In most of your marathons assuming the gps is accurate (Berlin and Seville should be!) you ran 42.4km so extra 200 metres. At 3:05 per km pace those 200 metres take 37 seconds. If you make it your mission to run the tangents, the straightest shortest possible lines between the turns on the wide Berlin streets you should be able to shave some "free" seconds off. Best of luck, I am flying tomorrow, maybe see you on Sunday!!! Pro Evo if it's dry and 2:19:40 (1:59:40 rings a bell too!)
Just forget the camera in my opinion! 15 seconds under with 5k to go is too tight, could easily lose it from there!!! You don't want to miss it by 9 seconds again because you took the camera and wasted some time
2:19:48 - Pro Evo, regardless of how well Pro 4s are, they are literally an extra shoe heavier and I think you go full bonkers on the super super shoe. Pro 4s can have its day next year. You got this Nick!
Please don’t wear that stupid cooling headband. Imagine finally breaking 2:20 & all the images you have to show your grandkids is with that round your head!
Ran my first marathon a year ago so I'll try to break 3:30h on Sunday. I'll certainly think about you and all of your great videos on the course - sending you positive vibes and lots of energy from start block E! Oh and Pro Evo ofc.
Dude, I got so hyped watching this video that I almost believed I was the one attempting sub 2:20. I haven’t even run a marathon yet… Best of luck, Nick! I truly believe in you! Predicting a breakthrough: 2:18:54
You’ll run 2:19:44 Nick. Complete faith in you. Been following you this whole block and know that you completely deserve it this time around. Go get it champ. Also, Pro Evo please. 😂
Put yourself first Nick! You put in the work and took us along on your journey, but this Sunday I really hope to see you on the livestream crossing that finish line in that hard earned, well deserved sub 2:20! Good luck mate!
Wear the Pro Evos Nick ….. the weight and the fact you have already raced in them 👞 Best wishes for your PB …… I think you will get 2:18:56 🥇 Boom Shaka Laka 👍
I think you’ll surprise yourself Nick. Watching your training it’s above and beyond anything I’ve seen. Think you’ll shave 30 secs+ off your PB. I’m going for 2:19:38
It's gonna be an amazing weather for running this Sunday in Berlin. You are gonna get the sub 20!! I am very optimistic. Go for the Pro Evo. It's 60g lighter and tried before. I wouldn't go for something new, don't take any risk. Boom Shakakala 😊
Go with Pro Evo 1, it is the premium one and a lot lighter. Skip the camera in any case and try to do the greatest PB possible for the day. I believe you will do 2:19:23, fingers crossed 🤞
If when you start the marathon the time is already at a few minutes (cause the amount of people starting is so great), how do you know your real time? Good luck Nick, 2:18:51, and take the pro Evo 1. We are all behind you mate!!
Im so excited for all of my youtube runner people running Berlin but for you most of all. I see on Strava how hard you have worked and I will have everything crossed on Sunday. Forget about the camera, race in the Evo's you are used to and enjoy yourself - 2:19:45
2:19:57 (you're breaking 2:20 for sure but it's gonna be a grind), go for the Pro Evo to have nothing new on race day. Boomshakalaka let's go Nick you got this!!!
I'll say that you're gonna smash it and run 2:19:20. But whatever happens on Sunday, you're an inspiration Nick and you've helped me rediscover my passion for running 🙌🙌🙌
The ultimate race deserves the ultimate shoe, the Evo. And YOU deserve the ultimate shoe for this occasion for all your hard work and attempts. Which marathon is more worthy than this one for the Evos? Berlin is the race
I think you've got it this time. Everything is shaping up nicely so if you give it a real full send, you can take advantage of all the fitness you've built. Definitely use the pro evos--you know you can perform at your highest level in them. Picture the end of that 5k when you're heading to the Berlin finish!
