The Sub 3-Hour Marathon | Nick Bare

[@ObesetoBeast]

What I’ve gathered from this is the ONLY reason I am not running sub 7 minute miles is because I don’t have a man yelling at me from a golf cart. CONGRATS MAN!

Facts

[@kylelay6858]

My first sub 3 is the most intense memory of my life. My mom had passed 2 weeks prior, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and they gave her at least a year to live & she made it about 2 months. I turned the corner and saw my 8.5 month pregnant wife cheering me on and the clock read 2:57, I cried my eyes out the past 200 meters. It was the hardest thing I’d ever accomplished and my life was the cheering me on. There was a 0 percent chance I wasn’t hitting my goal that day

I've ran 10 marathons. Seen lots of different body types on the course but never seen a guy with this kind of muscle structure even attempt to run sub 7 minute miles for a full marathon. Only other guy that I can think of with a similar upper body build as Nick that has ran a 3 hour marathon range is Tom Holland (author of the Marathon Method). This is beyond impressive and as a guy myself that has always held a lot more upper body muscle mass (mostly in the chest) Nick is making me believe that a Boston qualification is possible. Amazing that he did this with no crowd and no headphones... Just one crazy guy screaming at him from a golf cart. Lol.

Pretty easy to run a marathon distance in under 3 hours when the track is completely flat with running partners to push you. What, is he hoping the Boston Marathon qualifying officials will see this and take pity on him that he can't actually run a sub-3H at an official marathon?

[@mumberto3557]

@@thepsychologist8159 why are you spamming this, id like to see you run just a mile

[@thepsychologist8159]

@@mumberto3557 "id like to see you run just a mile" - Well I went for a 6 mile (10km) run this morning, so I guess that pretty much nullifies your argument. - When I completed a marathon in under 3H, I was operating my own business and at the same time, I was the primary care-giver of my three young children. Nick Bare doesn't have any kids, he has every opportunity to train, but he still can't run an official sub--3H for the marathon. Hint: if Nick Bare dramatically reduced the weight training and reduced his overall weight and body mass, he'd achieve his goal of running an official sub-3H for the marathon... but he won't, because he wants to look like a macho-man at the same time. As they say, "Jack of all trades, master of none". - Why am I spamming this? Because Nick Bare is not a runner, in fact, he's far from it and he's often stated this. He is, and always will be, just a body builder. So why does he attempt to try and be a runner? Because he's like one of those pathetic wanna-be's who wants to be seen that way, that he can be like the elites. He sees himself as some type of leader, or that he has leadership qualities, just because he served in the military (in one of the lowest rankings). Everything he says, everything he does, he takes or has taken from all the other running coaches and yet he portrays that he developed the concepts himself and not once does he acknowledge where he learned it from. Sh!t, how old is he? He talks and acts as if he's lived on this planet for over 50 years. He acts as if he's got the wisdom of Solomon, yet in reality he has the naivety of a freshmen. - The sheer fact that he's tried to take a leaf out of Kipchoge's book to run an 'assisted' marathon. Oh please, how pretentious. It makes me laugh that he treated this as a 'marathon' when it's a 'marathon distance' (big difference) and even Kipchoge acknowledged this when he achieved the sub-2H. Nick Bare has never run a sub-3H at an official marathon event and because he knows he'll likely never achieve it, to avoid embarrassment he then has to do something like this to 'prove' he can do it. No, No. He can't do it. As I said, it's easy (easier) to run a marathon in under 3H when it's a completely flat track with pacing assistance. Why do you think professional coaches instruct a runner to run at their 'tempo' pace on a flat track? Why do you think elite runners do 'easy runs' on a flat track? - Nick Bare has a superiority complex and I just love it how in every second vlog, he has to mention that he's a CEO (self appointed of course) or that he's been flying around the country .... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Ah, reality check Nick, that information isn't necessary or even relevant to the topic, so why even say it, unless you have an elevated ego? - Nick Bare seriously needs to stop trying to be like others (who are and will always be better than him), stop trying to be someone he's not and, he seriously needs to give himself a reality check and lose the elevated ego (wrapped in a superiority complex). - Nick Bare needs to understand others have achieved all these things, but still remain humble and have such humility, and they don't need to mention a single word. Why? Because actions speak louder than words - by their achievements alone, they are respected.

