I was aiming under 3:30, at 35k i was predicted at 3:28:20. It crashed me so hard, i ended up at 3:36. I have three kids. Giving everything in Training. But i did not have it in the end. But im proud. I will do my 3:29:xx - and you will do yours 2:19:xx - maybe next year! Go!
you ran wayyyy over youre head. you are not in aub 220 shape. it just how the marathon goes. spend time with your family , and step away from running for a while. then come back
Great effort! So consistently close to sub 2.20 and most consistent runner on you tube.. period.. Just unlucky you didn’t have the pack of runners around you for the last 5k.. not ideal to be isolated but you will achieve your sub 2.20 goal, that’s a definite and good fighting spirit you have as well👍
Nick do you not think you are under fueling ? More and more research shows that high performing athletes such as yourself should be consuming 60g to 90g of carbs an hour? Could that be what’s affecting the last stretch of your race ? Keep up the good work, keep pushing hard and keep inspiring us the way you do
Well done mate, absolutely love the channel. Motivated me to restart running, lost 17lb and running my first half marathon in 3 years next month! Love the grind, love the results, love the positivity
Where does your strength lie? Is it speed or is it endurance? Does the 3:18 per K pace feel relatively easy for you? If so I can share the lessons I have learned. I was never in your class to run anywhere near 2:20. My goal has always been sub 3:00, and the required 4:15 per K pace always felt super easy for me. Most of my speed workouts I was running easily under 3:30-3:20 per K, but that did not help me break 3:00. I would be well under goal pace until about the 32-35K mark and then the wheels would fall off. Then I changed my training I stopped focusing on speed workouts and just did easy runs during the week to keep the mileage up, but then I would also do a long 36K run every weekend at around 4:30-4:40 per K pace, so about 8% slower than my goal race pace, which for you would be around 3:30-3:35 per K. And this training worked for me. I was finally able to break 3hrs. So the lesson I learned from this was to not focus on my strength (speed) but rather focus on where my main downfall was which is the lack of strength to keep up the required pace for 3hrs.
Congrats Nick. Concentrate on your awesome achievement of achieving 2.22. Only a select elite few ever reach this level. Please stay in the marathon zone. "Simply the Best"
I started back my running journey Dec 2022 : my first marathon 3:40 in LA 2nd ran 3:05 Santa Rosa next sub 2:59 cmi Dec 3rd ! Just qualified for Boston it’s been a quite ride so far along the way inspire many runners and coach a few etc - mate: good luck and have fun doing it . One peace of advice besides the long runs and tempos running make sure you don’t forget track
No regrets! You did amazing Nick. Berlin 2023 was my very first marathon ever, and I can only imagine what a feeling it would be to reach your level. Onwards to sub 2:20!
Ah so close again. When I looked at your training it did look very similar to last year and you went better at the Big Half this time so I thought you had a decent chance but as you imply this level is so tough. Out of interest I wonder how many of that sub 2:20 pace group you were in actually did it? Be interesting to look at their training if so.
Wow, this really shows what the marathon is all about and that you never know untill it's over 😮! But whatever happened, that was an epic day and a great performance 👍🏻!
Sorry that again it did not work out, but this time you did perfect splits so it simply was not meant to be. I also find the weather conditions were not as perfect as last year (although still good overall). I tried to beat 2:58h for the second time and was on track until km 27 but then it got too hard too early and I pretty much feel just like you now. And of course there is no giving up, so maybe see you next year for the 50th Berlin Marathon ;-)
You're such an inspiration Nick. Showing your high and your low. I am preparing La Rochelle Marathon (in France) in 2 months, your video is giving me a lot of motivation to smash my PB
Congrats on a strong effort. Ketones are for recovery not racing, the studies show. It seems they might impact glycogen processing at medium to high intensity
With all your current fitness perhaps you should go straight into the Abingdon Marathon on 22nd October. Nice flat and fast course, sub 2:20 and a win! What's not to like?
Amazing time Nick well done. I'm now two weeks out from my first Marathon aiming for 3:45. Kinda nervous with the taper, feels strange going easy for two whole weeks and not losing fitness. Let's see... 😅
This result is a great success for a number of reasons. 1. You're married and a father to two very young children 2. You're very busy running your own successful business (you coach numerous people and organise events) 3. You're very active on social media 4. You're self coached. This is an incredible result, Nick. You've got a lot on your plate. Perhaps working with an experienced coach who has run sub 2:20 or coached multiple athletes who have run sub 2:20 would help? Ryan Hall, Luke Humphrey, Greg Mcmillan, Nate Jenkins, Andrew Kastor, Terrence Mahon, Steve Magness and Lee Troop are a few names off the top of my head, but there are many more and I'm sure there are some wonderful coaches in the UK, too. Having a coach is not an admission that you don't know what you're doing or that you lack confidence in your ability to put together a great programme. It's admitting to yourself that you have a lot of important things happening in your life and that trusting your training to someone experienced who has delivered the desired result for other athletes, will allow you to have more energy for the things that matter most. Much love from RSA, Nick. Keep going brother!
Appreciate your kind words champ and it's something seriously considering and will most likely get a coach for the next block just to switch things up a bit.
Cheers Nick I’m crying again. There are so many key takeaways from this in terms of advce for us runners - thank you! (I’m now taking my pillow to Valencia!) We are all rooting for you, it will come - for now… it’s family time. All the best bro 👊🏻
Dont worry mate, i was going to do sub 1:40 half and went a bit too fast after 12k for 4k, and then lost strenght and then went 1:40:03.. so stick to the plan, at least you did, and there was nothing you coudl give more at that time.
