STILL GOT IT!!!! :D

You wanna know something crazy. When I was 15 my best friend killed him self and I got really depressed and within 3 months I went from a physical fit 180 to out of shape and over weight 270. It wasn’t until by random chance I was at the gym my sister worked at waiting for her to get off I was bored and saw a running magazine that looked interesting. The magazine was doing a special on Nick Symmonds and it went into detail on his workout routine and training habits etc… What interested me most about the magazine was how he had a 1 month workout schedule that he made super easy to follow along. The great thing about the program was that he focused on a a lot of pool exercises so being over weight it was much easier for my body to get used to that. After following that for a month I noticed a great change in my body and become fully committed to the fitness lifestyle. Within 3 months I was back down to 190 and in the best shape of my life. Now I am 21 still into fitness and I have to say thank you Nick, you unintentionally helped me change my life around when I was in my lowest point in my life. Recently I just watched your “running a mile every hour for 24 hours” and it wasn’t until after the video that it clicked in my head that you were the dude on the magazine I read 6 years ago! Thanks for everything you do you’re a great inspiration. I’m glad I was able to express how great full I am for what you did to my life I hope you get the chance to read this.

“I call it, ‘double the run, double the fun!’” I could never

I always wondered if olympians held bad blood over competition, good to know that these two, at least, are still good friends

Of course he’s the marketing team. This is a very entertaining and fun advertisement. Totally support it!!

That throat slit on the 200 was brutal

Andrew wheating working at ON explains how Oregon colors sneak into On’s lineup. Thanks both for the video

Nick has reached a point where most of us don’t follow him only for how an amazing athlete he is, but is still nice to see that he’s still got it! Greetings from Spain Nick! Thanks for keeping us motivated towards this amazing sport!

I love Andrew Wheating! It’s cool to see another really tall distance guy, you did him dirty by not putting his 1500 PR in there it’s crazy fast

I only run when forced but really enjoy your channel. And as a 39-year-old man who is still a fairly formidable powerlifter, but feeling the aches a little bit while pushing towards some pretty aggressive goals for my 40th, it's good to see that even ex Olympians are human beings when not 21 and in peak shape

I honestly thought Nick would let him win that mile and the subsequent 2-mile just so it could be a best-of-seven. I underestimated his desire to NOT run 2-plus miles 🤣.

The fact the you two were neck and neck until the very end is everything.. great job Nick!

That eye contact, neck slicing and kick with 50m to go in that 200m was sick. Super fun to watch. Great content!

That brings back so many memories. I grew up in Eugene, in a time when the only summer programs for preteens were at South Eugene and the nearby YMCA. I raced on the South track for two years in high school, being soundly beaten by the McChesney's, of course. Keep up the great videos, Nick.

Andy looks so smooth out there. Like he's not even trying!

Don't worry Nick, I'm old enough to remember the '08 Olympic Trials race. Probably one of the all time great Hayward Field moments. That crowd was on FIRE!!!

This is great content. 37 year old former track athlete here in Hong Kong... running every week and hoping I still got it too!!

Nick definitely jogged the 400 just to make the video longer

You guys are amazing, the competitiveness is very motivating! Retired Olympians doesn't mean the hunger to compete is completely gone.

Nick Symmonds: the best event in track and field is the 800m Spectators: have you never seen the women's pole vault?

I run in the On Clouds as well, I'm not fast but they're still great for me. Enough ankle support and some cushion while still being able to "feel" the ground. Rocks do get directly in between the outer soles halves sometimes but not as bad as the original Nike Freerun.

something about seeing you with your old olympian buddy is just so wholesome, i loved this

Crazy how Andrew is 8in taller, and ONLY 5 POUNDS HEAVIER! Andrew is a beast, but Nick is on a whole other level, plus Nick is 4 years older!

I actually enjoyed this. Once a athlete always an athlete

Nick, love your attitude and your spirit. I've been cheering for you since the early 2000's. Keep up the great work!

I am more and more in love with Nick's attitude and way of living ! You are an inspiration ! Please never lose this energy ! 😅

Its so weird watching guys that at one point were olympians capable of running 1:44 or faster and now are just goofing around

Great battle, Greetings from germany!

havent watched but an already tell this will be a legendary video

Love these 1v1 video's! Would be amazing to see you go against another old team mate like Asthon Eaton or Jeremy Wariner.

What an insane video idea!!!

Such a fun video! Cool looking shoes!

1:52 sounded like he was rapping 😂😂

Ons are crazy comfortable and have great design, but I’d do some crazy things for ANY shoe company to develop a PROPER sprint trainer (ie 60m-400m) that keeps traction and facilitates a dorsiflexed strike without having to spike up. 🙈 If On makes one, I’m preordering today. 😂

How do you guys make a blistering pace look so easy and relaxed? Amazing! We’ll done!

Thank you for all of your running performances Andrew. Good to see you again.

Ugh! I remember doing that back in my running days as an interval workout. 400-800-1200-1600-1200-800-400-200-200-200-200. That multiple string of 200s would be with very little rest (maybe 20 seconds). Great conditioning, but it was a b!tch doing it.

On's are great shoes. I'm a big fan of the Cloudflyer!