[@thepsychologist8159]

Yes, along with the fabricated marathon distance (not an official marathon) on a flat track, he was doing his best to erase the memory of his failed attempt at the 2020 Austin Marathon to prove to the world he could run a sub-3H. Come forward to his 'success' at the Buffalo Marathon, he now needs to go back and run the Austin Marathon that's kicked his ass twice, to prove he can run that course in sub-3H

@@sebastianholmes5020 Still a good effort. I'm sure you've got your own training plan, but the one key element to training for a marathon is easy-pace long runs. When I went from running half-marathons to full marathons, this is the key thing I focused on - time under feet. I also did more strength training because you need your core to hold up, especially after the 30km mark (this is when many people start to suffer because their body begins to fail). I know someone who's pretty good for the HM (1:43:00) but really trails off for the marathon (4:30:00). When I asked him about his training for the marathon, he said he really didn't put in much more training than for the HM. And looking at his times, I could see after 25km and especially from 30km, his km/mile times just kept getting slower and slower.

Fair play to you that's a bloody impressive time!! Got any training tips for someone like who is about to go for a sub 4hr time? 🤣

[@justinhazard7533]

WAY TO GO NICK!! Hard work and commitment pays off, and you're living proof man!!!

[@elviss13]

everyone else missed the memo about shirts being optional

[@TheDomLouis]

Nick's USP is being shirtless. The body gets YT clicks.

[@buttsniffa7469]

Especially the girl...

[@adampettijohn5040]

I love this man. I had a friend tell me I was too big to run fast and I sure proved him wrong. So happy I am not alone. Muscle guys can run!

[@jedricreyes6581]

Anyone ever see Nick run and you’re just like “Gosh I wish I had pecs like his”

[@elstingergt3374]

Hop on some gear and you can do it too. Just gotta put in the work.

[@MegaBob2111]

@@elstingergt3374 he is def on something but he is also one of the hardest workers I have ever seen

[@souponsoap543]

You guys are stupid asf if you think nick is on gear.

[@DaraHes]

@@souponsoap543 do you genuinely think he is natural? If you’re not being sarcastic, I am baffled..

[@ikrampicaso920]

@@souponsoap543 no you’re fuckin stupid and naive if you think nick is natural, not taking anything away from his hardwork but he is clearly on gear

[@scottnglsh]

You're such an inspiration. I'm in the military as a medic right now up in Canada. Just signed up for my first full marathon in September. Never run more than a half marathon (PR around 1:30). Super excited!

[@austinloveless5171]

Is it weird I've been nervous waiting to see that you got sub 3? Congrats!

[@zackeriley2010]

I am glad you had such an outstanding support network at your marathon. With you going through Ranger School, I seriously doubt you needed it. Nick, congratulations on yet another personal record in your life. You motivate more people than you will ever know.

[@ItsZohn]

I commend anyone who can run long distance, the mental toughness alone required for it is crazy

[@dmarcusrossRN]

Man it’s a blessing to see your smash your goal ! I remember when you started training for your first iron man and now you’re cruising sub 3 hour marathons! Huge inspiration

[@thepsychologist8159]

"and now you’re cruising sub 3 hour marathons" - Incorrect. A marathon distance, not a marathon (event). A marathon distance on a completely flat track with buddies to help him along the way is a whole lot easier. I await his 'official' sub-3H marathon time at an 'official' marathon event.

[@dux_bellorum]

I'm so happy he finally did it! Now time to go one more Nick!

[@truth-Hurts375]

Running a marathon without a shirt with race number 1.....this guy is a fake !!

Had to rewatch this before my first ever marathon today. Going One More!

[@sarawebster3382]

I felt like I was watching a Netflix documentary. The cinematography was top notch. Congrats man

[@thepsychologist8159]

"The cinematography was top notch" - Yes, along with the fabricated marathon distance (not an official marathon) on a flat track, he was doing his best to erase the memory of his failed attempt at the 2020 Austin Marathon to prove to the world he could run a sub-3H. Come forward to his 'success' at the Buffalo Marathon, he now needs to go back and run the Austin Marathon that's kicked his ass twice, to prove he can run that course in sub-3H

[@antoniomartin336]

Everyone needs a coach as fired up as yours. Good shit Nick.

[@cheeesehh]

Crazy how his running form drops at the end. Great running Nick!

[@patrickdewhurst3378]

lol, chafing and exhaustion will do that

[@cheeesehh]

@@patrickdewhurst3378 figured it might be chafing 😂

[@NikkidooDoesLife]

Nick knows all about pain after completing his 100 mile ultra! This guy is a legend.

[@shingoh5320]

Congrats Nick! I also started my journey to do a Full Ironman and also attempting to do a 50 mile Ultra soon. I'm much older than you but never too late to chase your dreams.

[@1aZoOs]

This is unbelievable, you are a real life spartan. It's easy being lean and running a marathon but the amount of muscle mass you're carrying and being able to run sub 3 hours....... I have no words literally.

[@soniqtriathlon7500]

congrats from Germany, Nick! That was a hell of a job! Sub 10 hours are coming, baby.

[@sydneywren101]
