How I went from someone who absolutely despised running to someone that runs marathons. In this video I introduce my new series called "Building to Two Fifty" where I will document my training for the Eugene Marathon on April 28th.
Thank you all so much for watching!

Why do you love running?

@JM-xb5sh

‘The more I ran the better my life became’ yes, this is exactly it, so grateful for all the gifts that just consistently running has brought into my life❤

@nicholasmckeiver5946

I’m a very competitive person, I run to compete against myself! Give me a sense of purpose, to always be better than my previous self, to set and beat a goal! It fuels my inner competition with myself.

@thijsburms9037

"The world is noisy, but when I run it's silent" captures what I love about running so well.. Thank you for this video, I was able to recognize so many things that I love about running and that make me go the extra miles and put in all the work with a lot of pleasure.. Good luck chasing your new goal!

@emilijalegzdina1937

I started running and didn't tell anyone, I wanted it to truly be me vs me because that is the hardest challenge to overcome- no one giving you advice, keeping you accountable and cheering you up. Good job with what you have achieved, we are all a part of a group that shares knowledge on why it's important, I hope everyone gets to experience it at some point❤

You genuinely inspired me to start running and not to sound dramatic but it has completely changed my life. It has done wonders for my mental health. I was always a terrible runner but just as you said, running is my time to think and it pushes me to be consistent and disciplined in a good way. Thank you for sharing your videos with us!! Learned so many tips from you too!!

@nromagnola

This video is super well done, congrats. I'm a 42 year old hybrid athlete training for my second marathon and your words are wise beyond your years. Thank you for the inspiration and good luck with your training!

@lamdkscdf

I can tell Nico devotes a lot of time to editing these videos and they're all top quality. Thanks Nico, we love you, you're a great inspiration to many, keep it up!

I totally resonate with this! I'm 42 and I've been an athlete my entire life. I grew up playing soccer, hockey (I was the only girl on my high school team), basketball, softball, and even tennis my junior and senior years of high school; however, I also always used to HATE running. I still did it occasionally to stay fit and in shape, but I wasn't always super consistent. Almost 2 years ago, my husband (who I had been with for a total of 22 years - ever since I was only 18) passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly from sepsis as a result of a bad infection. After being in a total funk for several months after his passing, I REALLY got into both running and weight training. My best friend had the idea that we should join the gym, so we did, and we've now been going 4-5 days per week consistently for the past 19 months and I go HARD. I fell in love with it. I run about 30-35 miles per week (both treadmill and outdoors) and I do about 4-5 hours of weight training per week and I'm now in even better shape than I was in my teens and 20s! Running and lifting have really become my outlet over these last couple of years and I guess you could kind of say that I'm addicted. I've also been dating an amazing guy for a little over a year now who is also into fitness and he really inspires and motivates me to keep going. My life is better than ever. I'd go absolutely insane if I didn't have running in my life! I'm currently training for my second full marathon this fall and I can't wait!

Thank you for this video. I am a 61 year old so probably not your average viewer. After a lifetime of being overweight, a few years ago I decided to do something about it and lost over 110 lbs. Since then I have been working on my fitness and recently decided to try running. I have set myself a goal of running a 5km park run without stopping and without walking this year. I have managed to run 5km on the treadmill a number of times and I ran a 5km outside just the once. My pace would be laughable to most but from where I have come, I am really pleased. Your video has inspired me to keep pushing and improve myself, even at my age.

@isabel116

it was so refreshing to hear how candid you were about your eating disorder/ life struggles and equally inspiring to see the perserverance. you clearly have it in you, nico!

@hennessy4314

My motivation ❤

@SlavboiiMusic

I want to thank you for your yt shorts, it may appear meaningless but they really have an impact in my life. As a teen I’ve always been chubby and i didn’t like my body, but i did love eating a lot. I started running 2-3 years ago to stay in shape but was nothing serious, and i could not see many results. Then one day youtube recommended me your shorts about what you eat in a day and thought, jesus christ this guy eats a lot and look at his body, and they really motivated me to keep running. As a result i can say 2023 was the year of my rebirth: i don’t run marathons but i improved my running, i can sustain long distances, my bode changed and i now finally am more confident and more important i can now regulate my diet better, and all thanks to a rabdom guy on yt who shares the shit ton of food he eats. Thank you, and please don’t stop doing these, they really helped me.

@ebonybryant5681

I used to hate running too, I was in the military and hated those stressful morning runs lol. But once I got out after a couple of years I just got a weird desire to start to try running, and actually started to love it. It’s one of the most beautiful, simple things you can do. Yes you need technique, and ways of going about it but there’s something so beautiful about just putting one foot in front of the other. Keeping your head forward, and going ahead.

@villisika3

Thank you for talking so openly about your struggles, I also have been having trouble in life but running and weight training have helped me through the worst part. You have been a huge inspiration for me past couple of months, and for that I thank you. So excited for this new series

@Cole99ipod

Nico I used to run cross country and track in high school and once I got to college it was hard for me to keep up. Once I started battling with mental illness I gave it up completely. You have inspired me to train for my first marathon

@LopezBOT90

Love the story man. Just started running months ago and now I am gearing for a half marathon first ever. Hardest part was knowing how much I hated running but loved structure. As a hockey guy, running fills that void in my 30's.

@Ray-dd3lj

A sub 3 hour marathon in only 5 months training is mental, good stuff

@valerieskates

I have thoroughly loved watching your videos - been watching since the Chicago Marathon series and have since rewatched all of your videos. You really push me and inspire me! Thank you for sharing your story (ED included - I can understand how tough that is to get through!) and it is super encouraging to see you keep pushing your boundaries. You make me want to move out west and just run and inspire others full-time, LOL. Keep running the good fight, running the race of endurance.
