Been running 6 years. Started at age 43, because my 11yr old speedy daughter told me I would be a great runner like her 😂 She knew I had never ran or competed. (I wrestled 5yrs, competed in bodybuilding for 20yrs). Here we are in 2023 & my daughter is an 18yr old Sr in HS. She has 7 State Road Racing Records & currently 6 HS Track/XC State medals to her name. She got a full ride scholarship to a D2 College & will head to college in 6 months. Me......well I’ve competed in over 150 races (2 mile, 4 mile, 5K, 10K, 12K, 15K & Half Marathons) over 100 of those races have been with my daughter. Next month my daughter & I return to Rock n’ Roll Vegas for our 4th time to compete together one last time before her final year of HS Track Season & then off to College. She will be going for first female in the 10K. After Vegas, in April I will compete in my 5th Half Marathon where I WILL set a new PR of 1:25 or faster. Currently logging 55mpw on average w/ 1-2 speed workouts per week. Tomorrow is my LR where I’ll log 15 miles (progression run). So what’s my point of all this? When I told everyone in the gym that I was no longer competing in bodybuilding because I was going to take up running with my daughter, they turned on me. They laughed at me & stopped talking to me. Every once in awhile I see them around town. Most of them follow me on Instagram (they still do) & they have since changed their outlook on running. Since C-19, those that were on “gear” are no longer with us or have extremely poor health. I returned to the gym in 2021 & they are now gone. I strength train 3x per week & run 5-6 days per week. I’m almost 50 & I’ve never felt so good. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, I eat very clean & since my diet has been very clean since late 2018 I have zero inflammation. If I can get another 20-25yrs of running out of this body I’ll be ecstatic. When my daughter is in her late 20s/early 30s we will Qualify & run Boston Marathon together & bring back the “Good ole days”. If you’re thinking of quitting, don’t do it. Think about why you started in the first place. Remember that passion you had? Remember all those new friends you made? Remember taking trips to Races & the excitement you felt? It’ll be hard to find that anywhere else. Runners can be the most helpful & passionate people you may meet in your life. Most of them have good hearts with big intentions of doing well in life & lifting others up to their level along the way. I never had that in any gym I attended. My running friends are “Family”. They always will be. Nate, this is one of the best running channels on YT & I’ve been a subscriber when you had 100 subscribers several years ago. My daughter & I have watched all your videos & they have REALLY helped us become elite runners by incorporating your LR advice (rolling hills, one weekend fast, one weekend slow, progression LRs). I love this running community & I honestly wouldn’t be alive today, had I not got my health in check & turned to running. The days of me on “gear”, heavy drinking, high protein diet & toxic gym culture is far beyond me now. My goal now, is to give back & help others the way my daughter helped me & believed in me. So the next time you think of quitting, go back to the beginning & dream bigger! Ignore the dream killers, because your support system is all around you. 💯💪🏼✅
Appreciate your comment Patrick and wishing you and your family continued success. Your comment is why I do what I do. Athletes as disciplined and focused as you both are only going to continued to succeed. Congrats to your daughter getting the full ride scholarship and her immense achievements. Folks who read visit, listen to this man's message here. Do not let up on what you want, it is NOT going to be easy but well worth it. Keep up the superior work Patrick and us posted on you (and your daughter's progress).
Hi Coach. Your video today reminded me of two things. First, a lady I met in my local Illinois running group at our post-run BBQ this autumn. Bonnie is her name, about 5’4” 120 pounds wet, I thought she was maybe 65 or 70. She told us she is 82! She’s been running since she was a teenager, and she’s run 59 marathons! She plans to run (I think she run walks a bit nowadays) her 60th full marathon this summer up in Minnesota. Can you imagine! It’s just like you say, it’s how badly you want success. The second thing to mention is famous Coach Jack Daniels, who you mention often and like. I heard a podcast from 2021 interviewing him, he is in his 80s now, and he was asked if he still runs. He said he does run 5-6 days a week but only a 2 miles loop that is measured from his house (I think he lives in the Pacific Northwest). He likes to stay safe and close to home but he enjoys it very much, he said. Just like you are teaching us, Coach Nathan. These are the real winners, aren’t they. Winning life. 🏅 Thanks for your videos.
I have been doing different sorts of sport since I was 8 years old, but never was into running. When I was 30 years old I decided to try and run a half marathon sub 1.30 and finished in 1.28 without any training schedule. Now I just turned 40 and decided for the first time to actually start training for running my first ever marathon in Amsterdam in October. In March I'll compete in a 10k and in May in a half marathon as part of my preparation. Currently I'm following the Garmin half marathon training plan to prepare for the race in May and so far it's going very well and really enjoy the results I see only 5 weeks in. Depending on the results of those races I'll set my goal for the marathon, but I'm dreaming and visualising a sub 3 hour race. Time will tell, but I'm definitely motivated to work hard and smart to achieve it. Watching your videos really helps guiding me on this journey!
Awesome job having dropped that 1:28 in your debut. I wish I would have started running as young as you did at 8. I started when I was 15. Good luck at Amsterdam, a VERY fast course with GREAT competition. Keep me updated on how things are going. You definitely are capable of a 2:59:59 or faster time. Thanks for your support.
Never quit running! Who doesn’t get motivated seeing an old timer completing a half marathon? Who doesn’t get motivated seeing a runner in their late 70s look like someone who looks 60-65? Who doesn’t love seeing Bernard Lagat run a sub 2:15:00 at the Olympic Trials at age 44? We all gotta remember….this running thing is like investing for retirement….we always play the long game for health, competition, stress relief, everything.
Lagat is a total outlier but definitely proves how powerful the mind and body are when the work is put in. You nailed in...you have to invest your work and focus into this and most importantly, keep the fun and enthusiasm. Remember, it is just running
I started to do sport and also running almost 4 years ago, I'm over 30. I worked hard to break 3 hours marathon 3 months ago and I'm still grinding, blessed to do what I like.. I hope age will not pull down my mentality ✌ Coach, what is your running goal now? Is your grind still on-point about marathons?
Awesome job Baker having broken the sub 3:30 marathon. I wish more people realized just how fast of a time that really is. You are still very young at only age 30. You have MANY years still ahead of you and I know you'll go under 3 hours in due time. I still jog now for fitness but raced for 30 years. My focus now is helping disciplined and motivated athletes such as yourself to surpass what they think are their limits. Keep up the superior work and me posted on your progress.
Great video. I am 50 & I still cant seem to break the 90 min half. I have come up short 4 yrs in a row. People tell me I am too old. Horeshit, I will keep grinding it out until I figure out the why & how. Its funny how the brain tries to mess with me saying "maybe I am not built for the half, maybe switch to the 10K". Nope...aint having it.

Athletes at that age totally amaze me. Appreciate your comment and thanks for sharing with the community. Yes, total winners Burps.
