Out of curiosity I have visibly less muscle (trap?) From shoulder to neck On my right side. Any ideas or suggestions on how to strengthen and add muscle mass?
Great job on your training! 💪 It takes a lot of dedication and discipline to stick with a training plan and it's awesome to see it pay off! Don't forget to enjoy the journey!
This video is most probably best F video in entire YT. I have been watching it like million times. While injury, morning coffee, before run and basically while everything. Thank you whole BPN team right now and for future videos. You are the best!
You are the best motivation! I just did my first ever brick session. Thanks to you I started on a journey. I can't wait to see where it takes me. Much love to you, Stefany and the little one.
Huge inspiration, Nick, thank you! I’m training for a big 15k this summer and have decided to run my second marathon in 2023 (Marine Corps Marathon). Thank you for the push!
Great inspiration. Been following you for a couple years now. Running my first marathon next week and gotta say you’ve really helped me out with great info
Right on with the strategic advice. I went from a 4:10 to 3:04, but it took years of incremental patience. I’m running Boston for the first time in 6 weeks but the ego reminder was great to hear today. Unfortunately, I’ve let the ego get in the way of smart and slower long runs this training block. Forcing myself to perform better even when body is not ready. Time to lock it in these last 6 weeks with smart and strategic runs.
I wait all week for this series! Amazing information and entertainment. Thank u Nick and bpn team for putting in the work👏🏼 Currently training for my first half marathon and this info is really useful.
Great video! I'm starting a training plan for my first 50km race...and I've built a lot of it around your principles and your motivational content. Thank you for being awesome!

