Nico, this brought me to tears. This outcome is far more inspiring than if you would have perfectly hit your goal. You don’t inspire us with numbers - you inspire us with your faith, perseverance, and commitment. This only makes me want to continue following your journey. We don’t resonate with a number; we resonate with your character.

I share the same feeling . As I’m training for my first half marathon this channel has helped me to get over my quitting pattern and push forward to my goals.

This quaility of these videos are just getting higher and higher and I'm here for it.

If you achieve your goals every race, you’re not setting the bar high enough. Nothing to be upset about. Great work!

Ayyy that’s me in the orange tank top and white arm sleeves @ 17:15!!

Nico, I hope you read this. Your video brought me to tears. I’ve been watching your vids and training for my first 5k. I’m a 34 year old dad, born n raised in AZ. Now in Ohio, my first 5k run was also April 28th. The diehard 5k here in Springfield Ohio. I placed 4th in my division. Now I’m training for a 10k in July. You inspire me, young man! I believe in you Nico, thanks for helping me believe in myself. Sincerely, Gilly ❤

Everything about the prep, running, and aftermath of a marathon is a metaphor for life. Good job, son.

Felt the emotions you displayed in this video in my core. Rock on, Nico, you are amazing

I’ve been following your channel for a while now and it inspired me to run my first marathon last weekend in Cincy at the Flying Pig. My goal was a 3:30 and I was on pace to hit it until I cramped unlike anything before in my life at mile 22. It was so emotionally draining to go from euphoria to devastation in a split second, knowing the training and months of preparation wouldn’t be rewarded with the time I was hoping for. Bottom line, I finished race, as did you. It’s just a number after all. It pails in comparison to the lessons that running teaches us, and you relay these lessons in such a compelling way. Your content is beyond inspiring, and I thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. Best to you and take some time rest.

The pig is no joke brother. I was out there grinding with you. The humidity was horrible at the end. Go up to columbus in the fall and you’ll see an insane difference.

Wow as I was reading your post I thought to myself wow did I write this!! Had the same exact goal and also at mile 22 left quad cramped up so hard. I finished but had to walk run in completely fell apart 😢. Everything else felt good and 16:57 strong that leg cramp folded me.

As a 34 year old mom who just started running, I really loved this. Seeing an elite runner who also has to face the mental battles of running was really encouraging to me. Even the way you talk about some runs being easy and free and others being a battle was so helpful. You’re an inspiring young man, and I wish you all the best!

A truly visceral account of a goal in pursuit. Storytelling is a gift, and you have it. Thank you for the honesty and clarity.

Thanks for the feature at 22:43. Means a lot to have captured that interaction at the finish! You truly motivated me to go from a mediocre 3:49er to 2:58, and the sky feels like the limit now.

I was one of the volunteers who set up the Eugene marathon and saw you running. I saw the perseverance and motivation. I was debating whether or not I should run it next year and you've cemented it for me. Thank you!

Such an incredible feeling to be finally watching the race vid! After having followed along both this prep and the previous, the progression is just so unbelievable to see. It was an incredible effort, and an honor to be improving in my own running alongside you, watching these amazing videos. Please keep doing more, they honestly always make my day, and motivate me beyond belief! 😊🙏

Nico, I appreciate your transparency in your videos! From someone that battles anxiety on a daily I struggle to show my emotions and seeing how real you are with how you feel in the lowest moments reassures me that I’m not alone in this fight. Love your videos man, and congrats on your marathon! Keep fighting, you will reach 2:50 very soon! 🏃🏽‍♂️

Nico you are one hell of a runner and what you did in that race is nothing short of incredible. Even tho you came up short of your goal you still hit a PR by a bunch. And the great thing about pr’ing is that you just did something you have never done before. So be proud of that and proud of the fact that you battled yourself to finish that race. Ik for sure you’ll break that 2:50 barrier next marathon.

You are easily one of if not the most inspiring people I have ever watched on KZread. Super proud of you and your efforts man, it felt awesome to follow along this journey through your videos

“A little more persistence, a little more effort and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success”. Running has changed my life and watching your videos gives me hope to better myself to become a better runner and person

This was such an emotional yet beautiful one to watch. I recently started running and I know the feeling of wanting to give up but not stopping till the finish line. You're a huge inspiration Nico

Iv'e been following you for a while now and the work you put into everything from your workouts to your videos is inspiring. After watching you run Chicago, I signed up for my own first marathon in Madrid on the same day you ran Eugene. As tough as it was, watching videos like this really gives me that fire and belief to go out an tackle my goals again...THANK YOU and Congrats again on an amazing race!

