Running 100 Miles in 19 hours and 13 minutes | Rocky Racoon 

My big advice after 10+ years of ultra marathons (and Nick did a reasonable job of this here) is contrary to what you may think - YOU (the runner) are there to support your crew way more than they support you. They are constantly living on pins and needles (do we have the right stuff, how is he feeling? etc). You can get wrapped up in what you are doing but remember, YOU chose to be there and they are taking a day out of their life to help you. When you come into those pits you need to be smiling ear to ear baby! All positive. You could be bleeding out of every part of your body but it's all smiles. In fact, you are smiling when you ask them to take you to the hospital. If you need a cry you do that out on the course when you are all alone. When you come through the pits you don't complain, you don't get negative, you don't do any of that. You can tell your crew what you need or want etc. but you do it with a smile and you are loving life. They deserve that!!

Because of you nick bare and your Leadville video, I signed up for my first ultra! I did a 6 hour race today in California, only did 21 miles, but for a big dude @ 275, I didn’t give up! I was the biggest dude out there, I didn’t care, I got goals! It was the furthest and longest I’ve ever been on my feet! Thanks bpn for helping me go one more! #100

I wish you, Courtney, Cam Hanes, and Goggins would all do a big collab ultra together! Can't wait to watch you crush this 100!

Shout out to the camera man he ran that marathon in 19 hours and 12 minutes 💪🏼

I was expecting a more of a doc story, but came as more of a lesson story These are lessons I’ll def. keep in mind going into my first marathons, great stuff!

the fact that Nick carries the huge muscle mass and runs an ultra is incredible.

Last month I couldn't run a mile. Today I ran my first mile in 9min 40sec.. UR MY INSPIRATION DUDEEEE

Shout out to the wife who supports you 💯 in everything you do.. that’s an unbelievable blessing 🙏🏼 You guys were made for each other 💪🏼 Great Vid

"An ultra for me is like this self intervention, and when I started the race, I was thinking about the end of the race. I was thinking about mile 80,99, 100. And it dawned on me, like what the fck I'm doing, why I am thinking hours from now, why I aren't focusing the mile I'm in. And I started to reflecting. Maybe I'm always looking at the next thing, I'm not able to actually enjoy and live and learn from the present. That's what I am taking away from these first 45 mile, it doesn't matter if it is a race if it's a milestone in life in business, with your friends, your family. Be present, enjoy the process because you are going to learn from that process and that experience, and don't always keep looking for the next thing. Be hyper focused where you are right now. " Nick Bare

This is my favorite style of video you do. seeing you out on the race running, hearing your thoughts, struggles, accomplishments. It’s really inspiring!

One thing that ive learned by running is its almost like a spiritual reflection like you learn so much about yourself whats possible for you what you should improve on like its incredible. Keep up the great videos nick!

Great video. I’m 19 & running my first 100 miler in October of this year. Only got two 35 milers under my belt so it was cool to see a 100 from start to finish. Kudos!

I like how you guys put this one together. Very different than the Leadville documentary. The BPN team is a huge inspiration! Thank you guys for all your hard work🙌🏼

This is why I LOVE the Running Community. Everyone (most part) is Super Supportive of each other. I WILL get back to my 7:30 m Half Marathon pace.... and more. Thanks Nick

Amazing how you can be so inspiring and insightful even after 80+ Miles and being so exhausted! I have MS and I'm legally blind, since watching your first ironman training videos I have signed up for my first Olympic distance triathlon thats happening Sept 10th then I also signed up for the Maple valley half ironman following 8 days later on Sept 18th. I will have a pacer, we are tethered during the swim and run portion and we will be riding a tandem bike. Thank you for all your great videos, Greatful to have seen your inspirational videos and the opportunity to go one more! Also congrats to you and Steph on your new addition to the bare family, yall are going to be great parents!! Looking forward to seeing yalls next big adventures

Never fail to inspire. Very cool Nick and team. Great work.

