You do realize there's actually REAL running coaches who provide advice on TH-cam, right? Coaches who've actually achieved REAL results on the world athletics stage. Sage Canaday is one runner that comes to mind. In fact, it's likely that Nick Bare has watched, has taken a lot from and is re-hashing what he's learned from their uploads.
Discovered your channel recently and must say it became one of my personal favourite fitness-related channels on TH-cam. Your videos are my daily pre-workout 😆
Great progression and things you're changing, moving in the right direction. It's great to see you as a newer runner making these changes early on, I remember it took me a while to figure some of these out.
Good point ... I can relate because I was also heel striking with a low Cadence when I first started ... actually I was doing that for two whole years! ... I'm glad I didn't get injured! I was lucky!
Hi nick! I’ve been watching ur channel for several years and it’s AMAZING to see how you’ve changed/grown into who u are today... u are such a positive person👊🏻 😊
You should buy multiple running shoes of the same to let the cushion reset. That running guy has posted that here prior. Rooting for you for Boston qualifier
You said you were reading Born to Run. I highly recommend A Quest for Adventure. The author/main character David Horton is my running professor in college and he’s such a hilarious inspiration.
Born to Run is a very fascinating book and a good read. I recommend Once a Runner by John L. Parker for your next read if you haven’t already. One of my favorite books about running!
Bemnet Habtu yoooo good call. Back 2010 when I got the Ironman and marathon bug I went through those two books more than once. Turned into a meathead and on my way back to running now like our man here.
Awesome watching your journey. I did something similar years back. Meathead to Ironman to marathon to bike racing and back to meathead. I’m actually inspired to take up running and cycling again after watching you and drop some pounds. I gave it one crack with a 3:21 but should’ve kept training like you’re doing. You have gotten fast. You’ll crush this.
Ryan McKinstry I think Nicks not on Strava because he’s selling his training plans, which is fair enough. If he was on Strava you could pretty easily reverse engineer his training plan and get it for free.
Ben Harris that makes sense, but if that’s what he thinks, why are some of the most elite runners in the world and USA on Strava? Their training plans are probably more “secret” than nicks because they are training under some of the best coaches in the world. Not attacking you* just saying it doesn’t make sense. (:
Got an idea for a T-shirt. Write “my Boston” on the front. On the back put your book title and company logo underneath. Because many of us are working towards something that’s our Boston
My 2 cents: although my build and fitness history is different from you, I personally regret having put lifting to the side for more running volume. Leading up to and after my marathon last year, i dropped the majority of my lifting to simple bodyweight sessions, and replaced it with running, which resulted in some overuse issues and strength imbalances, and ultimately a worse time I believe. I’d encourage keeping a couple sessions a week for (easy to recover from) strength and explosive movements (heavy lifting, Olympic lifting, pro athlete stuff, etc..) and some preventative or corrective movements (think lateral movements, clam shells, etc..) things that are common issues for runners. I’ll end with the theory partially supporting the idea: Increasing your body’s max capacity (muscles, joints, ligaments, CNS) for movement, decreases the percentage of your capacity a certain movement takes. Expressed as force per foot strike : 500lb strike/1000lb capacity=50% 500lb strike/1250lb capacity=40% Good luck with your training!
Quincy Freeman deffo agree 👍increasing your strength increases body weight movement efficiency + ability to sustain optimum running technique later in races. I’m also training for a marathon and do heavy strength training
I hope you will consider the Marine Corp Marathon. I'm signed up for the 17.75 and completion will guarantee me entry to MCM. Im also doing the Devil Dog Double in May. Maybe I will see you in the future and I will tell you my story of why I run for my life.
Great shoe choice! I ran my 7th marathon last year at the Chicago Marathon and got an 18+ minute PR and my first BQ with those shoes! Best of luck to you!!!
