Watching your journey to this marathon has inspired me to run my first 10 mile, work my way to a half marathon, and a marathon. Keep pushing and doing great things, Sir!

Its crazy to see how much you've grown since I first started watching you videos. The sky is the limit. Keep the great content coming!

Yes! Finally got Cam Hanes and Nick together.

Thanks Nick, been following along this marathon prep as I’m doing my first one also on the same day may 29th. Near Adelaide in Australia. Thanks for inspiring so many people to be better in all aspects of their life. Go one more let’s go!! Wish you all the best for your race 🤟🏼

Appreciate your prep vids Nick. I've got a 10mi race in Aug I'm training for. I'm excited to see where the journey of running takes me afterwards. Keep BPN clean & built for all of us athletes because we love it!

Loved seeing Cam on here! Hope you got a great pod out of it as well! Love that dude! I'll be starting his book "Endure" this week!

Hey Nick You’ve inspired me to run my first marathon I signed up for the Des Moines IMT in October and I did a half about a month ago and came in at 1hr 52!:)

Hoping to hit sub 2:50 at the Utah Valley Marathon on June 4th. Here we go!! UPDATE: Qualified for Boston! Watching Nick Bare the night before might have helped haha

Awesome to see you and Cam together! I'd been hoping for that for a while! Based on the fact that a lot of your tempo work has actually been run a bit faster than you had targeted, I'm betting we'll see a 2:40 or 2:45 finish maybe? Excited to see the results!

Nick how are you not at 1 million subs yet. Your content is like no other. I’ve watched your videos since before your deployment

You are THE BEST!! Keep Going

Hell yes!!!!!!! Been wanting this video

You r amazing just because of u I am able to manage running + gym

So stoked for a store here in austin!

You’re the man nick

Think a “go one more and keep hammering“ cap collab should be in your plans!!! 🏃‍♂️🔨

You are looking so lean and fit with all this high level marathon training

Cam’s the man

Great video! I’m in the middle of my taper as well for my first half marathon this Saturday, cool to watch your journey as I go through mine. Good luck in Buffalo!

Nic and Cam👊🏻🇺🇸Awesome episode!

you couldn't have posted this in the most perfect time, i got full marathon coming up in 2 weeks thank you for this, its so weird since i have been doing alot of triathlon training which goes against what i should really be doing which is marathon training haha

Keep Hammering Nick!

Incredible pace nice job

Love the analogy with the hay in the barn!

It's insane to me that someone of Nick's size could run a sub 3 marathon, pure savage.

Haven’t even finished the video and already know it will be a good one 💪

What a great journey! Brazil is rooting for you, man!

I’m very excited for the store front. I’ll be there for the opening

Great videos Nick! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Are you still strength training during taper? Do you reduce it or completely remove it?

Wow this guy is pushing tough pace ! Unreal running 🤙🏃😃

Nice vid Nick! Think you'll definitely get that sub 2.50. I'm going for sub 3 hours on Sunday at the Edinburgh marathon. Had a slight shin niggle last week so resting up a bit more on the taper.. Got a 1.24 in half marathon 2 months ago so feeling reasonably confident..

Had an encounter with Runners Knee on my last 30k (2 weeks ago). I still feel a little tightness in the knee. My marathon is next Sunday. Going in cold on that 3-week no-run taper. Wish me luck!

Great video - the only other thing I like to add to my taper is the mental aspect. Use that time stretching and doing yoga poses mentally going through the race. Visualizing different pain or challenge points and how you are going to keep you mind on track etc. I find that goes a long way come race day. I like to start right from the time I wake up race morning. Visualize getting ready, walking to the start line, the gun going off, the first 5K etc. I walk though it from start to finish over and over and over so when the day comes it's just automatic from the moment I wake up.

Awesome!

The last house/space you showed is the winner, So Sick dude!

Take it easy on your joints. Knee replacements are painful and expensive. Backpack runs are the reason a lot of military guys have serious joint issues later in life.

Circling back to the BPN flagship store concept… we need it!

Yo nick your vids have been awesome. I'll be running the buffalo marathon with a few buddies rocking the bpn gear. Do you know where the 2 mile "shake out" run will be? It would be cool to have an opportunity to do that with the bpn crew.

Thanks again for great content, Nick! A suggestion/request; would you consider including an additional graphic in your videos that shows your running pace in both miles and kilometres? The other half of the world operates on pace per kilometre, not miles. I spend a lot of time pausing your videos and converting your pace into kilometres so that it makes sense to me. I'm sure I'm not alone with this. Thanks again for your great content 👍

11:57 dayum that shirt looks so dope

Good luck on your race. You have worked so hard for that time goal. Hopefully you have good weather and have the race of your life. Can we follow you during the race? Not sure if youre putting out that info. Dan

Nick it would be awesome if you created a bare half and full marathon training program. I would definitely drop $$ on that!!

