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.

[@konroh2]

I can appreciate your story, but it's hard for me to believe you put on a pound per day, and then took it off just as quick. Was the timeline perhaps a little longer than 3 months?

[@konroh2]

@@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.

I only run when forced but really enjoy your channel. And as a 39-year-old man who is still a fairly formidable powerlifter, but feeling the aches a little bit while pushing towards some pretty aggressive goals for my 40th, it's good to see that even ex Olympians are human beings when not 21 and in peak shape

That brings back so many memories. I grew up in Eugene, in a time when the only summer programs for preteens were at South Eugene and the nearby YMCA. I raced on the South track for two years in high school, being soundly beaten by the McChesney's, of course. Keep up the great videos, Nick.

[@seanaepley3180]

I run in the On Clouds as well, I'm not fast but they're still great for me. Enough ankle support and some cushion while still being able to "feel" the ground. Rocks do get directly in between the outer soles halves sometimes but not as bad as the original Nike Freerun.
