He's actually very calculating and well aware of what he can and cannot do at any given time. He clearly determined he was not going to be able to break 11 or hit 500 and sub-5.

His life is better than yours in every conceivable way... but hey at least you've got your "dignity"....

No one thought you would lie. Your sentence would work just as well without this preface.
His old content and his videos discussing race psychology and training were really useful for me, but I agree I can't be bothered watching average people off the street attempt basic athletic movements. Anybody with 2 years in the gym and right social media skillet could run this channel.

You need charisma to be a successful YouTuber which would exclude you and 99% of the LR posters...
He’s doing pretty well having over half million subscribers. If he can somehow get to over 1 million, there’s a chance that his channel will really take off and can make serious money from YouTube.
Money make$ the world go round, and Nick seems to have fallen victim to that ugly, commonplace American (and elsewhere) focus upon accumulating wealth. Maybe he wants to become another megarich ex-runner, who has become a donor, like Phil Knight, and sees the possibility of Hayward Field being renamed "Symmonds Field" one day...if the money is first accrued, then donated.
Nick presumably decided that if he made $50,000, but he could have made $50,001, then a negative must be turned into a positive. Hey, Nick, it is OK to make money, even healthy and impressive, but there are better ways to go about it than through hyperfocusing upon the almighty $. I hope you come to realize this, for our benefit and also your own.
What about 'the runner' YouTube channel? Seems mostli exaggeration to get views.
Yes. CiCi Runner is the OG of YouTube. He has stayed true to himself over the years, and works a real job while crushing his fitness goals. I havn’t really seen anyone else hit that balance.

I use to enjoy these videos when they were running related... even tolerated some of him weightlifting and cycling.
But now it's crap like " give u $ for every second you hold your breath". Like WTF?
One today was hitting a piñata... I kid u not.
And what happen to him trying to deadlift 500lbs and proceed to run a sub 5 mile. He hyped that up so much in january and no updates given. He's got a week to make good on it.
I've been in one of his videos and it's kind of brutal how much of his personality is for the cameras. I totally respect growing the channel and getting the bag but man was it weird how fake everything felt
Yeah... Seems like he is trying to emulate Mr. Beast's Channel but more fitness orientated. It's fine, does seem a little disappointing that one of the best US 800 is selling himself out to get more "subs", and while I like his track series stuff, the stupid hang on a bar in the park are pretty lame.
Dude's obviously left humanity behind.
I think GS admitted they do not sponsor any natural athletes.
But those things are what people want to see. He is actually a few of pro runners with personality.
Just looked up his IG. He is doing something right. His wife is thumbs up.
He needs to collaborate with Korina Copf or Lana Rhoades.
Met the guy a couple times in a work related role. Biggest douche of all time.

Im saying that i would be lying if i joined the chorus of people saying that what hes doing is perfectly fine by me, which would be pretty easy to do since thats the "right" opinion to have.
Yeah that's why I said "with the right social media skill set". Clearly you can't even read.

No you said "right social media skillet". Clearly you're an idiot.
Anyone with 2 years in the gym and the right "skillet" could be an NFL quarterback.
Anyone with 2 years in the gym and the right "skillet" could be an olympian...
He's just having fun. Pull the stick out of your man hole.