12:52 "COOL, drip factors are high right now, did I say that right?" XDDD he seems like such a dad

Loved that. The way you put yourself out there Nick is special

Former competitive runner here and that was a cool video. You guys still run much? If not what do you guys do to stay in shape? I turned to cycling fo4 a couple of years but like running, it was hard on my knees. I’ve been training jiu jitsu for the last 25 years. I have about 20 years on you guys and do a short run here and there-mainly hill sprints. I miss those long runs though.

The 200m race slit and win was hilarious!!😅😅

Andy! So cool to see him after many years, 2008 was surreal I remember wondering who is this kid who's a head taller than everybody else was. Sweet video

Awesome as always, love from Brazil!

They should do it again in another 10 years time to celebrate their 20th olympic anniversary. 💪💪

Let's go guys 💪👊👍 So motivating and fun 😁😎

I love to see someone who matches Nick’s energy

Awesome flashback...you should do more races like this!

I highly doubt it'd actually happen but it would be cool to see this video idea with David Rudisha

nick the content is getting better & better bro :)

Wow crazy! I just ordered On Cloudswift shoes right before this video dropped! 😂 I used to rock the Adidas, but hit 500+ miles and want to try something different. 💪

Wow! This just motivates me more to keep on running.

I love these videos , so much ads mixed in with it but its for products that actually help and are actually good

I love the 800

I love this because you dont give up, wins, you try your 100% best thats nice to see

Nick MUST try swimming

I'd have asked to start at 12.5 meters. But I guess that's why you guys are the Olympians!

Like watching 90yr old guys play basketball

Let's go the vid we've all been waiting for

I wonder if those two old folks out for their walk on the track know that it's two Olympians that just blew by them 😂😂😂

Fun vid- found the channel randomly a few weeks ago and it’s great - such positive stuff

Love your running videos guys Even for us older runners 55 year old plodder here from Australia Still hustling from 1k all the way up to ultra distance 👍🙂🏃‍♂️ Ive been in Brooks runners for years but those OC look awesome, might have to check them out never heard of them before

This is wholesome

We need more events like that.

This is a creative challenge. This is my first time seeing anything like this, it's pretty cool!

Andy seems like a nice guy and great sport

Somewhere I have a photo from about 1974 with me and Steve Prefontaine. Thinking it was at the LA Forum. Possibly the LA Sports Arena. It was not a posed shot. A very good friend of mine snapped it.

Hey Nick, I don’t know if you’ve ever covered this on your channel, but do you intentionally strike the ground with the outside of your foot when racing? I vaguely remember seeing you in a video on an another channel as an example of a runner doing this for speed.

The Bison versus the Giraffe just for the laughs! Great challenge! The Bison’s still got a knockout like Tyson!

Omg this video concept is really cool

Andrew ain’t no damn 190 lol. Mans is at least 220 lol

Nick teaching us how the 800 works feels like khan academy

I'll never forget the 2008 trials - Oregon sweep. That was better than a Paris Hilton appearance!

I was 18 in 2007 i remember watching you.

I wonder how much recovery time between races.

Andrew's a pretty good long distance runner!

Amazing ! Real athletes !

I love the fact you didn't thrown the mile to make the video more suspenseful or give Andrew a pity point. great content as always.

Just got my first box of run gum. Excited you try it for my first meet!!

Impressive and inspiring gentlemen!

Do more of these

Hey I’m starting cross country and needed some shoes and I was looking at on cloud shoes like the ones you used and they only come in a 7 or higher so I was wondering if your friend could make me some shoes in a size 4?

WoW!! Great!

Coolest video so far. Two legends going at it. This was really special.

You 2 did great! Good job guys

You guys killed it. I just moved to beaverton. I'll have to run that trail sometime soon, It looks nice!

I wonder what Steve Prefontaine would say about the "sit and kick" tactic...

At the 800m finish I heard "high knee kick" I'm think that was more of a memory then an in race reality. :) Go gett'em bison.

The best athlethes are those who still enjoy track and field even if after having alteady chased for a Gold ,a Silver or a Bronze : this childlike gentlemen! Thanks

Got some purdy kicks there.

This was a clever way to advertise

Clever idea. That was fun to watch. Insane Bolt instead of that other Bolt

Hard not to notice this is a 14 minute ad for shoes.

Imagine driving then looking right and seeing two Olympic athletes running together

My favorite event is the 800 as well

Impressive! That was great competition!

I love the clouds but I noticed after 3 miles my foot was killing me. Whats a good insert for extra comfort?

man this is the longest shoe commercial i've ever seen

quick tip for mile or longer running that is not on a track from an ex varsity cross country runner: use the double kick at the end. it is the most potent way to crush a persons soul and beat them out. Kick once, about half force of your full kick, when you are about at 300 to 400 meters out. just go for 100 meters or so, enough to put a gap between you and the person behind. Drop back into a normal pace after the 100 m, and let them waste their kick thinking they can catch up to you, the minute you can hear their footsteps closing in, release the true full power kick and dont look back. never look back. just sprint, sprint and imagine the finish 10 feet back from where it actually is. i was pretty tall and decently built in highschool, so i was always the anchor of our team, but god damn it if i wasnt the anchor with the best kick on the course then i dont know who was. Even when im exhausted to the point of vommiting, if i hear someone getting close, or see someone sub 100 meters infront of me before the finish, it is on like donkey kong. I'm a sprinter at heart, and even tho i chose xc over track, theres no way i would let my self finish any race like its not a 100m dash.

Nick really had to rub in that 1:42 time huh... I can't blame him tho that time is phenomenal
