Hey Nick. I appreciate your videos. I am 52. Marathon PR 3:23 (BQ) at age 44. You are spot on about building aerobic base. A book by John L Parker called "Heart Rate Monitor Training for the Compleat (Misspelled on Purpose) Idiot" transformed my training back then . The key is truly going easy on your easy days, which allows you to really go hard on your hard days. The heart rate monitor forces you to go easy, and it does not lie. When you are getting sick, overtraining, dehydrated, etc., the heart rate monitor will reflect it, and keep you at a recovery pace. It was amazing how my recovery and tempo paces got faster and faster the more aerobic base I had. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Thanks.
Heck yeah, well you’re running now👍. Staying with it consistently, over time is all it really takes. Listen to your joints and be prepared to take it lighter sometimes to avoid in injury. Like Nick says, shoot for a pace where you can still hold a light conversation for at least 80% of your running. You’ll def burn some calories with this running. The most intense running isn’t pulling much fat for fuel, from my understanding.
Normal Army Veteran: *Leaves the Army* .. *Never runs again* Nick: *Leaves the Army* .. *Finishes an Ironman and trains for the most competitive marathon to run in*
It's one thing to run for your country and get paid for it, it's an entirely different mentality to run for yourself because you need to prove to yourself that you can. I found myself running more and more after I left the military and getting in better shape. Perhaps it's because it is MY decision to be greater than I was yesterday rather than being forced to do it. A big difference in incentive.
I was a 10:30 2 mile and sub 1hr 10 mile runner in the Army. Hated running! I only ran when I was made to. I was forced into any type of race where I “could” wear some t-shirt to represent my unit. I just retired after 29 years and now I run more then I ever did and enjoy it!
I just had a breakthrough run yesterday, what felt like the same effort ended up being 1 minute per mile faster! (8:45 for 8 miles, when I was usually 9:45+). Keep it up Nick you're always inspiring!
This guy is the most prime example of "genuine and real" as it can possible get. He's humble and genuine at heart and has no idea how to sell out and be fake for views. We are blessed to have this guy share such details on how ALL of us can improve on so many levels, not just him or his company. That itself says a lot.
I have officially finished all of 578 videos that nick bare has posted.. I’ve had found his channel over a year ago and subscribed but didn’t actually start watching his videos until around September. I’d watch his videos without the sound on at work either the captions on but now I just watch them in my dorm and I realized that he plays music that I LOVE. He also reminded how much I truly loved running. Two years ago before I joined the Air Force I ran everyday, and lifted on top of that. Seriously ran 12-20 miles everyday and seeing him do just that makes me so motivated. I stopped these past few months bc it’s gotten cold and bc of the time change but he’s taught me to “suck the f*ck up* and I’m starting to get back into it. He may never see, but nick TRULY changed my life. I also ordered his book and it comes in tomorrow (:
Been subscribed to you for a long time and you’ve inspired me to really take my training serious. I plan on starting with 5Ks and eventually work my way up to full marathons. You’re the GOAT
Wow, this is exactly what I needed to hear! Currently active duty and trying to improve my running a lot and I've been in such a rut thinking the exact same thought of "why am I not getting better". The Army doesn't do a good job with teaching you how to get better (particularly in fitness); they just expect you too. Yours is a fresh/new perspective on it that I am now going to incorporate for myself/my juniors.
Oh man this comes at the perfect timing for me. I just started an 80/20 program this week and it feels wrong going slower but I know the gains will show up over the duration of it. I have been training at way to high of a zone and neglecting the base zones.
13 years ago I quit running. Last year, for my health, i picked running up again. I started all over and very slowly increased. 8 months of base building aerobic work. Then I started adding speed one day a week. It has worked brilliantly. My goal is to run Grandmas Marathon in under four hours. Im just under 3 months away. Today i ran a pace run at 9 minute miles for seven miles. It was easy. Im running over 40 per week comfortably. All because i spent the time building a base. Love your videos.
