AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, someone shares my dilemma... not being able to go outside until the bathroom business - #2 - is taken care of. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!
If weight loss or cutting fat is your goal then lift first to exhaust (as much as you can) the glycogen in your muscles and liver. After that, you're burning fat. If you can do that in a fasted state, you'll burn even more fat.
Absolutely. Get the coffee on first thing, get me regular, banana, iron tablet, 500ml water, foam roll the shit outa everything and after all of that I'm ready for king kongs first dump of the day then a run, lol.
7K per run is not a lot of running though. He is smart, he is doing the kind of distance that wouldn't impact his muscle. I run 15K, basically double what he does for a single run, and it burns lots of calories and muscle to an extent. Like he said in other video, it's about balancing what you prioritize. There is no magic. You can't be a serious runner and be jacked. You can be a moderate runner however.
@@RavusNox-z5i people who run 20 miles a day are burning so many calories putting them deep into a caloric deficit, that and the fact most distant runners purposely remain small so they can be better runners and they prob dont follow a proper weight lifting split. Running burning muscle is a myth if you are running 3-4 miles a day and a steady pace as long as you are willing to continue with your weight lifting split and make sure you are eating a sufficient amount of calories. Most big guys say running loses muscle due to the fact big guys hate doing cardio and most of them are too heavy or unfit to run a mile. Carrying 250 lbs and trying to run is extremely tough heck even 200 lbs. Mike tyson would run 3 miles everyday and he weighed 220 lbs at 5'10
@@aaron_johal39 Trust me buddy, I know all this, having gone from 95kg bodybuilder 10 years ago to 75kg runner today :) As a runner, I am basically always hungry because I burn so many calories and can basically stuff my face with anything and I am still shredded like a concentration camp inmate lol. The thing about running is once you go over 10K you keep running more and it's addictive. I remember as a bodybuilder I was sluggish and running felt like hell. My entire body was hurting because running with lots of muscles puts huge strain on your bones/frame/etc. I felt like shit. Hence why I imagine most lifters hater running. What I'm TRYING to do is re-introduce some lifting into my running so I don't look so ectomorphic. But it's really really really not easy to add slabs of muscle and be bodybuilding aesthetic whilst being a runner. I'm feeling like adding two weightlifting sessions with the big 3 but I feel I might be wasting time.
Have you ever heard of construction workers, dockers, road workers and farmers? These guys do 8-12 hours of "met-con" work every fcking day with one lunch break. With all due respect, running for an hour and lifting for an hour, is not really the same thing as loading cement bags for 10 hours straight :) I respect all athletes, but people tend to forget that half the worlds population still work manually for generations on end. You just have to try to pave a few roads in a summer sun for a few 8 hour shifts and then you tell me, how hard is it to just run in comfy shoes, or lift some shiny dumbbells in an air conditioned gym with hot babes bending over exercises machines :D
I’ve ran 7.5 miles every single day since April 16th, 2020. No days off (foolish I know but it was more of a mental journey). And I’ve lost 20 pounds on caloric deficit. Went from 230lbs-210lbs this morning. I’m gonna model my training regime similar to this now so I don’t plateau and/or injure myself.
When running I open my mouth to breathe to catch my breath there's always some crazy group of gnats swarming around & always think if they get in that's more protein.
This is probably the worst part of running to be honest. I was on a tempo run the other day and was breathing pretty hard. Ran right into a swarm and inhaled some right into the back of my throat and down my lungs. Got some in my eyes too. So not only could I not breathe but I also couldn't see lol.
I remember I came across one of your videos forever ago when you was serving, I served in the British Army so after watching a few military videos I think that's how I came across your channel. It's been great watching you do so many different things in life, I'm also very happy you started running as that's something I've always done. Keep it up brother!
Thanks Nick! I’ve been wondering how to balance it, because every time I do more run I felt like I was losing muscle. Now I see it’s imperative to balance it out. I appreciate this! You are the best.
I used to only run when I was in High School and 1st year of college collegiately (XC and Track) and I was like 150-155 lb but I was running like 70 - 80 miles a week and was a pretty competitive runner. Then I started lifting weights and running like 20 - 30 miles a week but it was a super fast track workouts (400m repeats type stuff) and I was like 180-185 lbs. Then I stopped running completely and just feel in love with getting as big as possible. I got up to 200 lbs and still could see my 6 pack. Then I started bulking and it was a dirty one lol and got up to 230lb. I'm down to 220 lbs now and have started running since quarantine and plan to get back to that 180 -185 lb sweet spot (still strong but still fast at the same time). Super impressed with Nicks 4:53 mile at 194 lbs, I ran a 4:32 in high school but I was 150 pounds so to see a big guy run that fast is really something cool.
Hey if u don't mind what are your meals like? I'm a xc runner as well and want to build muscle but still run and it feels like when I do both I don't Excel at either due to what I'm eating. So could u tell me what ur meals are? Btw I'm naturally very thin at around 135-140 but currently I'm pretty strong at around 157-160. Ive been stuck at the 160 mark forever and wanna be around 175 to 180. Tbh I would go in the "hardgainer" category. Thanks!
@@taylormerrell2982 Well when I got up to 180 - 185 range I was eating really big breakfasts (5-6 eggs with 3-4 pieces of toast) or ( a large bowl of oatmeal with several scoops of peanut butter) then I wouldn't eat till the evening and then I would have another relatively large meal that was a little smaller then my breakfast mainly of chicken or steak and rice or pasta. That seemed to work well for me, and of course I was drinking protein shakes after I would workout. When I got up to 200 lbs I started eating 3 times a day and I guess that paired with not running anymore and solely focusing of lifts led to an increase in weight, but I wasn't eating anything special same things as before only difference was now for lunch I was eating 2 sandwiches or burritos. When I got to 230 I decided to just say screw it and ate really unclean fast-food 2-3 times a week to really gain the most mass possible (I wouldn't recommend that much haha), plus I switched to a more power lifting type workout schedule mainly of deadlifts and squats to help with the mass. Thats what worked for me, and this is probably obvious but if I where you I would maybe slowly reduce your cardio and the number of calories you exert and start gradually increasing how much your eating every week till you hit that sweet spot. Since your probably pretty lean at your current weight it wouldn't even be that bad to eat some unhealthy food once a week (as long as you're really lifting hard) and see how much you gain week by week. Once you hit your number cut the junk food and see if you can't maintain that weigh via protein shakes and larger healthier meals. But that's just my opinion and I am by no means an expert, I just know that my body responds to that pretty well. Best of luck!