Amazing Nick. Love the channel and what you bring to the community. Cheered you on at KM 23 and was rooting for you to hit that sub 2:20. You have 100% got this in your wheelhouse. Looking forward to your return for the 50th anniversary. Know you gonna smash it then for sure 🏃♂️👏.
Way to give it a good go. Keep up the great work. It will come. Maybe come back for the UP run next year😂 for good luck😂😂. You are a machine. Best attitude. Let's go. Boom shakalaka
Amazing job! Do you think maybe you started celebrating too early and that stopped you from being able to push in the final bit? Like your brain thinks you’ve already achieved it, why push past the suffer? I’ve done it before
With your magnificent attitude it's always a pleasure to follow your journey - sub220 or not you're constantly winning in the game of life mate. Going forward I'm curious if you've thought about if there's possible gains to make in terms of better fat adaptation/oxidation to prevent bonking late in the race? Perhaps coupled with ongoing lactate testing to check that your LT1 and implied base training is where it needs to be for the marathon distance? In any case best wishes for the next one! Don't give up on your dream! 🙌
Don’t be too hard on yourself Nick. You came 82nd! 82nd in the Boston freakin’ Marathon!! That is insanity man. You should be wildly proud of yourself.
Doing any give aways nick? I always love the adidas t-shirts that you wear.. am just saying Feel free to send 1 my way 😅😅 keep up the great content my man 🙌
Love your vlogs and simply being real. You gave it your bester and yeah... You can't predict your performance until it's done. No regrets having pace yourself well until 30km. Hate the money time. But you did us proud. Really feel for you but the exciting thing is... We get to follow your journey as you attempt it again. ♥️💪
Nick you smashed it. you might not have had the time on Sunday but you will come back stronger and better next time. it ended up being a very hot day and that doesnt help. keep smiling buddy
There's one sentence that pops out for me: NO REGRETS ... you gave it all and that's the goal. But what better then the 50th edition to better your PB .... looking forward already ;)
Question. I work in construction so I work like 14 hours a day and ma and my girlfriend have a 1 year old. So I got a treadmill to get me threw the winter months. How does a treadmill translate to outside running and should I even use it or just get me some winter gear and run outside when I can
@@donovangibson2603 yes in your case I’d definitely make use of the treadmill. It’s not quite the same as outdoor running but it’s a great training tool. Then try and get outdoors when you can
That was still a massive run, you slowed a bit but did well to hold what you did. Your form still looked good at the finish. I was on for a 2.50 in Berlin a while back and I cramped around 35k and barely scraped under 3. I may give it a go again, brilliant marthon experience.
Nice job! Congrats on a great race even though you didn't quite achieve your sub 2:20 goal. You will have another opportunity and I think you will learn from this race what you need to improve upon for the next attempt. Get some well-deserved rest!
I loved watching your epic journey, and still such an amazing time. You are an inspiration to runners like me and just what I need at the moment. You got that 2:19:59 in you, hard work and training will pay off eventually. Hope to see you at parkrun one day. Boomshakalaka 🤘🏻
The goat struggled at the end also, you should be very proud of yourself. You did a great job and it’s motivation for the next time. Let’s go ….Boom Shalaka
A Fantastic achievement Nick and lots to be proud of. I’ve looked at the elite times in different marathons and, apart from Kipchoge, they all slow noticeably after 35km. That 2:20 is a real barrier it seems for sun-elites. Not sure what more you can do if you’re putting in 100 mile weeks but you could still do it.
19:25 that mixed feeling... congrats mate, amazing run and amazing effort in the end! keep it rolling you will make it if you want it so hard! best to you Nick! inspiring!
I'll be doing my first ever marathon next year and am slowly building up the distance right now. Your videos give lots of inspiration, lots of knowledge and the reality of marthon training and racing. Thank you, although it kind of scares me, I can't wait to start the actual marathon training.
I was there to accompany my friend. He completed it at 2:36. I have a plan to run a marathon myself. Currently I run 15km at 52 minutes. I hope I would make it. I am 42 years young.
I was aiming under 3:30, at 35k i was predicted at 3:28:20. It crashed me so hard, i ended up at 3:36. I have three kids. Giving everything in Training. But i did not have it in the end. But im proud. I will do my 3:29:xx - and you will do yours 2:19:xx - maybe next year! Go!
Great effort mate - That is the beauty of the marathon: It's really not that simple! Everything can and will happen!
Well done 😊
You can only give 100% Nick. In the real world not every story has a fairytale ending but look where the journey has got you. Always another race.
Spoiler alert
you ran wayyyy over youre head. you are not in aub 220 shape. it just how the marathon goes. spend time with your family , and step away from running for a while. then come back
@@B1000ad😂😂
You missed your goal by less than what Eliud did. Epic effort! You'll get it next time.
It’s all about Marathon buddy… 30 km of warm up and 12 km of race ! Great effort! Congrats!
2:22. That’s an absolutely sick time. Very consistent splits. Sub 5:30 pace. Superb performance, congrats.
Have you had a chance to trial the new Adidas Pro Evo 1? Will you be using them for any future marathons?
Not yet, but I can't bloody wait!!
Great effort! So consistently close to sub 2.20 and most consistent runner on you tube.. period..
Just unlucky you didn’t have the pack of runners around you for the last 5k.. not ideal to be isolated but you will achieve your sub 2.20 goal, that’s a definite and good fighting spirit you have as well👍
Nick do you not think you are under fueling ? More and more research shows that high performing athletes such as yourself should be consuming 60g to 90g of carbs an hour?
Could that be what’s affecting the last stretch of your race ?
Keep up the good work, keep pushing hard and keep inspiring us the way you do
The most real post race thoughts ever - big respect for that! No excuses just honesty
Well done mate, absolutely love the channel. Motivated me to restart running, lost 17lb and running my first half marathon in 3 years next month!
Love the grind, love the results, love the positivity
Incredible!! Love hearing it and keep going!!

