Standard grammar parses the sentence as:
No one works as hard as he [works].
I can run faster than he [can run].
In informal speech, however, many speakers treat as and than more like prepositions than conjunctions and would use him in both sentences.
My advice would be to follow standard grammar in writing, but imitate the pattern of those around you whom you need or want to impress with being "like them."
