My Diet 1 Week Out From My Marathon | FULL DAY OF EATING

[@chicagobearsfan2334]

Yo Nick, have you thought about cycling your running shoes? My friend is an avid runner as well and he has 4 different pairs of Rokas, and everyday he wears a different pair. It lets the soles decompression so the cushion and sole feels good as new for longer.

[@courtneylovesturtles]

ChicagoBearsFan23 yea I think it takes a full 24 hours for foam in the shoes to go back to normal after a run. Hope he sees your comment!

[@SamLemaire99]

This comment needs way more likes

[@TayLybb]

At least 2 pair. Newer designs also don't include actyal outsole material. Love my Brooks and asics

[@razswortzkoren3311]

Every guy that runs he's amount of milage has to have a few pairs for different workouts Long run Easy run Temp Ext

[@buda3139]

This is smart af

[@Rijo27]

ok can we get steph on the videos more often? She's awesome lol

[@kyliearcher5137]

Nick, I just want to let you know that through watching every single one of your videos... you’ve given me incredible inspiration to embrace the suck and embark on my CrossFit journey again. Every day that I’m in the gym, when I think I’m going to die, I just think of how hard you push through difficult workouts and I keep going! Without you and your videos, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t be seeing all of these results, and I truly, can’t thank you enough. I’m so PUMPED, for the marathon. You’re going to kill it🤩🤩🤩

[@razswortzkoren3311]

Keep it up!!!

[@kyliearcher5137]

RAZ swortzkoren thank you!!!!

[@saurabh0031]

I have my first 74km trail ultra. I have been running for 8 months in total. You've been a huge motivation. All the best man 👍

[@TheAPUSH]

Steph needs to be a central point in every video from now on.

[@dwrivers47]

Man I just love this guy, can’t get me enough motivation from Nick.

[@spyy2802]

“It was just a 10mile run”

[@loganstack785]

10 miles is the farthest I've ever run and couldnt walk right for the next 2 days lmao

[@gabeolvera7785]

After many miles ran, 10 miles seems like a stroll in the park.

[@buda3139]

The more you do it the easier it gets just like with everything else. 😁

[@miketherunner764]

SPYY As what the other guy said, it’s all perspective. For someone who doesn’t run or someone who’s a beginner 10 miles seems crazy, yet a lot of advanced runners will do 10 miles for their easy runs, especially distance runners who do stuff like marathons and ultra marathons

[@f_r_e_d]

that's nothing, my fingers do 30 miles on the keyboard

[@drewsson]

Tip: Take action daily and stop asking how LONG it will take and instead ask how FAR can I go. And remember, sometimes you win & sometimes you learn.

[@kelysiaana5717]

Thanks Iove you

[@urklenurkle]

“I want to jump in a warm bowl of queso” lmao same

[@TZP23]

That was too funny

[@matthewens509]

Nick! Let me remind you. You know the exact pace you need to run to get this goal. During your run there will be a point where you make the decision to go for it or give up. DO NOT GIVE UP. Run that needed pace and hit this goal. I am cheering for you!!!

[@briankrosky3567]

“It’s actually not that bad OOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOAAAAA”

[@rileypart1]

“Holy Pecan pie” lmao ah steph 😂😂

[@zachwilbert5680]

You should do a video where you actually count the calories and macros you would normally eat in marathon prep just to see what it is

[@MayurUPatel]

counting macros is honestly a waste of time. just eat healthy with a good amount of protein. like intuitively you know when you're eating healthy all day.

[@MayurUPatel]

also eating healthy overall is more sustainable then counting everything all the time and stopping after 2 weeks

[@ryzo7324]

Mayur Patel yeah the problem is most people can’t count intuitively or eat healthy intuitively end up over eating or under eating. I don’t think you need to be super meticulous when tracking but it becomes pretty routine and easy after a while.

[@MayurUPatel]

@@ryzo7324 very true. but i also am a firm believer if you're eating healthy IT IS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to overeat so i just eat more than usual. like it's so hard for me to reach my caloric goal of maintain my body weight when i eat healthy so i stuff with face with healthy foods all day. very subjective i know.

[@ryzo7324]

Mayur Patel I get where your coming from, i would love to do that.personally I’m on the flip side of someone who almost always over eats if I’m not tracking 😂 all comes down to lifestyle, goals and whatever is sustainable for yourself

[@CombatTrainingNutrition]

Great taper overview included at the start - I am 1 Week Out from Valencia Marathon myself and this has given me confidence in my own program aiming for a PB of sub 02:57:00. Man the protein sludge is a solid addition - Go One More!