Cole Pattison joe rogan doesn’t talk about much different lol. He’s always going on about training and discipline so I’d think it would be an interesting podcast cos they share interests
Cole Pattison Nick also has military experience, lived in a different country, and built an entire company. He has a lot more to talk about than just training.
Ran a 7 minute mile for the first time in years yesterday. Stopped making excuses about being to muscular and heavy after I found yours videos about 4 weeks ago. I’m down 10lbs in that time also. Now 224lbs. Tempo treadmill runs have helped me loads.
How many miles you ran at 7min pace? How long did it take you to get there with practice? Where did you start in weight wise? We're you always a runner? What's your age category?
Liviu M I run 3 x week (currently on a treadmill so I can keep a consistent pace), 1 x 20 min tempo run, 1 min rest at the 10 min mark, I increase speed each session. 1 x Intervals, 400m @ goal pace (6 min mile) with 90 sec rest (I did start with gerschler fartlek before hand though, google it for more info), and 1 x 45/60 min run, again, I increase speed each session but not too fast that I can’t finish it comfortably. I’m aiming to increase speed and distance each week. I’ve recently adapted my running technique and it has helped big time.
@@TheArtofme I'm going to be 56 in February, age makes a difference but I am determined to improve. Played soccer all my life, had an indoor team for over 20 years, 5'10" never past 173-174 until last 10 years during which I got to 235 😣 Got into running, cycling, gym, now within year and a half I'm down to 195-200 and WANT to improve my stamina, I want more 😉
Liviu M I’m mid 30s, naturally athletic but not gifted at endurance. I’ve been running for about 4-5 weeks now. That was a 1 mile test. I’m naturally fast at sprinting but suck at any distance. I built up good stamina about 10 years ago whilst training in the military but have been sat at a desk ever since. I have a decent amount of muscle mass (and fat...) which did hold me back mentally until I found Nick’s channel which destroyed all of my excuses not to improve at running whilst maintaining muscle. I started at 237lbs. My goals are to get to 210, visible abs at a sub 20min 3 mile and sub 9min 1.5 mile. I lift weights 2/3 x a week also to maintain strength/muscle. (Just started doing full body sessions to see how it goes)
I would think your biggest mistake when you started running was wearing a shirt cos all i've learned from your videos is that clearly a shirt slows you down, right?
the aerobic base part is so true. In just 3 weeks I've seen a difference. I always used to run 2 miles as fast as i could but i started doing 5k runs the last couple weeks (trying to build up to 10k runs) aiming around 8:45 per mile and just today i surpassed that with a 8 min per mile 5k run. The effort it took was slightly more and i mean slightly, but i felt more comfortable with my breathing and focus nonetheless due to getting that aerobic base down
It's also important to focus on that low HR training to build up your muscle/tendon/bone tolerance to running so you are injury free over the long-haul!
Hey nick! I’m a huge fan I’ve been watching since your triathlon. I live right by PCB! I just ran my first official half marathon trail run yesterday in 1:44:48. Thank you for all the motivation. I have no doubt you will have an excellent qt. Next step I’ve gotta get an ice bath for my garage! Lol good luck boss keep it up.
I think another thing a lot of people are afraid to do or don't like is to take walk breaks. No matter the speed/distance I am running, I always try to schedule in walk breaks..even if it's for 15-20 seconds. Maybe it is mental..but I swear I feel better during and after my runs and my time is often as good or better than if I didn't.
What you said about your book 100 percent! Learning about you first hand from some of the guys mobilized with me. They still talk about the impact that you have left. Now that I follow you it's made such an impact in my own fitness journey. The real deal man keep touching lives the world needs more of it.
