Crazy how Simeon’s name was barely mentioned until the final 100 meters. Nobody saw him doing what he did here.

[@owenchristy3424]

4:13 I saw him right here and I thought it’d be crazy if he won bc he’s running more than a mile by not being in the 1st lane and he was way behind but tbh i didn’t think he was gonna win lol

[@trancemaster5009]

Trust me, they won´t do this again..

[@molder2233]

To be fair, he was trailing significantly through the first 3+ laps and didn’t have the same PR as some of these other fellas. Beating his PR by 7 seconds over a mile is pretty ridiculous. Don’t know if he made changes to his training but whatever he’s doing, it’s working. Have to wonder what his ceiling is after making such a significant gain, kid’s got a lot of potential.

[@JackHandelman]

he wore the main character glasses so it is easier for us to keep track of him

[@trancemaster5009]

He was actually sub 2 min (800m split), because the announcers always forget they don´t start at the 400m start line, but 9m back.

[@johnnyd.j.6068]

He was in the second lane for half the race 😳

[@cadendevries6513]

bro trains at 2/3 of a mile in the sky, the air he breathes while training is so thin that when he gets to regular altitudes, the dude is an absolute beast. i saw him run at state track in sioux falls, dude was legit 25 seconds ahead of second place

[@castlebravo956]

yeah my grandparents live in spearfish, and over the summer i knew i shouldve pushed through with my running conditioning, but i lost the mental game and paid the price this xc season. next summer im going to push through and hopefully become a much better runner. btw im a sophomore running averaging around 2 minutes faster than my last xc season.

[@Trzntxn]

@@castlebravo956 the mental game is everything. Stay strong and do not quit. Take this from me, somebody who was on the trajectory to run D1 but was battling demons and lost to them. I’m just now getting back into the running groove (1 year and 8 months later) and I hope I can bounce back.

[@GemmyDonCars]

Man, without running in Lane 2 and a little better start, he could go a few seconds faster, no doubt.

[@seegriffrun]

What an incredibly smart and insane race he ran! Running from behind and on the outside of the pack is extremely difficult. The fact that he did that for the majority of the race and STILL had that kick in the last 100m 😳 Man I miss high school track!! Those kids are gutsy.

[@psyso-cleanedits8953]

How does the pacing work if it’s an invitational. Did he make the meet and then decide to just pace two laps, or was he one away and they gave him a pacing job or what

[@connorhill9047]

No idea. I always assumed they had to qualify to pace. In my mind, that makes the job much more Nobel. Just commenting to hear the answer.

I wish I loved running again. I used to be decent at it, as a kid until I fell for the BS about it reducing strength gains from old bodybuilders on the internet. Just gradually got slower over time, use it or lose it and all

[@maciejguzek3442]

except obviously it is not BS. Prioritizing conditioning you cannot prioritize strength. And you blame others for your own decision.. This doesn't look good.

[@music4dages]

I started my running career after being a shot putter for two years in high school. I was the best JV thrower in our high school. When I switched to Cross Country and Track, I became the best two miler and three miler in our high school. My secret: all the strength that I built up as a shot putter. It gave me power that a lot of the runners lacked. I also didn't stop the weight training. BTW, as a shot putter I was about 30 pounds lighter than my competitors. I simply had terrific upper body strength and speed to move across the circle. My best throw for the shot was 51 feet. My best two mile was 9:45.

[@maciejguzek3442]

@@music4dages your 'secret' may rather be that you are (or were) very athletic overally, and not combining different sport experiences. Anecdotic evidence is not a proof. Endurance training does act against strength training , which the op doesn't believe..

[@macree01]

Nick Symmonds is like 30 lbs heavier than when he competed in the 800 and 1500. He literally can no longer run a sub 5 min mile, but was a sub 4 guy when he was competitive. Not dissing either side, but you cannot really have both. Especially if you’re trying to get anywhere in the ballpark of competitive times. The way I always see it, you maybe strong but you would be out-sprinted by all of these guys before you’d even be able to fight them. Speed vs Strength is always going to be one of the classic arguments, unfortunately they both kind of cancel each other out.
