[@infini.tesimo]

It's one thing to run for your country and get paid for it, it's an entirely different mentality to run for yourself because you need to prove to yourself that you can. I found myself running more and more after I left the military and getting in better shape. Perhaps it's because it is MY decision to be greater than I was yesterday rather than being forced to do it. A big difference in incentive.

[@motoxguy7]

I was a 10:30 2 mile and sub 1hr 10 mile runner in the Army. Hated running! I only ran when I was made to. I was forced into any type of race where I “could” wear some t-shirt to represent my unit. I just retired after 29 years and now I run more then I ever did and enjoy it!

[@Sulposition]

Eddie Hernandez that year is already taken, try 2024 ;)

[@fofa3232]

My best running pace is 13 min per mile. Although I weigh 255 pounds. I'm trying to lose weight to get faster🥴

[@pineapplegamer6986]

Yeah keep going progress is slow but worth it

[@ctca2403]

Heck yeah, well you’re running now👍. Staying with it consistently, over time is all it really takes. Listen to your joints and be prepared to take it lighter sometimes to avoid in injury. Like Nick says, shoot for a pace where you can still hold a light conversation for at least 80% of your running. You’ll def burn some calories with this running. The most intense running isn’t pulling much fat for fuel, from my understanding.

[@fofa3232]

Thanks for the advice guys!

[@docmason]

Hey Nick. I appreciate your videos. I am 52. Marathon PR 3:23 (BQ) at age 44. You are spot on about building aerobic base. A book by John L Parker called "Heart Rate Monitor Training for the Compleat (Misspelled on Purpose) Idiot" transformed my training back then . The key is truly going easy on your easy days, which allows you to really go hard on your hard days. The heart rate monitor forces you to go easy, and it does not lie. When you are getting sick, overtraining, dehydrated, etc., the heart rate monitor will reflect it, and keep you at a recovery pace. It was amazing how my recovery and tempo paces got faster and faster the more aerobic base I had. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Thanks.

[@robertoblampf9730]

You should make a video showing your stretching regiment pre and post run

[@chrismccoy4146]

I've been training for various sports for years and just have to say the aerobic base advise is spot on.

[@RehanJhaveri1999]

Does that mean you should train for a marathon before you consider running to get faster?

[@ovechkin102]

I just had a breakthrough run yesterday, what felt like the same effort ended up being 1 minute per mile faster! (8:45 for 8 miles, when I was usually 9:45+). Keep it up Nick you're always inspiring!

I have officially finished all of 578 videos that nick bare has posted.. I’ve had found his channel over a year ago and subscribed but didn’t actually start watching his videos until around September. I’d watch his videos without the sound on at work either the captions on but now I just watch them in my dorm and I realized that he plays music that I LOVE. He also reminded how much I truly loved running. Two years ago before I joined the Air Force I ran everyday, and lifted on top of that. Seriously ran 12-20 miles everyday and seeing him do just that makes me so motivated. I stopped these past few months bc it’s gotten cold and bc of the time change but he’s taught me to “suck the f*ck up* and I’m starting to get back into it. He may never see, but nick TRULY changed my life. I also ordered his book and it comes in tomorrow (:

[@williamalexander6887]

Oh man this comes at the perfect timing for me. I just started an 80/20 program this week and it feels wrong going slower but I know the gains will show up over the duration of it. I have been training at way to high of a zone and neglecting the base zones.

[@TheArtofme]

Ran a 7 minute mile for the first time in years yesterday. Stopped making excuses about being to muscular and heavy after I found yours videos about 4 weeks ago. I’m down 10lbs in that time also. Now 224lbs. Tempo treadmill runs have helped me loads.

[@livium2514]

Buddy how exactly did you get to 7min/mile? I wanna find a way to get there... Can you detail a bit? I'm at [e-mail]

[@livium2514]

How many miles you ran at 7min pace? How long did it take you to get there with practice? Where did you start in weight wise? We're you always a runner? What's your age category?