Been watching your videos since you were stationed overseas. No idea why you dont have more subs. Crazy personal drive and a good person. Will buy your book for sure
This video helped hit it home for me. I spent too much time worrying about sprints and 60/120s and not going past 3.5 miles for my long runs. I learned to not approach running like lifting weights, where you should hit it hard when you do it. I took a slice of humble pie and started to incorporate longer slower runs while still incorporating speed work. The day after legs, I would do a light 3.5 Mile run at a 9 minute pace. I feel there is also a lot of overlap in running too. If I could run 2 miles in 14 minutes, 3 miles in say 23 minutes is easy.
See you in a little over 3 weeks Nick. You are the reason why I am going to Austin for the Marathon. This will be attempt number 18 for me to qualify for Boston (I am 35 years old so I get an extra 5 minutes :)). We just may do'er this time!
Build the base first at 12:00.......Very true...when you first attempt running just get comfortable running a comfortable pace for a few miles and go from there depending on what your goals are. If your a track runner, vs an ultra marathoner, different ball games, different training but they all do tempo, LSD's, Speed, hills etc training. Just the focus is on more of what their sport encompasses.
Haven’t ran I forever and did my first 7 mile run in 1 hour and 3 minutes at 8:50 pace never have I done this long run before ever I’m surprised I even rain that far and didn’t stop , thanks for inspiring me time to get godly speed fast
"and coming from a background of running where it was just for the military and there wasn't much strategic programing in place to get better"...this is absolutely correct. The military runs you to the dirt without addressing the science behind running. I'm a better runner now than when I was in the military.
Nick congrats on the success of both running your own business and all of your athletic successes. I feel like a Nick Bare/David Goggins episode is in order. You guys seem like you would be on the same page.
glad i came accross your channel...was an AthleneX fan before your channel... incorporating the health benefits of outdoor running is a no brainer....Too many gym people think that running will eat away their muscle....you seem very humble...I think the message you were trying to get accross concerning your book was that you already have money a thriving lucrative business and you dont need to make money from a book...KUDOS!!!
I absolutely love your new and even old videos. Helping me for preparation with a Spartan Race in January and I'm knowing and wanting to carry that momentum to more and more.
Been binge watching your videos. You are an inspiration brother. Keep up the solid work! Wanted to ask if it’s possible you do a video that touches base on your different moments in life where you have leveled up and what thoughts you had when you decided to take that next step up. Also what stresses and challenges you had to overcome and cope with because I’m sure running the nutrition business ain’t easy as well as all balancing life? Hope that makes sense.
I just stumbled into your old LT videos because I'm planning on commissioning after 7 years enlisted. I knew you were familiar and now I know why. I used to watch your run videos a long time ago after you explained the vapor fly controversy lol
Cross training for a triathlon helps to build aerobic base, cycling and swimming also help. Those 4-5 hours zone 2 long rides are longer than any runs, I finished my first marathon comfortably with my longest run being a half marathon beforehand 👍
10:13 thank you so much for this. This is exactly what I'm struggeling with!! Now hearing you say exactly that, motivates me to find the correct training to improve my running!
I think my biggest mistake is neglecting my protein intake!! Such a school girl error!!!! Been suffering from so many injuries, and I think I cracked it!? Love your vids xx
First month of training i would highly suggest keeping 20 minute jogs as your goal to build up your tendon strength and shin and ankles and knees. Increasing mileage too quickly seems to be the way to get hurt and or discouraged with how hard it is at first to break 30 minutes
Dude... DUDE. 14:22... THAT SHIT HIT ME DIFFERENT!! Being stationed at hood right now I 120% felt that. People in my unit look at me like I'm bat shit crazy cause I try to stay motivated 😂😂😂😂😂, that shit will never change. There is so much potential in the military but service members choose to be standard or sub standard instead of choosing greatness.
The best advice anyone ever gave me: RUN SLOWER. Worry about times, worry about speed when your comfortably meeting and exceeding the distance. Jog should be comfortable before running, running should be comfortable before timing and speed
Exactly! I was among new beginners who started running at 3rd and even 4rd zone, supposed to think I'm progressing fast. But, over the time came into conclusion that low rate training is actually effective training too!
