There's a TH-camr named Beau Miles who ran a marathon over 24 hours 1 mile an hour, and also built a table, planted a tree, and played Monopoly and a bunch of others things on the same day. Even this video is impressive. It inspired me to do something similar some day.
Planted 26 trees. Made a paddle. Made a table. Hung some pictures ... . He also did a follow up last year where he walked the 1-mile loop with his new baby that gives a completely different perspective on the same lap.
Beau is a great story teller. I watch every minute of his. He actually ran a full marathon in that vid. He started off with a 5k so it ended up being 26 miles in 24 hrs. I kind of skipped around watching this.
I gotta say, something I really admire about Nick, never afraid to be a beginner and take on new challenges ever after being on the top of the running world.
@@nicksymmonds Best Duo I have ever seen Just like Batman and Robin. Also cant wait for you to come to Boston Im apart of a track team and we would love to meet you.
@@nicksymmonds Why didn't you give Beau Miles credit for this idea. A bit disingenuous not reference him. I like your video but would have been good to reference at least in the description Beau's original video of "A mile an hour"
@@nicksymmonds yeah, im not a great runner, but i find it easier to run 6 miles all at once than to run 1 mile six different times. running miles in intervals and with breaks is much more stress on your nervous system and requires much more energy. also, eating while you're burning so much energy is difficult for your body because your body is working overtime trying to simultaneously repair and energize your muscles with food that's sloshing around in your stomach still. digestion is supposed to take time.
I love that Nick's always positive vibes and humility. Like even though he's an Olympian and I'm a mortal, I feel like I wouldn't feel intimidated to work out with him because he seems so inclusive and welcoming. Great vids! :)
@@treyellis3 Is anything it was David Goggins, which is actually tougher because it’s 4 mile run in 2 hours for 24 hours. Pretty much like running 20 miles in 24 hours. If you’re fast enough you can knock out a 4 miler in a half an hour, like I can, then it means you get more rest. My fastest mile while doing the Goggins style challenge was 7:26 because I wasn’t pushing too hard I was just going to see how much of that I could do. I got up to about 10 hours (or about 14 miles) and that was all I could do.
@@treyellis3 I guess.. but not a new idea.Imma guess tons of runners have some random thought like this. We talked about this exact run, 1mile an hour for 24 hours, in college as an off season, fuck around team building thing.
I don't know if you've heard of Beau Miles, but he made a film doing a very similar challenge and it's one of my favorite short films to watch on TH-cam. So when you announced you were doing this same type of challenge I got very happy. This video (like all your others) is so fun and inspirational and I'm so glad you have this space where runners can come together and share their passion. Keep up the incredible work dude, to you and your team.
In high school I wa part of a ten man 24 hour relay where each person runs a mile, and hands it off to the next guy. It worked out at about a timed mile every hour. It was brutal. We broke an obscure record for it, because so few teams had tried it.
This video might be a year old, but it's what I needed to see TODAY! Thanks Nick for the push! I'm on day 13 in a 30-day challenge and I really didn't wanna do my work out tonight- super tired and exhausted. I found this video and to my surprise it was exactly what I needed to see and hear! No pain, no gain!! Keep up the amazing work!
Another new Nick Symmonds video! You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs! I’d love it if you had a running event in Massachusetts because I’d love to be in it. Running is one of my favorite sports!
I did this challenge last year for my 16th birthday. Really fun and miserable at the same time, especially since I didn’t plan on it beforehand and I did it all alone. I ran 1.1-1.3 every hour to hit a total of about 27 miles, every one being sub 8, which was my goal. Some highlights include seeing a bighorn sheep in the middle of the road in my suburban area (there’s a property with goats/sheep on that route), and seeing random teen pushing a car around with their friend on top. This year I think I’ll try 4 miles every 4 hour for 48 hours.
For real and then she did a cart wheel when she won a race. I can't even run a 10min mile... Let alone have energy to do a cartwheel after one. She's an animal 😂
Way to go Nick! I did this challenge a few weeks ago too! Definitely easier to run the whole thing at once rather than breaking it up. Keep up the cool challenges!
Congratulations on setting the goal and sticking to it. Setting goals is easy, finishing is difficult. I've observed many things in here. How important it is for our friends to be part of the journey and doing it together makes all the difference at the same time you were all alone in the last mile. Even that has a message that no matter what, you yourself are responsible for finishing the task. There is so much of learning in this task and thank you for inspiring me. Loved it. Love from India 🇮🇳 Regards, Vatsal
All of your videos are incredible but this is by far the most impressive. Even your last few miles you were able to keep a great pace. You are such a huge inspiration to help me get back into shape.
I love watching your running videos. Im 27 years old and I used to be on cross country and track in high school and loved to run but I was diagnosed with late-onset tay-sacks disease and it makes you quads very weak and even though I trained legs since high school, the progression of tay-sacks is to severe and still makes the quads very week and now I struggle with walking. I can walk but stairs and running im not able to do. Keep being positive and keep on running!
Watching this video saturday morning, with a good cup Of coffee and now i feel like going for a run. Thanks nick for the great videos and motivation to workout. Greetings from Finland :)
Just did the Manitou Incline in Colorado Springs over the 4th week end and it is "SPECIAL"! It would be awesome to see you guys do that. I have such a good time seeing you have a 'great' time in your challenges. Keep it up. You're inspirational through and through.
Nick if you do a video in DC this summer or fall, I’d totally bring me and some of my high school team for it! Northern Virginia(which is where I run) has a pretty good distance track and XC lineup!
Nick I wish I could come run with you but I live in Alabama. Maybe someday. You are my favorite TH-camr and I would not see running the same way without you. Thank you.
I love that you said east coast. I just mentioned that in a comment a few videos ago 😍 I should probably think what you would do or where you would run!
This is crazy. The mental fortitude this must have taken is nuts. Stowing this in the back of my mind when I need to convince myself to run that last stretch or get that last rep out. Mad respect.

Running is awesome
I’ve always wanted to do this, but I was skeptic, but seeing you do this, gives me inspiration to do it
I did it with my team, it’s really fun but also hard
Nick is on that grind!! 💪 such great dedication
I love how it went from super fit sporty vibes to college frat guy vibes. This guy is an absolute king!
It made me smile that the video keeps the theme of "24" with a runtime of exactly 24 mins :)
Congrats Nick, that was pretty impressive and amazing!! Very nice video and thanks Ryan for filming it all perfectly!
So well filmed :)
No one going to give credit to that little girl who appeared in like 4 of the races!!!?

200 push ups
300 squats
Run another mile
i could do that in my sleep
Don’t forget the 20 pound weight vest

could do that
It’d take me a while tho, 1 hr prob
"If it ain't hard, it ain't worth doing". So much respect to you for finishing this!
actually going 1mile per hour is harder than rly running and I love how the video is 24min so its 1mile per min
haha he probably could've walked the whole thing faster than 24 hrs and been less stress on his body.
This stuff is great. I remember back in 2017 when he started this account... 2,000 followers. Well done Nick!
Is everyone gonna ignore the fact that this video goes for exactly 24 minutes?
Nick you're an inspiration brother! It's fun to watch you challenge yourself. Keep it up. We love watching. Can't wait to challenge with you one day!!

its funny because if you recorded this yesterday evan could've taken the money

that’s what I was thinking!
still kinda fuzzy on the new rules, but i believe they're still not allowed to take prize money from competition, just marketing and image sales.