Hey Nick! I love your content but I do have a suggestion, would it be possible for you to add a small caption to the video with the distances and pace converted to kms for us on the metric system? Other TH-camrs like Kofuzi do that and it makes it easier to understand better your plans, progress and achievements. Thanks and keep up the good work!!
Check out the Leadville trail marathon and the Silver Rush races also in Leadville. Ill be there at all of them racing for the Leadman series but they are nice races to get you in the area and qualify for the Leadville 100 (depending on race and distance)! helps avoid the lottery in the future
honestly Nick... haven't seen many Heel Strikers run successfully in the Vapor Fly next%. But knowing you, you'll be the guy to prove them wrong! Go get em Champ!
Nick - if you can run 2 x 3 mi at a 6:00 pace, 5 min rest between, and run 14 - 16 mi at 6:40 pace, you will make your goal of breaking 3:00 and qualifying for Boston
I like the fence setup making the gym closed off! I have been wondering when you were going to do that. Also, I love the office setup with the black walls.
pretty simple jump from 170 up to 180bpm. I practiced this just running on the spot at home. you can do 180bpm by running on the spot and then bring it right into runs. good luck!
I used training peaks for the first time for next Ironman in April, their plans really kick your ass... little rest. Week 5 It’s starting to kick my ass! Feel stronger though for the first time
Hey! Your watch has a metronome feature which is pretty damn awesome! It works with vibration and you can set it to every minute or so for a cadence reminder.
Nick Something to do to improve your cadence as well that haven't seen you mention in any of your videos. When doing you running form drills do them at a cadence rate with the metronome. Also when doing treadmill work you do them at set speed but to the metronome with an increase of +2,+4,+6 for certain amount of time.
Its not ambitious. When I start to train like 4 months out of my race. my tempo run is around that pace. You will get faster obviously as you peak in your training. I ran a 2 hr 54min on my first attempt to qualify.
Make sure you run in those vapor flys before the big day, get 50 miles or so on them, the more you run in them the better you will feel and speed up, although no break in is needed I feel after 50 miles the ride is snappy more so, I no train in my old ones with 250 plus miles and have another pair to race in, well actually several pairs,
You should use more specificity with your resistance training. Understanding you want to decrease weight. Although it's a good opportunity for you to improve your running mechanics. For example, for your trunk exercises ("core"), you should incorporate more lumbopelvic control movements. These are really good for injury prevention and running mechanics. More applicable to running than hanging leg raises and GHD sit-ups. Just food for thought!
Great videos...I may miss why you want so bad the Boston Marathon? There are plenty of races...keep the great work and the good videos. Blessings to you.
Love the "Kona" color scheme of the Hoka Rincon's! Keep at it Nick! I love the Nike Next%'s, too, (for races), but I also love the Hoka Carbon X's for long training runs. Is it weird that I like the BPN pre-workout stack before run workouts?
@Nick, let me know if you need an extra camera guy in Eugene. I live in the greater Portland area and have been filming a lot of triathlon content for my own channel over the past 2 years. I've also run 2:33 for a marathon not that that would influence my filming. 📽
Pick up the RP Endurance Book by Alex Harrison. Consider consuming way more carbs. In the book they discuss you can consume up to 144g carbs / hour. 1 GU an hour is simply not enough.
I have the same issue with you Nick🤣🤣 Apparently, I just have to take those pink blast ZoomX Vaporfly Next% (because this is the only color option left for my size)🤣🤣
If you really wanna qualify your gonna need at least a 2:55 sub 18 5k sub 38 10k sub 1:27 half....and training for another marathon in 8 weeks is a bad idea. And probably cut all that pre workout out as well as going all out body workouts 6 days a week. And you gotta get your feet tested as well as what's best for your feet, not just throw on another pair, I hope you don't over train. I only say this cause I see A LOT of me in this, the mindset, the planning, the body style, idk what you say I know your hurting. I was into the lifting soccer, flag football, crossfit and then flipped a switch bought some on clouds and said I was gonna run a 1:35, half..... Ran a 1:50 took a yr and a half to break 1:40 3 yrs later I'm finally able to break 1:39.and now trying for a 1:35. The point I'm making is it will take at least a good year aerobic Base building. You're going to need accept the fact that your body is going to get a lot smaller probably more than you're comfortable with. Your body crashed at 10 MI which means that you are probably going to need to work on your half and your 10K I'm sure some other people have said all along the same thing take it all in as information and process. I pray you do qualify
I just started running again after 2 months off. I was have a lot of pain in my calves. I’m working towards the marine corps half marathon in may and full marathon in October. I really need to focus on proper foot strike and form.