In your podcast you mentioned you run 6 days a week and lift 3-4 days max to maintain muscle mass but you dont train legs as much. When you lift are you doing high reps high sets for endurance as well?? Can you explain that a little more for me!
I was invited to play golf once. First time i ever played. We walked (about 8 miles). When we finished and I got home, I was so exhausted I fell right to sleep. I slept 12 hrs straight (normaly sleep 7)and didn't even wake to use the restroom. That's when I started working on my endurance.
One advice relevant whit your title is to relay our efficiency on building aerobic basics before we dive into More advanced strategies of running. For peoples which don’t have 20 minutes :)
I know where he's coming from.. and I personally agree. I do progressive overload type of training with running, and here and there I will do a lot of miles and 1-2 times a week I will do speed training whether its sprints or a fast 5k. But honestly, even if you were to do what he said he initially did, which is to run 4-5 miles and go as hard as possible each run, technically you're still going to get better. I know because I've been there. It's just that it's a frustrating and grueling way of doing things, and each run seems like it's a struggle. It's not the smartest running training but it still works. Your body eventually acclimates and your speed on those 4-5 miles will become better or you will become less tired. Either way you get better.
For me, I did A LOT of full body calisthenics, then runs at long distances, but at a slower pace...maybe like 9-10 min mile pace, then do high intensity runs like 30-60s then 60-120s (sprint as fast as you possibly can for 30/60 seconds then walk for 60/120 seconds). Doing all that helped me. Don’t skimp on those 60-120s that’s how you get better
Do you always hop off the treadmill when you do the breaks between intervals? I always take my breaks at my easy run pace. So today I had interval training, I did a 5K (3.1 miles) at easy pace, then went into my first interval at VO2max for .25m, then .25m for easy pace and repeat 8 times which is basically 8 sets of 400 meters. then I do a cool down run. Altogether 7.3ish miles. But I never stop moving the whole time.
@John Dillinger After some research I found there are two different techniques to intervals. An interval run with a pure rest period or an interval run with an easy pace jog (there are some online calculators for getting your paces). The intervals with pure rests are good for building up short distance speeds. The intervals with jog rests are good for building up speed and endurance for longer distance runs. When you start our its good to have equal intervals and rests. I do .25 mile (400meter) run at my near my top speed with .25 jog at my easy pace and do do that 8 times. I'm starting to transition into .50 mile intervals with .50 mile rests and when I can do that "comfortably". I'll cut the rests in half. But honestly it's fun to mix it all up and race wise where terrain is always changing it's good to keep your body conditioned to adapt to change.
And my experience was just like yours. I did Augusta 70.3 in September and ran the marathon in Memphis in December. The big aerobic base that I had from my Ironman training really helped me with my tempo runs, mile repeats, and intervals in the 2 months leading up to my marathon.
You somehow get to inspire me even though i'm a bit older. Thanks for helping me and others. If you are going to make your gym space 4 times bigger, have you considered opening it to your current or potential customers? Kind of like a put a table with sample products and as people come to use the gym they might end up increasing your sales? You could also start giving classes. Sure it might end up being a lot of work but you could delegate this and document stuff on TH-cam. You could do it one day per month or quarter. Also, how about organizing a yearly 5k run?
Listen man you are an absolute unit! I’m active duty right now and I’m 5’9” and I don’t run or lift i weigh like 135-140pds and I wanna know where do I start to become a great runner and get bigger like you!? Love you man thanks again
Love your content bro your a huge inspiration and your success and motivation feeds onto us and makes us all wanna go one more! Keep up the good work bro! Also blueberry muffin protein is the best!
Same (kinda) applies to rowing (or erging). I've witnessed it first hand when I begun to do more steady state and less speed work: my 1000m went down and I improved consistently.