I was Marine Corps and Army, there’s gonna a be a lot of running in both branches. I would definitely use the Push/Pull workout in between. Nobody told me I had to get into shape for the Marines lol, but I still graduated without being recycled. Army was better because I knew what to expect lol. I hope you guys kill it the first time around and graduate. Get some!!!
I used to weight 249 pounds, now I am 187 pounds. I run about 40km a week, and do powerlifting 3 times a week. And it works, for me. Im no runner at all, but I can run 10km in under 50min, and can do 190kg deadlift, 150kg squat and 115kg bench. And I'm happy with that.
How do you have time for your dogs and wife. I love how productive you are and obviously you don’t show everything on camera but running all of this and doing a RUclips channel. It’s mad mad mad impressive bro. You have my utmost respect
@@gauravbhosale167 if you want, but for what it's worth, I'm on a push/pull/legs split and I've replaced a lot of running with biking. It's better than the full body plan for me.
@@limitisillusion7 Ya thinking the same, I attempted to break my previous 5km record which was 26 minutes 53 seconds and today I ran 5 km in 26 minutes 9 seconds, next week another try
Hey quick question, I'm currently on a FBW plan too 3x a week, so do you run on the weightlifting rest days or you do them on the same day? Personally my shaky legs after heavy squats cant do the job properly for running session afterwards lol
@@ranggasaktibudiputra1547 I do a push, pull, legs split now. More time for recovery and more time for cardio unhindered by leg days. I don't run on leg days, maybe a hike at most. I'll usually bike the day after leg days which is easier than running. I can run any day but leg day and the day after without being held back.
i started running in Jan (really working at it). At the time, 2-3 miles was my ceiling. Now in July, an average run is 5-6 miles. Keep getting after it!
I started running 2 weeks ago and my first run I could barely complete a mile (1.6km) without stopping. 2 weeks in now I can go 4km (2.5miles) without stopping. Starting 3rd week tommorow. It just takes time bro.
Nestor Loyola yeah takes a while to get to. I’m 6’2 so a little leaner than you do that’d make sense why your bench is higher and my miles a little lower. Plus I have a soccer background too so that’s why my cardiovascular endurance is better. Can’t fucking imagine doing an iron man at this weight tho that’s why nick is dope to watch
I’m 250lbs and this video is perfect for me, I run about 40 miles a week and lift weights 3 times a week. I am slowly starting to up both. Great video 🇺🇸
juicybacon12 I’d take a look at the book called “Tactical Barbell”. All of this is possible. Your mind state immediately goes to negativity and steroids when you’ve clearly never put any thought in training and balancing priorities. Just saying...
I'm 227 lbs. now down from 256lbs started this year. Older now mid 50's but really happy to be at present weight. Have run in the past but walking now. Doing keto an fasting. Great job everyone:)
Hey nick I've been running like you and training hard in prep for a 18x contract I have. My mile for time was a 5:12, I'm 6'2 and 160 ish last time I checked. Thank you bro and keep up the good work.
I model my life in a similar way just not the 7 mile runs every day I do 2.23 mile runs every day, I'm 19 years old with big ambitions, and seeing Nick always striving to better himself, the successful businesses, and the wealth he has created inspires me even further to keep to the path I'm creating for myself.
You are the only one so far that see the story behind the story....this guy is No athlete...he is a money making machine...the times he is running...I mean cooome ooon !!!!
Finally. I’ve never understood the constant narrative for you either have to be a runner or a lifter, not both. I’ve always done both and have never understood the narrative. Thank you for this!!!
Yo you’ve come a long way from those military vids I used to watch when I considered serving. Happy to see what you’ve done with your life and brand since then your grit and grind is very inspiring.
Hey Nick! This was super helpful. My goal this year is to gain about 10 pounds of muscle and take about and hour and a half off my marathon time to qualify for Boston at the 2023 LA Marathon as a vegan. This video is a huge help for that goal. Thank you.
I always tried to make a protein sludge but it just never came out right. Until... I snagged some bpn protein and boom! Perfect sludge. Not sure if it’s the added casein but the consistency comes out perfect and the flavor is amazing. Keep pumping good products out Nick!
siciliancannoliandanespresso not really, if you look at the build of guys in the SAS, SBS, Paras and Royal Marines they are all ripped but light and not heavily built, although this could be that the British armed forces put heavy emphasis on being able to march (yomp) vast distances over tough terrain
Easy run is more about speed. It’s where you run under your lactate treshold, which is, as per one definition, ”the maximal speed or effort that an athlete can maintain for an extended period and still have little or no increase in lactate. This extended period of time can be as much as an hour or possibly longer.” (www.lactate.com/lactate_threshold.html) If you can’t yet run for an extended period, then slow down to power walking or brisk walking, and that is your easy ”run” pace, the distance is correspondingly shorter.
