After my 2nd acl surgery on my same leg i didn't know if I'll get back to running and sports or not because i was too scared. Man, you helped me out so much, i have restarted running and preparing for a half marathon now. Thank you Nick so much!
First tri of my life scheduled for this May, training has been tough with work but Nick does show there shouldn’t be excuses. Always great to see the content
He inhaled after nose trims and starts the mini mixer before it enters the water. Proof that This dude is from another planet. Also, yulee is hilarious
@@olivierletellier8280 oh get a grip will you? Someone made a light hearted joke toward Nick because he is clumsy on the bike. Who cares? He's not going to marry you buddy, you don't need to run to his defense.
2:35 try using a tubeless tires, you're gonna be faster and saving watts and the danger of getting a flat will be reduced a lot. It's just much better!!
have you tried any yoga or mobility work to help improve your position on the bike? I’m sure you could save a decent amount of watts if you’re able to get lower!
Not a fan of a tubeless setup on a road bike, IMO the tire pressure is too high for the sealant to plug the hole. The weight saved is minimal at best. And probably best to learn how to change a flat no?
Curious as to why Nick wouldn't do Ironman Texas 70.3 today with it essentially in his backyard to get a gauge on fitness, there's enough time to recover, heck Lionel Sanders did Florida then Texas,
Geez if they had a baby or expecting it may be different. But with how much he's putting into this there's no way she could say anything. Just ride the support train, that many hrs at work and training he basically has a new relationship. Hell just me training for marathons can be tough, mentally it's tiring and full time job with med school and 2 boys with one on the way and cancer trying to push its way in. He has it easy compared to a lot of other athletes. But it also depends if they even want kids. At this age they may be too far in their career but if they do then his tri life will be a obstacle
You kids need to get some gravel grinders with some aero bars for those chip seal county roads, it's brutal, teeth filling loosening on 120psi road tires, LOL. Willow City Loop is awesome!
Make sure not to kill yourself dude. That might put a big lasting strain on your joints; even professional runners don't exercise this much (for that reason) Pretty impressive schedule though
@@mattdavenport7596 Cyclists do, Traithletes absolutly, runners don't. Eliud Kipchoge for example runs about 110-120 miles per week at 5:30 min/mile or faster, meaning he rarely runs significantly more than 10-12 hours a week. He is obviously doing strength and conditioning stuff as well, but I'll doubt he often hits 20 hour weeks
@@daskanguru140 Majority of elite runners mileage will be easy aerobic pace & much slower than 5:30 per mile pace, i.e. the 80/20 rule. But yeah, still not 20hrs a week for runners 👍
@@thomasmulder5022 I can see that might attract certain people but what ever gaines it might give you, you would lose it if you get a flat. lol I can see if you add gel but then at that point you might as well go with tubes.
I’m curious if fueling a body that big for endurance sports with more long lasting macronutrients like fat, would be considerably more effective than macronutrients like carbs which burn fast even for small people, and often lead to even faster/more lactic acid build up. Might be worth experimenting with.
It can be great for some training session to get the body used to consume fat. But on race day eating carb is the way to go. Simply because glycogen is the best source of energy whereas fat need oxygen in order to be use by the body as fuel.
Hey Nick! Would love to see a sit down video where you talk about things you learn POST military that you wish you knew while serving. As active duty I’ve enjoyed the journey of you transitioning out but I’m sure you have learned better ways to train / fuel / recover in the years you’ve left the military that could’ve been implemented during your time in service. Thanks
Nick, quick question. I noticed only one person had lights on their bike. Does Texas not require lights on bikes if they are on the road? Looks like it would be a safety factor. Enjoy the videos and the product. Ride safe!
You have to learn to fix thise tires yourself, what will you do in competition where no external help is allowed? Especialy for the tubless, you need a prestreched one to take into the competition. Regardining the tape for the tubeless on the rim, you leave a handwide gap on the opposite of the valve, where you can rip of the tubless from the rim. Basic technic and tricks Nick.
Is it reasonable to run a sub 3-hour marathon in 5 months with a straight 8:30 min/mile pace for 10 miles right now. Then after the 5 months transition into powerlifting without injury?
Hey Nick, been watching your videos for a long time now and I was just wondering. Do you track your burned calories? With that amount of exercise I would guess you burn a ton, anyways, I was just curious to know. Have a great day!
it probably isnt out of nowhere. you ride tubeless right? so you probably got a puncture on the road and small holes get fixed by spinning the weel, after you stop the gue inside isnt stopping the leak anymore becuase there is no G force on the gue to the outside and to the hole
Dude I started a company in 2019 called Bison Industrial... That pic of that bison is epic! I need to get me one of them to put up in my office one day!
What do you guys do to make the bike seats more comfortable? I have a stationary and the seat is hell, nothing I've tried helps make it tolerable for more than 5 minutes
Being a spin instructor myself- it just takes time. You just need to break your butt and sit bones in, regular riding, a few times a week or more for a few weeks, should do the trick... You can get padded seat covers or wear the padded shorts but if you arent on there for hrs on end i think you'll be fine just giving it time...
Maybe you need a different saddle. Most good bike shops will let you try out different saddles and help you find one that fits your position on the bike.

I've had that, I was sitting in a park next to my bike and suddenly psssssssss, flat tyre. All I can think of is that the pressure of the tyre was quite high and it was sitting in the sun and maybe the increased heat caused over pressure... who knows
Made the comment several times on various places - but there are still IM full distance races open that you could have switched to. I saw you're changing focus to "hybrid" again after this race.. but your original challenge was a sub 10 IM that you could still get after curious why you're not doing another race? IM wasn't responsible for what the city of Woodlands did, I get they've handled some things poorly, but they can't control a county denying the use of a road for the bike portion..
Maybe realised sub 10 is unlikely & cancellation gave an opportunity to swerve it without ‘failing’. Job is done as far as creating hype & marketing the nutrition nonsense - why risk it all by actually doing an Ironman when circumstance has given you a way out.

I don't see what the benefit is on the tubeless tires? Seems to be a pain and no way to fix a flat on the side of the road.
If i'm right you put a gel into the tires so you don't get a flat. (sorry english not my native)
They have smaller rolling resistance and weigh less then tires with tubes
