How To Eat Like A Hybrid Athlete (Running + Lifting) 

Bodybuilder here, since I started watching your videos you’ve inspired me to run 2-3 a week no matter where I am geographically. It’s made me feel so much better cardiovascular wise and the benefits I’ve gained from running are life changing. Thank you!

I ran my first half marathon yesterday!! 3 years ago I weighed over 300 lbs now I'm around 210, I had started running a lot this year and wanted to do a race, I kinda stopped my training but in a weeks notice my friends talked me into this half marathon that had a lot of downhill on a mountain. It was an amazing experience I kept a good steady pace the whole way and finished under 3 hours! I definitely want to keep racing with proper training and conditioning and get even better, I think the adrenaline and the runners high masked the pain that was in my body, and if I hadn't of needed to spend 20 minutes on the toilets I would've been even better. My body is super sore and broken down right now in quite a bit of pain and it's going to take a lot of time to recover but I'm so glad I did it. I will definitely make sure I'm properly conditioned next time as I'm still a bigger dude and it takes a toll on me that way

Nick, you are the man! I’ve watched your videos for a few years now. This is a GREAT video, simplified, so that it is easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time to share what you do with the rest of us. Keep up the great work and best of luck in your training! Steve from Texas

Keep them coming please.. just listened to your running training diet, agree I’m making the shift to higher carb, lower fat and already feel the difference

ive seen a ton of these video and you did this so well explaining macros and showing what you actually go and get, awesome video man!

As someone who considers themselves a beginner hybrid athlete, the way you break down how and what to eat is great. I've been tracking food for a couple of years now and have lost weight, gained muscle and endurance during that time, but I don't think I have reached my potential. At 43 and still in the Army, I really have to pay attention to what I'm doing with food and exercise.

Love it Nick! I would love to hear you break down more information on your mostly organic, whole food diet. Not enough people pay attention to the ingredients and quality of foods going into their bodies. Do you have a podcast episode or could you do one that breaks down the quality of your nutrition and even how your views have changed. (example: grass-fed beef, pasture-raised eggs, etc.) G1M!

Solid advice with precise steps on how to implement

Great video, Nick always provides high quality, streamlined knowledge. Love it! One suggestion, ive never noticed this in another video but the audio was drastically different in volume throughout different segments of the video. Some compression or limiting of the audio is a quick fix

Awesome , Nick thanks for the informative and BLUF video. Appreciate your time making these!

Nick, just wanted to let you know: super inspiring content! love your videos, this one was super informative as well. I have been inspired by you to run every day as well as getting in my strength training. Honestly watching your channel has shifted my idea of what my body could be capable of... been loving the athlete life ever since. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany

I LOVE this series, Nick! 🔥

Embarked on the Ultra Athlete Life some years ago. I am still learning how to eat, it is an continuous learning curve for myself and my Body/Lifestyle. I box, strength trained, run for 2-3 hours, and cycle to work. I am going training to be an Ultra Marathon runner and Ultra Triathlon. Thank You for your information here.

I havent ran in over a year and a half i have only been lifting and doing jiujitsu. My buddy invited me to a 5K this morning. I ran it in 27 min. 17 sec. ( I did not walk once ). Its time to train like a hybrid athlete. Im going to start watching you stuff.

such a valuable video, thank you nick for the transparent and informational content 🤙

excellent content. learned more. I'm trying to follow the hybrid athlete a little bit, when I go up and do a bulk diet bring this wealth of details in this video. thanks. inspiring.

This is great! Thanks for the insightful information.

Nick bare, I’m such a huge fan of all your awesome training & nutrition videos. Truly needed this video, thank you

Thanks Nick! Outstanding advice here

Thank you for posting such useful information. I’ve been running for a year and a half now and I really want to implement more strength exercises in my workouts.

