the people that disliked this video want tips to run a slower mile.

It's amazing how an 800-m specialist Olympian could still manage a sub 4 min mile. Strength and endurance at its finest! Such talent.

Ran 4:26 last week and trying to get under 4:20 by the end of the season💪

How’d you know I needed this video 😂

Are you kidding me! This is exactly what I wanted and I didn’t even ask for. I’ve seen “How to run a faster mile” videos but they were meh. But then the NICK SYMMONDS makes one!🤯 Thank you!

Perfect timing on this video! I just started transitioning from 800m training and workouts to 1600m training and workouts for my 1600 at county qualifiers in a few weeks

My mile is 5:53 at the moment. I have been training for 2 months but I am super excited to improve my time even more.

I've been running for about 3 weeks. I'm quite unfit my best is 9:14. Lots of room to grow it seems. Very keen on getting to 8mins. Cold weather hits me and I'm crippled

First track race of the season today. I'm running the 4x8, 2 mile, and mile so this video is super helpful.

This is exactly what I needed because for this track season I've hit the same mile time 3 times in a row 5:13 and I've hit a plateau and can't get faster

This is godly, I’m running the mile today in a meet.

Today I am racing in the 1600m. No better time to post this Nick thank you! 😎

I agree that pacing is helpful I PRed yesterday with a 5:12 and my first 800 was 2 seconds slower than my second one and it helped

Wow... this is exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much!

Perfect timing for today’s race in Austin 😈

I’m 23 now. At 18 I was smoking and ran a mile around 13 minutes. This year I quit drinking and smoking and I started runners. I just ran a mile at 8 minutes and 35 seconds. I’m seeing progress and I’m tryna get better. I’m running tomorrow so I am setting the goal for 8 minutes and 20 seconds. But if I can do better I def will try.

Lol, I was searching for this video on your channel just two days ago and here it is!

Wassup Nick! I appreciate all your content :) keep it up

thank you very much for this video i am very fast and im ten and 5”4 so people expect a lot for me and our school mile is next week!

Maybe one week I’ll win a pair of shoes that I desperately need haha

Yessir Nick. Was dying in class 💪

I'm so excited for the 30 day program!!

Awesome nick you are flying !

Im gonna post a comment JUST for people to reply with boastful personal bests, not to ruin other comment threads😅

My highest is a 7:08 and I want to get under 7 minutes so this is very helpful.

Not me with a 13 minute mile and has to another one tomorrow and is scared out of my mind: 💀

My first meet is at 345 and I’m pretty nervous but this will probably help a lot, thanks a lot

Your videos inspire me everyday, keep it up 👍

nick you need to make an 800m program

yes the timing of this video is perfect!! i’ve got my first track meet of the season in the beginning of next month and i’ve been trying to break my pr of 5:36! thank you for this!!

I can’t wait to start

Hopefully I can run a better mile this year in Track 😅I've gone under 6 in an xc 5k MULTIPLE TIMES but not done it on a Track yet rip. Hope that this'll be the season :D

I get back from a mile and see he posted this

Dude running under a 4 min mile is insane!!!!! Props

Great video Nick!

My school has a blacktop track so spikes are out of the question but I’m sitting at a 5:23 right now trying to break 5 by the end of the season

Awesome video Nick! The new app is great!

Definitely think the mile should be a more common road racing distance, most people would probably have a lot more fun training for a mile than a marathon.

I have four events in my meet tomorrow 😬 including the mile! Hopefully I can put down a decent time😅🔥

gonna use this tomorrow, we have to run miles every monday at school

That hype video was really cool. Got me inspired

As a freshman my mile time was a 7:30 and my 800m time was 3 minutes now as as a Sophomore my mile time is 5:50 and my 800m is 2:34 still more improving to do I'm gonna keep going !

This channel is great

Yess this video came at a perfect time lol, we’re supposed to have our first track meet tomorrow and I wanted to run the mile :D

I ran 5.01 at my only indoor meet this year 😞

Nick your the best

It's insane how fast people are, I ran a mile last week in 5:12 and felt like dying ! And guys out there breaking even 4 minute mile

I just ran a 4:54 mile as a sophomore in highschool on friday

Awesome video, can you make a video on how to run a fast 5k?

At this point there is over 5 questions you get asked the most😂👍

Perfect timing! Doing one on Saturday Edit: 5:30.06

Trying to get Sub 6 freshman season, hope this works 🤞

What should be average weekly mileage during base period to run sub 4:30 mile

Another week, another chance at shoes!

