In the last year and a half I've run 3 1/2 marathons at 3 hours. Training for another in October. Shooting for a sub-2 hour time using your training principles . I'll be 63 at this time. Due to COVID I had a stroke 3 years ago. This will be a huge accomplishment for me. Wish me luck.

To run a marathon as fast as you do with so much muscle mass is mind-blowing. I've appreciated the multi-year journey that you've documented showing how you've progressed. Truly incredible.

"endure the process" that is so refreshing to hear over and over again.

hearing you talk time and time again about nutrition and fueling during workouts/runs made me start to take that side of training more seriously and I recently did a 16 mile 'hard' trail run with lots of elevation. And I took fueling seriously with electrolyte intake and eating some food every few miles and it was fantastic. Felt stronger, faster and more confident the entire time.

Got my first marathon coming up next year. This has GOT ME GOING!!!! Keep it up Nick. 💪

I just ran a 4:16 marathon in Melbourne! Totally agree it’s a process and patience is needed for building. Best of luck for your marathon prep!! 🤝

Episodes are getting better and better !! Great work guys!!

Thanks nick, I like that you mention time on feet as a part of volume. For those of us 4.5- 5 hr marathoners, it's important that we consider this more than miles for our long runs! Very informative. Congratulations.

I like the way you explain things very slowly and broken down where we can understand! Thank you for these videos

As someone who has been here since the Seol videos, I can say your are still dropping great content my guy. Thanks for the gems.

Love it! Lots of valuable insights put together in one video!

What I like about you Nick, is that you talk the talk but also walk the walk, you talk from experience after years of trial and error! Keep it up sir

Preping for my first marathon ever. Your videos help me immensely. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge ❤️🙏🏻

Thanks for all of the inspiration, Nick. You’ve motivated and inspired me to get back to running and lifting AND creating content. Hope to continue building my channel. Thanks again

Great video. Not only super entertaining to watch, but also packed with tips and advice. I'm training for my first ever marathon at the moment and this has been so helpful, thanks!✨

Tapering down from all the heavy lifting I’ve done the past 10 years, changing my perspective on running as another challenge instead of a chore has helped so much. Thanks for being my inspiration to get into hybrid training!!

Thanks nick, in the process of training for my first 100 miller and this is such a good reminder to do the small things right and to enjoy/endure the process.

Did my first ever half marathon in may, just signed up for my first ever full marathon next may. Go one more.

Great content Nick! I will run two full marathons in 2024! Endurance will take me there!

Man...CONSISTENCY. I in the Army for some time now. I smoked for 17 years. After having a son, I started to prioritize my health in order to be with my family as long as possible and to make myself a reliable role model. I tell you for sure: if you decide to change your mind, man, you can change anything else - that depends only on you, at least. And it turns out, that's a lot! Well, long story short, my kid is 9 now. I completed my first marathon June 22', my first UTMB race this year in Brazil. I created a good problem. Now I loom at myself and I wonder: what else am I able to build that I'm still not able to perceive? What else am I able to accomplish if I truly commit? I don't have these answers today, but man I'm chasing it. God knows I'm chasing it. Some 40 years from now - I hope - I wanna look back and, proudly and humbly, say: "Well...there was some really tough men out there in my days. I'm not sure if I'm the greatest. But I'm sure I did my best". Man, I love your videos and the life story that you're building. Say hi to your loved ones. Hope to know you and your company personally some day. Greetings from Brazil.

You’re a powerhouse for your brand (company)! What I really like is how you blend everything in (family, work, & performance). I wish my coach would do this! I find myself repeating some of these phrases (enduring “the process”), as I get ready to run Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, so thanks for putting yourself and your company out there, and producing these high quality videos. You rock dude!!!

This video. 🔥 Kudos Nick, for your professionalism on this channel, and STRONG wishes of luck from Portugal 🇵🇹 on this next stage of your life, it’ll work. 🙌💪

This is super inspirational. Thank you!

This video is so helpful! I started MAF training 2 weeks ago and I can’t wait to keep going , your video is very informative and inspiring! I used to be very interval focused and I’m trying to transfer to endurance and longer runs.. can’t wait to implement your tips !🎉 keep going nick, you’re helping a lot of people !

agree with all these tips its a great video mate. all the best for your prep!

great video! no fluff and I didn't have to watch you hang out with your friends, use your drone, and not talk about what your video title was about. (damn I sound more grumpy ever year that passes.) Thanks for this. the lactic acid and carb part helped me the most, do understand what is happening inside my body and what to put in it, and when. Thanks again. I am only running 10K's but this is still very relevant.

I was going to say one of the best, but instead will say - the best explanation on training philosophy and endurance that I have ever heard! ❤ go get ‘em!

Keep killing it Nick 🙏🏾

Great video as always. Your way of combining lifting and running has inspired me a lot!

Thank you so much. This is such a clear, well produced, motivational video.

Thanks Nick - you're always inspiring and gettin after it and explaining it. Stay jacked and long distance!!

perfect explanation! added value for every athlete. Thx for your motivation

You’re as legit as it comes. Appreciate these videos as well as you documenting your journey to being an elite runner.

This is such a great breakdown. Thanks for making it simple and easy to understand.

Treat those broad hr formulas (I.e. 180-age) with caution.. they make sense for most people but not all. RPE or getting a VO2 max test to find your true zones is a better idea.

the PERFECT video I needed right now!! Thank you

It’s awesome to see your progress! I am trying to implement MAF training due to constant injury. I hope it helps me continue to reach my goals too.