Predicted time: 02:19:42, as I hope you will make the sub 02:20 this time. All the hard work and dedication you put in should now pay off. I wouldn't run in the new shoes as they are an unknown factor, since you haven't run in them much yet. Even if it is just the mental side of it. Anyway: wishing you all the best for this race.
pro evo, would not recommend a shoe you have not raced with. It may not be ideal or it may make you give you that little bit of doubt. there will be plenty of other races to try the pro 4
Good luck with the race! The work is done and i predict a 2:19:02. If both shoes feel great there is no bad choice. Maybe toss a coin and let faith decide 💪🏻
2:19:59 BOOMSHAKALA I believe in you! And in case you don‘t break it, just know that the build up to this was super entertaining and inspiring nevertheless. Finally, I‘m no expert but I do recommend the pro evos, no need to take unnecessary risks now especially considering how much heavier the pro 4s are.
Skip the camera, focus on the prize until the end! You can do it! You will do it!
I agree with this.
I agree nick, we want to hear you ran sub 2:20, not see you run 2:21 again. A PR is more important than a little bit of filming
In most of your marathons assuming the gps is accurate (Berlin and Seville should be!) you ran 42.4km so extra 200 metres. At 3:05 per km pace those 200 metres take 37 seconds. If you make it your mission to run the tangents, the straightest shortest possible lines between the turns on the wide Berlin streets you should be able to shave some "free" seconds off. Best of luck, I am flying tomorrow, maybe see you on Sunday!!! Pro Evo if it's dry and 2:19:40 (1:59:40 rings a bell too!)
Take the Pro Evos. Much lighter and tried and tested. Keeping fingers crossed for a calm, cool day. You will crack it if it is. My tip 2:19.30
Go for the Pro Evo, give it the full send... its going to happen! 2:19:49! You got this Nick, when you need to dig in, dig more!
Just forget the camera in my opinion! 15 seconds under with 5k to go is too tight, could easily lose it from there!!!
You don't want to miss it by 9 seconds again because you took the camera and wasted some time
It can also raise HR doing literally anything else but running. I’m with you on this. Skip the camera this time!!
2:19:48 - Pro Evo, regardless of how well Pro 4s are, they are literally an extra shoe heavier and I think you go full bonkers on the super super shoe. Pro 4s can have its day next year. You got this Nick!
2.18.59! Pro Evolution 1s - nothing new on race day. You got this💪
Pro Evo. Time prediction 2hr 19mins 11 secs
+1 for the Pro Evo's! 2:19:53 let's gooooooo
Please don’t wear that stupid cooling headband.
Imagine finally breaking 2:20 & all the images you have to show your grandkids is with that round your head!
🤣🤣 na no need for this one. The weather is cooling down a bit 👌🏻
Pro Evo for sure! 60g weight difference is huge. Approx 25-30000 steps x 60g extra adds up to alot of kgs.
Best of luck 🙏
Ran my first marathon a year ago so I'll try to break 3:30h on Sunday. I'll certainly think about you and all of your great videos on the course - sending you positive vibes and lots of energy from start block E! Oh and Pro Evo ofc.
Let's go Nick!! See you Saturday for the shakeout. 2:19:22 in the bag 🤝
You can do it. Sending all the best energies all the way from Brazil. BOOMSHAKALAKA LET’S GOO!!
I’d say run with the Pro Evo and your time will be 2:19:44
Good luck!! I’m predicting a 2:19:39
Your vids look like you are getting better and better, I predict a HUGE pr of 2:17:20!
edit: go with the pro evos
Pro Evo I reckon, will be very anxious for you but at the same time confident you can do it, I'm going for 2hr 19. 27. Have a good one!
Dude, I got so hyped watching this video that I almost believed I was the one attempting sub 2:20. I haven’t even run a marathon yet… Best of luck, Nick! I truly believe in you! Predicting a breakthrough: 2:18:54
Same!
I hope you know how to still make a proper braii 😢😅
It's time to come back to South Africa 😊
Good luck mate! 2.19.52 that's what I'm calling

You’ll run 2:19:44 Nick. Complete faith in you. Been following you this whole block and know that you completely deserve it this time around. Go get it champ. Also, Pro Evo please. 😂
Put yourself first Nick! You put in the work and took us along on your journey, but this Sunday I really hope to see you on the livestream crossing that finish line in that hard earned, well deserved sub 2:20! Good luck mate!
All the best Nick, go get that 2:19:30 👍🏻 (edit Pro EVO all day - nothing new!)
