Shout out to Lorenzo for the great race! I know a lot of you prefer longer races SO next up is an all out 3200 meter race vs subscribers!! That is nearly 2 miles, what do you think the winning time will be? That video drops later this week :D

@@roji556 We like to SAY that, but it's not true at all that all athletes are competitive. I think once you hit the elite or pro ranks it's more true, but I was listening to a pod today about a guy who wrote a book about 5-star quarterback recruits for college football. He contacted 54 of them and found that - like a lot of other positions - a lot of these guys just sort of cruised on talent, and once they were identified as talented everything was presented TO them, rather than them having to seek things out. And it effected their development. That competitive drive to be the best just never materialized. That's not to say that it couldn't have been nurtured, but he also pointed out that there are almost no sports psychologists being made available to these kids to help them process things. I guess it kind of depends on what you're looking for as far as being competitive goes. Pretty much any player can be competitive for 3 hours on game day. Of course, how many of them kind of call it a day if things get out of hand? Or simply because they're bat-shit crazy like Antonio Brown? I guess what I look for regarding a competitive nature is somewhere more than a guy who will play every down, and less than Michael Jordan. Of course, you could "just" be a runner. You don't exactly need to learn a playbook or take others on your back in an individual sport like that. 🤣 Take care.

Hey Nick! I'm a huge fan and I just came off a multi-month long groin injury. I'm 13 and I run the 800 and am trying to get back into training. Do you have any warm up sessions that you recommend for an 800-1600 distance runner? I would really appreciate it.

@hansbraun2726

2 жыл бұрын

I ran the 800 and I would say stretch thoroughly before every activity and always warm up with sideways motion drills. Also, you may have seen Nick warm up at a horizontal bar or wall where he swings his legs, one at a time side to side in front of him. That would be a good start to avoid future groin injury. Once you get into higher competition, you will need to prioritize track and not risk injury by doing other risky activities. But at your current age always remember to have fun✌️

Keep inspiring us nick! ❤️ Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤️❤️

I love when the hype part of the intro can be processed as, "The NFL player is old and has to carry around a lot of muscle." And "a mean 100" has to be taken with a grain of salt when put in the context of a middle-distance runner. Just insert the usual "for a" in there. Definitely faster than I can do right now, but I'm also 51 and more distance than sprints. Last year a 55-year-old man ran a 13.37 at the Iowa Senior Games, so ... just a little perspective.

Hey quick question, what drone does your filmer use in your videos?

I applaud all of you that run competitively, to stay in shape, or just for the joy of it. I used to run when I was very young, but because of Charcot Marie Tooth Disease I haven't been able to run since- I'm 50 now. I'm not looking for sympathy, attention, or anything else. I just wanted to tell those that can run that don't for any reason other than medical; get up, get out there and get running. Do it before you lose the ability.

I run, but don't train for 100m. I was able to hit about 12 flat. But I wonder are there any open 100m events? How do you get into the sport after college? I'd love to do some open 100m events. 🙏

Nick, what do you think your 100 would be at your peak?

I'm an amateur soccer player. I always considered myself fast, but getting old i started to find more and more guys faster than me, so i started training for sprinting and it paid of. I can run 100m under 14s anytime and sometimes i get a 13s really low. It is fine for an amateur soccer player, but never tought it was good for an amateur sprinter.
