[@dylanveigel]

[@Warfle91]

Bro you are an inspiration. I can watch your videos for hours. I been training for my first marathon in April in Nashville and you put out a lot of great info. Can’t wait to hear where you are running your next marathon.

[@rebecca0725]

Big fan of this, it’s great to see your personality in a longer video like this and I can almost guarantee I’ll watch every video of this series!

[@nico.felich]

I appreciate you!!

[@yessahblessah5359]

Best video I’ve seen on KZbin in a minute. The cinematography and esthetic and everything was so well done. Also super inspiring and fun to watch!

[@nico.felich]

Huge compliment thank you so much!

[@jodieclarke6387]

Love the vibe of this video. Some top advice there. Been running for nearly 5 years now - one marathon down but I have a goal to complete 10 half marathons by the time I'm 30 and this October I'll be on my 6th. Run strong brother and enjoy the journey

[@Mano77771]

Incredible effort put into this man! I’m running the 2024 Los Angeles marathon with a group of my students and will begin training with them in the fall. We have about 9 months or so to prepare. I’m definitely going to incorporate what you shared into our training!

[@qwuwy]

Hey nico I still watch your videos I get so inspired you really helped me because I was not in the best time in life when I was around 10 years old now I am 11 and I have everything that I ever wanted or needed. You inspired me to get off my couch and start exercising! Thanks you really help!

[@nico.felich]

Thanks so much for the message🙏🏼

[@qwuwy]

@@nico.felich No thank you for all ways being there for when I need a quick boost of motivation! Keep being yourself

[@annabelleschade170]

This is awesome!! Keep up the great work! 🙌

[@neelpimpalkhute5242]

Hyped for next week❤❤

[@ellenycnyc]

I just ran sub-3 (2:58:56) this past Sunday and my previous PR was 3:20! You got this !!! Consistency is key 🙌

[@nico.felich]

Incredible time!!!

[@corrvvette]

6:02 the struggle to get the pizza, i felt that. Great video! I got some laughs out! Im 12 and not training for a marathon, but i still enjoy your context. I get a lot of motivation and advice from you on your shorts. Keep posting! Love the videos

[@nico.felich]

Appreciate the support Fr🙏🏼

[@MuseFoxs]

Awesome stuff! I love the editing and angles, can't wait for more of these, and to run my first 1/2 marathon this summer following your advice!

[@nico.felich]

More to come! Thanks for the support

[@MuseFoxs]

@@nico.felich A question about prep, how do I determine the amount of miles I need to do, do I just build upon what I'm currently running or do I start with something specific?

[@nico.felich]

@@MuseFoxs eventually you’ll want to build to about 50-60 miles a week. But start with 25-30 a week and gradually increase mileage as the weeks/month’s progress.

[@MuseFoxs]

@@nico.felich Got it! Thanks a lot

[@neelpimpalkhute5242]

Loved the video pls keep making long videos❤❤

[@JesusMartinez-wf1cj]

Love to watch your journey ❤

[@jakefromstatefarm1599]

I’ll be completely honest I’ve been slacking on running, haven’t done it in over 6 months😬, this video and you in general have motivated me to get back in it. Thank you❤️

[@nico.felich]

It’s never too late! So glad the video helped you🙏🏼

[@jesswhitfit3981]

You rock bro! Keep up the amazing content! You got me back into running; even as a bodybuilder who despises cardio, lol!

[@nico.felich]

Let’s go!!! Thanks so much for the support🙏🏼

[@AaronBailey]

Awesome video dude!

[@emotionalstability]

I love the idea of enjoying the journey rather than hyper focusing on the end goal. More vids please! 😃

[@plichus3522]

Omg, I live in Chicago! It would be so cool to see you in person

[@AlexMunoz-wh3nf]

I love the conclusion of this vid :))

[@k4fkaesqu3]

Awesome video man, keep it up you're really inspiring. I'm quite curious what is your resting heartrate and has it gone down a lot since you started running a lot?

[@OK-wu4dk]

Great video bro I just got into running. I've been training at the gym for like 4 years but my endurance sucks haha. My goal is to become a triatlethe. Wish you all the best god bless

[@jacoblawson6407]

awesome video, much love bro

[@williamchappell116]

Beautiful place to train, really great video

[@mahedgefundco2342]

Men, at the beginning I felt weird how I run because I understood the arm movement. Seems no one talk about it. I follow some pages on IG, but when I saw one video I was… this guy runs like me. Even when u run with others u can see it. I get it, styles vary but I just want to say thanks and keep it up man! Great stuff

[@tilmanvids742]

inspirational stuff! love your content. keep it goin!! one question: how many weekly miles should I get in? does it depend on my goal time?

[@davidtarallo11]

BPN Family. Let’s go!

[@nico.felich]

Yessir!!

[@dalm7]

Wow Nico! Love you Bro! This video, let’s goooo, first of many ???

[@nico.felich]

YES!

[@noahhelmuth3291]

Great job with this one! I know you said you will continue this series, so keep it going great work. Can you do a video on maybe Insta or the Tok on how to lose weight and build muscle?

[@jjnrmason]

Good luck. Ran my first marathon this year at 20 years old. 2:53:23. My number one tip is consistency and nutrition. Hit the wall Mile 16 due to lack of fuel. Sub 2:40 in December here we go.