I’m going to start training for my first Marathon next month. I’m in the Navy on shore duty so I’m making use of the opportunity for a somewhat stable schedule. Thanks for the video!
The confusion for new runner must be insane when one day he is doing “threshold” 1k repeats at sub-6 pace and then he’s doing a “threshold” run of 7 miles of tempo. I guess they both are technically threshold training according to Stephen Seiler, but they are extremely different workouts and should for sure be differentiated
Going in on my first marathon 15th of January. Wish me luck. Ran into knee injury 2 weeks out of the marathon and haven’t been able to train even an hour runs. Going to need every bit of luck and mental strength. LESSGOOO
Any benefit to add cycling into training? I've been doing 3 long runs a week. Cycling 1:20' and 2.5 mile easy runs on lunch everyday Mon:10 miles easy Tuesday:cycle Wednesday: cycle/hill run 5 miles Thursday:cycle recovery Friday:10 mile tempo Saturday:long cycle.
Bro you are making me want to go for a run. I have been injured for almost 13 months now, and I have been without running as well as cycling for close to eight months now. My last run was July 17, and these videos make me excited to go for a run. Thanks for the motivation, hope to be out there soon
180 -54 = 126 is my case. I incorporate a regular strength training into running. However, at the outset my HR always jumps up to 130, 145 and then keep at ave. of 154-156 (ave. 6min/km) during 14km course. I'm feeling comfortable at this pace though, and most of the time I breathe through the nose.
Good pillars but missing the 2 biggest and by far the most important pillars.... consistency and volume. They have a much bigger impact on your marathon performance than anything else
Hey Nick! Loving the Content it’s been motivating me to run my first marathon in providence may1st! My goal is sub 4hrs. If all goes well I’ll be joining you in buffalo!
Hi. At the time of writing this comment, I am 13 years old. I am training for a half marathon that will take place when I am 14 and a full marathin when I am 15. I have been training for God knows how long, and I have been praying that I would be able to finish it. I am hoping a time of 1:35 minute half, and a 2:55 minute full. Loved the video, keep it up😊
Thank you nick for this amazing episode really enjoyed it full of good information and tips and ways in prove you're running I like what you say about ego you can't learn what you already think you know keep up the amazing work I highly appreciate it👍🏼
Is no one else gonna say it? The dude doesn’t look like a runner, more like a body builder. How do you keep that mega build while running in excess of 10 miles a day? That’s impressive, man.
I have been using G1M sport and love it, but 2 scopes before and 2 more during the workout just seems like a TON of sodium. I typically am just taking one scope before for a ~ 7 mile easy run.
According to this 180-42=138bpm. I’ve been running 10k on average 1.1 hours @ 152bpm. This is fast for me and I feel like I’m so freaking slow. Bringing my heart rate to 138 or less it’ll take me a week to finish a 10k. Slowing down 80% of my workouts and 10% of my workouts I push harder and I forget the last 10% but theoretically I’ll get faster
I've got a question. On an easy run if you do go above your maximum aerobic heart rate for say 1 minute on a 60 minute run, does that negate the majority of the aerobic benefit of that run? For example, you hit 154 bpm for a minute.
@@alexaguest Okay right on, I've been operating under the other pretext but logically it makes sense that if the majority of the workout was done in an aerobic range that you would gain aerobic benefits.
Any advise for improving lung function? I had lung cancer a little over a year ago and really want to improve my running and endurance, and I’ve made great progress but still seems that my lungs tire out before my actual body does. Loving this series by the way much knowledge to be absorbed!
Not sure u have done vid on this , but I need help with my running form how u approach feet placement and push off points of your feet , I’m 48 yrs old and u got me running for the first time in almost half a century
Aye shoutout Jeff man I think he’s narrating. That shits fire fire. I’m not supposed to run today but that intro almost made me go hit a little 5 miler 😂 keep making great content !
Nick, super helpful and great video! I use all your morning supplements along with G1&1. These videos are awesome to use as examples and rough outline to train. You are a role model!
Any advice for first time marathon training?? And note I am heavy 250 and been running for 2 years had to stop for a few months because of bone on bone arthritis on right knee. But doing a marathon end of October so my 18 week training will start soon. Thank you. P. S I been Low HR training 3 times a week and one run I do intervals
Obviously you're doing lots of easy miles leading into the race, but on race day, what zone is your heart rate in? Is it more of a tempo/threshold zone for the duration of the race?
Ah, I'd take a guess and say it's going to be at 'goal race pace' (you know, like REAL runners). Although, who knows. He stuffed it up at the 2020 Austin Marathon going out way too hard, doing a positive split and slowing down even after 10 miles. We'll see if this time he can get his pacing right, which you'd think after all these years he'd be able to manage that. Although he'll likely come up with some excuse like he did when he finished the Austin Marathon in 3H 24min .... "it's a tough course, it's very hilly" (Yep, which you would have known well before the event).
I have an Apple Watch (I think series 5) I am starting my marathon training (your plan) next week. ♥️ I’ve been told my Apple Watch won’t have the battery life to last the entire marathon… so that being said I want to do my entire training with the Watch I will use for the race day. What would you say is the best Watch for my marathon training/ race day ?? (Dubai marathon) I know you must get asked this lots so I’m sorry !! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
My issue with easy runs is that my easy runs are horrifically slow and don’t feel beneficial. I’m 260 lbs and haven’t run consistently in close to a decade (was previously in the military). I’ve been lifting for several years so I’m not in terrible shape, my cardio is just really bad. Should I still be doing easy runs if my pace during them is nearly a 15 minute mile? Last night I ran 2 miles in 22 mins and it felt amazing. I’m not sore this morning, I feel great.
The more older and less younger you are the less likely the 180-age method will be accurate. For example, a 65 yo. athlete would have a LT (Max. Aerobic HR) of 115... when most athletic (IM, Marathon Runners, etc.) 65 yo. will have a LT in the 140 plus Max. Aerobic HR. Same if you use a 20 yo. as an example except in that instance the Max. Aerobic HR is too high rather than too low..
As your audience grows I think it’s important to accommodate people using Kilometres instead of miles, kilograms instead of pounds even if it’s on the screen, always off putting to have to pause and calculate to do a re-cap on the actual advice.
I had a recurring calf injury that started about 2 yrs ago and plagued me. I re-injured it several times and I would stop running for about 6 weeks for it to heal and it would happen again. I started running on a treadmill a few months ago which allowed me to control my speed more and integrated calf raises while holding a kettle bell about 4 times a week and it hasn’t happened since. My kettlebell is a 45 pounder and I usually do about 10-12 reps, single leg for about 5-6 sets. I step up on the bottom step of a step ladder and do my raises. This allows me to go further on the bottom of the raise. Take some time off after injuring it, 2-6 weeks. After the pain goes away you can start doing some body weight calf raises to strengthen the calf and start doing some walking and slowly progressing to some light jogging
I only took about 2 weeks off the last time I injured my calf and then I started with some walking on my treadmill at a slow speed and zero incline. I increased the speed and incline weekly by about 10 percent until I got to a slow jog speed. Stretch the calf well before ur exercise and focus on making ur calf’s stronger than they were before u hurt it. There are some RUclips videos on how to test to see if ur calf’s are weaker than they should be.. Hope this helps!
@@flatheadpolitics1895 thanks for taking the time to type all of that out. On a scale of one to 10, the pains maybe a 6, only in certain spots that load the muscle. I can flex my calf both directions pain free surprisingly and walking is painfree. Its only uncomfortable to the touch, or if i put it in the right position that i feel it. I have a fire academy in a few weeks so I guess ill rest as much as I can and do strengthening exercises as long as they dont irritate it further.
@@mattanderson1831 Hopefully you can get it fixed. Your injury sounds similar to mine, the pain was slightly below the calf muscle. I could walk painfree about 2-3 days after injuring it. It would hit me out of nowhere while running and I would have to limp back to my vehicle. Last year I was training for a race and did a 19 mile long run with no issues on a Saturday. I then took Sunday off. I went back out on Monday to do a short run of like 5 miles and hurt my calf in like the first 2 miles.. Bizarre! Strengthening it will definitely help! Good luck friend!
minute 18 to 19 u spoke of fuel your body one hour b4 and during the run, let me say that the nutrients taken does not go into the bloodstream so fast. hence please revisit how the body works and how long the nutrients you consume take to actively go to the bloodstream to make the food effective for optimal performance. i believe you doing it, the wrong way. you are or maybe taking the right nutrients but at he wrong times.
That’s a question that I have. When you should start carb loading for a Saturday long run and what u should consume. He takes a 15 oz container on long runs, I sip out of my bottle every 10 minutes and usually need 30 ozs or more for a 12-14 miler..
Why does the arm swing look a bit inefficient? Any thoughts? I am new to this but it looks like arms are going slightly side to side, thus wasting the energy in stabilizing the hips .

