you ran wayyyy over youre head. you are not in aub 220 shape. it just how the marathon goes. spend time with your family , and step away from running for a while. then come back
I was aiming under 3:30, at 35k i was predicted at 3:28:20. It crashed me so hard, i ended up at 3:36. I have three kids. Giving everything in Training. But i did not have it in the end. But im proud. I will do my 3:29:xx - and you will do yours 2:19:xx - maybe next year! Go!
I started back my running journey Dec 2022 : my first marathon 3:40 in LA 2nd ran 3:05 Santa Rosa next sub 2:59 cmi Dec 3rd ! Just qualified for Boston it’s been a quite ride so far along the way inspire many runners and coach a few etc - mate: good luck and have fun doing it . One peace of advice besides the long runs and tempos running make sure you don’t forget track
Great effort! So consistently close to sub 2.20 and most consistent runner on you tube.. period.. Just unlucky you didn’t have the pack of runners around you for the last 5k.. not ideal to be isolated but you will achieve your sub 2.20 goal, that’s a definite and good fighting spirit you have as well👍
Congrats Nick. Concentrate on your awesome achievement of achieving 2.22. Only a select elite few ever reach this level. Please stay in the marathon zone. "Simply the Best"
Nick either way you’re a supreme athlete and the way you train and have your superstitions even, is very commendable and inspirational. What’s more, you seem a bloody good human being and you deserve every success in the world. I love watching your videos and I wish you nothing but the best. I hope you enjoyed that stein also!!! ❤🎉
Well done mate, absolutely love the channel. Motivated me to restart running, lost 17lb and running my first half marathon in 3 years next month! Love the grind, love the results, love the positivity
No regrets! You did amazing Nick. Berlin 2023 was my very first marathon ever, and I can only imagine what a feeling it would be to reach your level. Onwards to sub 2:20!
There's one sentence that pops out for me: NO REGRETS ... you gave it all and that's the goal. But what better then the 50th edition to better your PB .... looking forward already ;)
This result is a great success for a number of reasons. 1. You're married and a father to two very young children 2. You're very busy running your own successful business (you coach numerous people and organise events) 3. You're very active on social media 4. You're self coached. This is an incredible result, Nick. You've got a lot on your plate. Perhaps working with an experienced coach who has run sub 2:20 or coached multiple athletes who have run sub 2:20 would help? Ryan Hall, Luke Humphrey, Greg Mcmillan, Nate Jenkins, Andrew Kastor, Terrence Mahon, Steve Magness and Lee Troop are a few names off the top of my head, but there are many more and I'm sure there are some wonderful coaches in the UK, too. Having a coach is not an admission that you don't know what you're doing or that you lack confidence in your ability to put together a great programme. It's admitting to yourself that you have a lot of important things happening in your life and that trusting your training to someone experienced who has delivered the desired result for other athletes, will allow you to have more energy for the things that matter most. Much love from RSA, Nick. Keep going brother!
Appreciate your kind words champ and it's something seriously considering and will most likely get a coach for the next block just to switch things up a bit.
Wow, this really shows what the marathon is all about and that you never know untill it's over 😮! But whatever happened, that was an epic day and a great performance 👍🏻!
Question. I work in construction so I work like 14 hours a day and ma and my girlfriend have a 1 year old. So I got a treadmill to get me threw the winter months. How does a treadmill translate to outside running and should I even use it or just get me some winter gear and run outside when I can
@@donovangibson2603 yes in your case I’d definitely make use of the treadmill. It’s not quite the same as outdoor running but it’s a great training tool. Then try and get outdoors when you can
You're such an inspiration Nick. Showing your high and your low. I am preparing La Rochelle Marathon (in France) in 2 months, your video is giving me a lot of motivation to smash my PB
Amazing Nick. Love the channel and what you bring to the community. Cheered you on at KM 23 and was rooting for you to hit that sub 2:20. You have 100% got this in your wheelhouse. Looking forward to your return for the 50th anniversary. Know you gonna smash it then for sure 🏃♂️👏.
Cheers Nick I’m crying again. There are so many key takeaways from this in terms of advce for us runners - thank you! (I’m now taking my pillow to Valencia!) We are all rooting for you, it will come - for now… it’s family time. All the best bro 👊🏻
Nick - your mentality is amazing. No excuses and pushed to 100% - The amazing thing about this prep is that you've given 100% to everything in your life; Family, Running and Business. This has just given me the motivation to go smash my goals, not only on the track but in my personal life too. So if you want to take away a victory - you have a victory in me. Thank you.
Congrats on a strong effort. Ketones are for recovery not racing, the studies show. It seems they might impact glycogen processing at medium to high intensity
Way to give it a good go. Keep up the great work. It will come. Maybe come back for the UP run next year😂 for good luck😂😂. You are a machine. Best attitude. Let's go. Boom shakalaka
Nick you smashed it. you might not have had the time on Sunday but you will come back stronger and better next time. it ended up being a very hot day and that doesnt help. keep smiling buddy
19:25 that mixed feeling... congrats mate, amazing run and amazing effort in the end! keep it rolling you will make it if you want it so hard! best to you Nick! inspiring!
You gave it all Nick and didn't go down without a good struggle. Some day you'll get your sub 2:20 Saw you right before the start on the live stream :)
I was there to accompany my friend. He completed it at 2:36. I have a plan to run a marathon myself. Currently I run 15km at 52 minutes. I hope I would make it. I am 42 years young.