Great and exceptionally important content! Keep up the good work! 🔝

The backdrop is looking 🔥 Nick You’re the man

I needed this! Thank you so much

This guy is total motivation! I love coming here because I’m always learning. I’m getting G1m stuff. I think I need it because I do get sluggish after the workout/sauna

Great video nick ❤❤❤

You are a bloody machine man. Respect 💪🏻

Nick, amazing video! It made me realise I might also have to do a sweattest, since I sweat a LOT during my runs. Also, small tip from me (productionwise); please make sure the audio is leveled throughout the video. There are a lot of peaks and dips and I had to change my volume constantly. Much love!

Awesome video, thanks. Can you think about maybe making a journaling video to help us with keeping track of workouts?

Appreciate the breakdown on Macros vs Calories. A lot of times it's misconstrued appreciate it boss! @NickBare

Hey Nick I’m really new to this I’m still 16 but have been inspired and motivated by you to stop being lazy and go out there and get it. I now want to be an officer in the marine corp

Love the KISS mentality! I hava kind of come to that conclusion on my own after years of lacking consistency and constantly struggling to sustain a long period of performance! At the end of the day, try to get the basics down consistantly before you try to do all the special stuff 80/20 rule again. Well now I have a name for it... KISS!!! Amazing!

A respectful suggestion for your video editors: the volume in your videos is inconsistent, leaving some parts so quiet that I have to blast the volume to hear you, and then other parts are suddenly much louder, and it goes back and forth. (example: watch the segment clip from 2:40-2:55). You can see it again from 9:10-9:30). I love your content. Been following you for years and will continue to. I genuinely care about your channel, I know how much you’re doing to make this community (and people in general) better. Otherwise I wouldn’t even bother writing this.

So far, G1M & electrolytes have definitely been game changers in IM prep!

Legend, your information is 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

The sound in this episode is all over the place Nick, constant up and downs, quality changes... surprised this got published with how good your normal stuff is

Best video!!!!

this video is a perfect timing, i normally run 5 miles 3-4 times a week, However I impulsively signed up for a half marathon 6 weeks away. so im going to be building mileage over the next 4 week.

I was 498 lbs in January. I'm down to 390 now and trying to learn how to run.

Hey Nick Ben Francis just mentioned in his vlog your an inspiration to him wow would love to see Ben on your Podcast go one more…..

Keep the nutrition coming

You motivated me to try my first cycle. On a 16 week cycle and with your hybrid training program I ran and finished my first 50 and 100 mile ultra's and won 4 gold's in 2 Brazilian Jiu jitsu competitions. I also got 900 lb total in a powerlifting comp. Didn't place but it's a PR for me by 220 pounds. Thanks bro

For me, I eat a small breakfast and then consume everything in site for lunch and dinner just to barely reach my calorie requirements which were already higher than average since I lifted weights but now even higher since I’ve started running aswell.

I have just got home from my first official Half-Marathon in Lima, Peru. Tomorrow it’s a Chest-Back day at the gym. All this is because of what Nick preaches: the hybrid athlete. Of course I ran the BPN hat. Thank you for so much Nick and BPN Team, this is the first of many many races.

Been a hot minute since ive seen your videos

Congrats on reaching 1 million subscribers. What watch are you wearing?

"How to eat" might as well just be "here's an ad for all my supplements"

Just curious to know what your macros look like when not prepping for a marathon. I know you said you bring the carbs down and the fat up.

What kind of running shoes do you prefer? I’m struggling to find the right ones for my self. Thanks already 💪🏼

Love you Nick but please, take another look at the audio levels on this one.

Fireeeee

I feel like I just watched a 10 minute commercial for BPN supps

Can you make a video on how to prepare for race day?

👍👍👍👍👍. greetings from CHILE 🇨🇱✨

The podcast and channel became 100% advertising for BPN products 😅

Can you tell us how and when to integrate running and working out legs.

My groceries are very similar to yours. 👍 eating alot of zucchini lately covered in cheese haha. I am always too skinny though.