My best running pace is 13 min per mile. Although I weigh 255 pounds. I'm trying to lose weight to get faster🥴
Yeah keep going progress is slow but worth it

Drew Becza 1 minute per mile? Holy fuck dude. How long have you been running for? I do a mile in about 8 minutes 😂
Chris Miramontes can u read man? he said one minute per mile difference
Chris Miramontes that’s 60 mile/hr lol
Chris Miramontes you’re funy
Grats.. that's gotta be a great feeling!!
The biggest thing I have found during tempo runs is to focus on my legs and how the pain changes over time - kind of like meditation!
Running is really meditation itself that’s why you feel so at peace afterwards and your also building mental fortitude 💪🏾

How do you do that? Is its just like low impact stuff like walking and biking etc?
What worked for me is to subtract my age from 180. Then try to keep your running pace at that hr
Helped me lower my resting heart rate by quite a bit

I appreciate your drive to inspire people. Obviously, you have been blessed genetically.
Blessed genetically for sure, but to be honest I am not 100% convinced that there are no steroids involved.
I honestly love this guys content. Great tips and the guy is committed.
Nick is soo humble just a normal person but super talented!
See you in a little over 3 weeks Nick. You are the reason why I am going to Austin for the Marathon. This will be attempt number 18 for me to qualify for Boston (I am 35 years old so I get an extra 5 minutes :)). We just may do'er this time!
I am from Prince Edward Island, Canada by the way.
Andrew Bryenton, Man you are gooood man, Boston Qual is badass
Good luck, hope you make it this time!!
Build the base first at 12:00.......Very true...when you first attempt running just get comfortable running a comfortable pace for a few miles and go from there depending on what your goals are. If your a track runner, vs an ultra marathoner, different ball games, different training but they all do tempo, LSD's, Speed, hills etc training. Just the focus is on more of what their sport encompasses.
Haven’t ran I forever and did my first 7 mile run in 1 hour and 3 minutes at 8:50 pace never have I done this long run before ever I’m surprised I even rain that far and didn’t stop , thanks for inspiring me time to get godly speed fast
"and coming from a background of running where it was just for the military and there wasn't much strategic programing in place to get better"...this is absolutely correct. The military runs you to the dirt without addressing the science behind running. I'm a better runner now than when I was in the military.
This is information you’re supposed to pay for. This is Gold, thank you so much brother.
Nick congrats on the success of both running your own business and all of your athletic successes. I feel like a Nick Bare/David Goggins episode is in order. You guys seem like you would be on the same page.

Luke Cheney and I’m jealous of it 😂
glad i came accross your channel...was an AthleneX fan before your channel... incorporating the health benefits of outdoor running is a no brainer....Too many gym people think that running will eat away their muscle....you seem very humble...I think the message you were trying to get accross concerning your book was that you already have money a thriving lucrative business and you dont need to make money from a book...KUDOS!!!
Man I paused the video to order your book on Amazon. Get my copy on Sunday. You really have a lot figured out man. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely love your new and even old videos. Helping me for preparation with a Spartan Race in January and I'm knowing and wanting to carry that momentum to more and more.
This is true, absolutely foundational distance running- build base first with easy running, expanding the mileage, add quality workouts later
Totally agree. Also helps avoid stress fractures.
Been binge watching your videos. You are an inspiration brother. Keep up the solid work! Wanted to ask if it’s possible you do a video that touches base on your different moments in life where you have leveled up and what thoughts you had when you decided to take that next step up. Also what stresses and challenges
you had to overcome and cope with because I’m sure running the nutrition business ain’t easy as well as all balancing life? Hope that makes sense.
Talk more about how you prioritize and stay organized when your juggling so many projects.
I just stumbled into your old LT videos because I'm planning on commissioning after 7 years enlisted. I knew you were familiar and now I know why. I used to watch your run videos a long time ago after you explained the vapor fly controversy lol
Thank you. This really helped with my injury to get back at it!
