You can only give 100% Nick. In the real world not every story has a fairytale ending but look where the journey has got you. Always another race.
Spoiler alert
you ran wayyyy over youre head. you are not in aub 220 shape. it just how the marathon goes. spend time with your family , and step away from running for a while. then come back
@@B1000ad😂😂
I was aiming under 3:30, at 35k i was predicted at 3:28:20. It crashed me so hard, i ended up at 3:36. I have three kids. Giving everything in Training. But i did not have it in the end. But im proud. I will do my 3:29:xx - and you will do yours 2:19:xx - maybe next year! Go!
Great effort mate - That is the beauty of the marathon: It's really not that simple! Everything can and will happen!
Well done 😊
It’s all about Marathon buddy… 30 km of warm up and 12 km of race ! Great effort! Congrats!
You missed your goal by less than what Eliud did. Epic effort! You'll get it next time.
The most real post race thoughts ever - big respect for that! No excuses just honesty
2:22. That’s an absolutely sick time. Very consistent splits. Sub 5:30 pace. Superb performance, congrats.
Congrats Nick. Concentrate on your awesome achievement of achieving 2.22. Only a select elite few ever reach this level. Please stay in the marathon zone. "Simply the Best"
I started back my running journey Dec 2022 : my first marathon 3:40 in LA 2nd ran 3:05 Santa Rosa next sub 2:59 cmi Dec 3rd ! Just qualified for Boston it’s been a quite ride so far along the way inspire many runners and coach a few etc - mate: good luck and have fun doing it . One peace of advice besides the long runs and tempos running make sure you don’t forget track
Did 2:59.51 wow just magical can’t wait for Boston my dream 2:53 🤞🏿🏁🖤🙏🏽
Great effort! So consistently close to sub 2.20 and most consistent runner on you tube.. period..
Just unlucky you didn’t have the pack of runners around you for the last 5k.. not ideal to be isolated but you will achieve your sub 2.20 goal, that’s a definite and good fighting spirit you have as well👍
That was me with the specters 16:26 The one you passed as say i started “struggling” 😅
The fact that u gave your very best itself is a winner 🏅 god bless u
Amazing work mate. I love how you encourage all runners no matter what their level!
Still great Nick! rooting you from Indonesia
No regrets! You did amazing Nick. Berlin 2023 was my very first marathon ever, and I can only imagine what a feeling it would be to reach your level. Onwards to sub 2:20!
You win some and some you win!!! This one, you won!! You gave it your all and spared nothing! Awesome job Nick!! Truly 😎👊🏻🤙🏻
Amazing .. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
Wow, this really shows what the marathon is all about and that you never know untill it's over 😮! But whatever happened, that was an epic day and a great performance 👍🏻!
Well done mate, absolutely love the channel. Motivated me to restart running, lost 17lb and running my first half marathon in 3 years next month!
Love the grind, love the results, love the positivity
Incredible!! Love hearing it and keep going!!
I have been watching your videos for months, i didn't know you from SA.
Keep it up mate, you are an inspiration.
Nick you are the best.
Saw you on TV Live and i be like, that's Nick ! for many times!
you are amazing nick!... waiting for what you do next.
Rest , enjoy family and then think in another. 👏👏💪💪
Amazing Nick. Love the channel and what you bring to the community. Cheered you on at KM 23 and was rooting for you to hit that sub 2:20. You have 100% got this in your wheelhouse. Looking forward to your return for the 50th anniversary. Know you gonna smash it then for sure 🏃♂️👏.
Thanks, that was an awesome run and great video. Great time. Love that you stayed on the line to support those that came after.
Congrats Nick for the incredible race. sub 2:20 will soon come.👏👏
You're such an inspiration Nick. Showing your high and your low. I am preparing La Rochelle Marathon (in France) in 2 months, your video is giving me a lot of motivation to smash my PB
You will get it. It's within reach! Thanks for sharing so much with us. The marathon is just as mental as it is physical. That's what makes it crazy.
There's one sentence that pops out for me: NO REGRETS ... you gave it all and that's the goal. But what better then the 50th edition to better your PB .... looking forward already ;)
Great effort. Yes, 2024, or sooner! :)
hard work always pays off
You gave it all Nick and didn't go down without a good struggle. Some day you'll get your sub 2:20 Saw you right before the start on the live stream :)
Thanks for sharing your journey Nick. Don't give up.