Best of luck Nick!! It's been nice following your training block, and I think it's gonna happen this time. Time prediction: 2:19:49
Book shakalala.. nick it's your time to shine.. my prediction is 2:19:45
2:19:28
you got this! Believe!
When it hurts, Believe!
Pain doesn't last, regret does, Believe!
No Regrets!!!!!
Good luck Nick 😊 ! From Canada ! ✌ Pro Evo ! And I'm hesitant between 2h18.54 and 2h23.46. Hmm 🤔🏁
Evo’s 100% and would also skip the camera! You can do it 👌🚀
Run smart, respect your plan, trust your training, and empty the tank at the end. You got this for 2h19, boom shakalaka!
Go with the Pro Evo, until you thoroughly test the Pro 4 and see if they work for you. 22:19:58
Pro Evo. 2:20:11 - Hope I’m 20 seconds wrong - GOOD LUCK!!!
Wear the Pro Evos Nick ….. the weight and the fact you have already raced in them 👞 Best wishes for your PB …… I think you will get 2:18:56 🥇 Boom Shaka Laka 👍
I think you’ll surprise yourself Nick. Watching your training it’s above and beyond anything I’ve seen.
Think you’ll shave 30 secs+ off your PB.
I’m going for 2:19:38
You can do it Nick! 2:19:45 is what I am feeling, BOOMSHAKALAKA!
Pro Evo. I think you’ll surprise yourself! 2:18:27. Boomshakalakaaaaaaa 👊
Let's go!! Nick, you are such an inspiration to so many runners 🏃♂️This is your time!! 2:19:04!! You've got this!!
2:19 44. Leave the cam. Shave the hair wax the nose hair, extra short toe nails, and have a massive shit the night before youll be sorted boet😂
All the best Nick! Sunday is the victory lap. Will be watching from the UK (slightly hungover I'm sure so rather you than me!!!!)
Boom 👊👊
It's gonna be an amazing weather for running this Sunday in Berlin. You are gonna get the sub 20!! I am very optimistic. Go for the Pro Evo. It's 60g lighter and tried before. I wouldn't go for something new, don't take any risk. Boom Shakakala 😊
Bro you are going to finish at 2h18m56s. Don’t stress yourself, you got this !!!!!
In the pro Evo's you go 2:18:56. This training block has been on point and I think you will surprise yourself!
Boom Shakalaka.... Go for the Evo 1s...you are coming in at 2:18:47❤
Evo if the weather is dry, pro4 if it's raining, good luck 🎉🎉🎉🎉 and above all, enjoy
Nick - you got this man. You're an inspiration to us all - smash it out there.
Boom Shakalaka. 🏃♂️⚡️⚡️⚡️
2.19.40. You've got this. We are with you all the way! Pro Evo. Don't deviate from your race plan. Let's gooooo !
Go with Pro Evo 1, it is the premium one and a lot lighter. Skip the camera in any case and try to do the greatest PB possible for the day. I believe you will do 2:19:23, fingers crossed 🤞
If when you start the marathon the time is already at a few minutes (cause the amount of people starting is so great), how do you know your real time?
Good luck Nick, 2:18:51, and take the pro Evo 1. We are all behind you mate!!
I think 2:19:12 has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? You’re a huge motivation to my running. Lets goooooooo!
Omg!!! i cannot wait to see you race and TAKE that sub 2.20!!!
2.19.53. I would take the Pro 4's and keep the Evo's for breaking 2.10. And now I would go to bed if I were you.
Of course DON'T change shoes. If anything goes wrong with them you're going to regret it so badly. Everyone knows this: *nothing new on race day*.
Weather looks great. Not too hot and dry. So you WILL smash 2:20! Sinds it is dry in Sunday I would use the EVO’s. Race prediction 2:19:49
Im so excited for all of my youtube runner people running Berlin but for you most of all. I see on Strava how hard you have worked and I will have everything crossed on Sunday. Forget about the camera, race in the Evo's you are used to and enjoy yourself - 2:19:45
I'd go with the Pro Evos, and I'd guess 2:19:50. You got this, bro! You can crush it. Good luck!