Hi Nick! A little message just to tell you that even in France we follow you and you inspire us (and not even need subtitles 😁😜). More specifically, I wanted to thank you for your content. I discovered you during your preparation for Hawaii and since then I am a fan! I am 22 years old and I rhythm my weeks like yours (4x gym, 4x Run, 2x swimming - no swimming during the covid-19 haha 😂). I've never felt so good physically 😍. I had to do my first triathlon (after 17 years as soccer player you convinced me to start this discipline) this June in Paris but it's postponed.. If one day you come to Paris, don't hesitate! We will have a run session and and a big bbq héhé !! À bientôt ! 😁
I just started running again... a 10k twice a week and I was patting myself on the back until I saw this video! I'm going to shoot for 3 times a week and try and push the limits, Thanks for the extra motivation!
You look so much healthier since you started seriously running and losing weight. Could you do a segment/comment in a future video describing the changes and benefits you feel since making running a priority. If you had to choose one sport to continue and one to give up, running, biking, swimming or lifting, which would you choose to continue and why would you give up on the others.
Awesome timing, I picked up running with gyms closed over quarantine. I began thinking about what I would do once gyms reopened as I was actually quite enjoying running. Great video!
appreciate the help nick!! currently training for the Royal Navy in the UK and i've been struggling to find the right mix of cardio & weights. This helped enormously!!
Productive? What has he done except for running and lifting all day? Does he have a job? Does he contribute to society in any way? "Productive" isn't excactly the word that comes to mind. Really says a lot about the Westen world these days when a guy who does nothing for a living is called "the most productive human alive". That's insane.
Out of all the guys I’ve read about/watched/listened to over the years this guy definitely fits the into they type of training and diet that feels particular for me
I feel so inspired mate. Thank yoy for this. I have been doubting my capacity of running fast for a while being a muscular athlete at 88kg. I would love to run a sub 3hrs marathon. Now I feel more motivated than ever. 👍
Thanks for this Video. I am in pretty much the same situation as you when it comes to fitness goals and this is really encouraging to stay on that path.
Good stuff! I run a lot of ultramarathons, but I've been trying to burn fat and build muscle. Right now I'm focusing on fitting both into my schedule and adjust what I eat.
hey nick, I’m curious how you deal with leg day while keeping a tight running schedule? do you count runs as hitting legs or do you incorporate legs into your body weight core days?
@@Ema-fm5zy That's not what he asked though. As any runner knows, doing something like squats the day before destroys a run. You need fresh legs to run. And yes running hits your legs massively esp calves.
@@RavusNox-z5i hello i need help i follow push pull legs and i run daily in the morning and weight train in the evening can you help me what can i do in the running schedule
First question is what are you goals with your weight training. Are you lifting weights to gain muscle or to gain strength. Building muscle requires generally speaking a caloric surplus and protein. You need to work out what you burn on your runs and put those calories back in before the end of the day. I suggest running in the morning and weight training in the evening. As long as your eating a caloric surplus and the necessary protein you should be able to build muscle regardless of your running, in your upper body at least. The issue is building leg size while you run. Your legs need time to recover in order to grow. 1-3 days of rest depending on how hard you worked then in the gym. Moderate cardio shouldn’t harm your growth but intense cardio for long periods of time doesn’t allow the muscles to repair and grow effectively. Here’s what I suggest when you train legs don’t train them too heavy but hard enough to stimulate growth, then take the next day to perform a easy light run of no longer than 45 mins. This shouldn’t harm your leg development and some study’s suggest it could actually help. The following day you should be able to run at high intensity again. Take as many rest days as you need and adjust the intensity of your workouts as you need. Make sure the legs are getting enough time to recover and that you are putting the calories you burn back into your body. You may feel more fatigued on workouts when training twice a day. This is were diet and supplements can help. Everyone’s body is different there is no exact blue print try things out and see what works best for you. It’s clear that this man has found what works for him. With trial and error make your own program that fits around you and meets your specific needs and goals
Hey Nick! I love your content! Especially this one because I love weight lifting and running. Running a virtual 5K very soon. I feel like we have a lot of things in common. I’m trying to get to your body physique!
Hey Nick my name is Alex Keller, I am a 2LT in the reserves and I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for all you do, this video helped me a lot because I am an amateur bodybuilder trying to earn my pro card but I still need to be able to run for the APFT and new ACFT, I really enjoy watching your videos and I wish you nothing but the best with all you do....hope you have a wonderful day and keep being you💪
Hey Nick, thanks for the great video. Just what I have been looking for. I am coming from endurance sports and starting to do more weights now but without giving up my running and biking. It is a tough balance. Thanks. Take care.
Hey Nick, I'm 24 Years old, You're my Inspiration. You're amazing, Thank you so much for all these amazing content. I'm going through a transformation, I've been Running 5K every morning and Weight Training in the evening. Thank you for all these tips, I've Come from 95.3Kg to 83.5Kg in Three Months. I can't wait to follow your Routines/Tips and Training.
When you train for a sub 3 marathon it is easy. The funny thing, I'm a beginning runner and the speed of my 100m intervals is slower than some people run their marathon
@@tubandt84 yeah makes sense. It's relative to different people. For me, someone who doesn't run, 1 mile is a challenge (probably more mental than physical). But if someone runs often, especially as often as nick, I get how 7 miles is easy lol.
Agreed. Always run first. Get the blood moving, get fully warmed up, then get that pump. I've seen good effect running one mile fast, then lifting, then running a mile, then lifting, rise repeat as many times as I can, sequencing heavy lifts to light. Works for me, and that's the key. What works for you. It's encouraging seeing someone getting some bulk also putting focus into running, because so many sell the idea that you have to choose. Plus, I will tell you this: When you run five miles plus a day, EVERY day is leg day.
Brown rice and hard boiled eggs baby, thats my favorite post run breakfast but many people like to counter it. Just wanted to throw it down for anyone who would like to try it out!
a video showing differences in speed(mile, 5k, half marathon times) and strength numbers (like deadlift, squat, bench etc.) now vs speed and strength numbers when you were more heavily focused on lifting than running would be interesting!
he has a coach so I assume yes. It helps your performance as you gain (or at least maintain for him) a certain strength in your legs. So long story short, if you run at 5% of your max rep and your max rep is higher, your 5% will be faster but not harder.