The more older and less younger you are the less likely the 180-age method will be accurate. For example, a 65 yo. athlete would have a LT (Max. Aerobic HR) of 115... when most athletic (IM, Marathon Runners, etc.) 65 yo. will have a LT in the 140 plus Max. Aerobic HR. Same if you use a 20 yo. as an example except in that instance the Max. Aerobic HR is too high rather than too low..
Totally agree. HR can very so much from day to day too based on sleep, stress, hydration, heat. I rarely use HR as an indicator for paces.
Can you guys pump up Nick's volume? The music and everything is louder

Hello. Question: how do you relieve the pain on your knees after a long run?
My max hr is 185 and resting is 46. With 180-age (21) I should run under 159. And 159 bpm for me are hard af runs!!!
Great video. Have you talked about the Treadmill you use? It looks like one that's good for the knees. Where did you get it?

Hey, I’m new to your channel, I have a question… what’s your stretching routine before and after running?

I then took Sunday off. I went back out on Monday to do a short run of like 5 miles and hurt my calf in like the first 2 miles.. Bizarre! Strengthening it will definitely help! Good luck friend!
Another banger Nick! One day hope to meet you ✌️
minute 18 to 19 u spoke of fuel your body one hour b4 and during the run, let me say that the nutrients taken does not go into the bloodstream so fast. hence please revisit how the body works and how long the nutrients you consume take to actively go to the bloodstream to make the food effective for optimal performance. i believe you doing it, the wrong way. you are or maybe taking the right nutrients but at he wrong times.
That’s a question that I have. When you should start carb loading for a Saturday long run and what u should consume. He takes a 15 oz container on long runs, I sip out of my bottle every 10 minutes and usually need 30 ozs or more for a 12-14 miler..
This guy is a beast!
Yeah
i use my watch as my heart rate monitor but i always say +/- 10 bpm. & i say easy is 5-6 effort for me.
when you say two bottles is that 30 total ounces of 4 total scoops of g1m? what is your thought on additional water intake on top of whats in the g1m?
Damn, that 3 minute intro. Next level
is there a way to watch the podcast?
Why does the arm swing look a bit inefficient? Any thoughts? I am new to this but it looks like arms are going slightly side to side, thus wasting the energy in stabilizing the hips .
When we getting that black Go One More Hoodie!?