[@mouayedalsinani7664]

U da best dude❤️

[@ambernicholson316]

Can you do a marathon training plan please? How many times a week we should be running, do you do strength training as well? How many speed runs, recovery runs etc? I’ve got my first marathon in 15 weeks, so I need to be training like now 😂😂 thanks! (Also great cinematography🤙🏻)

[@doughydoughboy3019]

I've actually been wondering do you track your calories/macros when training? Also if you do strenght days at the gym, when do you implement them in your training(lower or higher mileage days)? Great video btw!

[@hapaise2924]

Love you shorts and now the videos too :) I am training for my first half marathon in Oct as well. How do you know how much you weekly millage because it gets really confusing with different workouts, millage recovery etc?

[@pquirke]

Great videos, what watch device do you use for running?

[@nikowetherington1814]

My guy said: movies suck so I'm making my own. PS: Can I just say Nico working with BPN AND getting coached by Jeff is such a world's collide moment.

[@tiffanykile8644]

This was a great video! Thanks for not wrecking the car 😂

[@ALZAVIANJ]

“If your not having a good time your doing wrong” TRUE BUBBA! 😅🙌

[@spzb14]

I live in AZ as well, what time do you usually go running especially during summer months? Also do you recommend running in treadmills, like it is the same as running outside? awesome video btw.

[@HeyItsMaori]

I am training for the marathon right now! My goal is just to finish. This is my first marathon and running training of any kind.

[@christiankjellman3703]

A “fartlek” is Swedish for “Speed-game” - btw, love your videos, keep on crushing.

[@Evmanz]

Really good job on the video! Whenever I mention I'm doing a fartlek to one of my friends who doesn't run they get so confused 😂

[@ljac_1314]

love the Oakley sunnies!

[@campbellstites7095]

Hey nico, great vid, what is the drone you used to film vacaville????

[@nico.felich]

I used the dji mini pro 3

[@shellygrace6415]

I am from TikTok and this video is really good you have to post more

[@nico.felich]

Many more to come!

[@miverick86]

hey man, just curious in the video you mentioned not using Hoka shoes, can I ask why? just personal preference and not a fan?

[@xen0cidal417]

Dude I stumbled across your videos and noticed, that Tropical Smoothie place you went to is 2 minutes away from my house. You ever hit up the Village Ocotillo club next to it?

[@JacobKessler]

Great video! What’s the camera rig you use to record with?

[@nico.felich]

I used the Sony A7iv with a 16-35 lens and the drone was a DJI mini 3 pro

[@lilyweinberg8635]

are you doing any lifting or any other workouts in addition to the running?

[@adamt1905]

Love this guy. Keep it up

[@nico.felich]

Thanks Adam!

[@saadthraya3221]

I would like to ask i use to have wavy hair but for the last 3 years it has been curling up a lot like tight curls, i just want to know if u know any ways to loosen up hair. And i would also like to ask if u have more curly or wavy hair Thank you.❤

[@BellaSlack-fj4hf]

Curious as to why you won’t use hokas to run? Every pair of shoes was fly as usual haha

[@JasonNavarro023]

Can you do a editing tutorial on how you edit your videos?

[@fletcherhove5930]

Hey I am wondering what is a good shoe for my first year of cross country?

[@human_best_friend]

Is training for half marathon based around the same top three tips you mentioned?

[@carlamealha792]

hey! what sunglasses do you use?

[@Owen.Turner]

Hey I just finished my track session and am getting ready to start my training for my cross country season. I was wondering what shoes I should get? we do a combination of trail and road running

[@nico.felich]

I love the invincible run 3s they are great for long miles and they are super durable!

[@harvard004]

Should the long run be at easy effort?

[@Adriansyah1995]

Do you think its enough if my longest run is 32km and longest weekly mileage is 60km?

[@user-ts2vl9gf5g]

Why no Hoka shoes? Curious

[@mysticumbreonPokemonAMV]

3ed Tip - Enjoy the Journey, Don't focus on others It's you're Journey It's you're way...❤❤❤❤😊😊

[@tareksamaali5876]

Hey Nico, been watching your videos and shorts on KZbin for a while now and even though I've been running for a while I find them extremely refreshing and instructive. One tip I shall give you : Marry your girlfriend ! You don't have any idea how it is hard to find someone who is that supportive in your endeavors. Also, An additional heartbeat couldn't hurt you that much in your intensive training could it ? ;) God bless you and good luck !

[@landonmurray8285]

Awesome video!! FYI it is illegal to take rocks and any other natural resources from National Parks. Other than that keep up the good work!! 😂

[@icecreambodyrolls]

I'm running a 10k in July. Last year I tried it for the first time and almost died 💀. Using these tips though

[@BasmatiCake]

A+ video. Slightly disappointed that you used a scene from the Hobbit film when referencing lord of the rings. Other than that, love it 😍

[@nico.felich]

Hahahah good catch😂

[@BasmatiCake]

[@RedGoobler]

How to train for your first marathon: 1) Walk around el Cap 2) Have an unenthusiastic girlfriend 3) Eat some pepperoni pizza 4) Fly a drone 5) Get your hair done 6) Run 40 miles per week

[@antoinecharlesdegaulle580]