[@TheArtofme]

Liviu M I run 3 x week (currently on a treadmill so I can keep a consistent pace), 1 x 20 min tempo run, 1 min rest at the 10 min mark, I increase speed each session. 1 x Intervals, 400m @ goal pace (6 min mile) with 90 sec rest (I did start with gerschler fartlek before hand though, google it for more info), and 1 x 45/60 min run, again, I increase speed each session but not too fast that I can’t finish it comfortably. I’m aiming to increase speed and distance each week. I’ve recently adapted my running technique and it has helped big time.

[@livium2514]

@@TheArtofme I'm going to be 56 in February, age makes a difference but I am determined to improve. Played soccer all my life, had an indoor team for over 20 years, 5'10" never past 173-174 until last 10 years during which I got to 235 😣 Got into running, cycling, gym, now within year and a half I'm down to 195-200 and WANT to improve my stamina, I want more 😉

[@TheArtofme]

Liviu M I’m mid 30s, naturally athletic but not gifted at endurance. I’ve been running for about 4-5 weeks now. That was a 1 mile test. I’m naturally fast at sprinting but suck at any distance. I built up good stamina about 10 years ago whilst training in the military but have been sat at a desk ever since. I have a decent amount of muscle mass (and fat...) which did hold me back mentally until I found Nick’s channel which destroyed all of my excuses not to improve at running whilst maintaining muscle. I started at 237lbs. My goals are to get to 210, visible abs at a sub 20min 3 mile and sub 9min 1.5 mile. I lift weights 2/3 x a week also to maintain strength/muscle. (Just started doing full body sessions to see how it goes)

[@TheAlexSmmb]

Wow, this is exactly what I needed to hear! Currently active duty and trying to improve my running a lot and I've been in such a rut thinking the exact same thought of "why am I not getting better". The Army doesn't do a good job with teaching you how to get better (particularly in fitness); they just expect you too. Yours is a fresh/new perspective on it that I am now going to incorporate for myself/my juniors.

13 years ago I quit running. Last year, for my health, i picked running up again. I started all over and very slowly increased. 8 months of base building aerobic work. Then I started adding speed one day a week. It has worked brilliantly. My goal is to run Grandmas Marathon in under four hours. Im just under 3 months away. Today i ran a pace run at 9 minute miles for seven miles. It was easy. Im running over 40 per week comfortably. All because i spent the time building a base. Love your videos.

[@leanneeggenberger9127]

I think another thing a lot of people are afraid to do or don't like is to take walk breaks. No matter the speed/distance I am running, I always try to schedule in walk breaks..even if it's for 15-20 seconds. Maybe it is mental..but I swear I feel better during and after my runs and my time is often as good or better than if I didn't.

Hey Nick, just wanted to say I really like how you structure your videos into both a vlog and a discussion/topic. Great content! Keep it up!

[@changemymind8692]

"and coming from a background of running where it was just for the military and there wasn't much strategic programing in place to get better"...this is absolutely correct. The military runs you to the dirt without addressing the science behind running. I'm a better runner now than when I was in the military.

I honestly love this guys content. Great tips and the guy is committed.

[@JakubRosman]

This video helped hit it home for me. I spent too much time worrying about sprints and 60/120s and not going past 3.5 miles for my long runs. I learned to not approach running like lifting weights, where you should hit it hard when you do it. I took a slice of humble pie and started to incorporate longer slower runs while still incorporating speed work. The day after legs, I would do a light 3.5 Mile run at a 9 minute pace. I feel there is also a lot of overlap in running too. If I could run 2 miles in 14 minutes, 3 miles in say 23 minutes is easy.

[@CountryPleasure]

i love hearing about your journey during the interval, like you said, just gotta find yer groove and take your mind off the time, find a place, i've learned the hurt is nothing more than a distraction, and my body is capable of much more beyond the hurt if i can just take my mind off of it,, i need music during my run sessions tho, helps me find my happy place.