Slim56 good luck on the Marine Corps half! That route is TOUGH (assuming there’s only the 1 in Fredericksburg VA), especially around mile 10ish. There’s a huge hill going up to the hospital that pretty much forces anyone who doesn’t train with hills to walk.
Good luck on both races. I have run the Historic Half a couple of times since it is a local race for me. I signed up for 1775 so that I could guaranteed entry into the Marine Corps Marathon.
If it’s your upper calves, then your form is fore foot strike which is what you want. The calf soreness will go away once you build that tolerance. Hope that helps!👍🏽
If you haven't heard of Patrick Cutter, you should look him up. He's about your size and runs a 2:40ish marathon. He's a great follow on Instragram. He might be able to give you tips about how to run a BQ with your mass and size.
Irun26.2 ...That guy is great ... really inspiring ... but in my opinion what nick needs is not inspiration instead he needs better information ... he needs a better Coach because any coach that would tell him that he can knock 24 minutes off of his marathon in 8 weeks is just crazy ... I understand that is going to be running an easier course but the timing is just too short! Nevermind the fact that marathons are very stressful on your body it takes 4-6 weeks to recover from one and instead of taking it easy hes jumping back into training 🤦♂️ its risking burnout or injury ... this guy's a hard worker but he needs to find a better game plan!!!
Are you doing the bodyweight strength exercises to help running or just for aesthetics? Would love to know because I'm training for my 1st marathon and only doing yoga and pull ups and press ups for my strength training.
In my opinion there are better sources for info on this subject then on this channel ... he's coming from a bodybuilding background so he's definitely going a little bit overboard with the strength training (I do the same thing myself) you'd have far better info by just Googling running exercises and strength training
@@paulop3730 obviously strength training is important for distance running ... for example a strong back and core developed through resistance training can keep a runner's posture strong during the later stages of the marathon .... without a doubt it helps. But what I'm trying to say is that nick is not the best source for people to follow for (running specific) strength training ... there are far better sources for this information on the correct exercises, reps, sets etc.
Hi nick i have a question I'm really inspired by your videos because your body seems much stronger than most runners yet you manage to a run relatively good pace . I was training calisthenics (bodyweight) but I have stopped in order to get lighter and run more mileage. How do you feel that bodyweight training impacts your running ?
My suggestion is to get really comfortable running 20- 30 miles per week prior to training ... and then max out at 40 mpw this volume will help you get through a marathon .... but if you're looking to run a really fast Marathon then you'll need 50 to 60 or even more miles as adequate volume ... also I would suggest that you find a really good training plan with structured workouts ... Hansons marathon method is a great book that could be used as a source as well as the Running Formula by DR Jack Daniels ... hope that info helps!
The Nike vaporfly's are amazing shoes, but make sure you save them for your actual marathon! They are FAR from durable and can go flat anywhere from 150-200 miles. Also if you train in other shoes and throw those bad boys on for your marathon you'll feel so damn fast.
