I didn't know Matt London was a real person or who had need with posters. Regardless of his history here, he can post what he wants in the thread, it's even on topic.

Matt London or whatever his name is actually very entertaining like in a movie the Room sort of way. His Prs in 10 meters and Random length hill sprint world records are my favorite.

People ask why he's giving away free money but the truth is that he and other youtubers can give money and gifts and they can get a tax write off as a business expense, so they get the money they spent back. He should max out the tax benefits and give away as much as he possibly can. Do a 100k race Nick. Actually you know what Nick, I'll race you for 100k. It has to be a race of at least 2k though. I know you read this forum.

You can't possibly be stupid enough to think that is how business expenses work.

I would say you took the words right out of my mouth, but we've all seen his other posts.

People don't understand money or math. Yes, most people believe that donating $1000 somehow gets them $1000 from the Government. The same people have $5000 extra withheld every year so that they can get it back.

What can I say? Not good compared to his 11.4 hundred two summers ago. But Nick has a DAMN good six pack, props to the editor leaving those clips in when he pulls up his shirt to wipe his brow

The abs looked edited in, not real, coz they were unnaturally jumping around.

VFX artist here. They're real.

Can confirm, I was the abs

Alright, I'll say it: Nick Symmonds needs to lose some weight.

Just saying what everyone's thinking 🤷

What's weight got to do with it?

I don't care how much weight you gain, if your all-out 200 is less than 1 second faster than your 800 PR pace (less than 10 years ago) then either A you are seriously out of shape, or B your 800 PR is suspicious AF

The dude is almost 10 years older than when he set his pb and hasn't done any training (beside silly races with kids) for a long long time. I would think that would slow you down quite a bit, even if you were an elite 800m runner. I know middle aged women that train harder than Nick Symmonds does (not counting his lifting)

So you are basically saying it's A he is seriously out of shape.

But all his post-career schtick has centered around doing fitness, stay in shape stuff. Has he failed?

He's out of shape because he's overweight, idiot.

Just cause his youtube channel is associated with fitness does not mean he will be anywhere near competitive running shape. He wants views, not fast times. Look at any other pro runner on youtube; the meager view s and subscribers they get in comparison to Nick's channel is astonishing. And the difference in content and training is just as noticeable.

Didn't he do that quest for sub-12 FAT not so long ago? And made it IIRC.

Yes, its true, if you give away 1000$ uncle am gives you back 2000! Kramer explained it well in Seinfeld.

How do you define seriously out of shape dude? He doesnt train, at all, for international 800 M anymore, is old, and has put on a ton of muscle and still runs 25 ish? If he cant run 1:42 10 more years from now is he suspect? BTW, lifting has a great benefit on health. I heard Seb Coe is running much slower than his peak too.

Comically fake. Nobody actually thought that was real right? It was meant to be funny.

He's still quick. He clearly ran sub-12 in a 100m to close one of his races and win. Super talent.

I washed my dishes last night. Equally interesting.
