@@Darkstar001 yep pretty much the beach is a very popular vacation spot a couple years ago I saw a beach so crowded it was hard to find a place to settle down at.
I ran 1.7 miles on the beach with my brothers once and I didn’t condition at all so that was the first time I ran in a while our time was 14 mins and 15 seconds
I remember this one HS cross country course where 70% of it was on loose desert sand. BRUTAL. Hated that course. Felt so great when it switched to packed gravel for final mile or so.
This video, as well as all of my Orange County videos, were filmed several weeks ago prior to a surge in COVID-19 cases nationwide. I would not hold an event like this today given the circumstances.

I gotta say. I absolutely love your love and enthusiasm for running. Of course you can't run like you used to but your're still so excited for running and to pass the sport on to the next generation of younger runners.
I am a 6th grader going into 7th grade. I am an 800m runner. My pb in the mile is 6:05 and that was on a track. The splits for Zach are almost the same as mine were for my pb mile of 6:05. The fact that this guys ran a 6:06 on a sandy beach is just amazing. Love this channel. I am a big fan of you Nick.
Love your videos man, I use to be a competitive swimmer. The next best thing to swimming is running especially right now. As a lifeguard who runs on the beach I can feel the pain of soft sand running lol. Everyone in the video are studds for doing this challenge!
Man Im finally feeling the effects of getting older. I ran with you guys while out playing basketball and I made it .3 miles before dropping because I didn't eant to hurt my knees. Take advantage of your youth and push your body as much as possible, enjoy the strength of your body. Have fun 🙌
Love that beach. Use to play Volleyball there. Surf shops everywhere on Mainstreet. Great content and inspiring youth middle distance runners all over.
Love it how this guy not only thought Iceland was England, he must think the Great Britain flag is England too. So good. Imagine a Welsh or Scottish person listening to this video haha
Hey Nick. Great vid! I’m a high school cross country runner and love your videos. The hardest part of our 5k races is the second mile for me. I always get passed by multiple people in the second mile, and was wondering if there was a specific workout you’d recommend to try to improve on this?
I have a video of me jumping rope and giving a word. I found this guy’s channel by accident and I got hooked. I love the way he interacts with the people on the street. I’ll be purchasing your gum today man. God bless you 🙏🏾
Looking forward to getting some Rum Gum for Christmas! Your videos always are amazing and thank you for inspiring me to keep running even when I don't feel like it
makes me wonder how Louis Zamperini ever ran a mile in 4:12 on sand. I mean if he could do that I'm betting he could have shattered the 4 minute barrier long before Roger Bannister did.
God gave you such an amazing gift Your 800 PR is absolutely beyond SICK!! I dreamt of breaking 1:50 in college, meanwhile, Nick was dreaming of breaking 1:40!

I regularly run 20-30k on our local beach barefoot around 9-10 min pace per mile Never run an all out mile on the sand My best road mile is 6:32 as an older runner should be interesting to see how i go but if Nick goes 8:38 im guessing im going to be pretty slow 😂 I know its hard going in the sand especially at 54 years old Great video Loved it Looking fwd to giving it a go this week after seeing this
I'm 27 year old targeting 1mile and 3km races.. now I'm running easy run 4km in sand...my 3km time in sand is 21mins. How can I make 3km in 13mins and 1mile in 6mins in sand..your experience can help me I think so
World health organization says most people infected with covid 19 will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. It's mostly old people in terrible health who were going to die soon anyway that are dying from it.
Can't run b/c of leg injuries, but i lap swim 5 nights a week for 45 minutes straight. Would Rungum be a good option before my workouts? If so how many minutes should i chew it before the swim? Love the videos and this is one of my favorites!
Hey Nick, I'm a big fan. I love all your vids, keep up the great work. I am a High School runner who does middle distance track and XC. What training/workout routines do you suggest we should follow?
