MINDSET WITHIN A TRACK SESSIONS. WHAT YOU SHOULD BE THINKING
Thanks for sharing! I'm boring, never smoked or taken drugs in my 60+ years. Also I don't run normally unless there has at least been 3 hours past after eating.
I have an energy drink every day. Doesn’t sound that bad but I’d like to stop. Really appreciate your honesty about your bad habits - we all have them!
Nick, great vid! Can u pls pin this comment? I've started a running channel and would love for people to check it out. Right now it's limited to shorts, but i'm going to make long form content soon.
Just curious what is your height and weight
You are an insipiring athlete but your food specially packaged, please take them in moderation.
Top man Nick. Always watch your UA-cam videos. Your very open about your lifestyle and training. Loved the insight into what you eat in a day. Fantastic. 💪😊
Great podcast!! Thanks for sharing
I have a 5k race with my 17 year old nephew... in mid August... so far 21:00 for 5k... but my best at 18 was 4:20 a mile... but didn't practise for running... just played football... aiming to lose 6 kgs in next two months... so let's c... running approx 30 miles a week these days...
LOVE UR VIDEOS?!
Long life milk? Is that your secret to sub 15 5K? 🤔🤷🏻♂️😂
Sometimes I have whole milk. It depends if the kids have finished it or not 😂
1 Timothy 4:8 KJV For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. Titus 2:11-13 KJV For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ
I binge eat and it sucks. I also crave sweets after hard workouts or training sessions. It’s so tough to break.
What HR should you target for a race?
Eating definitely is my bad habit. Almost every day eating a snickers or Icecream. Taking my training and eating (for the rest of) very serious. I know I should replace those daily chocolate snacks with healthy alternatives.
Always tough to break out of it, if that’s what your body is used to. But once you do and it’s out of your routine/mind, it becomes easier
I have vaped since I was 18 for 2 years (now 20) and it was a bad habit. Decided to stop fully at end of April after I done a marathon and haven’t vaped since and already have seen the improvements. I knew eventually it would hinder my running so decided to stop. the benefits of not vaping has made my runner so much better
It sounds a bit weird, but i find it reassuring that you used to smoke! As in, it's reassuring that even the 'best of us' can struggle with vices. I think particularly in running where self discipline and health are such celebrated things, it is nice to know that not everyone is perfect all the time. I occasionally sack off a run and eat a share bag of chocolates 🤣 it feels slightly shameful admitting that but hey we're all human 😂😂
I smoked cigarettes from 1989 to 2014. I haven't had a cigarette since. Ten years of no smoking feels good. I have been running consistently for the past two years. I had previously quit at least two times and started smoking again within a year or two. I feel running makes it easier to not smoke. You and your awesome videos motivate and encourage my love of running. Thank you for sharing.
Nick, I don't usually leave comments on any UA-cam videos, but I've been following you're videos for a while now and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. Honestly, you inspire me to reach the potential in running that I know I can achieve and I think I speak for many others as well.
Thansk for sharing. Keeps me fuelled. Let’s go reach our potential!
Hey Nick, thanks for the content and for sharing another part of your story. I was expecting way more carbs, especially on a double day. Do you go by feel or you follow some indications? Thanks
I got in bagels, quite a bit of oats, wraps and chips. So quite a few carbs on there and had pasta the night before too, as I knew a harder day was coming up 🙌🏻
@@justalilbester Ok yeah I was not counting correctly 😅. Thanks for your feedback
Awesome flip love the Adidas running shorts fit but hates the fact that they don't have a small zipper pocket at the back where I can keep my keys. Will definitely get a pair of these
Bro that sainsburys blackcurrant and cherry sparkling water is my favourite 😍😂 Loved the honesty, I’m a stoner and training for a 50k. I don’t really drink so I like to smoke and chill at the end of the day after the gym or a run. It’s hard to stop when it gets so routine but hearing your story shows me it’s possible, respect brother 🫡
Epic podcast!
In America it’s very hard to find bread, peanut butter or honey that isn’t loaded with dyes, cane sugar or seed oils. 😢
Thanks for sharing Nick. I eat too much chocolate 🙈
Beer for me nick i could run 6 minuites a mile a year or so i work all week so i like a beer at the weekend but the times are not as good 😊
Non alcoholic is the way to go. That way you can still perform relatively well 👌🏻
Interesting vid but did find it was one big advert for one thing or another
Ah sorry you felt that way. In fact I had a lot more discount codes which I didn’t share in this video as I didn’t want it to seem like it was very ad style.
