Success breeds success in high school, once a school starts winning some meets it gets more kids to come out, it seems like the good teams are always good because it becomes a cool fun sport to do, while the bad teams stay bad because they just can’t get the numbers to come out. Have to start getting kids when they are young.

HONEST ENGINE I completely disagree. Your reply sounds ignorant, and here is why. 1.) You don’t need to look for problems for them to exist. I’m not looking for problems, sexism is real, it exists, I’ve experienced it on several occasions. I was only making a positive statement about Nick from what I’ve noticed throughout his videos. I’d like to reiterate I said “sometimes”. I never said it happens all the time. I can only presume you’re a male because if you are female you should understand. 2.) Racism is an ongoing issue, it’s not something you look for, it’s there. Racism is systematic too. Maybe research info on such issues to comprehend why what you said shouldn’t be said. Prejudice is a real thing and I can assure you I, and many other people don’t search for it. Also making this political is disgusting. The democrats and the republicans are POS. If those are the people you look up to I’m sorry for you. Please know that it’s okay to change your perspective. You don’t have to be close minded. :)

HONEST ENGINE Wrong. I’m an extremely positive and joyful person. You’re delusional for blindly following a leader just because he fits your leftist views.

You will see the world doesn’t revolve around you and just because you don’t experience something doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue. Also you replied to my comment, don’t tell me to go away.

Hey Nick, I'm past my competitive running years now, but as a half miler and miler in high school and college I remember watching you and being so inspired when you won the Pre Classic in 2007 with that killer kick. We would read running books (Running with the Buffaloes, Once a Runner) and watch that Pre movie with Jared Leto to gain inspiration. Its really cool to see you make these videos, interact with the next generation of American runners, and be able to directly inspire people in a way we never dreamed. I'm a big fan and love what your doing!

I grew up in Jerome Idaho. Bac’ 8n the 80s BK and Jerome were competing at the A2 division. I love what your doing to promote running and Fitness Nick. Keep it going!

My best 800m, actually measured as a half mile, (age 39, second year of running) was 2:28, outdoor asphalt/concrete, mostly straight. I had to step down over one curb to the street in the final block and almost face planted, barely caught my weight, but I had no idea my knees could be that weak near the end. I never ran a 800m on the track except as a second or third race, so didn't break 2:30. I had enough experience to say 800m is the toughest distance since I hate running that hard and having nothing left at the end.

they kicked my butt!!!

Kind of crazy to watch this. I only ran the 800 in comp once... 2:10... I could have almost won that one as a teenager back in the day. The funny thing is I was a 400m runner and had no idea how to run the 800m. I told my coach at the region meet that I wanted to try the 800m. He looked at me and said "But you don't have a qualifiying time....ah well you can probably run 2:25" He wrote 2:25 as my qualifying time..which put me in the "slow heat". The gun went off and having run open 400m and 400m X 4 relays all the time I went out like a bit of a rocket. I had now idea how fast or slow I was as I was trying to slow down to give myself a little energy. Turns out I built a 50m lead on the rest of the field. The crowd was going nuts... But I had gone out way fast. 58.5 first lap... took me over 1:12 for the second lap. I actually had the lead through 740 meters or slow. But over the last 60m two guys from the pack (One of them my teamate) chased me down and passed me for sub 2:10 times! I actually think the fastest guy from my slow heat qualified for the State meet of of his time. If I only had learned how to run a pair of 61s before that day I was capable of much faster. Just didn't know how to slow myself down. That was my Junior year... I never went back to train for the 800m again. I should've though. With the right training I would had potential to go sub 2:00. Good times. 400m and 800m are beasts but so FUN!

Had no clue you ran on a dirt track in high school! Do you think it helped prevent injuries and/or make you even faster when you would then race on a rubber track?

OMG!!! Looking at that those current records for your school I noticed your school record was 49.39 for the 400m. I would’ve beaten that record if I went to your school. My school didn’t keep our track records but I ran 49.34 my senior year at my class championships. I feel really validated as a former sprinter seeing that especially since I’m getting older.