Simply put ➡️ faster cadence (some where in the ballpark of 180 steps per minute) can ➡️ make you faster ➡️ make you more efficient over longer distances ➡️ and most importantly Prevent Injury .... proper cadence reinforces proper form where your foot is acting like a spring landing under your center of gravity
Hi Nick, how much muscle mass are you willing to sacrifice to improve your time? Are you purposefully trying to preserve as much mass as possible which is why your are still doing resistance training up to 5-6 times per week. Why not focus more on running and cut down resistance training to maybe 3 times per week? I feel like you can probably cut down your time by just simply losing mass. Just curious as I am also someone who would like to improve their running time and unwilling to sacrifice their gains. Just want to know what your overall intention is.
justin zhang i think Josh Bridges talks about it and Kara Saunders as well. It’s basically a chest freezer. You caulk the corners inside and fill ‘er up. We have ours on a timer so it only runs a couple hours a day.
I know you want to make it to Boston but you’ve been training at such high intensities for over a year now you may need a month or so break so you don’t burnout
Sirohi i’d encourage you to dedicate at least 3 months of no more than 20 miles a week (if not less) and a pace no faster than 9-10 min miles. It will take dedication to “hold back” and do that but you’ll be building the base and foundation you need to add on work later in the year. An appropriate goal will be to finish a marathon without stopping (from not running at all to running a marathon in a year). Save the Boston Qualifier and OTQ attempts for years 2 and 3 😉
My suggestion for you is to Learn proper running form ... trust me it's more complicated then you think ... watch videos on TH-cam ... and learn and be familiar with terminology such as Cadence ... because this will pay off and will help you avoid injury!
Hey, how would you train to get ready for the military, Air Force officer training school...my goal is to become a PJ...I'm a powerlifter...thanks in advance...
15:07 - lady in the background running by...”he just made my day”. 😆
madisonic0 Lmaooo
Damn I was about to comment the same thing😂😂
Lmao I didn't even notice that. Nick looking like a piece of Kobe beef out there 😂
He’ll yeah that would make my day too
He makes anybody day!😍
Use Strava for your runs
Don’t tell him what to do
Runkeeper is better
He has Garmin which is way better than Strava
Nick, just ran my first half marathon in 1:50 today! Thanks for all the inspo & knowledge. You’re the man ❤️

You should use more specificity with your resistance training. Understanding you want to decrease weight. Although it's a good opportunity for you to improve your running mechanics. For example, for your trunk exercises ("core"), you should incorporate more lumbopelvic control movements. These are really good for injury prevention and running mechanics. More applicable to running than hanging leg raises and GHD sit-ups. Just food for thought!
“Body weight” just 200 pounds on abs

Definitely been looking for a channel where a shirtless dude just kinda takes me through his day. Fuck yeah.
When you run in VaporFlys your cadence will go up by about 10, it's hard to describe how or why it happens but it just does.
Have you tried the 4%'s by any chance? ... I just bought a pair! ... what are your thoughts on them?
Love my vaporfly's. Great for fast pace but not for those slower recovery runs.
The zooms are the best!!
Finally picked up the VaporFlys!
Was waiting for that too!
Wait til he goes further with the Alphafly.
I just bought the 4%s!!! 185$ can't wait to try them out! Although they aren't designed for the 10k I'm gonna test them out in one in a few weeks!
K x I picked up my Alphaflys. Trying to get down from a 2:40 marathon to a 2:25-2:30.
Pick up the RP Endurance Book by Alex Harrison. Consider consuming way more carbs. In the book they discuss you can consume up to 144g carbs / hour. 1 GU an hour is simply not enough.

I have been thinking about running a marathon I would like to try to do that for 2020 that's one of my goals this year
My suggestion is to get really comfortable running 20- 30 miles per week prior to training ... and then max out at 40 mpw this volume will help you get through a marathon .... but if you're looking to run a really fast Marathon then you'll need 50 to 60 or even more miles as adequate volume ... also I would suggest that you find a really good training plan with structured workouts ... Hansons marathon method is a great book that could be used as a source as well as the Running Formula by DR Jack Daniels ... hope that info helps!
100 miler training starts this week 😩 we got this nick 💪🏻
Nick try the murph for body workouts
What podcast did you do in California?!? We all want to watch it
Hopefully joe rogan
Tk Ha that would be epic
When you have to time I'd love to see you collab with DemolitionRanch please!