One of the most real and inspiring race videos! So important to see all sides of prep and an event, especially when it doesn’t go to plan, and you are inspiring so many to run! Thanks for being you!

You know that sub 2:50 is just on the corner man, it's gonne be legendary bro Did amazing, another step to the top💪

didn’t take nico very seriously when i saw him on the internet at first, but since then he has quickly not only became my favorite content creator, but a role model for me. as a varsity high school runner it’s hard to push forward sometimes and it’s hard to keep going, but nico has shown me not only that it’s possible but that the results WILL show. so thanks nico, seriously

You are my favorite bpn athlete. I really admire the raw thoughts & emotions you put into your videos. Truly inspiring. I’m currently training for my first half marathon in June. Your videos help me remember not every run is sunshine and rainbows. But what’s important is to give it the best you have in those moments regardless. Keep up the great work and keep working hard. You will reach your goals with faith and patience 🙏🏽

Thank you for actually showing the reality of running and racing. Everything isn’t sunshine and rainbows and most people don’t see the nerves and struggles you go through before.

I completely understand the nervous feeling, but what I realized is that once you start thinking about the pain of a race, you have to just stop thinking, no matter what, because if you think too much about the pain then the race is over before it even begins and you will have no mental drive

You're a huge hero, Nico. You inspire thousands of people to start running and to always push forward towards your goals. Once I heard one phrase: "You can be strong from the neck down, only if you're strong from the neck up". And you validate this phrase completely. You're a big example of passion, consistency, hard and smart work and, of course, mental toughness. I'm personally from Russia and you're one of the very first runners, who's inspired me to run more, pay close attention to recovery and nutrition. Honestly, everything you does, achieves in your life means a ton for me. The last thing I wanna say is I'd like to see you achieving more, more and more in your life and getting better every single day. My congratulations. Further more.

Just one of the most stunning, moving, inspiring videos. Watching Sophie hug you at the end is what got me fully crying!! So sweet. We are so proud to watch you here too. Bless you for sharing your heart and passion with us - I am so touched I get to follow along and remind myself of these big moments to come on my 5ks 🥰 Thank you 🙏

So insane. The amount of work you put in is phenomenal. Congratulations on running the marathon, you earned it! You’ve got so many awesome things ahead of you.

You are so incredibly inspirational Nico. Every time I don’t feel like running I watch your videos and within minutes I’m ready to go. THANK YOU!

Nico You’re effort and drive for running is far beyond the personal goals you set, but for the incredible inspiration you give to others in their running journey.

I've been checking obsessively for this one! Your videos have just become next level. Your honesty in all your videos (from drinking coffee to 💩 pre run to being afraid of "failure" and posting your emotions at the finish line) is so so inspiring. I was a long distance runner in high school and university and struggled with eating disorders and have associated racing with that period of my life ever since so I havent done a race in over a decade. Inspired by you and your videos I'm running my first race next weekend in probably 15 years. I look forward to following along in whatever is next on your journey. You crushed it more than you know.

nico you are truly so inspiring this video was beautiful to watch, you are seriously changing lives with the content u put out there

Such an amazing video. To show the highs and lows of what a marathon brings, as well as the weeks of dedication it takes to train is inspiring. Well done on your results as it was still fantastic. I love you recognise the support you have around you to help you get those hard long runs and hours of training. Keep that inspiration alive and the 2.50 will come one day!! GO ONE MORE 💪

This was the first ever video ive seen of yours and this was amazing! Loved every second of this and i can 100% relate to everything you went through from the build up to the race! I have done the Eugene marathon before and you did great! Dont give up on your goals and dont let anything get you down, you did great either way!

Nico you’re an inspiration to myself and countless others, helping us push past our perceived limits. Thank you for sharing your videos (which keep getting better in quality as well)!

Thank you Nico, you’ve inspired me greatly. Are a huge part of my rather late spurred passion for running. I watch your videos and this one was inspirational to say the least. Just know as you make these videos and support us (the fans), we will too, support you.