Very true and I think strength work is something I need to focus on next block. Hard, tough, undulating runs!
You win some and some you win!!! This one, you won!! You gave it your all and spared nothing! Awesome job Nick!! Truly 😎👊🏻🤙🏻
Amazing work mate. I love how you encourage all runners no matter what their level!
Congrats Nick. Concentrate on your awesome achievement of achieving 2.22. Only a select elite few ever reach this level. Please stay in the marathon zone. "Simply the Best"

Think you should take up triathlon, your big, so swim and bike you should do well, and then bring in a 2:20 marthon:) and think you will be number 1:)
Perhaps one day!
Perhaps take a clinic with Charlotte on how to push hard to the line, and 2.20 is in your pocket. 🙂
You're such an inspiration Nick. Showing your high and your low. I am preparing La Rochelle Marathon (in France) in 2 months, your video is giving me a lot of motivation to smash my PB
That was me with the specters 16:26 The one you passed as say i started “struggling” 😅
Congrats on a strong effort. Ketones are for recovery not racing, the studies show. It seems they might impact glycogen processing at medium to high intensity
With all your current fitness perhaps you should go straight into the Abingdon Marathon on 22nd October. Nice flat and fast course, sub 2:20 and a win! What's not to like?
I had it until I didn't ... I can totally feel that. It wasn't my race either but an incredbile experience nontheless.
I would not do the Saturday run. Just rest and stay of your feet.
Thanks for sharing your journey Nick. Don't give up.
Sorry it didn’t workout. It’ll probably come when you least expect it!
Sorry to hear you didn’t reach your goal this time. Look forward to watching the next effort!
She had it in her mouth and the kids walked in. So close. Unreal achievement though! Look forward to next years attempt buddy.
Even it was not under 2.20, but at least 2.22.12 is a wonderful number, isnt it?🤪🤪
fantastic job, well done. you have time to try again
I feel your disappointment man, but keep fighting! We will still be here rooting for your sub 2:20🔥🔥🔥 lets go!
June 22nd, 2024 -- run Grandma's Marathon! Point-to-point, usually great temps, and a very fast course. I could see it happening for you on US soil!
The fact that u gave your very best itself is a winner 🏅 god bless u
Its a marathon...
A couple of minutes is nothing in a marathon.
Amazing time Nick well done. I'm now two weeks out from my first Marathon aiming for 3:45.
Kinda nervous with the taper, feels strange going easy for two whole weeks and not losing fitness. Let's see... 😅
Think of it as a 50k run next time and you'll be comfortable till the finish 😂
Nick come to train in South Africa , camp with Ikhamva athletics club, that willbe great for your improvement.. just a suggestion 🇿🇦
This result is a great success for a number of reasons.
1. You're married and a father to two very young children
2. You're very busy running your own successful business (you coach numerous people and organise events)