People hating on the “supplement pushing” but every athlete takes supplements and it’s a lot easier to get extra protein and electrolytes by using supplements rather than purely food. So does it really matter? Hes being transparent and actually spitting facts so idk what y’all’s problem is 😂

The sad part is a lot of ppl will ignore and argue the nutrition advice Nick gave. But it’s true.

Hey Nick, would love to get your (and everyone else’s) take on artificial sweeteners as part of a regular diet. Since not much is known about the long-term effects of artificial sweeteners, is it a good idea to consume multiple servings of them every day? I love your products, but man…g1m sport in the morning, protein powder in the afternoon, and peak sleep on the evening - that’s artificial sweeteners for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There’s also the question of the type of artificial sweeteners used - I think some of your products have monk fruit extract, which is a natural sweetener, but others have acesulfame potassium, which is artificial and more iffy in terms of research. Any thoughts?

Like how many shows about diet can someone have lol

Thanks

That shirt is SICK! Just ordered one and a fresh box of field bars! G1M

Comecei a acompanhar pelo Eslen hehe

Great video as always. If I may say: the music is too loud and sometimes it is hard to understand what you’re saying, especially for not native speaker.

Am doing hybrid athlete 1.0 am on week 3 .. what diet should I stick to ?

The star of this video is… the editor. Holy moly I don’t think there was a single un-edited sentence. Nick… LOVE WHAT YOU’RE doing but bro, get a teleprompter!

Nick, how do I train if I can only do 1 modality per day? Either cardio (run, bike, swim, etc). Or lift. But there are almost no days where both are going to happen?

My pre-roll ad for this video was for Taco Bell. Now I feel conflicted lol

This is a great video but why is no one talking about the cost of living and eating like this? I am a student in college and play a sport at elite level and I really want to get stronger and increase muscle mass but how can I even do that when electrolyte powder costs $60 for a small tub? Nick always suggests eating grass-fed ground beef but that stuff is absurdly expensive, especially for a student. This is unrealistic

Wow I’m surprised you’re still under 1M Subs?!? WTF RU-vid?

does bpn ship to hong kong? love the trucker hats actually

Do you usually run heel touchdwon like at 1:41 or just in the warmup? Anny benefits? Honest question!

What are your thoughts on people saying that oats are full of pesticides and not healthy for you

Please end my misery and drop a video on how to figure out TDEE please

Just tell me your cycle

Do i have only issue with sound in here ? Video seems with some huge problems with audio volume level.

trenbaloney sandwiches for nick bare

Love how you avoid much of the dogma, and focus more on actual nutrition instead of fad diets 👏

Any advice for someone who can't tolerate a high Carb intake?

Brazil 🎉

My REAL diet - 1000mg Tren 500mg Test, sometimes dianabol in my cereal.

Are you adjusting your calories per day based on your workouts? If you do a long run and say burn 1,000 calories during that run, are you adding that to your daily base amount?

Endurance Athletes must anticipate their body needs, before the body needs it. It take time for H2O or CHO to get into the blood stream. When your supply is low and your body needs more, it’s too late to try and catch up. Plan, prepare, & anticipate your nutrition.

How many calories an hour during an ultra is your average?

💪 💯 🔥 ❤️

Please bring back apple pie whey protein powder. I really, really, really, miss having it in my morning oatmeal, pancakes, muffins, and french toast.

Are you on test? Trt? Thats pretty relevant to mention aswell.

I run too just thought everyone should know

Upped my running and was feeling great running 3 miles everyday, most I ran in 2 weeks and then I got runner’s knee :(

Good video but background music/ noise was a little loud .

Is your calorie goal actually 3500? Would make sense but I'm curious.

What watch do you wear?

is there a place online that does sweat tests?

Recommend a "How to recover like a hybrid Athlete"

Nutrition and quality of the food makes a huge difference eat whole real food stay away from processed sugar and seed oils

That's almost my exact grocery list. Lol.

volume is brutal

Colombia ¡¡¡

bro... great video.. but someone please EQ the sound... it's all over the place