Yes. Several studies have shown squatting improves running economy for endurance runners. However, the accumulation of fatigue will be very high with lots of squats. A track athlete would probably squat just 1 x per week especially as they might have several days of double running training.
it can only help depending on the day in your schedule. if you don't need to worry about tempo that day or the following id squat. i do both regardless if its a run or lift day. even if its just body weight.
been watching your videos for a little while over quarantine. such good content here mate, really helping me on my workouts for basketball etc just with how productive and motivational you are dude. keep being you, keep up the content, and strength to you x
People really don’t understand how possible this is. As a 130 lb 18 year old girl I run a 5:09 mile and deadlift 300 and I truly believe that my abilities in strength and endurance and help each other
"BW" = Calisthenics. The training regimen seems logical. Run first, weights second. Simultaneously do both on same day, Each day different set of muscles, Have a day off for one or the other and have them spread apart. I'm suprised tho there's no running form emphasis. That will drastically effect a weight lifters running performance
Nick you have inspired me to start my own RUclips and train for my first ever marathon. My first ever video clip was of BPN greens and Super reds 😂.I’m English but living in America. I’m going to have a marathon series starting Monday and would love people to follow my journey and give me feedback on how to make the videos better!
I have a hard time finding balance tbh. I either go balls to the wall running/sprinting or weight training. I tend to run a ton during summer, and during autumn and winter I lift (I live in Scandinavia)
Hey Nick, thanks for all your videos. You have inspired me to vlog my Journey to Steelhead for my first 70.3. Sadly it’s been canceled this year, but I will come out even stronger for next year!!
My training is Monday: Gym, Tuesday: Run, Wednesday: Gym, Thursday: Run, Friday: Gym, Saturday: Run. Everyday i walk with my dogs 3 times per day slowly about 5km per time.
peeped that black cam MVT t-shirt from lululemon you put on after your run. Im an educator for lululemon, basically a retail associate, but I can no longer unsee lululemon apparel everywhere i go now.. Love the vi. It was a big ol'sub from me. This was the first video Im seeing of yours and I'm satisfied.
How are you holding so much muscle with all of that running? Also how is your body not breaking down from more activity than a pro athlete? Genuinely curious because your program intensity is incredible.
he's said in his videos that he's eating enough to maintain his size. Given the amount he's running, he's probably eating over 3k calories to maintain.
being aware of your body and how youre recovering is key. I always hear about people creating these strict regiments that they have to follow. I most only plan time windows and plan based on my goals. Ex: for back day I dont awlays have to do deadlifts. Maybe give your legs a break and do back extensions and or barbell rows because you already had a legday the day before, and theyre still recovering. Minor Adjustments. Great video
Actually, it's not *that* important to know. Diets are all similar. Try to focus on what YOU like to eat. There are simple thumb rules for a healthy diet that everyone can adjust to: 25-30% Protein max. 30% Fat (mainly vegetable fats/more unsaturated) 45-50% Carbs Fats are needed for digesting vitamins, health of our cells and producing hormons etc., so don't let the word "fat" discourage you... And btw., the legendary Internet Fitness Pro Meal *rice + chicken* is not a must. If you try to puzzle stuff together that you like, it's far more enjoyable...
Thanks for your service. I am weight training with barbell: squat, bench, press, deadlifts and pull ups using starting strength method. Currently 71 and thanks to you will add jogging to my schedule ; 2x per week plus 3x weight training. This will make my weight training more difficult resulting in less progress, as well as jogging. Do you experience this with doing both?
New to the channel...thanks for this Nick, so glad to see someone like you promoting both running and weightlifting. There are way too many meatheads who keep calling running detrimental and worthless compared to lifting. There are even people who I genuinely respect like Jeff Cavaliere who kind of dis on running as cardio. Aside from training specifically for running races, it seems a lot of these others miss another very basic thing that some of us run for: *FUN* Added bonus: running is more beneficial in a zombie apocalypse. According to movies and the internet most zombies are strong af but they can't run worth shit (except for those damn world war Z ones)
I loaded a couple of backpacks with bricks and I get a great workout when combined with battle ropes, dumbells, weighted vest and bodyweight exercises. I do not think I will be going back to the gym when the quarantine is over.
@x GeneraI 7 45 for easy pace is actually good for 7-10 miles, even for season runners, depends on your weight also and if u live in an area with alot of humidity during summer months.
exactly, like how in tf is that an easy run. I would say 4 miles would be sufficient to be deemed easy and probably around a 8-9 min pace per mile. @ pace per mile for an "easy" run is pretty crazy. for a ver conditioned athlete yes, but for like 85% of people def not.
“I have to go to the bathroom before a run because if I don’t it doesn’t feel right” that’s truest thing I’ve ever heard about running
Pte Simpson 34 same here
Yeah, if I don't poop before running or jogging, it feels like it'll come out while you're doing it and that ruins the whole thing.
or when you feel like going #2 but nothing happens. Then halfway you get that feeling again and its BAD
lmaooo I’m having my pre run shit as I write this
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, someone shares my dilemma... not being able to go outside until the bathroom business - #2 - is taken care of. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!
I always lift first because running with a pump gives me mad swag.
LOLOL...so true!
😂😂
If weight loss or cutting fat is your goal then lift first to exhaust (as much as you can) the glycogen in your muscles and liver. After that, you're burning fat. If you can do that in a fasted state, you'll burn even more fat.
same here! lol
TideFan Yankee so for gaining size I should i run first?
This man is the most productive man alive rn
I didn't see David Goggins in this...

How about people who actually work for a living, I'd say they are more productive than this guy.
