Over a decade of hard work allowed me to shave 15 seconds off my personal best in the 800 meters. Shaving time is all about CONSISTENCY and not about immediate gratification. Aim to get just a little bit better each and every year!

I ran 154.5 in the 800 as a freshman in college and finished second. I stayed within 5 yards of the leader thinking I would out kick him in the last 100 yards. He ended up running under 153 as I faded at the end. I later found out the guy who beat me was John Crist who was a 3 time national champion in the decathlon and took 6 th place in the 1984 olympics.

Hi Nick, I've been listening to the rungum podcasts the past few weeks now, they're great! Just stumbled upon this channel of yours, good job responding to the comments, definitely a good way to connect with your fans and keep the channel more active. Just a note of you are to do another video like this. Your way of graphing this is nice for the viewers since they can see the numbers easily translated but the time should be in seconds only. For example, 1:57 translates to 117 seconds, where you have it just written as 157, which is 2:37. This messes up your performance improvement percentage. For example, your progression from 1:57 to 1:55: Performance Improvement Percentage = (((new time - old time) / old time) * 100) Using your numbers you would get: (((155 - 157) / 157) * 100) = 1.27% Using seconds: (((115 - 117) / 117) * 100) = 1.71% It looks like a small difference but I'm sure as you know at elite levels of racing every % of improvement is a big deal. Anyways, keep up the great work. It was interesting to listen to you talk about your progression throughout your career.

7 of the 8 finalists in the 2012 olympics never ran faster times again. That's insane!

Right at the end of grade 12 I caught Pneumonia and struggled to get through the last half of my school season of Track. Went from running around 51 second 400m to losing just over a second every time I ran... I feel your story to my heart when you tell it, and I appreciate your encouraging words, I'm 39 now and looking at getting back into doing 400 / 800 for the fun of it. Every time I see your videos it just fills me with more drive to better myself. I appreciate all your videos, and I thank you sir!

yes! hoping to do more in depth videos for my Workout Wednesdays. Darn near impossible for me to do the workout and film at the same time so Run Gum is hiring a videographer to help make them better. Stay tuned!

Hello My 8 and 9 year old son Christopher and Joshua have been following many of your work outs. They both qualified for this years junior Olympics at North Carolina for the 800m.. if you could spare an auto graph picture it would make all the world to them .. thanks Andy

Nick could you go over some good quality summer training for an 800m runner? As outdoor is coming to an end I want to make sure I develop and continue to drop time going into indoor and next years outdoor. Please lmk what you would do!!