@@justalilbesterhey dude it’s cool it’s nice that you commented
Soh Rui Yong came in third 🎉 He was wearing the green under armour singlet.
No redbull 😂😂
Great video Nick. Refreshingly honest & open. Loved it.
I appreciate that!
Really enjoy seeing your balanced approach. The all-or-nothing method tends to make me miserable and fall off. If were happy, we perform best!
That’s it’s. At the end of the day we’re not professionals athletes, so we need to enjoy it to the max.
How much calories do you consume per day?
I’ve never counted. But you can add them up here in the video. Perhaps 3,000 or so.
Nice one, Nick! Class video. I think a lot of runners take for granted how important nutrition is to training. Would be nice if runners spoke about this more!
For me evening tea and biscuit binges was my addiction. Made a big impact in running and training by reducing this bad habit. I noticed the difference within one week.
The trick is to try stop at 1 biscuit.
Hallo can you do a video on how to get back into running after a long time away? i wrote axams and was out for about 2 months i i would appreciate some help😂
Ooof falling out of routine is always tricky. Follow those that inspire you, enter a race and that’ll help with motivation and finding that consistency you need 💥
hi nick, was wondering if honey is really good for runs. i am thinking of buying honey strips. And as Declan Rice explained that honey pancakes gives him more energy for his games too.
It’s healthier fast burning sugar than plan sugar I suppose. So pre session all good 💪🏻🔥
@@justalilbester Thanks Nick! Will take honey now on and would just buy bottle of honey like your video shows and squeeze it onto my pre-session meal ;)
I eat lots of rubbish when tired, sometimes when not tired too. It's never too late to stop smoking. The lungs heal.
I stopped smoking the day we went into lockdown for the first time and ironically took up running that day too... Never looked back. I somehow have not touched a cigarette since that day! I need to sort my eating habit. I love bread 😅😅 Great video Mr B!
Huge congrats on kicking the habit. Bet you feel all that better for it. Onwards and upwards!
Amazing ! Thanks for this video - i take similar supplements to you, but I add beetroot tablets before bed. You should also consider a magnesium spray before bed :)
I have smoked on and off since I was 18, I have always felt like it would hold me back in my running. But hearing this is so motivating, as It’s more encouragement to stop. Thank you for sharing.
Never too late to fully stop. A lot of runners have addictive personalities. But let’s get stuck into this good addictions 💪🏻 onwards and upwards! 😊
Ahh that was brilliant !! Defo need that SIS hydration . Wine is my vice ❤❤❤❤
Mine too Alison, though I have cut down a little recently, in my quest for getting fitter and faster
Too much caffeine mate. Abstain from caffeine and save it for race day for the BIG gains. You'll never know until you try it
I agree. 4 cups a day (3 x normal and 1 x decaf) is slightly more than I’d like
Great video, Nick! You are a massive running inspiration for me. Also, huge respect for sharing the info with us. Stay safe and best of luck with your running
Thanks champ feel good for sharing it. 🙌🏻 always been an open book. Together we grow
From a smoker to a 2:20 marathoner, you hit the genetics jackpot Nick... I never drank, never smoked and maxed out at a 3:36 marathon at 27.
Thanks mate. Never too late to kick old habits. Lungs of steal 🤣 jokes aside. Hopefully it won’t come back to bite one day.
@@justalilbester you redeemed yourself already :-)
Nice intro Nick, very classy 😊
Hey Nick, I have the exact same peanut butter on bagel snack as you EXCEPT try it with sliced banana and cinnamon instead of honey
Solid fuel ⛽️ right there!! The only food I can’t eat is banana. Can you believe it. But don’t get me wrong. I do love banana bread.
Finally!! Nick without a shirt on!! Yes sirrrrrrr!!!!!!!
🤣 that’s the kind of summer it’s been here so far!! 🇬🇧

Too much pace!! 🔥🔥
Are you running 5 miles or 5 km ?
5kms 👊🏻
@@justalilbester Great, I also run 5 kilometers every day, but my time is nowhere near your time and thanks for the reply.

I haven’t read it but I have it at home. I must get on it.