MrE You’ve gotta watch more of his videos
“Hate going on the run without going to the bathroom”
Totally agree and relate to that lol gotta drop a deuce before working out, it’s ritual...
Absolutely. Get the coffee on first thing, get me regular, banana, iron tablet, 500ml water, foam roll the shit outa everything and after all of that I'm ready for king kongs first dump of the day then a run, lol.
Pynancial lol true man it just feels right
Same here, it's too weird if you didn't drop a pound before running 😂
@@AnkitSinghAnarchoAtheist oooof. Agreed. Although needing to use the bathroom when running is one hell of a motivator lol
When I used to train mid-long distances, I was terrified of getting 4 miles out and having to take a dump
You're an inspiration to so many people. Being able to maintain that physique while running long distance is probably the hardest thing anyone can do.
Lol no… look at special forces. They run hike climb for miles and miles and miles. Those guys are machines more than this guy.
They are skinny as fuck though. The goal is to maintain muscle mass while being a runner.
7K per run is not a lot of running though.
He is smart, he is doing the kind of distance that wouldn't impact his muscle.
I run 15K, basically double what he does for a single run, and it burns lots of calories and muscle to an extent.
Like he said in other video, it's about balancing what you prioritize.
There is no magic. You can't be a serious runner and be jacked. You can be a moderate runner however.
@@RavusNox-z5i people who run 20 miles a day are burning so many calories putting them deep into a caloric deficit, that and the fact most distant runners purposely remain small so they can be better runners and they prob dont follow a proper weight lifting split.
Running burning muscle is a myth if you are running 3-4 miles a day and a steady pace as long as you are willing to continue with your weight lifting split and make sure you are eating a sufficient amount of calories.
Most big guys say running loses muscle due to the fact big guys hate doing cardio and most of them are too heavy or unfit to run a mile.
Carrying 250 lbs and trying to run is extremely tough heck even 200 lbs. Mike tyson would run 3 miles everyday and he weighed 220 lbs at 5'10
@@aaron_johal39 Trust me buddy, I know all this, having gone from 95kg bodybuilder 10 years ago to 75kg runner today :)
As a runner, I am basically always hungry because I burn so many calories and can basically stuff my face with anything and I am still shredded like a concentration camp inmate lol. The thing about running is once you go over 10K you keep running more and it's addictive. I remember as a bodybuilder I was sluggish and running felt like hell. My entire body was hurting because running with lots of muscles puts huge strain on your bones/frame/etc. I felt like shit. Hence why I imagine most lifters hater running. What I'm TRYING to do is re-introduce some lifting into my running so I don't look so ectomorphic. But it's really really really not easy to add slabs of muscle and be bodybuilding aesthetic whilst being a runner. I'm feeling like adding two weightlifting sessions with the big 3 but I feel I might be wasting time.
People don’t understand how much this man does, he is running and lifting 6 days out of the week.
Roy James yeah and to add to that the amount of running he’s doing.
Have you ever heard of construction workers, dockers, road workers and farmers? These guys do 8-12 hours of "met-con" work every fcking day with one lunch break. With all due respect, running for an hour and lifting for an hour, is not really the same thing as loading cement bags for 10 hours straight :) I respect all athletes, but people tend to forget that half the worlds population still work manually for generations on end. You just have to try to pave a few roads in a summer sun for a few 8 hour shifts and then you tell me, how hard is it to just run in comfy shoes, or lift some shiny dumbbells in an air conditioned gym with hot babes bending over exercises machines :D
Normal workload if you are a ambitious athlete. Plus don't forget he's not training legs. Still a good amout considering how busy he is.
I do the same man... (but I'm slow as fuck and look like shit)
And running a company. Being a husband etc
I’ve ran 7.5 miles every single day since April 16th, 2020. No days off (foolish I know but it was more of a mental journey). And I’ve lost 20 pounds on caloric deficit. Went from 230lbs-210lbs this morning. I’m gonna model my training regime similar to this now so I don’t plateau and/or injure myself.
Cap no way
7.5 miles at 230lbs? Lol, okay whatever you say bro.
@@futuregenesis97 I’m 230 and I can do this but not every fucking day lol
It can be done. I believe him. Probably did it for 3 months or so

"I hate going on a morning run and getting the morning runs"
Sydney Starkey Been there done that, more than once. Let’s say it’s a shitty way to start or finish your day. 🥴
Sydney Starkey i do not really umderstand what you mean😁
@@Helios_zm in some cases "The runs" refer to an immediate need to use the restroom. It's pretty gross to talk about so I will not go into detail 😂
You ALWAYS take a dump before you do cardio
Absolutely 😂..I remember once I didn't do that and my stomach was so bloated after just 5k 😂
When running I open my mouth to breathe to catch my breath there's always some crazy group of gnats swarming around & always think if they get in that's more protein.
Hitting those macros while running is next level
I had to stop 3 times on a run yesterday to pull gnats from my eye..
This is probably the worst part of running to be honest. I was on a tempo run the other day and was breathing pretty hard. Ran right into a swarm and inhaled some right into the back of my throat and down my lungs. Got some in my eyes too. So not only could I not breathe but I also couldn't see lol.
@@alexanderlam7897 Shit did you live?
As Jocko would say
GOOD. MORE PROTEIN TO FUEL YOUR SYSTEM.
I remember I came across one of your videos forever ago when you was serving, I served in the British Army so after watching a few military videos I think that's how I came across your channel.
It's been great watching you do so many different things in life, I'm also very happy you started running as that's something I've always done.
Keep it up brother!
Trying to throw down another 5 minute mile @ 190 and 46 yo this year, this is inspiring!
Thanks Nick! I’ve been wondering how to balance it, because every time I do more run I felt like I was losing muscle. Now I see it’s imperative to balance it out. I appreciate this! You are the best.
Im eating a butterfinger blizzard while watching this hoping to find better insight.