Well Done! I just began following this channel after watching you inspire others in London to finish Sub 3. I’m going to try breaking 3 in Amsterdam next year. My current PR is 3:09:28. That got me got Boston in ‘22. And I loved your energy in those videos. But this video is incredible! You did so well! Met Kipchoge! And didn’t get your 2:20 but you didn’t fall apart. Shows there’s always something to celebrate! Thanks for the inspiration! I’ll be watching.
Man you're such a positive person it's contagious. Started running thanks to your inspiring content!! Keep up the good work, im sure you'll get sub 2 20' next year. Greetings from Brazil !!!
I'll be doing my first ever marathon next year and am slowly building up the distance right now. Your videos give lots of inspiration, lots of knowledge and the reality of marthon training and racing. Thank you, although it kind of scares me, I can't wait to start the actual marathon training.
Amazing effort and outcome Nick - you should still be so proud of the work that you put in. Just goes to show that there's no way around the fact that the marathon has to be respected!
There are so incredibly many things I like about this race report! Your positivity after such a long sought after milestone, which was so close this time, yet slipper away. Amazing. So positive and strong, truly inspirational! Then you, as a RUclips champion, cheering on other runners. Cannot put into words how cool that is. Very well done, you are an example on how to enjoy running, set challenging goals and how to work hard for it and keep on pursuing. Massive kudos to you! 💪💪💪
Sub 2:20 is coming. And the longer you wait, the harder you try, the sweeter the feeling will be. I almost wanna be there on your next attempt, as I could only imagine the joy and the party when you finally get it. "Boom shaka laka" from Bulgaria.
Gutted for you, but you gave it your absolute all and no one can ask for any more than that! Your vlogs are a joy to watch - your enthusiasm is infectious!
Absolutely brilliant video!!..felt like I was there shouting you on you are ammmmazzing!!... I clocked wee Charlotte purdue as you went too the Berlin gate she never stops I love that girl.. Shes ALWAYS " THERE." .... youll get sub 2-20 very soon my friend...🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️ BOOOOOOOOMSHAKALLLAAAKKKA!!!... 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊... Yayyyy to Anya!!!... 🎉.. We love you NICK...x
Amazing effort, Nick! Kept a close eye on your splits throughout the whole race and really wished you a sub 2:20 race. It didn’t happen at Berlin but it will come soon enough! Keep at it, keep spirits high as you always do and let’s continue the grind for a sub 2:20 finish! Wishing you all the best!
Wow, thanks for taking the time to put that together.your video popped up in my feed and i watched your journey. Great to see the prep an elite athlete puts in is just the same as us mere mortals. Found myself crying when you started going downhill, WTF?? Really enjoyed your journey and loved summary and positive thoughts post race for your athletes. You did your best and that's what you produced on the day. Congrats mate!!
A Fantastic achievement Nick and lots to be proud of. I’ve looked at the elite times in different marathons and, apart from Kipchoge, they all slow noticeably after 35km. That 2:20 is a real barrier it seems for sun-elites. Not sure what more you can do if you’re putting in 100 mile weeks but you could still do it.
Don’t be too hard on yourself Nick. You came 82nd! 82nd in the Boston freakin’ Marathon!! That is insanity man. You should be wildly proud of yourself.
With your magnificent attitude it's always a pleasure to follow your journey - sub220 or not you're constantly winning in the game of life mate. Going forward I'm curious if you've thought about if there's possible gains to make in terms of better fat adaptation/oxidation to prevent bonking late in the race? Perhaps coupled with ongoing lactate testing to check that your LT1 and implied base training is where it needs to be for the marathon distance? In any case best wishes for the next one! Don't give up on your dream! 🙌
Well done Nick! I love the post race analysis and your admission that maybe you were just not in sub 2.20 shape. I can relate to the "it was all going to plan, until it wasn't"... no doubt you will be back, putting the work in ... I didn't realise you had kids, they will be super proud of their daddy, watching this on youtube some day 😊
I loved watching your epic journey, and still such an amazing time. You are an inspiration to runners like me and just what I need at the moment. You got that 2:19:59 in you, hard work and training will pay off eventually. Hope to see you at parkrun one day. Boomshakalaka 🤘🏻
THAT was emotional to watch Nick!! Huge CONGRATS on an amazing run! So great to see it putting the fire in your belly!! Watching Charlotte giving it everything right behind you just brought tears to my eyes!! 🏅🏃♂🍾🥂
Dude, inspirational. And all of those people helping you,cheering you on and filming. You have won at life! And you will get your goal. Thank you for being such an inspiration, you are helping others too with your passion!
Love your vlogs and simply being real. You gave it your bester and yeah... You can't predict your performance until it's done. No regrets having pace yourself well until 30km. Hate the money time. But you did us proud. Really feel for you but the exciting thing is... We get to follow your journey as you attempt it again. ♥️💪
I’ve only just stumbled across your channel but really been enjoying it. Especially as I left the uk to study at university in South Africa before returning here. Lovely to hear those South African accents and see all the signing and camaraderie 👍👍
The goat struggled at the end also, you should be very proud of yourself. You did a great job and it’s motivation for the next time. Let’s go ….Boom Shalaka
You can only give 100% Nick. In the real world not every story has a fairytale ending but look where the journey has got you. Always another race.
Spoiler alert
you ran wayyyy over youre head. you are not in aub 220 shape. it just how the marathon goes. spend time with your family , and step away from running for a while. then come back

