I run 6 days I week about 20 miles a week is all. (Monday-Saturday). I lift 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) total body and Tuesdays and Thursdays I do body weigh HIIT training and occasionally do HIIT on Saturdays too. I’ve seen continual improvements my lifts and run times. Just be consistent and don’t overthink think it. Also eat good but don’t overthink dieting either.
Your current physique and overall fitness is really well balanced. I remember thinking that bodybuilding was the be all and end all. More muscle the better right? but the older I get the more I appreciate a balanced physique. I myself have been enjoying running diffferently from before. Not discounting strongman or bodybuilders. It's just my preference. I'm still blown away by The Mountain and Phil Heath btw.
Bodybuilding has an entirely different purpose from sports/athletics. It's about cosmetic enhancement of the body. It's not about health/performance, it's the same phenomenon that causes people to undergo plastic surgeries. For average men the preference for bodybuilding comes from the notion that building bigger muscle makes them more attractive to the opposite sex, that's 99% of their motivation.If technology would allow to build muscle without going to the gym in the future, most bodybuilders would certainly use it without hesitation.
@@olegnovitski6987 Too true. It doesn't help that the majority of the population that doesn't engage in general fitness correlates bodybuilding aesthetics directly to fitness ability.
@@ryanluttman1519 I don't know the reason behind your knees but I can tell you that getting two lacrosse balls and deeply rolling them on my calves/hamstrings/glutes/quads/shins and feet have really helped my knees reduce injury because they were pulling my legs out of form due to tightness. Stretching did shit all until I really got into deep tissue work. Also really dialling in my running technique. I run in vivobarefoots so there is barely any cushioning thus my running has to really be on technique.
Will Solis Thank you for your suggestion and will try this, hopefully it should help as my issues relates to Patellofemoral pain syndrome (inflammation) because of being within a performing arts career.
mathieuj (I haven’t done it just yet haha, but appreciate it man!) but yeah that’s the goal - there’s also a brutal twist to it, which I’ll be announcing around August as part of my charity campaign for Movember this year!
Nick you are my motivation, i am a 24 year old woman who weight lifts and is running for a marathon, a lot of people told me to choose 1 thing to be good at, but you showed me that its possible to do both!
I used your G.1.M yesterday on 50 miles bike ride. I love it, didn't feel the bloating like I'm used to eat all gel, protein bars and water. Wow, a different between myself using the product versus my ride partner struggling with all his ride products. All I had was G.1.M. drink 30 minutes prior to the ride, on the ride 2 bottles with G.1.M , 2 water bottles and 2 chocolate cereal protein bars. I still had some energy in reserve. I wish that I had this product back February for my 50 miler Trail Race.. Excellent job in investing outstanding research and development on your supplements.
I started running a month ago, doing 1 mile every morning and weights in the evening. Now I have built up to 3 miles and it really wakes me up and gets me ready for the day. Glad I found this channel bro!
NICK is the MAN! He has inspired me to start up my exercise demo RUclips channel. Keep up the good work brother and inspiring people to do the unthinkable 💪🏻
Please write up a program for weight lifting and running! I’d totally buy it. I’ve bought all your Embrace the suck programs but this type of training would totally be beneficial and I think a ton of people would buy it! One of the best educated RUclipsrs out there! Hands down!
I never leave comments on videos but this video is incredible! Thank you for making complicated subjects easy to understand that motivate people to improve over time.
Hey Nick. Just want to say i bought your audible of 25 Hours a Day and its been amazing to listen to whilst I’m running. Very inspiring 👊🏻 From an Irish guy living in Liverpool UK 🇮🇪🇬🇧
Love this! After having left the British ROYAL MARINES and played around with some Strongman, OCR training, sprinting and Bobsled, I'm buzzing to get into some Hybrid work from next week!
Thanks man, mixing weight training and long runs is something I want to do to improve overall fitness and I find your videos really helpful and at the same time relatable. Good content
Bare’s content is freakin awesome! Thank you for inspiring me to lose weight and giving me the tools to be successful. I’ve been able to lose 16 lbs in the last 8 weeks. I’m finally starting to see my abs and I’m starting to incorporate more running into my workouts! I just started vlogging my journey on my channel. Thanks for all the great content man 🙏🏽
You're not balancing anything, you just gave voice to the right thing to be healthy while doing sports. EVERY pro track & field athlete uses a lot of time in weekly schedule to weight lifting because it's the right way to do it. People usually think that they just run, and it's totally wrong. Good job from you spreading this REAL HEALTHY way to run
We are on the same plan. Leg days are always followed by sprints at the track. 8 rounds -50 double unders into 400 meter sprint. Rest 1:30 between sets
I am a wildland firefighter in the Great Basin. Everything about wildland is being an endurance athlete. Packing 35-50 or more pounds on your back to the most remote places in the world that grew humans have ever seen, with no trail, and the starting to run a chainsaw or start digging handline. It’s been hard to balance the endurance side with the strength side for me for a long time. Thanks for the videos nick!
Man, I have only recently started following you Nick Bare. I started following you man bc I am 214 lbs and huge into running! I love it and my numbers were around your numbers. My half marathon time was 1 hour 32 mins. I am also Infantry as well. But I am interested in doing a half Ironman! Your motivation has inspired me to just have a harder physical goal! Keep doing what you do man! Great videos!
Love the video, I wouldn't roll out your ITB more likely to make it worse, target the TFL and gluteus with a tennis ball and work on glute activation 😍
Damn..I'm shipping to bootcamp in the Marine Corps this august and I needed this. I have a passion for bodybuilding but need to work on running and body weight exercises. I LOVE YOU NICK!!
Nick, I agree. We need to give our body optimal nutrition to get the best out of us. I hope we can make it to BOSTON 🏃 next year. We are close. Let’s GRIND 👊🏽
He is well organized athlete...he is able to control both his running sessions and weight training. The average gym guy usually just lifts weights and runs home/ work. His physique is well defined and the dude's jacked...nice work
Thanks for the info, man! I'm in my losing weight journey and muscle gain at the same time. I started 2 months ago, 230lb now I'm at 199lb. I'm 5'8" and ran for the first time in my life 9 miles. It took 1:30 hours😅 but I made it. Thanks for the motivation!
A lot of people think running kills gains. But it actually helps too. I was the biggest guy on my high school cross country team. Everyone thought it was genetics and shit, but it took me 3 years to get efficient at running and staying big and ripped.
You’re perfectly balanced overall fitness is a goal of mine to achieve. Very impressive watching you come so far in endurance. It’s gonna be a slow grind but I’ve ran a 50k and a marathon 2 times but now I wanna compete in a powerlifting meet so let’s see what happens.
Bro, great work, do you mind sharing your cycle routine and how to control intake effectively avoid hurting our bodies? I ve seen many friends on the wrong cycle causing acne and swollen faced and joints, it seems you did great job with balancing your cycle and adjusting on different stages for the continuing growth
Thanks Nick - I'd be interested if you have the time to see a video about how you trained for the cycling component of your iron man. You may have already made a film on this, but i'm looking to cut weight and improve power and lactate threshold. Keep up the good work mate, loving your videos.
It's smart to find the right spots to achieved both nice body building and good, efficient running. I ususally start pre workout routine with upper body, back, abs, chest, arms, shoulders, telling the brian Im not reducing these parts, after run. Because fast running will trim unused parts of the body if you told your brain that you wanted to.
Your videos are really far reaching, I'm actually also trying to balance lifting and running training for the Fire and Rescue Service over here in England. Appreciate your insights and motivation, Nick! 👍
IM... IM BOUT TO SAY IT... I DONT CARE IF OTHER People dont appreciate these sweet edits and transitions... I Appreciate these sweet edits and transitions😂👍👍
For me the number 1 thing is recovery. When my recovery is perfect I can push my body to the limit and be back to do the same the next day....just an hour less sleep throws me off. Second is the balance of volume and intensity. I do extreme amounts of volume sometimes but never at a super intense level. I save that for 1 maybe 2 days a week. Never been injured and improve in both
I use a rolling pin for my foot after run. Same way you’re doing with the lacrosse ball. Mine is multi use because I can use the rolling pin for my muscles too
Hey man, wondering if you could make a video about breathing properly during your runs, I’m new to running and would love to hear some advice. Maybe how you control your breathing during runs, what you think about ect. You’re awesome thanks man!
I ran 5k for the first time in my life yesterday. All thanks to your motivation!
Keep it up dude, you got this💪🏼🏃♂️
Well done Nathan! You’ll be blasting them for fun before you know it 👊🏼
Congrats bro! What was your time?

