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
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!
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
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
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
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!
Well Done! I just began following this channel after watching you inspire others in London to finish Sub 3. I’m going to try breaking 3 in Amsterdam next year. My current PR is 3:09:28. That got me got Boston in ‘22. And I loved your energy in those videos. But this video is incredible! You did so well! Met Kipchoge! And didn’t get your 2:20 but you didn’t fall apart. Shows there’s always something to celebrate! Thanks for the inspiration! I’ll be watching.
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 🏃♂️👏.
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"
Man you're such a positive person it's contagious. Started running thanks to your inspiring content!! Keep up the good work, im sure you'll get sub 2 20' next year. Greetings from Brazil !!!
Amazing effort, Nick! Kept a close eye on your splits throughout the whole race and really wished you a sub 2:20 race. It didn’t happen at Berlin but it will come soon enough! Keep at it, keep spirits high as you always do and let’s continue the grind for a sub 2:20 finish! Wishing you all the best!
You gave it all Nick and didn't go down without a good struggle. Some day you'll get your sub 2:20 Saw you right before the start on the live stream :)
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!
Nick - your mentality is amazing. No excuses and pushed to 100% - The amazing thing about this prep is that you've given 100% to everything in your life; Family, Running and Business. This has just given me the motivation to go smash my goals, not only on the track but in my personal life too. So if you want to take away a victory - you have a victory in me. Thank you.
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.
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👍
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
Gutted for you, but you gave it your absolute all and no one can ask for any more than that! Your vlogs are a joy to watch - your enthusiasm is infectious!
Wow, thanks for taking the time to put that together.your video popped up in my feed and i watched your journey. Great to see the prep an elite athlete puts in is just the same as us mere mortals. Found myself crying when you started going downhill, WTF?? Really enjoyed your journey and loved summary and positive thoughts post race for your athletes. You did your best and that's what you produced on the day. Congrats mate!!
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 🤘🏻
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.
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 ;)
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 👍🏻!
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 👊🏻
Sub 2:20 is coming. And the longer you wait, the harder you try, the sweeter the feeling will be. I almost wanna be there on your next attempt, as I could only imagine the joy and the party when you finally get it. "Boom shaka laka" from Bulgaria.
Dude, inspirational. And all of those people helping you,cheering you on and filming. You have won at life! And you will get your goal. Thank you for being such an inspiration, you are helping others too with your passion!
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
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.
Amazing effort and outcome Nick - you should still be so proud of the work that you put in. Just goes to show that there's no way around the fact that the marathon has to be respected!
There are so incredibly many things I like about this race report! Your positivity after such a long sought after milestone, which was so close this time, yet slipper away. Amazing. So positive and strong, truly inspirational! Then you, as a TH-cam champion, cheering on other runners. Cannot put into words how cool that is. Very well done, you are an example on how to enjoy running, set challenging goals and how to work hard for it and keep on pursuing. Massive kudos to you! 💪💪💪
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!
Thanks for always sharing your journey Nick , keep pushing , your videos always make my day , thanks very much ,I love your positive vibes , keep making people smile ❤
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.

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.

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.
