I really enjoyed hearing your story! I began running 11 years ago at 42 years old, after being 40 pounds overweight and pre-diabetic. I quickly improved and that caught the attention of many local runners who started asking me for training advice and plans. So I decided to get certified as a coach through RRCA. I'm just at the first stages of growing my business, so I;m very excited to learn of your success! Thanks so much for sharing Nick!
Absolute pleasure! I wish you all the best and great success going forward! Glad running has had a positive impact on your life!
Nick you done really well. Hopefully I follow your footsteps one day as a runner.
Great to see how you started to where you are now,doing something you love and believe in,not just a job but a passion 👏🏻👏🏻I too have been coaching for a few years now with our local club with a group that started as under 11’s and now are under 17’s and there’s nothing like seeing them progress and achieve their goals,
I’ve only been following you a short time,and enjoy watching your post’s,keep up the great job your doing🙏🏼
BERLIN BABY!!!! 2:19:27!! 🦾🏃❤🍒
GOTTA BELIEVE!!!
Awesome work! 🙌
Proud of you Nick, cant wait for wait to see what next in store for you.
Thank you my pal! 👊🏻
So inspiring dude! 💪
Cool story! I can really see you going places with your inspiring character, business and community building and that this is still only the beginning for you 💪👍
Thank you Kristoffer! I believe, you believe, let's gooooo! Enjoying the journey, let's see where it ends up!
Really enjoyed this mate. I met you at Night of the 10,000m PB’s. Doing my coaching course in august so I can start helping people too 💪🏻
Great to meet you there mate! Smash the coaching course! Onward and Upwards!
Great story. I get inspired by you, coming from a non running back ground am slowly progressing from failing to hit 5min/km pace to chasing sub 4min/km in two years of on and off because of work
Bravo Nick
Thanks for sharing your story. Used to ride that path you were walking when going home from Battersea park sessions.
Such a good path. Its between my house and the gym so I’m often on it. Glad you enjoyed 👊🏻
Nick, if I wasn’t already a part of Brendon O’Leary’s racing team I would absolutely look to you for coaching. Your enthusiasm is contagious!! Best of luck to you and Matt in Berlin. I will be in NYC chasing sub 3:00.
Thanks James, appreciate your kind words! Good luck at NYC, go crush that sub 3!!
Inspirational! King George’s Park? My favourite spot for sessions and easy runs 😅 almost exactly 0.5 miles around 👌
Thanks mate! Yup indeed that's the park. Great for a jog, especially if you have a pram.
Super interesting video. Thanks for sharing your story.
Absolute pleasure. I’ll do an updated one at some point too as a lot has changed since then!
@@justalilbester I can't wait !!
Good luck
Not sure if you've answered these?'s before... Did you run XC/Track in High School, college?
What other sports did you play, if any? Who were your coaches growing up or who have you learned from over the years?? Thanks Nick! Love the content and your hard work! Good luck on the trails, roads and track!
I did one season of 800m in school (when I was 17), the fastest I did it on was 2 mins dead. That was it
I played tennis mainly and then after school quite a bit of golf.
I haven't had a coach but followed a few training plans from a coach in SA, called Frank. The coach at my previous club HHH is called Geoff
bravo, really unusual ,farewell,;)
HOLD STRONG
I really want to start coaching
When did you leave South Africa? I think running is big in SA, maybe I am wrong could you please share numbers. In terms of paying for coaching I agree with you.
BEST decision you ever made..! 💙🤍
Thank you super star!!!! So grateful to have you in the team!!