Hell yeah bro good luck in your ultra marathon.

Glad to hear this breakdown. Some fitness "influencers" love to hate on running.
Quit the gym 14 years ago! No special diet No gimmicks!! Just been training in the garage with minimum equipment and maximum WILLPOWER!!!!
Same here. Barstarz turned me onto calisthenics. I exercise more often, and am shredded.

Couple of questions, how long in between do you add another mile and also how often do you train? I imagine that's very tiring at first
Being strong and also having cardio is the ultimate warrior. All that body building strongman bull is for sport
Always watch these videos for motivation before training, Nick is the man, mix between strength and endurance is inspiring
NICK is the MAN! He has inspired me to start up my exercise demo RUclips channel. Keep up the good work brother and inspiring people to do the unthinkable 💪🏻

Thanks so much for his Nick. I'm about to enlist in the Australian Army as an Officer and this is absolute Gold!
This man even has a stand up desk to make sure he never sits down
I bet this guy doesn't even fucking sleep he just cycles his cardio to recover biking one day swimming the next day and then running
I'm not sure if Nick knows it or not , but your a huge inspiration for me and alot of other aspiring special forces operators.
Nick “Grass Finished” Bare
My man Nick Bare here is doing a better job than my kinesiology teacher.

I really appreciate the recovery tips, especially the cold lacrosse ball tip! :) Keep on pushing!

7 Mile "Easy Run" LOL !! but on a serious note thanks for the tips Quarantine has me running a lot more these days since I have a limited home gym
I love the balance of the both and when applied correctly they can help either side you want to improve on.

Impressive! Brother Nick. Hats off!!. The story of Fed ex guy and fed ex lorry is really cool.
