A vid of him diving into the pool titled "Cross Training". A vid of him doing a falling acceleration barefoot that looks like he is moving at maybe 16 second 100m speed.
He's getting soft because he has puzzzay on tap 24/7. Women weaken legs.
More like his paying for his ladies.
if he does not have a qualifier for us nats when/where does he plan on getting one? time is running out

If you watched(or payed attention) to the live feed he mentions what this time trial will mean going into his first race, which I'm pretty sure he said would be the Portland twilight meet.
He needs a 1:47.5 or better before June 18 or no nationals.

General Phys Ed class does time trials every two weeks, alternating between mile and 600. What kind of potential does that time possibly indicate? Distance was carefully marked with a wheel, been in use many years.
Then what has been his mile times the other weeks? Two data points better than one.
Highjack? Nah, we're talking about 600s.
We only run 2 600s and 2 mile time trials during the Fall term. In 7th grade he ran 5:58, 2:14, 5:45, 2:05. 8th grade 5:24, 1:45, 5:18, 1:34.

Didn't Symmonds go from "done" according to experts to winning USAs a couple of years ago?
Many seem to be forgetting that he's probably the fastest 1500 runner of the 800 guys. Strength counts.
Considering Murphy ran 3:51 today I'd say that Symmonds is at best the second fastest 1500 / mile guy when it comes to our top 800 runners. And Murphy's improvement has been strong and steady for the past three years.
On the other hand, I have zero doubt Symmonds is going to get a qualifying time, and I will not be surprised if he makes the finals at nats. But I would be surprised if he makes the WC team. Murphy, Brazier, Berian and the rest of the usual suspects along with some new ones are likely too young, too fast, too strong for Symmonds to even make the top 5 or 6 should he make the finals.
No way. He wont even break 1:50
An all-out 600 TT isn't the pace you can run an all out 800. Multiply it by 1.35 to 1.38.
an 80.6 is worth 1:48.8 to 1:51.2.

Tell us your PB and Olympic finals experience.
Whenever I meet an athlete who performed great in the past I still consider that person a great athlete because they were a great athlete. Athletes are like flowers that bloom for a day or two and then wither. No one can ever take away great performances from great athletes. Symmonds was part of the greatest 800m final in Olympic history and ran 1:42.95 in that race. The HD videos of that great event will be around a long time and I'm sure Symmonds will take great satisfaction when watching it many years from now even though he doesn't seem to feel that way now. He did well. Guys like "Wild Dominion" are jealous nobodies.

Incorrect. He is already qualified.
Nick Symmonds Has not qualified for nations. But, this reporting hopes he will.

Yep, I was wrong. Thx.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
