I like that you took a poll then made a video. Brother, we need this real talk more in every video. Don't for how you spoke as a Lt. I remember meeting you while you were in your a solid dude man. Still riding the green for a few more months and I too will be free. Be steady brother.

[@ganeshroman8557]

Hey Nick ...please do give your playlist you use during workout ...or just mention the songs you use in your videos

[@jodywatkins9467]

Thank you so much for what you are doing, Nick! Because of you I signed up for my first marathon this September!!! I can't wait!

[@runningmn999]

What race are you training for? See you at Boston?

[@tlanthony82]

But you didn't just walk on Tuesday. You stood around too.

[@Allride_]

If you are starting out and hear him say that you need to do everything right and just showing up to your workout is the bare minimum: Please know that it's okay to improve slowly. You don't have to do everything right the minute you start something new. We all learn as we go, from experience and advice. We get better as we go along and find challenges more enjoyable. Don't put too much pressure on yourself starting out because starting is the hardest part!

[@erinhoril7217]

I agree. Showing up and giving it your all is still discipline even if you miss times or need to adapt the workout.

[@dbo4506]

100%! For most people Showing up and getting it done is definitely enough. Once you get a bit more competitive then sure what he said makes sense. But for most, discipline is getting out of bed and getting it done.

[@camonly849]

I think what he meant is just be consistent. That's the hardest about anything related to fitness.

[@Kiet-Tran]

Perfect timing. I just PR my half marathon this morning. From 2 hr to 1 hr 45. Time to relax and watch some Nick Bare

[@NLghost010]

that's big good job

[@Mateuszyk]

And how it felt!? Made my pr on 10k few days ago. From 55 to 52, i was flying!

[@Kiet-Tran]

@@Mateuszyk It felt like the hard work paid off once I crossed the finish line. No better feeling than working hard for a goal and achieving it! But congrats on your PR!

[@razbrosh12]

Hey man, I really really like your stuff, but I gotta say I really don't agree with what you said at 6:00. For a whole lot of people, just showing up is discipline. For a lot of people, the mentality that you have to be 100% from the time you wake up until you go to bed is the thing that really hinders their progress and ability to grow. A lot of people aren't where you are, and the baby steps they take isn't the "bare minimum", but a whole world of dedication and hard work. I really hope you get to read this message. I think it is really important for people to know that it is ok if they aren't at "100%" levels yet.

[@zacpowerleon]

I absolutely agree with you, he’s said in podcasts and other videos in the past where its more important to be “consistently good rather than occasionally great” and I really resonated with that. For some people, waking up early in the morning and doing their workout when they absolutely didn’t want to is their version of “good”. Hitting their metrics and doing everything properly in their workout is “great”. For him to say that just showing up is the bare minimum is kind of contradicting that whole statement he’s been saying in the past. I think that doing the workout when you didn’t want to is much better than not doing it at all, and that people should be proud of themselves when they had 0 motivation to do it. And I disagree with him saying that’s not discipline, because that absolutely is. Maybe in the future that’ll be their bare minimum, but for someone just starting that is a step in the right direction.

[@erinhoril7217]

Yup. That left a bad taste in my mouth. No one nails their workouts 100% of the time. If they do, the workouts aren't hard enough ;)

[@srcstcgngr2905]

Yeh exactly, you doing 0-10 effort will build to 10-20 after a week and then 20-30 and then it’s a couple months later and you’re consistently doing 50 versus trying to go 100% for a few days failing and then the cycle of starting again. Consistency I think is always more effective then going 100 all the time

[@meredithjones8593]

So the 5 yr old was up all night with a cough. The 3 yr old didn’t fall asleep until midnight. And the 1 yr old didn’t sleep through the night as per her usual. But I got up at 4:45am to do my workout cuz that’s mom’s only time to do it. It wasn’t my most amazing workout ever but I got it done. But according to you, “showing up is the bare minimum”. Thanks for that. Very encouraging outlook. Guess we’ll just have to have our own definitions of discipline 😬

[@leighmunday1872]

Are you burnt out or are you under-stimulated. Brilliant, Nick. That’s a life lesson right there.

