Nine years ago, at mile 19 of my 4th or 5th marathon I hit the wall hard. I struggled on to finish in about 4:30, but I remember at mile 19 thinking that my dream of breaking 4 hours in the marathon was literally impossible. Tomorrow I will tow the line at CIM, targeting a 3:15 and my first BQ at age 46. We are a capable of way more than we think is possible. Put in the work, trust the process, be amazed at what you can do. Thanks for the inspiration Nick.

Inspiring, I hit 4:30 on the dot my first as well and hit that same wall. My second I did even worse, but realize I need to take it way more seriously.

This has been your most impressive build yet. So much faster and easier than I’ve ever seen you do. I’m predicting sub 2:40 but there is no question you’re getting under 2:45

You predicted right! wow

"How someone does one thing is the way they do everything". I've been using that saying for many years. Stands up to scrutiny every time. Hits hard in this context. Let's gooooo!!!!

Got back into running and your content has been purely motivation to push myself. Tan a 5K today and met my goal of sub 9 minute mile splits. Did it in the rain. Man did I push myself and glad I did.

Good luck, Ive been following you the past 7 years and its insane to see your commitment. You got this

Love to hear how true this is!! Especially coming from someone who went through the grind and continues to grind. Bravo!

Greetings from South Africa! Your channel and your journey have been major contributors to my own journey. As I have looked to build up towards ultra marathons, and the future hope of competing in Iron Man, alongside bodybuilding, I have, and continue to draw major encouragement from what you do and in particular, your mindset. The world needs more athletes and humans like you. All the best for your sub 2:45 today. Go One More

Best of luck. I totally agree w8th everything you said. More people need to keep themselves accountable and have a goal in life. Go and smash that time. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

Good luck today Nick! You are a true inspiration! Thank you for all you do

I’m so excited for this! This series has inspired me to give up calling myself slow and stick sub 3 on the board for 2024! Good suffering tomorrow

Awesome vid! Been a pleasure witnessing this journey. Best of luck to you brother! Suffer well! 💪🏽

You motivated me to start running after 20 years of not running, Nick. I’m forever grateful you got me back on the road.

It’s so awesome and super motivating. Lots of information I’m psyching.😊😊😊

This video got us pumped up and ready to crush our next run! Thanks for the motivation!

LET’S GO!!! My first 50k today at 45… this was just what I needed this morning. Except…. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional 💪🏽

Awesome video, truly inspirational watch. Your film team did a hell of a job editing it. Good luck tomorrow

Been following the series, suffer well Nick. Let’s go.

Yup. I needed this!!!! I have a 40 mile trail race on Saturday. Thanks Nick and BPN team. Rock raccoon 2025 here I come. It’s going to be here before I know it.

Your way of training Nick made me pick up running during this past summer. Now I'm running my first marathon in Stockholm on June 1. You're an inspiration for sure!

Hey nick, could you share your spotify msusic list for running? Great video, gotta tell you when i run , while im suffering, i got you in my mind , i mean this videos, and help me keep pushing until the goal for that workout is achieved.

Good luck you got it!

Love this message and awesome content. While trying to fully recover from my eating disorder, I struggle with tracking calories on a OMAD diet, but as a runner tying to become more hybrid I really want to stop tracking and eat more frequently, as it is ruining my training and recovery. Do you have any tips on going from tracking to more Intuitive eating?

You inspire us bro...🇺🇲😎🙏💯🤙

Get it brooo!!!!

This video is a game-changer! It's not just about motivation; it's a blueprint for success. Time to take massive action and transform our lives. Who's in?

Awesome video, good luck! On a side note, where can inpurchase one of the, "if it's important to you" tees?

Best of luck Nick

Get ‘er done! 👊🏼🇺🇸

I had a very very experienced runner tell me the hay was in the barn about 3 weeks before my marathon and that I just needed to get to to the race without getting hurt and finish strong

What a legend

See I just ran my last run for the 4th week in my 0 to 5K program… now after watching this I want to run a 10K tomorrow 😂 good stuff Nick and good luck tomorrow!

Hi Nick! Congratulations for you great time sub 2:40!! Can you tell us in which heart rate zones did you run during the race?

Congrats on the 2:39 marathon, you're a champ

So serious. The hay is in the barn. The food is in the refrigerator. The coffee is in the cup. The clothes are in the closet. The rake and the lawnmower are in the toolshed. That is what is required to do your job.

Congrats on your sub 2:45 finish!!!

Great job on pacing and time. Sub 2:40!