19:25 that mixed feeling... congrats mate, amazing run and amazing effort in the end! keep it rolling you will make it if you want it so hard! best to you Nick! inspiring!

Nick you smashed it. you might not have had the time on Sunday but you will come back stronger and better next time. it ended up being a very hot day and that doesnt help. keep smiling buddy
Cheers Nick I’m crying again. There are so many key takeaways from this in terms of advce for us runners - thank you! (I’m now taking my pillow to Valencia!) We are all rooting for you, it will come - for now… it’s family time. All the best bro 👊🏻
Take your pillow with you and you’ll smash Valencia out the park! What a race that is!!
Congratulations nick

There are more marathons to come, you will get there champ.
Man you're such a positive person it's contagious. Started running thanks to your inspiring content!! Keep up the good work, im sure you'll get sub 2 20' next year. Greetings from Brazil !!!
It WILL come buddy, it will come! Another inspiring video, time is only time, what you put in in all you do is far more valuable. Let’s go Nick!
S
I'll be doing my first ever marathon next year and am slowly building up the distance right now.
Your videos give lots of inspiration, lots of knowledge and the reality of marthon training and racing.
Thank you, although it kind of scares me, I can't wait to start the actual marathon training.
Ur an inspiration brother!
Great effort Nick. The answers will come from within. I feel you will do it when you least expect it.
And fantastic time from Charlotte.
You did amazing, and the way you portrayed your experience here is amazing too, loved the video whole way through
Beautiful bro, such a beast of an athlete. Your determination is awe inspiring. Heres to the next 1! You'll get it
Awesome mate. Well done. 🎉
You are an inspiration Nick. You WILL get your sub 2:20, just keep on “truckin”. Congrats on an amazing race in Berlin🎉 Be well
Amazing effort, Nick! Kept a close eye on your splits throughout the whole race and really wished you a sub 2:20 race. It didn’t happen at Berlin but it will come soon enough! Keep at it, keep spirits high as you always do and let’s continue the grind for a sub 2:20 finish! Wishing you all the best!
Gutted for you, but you gave it your absolute all and no one can ask for any more than that! Your vlogs are a joy to watch - your enthusiasm is infectious!
Well done Nick!!!.
You're awesome. Amazing effort! Keep on running. You are a great inspiration. Greetings from Colombia. 👍👏👊
Amazing effort and outcome Nick - you should still be so proud of the work that you put in. Just goes to show that there's no way around the fact that the marathon has to be respected!
Incredible, so inspirational!!
Nick - your mentality is amazing. No excuses and pushed to 100% - The amazing thing about this prep is that you've given 100% to everything in your life; Family, Running and Business. This has just given me the motivation to go smash my goals, not only on the track but in my personal life too. So if you want to take away a victory - you have a victory in me. Thank you.
It's a pleasure and remember no one is going to get it, except you! So go get it!!!! :)
Well done Nick, so close. Always next time👍🏽
Amazing effort!!!
Loved watching your training , has inspired me to start running (on treadmill for now but outdoor soon), will defo keep watching your progress
Goals are good!
Such an inspiration! Congrats Nick😍
Thanks for sharing your run
Well Done!
I just began following this channel after watching you inspire others in London to finish Sub 3.
I’m going to try breaking 3 in Amsterdam next year. My current PR is 3:09:28. That got me got Boston in ‘22.
And I loved your energy in those videos.
But this video is incredible! You did so well! Met Kipchoge! And didn’t get your 2:20 but you didn’t fall apart. Shows there’s always something to celebrate!
Thanks for the inspiration! I’ll be watching.
Absolute pleasure! Keep grinding, don't stop! And good luck for the sub 3, we ain't stopping until we get there.
Thank you Nick! Love the series.
Still an awesome time Nick! I was tracking you all the way.
A great series as always and an epic race vlog.
You will get sub 2.20 one day 👊
Inspirational stuff, Nick. Have loved each episode of this journey. Thanks for sharing!
