It takes a lot of courage to be so public with your attempts. Beautiful moment seeing you emotional and thanks for sharing that. One day you will break 220 and it will initially feel amazing but that feeling will fade and then you will be left with pride you have for continuing to believe and turning a “failure” into a growth experience. Congrats and thanks for the inspiration!

I loved your narration on this video Nick. Very personal and your camera guy got some great video of you throughout the race. I could totally see you going through the range of emotions on your race. You looked light and easy going in the first half and you could see the fatigue set in later in the race. I've been there MANY times as well. You'll get there on the sub 2:20. The marathon is just a tricky race. It's been a while since I've done one but I enjoy watching your training and see how you approach the sport.

Hi Nick, You truly are inspiring, and thank you for giving kudos to one of my Strava Half Marathon activities, otherwise I wouldn't have find out about you. I ran Cape Peninsula Half on Sunday, my target was sub 1h30, by the official time, I missed it by 3 seconds. The above video is inspiration that I should not give up, I will get to that sub 90 half one day.

before I watched this vid I wondered to myself 'did he go out too fast because he wanted to make sure he was in a group?' I've just got to the part where you are isolated and put in a big effort catching up to the group. Whilst being in a group is nice, if they are going too fast it really isn't worth it. We've seen this with other vloggers best example being Seth DeMoor in Amsterdam when he went out in 67 then blew up badly in the second half. You've done countless efforts and many races solo, including PB's. Trust your pace, trust your fitness. I'm only able to comment on this because you, and Seth have shared these journeys, so thank you for this, and you definitely have sub 2:20 in your locker.

Hey Nick. Great vid bud. Your race very much mimicked mine on Sunday albeit I was only running the Peninsula Half (with a much more modest goal). Don’t be hard on yourself, despite one or two harsh comments. Each marathon is teaching you something new as you hone your craft. I think you’re learning where your sweet spot is. You will run sub 2:20 soon. In the meantime we all get to enjoy your journey. Rest up and good luck with the new arrival.

The hardest thing is to push hard when you realise the target can't be met and you did that. Your early splits show you clearly have the basic speed to do sub 2:20. Seville is great feedback on your training block. Maybe the next block will have more emphasis on stamina runs and running form weighted resistance exercises, rather than speed. You can get 2:20, no doubt about it

You know I think you would have got it with a more cautious first half but as you say you felt great and had to see what that meant. Life rewards the bold and one day taking that risk when you feel great will pay off. Another huge block banked. Thanks for sharing it.

Hey Nick.. I thought your decision making was spot on.. no regrets and you backed yourself. A very brave attempt and you were on 2.17 for the majority of your run which was the time I predicted. However when you do get everything clicking into place I reckon you will do a 2.16 - 2.17 Such small margins but your mental strength is a big factor to keep going. Keep your chin up and come back for more. I back you 👍

Literally sounds like every marathon I've ever run. It's so deceiving in the early stages when you're feeling great, then in those last 10ish K it suddenly hits you and, as much as you try to will the body on it just can't go, so you have to use your mind to dig into the depths of your limits and force yourself to keep moving forward, all the while seeing your goal slip away. It's so miserable that it makes you wonder while we keep going back for more but we do. Mind you I never learn, even after 17 marathons 🙄

Much respect for your openness! Really courageous run. Saw you a couple times during the race, I myself ran with the first women for much of the marathon (I'm the topless dude at 21:16). Inspiring video that leaves no doubt you have a sub-2.20 in you. Cheers

Hey Nick, your videos are quite an inspiration and I always enjoy watching your way. It must have been really hard to create and post this video shortly after the race, but I am sure with your determination you will get it next time! See you in Berlin, I will be "chasing" you from one or two blocks behind 🥳

Gutted for you Nick! You will do it one day. It looked quite a fragmented race. As in, the packs didnt hold together for long and this caused the first half to be a little fast. Strava suggested the km splits were uneven. Rest up Nick, enjoy the imminent addition to your family 🙂. Love the videos. Let's go for Berlin!!