[@active_annuh6220]

I love watching your videos because it keeps me motivated. Thank you. Good luck on your marathon!

[@oliverhamusic]

6:04 - sick shot of ATX. good luck this Sunday man. Hope the weather gets better here for you

[@joesph9748]

You and Steph are awesome! I am a long time viewer - getting ready to place my first order - fruity cereal for sure will be on the list

[@mx8357]

Going to be video cycling between you and Evan childs for that weekly dose of inspiration 👌🏻 I signed up for a half marathon and only have 6 weeks to train but it’s fineee, I’m excited! You’re going to crush the marathon, can’t wait to see/hear about it!

[@marcsreid8318]

"My foot feels broken" so funny made my day steph.

[@dan_ferritto_REAL_broker]

Nick, have you read David Goggins’ book: Can’t Hurt Me? If not, check it out.

[@arian55555]

Couldn't agree more with you bro. Goggins is a machine like no other but Nick, you aren't too bad also 😀

[@joshd2861]

Yes- it's def worth an audio book during one of your runs, etc.

[@XxStriker4cexX]

Nike Vapor Fly Next % is the best running shoe for the road hands down.

[@wordphrase]

everytime i work out, i watch this first to motivate me, keep up the good work!

[@jakehayesfitness]

ice bath scene was HILARIOUS 😂😂

[@CRODTV]

We want more of angry Steph!

[@JamerePryor]

love your channel Nick! Thanks for always putting out great content 💪🏾

[@zb5715]

Nick, please do a video on your mobility routine, warmup, cool down, etc. for running

[@Vevehvavo]

Does steph have her own channel ? I would love to see videos showing her 1/2 Marathon journey, ect.

[@lokiz0072]

sunshine she does, just search her name Stefany Banda, or she’s lurking in some of the comments on the video here. Or give a follow on Instagram, she’s funny as hell.

[@Vevehvavo]

Ahh thank you :)

[@lisadewilde4642]

you've inspired me to sign up for my first half marathon in October this year. As a future soldier, I think it's a great way to test my endurance and persistence! CAN'T wait!!

[@dmora2386]

"Just 10miles"...dudes 1mi warmup is literally my cardio for the day...

[@larsmau6145]

Buy three pairs of the shoe and change the Pair every time you run, so the sole has a Chance to regenerate

[@billybuckingham8263]

Noizy Undead that works, but the rincons are a very light weight shoe and not meant to last long either

[@robwatkins9269]

I started running in Rincons 3 months ago based off your recommendation and your prior experiences with foot pain on distance runs. I was dealing with similar problems and trying out SOOOO many different pairs of shoes that I was getting eff'ing pissed!. I can cosign 100% that although these are very comfortable over longer distance and speed runs, the outer sole layer does wear fast. I'm still pushing a first pair but started cycling a 2nd pair of Rincons. Even though the outer sole rubber has worn exposing the inner "soft material", they're still running comfy with no pain, so I'm gonna see how long I can push these cause that outer sole layer does vanish quick. But, with a price point of $115 (not counting 10% discount at my local store...so ~$105), I am not gonna complain too much. They suit my needs and keep away foot pain.

[@christoswalden6907]

🤣🤣🤣 "HOLY PECAN PIE!" is my new favorite swear word. Hahaha. Great video Nick! Always awesome to see you and Steph goofing together.

[@TheMeganPerez]

"Nick dont tell me to sit down-im in" 😂😂😂

[@_sammiejoe9784]

Absolutely dying at stefs slow mo pump up

[@richardl7570]

Science in sports is legit. It’s more of a European supplement but I use almost every bit of them. I’ve been thinking about getting your supps mixed in there too.

[@zacharykraus8146]

I am so pumped to see what you’re capable of

[@colefambrough210]

You should try out brooks running shoes. They are so comfortable and they last awhile. I’ve been using mine for 5 months at medium to high mileage! The only thing is that they are a little heavier than the rincons but🤷‍♂️ you don’t notice

[@codywhittington5626]

When she said “fuck no” in the cold told I felt that to my core 😂

[@annalisles2950]

NB eating with your hat on. You’re such a straight up guy I wouldn’t have thought you’d do that.