Great videos, man! I'm running an ultramarathon in all 50 states. My next is the Keys 100 in May.

Best one you’ve made so far Nick! Loved the way you out this together.

You are a freaking machine man. You motivate the hell out of me. Supper blessed to be able to watch your videos your awesome thank you

You are a real inspiration. Thanks a lot for putting out these videos, they have helped me a lot in my fitness journey.

Great videos guys and gals... love seeing steph's emotions. Shes theres 100% i just feel like you see joy, excitement, worrisome and love... just awesome how committed you both are... awesome job as always nick and another great video to the team!

Masterful content from the BPN team! Savage effort, Nick. Keep hammering!

Thank you man! You motivated me a lot since i've found your channel! Keep up the good work!

Great lessons, Nick! Yes to doing something that's a challenge, not something you know you can accomplish. At 51 I did my first 100mi on as little training as I could get away with due to having two small children and lots of chronic injuries. That was last year. This year, I did the rim-to-rim-to-rim of the Grand Canyon at 52 on the same chronically under-mileage training plan, but got it done. This spring trying for a good showing in my age group in a couple of half marathons. Still getting it done despite family obligations, work and a lifetime of pushing this old body. It's all about being in this moment and never resting on the laurels of previous accomplishments.

This is far from what I was expecting. It's so inspirational, philosophical and existential. I will come back to it whenever I need a moment. Even that song that plays in the background. This is art. Thank you!

It was a pleasure racing the course with you at Rocky Raccoon Nick!

This is exactly what I felt on my first 100 last year. I did not really know how to put it into words but Nick does such a great job of explaining it in a way that will impact and stay with people. Amazing video!

No shortcuts to greatness and wisdom. Solid race, Nick!

Great video Nick!! Keep them coming!

I could not turn my head away from this video Nick and team. I just felt the calling deep in my bones to challenge myself. Embrace the downs as part of the growth. Thanks for illustrating these lessons which mean so little without example.

Great job Nick and entire BPN team. I have ran a couple miles over the last few weeks after years off and your videos have been a source of reinforcement. When everything hurts and I want to stop, my measly few miles pales in comparison to 100 and I know I have it in me to keep going.

I really enjoy these vlog/documentary style race recap videos! Keep up the great content!

Nick and the BPN team, this is a world class production. I watched it twice. Thank you.

unbelievable that his wife supports him so much it‘s just a pleasure to watch this i always have a smile on my face

Thanks for documenting and uploading this Nick. You've made me sign up for my first Ultra Trail Marathon (100 Miles) and I will also be documenting my journey along the way! 😁💪

this was a really beautifully done video and framework... the best I've seen from Nick and his videos.. awesome and inspiring stuff...

Absolute gold. You summed up exactly why I chase endurance event too. It's in that space between success and failure where the magic happens. It enhances everything else in life

Great video once again Nick. Love the footage and commentary

Really love this video and your leadville doc as well! Great production and editing + an extremely inspiring story

That was an amazing documentary of you tackling this race ... all you put into it... and those who care about you were right there.

looking forward to my first Ultra this October….always looking to you and your videos for inspiration. Thank you!

Inspiring. Nick, seeing your perseverance on display is truly inspiring and motivating. This documentary is griping. The BPN production crew truly tells your story in a captivating way!

Growth - the mentality of continuously choosing things that challenge you! You are a beast Nick!!!

GO ONE MORE! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful message! You are such an inspiration!!!

Inspirational Nick! What a video! Thank you for sharing and a HUGE congratulations to you on your mammoth achievement 💪🏼

you are my main inspiration to go into running and triathlons, keep up the good work.

I have so much respect for you Nick. You inspire me to keep running and improving myself

youre a beast dude, you've come a long way! congrats and keep it up! thanks for all the hardwork and especially thanks for the best supps on the market.

This was on another level physically and a whole different level content wise! Thanks Nick for bringing us along the journey as you ventured through each mile of this race. This inspires and drives me to run this one day 🙌🏼 or to challenge myself physically that very few will do themselves.