Nico- you are such a motivation and inspiration. So glad I found you… and so thankful for all you share. I’m building to my first marathon in 2025… and you’re helping me every step of the way. ❤

that was truly an inspiring race. thank you for taking us with you through that process. awesome job nico

Very motivational! Appreciate your vulnerability showing the true side of the nerves many of us feel before a big race even when the training has been dialed in. Also appreciate you showing that although you didn’t reach your A goal, how proud you were of yourself for giving it your all and finishing. You have inspired many of us to push and reach what we may think is unattainable. 2:50 WILL happen next. Way to grind!!!

Bro ! I love how Raw and real this video is cause thatss exactly how i feel running every race, the thoughts are so insane! how did i cry when you crossed the finish line!??? this is a brilliant video and freaking well done on that smashing time!!!!!

Hey Nico, I’ve been waiting for this video and it didn’t let down. Love your videos so much, they’ve helped me too. 2:52 is an incredible time and I wanted to let you know how much you inspire. Keep on going man, I know your gonna hit your goal next race.

I’m watching this from Germany and I will continue following your process, cause you really are someone I have a great respect for You did such a great job on not only this race, but also the whole training in preparation for it You motivate me a lot to go out and chase my dreams You can be really really proud of yourself, Nico

Well done Nico. You’re right about being proud, you had an amazing race. It’s when you make the choice to keep going that you understand who you really are. ❤️‍🔥 I had a similar experience in my last marathon in Rome. It was really hard, but I’m so proud. Thank you for your inspiring videos!! From Italy 😎

Could not wait to watch this. I save all your vids for my treadmill runs cause I hate the treadmill and love your vids! This is my favorite vid of the series cause it’s so real. So proud of you for staying in the fight, as all of us runners know how hard that can be when you’re in the pain cave or in your head. Nico, your vids really paint the picture of how beautiful running is. Keep on keeping on…

Absolute legend the work you put in day by day never gets unnoticed. Every run it’s you vs you. Good job big dawg.

Congratulations!!! I am so proud of you for pushing your body to its limits. You are a role model for many including myself and you have helped me to run my first half marathon at the age of 14. ❤

This is so inspirational. I run track and Xc and you have gaven me a lot of inspiration to keep running even when it gets hard. ❤

I am so inspired by you and your dedication and I know that you will break 2:50 next marathon. I just hope that you never give up and keep on making new goal for yourself because that is just awesome. Good job Nico.

You are a true inspiration Nico! This video just proved how strong and resilient you are despite adversity. You inspired me to run and i ran my first half marathon last weekend. However, unlike the support you had at the finish line, there was no one there for me. It felt kinda lonely but regardless, i am proud of my performance and my willingess to keep going despit the cramps and fatigue. I ran this race for myself and not for others. And i think you should be proud too. The amount of work behind the scene will eventually pay off. You’ve got this!!

Amazing. Great race. Pushing through the pain and finishing strong. Never give up. It is the true mentality of a runner. Congrats.

I'm messaging from Dublin, Ireland- love following your journey! I wanted to let you know you've inspired and helped me to get back into running after a period of really struggling. Your 2:50 marathon will be all the sweeter when you achieve it, which you will. You're very inspirational, genuine and I hope you are staying kind to yourself. All the best from Ireland!! 🇮🇪

My first time watching a Nico video and not only did I cry…but what an inspiration to keep going. Thank you for sharing every part of your journey.

Your journey from the beginning to what you have achieved now has been a pleasure to witness. You should be immensely immensly prould to what you have accomplished up until now and all the hard work you have put in. I look forward to follow your journey onwards! All the best.

Nico, you are truly inspiring. Your videos have motivated me to keep moving, keep running - each and every day... go one more.

Nico, thank you for inspiring me through this journey! You have truly changed my perspective of life with running! It felt like just yesterday you started your 2:50 prep, and you have come so far! You crushed Eugene and you have impacted my life and many others way more than you know! Thank you so much!!!

That emotion in the few minutes after crossing the finish line is so real and so raw - took my back to some of my best and worst races. Appreciate you sharing this video. Reminded me that there are so few things in life that can elicit that time of feeling. It’s why we chase crazy goals like this. Motivated to dive back into my next prep! Great work Nico!

