Probably one of the slowest fast guys I have ever seen. I don't know how he manages to run a 52 with that ugly form.

Hobbits have to be fast runners to escape from the dwarves and other bigger creatures.

I can tell you how - talent! 52s is around his untrained 400m speed (maybe slightly faster), with optimal training he got it down to like 47s.
How many runners need to train quite a bit just to get down to 54s? That's the difference in talent.
If he is only in 52s shape now, it means his training right now doesn't really help him get faster/to his potential, but with his current lifestyle (focused on managing a business, YouTube, etc.) I doubt he is trying to maximize his 400m time at this point.
Actually, it was a 51.94 ?
Handtimed...
Pretty sure he was using some "home use" FAT setup, but for all intents and purposes hand-timed.
Also, IDK if I'd chalk all that up to talent... surely from a decade of professional running his musculature was best adapted to 800m running, that doesn't go away. He's talent personified, but those years of running had some impact as well.

BFD! He acts like he's so old and it's such a great accomplishment. There are guys out there still getting it done at his age and older. I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that Sir Mo could run an all out 400 in sub 52 and he's older than Symmonds and has probably never run a 400 in his life.
Still waiting for you to give away the ad revenue as promised NickyBoy. To get subscribers, you told people to like and subscribe and they would be eligible to get the cash. They liked and subscribed and you aren't giving away the cash. Some might consider that to be criminal. Most would consider it highly unethical.
Say hi to Tianna for me.
Was he rolling through the start line all out?

No
47 or 51 is kind of slow. Where does his 800 speed com from?
You cannot believe anything he says or posts, he's a modern day P. T. Barnum. He never gives us an uncut shot of him running. The videos are always highly edited, (he'd say they are stylized) but whatever you call it, there is NEVER a continuous shot of him actually doing what it is that he says he's done. With a drone in the air, I don't know why it's so hard to post the entire 400 without cuts or slow motion. No one wants to see his fatty-waddle in slo-mo.
You are full blown obsessed with Nick. You comment on every video, every thread about him. You need to get some help.

... or, I post on a lot of topics, I just pull this name out when it's about Nick; but you would need an IQ above 60 to figure that out for yourself. It appears you are obsessed with me since you seem to be keeping track of what and when I post.

^^ Just messing around and out of shape, but still cranks a non-race solo 51. Dude is a baller.
He's the boss.
He should race Matt London with a Pantera and Huey Lewis based soundtrack... could break YouTube.
The edited video looks better than a straight up 400m video.
He's a 1:42 / 3:34 guy. His 400m is not going to be ultra fast.
He did train for an 11.5 100m last season, so that seems a little slow for him.

Fixed it for you
I'd be really curious to see what Nick could do for 800 right now, no training.

Age 52 400m world record is about 50 seconds. How old is Nick 35-36? let him train for the masters 800 WR 1:48 !
