I started running track when I was a sophomore in high school (16yo). At that age I never thought I would one day become an Olympian! Fortunately, there were a few people at Bishop Kelly HS who believed in me. That's why I love to give back to the school whenever I'm home in Boise, Idaho. In this video I got a chance to race 800 meters against some of their fastest boys and girls!!
I LOVE GIVING PEOPLE SHOES!! That's why I give away a brand new pair of running shoes to one lucky follower every Tuesday. If you want a chance to win simply follow me on Instagram here: / nicksymmonds

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.

@aresmars2003 4 года назад

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.

I love that Nick isn’t sexist. Sometimes you see that towards women in sports, not with Nick! #Goat 🐐

@kenzieb4907 4 года назад

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. :)

@kenzieb4907 4 года назад

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. I can see we as a society need to make progressive changes. That makes me open minded. Try expanding your surroundings and educate yourself. 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.

@benjaminroe311ify 2 года назад

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!

Nick I love your channel! It is super inspiring and entertaining! Keep it up!! ❤️❤️

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.

I don't want to bragg--but was shocked at times. We did 880's(1/2 mile in" 1960's"). My best time 1:56.8??? not quite a 100% either, Jim Ryun I guess was whom I was chasing_a Major Runner__Breathing and relaxation(with shortening/lengthening of stride at right time) very Lose wrists always letting arms go straight out so you can use them to Pull you also(when needed). Looking slightly down and syncronize with leading runner(always let someone else lead in fast race) your channeling his/her butt/legs and get in the Flo/groove--always thinking Relax and stride/relax and stride--EASY Breath, Easy Breath. You need these things in your arsenal and the person whom can PUT all this in a Meditation state--will put in an Excellent race. There are many things for strength and endurance--BEST BEET JUICE---many new ways to extra oxygen--you need N/O--a has been now I am; but not Too has been ENJOY that there Breeze in your face and that there RUSH when you finish..

I mean he is a trained Olympian running against high school students so what did u expect

@Amtcboy 3 года назад

@@aidankerrigan5640 I expect they be better trained NOW, with all science and gears available today. I’ve seen other kids younger these running the 5k cross country, saw the likes of Kaitlin Touhy and her contemporaries, striking mid foot and not heel strike. So YES, I expect more from these kids, who are in the running team.

@aidankerrigan5640 3 года назад

@@Amtcboy they’re in high school and not expected to be at any level. They might be running for reasons other than being super competitive, like I am for my track team. I’m running track so I can be more fit for soccer and no one expects me to be better than an Olympian. They’re doing their best and that’s all that u should ask for. It doesn’t matter if they’re worse than younger kids. That’s all I’m saying.

During my 8th grade year, I was put in to throw shotput, run the 4x800, run the 800, and then run the throwers 4x100 (unique event I haven’t seen done since) it’s fair to say I was dead by the end of the day I can’t remember what I threw, but I ran a 2:18 800 split, and then a 2:32 800, and I think I ran about a 0:13 100 split