I used to only run when I was in High School and 1st year of college collegiately (XC and Track) and I was like 150-155 lb but I was running like 70 - 80 miles a week and was a pretty competitive runner. Then I started lifting weights and running like 20 - 30 miles a week but it was a super fast track workouts (400m repeats type stuff) and I was like 180-185 lbs. Then I stopped running completely and just feel in love with getting as big as possible. I got up to 200 lbs and still could see my 6 pack. Then I started bulking and it was a dirty one lol and got up to 230lb. I'm down to 220 lbs now and have started running since quarantine and plan to get back to that 180 -185 lb sweet spot (still strong but still fast at the same time). Super impressed with Nicks 4:53 mile at 194 lbs, I ran a 4:32 in high school but I was 150 pounds so to see a big guy run that fast is really something cool.
Hey if u don't mind what are your meals like? I'm a xc runner as well and want to build muscle but still run and it feels like when I do both I don't Excel at either due to what I'm eating. So could u tell me what ur meals are? Btw I'm naturally very thin at around 135-140 but currently I'm pretty strong at around 157-160. Ive been stuck at the 160 mark forever and wanna be around 175 to 180. Tbh I would go in the "hardgainer" category. Thanks!
I agree
@@taylormerrell2982 Well when I got up to 180 - 185 range I was eating really big breakfasts (5-6 eggs with 3-4 pieces of toast) or ( a large bowl of oatmeal with several scoops of peanut butter) then I wouldn't eat till the evening and then I would have another relatively large meal that was a little smaller then my breakfast mainly of chicken or steak and rice or pasta. That seemed to work well for me, and of course I was drinking protein shakes after I would workout. When I got up to 200 lbs I started eating 3 times a day and I guess that paired with not running anymore and solely focusing of lifts led to an increase in weight, but I wasn't eating anything special same things as before only difference was now for lunch I was eating 2 sandwiches or burritos. When I got to 230 I decided to just say screw it and ate really unclean fast-food 2-3 times a week to really gain the most mass possible (I wouldn't recommend that much haha), plus I switched to a more power lifting type workout schedule mainly of deadlifts and squats to help with the mass. Thats what worked for me, and this is probably obvious but if I where you I would maybe slowly reduce your cardio and the number of calories you exert and start gradually increasing how much your eating every week till you hit that sweet spot. Since your probably pretty lean at your current weight it wouldn't even be that bad to eat some unhealthy food once a week (as long as you're really lifting hard) and see how much you gain week by week. Once you hit your number cut the junk food and see if you can't maintain that weigh via protein shakes and larger healthier meals. But that's just my opinion and I am by no means an expert, I just know that my body responds to that pretty well. Best of luck!
@@TheDarkWolfHunter thanks man ur awesome, goodluck with your gains!
How tall are ya bro
I’m joining the marines and this is the level of fitness I’m striving for, I’m getting there💪🏼
Yeah im planning to join army i started running 1 month ago every day
I was Marine Corps and Army, there’s gonna a be a lot of running in both branches. I would definitely use the Push/Pull workout in between. Nobody told me I had to get into shape for the Marines lol, but I still graduated without being recycled. Army was better because I knew what to expect lol.

I’m having this issue right now, this video is a blessing
I've been running every other day and full body workout on the off running day. Seems like a solid balance.
Should I follow your strategy?
@@gauravbhosale167 if you want, but for what it's worth, I'm on a push/pull/legs split and I've replaced a lot of running with biking. It's better than the full body plan for me.
@@limitisillusion7 Ya thinking the same, I attempted to break my previous 5km record which was 26 minutes 53 seconds and today I ran 5 km in 26 minutes 9 seconds, next week another try
Hey quick question, I'm currently on a FBW plan too 3x a week, so do you run on the weightlifting rest days or you do them on the same day? Personally my shaky legs after heavy squats cant do the job properly for running session afterwards lol
@@ranggasaktibudiputra1547 I do a push, pull, legs split now. More time for recovery and more time for cardio unhindered by leg days. I don't run on leg days, maybe a hike at most. I'll usually bike the day after leg days which is easier than running. I can run any day but leg day and the day after without being held back.
This video literally made me get up and go for a run! Most inspirational fitness RUclipsr there is.
Naw bruh. Wes Watson and CT Fletcher will make you move. NB is nice tho with his vids and training,
He said a 7 mile easy run. Lol I"m still trying to run a mile. Lol
When I started running I could barely run an 1/8 mile and would get out of breath tying my shoes... it takes time but you’ll get there
i started running in Jan (really working at it). At the time, 2-3 miles was my ceiling. Now in July, an average run is 5-6 miles. Keep getting after it!
I started running 2 weeks ago and my first run I could barely complete a mile (1.6km) without stopping. 2 weeks in now I can go 4km (2.5miles) without stopping. Starting 3rd week tommorow. It just takes time bro.
Anything past 4+ miles is hard af
You’re racing the person you were yesterday.

Nestor Loyola yeah takes a while to get to. I’m 6’2 so a little leaner than you do that’d make sense why your bench is higher and my miles a little lower. Plus I have a soccer background too so that’s why my cardiovascular endurance is better. Can’t fucking imagine doing an iron man at this weight tho that’s why nick is dope to watch
Nick most likely is on test, that’s why he’s able to look so ”full” at that BF%
Nick Bare was my inspiration to start incorporating running and steady state long distance cardio into my workout split.
I’m 250lbs and this video is perfect for me, I run about 40 miles a week and lift weights 3 times a week. I am slowly starting to up both. Great video 🇺🇸
250lbs and 40 miles a week? That’s beastly dude, I now either need a new set of excuses or just get my ass runnin’ more
For real. I've never been able to balance this. If I'm training for a race, my weight lifting is garbage. And vice versa.
I know I hate this too. Especially putting in the work on both fronts and feeling like progress is going super slow or even backwards.
