What’s striking to me is how lean Nick has gotten between Marathon 1 and this one, shows the commitment to this goal

[@soundbar8826]

Yeah legs were like tree trunks in the first one

[@marcopaciolla6605]

But then what the fuck is the point? It's not like hes blowing anyone away with a sub 2:50 but going sub 3 as a chunky muscle monster was pretty cool and unique

[@lechef3878]

@@marcopaciolla6605 you think going sub 2:50 isn’t ‘blowing anyone away’? Do you know how difficult and rare that is for an amateur runner?

[@JStock1032]

@@lechef3878 He's got a point. You both do. But if Nick wants to run fast, he's going to have to give up a lot more mass.

Brother you are a huge inspiration. You inspired me to start running. I started off at 300+ pounds and now going down and in my 220’s and counting and started running recently and just competed in my first 5K and got 29:57 time at a 9:44 pace and I DID NOT STOP RUNNING the entire time and I’m stoked about it. Thanks for everything and congrats on your achievement!

What helped you to run without walking? I can do a 5k but i need to walk every few minutes

[@DeltaDxE]

@@oussamachaouch9568 I was faced with hills nonstop. Biggest thing for me as cliche as it sounds was mental strength. I’m paying for it today with cramps in my calves but I gave it my all. I went into the race telling myself I didn’t care about the time or anything my ultimate goal was to NOT stop running and I had to dig deep but short answer is that it was just all mental.

It's so crazy how you just have a whole team dedicated to YOUR goal. How the hell do you find other people who care so much about YOUR goals? I lift alone, I run alone, I compete alone, and I'm pretty sure most people are in the same boat as me. I couldn't pay someone to go to a marathon with me not even a family member lol. You dont know how blessed you are. Amazing video nick nothings better than watching people work hard for a goal then watch it all pay off as they achieve it

Just ran the Leadville trail marathon this past Saturday. My first marathon ever. A lot harder than I expected, rolled my ankle on mile 19. What kept me going was the “go one more” hat I wore. I had to walk the last 7 miles but i finished. This man is a true inspiration. Thank you Nick.

Watched this right before New York last week. Started to feel a cramp at mile 23 - the final 5 minutes of this popped into my head. I thought of all the work I had put in and the sacrifices I made to make it possible, and made it through the sub-3:30 barrier. Keep inspiring and pushing us NB

[@iboneic13]

I've been one step behind you this whole journey and our stories match pretty well! 3:47 my first race: hired a coach. Hit a wall for a 3:06: re-strategize nutrition and training. Solid 2:56 last race, and now hoping to break 2:50 in Philly. Thanks for all of the inspiration! It's been great watching your journey!

There is something about a race morning that I will always love. Waking up at like 330 knowing that three hours away you will be starting a race and in the pain cave. The raised jitters, mixed with the pre-fuel breakfast and caffeine is something else. Being up before everyone else and knowing that you will achieve something great is quite extraordinary and something that mini don’t get to experience so always be grateful

Haha, as a long-time runner and racer, I've always hated the pre-race anxiety I would get. Especially before big races, it would be on my mind for days to weeks leading up to it. The most satisfying thing for me was finishing, and then, I would finally be able to enjoy the whole experience. I'm glad you can find joy in the moments before. I've always relished the moments immediately after a race.

[@Evan.b2b]

Loved the marathon prep series I did my first half marathon the same day you did this, you’ve taught me so much about working out. I started watching you’re videos over 4 years ago as a fat 280lb 19 year old couldn’t hardly run a 15 min mile, I’m now a 225 and 23 years old and can run a 6 min mile. You’ve helped change my life. Congrats and good luck with the baby. I hope you’re able to go all in with another race prep. You helped make me obsessed with running, I signed up for 3 more half marathons over the summer lol.

[@spencedaddy1919]

As a longtime runner myself, I understand that there is a MASSIVE difference between a 4 hour marathon vs. 3:30 vs. your sub-3 vs. this incredible 2:48 in Buffalo. I've often found in my racing, whether it's a 5K or 100M ultramarathon, that the overall number just sounds like a number that doesn't mean much. But then when you break down the splits of what that means, you see people's eyes get big. Put another way, there are so few runners who can even run 6:20 pace for a 5k (roughly a 19:40 5k time). You just did that for an entire marathon. I also appreciate the way you rallied with the hamstring cramp. I've been in that spot myself between mile 22 and 24 and had to stop and stretch. You controlled your mind brilliantly there--because it's so easy to make it almost an existential crisis. You're seeing your goal potentially slip away and it makes you question not only running but other things you're pursuing in life. It can spiral. You still finish, but you can lose minutes those last few miles. You avoided that and found that next level. None of us will ever know how it felt or what you were thinking in that moment, and it's amazing to be on the journey with you through the video--which really highlights that accomplishing an endurance feat like this isn't all sunshine and rainbows...otherwise it would just be about talent and fitness and not the mental component.

[@joeyschultzfitness]

Showing up everyday- and committing to excellence. This is why you reach every goal you set for yourself. Go One more baby!!

[@chalklet33]

I recently run my first marathon and it took me 4hr56 to finish. I made many mistakes in training and on actual race day. Even though I’m still proud of finishing it, you taught me that I haven’t put nearly enough work/discipline to expect a good result, however if I do, which I will, I can do much better. We all start somewhere, and we can all reach a goal which makes ourselves proud by putting in the work 🤗
