    I’ve never really “liked” running until I stumbled upon Nico. After seeing his RUclips Shorts I started watching his RUclips videos and then became addicted to his editing skills and also because his way of speaking motivated me to find a bit of passion in running and how to celebrate yourself for even just getting outdoors and running. I just wanna say thank you Nico. Today marks day 7 of running and I was able to complete a full mile without stopping and instead of my body focusing on how tired it was my mind was celebrating the fact that I’m able to run a mile for someone who really never ran before other than on the baseball field. Thank you Nico, you’re an Inspiration and can’t wait to meet you one day in a marathon 🙏🏼🏃🏽

    I embarked on my marathon journey a few months ago, completing my first marathon in Bellingham, WA, with less than a month of training, finishing in 4:24:58. I've felt the weight of pressure to run my next marathon, the Seattle marathon on Dec 1st, in under 4 hours. Your videos have been a source of inspiration, but I've also struggled with comparisons; seeing you run comfortably at 6-minute miles while my fastest is around 7:24 has been tough. The saying “comparison is the death of happiness” rings true, and I found myself losing the joy and excitement in running. However, your reminder that time isn't everything and your inspiring content have shifted my mindset. I've rediscovered the joy in running, focusing on my progress rather than comparing myself to others. I still strive for improvement but now only compare myself to my own journey. I look forward to the possibility of meeting you at a shake-down run or the start line of a marathon.

    Love how positive and fun this marathon was for you. You can truly tell how carefree you felt and how grateful you felt to simply be there. Saying “I’m just grateful to have a body that works” hits so deep. As a nurse, I see how devastating it is for people everyday who wish they could do any sort of movement. So I always remember that on my runs as well whenever I start becoming ungrateful ❤️ Awesome video Nico!!!

    Really cool how you followed up Eugene with this one and had fun. Working on prep for my next race and making notes - thanks for sharing details! Also, I always thought running was about something else too - until I was nearly killed by a running horse, and now that I’m back to marathon running, I guess I’ve changed my mind to think that running is definitely about running. It’s about the visceral feeling of being alive. Great story on what that looks like!

    It can be tough to enjoy running when you have specific goals. Sometimes, I like to leave my AirPods at home and just head outside to run without worrying about my pace or distance. It’s a nice way to focus on the experience and enjoy the moment.

    One month before Chicago my dearest friend Barbara passed, at age of 36. I’ve learned a lot from her and her short but strong battle to cancer.
    I didn’t run my “best” marathon time, but I’ve run the most emotional marathon of my life. I’m so grateful. We are blessed.
    Keep going ❤️‍🔥💪🏻