Do both equally. Focus on gaining strength and focus on running. Just eat enough food to not burn through muscle.
David Fitzgerald fr ofc no natty person is gonna be able to do this shit. I like the vids but he’s Creating such unrealistic expectations
Yes its difficult , but not impossible .. keep growing
juicybacon12 I’d take a look at the book called “Tactical Barbell”. All of this is possible. Your mind state immediately goes to negativity and steroids when you’ve clearly never put any thought in training and balancing priorities. Just saying...

Chris Peterson You obviously don’t know very many SF guys.. or you’re just naive or ignorant.
This video was crazy helpful! I felt guilty for lifting less but realized it’s only because my priority is running because of a upcoming race!
A month ago I started running again after 5 years. Can't wait till I can call a 10k my 'easy run'.
Easy run is more about speed. It’s where you run under your lactate treshold, which is, as per one definition, ”the maximal speed or effort that an athlete can maintain for an extended period and still have little or no increase in lactate. This extended period of time can be as much as an hour or possibly longer.” (www.lactate.com/lactate_threshold.html) If you can’t yet run for an extended period, then slow down to power walking or brisk walking, and that is your easy ”run” pace, the distance is correspondingly shorter.
Hi Nick!
A little message just to tell you that even in France we follow you and you inspire us (and not even need subtitles 😁😜).
More specifically, I wanted to thank you for your content. I discovered you during your preparation for Hawaii and since then I am a fan! I am 22 years old and I rhythm my weeks like yours (4x gym, 4x Run, 2x swimming - no swimming during the covid-19 haha 😂). I've never felt so good physically 😍. I had to do my first triathlon (after 17 years as soccer player you convinced me to start this discipline) this June in Paris but it's postponed..
If one day you come to Paris, don't hesitate! We will have a run session and and a big bbq héhé !!
À bientôt ! 😁
I just started running again...
a 10k twice a week and I was patting myself on the back until I saw this video!
I'm going to shoot for 3 times a week and try and push the limits,
Thanks for the extra motivation!
You look so much healthier since you started seriously running and losing weight. Could you do a segment/comment in a future video describing the changes and benefits you feel since making running a priority. If you had to choose one sport to continue and one to give up, running, biking, swimming or lifting, which would you choose to continue and why would you give up on the others.
Awesome timing, I picked up running with gyms closed over quarantine. I began thinking about what I would do once gyms reopened as I was actually quite enjoying running. Great video!
Same here and I'm sure I'll try to do both now. That ofcourse means I'll drop my weight lifting volume down a little bit.
appreciate the help nick!! currently training for the Royal Navy in the UK and i've been struggling to find the right mix of cardio & weights. This helped enormously!!

Nobody has time for goggins.. Nick is so much more enjoyable to watch and he doesn’t recycle the same speech over and over again
Elon Musk; Am I a joke to you?
Productive? What has he done except for running and lifting all day? Does he have a job? Does he contribute to society in any way? "Productive" isn't excactly the word that comes to mind. Really says a lot about the Westen world these days when a guy who does nothing for a living is called "the most productive human alive". That's insane.

Good stuff!
I run a lot of ultramarathons, but I've been trying to burn fat and build muscle. Right now I'm focusing on fitting both into my schedule and adjust what I eat.
hey nick, I’m curious how you deal with leg day while keeping a tight running schedule? do you count runs as hitting legs or do you incorporate legs into your body weight core days?
Running doesn't replace leg day because it works a completely different set of muscle fibers.(unless you do sprinting)
That would def be an issue to keep size on your legs.
@@Ema-fm5zy That's not what he asked though. As any runner knows, doing something like squats the day before destroys a run. You need fresh legs to run. And yes running hits your legs massively esp calves.
I couldn't even do on the spot running after I tried the leg day in tiff X Dan 6 weeks plan
@@RavusNox-z5i hello i need help i follow push pull legs and i run daily in the morning and weight train in the evening can you help me what can i do in the running schedule
First question is what are you goals with your weight training. Are you lifting weights to gain muscle or to gain strength. Building muscle requires generally speaking a caloric surplus and protein. You need to work out what you burn on your runs and put those calories back in before the end of the day. I suggest running in the morning and weight training in the evening. As long as your eating a caloric surplus and the necessary protein you should be able to build muscle regardless of your running, in your upper body at least. The issue is building leg size while you run. Your legs need time to recover in order to grow. 1-3 days of rest depending on how hard you worked then in the gym. Moderate cardio shouldn’t harm your growth but intense cardio for long periods of time doesn’t allow the muscles to repair and grow effectively. Here’s what I suggest when you train legs don’t train them too heavy but hard enough to stimulate growth, then take the next day to perform a easy light run of no longer than 45 mins. This shouldn’t harm your leg development and some study’s suggest it could actually help. The following day you should be able to run at high intensity again. Take as many rest days as you need and adjust the intensity of your workouts as you need. Make sure the legs are getting enough time to recover and that you are putting the calories you burn back into your body. You may feel more fatigued on workouts when training twice a day. This is were diet and supplements can help. Everyone’s body is different there is no exact blue print try things out and see what works best for you. It’s clear that this man has found what works for him. With trial and error make your own program that fits around you and meets your specific needs and goals

Ain't nothing easy about a 7 mile run lol
When you train for a sub 3 marathon it is easy. The funny thing, I'm a beginning runner and the speed of my 100m intervals is slower than some people run their marathon
@@tubandt84 yeah, ok buddy
@@tubandt84 yeah makes sense. It's relative to different people. For me, someone who doesn't run, 1 mile is a challenge (probably more mental than physical). But if someone runs often, especially as often as nick, I get how 7 miles is easy lol.
