My big advice after 10+ years of ultra marathons (and Nick did a reasonable job of this here) is contrary to what you may think - YOU (the runner) are there to support your crew way more than they support you. They are constantly living on pins and needles (do we have the right stuff, how is he feeling? etc). You can get wrapped up in what you are doing but remember, YOU chose to be there and they are taking a day out of their life to help you. When you come into those pits you need to be smiling ear to ear baby! All positive. You could be bleeding out of every part of your body but it's all smiles. In fact, you are smiling when you ask them to take you to the hospital. If you need a cry you do that out on the course when you are all alone. When you come through the pits you don't complain, you don't get negative, you don't do any of that. You can tell your crew what you need or want etc. but you do it with a smile and you are loving life. They deserve that!!

[@trailsandbeers]

never raced with a crew, but if I ever do they are gonna be my bitches! just kidding, it is always important to smile and thank the aid station volunteers too no matter how bad you feel 👍

[@codyhughes148]

This may be the worst advice I’ve ever seen. “Hey bud, I know I twisted the crap out of my ankle and it hurts to breathe, but boy oh boy do I not get to live in my moment because making you feel special is 10,000 times more important”. Don’t be stupid. You can celebrate and appreciate your team after the event. They understand what their role is. If they don’t, you’ve prepared poorly or they’re the wrong people.

[@Dozrfoshozr]

Because of you nick bare and your Leadville video, I signed up for my first ultra! I did a 6 hour race today in California, only did 21 miles, but for a big dude @ 275, I didn’t give up! I was the biggest dude out there, I didn’t care, I got goals! It was the furthest and longest I’ve ever been on my feet! Thanks bpn for helping me go one more! #100

[@alexo2107]

unbelievable that his wife supports him so much it‘s just a pleasure to watch this i always have a smile on my face

[@Kelly_Ben]

My husband is my crew too... he often "adopts" the crewless runners I hook up with in the race, so that they can have support too. I've learned though, it's not his passion, it's mine, so I limit him crewing to the most difficult races, so I don't burn him out. Shout out to the supportive partners out there!

[@spiralgalaxy9060]

"An ultra for me is like this self intervention, and when I started the race, I was thinking about the end of the race. I was thinking about mile 80,99, 100. And it dawned on me, like what the fck I'm doing, why I am thinking hours from now, why I aren't focusing the mile I'm in. And I started to reflecting. Maybe I'm always looking at the next thing, I'm not able to actually enjoy and live and learn from the present. That's what I am taking away from these first 45 mile, it doesn't matter if it is a race if it's a milestone in life in business, with your friends, your family. Be present, enjoy the process because you are going to learn from that process and that experience, and don't always keep looking for the next thing. Be hyper focused where you are right now. " Nick Bare

[@TheAnabolicChicken]

Thinking ahead drives me crazy sometimes. Running and just focusing on breathing and putting one foot in front of the other is hard, but once you do it. It’s almost like my head is on a cloud. Nothing matters, as if I’m meditating. I don’t know how to meditate but this is my closest to attempting.

[@Kelly_Ben]

Oof... so glad I saw this. I've got a training marathon tomorrow, preparing for my first 100k in a month. I'm literally already done with the race in my mind, like it's a hurdle that has to be completed instead of a fun day in the woods with cool people, improving myself.

[@chrispauls6759]

Great lessons, Nick! Yes to doing something that's a challenge, not something you know you can accomplish. At 51 I did my first 100mi on as little training as I could get away with due to having two small children and lots of chronic injuries. That was last year. This year, I did the rim-to-rim-to-rim of the Grand Canyon at 52 on the same chronically under-mileage training plan, but got it done. This spring trying for a good showing in my age group in a couple of half marathons. Still getting it done despite family obligations, work and a lifetime of pushing this old body. It's all about being in this moment and never resting on the laurels of previous accomplishments.

[@crackerbarreIkid55]

Great job Nick and entire BPN team. I have ran a couple miles over the last few weeks after years off and your videos have been a source of reinforcement. When everything hurts and I want to stop, my measly few miles pales in comparison to 100 and I know I have it in me to keep going.

[@ryansuchodolski68]

AWESOME VIDEO! Two key points... 1.) Are you HURT or are you INJURED? You have to know which one because you can always keep going if your hurt, but you need to know when your truly injured and stop. You were hurt when you twisted your ankle. 2.) You learn so much about yourself in the hardest moments in life; when times are tough and hard and your in pain! ITS ALL ABOUT THE LASST 50 MILES! You must have learned so much about yourself during all these long races. Mad respect!!!

When you spend you life challenging yourself it will payoff. At 52 fell alone in the woods 14 below zero out lightly dressed a 60 second walk to my running truck took several hour of crawling threw the woods. Injuries shattered hip shattered pelvis broke right shoulder 10 broke ribs severe hypothermia bruised lungs and femer. After laying under exhaust pipe to avoid freezing to death I mustered enough strength to climb in the truck and call 911. After 20 minutes or so I was found and medivaced to trauma unit. Was told you couldn't destroy you hip and pelvis any worst than I did, shattered I was literally pieced back together, didn't sleep for 2 years after fall due to misery. Point is I always took the hard road in life and it paid off 💯. My goal has been to run a sub 45 minute 5 k I know it's not shit to most but it's massive accomplishment for me. Go out people run a marathon do a triathlon take the hard road don't be so damn soft. Life is flying by if you have not noticed

[@rawfoodphilosophy7061]

5 km is about 3 miles. A person can walk a mile in 15 minutes. You should easily be able to walk 5 km and get under 45 minutes

Not yet I will soon, unfortunately I've been battling stage 4 skin cancer that is in my lymph nodes had 2 surgeries to remove over 24 left arm pit and traveled to my brain had radiation and immune therapy. last Wednesday I had all my body scans and MRI currently no cancer detected. Glory to God . I am already feeling much better did realize how much I was dragging till they took me off one of the infusion drugs. still gotta do more but it's all good. I rarely miss workouts obviously I did after surgeries and days my injuries from the fall were bothering me. But like I said I rarely took a day off. Back to your point I am feeling great gonna hit the 5k soon. I did sign up for the mammoth march which is a 20 mile trail hike gonna do it with my son and daughter looking forward to the challenge . I'll do the 5 k by my birthday in June I will do it.