I have a question Nick. What is the best breathing technique?

Hey please make a video on how to train for the 800m too

Wow I train at flamingo park track in Miami Beach. that’s sick!!

Everyone here: *talking about track, and running for fun* Me: *here just because of running the mile at school* 👁👄👁

I do middle distance, steeplechase and xc. Would cross country spikes or middle distance spikes be better?

I LOVED THE VIDEO!! I run the 1600m and I wanna run faster

idk what went wrong on my second time running a mile. First time I ran it in 5:50 but the second time I ran it my head and heart started hurting in the second to last mile and my head felt like it was gonna explode by the time I finished and I ended up taking 8 minutes.

Is there a workout for 800m? And a milage workout plan?

i ran a 6:53 like 10 months ago in vans😂😂. i haven't tried since but i bulked up 20 lbs.

Last year it was my first time running ever in xc and track my mile time is 5:30 and a 18:35

What was ur like training for a week when u competed in the Olympics?

Bro I have been running in cowboy boots and let me tell ya it is hard i might still be in school in 8th grade but i finally got me a pair a tennis lol

got a meet against my own teamates on april 8th, tryna run a 4:33 1600m season opener

hey nick you need to do something for your international followers also so that we can also get a chance to win a good pair of shoes.

My current 1 mile time 8 minutes, yeh horrible. But i am Working on it. After 2 months i will update my time. Aim to reach under 6 minutes!!!

I don’t even run the mile, still watching tho xD

Please advise and improve speed staimina

my pr is 5:48 and i’m trying to get 5:35 today to run with varsity - i’ll come back and let you know how i do (i’m a freshman in high school)

I got to basic training in two weeks and the starting time for the mile is 8:30, how would u suggest I start off

I'm 17. My current pr is 5:07. Hoping to break 5 tomorrow!

Wow, Nick's PR makes my 4:12 look like jogging. JUST KIDDING. I hate it when ppl do subtle flexes like that while pretending to be saying good stuff about another person. Is my pr 4:12? I can only wish...

Hey..guys iam a big burly man powerlifting type love trainning with heavy weights..but I need to run a 15 mile I know that's slow for you runners..but not me..plz help..its for a job

How do I enter the shoe giveaways? I’m in desperate need of a new pair

Hey Nick not sure if you get this question often if at all but are you a Christian or do you follow a different religion/worldview and if so how has that impacted your why for running? Great video btw😜

He’s right

this video length is my mile pr lol

i need a 6:45 for soccer and oh my gosh its so hard for me to break 7:30 considering my asthma.

i watched it and ran a mile 3 minutes after and my time went from a 6:02 to a 5:59 and i’m in seventh grade 12 years old

Anyone have any tips for me? My best mile is 7:58 and I need to get down to 6:45 to make my cross country team. Is it possible and how could I get to my goal?

I have a question but I don’t got instagram ; How and when should I train to run a sub 6 min mile; does running long distance help or intervals? If anybody else has any tips comment them please!

Maybe one week I’ll win a pair of shoes I actually need them because mine are ripped

My boss just challenged me to a mile race so I looked for this video. I'm trying to get the Altra Escalante Racer, so if you're still giving away shoes 😉

🔥

I’m in 8th grade and got a 5:10 for my first meet and I’m trying to get under 5

Did you make a video on how to run a faster 800?

Hey Nick! Ik you probably wont be able to see this comment, as it is like a year after you have uploaded this video. But this is my first track season, my freshman year of high school, and my second race is coming up this week and im kind of nervous about it. On my last track meet I was able to run a 6:36 and am hoping to be able to improve over time as the season prgresses. I also wanted to thank you, as this video helped me a lot!

Back to the you can’t run a mile in a good time if you run one mile a day all out I have a funny story about my coach. He didn’t even run in high school he actually played baseball and won a college World Series. He ran a mile for like 30 straight days and ran like 4:40. Dudes an incredible athlete but again not recommended like you said💀

First XC season went from (2 mile) 12:30’s to 9:30s… just finished my track season and I did 9’s for the 2 mile… spent the whole season trying to get under 8 for the mile and I did 8:07 twice 🫠 so hard but I’m still trying

How to run a faster mile: race it backwards! 🤣

I have a track meet tomorrow but I have shin splits and I can’t go 😢

Easiest way is to run faster the straights and don't forget to turn left.

How can I run a faster 1500 meters race

Trying to hit a 5 flat

Cool! I also make running videos!

100m is better than a mile... They are both so much fun though