Great effort mate - That is the beauty of the marathon: It's really not that simple! Everything can and will happen!
Well done 😊
It’s all about Marathon buddy… 30 km of warm up and 12 km of race ! Great effort! Congrats!
You missed your goal by less than what Eliud did. Epic effort! You'll get it next time.
The most real post race thoughts ever - big respect for that! No excuses just honesty
2:22. That’s an absolutely sick time. Very consistent splits. Sub 5:30 pace. Superb performance, congrats.

Amazing work mate. I love how you encourage all runners no matter what their level!
That was me with the specters 16:26 The one you passed as say i started “struggling” 😅
You win some and some you win!!! This one, you won!! You gave it your all and spared nothing! Awesome job Nick!! Truly 😎👊🏻🤙🏻

Saw you on TV Live and i be like, that's Nick ! for many times!

Keep it up mate, you are an inspiration.
Thanks, that was an awesome run and great video. Great time. Love that you stayed on the line to support those that came after.
You will get it. It's within reach! Thanks for sharing so much with us. The marathon is just as mental as it is physical. That's what makes it crazy.

A great series as always and an epic race vlog.
You will get sub 2.20 one day 👊
Loved watching your training , has inspired me to start running (on treadmill for now but outdoor soon), will defo keep watching your progress
Well done Nick! I love the post race analysis and your admission that maybe you were just not in sub 2.20 shape.

Thanx for sharing ! Awesome ! I tracked you via the Berlin marathon app all the way ! ❤
Perhaps take a clinic with Charlotte on how to push hard to the line, and 2.20 is in your pocket. 🙂
You did incredible Nick!!! And see you next time for the 2:19, because we all know that you have that in you!!! BOOMCHAKALAKA
Sorry to hear you didn’t reach your goal this time. Look forward to watching the next effort!

What a race!! Epic effort in my books. Wish I could run that fast!
Marathon truly is the reaper of souls. Still an insane race and plenty more to come. Keep at it and sub 2.20 will come!
