      @@XxAlex530xX honestly it’s cliche to say at times but calorie deficit is key, so I dropped to 1800 cals (may be a bit to excessive) while also burning 500 cals going stairmasters and 45 minute weights 6 days a week, this helped me lose weight in 4-5 months, obviously imo this is unreasonable and weight loss this drastic should be done healthier so try to go to the gym or some sort of activity 3-5 times a week plus calorie deficit you should be good!

    Nico i was running a couple of months ago but had to stop due to an injury. After my injury I lost motivation to do anything that had to do with exercise. But then I started to understand that I needed to get back on track since I noticed I get out of breath more often now. You are motivating me to get back on track. I had a period in time where I really wanted to get better and I dropped my mile time from 8:00min to 7:00min in 2 weeks. Right now I'm just trying to get back to where I used to be so I can start making progress to run a half marathon to maybe a marathon some day in the future. Thank you for the motivation you've given me over the last couple of months when I really started to get into running! I will always be grateful to you since I really got into running because of You, Matt Choi and my mom!

      That’s so good to hear! I guess sometimes when we just pause and consider whether our actions are serving positively to our purpose it helps us to let go of what doesn’t if that makes sense.
      For me I can almost feel like I’m nearing this point to ‘let go’ but at the same time am quite terrified of losing that control.
      If it’s ok to ask; since the day you stopped, how do you go about putting meals together/ portions/ not weighing? And did anything change physically (weight wise)?

    What makes your videos interesting to me is that you try to show your lifestyle and tell others not to imitate or copy you and have their own lifestyle.
    Social Media has made a great impact on the new generations in the whole world and most of the new generations are looking for a role model, which is good, but it should not be permanent and they should make their own way, and the fact that you encourage everyone to have their own right way is great. .

    Props to Sophie for the shots. I mentioned it before but enjoy the cinematic quality of your videos. How do you deal with the mental challenge of facing some runs? Not all days are equal, weather conditions, fatigue level, or overall energy level can have a huge impact. I did 5k yesterday in unseasonably warm and humid conditions. The struggle was more mental than it was physical. The distance and fitness weren't really the problem.

    hey nico, so i actually have two questions. im 14 years old right now, and i got into running about 7 months ago, because i wanted to lose weight as a 13 year old that was skinny fat. i also started going to the gym. after some time, i actually lost 15 lb. now i can run 6,2 miles in 59 min without stopping (thats my pr rn) and I’m in the best shape of my life right now. one of my goals is to run a marathon one day like you. so my first question is, did you run the chicago marathon without walking or stopping? and my second question is, if i heel strike or midfoot strike, does it make a big difference? (i dont know excactly if i heel strike or midfoot strike, because i havent checked properly yet, and if i heel strike, i dont do it aggressively). Thank you for your time.