Cross training for a triathlon helps to build aerobic base, cycling and swimming also help. Those 4-5 hours zone 2 long rides are longer than any runs, I finished my first marathon comfortably with my longest run being a half marathon beforehand 👍
I've been binging your videos. It's cool to see you accomplishing your goals. Keep it up and good luck!
10:13 thank you so much for this. This is exactly what I'm struggeling with!! Now hearing you say exactly that, motivates me to find the correct training to improve my running!
What a life you live. Good for you for working hard and seeing the benefits.
Answer is Focus on building Aerobic system and then do the tempos , thershold etc ..
Just placed my Preorder man, support you in any way I can.
I think my biggest mistake is neglecting my protein intake!! Such a school girl error!!!! Been suffering from so many injuries, and I think I cracked it!? Love your vids xx
First month of training i would highly suggest keeping 20 minute jogs as your goal to build up your tendon strength and shin and ankles and knees. Increasing mileage too quickly seems to be the way to get hurt and or discouraged with how hard it is at first to break 30 minutes
For the guys that click on this video for the title, the information you want is a 8:30 min, prior of that is not important
Thank you
During my runs I like to think about funny videos and memes. They make me smile while I embrace the suck
You should do a video of you getting your VO2 max tested in a laboratory. That would be super cool.
Best running advice I have received is if you want to go fast you have to go slow. In line with your first tip as well.
Great advice on base building mate, see so many people smashing out all their runs at the same pace with next to no difference year in, year out
I love your channel bro you seriously inspire me in so many aspects
Nick always pumping me up bro, keep up the work man.
You motivate me everyday man! Thank you so much 🤘🏾
fartlek and hills are my favorite workouts especially that feeling when your done
"Your never done" - David Goggins
Antonio Salas you’re***
That tip of starting out by building my aerobic base will help a lot. Thanks Nick
Dude... DUDE. 14:22... THAT SHIT HIT ME DIFFERENT!! Being stationed at hood right now I 120% felt that. People in my unit look at me like I'm bat shit crazy cause I try to stay motivated 😂😂😂😂😂, that shit will never change. There is so much potential in the military but service members choose to be standard or sub standard instead of choosing greatness.
This is money. Found @nickbare on Instagram months ago and have learned so much since!
The best advice anyone ever gave me: RUN SLOWER. Worry about times, worry about speed when your comfortably meeting and exceeding the distance. Jog should be comfortable before running, running should be comfortable before timing and speed
You should try the Wim Hof Method, highly recommended!!
Exactly! I was among new beginners who started running at 3rd and even 4rd zone, supposed to think I'm progressing fast. But, over the time came into conclusion that low rate training is actually effective training too!
In your podcast you mentioned you run 6 days a week and lift 3-4 days max to maintain muscle mass but you dont train legs as much. When you lift are you doing high reps high sets for endurance as well?? Can you explain that a little more for me!
Build the base first. Good tip. I have run 3 half marathons in my 30’s. I’m in my early 40’s now and the dream is definitely a full marathon!!
The best advice ... u the man Nick ... love your vids .... really motivated me 2 take up running again ... on top of that u make it look cool lol
I was invited to play golf once. First time i ever played. We walked (about 8 miles). When we finished and I got home, I was so exhausted I fell right to sleep. I slept 12 hrs straight (normaly sleep 7)and didn't even wake to use the restroom. That's when I started working on my endurance.
One advice relevant whit your title is to relay our efficiency on building aerobic basics before we dive into More advanced strategies of running. For peoples which don’t have 20 minutes :)
Can’t wait to get my hands on the book once it launches🙌
Absolutely right thinking about the time kills times. Focus on breathing and rhythm and you'll kill it
I know where he's coming from.. and I personally agree. I do progressive overload type of training with running, and here and there I will do a lot of miles and 1-2 times a week I will do speed training whether its sprints or a fast 5k.
