HOW TO AVOID BURNOUT | Marathon Prep, E6 

I like that you took a poll then made a video. Brother, we need this real talk more in every video. Don't for how you spoke as a Lt. I remember meeting you while you were in your a solid dude man. Still riding the green for a few more months and I too will be free. Be steady brother.

Hey Nick ...please do give your playlist you use during workout ...or just mention the songs you use in your videos

Thank you so much for what you are doing, Nick! Because of you I signed up for my first marathon this September!!! I can't wait!

What race are you training for? See you at Boston?

But you didn't just walk on Tuesday. You stood around too.

I agree. Showing up and giving it your all is still discipline even if you miss times or need to adapt the workout.

100%! For most people Showing up and getting it done is definitely enough. Once you get a bit more competitive then sure what he said makes sense. But for most, discipline is getting out of bed and getting it done.

I think what he meant is just be consistent. That's the hardest about anything related to fitness.

that's big good job

And how it felt!? Made my pr on 10k few days ago. From 55 to 52, i was flying!

@@Mateuszyk It felt like the hard work paid off once I crossed the finish line. No better feeling than working hard for a goal and achieving it! But congrats on your PR!

Did you ever get a running coach? I want to work up to something like a half marathon but right now I’m only running a 13min 1.5 mile for the police academy 😂 Any tips???

@@kyliearcher5137 If you have a Garmin watch you can use the free Garmin coach function and then choose half marathon prep program - It will give you some structure to your running workouts 🙂

Goodluck!!!

How did it go?

It went really well! I did a 4:52 marathon, which was a lot faster than I thought I would go. But it’s addicting, I’m already planning to run another race in July!!!

Bro is stimulated alright 💉

I absolutely agree with you, he’s said in podcasts and other videos in the past where its more important to be “consistently good rather than occasionally great” and I really resonated with that. For some people, waking up early in the morning and doing their workout when they absolutely didn’t want to is their version of “good”. Hitting their metrics and doing everything properly in their workout is “great”. For him to say that just showing up is the bare minimum is kind of contradicting that whole statement he’s been saying in the past. I think that doing the workout when you didn’t want to is much better than not doing it at all, and that people should be proud of themselves when they had 0 motivation to do it. And I disagree with him saying that’s not discipline, because that absolutely is. Maybe in the future that’ll be their bare minimum, but for someone just starting that is a step in the right direction.

Yup. That left a bad taste in my mouth. No one nails their workouts 100% of the time. If they do, the workouts aren't hard enough ;)

Yeh exactly, you doing 0-10 effort will build to 10-20 after a week and then 20-30 and then it’s a couple months later and you’re consistently doing 50 versus trying to go 100% for a few days failing and then the cycle of starting again. Consistency I think is always more effective then going 100 all the time

Grow up child

How much time between your run and your gym time?

Lol. That’s pretty light dude.