Nico, fantastic video!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your videos have inspired and encouraged me to become a better runner. I couldn’t help but tear up a little bit at the end. Even though you didn’t hit your goal this time, I know you’re going to hit it in the future.

This was so beautiful to watch. You fought so hard that whole time!!! When you said you never know how the run is gonna go is so real. Because of you I just ran my first half marathon. I’m so excited to see you hit that 2:50 goal and we will all be celebrating with you then like we are celebrating this race with you!!!!

You got me crying at work at 9am. Thank you for showing us your raw and authentic emotions. Continue what you’re doing, keep inspiring. Sending love from Toronto!

What a great video Nico. Thank you for not only focusing on the race, but taking time to fill us in on how you were feeling. Hope recovery is going well.

Goose bumps. This is so inspiring to so many. Way to go, you finished the race…gave it your all…and for that you should be so proud of yourself.

Lots of tears watching the end of this. That message is about a lot more than running and was one I needed to hear. Been following your journey and can’t wait to keep doing so. Keep at it, Nico

I loved this video Nico! Brought me to tears. Thank you for being so real. You’re a real inspiration ❤

One of the best marathon videos I’ve ever watched! The emotions were next level on my side, I appreciate the accurate portrayal of a marathon fight.

Nico, this brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing your story and being one of the most inspirational athletes in my life. You did absolutely amazing and have nothing to be disappointed with. You give me courage to pursue my own running goals, and that’s more valuable than any time you could ever run. You’re leaving a legacy.

This is the most beautiful documentary of your journey! So inspiring. Touching. You are moving us all 🙏🏻

tears filled my eyes watching this video- the sheer determination displayed paired with your intelligence and eloquence in speaking is unmatched. keep doing you. thank you for showing us your vulnerability. you are a strong force- an incredible inspiration to many.

I thank you for sharing your journey and raw honesty in these videos. The inspiration and drive I get from them is immeasurable. As I train for my own running goals I remember your journey and it helps push me. Until the next one…..

You cross the finish line, you’re victorious. Congratulations on ALL your victories and thanks for the videos. They’re well done with practical, inspiring information and they’re entertaining. More than all this though you capture the true spirit running. Stay out there!

Darn journey of a video, phenomenal bro Oh man seeing your fans at the end recognize you is ❤❤ I mean dude just imagine working up all this way and having people of your own community meet you at the finish line who did the race with you, take that in man you're so inspirational

Nico. Wow. This is one of the most powerful things I’ve ever watched. I’m in tears. I just started running this year. I have a 5k coming up and this inspired me to keep going and get better and better at running. Great job. Thank you for sharing these raw emotions with us

So happy to hear that you're still going to keep running & making videos! What you said at the end on not giving up on your goals was so inspiring! Was really fun following along on your journey & awesome job on the 2:52 PR which is still such an impressive achievement!!

Congratulations! Such an inspiration 🎉! Thank you for sharing 😊 and can't wait to see your next project!

You are the first person I found when I entered the world of running. By far the best, most inspirational, entertaining and just an amazing person. Thank you the content you put out and motivating me to go one more and push myself daily. When you crossed the finish line I was crying with you brother

Head up high Nico! You did amazing! Thanks for inspiring me to run my first marathon in august. This week i ran 60kms and thats because of the videos you put out. Thank you for inspiring me and so many others!

Watching from Ogden Utah. Goals are meant to be scary! Love watching the journey. The content is so inspiring and that’s more important than any number. Can’t wait for the next attempt. You got this!!

What an incredible video, super inspiring. Definitely the motivation I needed. Thank you for that!

Great work Nico! The content is so inspiring and your journey is only beginning! Thank you for showing your vulnerability with us.

Absolutely insane! Thank you for making this video. The raw emotions that you share just goes to show how difficult marathon training is. You’ve inspired me and I’m sure many others in their running journey 🏃‍♂️ Keep crushing it!

Seriously man….appreciate your vulnerability, and this has inspired me even more. I missed my half marathon goal on the same day you raced your marathon….we keep going. On to the next race.

Absolute legend Nico. Proud to watch this entire journey, through the struggles and success. A number is just a number. But you’ve gained a lot of wisdom and understanding of yourself. Keep up the hard work brother. You’ve got so much more in you.

