Haha, LetsRun turds demanding 10 x 400 60 sec jog for a mile predictor.
Is he still training for the 100?
Is that a typo? Shouldn't it be 1:49.23, right? This is THE Nick Symmonds, right?

1:49 sounds more like it. I ran 1:59 as a JR in HS with a cold that day.
Cool Story. How many times did you represent your country? I bet your pb must be around 1.41 now too hu.

He is retired and doesn't train like before. How do you not know this?

LMAO, what a load of poopoo!
Why the edits at every split? If he really ran it, why not the continuous overhead shot? No need for cinematic effect when you are trying to show that you really ran sub 2. The clock we can clearly see keeps going, but we have no idea how many seconds got trimmed during the cuts.
Three unnecessary cuts before the 200 split... WHY? We want to see ACTUAL SPLITS? Same thing before the 400 split... Completely unnecessary edits. Same edit at 600 for no apparent reason and same edits at the finish.
Makes it real easy to trim when you add mysterious edits, always right before the line. It makes it easy to "sync" the clock that way.
Total horse manure. Nice Try.
Do it without the edits and I may bite.

I think it's legit, he's just too lazy to go through all that trouble to fake it, not to mention his coach doesn't want the credibility hit.
This is a fantastic experiment, and really shows just how freaking hard it is to run 2min 800, let alone low 140s that he once did. Give him credit for putting it out there and not being embarrassed by being so far off his pb.
I'm especially shocked how such a stumpy bow legged guy can run so fast!

You were 16 or 17 at the time. You couldn't run that at Nick's advanced age, I'll bet. Funny how this slowing down "thing" happens to the human body with advancing years, isn't it?

You do know fan boy, Nick Symmonds is younger than Nick Willis. What do you get for being in Nick Symmonds' fan club?
I enjoyed your time trial, Nick. Way to go -- I believe you all the way! LetsHate haters gonna have a field (or a track & field) day with your video, in a naysaying way, and that's the way of the world...the sneering, snotty, snarky world. But you did it, and you know it, and I believe it, and thanks for the video. Keep on keepin' on, at your own speed, marching to beat of your own drummer.
Fake as f.
Show me the whole video and not cut out anything.

LMFAO that you think he can't still run 2:00. That's not that hard of a bar to meet for someone who once ran 1:43. Its legit and it shows he's still in decent shape.
Video was awesome, but not sure he ran 1:59.9.. I got 2:00.02 :)

The weird thing is that I was a 2:11 guy at 17 and ran 2:01 at 33.
Sometimes the body gets faster too but not as much as we wished.
Symmonds was already caught cheating with weird camera angles to claim 11.5 in his 100m quest, and the official video proved he ran 12 flat.
All this cheating now just to run slow, makes me wonder what he was doing when he was fast?
At the very least, this is the guy who stops his watch early in workouts, no doubt about it. Like the coach said, he's only hurting himself.

Is there a source for the thread/video discussing him cheating with angles for 11.5?
FAT timing at an actual meet or it didn’t happen!
I am very confused . I can still run under 2:00 and I am 10 years Nicks senior and 13 years retired. And I was a longer distance specialist, not an 800m man.