[@SOULJALOS]

the aerobic base part is so true. In just 3 weeks I've seen a difference. I always used to run 2 miles as fast as i could but i started doing 5k runs the last couple weeks (trying to build up to 10k runs) aiming around 8:45 per mile and just today i surpassed that with a 8 min per mile 5k run. The effort it took was slightly more and i mean slightly, but i felt more comfortable with my breathing and focus nonetheless due to getting that aerobic base down

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

I'm no 5+ mile marathon runner. But for me, I started jogging, when BPM got to 180+ due to bad fitness, I'd walk and rest until it dropped to 140 or so. When jogging didn't wind me, I started doing sprinting, up until I could do 12 x 100 sprints with 2 min rest followed by jogging (sprinting is the only way to really increase performance). But once you can jog a bit and can sprint a bit, you can increase whatever you want from there (low intensity jogging or sprinting) just get enough fuel beforehand.

[@fityetty]

I love your channel bro you seriously inspire me in so many aspects

[@felipepalmerola7108]

You should try the Wim Hof Method, highly recommended!!

First month of training i would highly suggest keeping 20 minute jogs as your goal to build up your tendon strength and shin and ankles and knees. Increasing mileage too quickly seems to be the way to get hurt and or discouraged with how hard it is at first to break 30 minutes

[@mustaphab.1190]

[@EdwinChenLoo]

You somehow get to inspire me even though i'm a bit older. Thanks for helping me and others. If you are going to make your gym space 4 times bigger, have you considered opening it to your current or potential customers? Kind of like a put a table with sample products and as people come to use the gym they might end up increasing your sales? You could also start giving classes. Sure it might end up being a lot of work but you could delegate this and document stuff on KZbin. You could do it one day per month or quarter. Also, how about organizing a yearly 5k run?

Build the base first at 12:00.......Very true...when you first attempt running just get comfortable running a comfortable pace for a few miles and go from there depending on what your goals are. If your a track runner, vs an ultra marathoner, different ball games, different training but they all do tempo, LSD's, Speed, hills etc training. Just the focus is on more of what their sport encompasses.

[@lucid484]

Do you always hop off the treadmill when you do the breaks between intervals? I always take my breaks at my easy run pace. So today I had interval training, I did a 5K (3.1 miles) at easy pace, then went into my first interval at VO2max for .25m, then .25m for easy pace and repeat 8 times which is basically 8 sets of 400 meters. then I do a cool down run. Altogether 7.3ish miles. But I never stop moving the whole time.

[@Leloni535]

Steven Fernandes you are doing it right my friend

[@lucid484]

@John Dillinger After some research I found there are two different techniques to intervals. An interval run with a pure rest period or an interval run with an easy pace jog (there are some online calculators for getting your paces). The intervals with pure rests are good for building up short distance speeds. The intervals with jog rests are good for building up speed and endurance for longer distance runs. When you start our its good to have equal intervals and rests. I do .25 mile (400meter) run at my near my top speed with .25 jog at my easy pace and do do that 8 times. I'm starting to transition into .50 mile intervals with .50 mile rests and when I can do that "comfortably". I'll cut the rests in half. But honestly it's fun to mix it all up and race wise where terrain is always changing it's good to keep your body conditioned to adapt to change.

This is perfect advice. Thank you!

I'd love to hear more about your recovery routine, Nick.

First video I’ve ever watched and I liked it ✅ needed some tips on my running

And my experience was just like yours. I did Augusta 70.3 in September and ran the marathon in Memphis in December. The big aerobic base that I had from my Ironman training really helped me with my tempo runs, mile repeats, and intervals in the 2 months leading up to my marathon.

my man misspelled running on the thumbnail with three "n"s lol

[@jasonrochon6223]

Would love to see a video on what your doing now for your nutrition, given your addition of endurance sports. That would be cool. Thanks!

Absolutely right thinking about the time kills times. Focus on breathing and rhythm and you'll kill it

Nice. In Bruce Lee's "The Art of Expressing the Human Body," he talks about building a foundation. It's specifically mentions how he went on long slow runs.

For me, I did A LOT of full body calisthenics, then runs at long distances, but at a slower pace...maybe like 9-10 min mile pace, then do high intensity runs like 30-60s then 60-120s (sprint as fast as you possibly can for 30/60 seconds then walk for 60/120 seconds). Doing all that helped me. Don’t skimp on those 60-120s that’s how you get better

[@abdeljadan553]

I'm a big fan of doing 5-10 sets of 30-30s, then doing a quarter/half mile run, and then repeating about four more times.