[@patmcdevitt6241]

stephs face @ 11:35 is so funny lmao

[@Sulposition]

Hahahahaha when she was shadow boxing with the music holy shit hilarious lol

[@XxStriker4cexX]

Wow your girlfriend is so cute haha, you got a good one there Nick.

[@rosieryan3595]

did my first spinning class last night and it kicked my ass BUT i never stopped pedaling bc i kept telling myself “EMBRACE THE SUCK”

[@shakarussanders9911]

The burn you get on your quads on a spin cycle is insane!! But I'm sure you know that already 😄

[@samuelmorrison148]

His girlfriend in the ice bath may have been the best thing I’ve seen on this channel 😂😂😂😂

[@martinmartinez2275]

hey bud.. thanks to you I bought a pair of Hoka's not for running but for walking.. I love them . thanks man . PS . Love your videos... Martin

[@jrobersonm]

"I feel like I want to jump in a bowl of warm queso" -- you have found a queen

[@BIGJ1544]

The ice bath scene was hilarious

[@jennifersuessner3484]

Loved the fighting montage for the ice bath lol 😄

[@Jonathana0608]

Everything you post is awesome, but stephs struggle in the ice bath was solid gold

[@msJmarcus1]

"No, I like to do it my way" haha love it!

[@remingtonnicholes6781]

Steph is awesome, some of the funniest stuff ive seen today

[@abrahamavaloscarpio6734]

Yeahh!! Saludos desde CD juarez / El Paso Texas!! Excelente video 🇲🇽🇺🇲🇲🇽🇺🇲🇲🇽🇺🇲

[@alfietaylor2915]

Will BPN soon ship to UK? I can't be paying $25 shipping lol

[@joshd2861]

You have a new subscriber. Thanks for the great content. (largely how you present it)

[@TristWallace]

Check out the Skechers Go Run ride 8. You might really enjoy the ride of it. Butter smooth. Skechers has actually been putting out a very quality performance line. Maybe you could even review the shoe. Also the Hoka Clifton 6 will last longer than the Rincon but is slightly heavier.

[@razswortzkoren3311]

Loved the vid !!!! Can't wait for the marathon

[@leanneeggenberger9127]

Hey Nick...great video! Have you ever tried the Hoka Cliftons or Bondi's? The Bondi's would be great for long runs and last a lot longer and Cliftons are good for everyday training as well...both of them give a little more cushion/support..may be something to check out during your next training cycle!

[@outsideeveryday7342]

Those SiS tabs and mix are what I use. Those things are bomb!

[@jacksondavis9717]

The best quote I’ve ever seen about tracking calories and intuitive eating is “You don’t have to count all you calories but all calories count.”

[@nathanrarangol402]

Stef and Nick best part

[@0422andrew]

“I feel like i want to jump in a bowl of warm queso” 😂

[@benmartin3180]

She went full stage 5 crazy in that tub 😂

[@jhurt3824]

Just wanted to drop a quick message to tell you good luck on your taper and even though you don't need anyone to tell you. Go kick some ass at your race. You got this.

[@finnharmon5713]

i really love your vids you make me run 5k like twice a week and i love it im 14 and my mind is at a great place keep up the work man

[@GokuRunner]

Just 10 miles..... Nick is officially a runner!

[@boring-username]

Hey Nick, what is your resting heart rate and how has it changed since you started training for the iron man and marathon?

[@abimaelrebuelta7366]

“It’s all right here steph!” Hahahahah

[@jeffreymccoy11]

After you do your marathon you should review those Nike vapor fly shoes. They say they make you run better and I wanna see if you can tell the difference.

[@jaredpullis2430]

Steph, "I did a polar plunge once" Me: I just did a Super Plunge this weekend where we jump in 24 times in 24 hours, was my 11th year so to up the stakes I decided to run 24 miles during this Super Plunge as well... side note my longest run in the past 5 months before this was 6.5 miles. But I completed it and it was all to Benefit Special Olympics MN! Win Win

[@colinbuckley1407]

Steph is an absolute gem

[@adamw673]

Hey, Nick. I just rolled across your videos and started watching. I thought I was the only one who made protein "sludge". 😆 I dip tortilla chips in there like dessert queso.

[@frankcaprino6372]

Hi Nick- From your current videos, it's seems that you spend a lot of time preparing meals and working out. Can you do a video that describes your typical day? How much time working, eating, meal prep, errands, working out, relaxing, sleeping?