He means “easy” by slower than a regular run
Agreed. Always run first. Get the blood moving, get fully warmed up, then get that pump. I've seen good effect running one mile fast, then lifting, then running a mile, then lifting, rise repeat as many times as I can, sequencing heavy lifts to light. Works for me, and that's the key. What works for you. It's encouraging seeing someone getting some bulk also putting focus into running, because so many sell the idea that you have to choose. Plus, I will tell you this: When you run five miles plus a day, EVERY day is leg day.
Brown rice and hard boiled eggs baby, thats my favorite post run breakfast but many people like to counter it. Just wanted to throw it down for anyone who would like to try it out!
a video showing differences in speed(mile, 5k, half marathon times) and strength numbers (like deadlift, squat, bench etc.) now vs speed and strength numbers when you were more heavily focused on lifting than running would be interesting!
Do you still Squat / Deadlift or do any lower body exercises when also training for running?
he has a coach so I assume yes. It helps your performance as you gain (or at least maintain for him) a certain strength in your legs. So long story short, if you run at 5% of your max rep and your max rep is higher, your 5% will be faster but not harder.
@@Tomy-im8zl His schedule says nothing about legs in the vid, so no he's not doing anything for them I'm assuming
I think he strengthened his legs enough in the past and focusses now on running
Yes. Several studies have shown squatting improves running economy for endurance runners. However, the accumulation of fatigue will be very high with lots of squats. A track athlete would probably squat just 1 x per week especially as they might have several days of double running training.
it can only help depending on the day in your schedule. if you don't need to worry about tempo that day or the following id squat. i do both regardless if its a run or lift day. even if its just body weight.
been watching your videos for a little while over quarantine. such good content here mate, really helping me on my workouts for basketball etc just with how productive and motivational you are dude. keep being you, keep up the content, and strength to you x

Hell yeah
Mate....this guy like to show off...thats all.I wonder if he can run 2hr 50min marathon??I use to run that back to back on on a ultra marathon.
People really don’t understand how possible this is. As a 130 lb 18 year old girl I run a 5:09 mile and deadlift 300 and I truly believe that my abilities in strength and endurance and help each other
"BW" = Calisthenics.
The training regimen seems logical. Run first, weights second. Simultaneously do both on same day, Each day different set of muscles, Have a day off for one or the other and have them spread apart.
I'm suprised tho there's no running form emphasis. That will drastically effect a weight lifters running performance
Be aware of your body. Prioritize your goals. Thanks Nick!

How are you holding so much muscle with all of that running? Also how is your body not breaking down from more activity than a pro athlete? Genuinely curious because your program intensity is incredible.
Daniel W that magical local steer meat he mentions
Expensive and questionable supplements. Got nothing against it tho.
he's said in his videos that he's eating enough to maintain his size. Given the amount he's running, he's probably eating over 3k calories to maintain.

@@MlSTERSANDMANhater
being aware of your body and how youre recovering is key. I always hear about people creating these strict regiments that they have to follow. I most only plan time windows and plan based on my goals. Ex: for back day I dont awlays have to do deadlifts. Maybe give your legs a break and do back extensions and or barbell rows because you already had a legday the day before, and theyre still recovering. Minor Adjustments. Great video
What’s the diet look like, because it helps us understand what’s fueling your physique and training sessions!!??
Actually, it's not *that* important to know. Diets are all similar. Try to focus on what YOU like to eat.
There are simple thumb rules for a healthy diet that everyone can adjust to:
25-30% Protein
max. 30% Fat (mainly vegetable fats/more unsaturated)
45-50% Carbs
Fats are needed for digesting vitamins, health of our cells and producing hormons etc., so don't let the word "fat" discourage you...
And btw., the legendary Internet Fitness Pro Meal *rice + chicken* is not a must. If you try to puzzle stuff together that you like, it's far more enjoyable...

Thanks for your service. I am weight training with barbell: squat, bench, press, deadlifts and pull ups using starting strength method. Currently 71 and thanks to you will add jogging to my schedule ; 2x per week plus 3x weight training. This will make my weight training more difficult resulting in less progress, as well as jogging. Do you experience this with doing both?
New to the channel...thanks for this Nick, so glad to see someone like you promoting both running and weightlifting.
There are way too many meatheads who keep calling running detrimental and worthless compared to lifting. There are even people who I genuinely respect like Jeff Cavaliere who kind of dis on running as cardio. Aside from training specifically for running races, it seems a lot of these others miss another very basic thing that some of us run for: *FUN*
Added bonus: running is more beneficial in a zombie apocalypse. According to movies and the internet most zombies are strong af but they can't run worth shit (except for those damn world war Z ones)
No gyms are open here. So I bought some resistance bands. Changed my life. They work so well
I loaded a couple of backpacks with bricks and I get a great workout when combined with battle ropes, dumbells, weighted vest and bodyweight exercises. I do not think I will be going back to the gym when the quarantine is over.
Ken Jay same here. I have definitely expanded my horizons on the weight lifting
Dude you’re workout looked insane!!! Super setting everything after running 7 miles same day how long have you been training to get to this point?
I've been waiting for a video like this for a long time. Thank you...
Thanks nick, is this kind of training causing un-uniformity between upper and lower body ?
So glad this video is now out!!
"Easy run" - holding a 7:20 pace lolol
Jacky Lu he can run 4:53 so that’s about right. My pr is 5:15 and my easy is around 7:45
@x GeneraI 7 45 for easy pace is actually good for 7-10 miles, even for season runners, depends on your weight also and if u live in an area with alot of humidity during summer months.
exactly, like how in tf is that an easy run. I would say 4 miles would be sufficient to be deemed easy and probably around a 8-9 min pace per mile. @ pace per mile for an "easy" run is pretty crazy. for a ver conditioned athlete yes, but for like 85% of people def not.
@@beerus0014 7:45 min a mile for 7-8 miles is extremely hard its even hard to hold 9 mins for that many miles
Got it, so run and workout . Can do both . Listen to your body , make sure you recover .
