    I just want you to know that you helped lift me out of depression and start running again. I just hit nine miles last week after only being able to run two. You have motivated me to keep going and never give up. Running is my therapy and I missed it so much thank you NICO. keep going man

    I’m a newbie into running so I run for 15 mts intervals 2 times. I’m building slowly but surely. You are the one who has giving me the courage to run 🏃‍♂️ and I thank you for that. I can feel I am getting stronger so I am pushing this week 5 mts more instead of 15 I want to push to 20 mts! 😊

    You're an inspiration my man! I'm training for my first marathon and set out the goal to run a sub 3:30 and every day it gets closer to the race it gets scarier ha-ha. Keep up the grind and take it day by day and I know you'll crush that sub 2:50 no problem! Love from Kentucky :)

    Hey!
    Love your vids!
    You have inspired me to start running!
    I have only ran a few times so far.
    Could you make a video on getting into running? Like beginners gear, how to run and stuff like that?
    This video was truly inspiring too. I love how you don’t just show the highs and talk about the lows I think it’s really important.
    Love your vids too!!! Best running vids on yt by FAR!

    Wow wow wow. That John Batiste quote PREACHES. These videos have been my best companion while training for my first half marathon. I have learned a lot from you about ways to develop my mindset for those long runs. I would love to just sit for a couple hours (or maybe run I guess) and learn from you. I’m a lot older than you, but you have a LOT to offer the world. Your willingness in this video to have honesty around how hard it can be no matter how easy it looks was powerful to me. Thank you Nico!

  • @cars92dtb
    @cars92dtb 8 місяців тому

    I aimed for sub 3 when you did, and got it like you. In this block, aiming for sub 2:53 (April 28, but in the UK) and find it a mad target. I'm not doing a lot of speedwork, but I'm consistently hitting 65-72 mile weeks for the last 11 weeks. My experiment is to get used to the volume, and then in the next marathon block basically do a lot more speed workouts while working up to and maintaining the current levels of mileage I'd established the previous time. Nico your videos help me learn about what it takes, but chill me out at the same time. There's no one out there that's anything like you.

    Great vid as usual full of wisdom . I am following a triathlon training plan and for me. what works the best is to be prepared the day before each session. I even figure out one week in advance what I have to do. And one thing I say in myself is shut the f... off and do what you have to do without questioning. Once I get there, whether it's at the pool, on my turbo trainer or outside running, then I'm happy!

    Hey so I’m new to running,
    And I’m wondering like how to get started. Do you think you could make a vid on like getting started with shoes and gear and all that?
    And love your vids!!

    • @Sully_one
      @Sully_one 7 місяців тому

      The only thing that directly can effect the quality of your runs will probably be the shoes, but if you're just starting, they're not even that necessary if you have some normall sport shoes
      Running wise, just go and run as much as you can, then rest, run a little more and repeat until you feel like stopping completely. Don't need to count the miles or pacing and stuff, just run slowly until you're tired. (also warm up before and stretch after to reduce soreness and help recovery)
      do that until you're comfortable with running and slowly start introducing pacing and counting miles if you wanted

  • @henrycrockett375
    @henrycrockett375 8 місяців тому

    I needed to hear that last bit about running being hard for everyone. I ran my first half marathon last September and about 2 months before the race, I got a really obnoxious cough that lasted like a month and I eventually had to go to a walk in clinic and was diagnosed with stress-induced asthma (at the time, there was a really bad smoke problem from fires in the PNW that was triggering it) and that really stunted my performance/training regimen. I ran a 2:30 half marathon which isn't great, but I was proud to complete it at all as I put on a bunch of weight during the pandemic and when I got the asthma diagnosis, I considered not going through with it.
    I was wondering what your best advice is for improving endurance; I've just started getting back into my run training as I want to have a more competitive time this year (I'm aiming for sub 2 hours). I took a few months break period since the winters are awful here, but now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I tend to get winded really easily and want to get to the point where I feel like I can just enjoy the run without pushing myself too intensely. Thanks and love the vids as always!

    Well done Man. I am also coached by Jeff and aiming a sub 3h in Boston 😮 It is amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it. Before Jeff, running 100km a week was something the elite did, not me. And here I am doing 100km week over week. Out of curiosity, not that Coros knows it all, but what does it predict for you on the marathon right now??

    • @zarimc
      @zarimc 8 місяців тому

      It’s so interesting to see how speed plays such a big role in how much mileage someone can hit in a week. Right now, running 9 hours in a week mostly easy will probably put me at around 45 miles, but that’s because my easy miles are 14-15 minutes. I know it’ll improve with time and consistency, so it’s inspiring to see other people’s journeys.