[@mallonskeens0109]

I feel like I just watched a preview of what it’s gonna be like when y’all have kids and Steff is in labor.. 🤣🤣🤣 ..”Holy Pecan Pie!” 😂😆

[@dazedvornado726]

Ill take Stephs breakfast all day. I personally think sludge tastes gross but to each their own

[@mikehuntsmells4309]

Stephs funny af bring her on more videos

[@aKaiski]

The lake you ran at gave me some *younger nick* vibes

[@madisonmeek1421]

A shot of espresso in my sludge is phenomenal!

[@kashivishwanath6750]

good luck Nick! you do you

[@rileypart1]

Damn Nick you got really lean bro! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@lukecheney3417]

I made sludge, but instead of milk I used nonfat greek yogurt and one scoop of protein..... tastes amazing

[@Checkursixx]

I make ziplocks with 1 cup instant oats, Splenda brown sugar, 1/8 cup of pecans or almonds, 1 scoop of protein powder. Add boiling water stir the. Top with berries and honey. Easy to cool before work and saves time in the am

[@jameshuntercox]

lol Steph coming out of the truck after the run

[@jameshuntercox]

you need to vlog more

[@nicholasdeguzman7144]

Use the Nike Vaporfly’s Next %. Those Hokas won’t help nearly as much as the Vaporflys my friend

[@taraabbas9017]

We all agree steph’s feature in the ice bath is our favorite part

[@Punkyrooster6]

You should try the Cliftons. Very similar shoe with more durable rubber.

[@davidweiss8710]

el Monumento is good..also try Blue Corn Harvest in downtown Georgetown if you haven't Nick.

[@mcgeek4781]

“Fuck no. Nope. I’m done”. She’s awesome 😂

[@cowboyfunktion]

It's a pretty big gamble going out at sub-3 pace with such little experience in the marathon. I'm predicting a 1:30-1:31 half split, followed by hard blow up on the back half for a 3:30+ full. Will be impressed by anything sub 3:20.

[@cowboyfunktion]

Well, looks like I pretty much called it.

[@nasthek156]

2 hour long run one week before a marathon? With what purpose? If you are an experienced or pro marathoner it might be alright, but as somebody just venturing in his third/fourth marathon it could cause some unnecessary strain in your body. One week out of a marathon there is absolutely no areobic gain you can get from any workout, the job is already done. Would highly reconsider doing that long run if I was you man. Best of luck!

[@zsam1]

Nick you should get the new Nike 4% flyknit shoes for your marathon!

[@kchall5]

Given the miles you've run along with your weight, which I imagine is still around 200 lb, those shoes have held up pretty well.

[@tyrrellbailey1982]

Hey Nick, What does your strength training look like while you are doing your marathon training? Thanks

[@BT_Spanky]

The look she gave you when you said the water’s temp was about 38° 🤣🤣🤣

[@mckenzimiller4282]

Steph was hilarious 😂😂 'Holy pecan pie'

[@aintdatsnipes177]

Strong greens and field bars mandatory for the field,Army strong baby!

[@VinnyLogz]

In my oatmeal I do I packet of maple & brown sugar and half packet of cinnamon spice. Tea spoon of cinnamon and honey, blueberries, banana, teaspoon of mini Reece’s pieces, small handful of mini marshmallows, and a giant table spoon of Justin’s vanilla almond butter. Good god it’s so damn delicious!!!

[@mikemadison4951]

Ok, well first off I want to say that anything that follows is not to be considered "criticism". Secondly, I'm an old fart (60) and used to eat a lot more of what you're eating. That being said, in my entire life I extremely rarely ever ate breakfast. Not much for lunch and then pile it on for dinner. Seems to me like you eat pretty often and fairly large quantities - that's only my opinion ... Seems like in the endurance sport world everyone is all about low fat and high carbs. Let's face it, in your 20's you can eat WTH ever and your pretty bulletproof. As time and years go by though this doesn't seem to work out well. Good luck on your marathon! I have done several ... and quite a few triathlons, and a couple duathlons. I'm in Ohio, but have some friends a bit north of where your from in Pa (coal country) - a lot of good people there.

[@1234runwild]

Awesome video! Looking really cut with your shirt off!

[@sandro3390]

It's all in here!

[@mackmackay3149]

You should try out the new ACFT and see how u do