2:19:57 (you're breaking 2:20 for sure but it's gonna be a grind), go for the Pro Evo to have nothing new on race day. Boomshakalaka let's go Nick you got this!!!
Focus on that goal. We’re here all supporting you as well. Sub 2:20 in the bag 🎉
I'll say that you're gonna smash it and run 2:19:20.
But whatever happens on Sunday, you're an inspiration Nick and you've helped me rediscover my passion for running 🙌🙌🙌
Go Pro Evo, best policy is stick with what you know. I'm getting a strong feeling you'll be on for 2:19:38.
You're ready Nick-2:18:35 (with a good group) 2:19.48 no group
Best of luck Nick you deserve that sub 2:20. You are an inspiration to all of us regardless of the outcome 💪
The ultimate race deserves the ultimate shoe, the Evo. And YOU deserve the ultimate shoe for this occasion for all your hard work and attempts. Which marathon is more worthy than this one for the Evos? Berlin is the race
Good luck man. Youre an inspiration. You explain the psychology of running the best out of all UA-camrs.
Hope to meet you in an event one day.
Pro Evos for sure. Remember what that shoe did on this course last year!
2:18:48 incoming 🙏
I guess 2:19:14 - but you don't grab the camera. We are all rooting for you Nick, so inspirational. Can't wait to hear after the race!!! wooo hooo!
I love the perspective that maybe the “failure” (big air quotes) has been a blessing to keep you motivated!!
If you’ve never failed, you’ve never tried. It will come! Good luck on Sunday
I think you've got it this time. Everything is shaping up nicely so if you give it a real full send, you can take advantage of all the fitness you've built. Definitely use the pro evos--you know you can perform at your highest level in them. Picture the end of that 5k when you're heading to the Berlin finish!
2.19.50 (anniversary). Best of luck 🍀
2:19:59. Shoes-rule no 1 don't try anything new on race day. Pro Evos all day long.
I don’t have a prediction just the hope that you achieve your goal!! Best of luck this weekend.
I would suggest the shoes you are used to, and I predict a 2:19:38.
Go with pro Evo as you've had a race in them. Provides the comfort you need that they'll get you there
You'll smash it Nick! I know how much you want this but remember it's only a race; there are a lot more important things in life ✌🏽
Good luck Nick.
Let’s be brave, 2:18:40. Crack on. 👊💥
Predicted time: 02:19:42, as I hope you will make the sub 02:20 this time. All the hard work and dedication you put in should now pay off. I wouldn't run in the new shoes as they are an unknown factor, since you haven't run in them much yet. Even if it is just the mental side of it. Anyway: wishing you all the best for this race.
Pro Evo. Less weight. Take every bit of advantage you can get.
Pro Evos 110%! This is what they were made for! 2:19:52 let's go!
Come on Nick! Looking forward to the “I did it! Sub 2:20 vlog” ❤
not a new show on race day - if it doesn’t work for you you’ll kick yourself. Pro Evo all day
take pro evos 140 grams has to be faster then 200g pro 4. I think u can go 2:18 in pro evo
pro evo, would not recommend a shoe you have not raced with. It may not be ideal or it may make you give you that little bit of doubt. there will be plenty of other races to try the pro 4
Don't make the silly mistake of changing gear last minute. Take the Pro Evo
Good luck with the race! The work is done and i predict a 2:19:02. If both shoes feel great there is no bad choice. Maybe toss a coin and let faith decide 💪🏻
Pro Evo for a 2:58:58! And Pro 4 may be too much of a wildcard(?).
2:19:59 BOOMSHAKALA I believe in you!
And in case you don‘t break it, just know that the build up to this was super entertaining and inspiring nevertheless.
Finally, I‘m no expert but I do recommend the pro evos, no need to take unnecessary risks now especially considering how much heavier the pro 4s are.
Really rooting for you, Nick. You can do this👊🏿
2:19:42 you got this Nick :> lock in and get that PB
Pro evo , I don't want you to say if or have any regrets, smash it 2:19:28
Come on Nick. You can smash it this time.🎉
Pick the shoes that say “I never quit”. Then go for it!
Shoe vote = Pro Evo
Race prediction = 1:59:59
Pro Evo my bro! And you’re doing 2:19:56