Literal chills went through me as you crossed that finish line Nico. You are such an inspiration and don’t ever think that your videos don’t inspire or motivate people because they DO. they’ve inspired me to keep going with track and my own running journey, and i’m sure that goes for SO many more people who see your hard work. Don’t beat yourself up about this marathon, this is one out of so many more to come and your goal is still out there for you to chase and achieve! Keep doing what you do because you are LOVED and a blessing to so many people out there! THANK YOU for all your videos and the hard work, emotions, motivation, and support you convey just through a screen! YOU are truly AMAZING, God bless. ❤

Thanks for the high-quality video. Your videos have inspired me many months ago to continue running. You are a gem to the running community. Especially this video about the importance of continuing and finding joy in running despite not reaching a number target, we can probably all relate to.

Wow Nico, you’ve outdone yourself with this one. One of the most inspirational and moving videos I’ve seen. Watching your journey unfold and knowing there’s still more to watch you accomplish is so exciting.

You're amazing man, you should be very proud. I just started running this year and your videos have been a great source of inspiration for me. Excited to see you continue to improve. Congrats!

Way to stay in the fight! Anyone can look at a time on a board and judge if there was a success or failure. You didn’t fail, you learned about yourself and your grit to push through. You showed so much heart in this race that will inspire many. Great work! Hope to see you on race day down the line. Keep your head up!

Great, great work Nico. Been watching you for a good while now & you’ve encouraged me to start running. I’ve been at it for a while now and I’m not nearly where you are but I know 1 day I can be. Hard work pays off! You did AWESOME 😎

Your an inspiration Nico. Your journey has been so inspiring to me. Even though you didn't achieve your goal your resilience and determination to finish show that failure is only a stepping stone on the path to success. Keep pushing forward, you are destined for greatness! You'll smash 2:50 in the future !

Wow. Just wow. I just finished watching this absolute masterpiece. You’re so inspiring and you make me want to be better, to push on. This was an incredible journey to watch and this episode was the cherry on top. I can’t wait to join you on your next journey Nico. Thank you for being my inspiration.

You have a true gift Nico and your content has seriously changed my life. Thank you for your constant inspiration ❤️❤️

Awesome run! Your will and discipline is strong, your vision is clear and your gratitude is humbling. Thanks for the inspiration i get to keep getting up in the morning and grind it out, its worth it. As a 56 yo dad and full-time w4 employee, seems like an up hill battle. No matter how difficult, it's worth the sweat. Congratulations on all your victories, especially this one.

Proud of you! It takes courage to share when you don’t reach your goals and to keep on pushing. Thank you for the inspiration to keep on trying in our own personal goals!

truly inspiring. progress isn’t linear and sometimes you do end up missing your goal. the emotions you showed at the finish line made me tear up. i could tell how badly you wanted this. but you have great things waiting for you in the future. i’m proud of you and i loved this video. i’m confident you’ll run a 250 marathon and even faster than that in the future. onwards.

I loved watching this. I feel like this was the most authentic and genuine depiction of what happens facing a race emotionally. I am so excited for your next race because I can just tell that this race made you grow mentally/emotionally in a way you haven’t experienced yet. This next race that you’ll do I feel like you’ll have more of a hunger and fire 🔥 I am so excited to witness it because I know you are gonna rock your next training block and race.

I just finished my first week of running. Your videos inspired me to start and pursue something I’ve always thought I hated. Thank you!!

I am running my first half marathon in a few days and I find your content really inspiring. Running a 2:52 marathon is incredible!

Nico, this made me cry 😢 it’s crazy how some days we can run and it feels effortless and other days it’s really hard. I think this was more inspiring to watch. You do an amazing job on your time. Well done 👏 love watching your videos ❤️

Nico, you’re such a damn amazing runner. This video touched my heart and almost made me tear up. I was even yelling at the scream “GO NICO!” 😭 tysm for being such an inspiration to me.

It's crazy. Seeing this video makes my heart so warm. I recently decided to become a marathoner after years of not running and I've been watching so many video to get me in the correct head space because I have some large goals. I was emotional the entire time watching this. It was almost like confirmation that this is what I need to do for my life. Ive always loved running and as I've gotten older, I know now that it's like freedom for me and to feel free is nearly necessity, ya know? Thank you for sharing this with us. Hopefully I can come back with an update next year.