Awesome advice. So very helpful and will help so many build an amazing foundation. Thank you so much for this video. Great content. 🔥🔥

Controlled discomfort. Love it. One of my favorite videos of all time. Found it right when i really needed.

Thank you for your knowledge Nick, im still working on my growth n discipline

Great content Nick.

So so so helpful thank you for making this video!!!

Thank you for making this video 🙏🏻

One of your best videos!

What a spot the Running room looks! Cracking video

Love seeing my hometown marathon make an appearance in this video and you PRing on it. Buffalo, baby!

So great! Nick, I love your Videos ❤

It’s crazy to see how big and bulky you were when you started running. I remember watching you back before all that and before Steph. Time flies by!

Thank's nick awesome explaining keep the good wirk up

Just got into Running 3 months ago. This helps a lot. I have a half marathon in 4 months and I am training towards that. My long run is currently 6miles. Slowly building to it, and hopefully can get to do a full marathon one day.

Been running in Nashville this week, they’ve got some good hills here for longer runs- the area is definitely the new Austin of places people are moving to

I run fast for longer if the weather it's fine, running in the winter is different to run in the summer. I just run for fun but the weather is very important for me like the wind our humity to run fast for longer you know. I gain Resistence and Consistency and when I catch a good day I push it! Felling strong, breath fresh, good felling!

My first half-marathon is coming up. Been using your tips and advice

You should write a book! Great video, i loved it👍

A friend of mine told me similar thing about marathon prep and nutrition: "don't try to loose weight during preparation, you can loose it after marathon" :) (I listened and didn't loose anything :D)

Discovered MAF training so I’m going WAY slower than ever before and it’s testing my patience. But all the examples I’ve read about say it’s worth pushing through the months/years of slow running

Congrats on 1M!!!!! 🎉

I'm training for my first trail half marathon. The nutrition point is so underrated: every time I underfueled, my runs were unnecessarily painful. I now make sure to fuel before, during, and after each session. My body recomp was slightly different in that I had to add strength with running specific weight training, but overall the recompense is at the expense of body fat for now, I reduced fat in my diet too and lord knows I love French cuisine and all its butter

This is very useful for my training block, thank you Nick

Great video and tips!

Very, very thank you!

Great video! Thank you!!

Inspiring and informative video. Kudos!

I always try to tell people just as you have Nick. If you are currently orienting your goals around running, you gotta dumb down the lifting a little.

Great information, great hat !

My biggest inspiration for my 2 marathon builds. Sub 3 October 28th

Awesome video, you truly are an inspiration and a testimony of progress. When's BPN coming to Latin America?

YOU ROCK MAN!

I’m about to run the Greece marathon, fell off on my program because of life and I’m still overweight. Gonna push through and do my best, it’s gonna be tough as hell though especially with the elevation.

I ran my first marathon last week, the Surf City Marathon in Huntington Beach, in 5:06. I’m super proud of myself, considering I couldn’t even run a mile without stopping 4 months ago. What I noticed about the people who were zooming ahead is that they really have a lot of muscle. This is why I want to start doing hybrid training, so that not only can I build endurance but also gain strength

Well done on the 1Million subscribers 😮

Share some insights on how you prevent plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and other injuries that come with running constantly

Thank you Nick!

Dope video. Very informative

Good content! Thanks you

Thanks Nick, first Marathon was today in D.C and i ran a 3:13..these videos have provided great guidance assisting me in setting such a high baseline!

Really great advice, and I agree with all of it and have experienced improvement in my running by applying this approach. I would also add that MAF180 isn’t the only way to work out max aerobic HR, there are better ways to do this that might be more accurate for you.

Love the content, been here since day 1. How do you keep your knees healthy?

Thanks for the advice 🤙

I’ve never known of a guy with as much muscle as Nick that can run a marathon in under 3 hours

Thanks a ton man!

its a great summary and enjoyed the video. Only thing I have like some others, is I feel I need to be a full time athlete to nail down the diet part of things. I just do intermittent fasting and eat what I want cause of busy lifestyle...job etc.

This video is gold. I’m 50, just ran my first marathon. Sub 4. Need to shave 20 minutes off to BQ. Didn’t think it was possible till I watched this. Can I do it? Probably. Will I? Remains to be seen.

最高です、ニックさん！！

This dude is such a savage 💯💪

I'm going to do a series for a normal guy that works rotating shifts sub 4hr marathon training while eating normal food without measuring anything and using a heating pad, foam roller and ice packs for recovery.

Regarding Endurance - Well put Mr Bare

Love it! I’m trying for an Ironman 70.3 and the run is my weakest discipline. Thank you Nick!

New video lets go!!!!

Hey Nick, I’ve started running and been at it for about a month and was wondering if you could do a video on form

10/10 content in this video.

This guy is awesome love it keep it up nick screw the haters ?

Sub 3 hour marathon is mind blowing to me.

I saw BPN at the NYC MARATHON expo but Nick wasn’t there. So sad 😮

Any plans for a dexa scan? Curious what your body fat and lean mass is this deep in prep.

Im ngl you sound so crazy but if I follow this It’ll be even more crazy how accurate you are. New goal unlocked 2024 lets go baby!!!

EPO baby. LFG!

Crazy how you went from 4:15 to sub 2:40 . my first was 3:45 and going for sub 3:30 for my second marathon

@Nick, awesome video Have you chosen a course to break 2:45?

Thank you for the video. Can I ask a question pls? You are obviously a muscular guy, how do you maintain muscle mass whilst doing ultra level mileage pls?