The Change to 180 bpm is not that hard, it took me 1 week, and the playlist helped a lot...
The Nike vaporfly's are amazing shoes, but make sure you save them for your actual marathon! They are FAR from durable and can go flat anywhere from 150-200 miles. Also if you train in other shoes and throw those bad boys on for your marathon you'll feel so damn fast.
Born to run is a great book
chase spaulding i’m surprised he’s just now hearing about it. I guess he can still change his form and wear those nikes.
Do another timed one mile!!
Those shoes will blow your mind. The newest version has been announced, the "Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next%."
Looking shredded. Fairly new to the running deal. What’s the goal with a faster cadence? Does it improve foot strike or what? Thanks
Simply put ➡️ faster cadence (some where in the ballpark of 180 steps per minute) can ➡️ make you faster ➡️ make you more efficient over longer distances ➡️ and most importantly Prevent Injury .... proper cadence reinforces proper form where your foot is acting like a spring landing under your center of gravity
Great video. Don't the trainers come in any other colour than Pink ?
Hi Nick, how much muscle mass are you willing to sacrifice to improve your time? Are you purposefully trying to preserve as much mass as possible which is why your are still doing resistance training up to 5-6 times per week. Why not focus more on running and cut down resistance training to maybe 3 times per week? I feel like you can probably cut down your time by just simply losing mass. Just curious as I am also someone who would like to improve their running time and unwilling to sacrifice their gains. Just want to know what your overall intention is.
Nick, do you use Strava?
What happened to the Hokas? Thought those were your favorite.
More weekly milage, most of it at easy pace with some faster runs. edit - lose some muscle mass
The nike zooms i hate. doesnt fit my step pattern well. i love saucony and asics.
hope you got a narrow foot. they jacked up my feet, back to Hoka I went
josh otstot are they really that bad for wide feet? Just got a wide hoka clifton 6 and i realized I’ve been beating up my feet for years.
Just wonder if you have video of how to build the cryotherapy tank you use every morning ?
justin zhang i think Josh Bridges talks about it and Kara Saunders as well. It’s basically a chest freezer. You caulk the corners inside and fill ‘er up. We have ours on a timer so it only runs a couple hours a day.
Virginia George is u just sit inside the freezer ? And what temperature is for the optimum use but not getting it frozen
I know you want to make it to Boston but you’ve been training at such high intensities for over a year now you may need a month or so break so you don’t burnout
I agree ... 8 weeks after his last marathon is not enough time ... most people take 4 weeks just to recover from a marathon
Is there a video on how he made the ice bath?
In the UK its spray all day
Nick, what’s shoes your running in???
What would you recommend for someone that wants to start running marathon but can only really get 2ish miles in one set?
i really want to run a marathon this year ,im fit i lift weights but i dont run where should a beginner runner like me start from
Sirohi 5k
There a programs like couch to 5k which helps people just get time on there feet to get used to running
Sirohi i’d encourage you to dedicate at least 3 months of no more than 20 miles a week (if not less) and a pace no faster than 9-10 min miles. It will take dedication to “hold back” and do that but you’ll be building the base and foundation you need to add on work later in the year. An appropriate goal will be to finish a marathon without stopping (from not running at all to running a marathon in a year). Save the Boston Qualifier and OTQ attempts for years 2 and 3 😉
My suggestion for you is to Learn proper running form ... trust me it's more complicated then you think ... watch videos on TH-cam ... and learn and be familiar with terminology such as Cadence ... because this will pay off and will help you avoid injury!
Hey Nick, what sun glasses are those you wore in this vlog?
ROKA sunglasses
Hey, how would you train to get ready for the military, Air Force officer training school...my goal is to become a PJ...I'm a powerlifter...thanks in advance...
Check out ones ready. They have all the AFSOC knowledge
Amazing
16:14 did you say 6:15 mile pace for the 8 mile run?
