Yo. Is this guy a former Olympian and CEO of Rungum ?

[@MichealOxlong-g6o]

oisín spillane yea it’s basically a cup of coffee in gum form

[@ParkerMax]

Actually you may know him as 2 time olympian or the CEO of the energy gum company: RunGum.

[@ethanpapa4676]

man yk I just don't know it's not like that's ALL HE SAYS

[@Innocuousdumbo46]

Yeah he is

[@christophersmith3254]

Hmm i dont know. I havent heard it enough

[@dashingtulip555]

People are complaining about it being old but at least it's not a re upload and still a good video in my opinion. U just can't please everyone

[@shangrila73eldorado]

this Nick is a sharp contrast to the jovial present-day Nick. he's meaner in this video

[@notjeckup]

shangrila73eldorado He’s in that Olympic level mindset

[@shangrila73eldorado]

@@notjeckup I follow his more recent stuff and there's a huge difference in his attitude. he's even talked about adjusting his attitude. i wouldn't follow him if he was so cocky now.

[@enceofthewind4145]

shangrila73eldorado cocky? Not the right word. He held himself up to high standards, and had the mindset of a competitor at the highest tier. Now he's less serious, but he was always entertaining.

[@heightdevil]

Could be a symptom of his lower body fat, it affects your mood way more than you'd expect.

[@finlayhutchinson7370]

Only like 6 years late

everyone got RunGum after the practice

[@jacobanteau6020]

It's amazing to me that nick wasn't always injured with his wacky mechanics

[@thomasdigiuni7037]

He was able to run 1:42 with his mechanics so i guess his body got a little bit used to those

[@jacobanteau6020]

@@thomasdigiuni7037definitely. He's still a legend. My comment did come off a lil disrespectful. It's just unorthodox and unique I guess

[@maxl5423]

His mechanics are really good , upper body mechanics vary with a lot of runners but lower body mechanics are similar in all runners , his foot lands in front of his center of mass with no over striding

[@ianwalsh5567]

Bro 8x1k is no joke, by far one of the more painful workouts I have ever done 😭😭😭

[@Captainsparkist]

Where is the wacky Nick Symmonds gimmick to make running interesting?

[@datastatsforeveryone1856]

Personalities are big part what makes sports great. Specially something like track and field that is not always most interesting by nature. Athletes probably are too neutral and bland these days. Often the ones who show personality are the ones who are remembered and loved the most. Ofc doing well helps too :)

[@datastatsforeveryone1856]

Like in Tennis Nick Kyrgios is the best thing since the big three came along

[@Captainsparkist]

@@datastatsforeveryone1856 I was talking about how Nick Symmonds youtube channel has weird gimmicks but good response.

The Best Nick Symmonds..

[@japsahibdhillon5014]

Nick is awesome!!

[@robertbell387]

Nick looks a lot leaner here than in his own videos. This had me thinking this was a super old video.

[@leonchristensen1765]

The time of the run is irrelevant if you don’t mention how long the rest is. I can do 1 fast km a day too.

[@hsfault8766]

But can you do 8 times of that fast 1k? You can probably find this workout somewhere in Nick's training journal for the 2016 olympics

[@lebron269]

@@hsfault8766 Lol, yeah 3min per km seems achievable if the rest time is one day

[@hsfault8766]

Except the rest time in this case is around 2 minutes since 3 minutes per km would be slower than their 10k pace

[@leonchristensen1765]

RandomGuy lets be honest. I’m not running a 3 minute km no matter how long the rest. The levels to running are just unreal.

[@robylongo]

A common rest for 1k workouts is 60-90 seconds

[@aubreyjohnson2551]

Great content!

[@jale5129]

Rest between the laps how many minutes?

[@kylemalachowski]

U get a free pack of run gum after this?

[@djjemo]

Still impressed... sweet

[@Renehansen111]

Question i have seen a lot of these training running sessions on flotrack here, why is it always 8x km and not 1 km under 3 min fx?

[@Renehansen111]

Isint it better with fx interval 30 sek 10 off etc? like hiit training?

[@domrun3547]

René Hansen it trains the aerobic system better

[@Renehansen111]

@@domrun3547 Okay nice, i will do that instead of hiit training now, and then still of cause run the long runs to train anarobic, ty sir

NICK SYMMONDS 🐐

[@robertmarchetti5022]

Why is it that seventy-five % of these workouts that people post never talk about how much recovery time between each repetition, and what they do during the recoveries?

#same.

I need some run gum lol good video a bit old I’m guessing Nick put on a bit of runners weight but he’s still the Bull!!!

You are lean!What do you weigh now?

[@kyleg4453]

“But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless? As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.” So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the Lord had put them into a deep sleep. Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them. He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren’t you going to answer me, Abner?” Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?”” - ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭26:9-14‬‬