You are super hero man, super fan from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Congrats🎉 Champ and you're an inspiration ❤
Glad I found this channel just started running last year lol no idea what I’m doing first half marathon is coming this summer. Love all the info Ty
Goooood luck 👊🏻 hopefully you find a lot of the content useful! Enjoy your first marathon, nothing quite like it.
Question. I work in construction so I work like 14 hours a day and ma and my girlfriend have a 1 year old. So I got a treadmill to get me threw the winter months. How does a treadmill translate to outside running and should I even use it or just get me some winter gear and run outside when I can
@@donovangibson2603 yes in your case I’d definitely make use of the treadmill. It’s not quite the same as outdoor running but it’s a great training tool. Then try and get outdoors when you can
Awesome Ty
Great video and you always give great energy! Look forward to watching you break that barrier
Thanks Nick for sharing your goals and journey
fantastic job, well done. you have time to try again
I feel your disappointment man, but keep fighting! We will still be here rooting for your sub 2:20🔥🔥🔥 lets go!
Well done Nick, you gave it your best! Respect 👍
Epic effort, amazing video! Your comments at the end are so raw and real - thank you for sharing!
Congratulations mate - great race
Awesome. Your determination is a great inspiration Nick! Love to watch your training vlogs. Keep it going.
Wow, thanks for taking the time to put that together.your video popped up in my feed and i watched your journey. Great to see the prep an elite athlete puts in is just the same as us mere mortals. Found myself crying when you started going downhill, WTF?? Really enjoyed your journey and loved summary and positive thoughts post race for your athletes. You did your best and that's what you produced on the day. Congrats mate!!
Thanks mate! That's it! our best is all you can ask for! Onwards and upwards!
What an inspiration you are Nick! Stellar effort, stellar attitude! It'll come mate!
You’re an inspiration! Really!!
Love the persistence! Look forward to the next attempt.
Congratulations 🎉👏❤champion sir
Nice one. Congrats!
Nick, you are so inspiring, I love your attitude. Keep pushing and you will do it.
Love the honesty - congratulations on a great performance
Well done!
There are so incredibly many things I like about this race report! Your positivity after such a long sought after milestone, which was so close this time, yet slipper away. Amazing. So positive and strong, truly inspirational! Then you, as a UA-cam champion, cheering on other runners. Cannot put into words how cool that is. Very well done, you are an example on how to enjoy running, set challenging goals and how to work hard for it and keep on pursuing. Massive kudos to you! 💪💪💪
Appreciate your kind words and we all in it together! The marathon humbles you!! Onwards and upwards!!
Thanx for sharing ! Awesome ! I tracked you via the Berlin marathon app all the way ! ❤
Amazing Nick. This was amazing. Running 2.22 is insane
I understand how you're feeling, use this as motivation for next time 💪
Love your vlogs and simply being real. You gave it your bester and yeah... You can't predict your performance until it's done. No regrets having pace yourself well until 30km. Hate the money time. But you did us proud. Really feel for you but the exciting thing is... We get to follow your journey as you attempt it again. ♥️💪
well done nick!
Brave man, very inspirational.
Thanks for always sharing your journey Nick , keep pushing , your videos always make my day , thanks very much ,I love your positive vibes , keep making people smile ❤
honestly mate 2:22 is still absolutely amazing especially for someone who's job is not running all day. hats down! next time!
Absolutely incredible run, Nick! You gave it your all and showed such determination. Keep pushing forward towards that sub 2:20 goal!
I loved watching your epic journey, and still such an amazing time. You are an inspiration to runners like me and just what I need at the moment.
You got that 2:19:59 in you, hard work and training will pay off eventually.
Hope to see you at parkrun one day.
Boomshakalaka 🤘🏻
What a race!! Epic effort in my books. Wish I could run that fast!
Another great effort, Nick! I know you're gonna get your 2:19 soon, so keep it up!!!
Sub 2:20 is coming. And the longer you wait, the harder you try, the sweeter the feeling will be. I almost wanna be there on your next attempt, as I could only imagine the joy and the party when you finally get it. "Boom shaka laka" from Bulgaria.
Epic run !!!!
Great effort. You did you best on the day.
Thank you so much for sharing! You are beyond inspiring!
