in 40 years. Most of the past ones were 'lotteries' in that the places were closed down on a moments notice (bankruptcy, moving to a cheaper location). You learn to live with it and always have a back-up plan. And I'd call it 'aloneliness' , not loneliness. That comes with all the job changes, as your former fellow employees also move on and you loose 'track' of them (pun intended), and you don't form any close friendships or relationships with anyone.
Hi Nick. I am Masters Track and Field middle distance runner. I love your channels and I really appreciate your candid advice. I live in New Zealand so if you ever make it over here let me know. Would probably be a few years from now I guess? Maybe we can meet up with another famous Nick, Nick Willis who has trained me a few times. Would be nice to crank out a few 200s with you Olympic legends!!! Also, if you need a distributor of your rungum over in NZ, maybe I could help? Cheers
Come to south Texas! Some great runners in the rgv
Well spoken
When are you coming to cleveland???? Love the videos!
This summer!!
Nice vid🔥🔥
Come to arkansas!!! Lots of runners here

What’s the most painful race you’ve ever run?
Honolulu Marathon 2017 :D

Ask Nick: Was it hard not to go to Beijing in 2015?

Yo Nick talk to me when you come out with the nick symmonds decathlon
Really wish I could be there
It’s my dream to one day run professionally
Yo nick do you think you could do a video on 5k tips and how to run it faster? Thanks
coming soon!!!
@@NickSymmondsToo your the best man
Love that neither a pro or con was success/failure at meets
One of the hardest jobs in the world, if not thee hardest.
Sir please add steeplechase to that list ❤️
You sutch a good runner! Guys get your rungum!
Where would we go?
Y is nicks left eyebrow always above his right when u look at him
Where can I find the locations for the track classic events?
And other video events
Follow me on Instagram! I will be dropping the details there soon
Hey Nick! I am a freshman track runner and my parents won’t let me have instagram, could you put out the times and locations to the meets on this channel? I am in southern Washington so it will be a little bit of a drive but hopefully not too bad. I am looking forward to hopefully running in the 800, mile and 5k!!
good parents
100th like ‼️
Thanks for the like!!
First. Love the vids
Thanks for being first!!!!
Don't know how you could avoid injury with that regiment.
I wish I could go lol
Like in marathon training…the miles don’t log themselves! 🥴 if you’re not dying by the end of training, yeah, you’re doing it wrong! 😆
actually that s.not a good.way to.train,.even.for.ur heart
@@MMABeijing 🙈
🔥🙌🏽🔥
noti gang 😂
Great video! I also make running videos!
Can European people win the shoes too?
IM DISAPPOINTED NICK,I DONT SEE ANY 800M HURDLES ON THE AGENDA,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Are there negative things? You run for living…
I'd kill for that!
Edit: the first 2 are literally positive for me bc I want to train alone I don't like talking with people and also since I am lazy I don't want to do a mental job as the 90%+ of the jobs.
i want to win some shoes !!!🔥
Bruh, the thumbnail