But honestly, even if you were to do what he said he initially did, which is to run 4-5 miles and go as hard as possible each run, technically you're still going to get better. I know because I've been there. It's just that it's a frustrating and grueling way of doing things, and each run seems like it's a struggle. It's not the smartest running training but it still works. Your body eventually acclimates and your speed on those 4-5 miles will become better or you will become less tired. Either way you get better.
This is perfect advice. Thank you!
First video I’ve ever watched and I liked it ✅ needed some tips on my running
I see the subtle 89 octane flex
For me, I did A LOT of full body calisthenics, then runs at long distances, but at a slower pace...maybe like 9-10 min mile pace, then do high intensity runs like 30-60s then 60-120s (sprint as fast as you possibly can for 30/60 seconds then walk for 60/120 seconds). Doing all that helped me. Don’t skimp on those 60-120s that’s how you get better
I'm a big fan of doing 5-10 sets of 30-30s, then doing a quarter/half mile run, and then repeating about four more times.
Do you always hop off the treadmill when you do the breaks between intervals? I always take my breaks at my easy run pace. So today I had interval training, I did a 5K (3.1 miles) at easy pace, then went into my first interval at VO2max for .25m, then .25m for easy pace and repeat 8 times which is basically 8 sets of 400 meters. then I do a cool down run. Altogether 7.3ish miles. But I never stop moving the whole time.
Steven Fernandes you are doing it right my friend
@John Dillinger After some research I found there are two different techniques to intervals. An interval run with a pure rest period or an interval run with an easy pace jog (there are some online calculators for getting your paces). The intervals with pure rests are good for building up short distance speeds. The intervals with jog rests are good for building up speed and endurance for longer distance runs. When you start our its good to have equal intervals and rests. I do .25 mile (400meter) run at my near my top speed with .25 jog at my easy pace and do do that 8 times. I'm starting to transition into .50 mile intervals with .50 mile rests and when I can do that "comfortably". I'll cut the rests in half. But honestly it's fun to mix it all up and race wise where terrain is always changing it's good to keep your body conditioned to adapt to change.
And my experience was just like yours. I did Augusta 70.3 in September and ran the marathon in Memphis in December. The big aerobic base that I had from my Ironman training really helped me with my tempo runs, mile repeats, and intervals in the 2 months leading up to my marathon.
Check out Daniels,running formula if you're interested in everything behind running (science, how to make a training plan, speed work, etc)
it would be epic if you did a video on balancing endurance work with explosive goals (jumping/lifting). i've been curious about that for years!
Keep putting these great videos man
Quit smoking after 7 1/2 years of it and started running got a 9 minute mile last week I’m 220 only been running for 2 months
You somehow get to inspire me even though i'm a bit older. Thanks for helping me and others.
If you are going to make your gym space 4 times bigger, have you considered opening it to your current or potential customers? Kind of like a put a table with sample products and as people come to use the gym they might end up increasing your sales? You could also start giving classes. Sure it might end up being a lot of work but you could delegate this and document stuff on TH-cam. You could do it one day per month or quarter. Also, how about organizing a yearly 5k run?
Listen man you are an absolute unit! I’m active duty right now and I’m 5’9” and I don’t run or lift i weigh like 135-140pds and I wanna know where do I start to become a great runner and get bigger like you!?
Love you man thanks again
You are such an inspiring person🙏🏼keep going🤘🏽
Love your content bro your a huge inspiration and your success and motivation feeds onto us and makes us all wanna go one more! Keep up the good work bro! Also blueberry muffin protein is the best!
Same (kinda) applies to rowing (or erging). I've witnessed it first hand when I begun to do more steady state and less speed work: my 1000m went down and I improved consistently.
Jack Daniels Running Formula is the best book for casual running and training for races from 800m to marathons.
Running talk is at 8:57 you’re welcome
Great video. Came here for tips on running and got bonus tips on writing books and business.
huge help my man, didnt know that was my question but you gave me the answer i was looking for 10:00
I'd love to hear more about your recovery routine, Nick.