Oh I won’t give up. Trust me! 🙌🏻
so funny filming eluid while he is changing and say wow wow wow
You will get it. It's within reach! Thanks for sharing so much with us. The marathon is just as mental as it is physical. That's what makes it crazy.
Don’t be too hard on yourself Nick. You came 82nd! 82nd in the Boston freakin’ Marathon!! That is insanity man. You should be wildly proud of yourself.
Travelling in those leggings wasn’t necessary
Amazing run and good luck for
You did amazing, and the way you portrayed your experience here is amazing too, loved the video whole way through
10seconds slower would be better ;-)! all jokes aside what a performance! that sub 2:20 will come anytime soon!
2:22:22 would have been sweeet! Haha but hey hopefully one day 2:19:XX will be even sweeter.

Still great Nick! rooting you from Indonesia
Great effort Nick. Gutted for you, but if that's what you can achieve without a perfect training block fingers crossed for next year.

Beautiful bro, such a beast of an athlete. Your determination is awe inspiring. Heres to the next 1! You'll get it
Thanks, that was an awesome run and great video. Great time. Love that you stayed on the line to support those that came after.
always a next time!!!
love the water bottles

Great effort Nick. The answers will come from within. I feel you will do it when you least expect it.
And fantastic time from Charlotte.
I understand how you're feeling, use this as motivation for next time 💪
Thanx for sharing ! Awesome ! I tracked you via the Berlin marathon app all the way ! ❤

Still an awesome time Nick! I was tracking you all the way.
A great series as always and an epic race vlog.
You will get sub 2.20 one day 👊
Amazing achievement after all these years 👏🏽
Hey Nick, what did you use to secure your bib for this race?
I used magnets for the front by but actually came off. So safety pins are 'safer' ;)
@@justalilbester Thank you. Am gonna stick with the pins too.
