      what time are you falling asleep if youre up that early? literally if I try to wake up at 6am I am falling asleep by 7-8pm. I stopped doing it because I was going from being awake 16 hours to being awake for 13 hours. 3 hours is a lot of time to lose, nobody ever explains this part, they just brag about being up before the sun. would appreciate some tips/ your experience TIA

      @@Alex-jx8ez When you wake up, try doing something active, such as opening the windows or so. If you feel like going into bed again: don't; instead stand by your window and watch the outside for a minute then go make up your bed. After all, it's quite a shame to rumple up a nicely made up bed. Plus you've completed your first task of the day and your bed is nice.

    I've been running consistently for nearly three years and have never listened to music whilst doing so. It's music to my ears hearing the birds chirping insects squealing and the continuous beat of my stride while getting into deep thought.
    I'm not calling anyone out for using music it's probably quite awesome like I mentioned above I have never tried it.

    Why I run, not depressed, motivated, fitter, stronger, better, more energy, better sleep, better eating, no better high drug then running, it's a religious discipline were you can improve or change the way you do it, it's a fantastic metaphor for life, and this RUclips creator gets it because what he has said is exactly what I feel and think about running.

Dead last. It pissed me off because I knew I should have shown up prepared, I was so mad at myself. But that's life. You going through the motions and start seeing the things you're lacking in. I have until April to make the next OCS class, and from this point on, I'm not giving up on my running goals. Thank you, Nick! Please, keep me in your prayers.

    I just came across this video and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a 56 year old male, and I was and off an on runner for many years, but this year I've been able to stick with it for 6 months now. It's like an addiction for me, I keep waking up in the middle of the night, waiting for 4:15 am to come around and strap on my Hoka's and grab my black Labrador and head out for a run. I was running 5 to 6 times a week, but I started having calf issues, but now I'm back to 3 to 4 times a week. I'm building a good base and hope to up my mileage soon. Great video, thanks.....

    extremely relatable for me right now I started running for my navy bootcamp july 19 2021 went from 0 running to 30 weekly Mileage. I’ve seen so much improvement in my running and my mental drive I have now. I never understood running and thought its dumb. I experienced a runners high on a 8 mile run one day and I understood why people run. All the days of painful running , that one day I get sometimes where it’s just pleasure and not pain and total mental focus is a addictive feeling. I have a feeling I will continue to run for the rest of my life.