[@MrSher22]

Bro is stimulated alright 💉

[@ben.jones2004]

Your videos are full of wisdom and very inspiring, I have started my own KZbin channel after seeing your growth on this platform. Keep up the good work and positive vibes!

[@freemystic77]

Thank you for your effort in this series and congratulations on achieving all you have so far! It’s honestly inspiring to watch you dude, let’s all go one more!

[@madelynspears]

Just finished my 8 mile run, officially 21 days out from my first marathon. #goonemore

[@kyliearcher5137]

Did you ever get a running coach? I want to work up to something like a half marathon but right now I’m only running a 13min 1.5 mile for the police academy 😂 Any tips???

[@andreas7623]

@@kyliearcher5137 If you have a Garmin watch you can use the free Garmin coach function and then choose half marathon prep program - It will give you some structure to your running workouts 🙂

[@dlyroadrunner]

Goodluck!!!

[@tsvetomirpenev6640]

How did it go?

[@madelynspears]

It went really well! I did a 4:52 marathon, which was a lot faster than I thought I would go. But it’s addicting, I’m already planning to run another race in July!!!

[@sethhubbard]

Best series ever. Haven’t missed a workout since following along this prep. Excited every Sunday for the video!

[@eg1220]

I started running in college in the late 80s. Didn’t have any aspirations of competing in races. Came across The book Ultramarathon Man and that lit the fire. My first race ever was the Heartland 50 mile in Cassoday Kansas in 2006. I ran 50-70 mile weeks and never had issues with fatigue or burnout. But something in that race broke me. I had breathing difficulties for years after and running was an extreme chore. The life and spring in my stride was and still is gone. 830/ minute miles turned into 1030 miles in an instant. And those were a struggle. I saw specialist after specialist after specialist. Never an answer or cause.

[@Mateuszyk]

Nick you are real inspiration! I couldnt run 1km straight 5 months ago! Now i can go 10km in 52min, aiming for first half marathon 🔥

[@dwahearn]

I have been following your advice on heart rate training for running and it is definitely working. In 3 months or so I am running miles up to 1 min faster with the same heart rate that I had at 10min miles. Now 9min flat or even 8min30sec a mile is achieved at a 145 bpm where before I was over 160bpm at that pace. Great shot dude. Can't wait to see you maul Buffalo.

[@mikelecheberria7157]

That speech in 6:00 made me get goosebumps. OMG. This dude a legend, I'll acomplish my first marathon thanks to all the advices! Thanks Nick! #go1more

[@mikeg.7083]

Man, it's Sunday, I feel like I'm bombarded with school work, and work work.. mentally and physically needed a break from being in the gym, and as I'm doing homework, I have this playing the background, and the sense of revival that I got from the first 2 or 3 minutes is unreal.. the music, the tone of it, the energy... I can't wait to get back into the gym. Running your Hybrid Athlete program starting tomorrow. Go One More.

I’ve been watching you for years and since your videos always come up I never subscribed. I must be crazy, one of my favorite guys in this space

[@justinrosario9064]

Thanks you Nick for all the information and motivation. With all the advice you have given me now I am running 17:26 5km at 13yrs.

[@bullfrogpipes7460]

I have watched a lot of your old stuff over the last few months, as well as new. This is probably the best video in the prep series so far. Loved it.

[@heidivanroekel5518]

I’m not a runner but I am still getting a lot out of this series. I’m training for the Susan G Komen breast cancer 3 day walk in Dallas in November. (60 miles over 3 days) Your advice about having electrolytes before a workout has really helped. Your information on heart rate was also really helpful, I realized I was pushing to hard and getting my heart rate way to high.

