STOP PUTTING HARD WORK ON A PEDESTAL | Ironman Prep S2.E22

[@nicholasflores8783]

Ultimate documentary of a rolled ankle.....

[@sethbelanger8460]

Right? Take it easy dude, we get it.

[@mr.champagne7712]

Life changing documentary...

[@ethanfelix9751]

I agree nick, but injuries happen and it is okay to rest and heal and get your body back to where it was, without pushing yourself too hard and evidently could end up with an even serious injury to where that next one could be uncontrollable

[@TriDaddy]

Something you learn when the injury is your brain.. (concussion). When you can’t see the injury or feel it, the body needs to repair for long term success.

[@Madztr5]

Lmao Nick’s “inspirational” speech is just him trying to excuse why he’s not listening to the doctor.

[@travisthompson9104]

I think it was in your first episode, when you were lacing up your shoes and stretching you mentioned not needing motivation or pep talks. You're right. You are wired different. Your "wiring" is motivation to an average person like me to not get stopped by fear or obstacles, but to pivot and overcome. I wish the hold world could see parts of this video and quit being afraid to work hard or act like they need to tell everyone in the office about the 50 pushups they did this morning. Thank you for being an example of what hard work earns you.

[@lukasparbst9655]

@@shipleyzimlich8032 when I ran track in high school we would have both the boys and girls teams out at the same time, both with easily 50-75 people on each team, and I dont think our team would be considered that big. If you have a full team out you cant fit everybody in just the first few lanes. And they were probably just practicing for like an hour or so, doesnt seem weird at all they were using the whole track

[@KinGTeraTino]

Damn 10yrs in the Army and I’m debating whether I way to get out or not. This video literally ties into “Fear Of The Unknown” so many parallels just pushing yourself no matter what it is, whether it’s decision making, running a business, working out! Making that point of intensity the standard.

[@Bell-vu1ni]

This is the best video I’ve seen in a while and now my favorite. Thank you for being a good role model.. especially for the younger fitness crowd like myself trying to get into the military

”Hard work” is simply continously showing up and doing the work. No excuses, just showing up every single time and doing it. Get motivated, set a goal and go at it. Day after day after day.

[@emely178able]

Love this! However, I think it's important to take into account that "hard work" may look different for different people. Depending on resources, knowledge, and other factors.

[@agnidas5816]

I legit did ankle strengthening exercises 1:45. I was also prone to it. It really helped big time. If you know you have weak ankles specifically - address it. Don't stay weak and sick. What other issues are you ignoring? A good time to consider and analyze and make a new plan while you got some time off running.

[@MCote123]

Most people will not/do not understand the mentality and the reasoning behind running those 14 miles on Saturday after the doctor said there is a 0% chance of that happening; however, Nick is not most people. It takes a special person to push through adversity to attain and accomplish a goal. Keep up the great work, Nick!

[@imasurfer2]

My man’s got a $10,000 cervelo but won’t go to see a real doctor?

[@GorillaDev417]

BOOM, just added this video to my KZbin Inspiration playlist after that hard work is my standard talk! Great stuff man!

[@jasminebrown7150]

Rolled my ankle completely on a track during a pt test a few years back, it turned purple and swelled up. I wore a compression brace. It took about 4-6 months to heal up completely. Take your time. Sit Indian style if you feel like it hurts or too much pressure, you probably shouldn’t be running. Cycle instead....

[@tristanliggett4088]

@@nate5773 I know. I probably know more about training than 99% of people as I’ve read COUNTLESS books on training whether that’s Summer if Malmo, Jack Daniels Distance Running Formula, etc etc. I’m just saying that a 2 mile warm up for anyone racing 800m and above is fairly common. Ofc if you’re a sprinter and you run the 60m-400m your warm up is going to consist of more drills than jogging, but yes, 2 miles is a common warm up distance.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Having watched a few videos and decided that Nick is a good and honest guy, I'm still very much on the fence with this whole channel. I run, look after myself and go to work and do a great job but does vanity have to play such a huge part of life. What you have, what you can buy, what you consume, how you look and is this really the best message for young people? I'm not saying I have all the answers but!

Brooo why are you wearing vapor flys on a track?? They are a road racing shoe meant for going straight. They have no lateral support. Also, no need to use them during training period. Just a tool to help in races

Because he wants to look ‘pro’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@diogogiglio]

Just look at the amount of people on the comment session telling him to chill and rest. They are not on the same page. Nick's mentality is the same of David Goggins' and others like Michael Phelps, Cristiano Ronaldo, thé Iron Cowboy, etc. Very few people understant their way of thinking. This has nothing to do with hard work; it has everything to do with mindset, discipline and self-commitment. Best episode so far.

Seeing the IG post you're referencing was a big perspective shift for me and I've adopted the line about putting hard work on a pedestal as a mantra I keep in my head now. Looking at it from this angle, glorifying hard work sounds as ridiculous as someone being surprised you would use a car to get from one point to another. Like yeah, that's just what you do. That's the vehicle that gets you from one place to another. There's nothing special about the mode of transport.
