I have owned a pair of stilts like these for a few years, I knew immediately this was going to end bad for Nick. It takes weeks of practice to run well without falling.

These are my favorite kind of videos! So inspirational how you make running so much fun, gets me motivated every day, thank you for everything you do

Those aren't designed to run efficiently like the ones Pistorius had. Probably it would better trying the kangaroo technique.

Those falls looked mega painful! You definitely earned my like 👏

About 35+ years and more than 100lbs. ago, I too ran the mile, in high school. I always used to think "there must be some way to put a springy, flexible blade in between the layers that made up the sole of your shoes. The idea being to give more push-off with each stride and make you faster, as well as to give you more endurance, as the shoes would be doing a lot of the work. It seems like I have heard of someone trying to do this, not long ago, but maybe I am wrong.

You’re an inspiration!!! 👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I just want to break four. Maybe I should try those!!! 😂

I'm familiar with Nick's running career and he was a world class half miler/miler. He won several US National championships and had an awesome final kick to the finish line. I believe he made a US Olympic team in the 800 meters. He's the real deal! I never had an opportunity to meet him. This video shows a side of him I never knew as I only saw him of TV in big races. It's the fact that he has such a great sense of humor that I appreciate! And he doesn't mind making a few pratfalls in public for the whole world to see. Thanks for the great video! PS, I DNFd twice when I pulled hamstring muscles!

This has to be one of your funniest videos yet😭 It was when you started running again after the first fall and the timing of the second fall for me

This is a claim your here before nick hits 200 k pass

"I'm stronger too!!" Legit LOLed at that

let’s play a game. every time nick says “in the back of my mind,” take a shot

You are really amazing at being deadpan when you say that with your 3:56, you didn't quite get your goal of being The King of The Mile or that 90+ first lap wasn't at pace. Usually people (besides really good actors) would sound ironic or sarcastic if they would make 3:56 seem even remotely close to 3:43. Have you thought about acting? I laughed a lot during this video so thanks for doing this, man! I respect that willingness to come up with funny ideas a lot!

I haven’t laughed that hard in quite sometime. Those face plant edits... hilarious. Hope for a quick recovery Nick!

Please be smart when considering Nick's "never dnf" mentality. There is bravery and persistence in that mentality for sure.. But sometimes intelligence is far more important than determination. Don't risk the rest of your running career for the sake of maintaining an arbitrary goal like this. Sometimes the best decision is to just stop. Protect your body. Live to runanother day. I guess the moral of the story is, find the difference between "pain" and "injury". You can run through pain.. But you should never run through injury. It's just not smart.

@@williamdowling7718 In some cases yes, it comes down to a matter or pride, although logically it dosent make sense, as an athlete the drive to push ones self beyond their limits can have serious repercussions but in the moment can change everything. For example I was cheated out of the 100m, and 4x2 so i trained incredibly hard everyday without any breaks. I went from running 13.32, to 11.8 within the span of a week. After that I came in 2nd place in the mens conference for 100m. However I tore my hip flexor, later I would go on to run 11.57, then 10.9 but never again, what I gained was the speed I needed fulled by anger, but I was never able to run that fast again. My pride gave me a semi-permanent injury, but looking back on it I dont think I regret it, however I wish I wouldn't have gotten so angry, because maybe I would have then trained smarter

Thank you for this. I am a varsity athlete and I have DNFed one race. I was in middle school with under .25 miles to go in XC. I pulled a muscle in my side and every step I took was jabbing pain. I was out for the next week and a half but it could of been so much more if I would’ve powered though to the finish line. Never risk your body. There will be more races.