Hey Nick, you detailed your running volume/intensity taper before the race but how does your strength training also taper. As an athlete trying to balance both running and strength fitness on a taper before the Old Dominion 100 mile ultra in 2 weeks your insight would be appreciated

Hey Nick i just ran a 3:05 marathon and im trying to get ready for the Boulder 70.3 Ironman. Any advice on swimming temp control or distance training intervals? Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.

A BPN community house is a great idea!!!!

Hey Nick, what does your gym workouts look like during your 2 weeks out from race day?

YEAAAH! 👍❤️‍🔥💕

Oh my god bro with cameron hanes old school dawn athlete

Im missing being able to cruise at around 6min/mile pace. i got caught in an inside heel hook in jiu jitsu and it tore up my knee bad. cant wait to get back to those times

Cam, sick

Go one more!

His pace is insane

Good info at the start. thank you. It's just difficult to watch because the camera is so shaky. I couldn't make it though.

thx

💪🏼 hope to see you in Buffalo

Nick - Curious on why do you run on the right side of the road? I always learned it was safer to run on the left side so that you can see oncoming traffic..

Interesting. A lot of professional athletes would taper by reducing volume but keeping the intensity. So the ratio what would go from say 80:20 (low intensity: high intensity) to closer 60:40. Where the overall kms are reduced but your still doing pace sessions (all be it closer to goal pace and less reps) This results in recovering the body for the race while having the added advantage of dialling in your running pace.

@WestieRunner

This is exactly what I thought when I watched this: Every single book I've read on marathon training (e.g. Jack Daniels, P&D) suggests that overall volume is reduced but some intensity is kept, albeit at a proportionally lower volume. I've followed this approach myself when I self-coached, and now that I have a coach he has programmed the same approach for each of the 3 marathons (and 2 ultras) he has coached me for. PS - When his plan for the taper shows up at 11:38 he's still got one quality session in there per week, so what he's saying to camera isn't quite right.

A lot also use an Alter G keeping the speed without the damage .

You should hit sub 2:50 for sure, you’re noticeably slimmer now than before, it’s going to be easier to hold a faster pace with less weight, you got this man!

Great video I just feel I would understand more if you told us why the word "taper " is used. Sorry dumb question but is it supposed to be like a measuring tape ?

Could you make a video about what music you listen too and share your playlist

After running road and trails, which do you prefer? I'm def more of a trail guy but enjoy the speed of road...

Badass!

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Nick bare: I remember … Lol love you Nick! Good luck on your marathon

Nick we need to do a podcast together!

Wheres the cam podcasts, having trouble finding it.

I"m waiting for the BPN candle in scent "Inside of a Cowboy Boot"

take a breath and Tapper away. GO NICK!

Nick & team- A thought. You could give a public gym another go? That could have a bigger footprint as it would be a somewhat profitable enterprise. That could also be a flagship facility and have a whole room for product. Consider it maybe?

Tips for dealing with blisters and soreness?

How tall is Nick?Cameron looked like a kid beside him.Google says he is 5'10" but i dont he is that.

Every workout is the last fast workout 🤣🤣 good grind

Currently 7:53AM in Buffalo. The race stared 1hr 23min ago. Does anyone know what distance Nick is at? He needs to have reached half distance if he wants to achieve his goal.

Do you also taper strength training during this time?

Perhaps you could talk about why one would carb load? With gels and quick carbs available nowadays vs 30 years ago, carving up should not make much sense. Especially when one gains a few pounds, making you slower. 1kg of body weight added can make quite a difference… Thoughts, Nick?

Should have started the thumbnail with the Cam Hanes part because it go cut off in the title description on my recommended page! Marketing Genius if I do say so myself.

Anybody know what brand of T Nick is wearing when he’s talking about the taper? Grey shirt at 7:30

Hi Nick, Do you still use the Freezer for ice baths?

If you’re planning a flagship in Chicago . Please put out some news and job opportunities 💪🏽

Nick please come to Florida so I can work for you 😢😢😢

Is the length of the taper adjusted accordingly to the length of the race? I.E. would a half marathon require a one week taper?

@Kwildcat13

The taper is really the person . Some people don’t taper much and do fine some take a few days rest prior to race .. it widely varies and if your new you will learn what works for you is different then the next guy . I can race every week and just back off my pace .. but if I really want to PR I will rest more the 2 weeks prior to a full marathon and a few days prior to a half .. ironman is a whole different demon for the taper ..

Can you also write the time for km. I am from Germany

What's your favorite track work out??

Just wondering if anyone can tell me why a lot of runners run with their watch arm a little higher? Is this a balance thing? Also Nick looks a lot better shredded, rather than the Incredible Hulk running that 100miler a while ago..IMO.

Volume is down for your taper BUT 8x800 at race pace in the last week is maintaining intensity. You gotta stay sharp. I'll say this again, you gotta love your dedication to the sport. I'm learning a lot. Also, I'd love to see you kill some 5K's. I think you could run 3.1 miles at 5:30 pace or faster! PS: You're looking mean and lean. Shedding those five pounds makes a difference. You got sub-2:50 in the bag.

Post your gear schedule
