[@Spartacus11]

@@qh415 Not sure honestly. Yes, for elite runners it makes sense that WR timings would be faster on track since the top track athletes are more comfortable on the track being used to training there and having the highest quality spikes. And world comps and olympics for 5k and 10k distances are run on the track. Technically you should be able to run faster on the harder surface (asphalt) though and I believe this is the case for most amateur runners. But everyone is different.

Some of y’all haven’t watched his performance in the 08 olympics and it shows 💀

[@madshoex4166]

Great video Nick! It’s enjoyable watching your videos during our stay at home 🏠 order.

[@jaycarter6515]

Almost pissed myself when I realized you were heading downhill lol. Still crazy impressed though!

[@hunterbawlz]

Nick: “this is where I have to come clean. This course is significantly downhill.” People: “ItS dOwNhIlL fAkE”. Yes, thank you for stating what he implies

[@jonasconner1972]

Dude just ran a 3:55 What the the actual heck just happened

[@sorrym8421]

Remember, it was down hill.

[@patheddles4004]

Yeah, in VaporFlys with a serious downhill. Still a hell of a run though.

[@TimTim-dq2nf]

Jonas Conner nothing impressive going downhill ...

[@jeancater1388]

Oh, your heart rate. Wow! I hurt just watching.

[@nicksymmonds]

it was up there!!!

[@eduardosuarez2864]

like the fact that you describe your self as 2 time olympian,you were almost a world champion! haha and olympic finalist,you are a humble guy

[@GreatValueBleach]

Shoutout to the cameraman, running backwards while keeping pace and carrying the camera

[@IdiotMorons]

I love how I’m watching you run as I’m sitting on my couch eating chips

[@lukeboyle5342]

God blessed you with no cars while crossing the off ramp 😂. What a great run!

[@JuanRodriguez-tr6st]

Awesome quality content, keep going hard!

[@nicksymmonds]

Thank you Juan! I will!!

[@samuelgrice4543]

2:43 - 3:00 "Lift off!" I love your videos Nick!

[@chicanohek]

Awesome Nick! I’ve been following your running since Willamette !

[@jaxonzalepka460]

nobody: nick every video: these shoes make you run faster because there’s a carbon fiber plate that boosts you...

[@abnrangerjapo]

2:45. Hahahaha that was absolute gold!

[@TheDominiqueBallou]

He clearly runs faster than 4:39, shoes and downhill doesn't shave 40+ secs. Still a great time

[@vukhiempham7213]

even that was a downhill run but it is still impressive as hell and I was sweating watching this vid lol

[@miesic]

"i slowed down a little bit" Heck yeah you did, you are not runing down the hill anymore. Kudos to you still increadible time and effort!!

[@Ancient1341]

2:45 caught me off guard 😂😂

[@darcycleary4486]

Hey bro Do a fitness test Eg.army navy navy seal or something like that

[@tori03031989]

I'm surprised you sustained a heart rate of 200+ for so long 🤯 I was genuinely concerned for you 🤕

[@nicksymmonds]

me too!!!

[@roberttaylor9611]

Tori lol it’s because this video is fake as hell

[@sheesh_bro__]

@@roberttaylor9611 plz tell me why a 2 time Olympian would fake a running video?

[@roberttaylor9611]

@@sheesh_bro__ idk, why did lance Armstrong use performance enhancing drugs?

[@hansbraun2726]

That's soooo impressive!! I love it!

[@pablofonseca13411]

Pretty fun.. Lane college is right there.. memories.. thanks champ

[@DanielSong39]

Now that I saw the "course" I see how he went from holding a sub 2-hour marathon pace for 1km (4:35 mile pace) to a sub-4 minute mile Of course in his prime he could easily break 4 minutes

[@italieuh9983]

Bro I started shouting in my house... when u were so close to finishing the 100 meters and it was so close to 40 seconds.... vaporflys seem so comfortable

[@akshay5316]

PLOT TWIST: THERE WAS A CAMERAMAN RUNNING BACKWARDS AND HE WAS EVEN FASTER THAN HIM

[@mastersmike5144]

This is siickkk!! 🔥🔥 Might have to rip one DH in the ZVF4P! Thanks!!!

[@jeffreyxiong3000]

Finished in 3.54.9 while I'm around 30 seconds behind on my 2 out of 3 laps.