[@sportsjoe13]

This video couldn't have come at a better time! I'm currently studying to be a PA and it's a long road, to say the least. Between school 5 days a week, working 24-48 hours on the weekend, and a new baby I've been feeling burnt. This is some great advice to combat that!

[@TheDekorz]

Been running everyday and spending at least 2 hours in the gym. 5:00am runs. Just did one in the rain this morning and watched this after. Been watching you since you were in Korea. Always inspired #GoOneMore.

[@jonathansosa8216]

How much time between your run and your gym time?

[@HondenTeamNL]

Bedankt voor de video , ik heb nu voor het eerst een run gedaan in de ochtend van 5:00 tot 6:00. en het bevalt goed. echt een levensverandering door jou video's in positieve zin bedankt !

[@Kr4y0nS]

That intro was just what I needed with my Monday morning coffee. Sheesh

[@TheNikonic]

You are right on the money with burnout. The most difficult thing I'm facing now is having to take recovery days now that my mileage is up to 26mi/wk and I've added rucks. My endurance has tripled, I've changed my diet to be performance based, started rolling out, my RHR is between 48-53bpm. I struggle because mentally I want to go go go and get that endurance training in but my body cannot keep up e.g. IT band soreness, calf soreness, foot blisters. I think I'll drop my weekly mileage volume to accommodate, it just sucks mentally to take time off to recover. I'm sure others can relate.

[@richardramirez302]

Honestly I watch your videos every time you post a new one. Great info and great leader.

[@Dylan53]

How many marathon prep videos do you see on KZbin with the person benching 275. Nick is truly the goat

[@skaz783]

Andrew Huberman talks about similar thing in relation to dopamine, goal or journey oriented mentality etc.

[@stevenfaisst2742]

This couldn’t have been posted at a better time. I was feeling burnt out most of last week and this was exactly what I needed to hear

[@errin1143]

Definitely needed this video since I'll be starting to run again in April. I've missed and can't wait to get back out there.

[@solomony8747]

I hate running. But, I have started running because of your motivational video. Let's see how far I can go. I will report back my progress on 04/01/23.

[@irvinquijano]

wow so inspirational , thanks broh . i just started watching you and you are truly an inspiration to me

[@Jayrock_95]

This really hit the nail on the head. Been doing my same routine with the exception of tweaking speed work and weight training. Everything has felt so strenuous over the past few weeks and it honestly has sucked. I wanna start trying out deloading like you mentioned but stress in life has been the primary cause and I’ve just been hating that the same workouts have felt so tough. Thanks Nick, by the way love the product line, been on your protein, strong greens and strong reds for awhile but finally tried flight and loved it!

[@olivemoon1871]

I love this video but the one thing I say as a woman is sometimes it’s so hard to figure out if I’m feeling crappy because I’m under-recovered or if my period is coming haha; you men are so lucky to not have hormone cycles

[@gerardscott5815]

[@CoachZaleski01]

Garmin Tip: Add those workouts to your Garmin schedule in Connect. Then when you open that workout type, such as run, it’ll automatically ask you if you want to perform that workout since it’s on the schedule. No more searching for your workout on your watch.

[@brandonfiest6368]

I'm super curious about your reasoning from a more powerlifter/bodybuilder focus to a runner and endurance focus. Is it for longevity, more fun, or what exactly? Anyone out there have any insight into that?

[@matthiassventoest6800]

just glad you got a coach.., and good running shoes. you have come a long way, from when you started running. but coaching in running is a thing.., and many coaching methods work.., just have to find the one that works best for you.., and sometimes, change it up to see if you can get a different stimulus.

How do you handle with your nails? They bleed, they hurt, they got infection, they needs to be removed, do you have ingrown toenail? This kind of information would do a lot for your followers.

[@TripDadLife]

Burnout is not a physical state it's a mental state and yes it happens but you cannot assess it physically. And showing up is not the bare minimum it is 99% of the battle. Showing up is entirely what it's about. Just show up and the work will basically do itself. If you don't show up the work won't happen.
