When I started running 8 years ago, I spent the first month focusing on developing good form and learning to breathe, and man am I glad I did.
I retired from active duty (USA) after 23 years in service in 2017. I hated running in the Army! 8-mile Mondays in the SOAR seemed like torture, I didn't mind the road marches though. Now, I'm 46 years old and I love it, I ran 3 marathons in the last 6 months, Frankfurt on October 30th, 2022, Rome on March 19th, 2023, and Vienna on 23 April, 2023. I'll be running my first ultra in Switzerland on September 15th hosted by UTMB world series, the Wildstrubel 113 in Crans-Montana. I am stoked! I have a chock full of injuries from the Army. I thank God every day for allowing me to do this. Someone smarter than I need to teach Soldiers in the United States Army how to run efficiently and properly.
I just watched the Cody Ko episode and now, I'm hooked on the NBP! I totally appreciate how Nick lets the guest do all talking and sprinkles in his own background BUT almost always with the intent of asking the guest something else that only propels their topics and points. I've been mainly in to cycling, mt biking & strength training but these guys are almost selling running for me too..
Hey Nick, absolutely love the direction of the podcast. Great guests, and great conversation. Keep it going!
Hey Nick!! Absolutely love the podcast content! Great guest, insightful discussions. Keep them coming!👍👍
Great interview. He had me glued early. Really enjoyed him
I’m 10 minutes in and I’m loving this interview. “The only way forward is one step at a time”. Love it
This was a great podcast! Tons of info and very encouraging
such good discussions!
Love this content! Thanks for the discount Nick! Can't wait to purchase the new protein powder key lime pie!😁🤗
This podcast is so me. From powerlifting /bodybuilding to now running and lowering the weights.(hybrid athlete)
I felt like I was telling my journey. So relatable
Really good one!
Great podcast. Just coming off a calf strain from ramping up too much too soon so this should help to avoid injuries in the future.
Lol this is awesome it’s my exact same experience in the Military
LT Bare, there's been a big push by the Army specifically to train and have more Master Fitness Trainers and I, like many MFTs, help build out the new FM 7-22 as we transition(ed) over to Holistic Health and Fitness which includes resilience training, the ABCP, training protocols including programming with progressions, etc. So yes, the Army is trying, not sure it's getting there and covid derailed a lot.
I’m about to start college and ROTC this fall after being enlisted for 8+ years. That is the FIRST thing I’m telling my platoon after I commission, running balls to the wall is absolutely stupid as f!?&.
Been following Sam since 2018- great to see two great minds combine
💯
In your opinion, does it matter if you do strength training in the morning and run in the evening or is there something specific about the order?
Supplements are almost entirely useless...& I'm a huge fan of Sam's. We both look the exact same with our shirts off (we don't).
literally saying literally 4x per minute through 7
Radar hill was the worst
I currently working out in gym and start a little running jurney, like 3miles once a week and feel great then ever. Thank You for this informative and motivating podcast.