I'm so proud of you and the team, and I am so grateful for your content and community. You guys - even the people reading this - are an encouragement to me. Thank you. :)

Nick you carry a chip on my shoulder that pushes me further. I’ve dedicated myself to a 80km ultra in Quebec. I’m scared, worried but in control and super positive about it. Planning and prepping the best I can. Working the hardest and pushing one more everyday. Thank you for being my inspiration.

Another great video. You certainly have a good team behind you Nick. Keep crushing it. I was a track runner and am now running Ultras. Recently I have started lifting as well. This hybrid training has been inspired by your exploits. All the best.

Good work and big up for videographers! Awesome storytelling.

Another great video. I ran the 50k the following weekend, those trails are not easy. When every step is on a root or a rock and every step hurts, you really have to dig deep. That strength can be used in every day life.

The world needs more of this people are awesome! Love your honesty and integrity- people like you make us all strive for more 👍 thank you guys 😜

What a masterpiece this video is. Truly inspirational Nick!

I really enjoyed this video, especially the insights/section about growth!! :)

Great job man, very inspiring, thanks for sharing

Nothin but love for Nick and the BPN family

This man is an inspiration.

Get it brother! I really enjoy your video content. You are an inspiration, an encouragement and just a surge of productive energy. Your content really fuels me to keep pushing. God bless you and ur movement💪💪💪💪

Best flashback I've ever seen. Steph's sad look for not having what Nick needs is hilarious :D

AWESOME VIDEO! Two key points... 1.) Are you HURT or are you INJURED? You have to know which one because you can always keep going if your hurt, but you need to know when your truly injured and stop. You were hurt when you twisted your ankle. 2.) You learn so much about yourself in the hardest moments in life; when times are tough and hard and your in pain! ITS ALL ABOUT THE LASST 50 MILES! You must have learned so much about yourself during all these long races. Mad respect!!!

Soo ready for this!

i appreciated that, You're full on, balls out- and a great thinker. Maximum Respect.

Another great video Nick. Awesome 😊

Awesome video Nick! Like the different loop setup. Also cool to see your wife looking so proud at you :) That's what real work does, makes familie and Friends proud aswell :)

big inspiration Nick ! love it !!!

Dang, what an incredible wife you have. That’s the greatest blessing a man can receive. So happy for you guys, brother! God bless you

cheers for his support team too

Nick, you inspired me to commit to consistency this year. So far I have pushed through illness and injury (resistance). Today I set my new personal record for a 5k. Tomorrow it's time to go do some more things I never thought were possible.

Training for a swat school and I’m using your template as my cardio foundation. Really appreciate your content man.

You videos are so damn awe inspiring man it’s crazy, I’ve always been kind of a runner like hitting a 12 miler every week etc but this shit gets me pumped up to go hit some marathons this summer up here in Alaska.

Very well done! Very motivating. Anyone who has run 100 miles can relate to everything you said in this documentary. So much truth!

The empire behind you is insane, always so much power behind each word said. Lets go baby!!!! Leading from the front

Congratulations! You motivated me to run and keep pushing myself! Thank you

Awesome video man Thx for sharing. Just the motivation I need to start my tri seasom..

Love this video. I am preparing to do my first 50 mile run for my 50th birthday on Monday. I hope to see you at the Buffalo Marathon in May!

That’s a 11 min per mile pace! Insane, great job dude !!

Absolutely incredible video for so many reasons.

Fell off my fitness / health Journey the last month idky but this hyped me up to restart and get back to business starting Monday 😤😤😤

Holy SH*T. Your videos speak truth. This is the mindset of abundance that I love to see. Incredible videos.

Hey Nick! Just want to give you a shout out and thank you for the inspiration! I’m 36 years old and for the first time ever I ran for 30 mins straight. I always hated running but I wanted to challenge myself and build my discipline and commitment! One step forward at a time, one mile at a time. Thank you!

Great job Nick, man I wish I had a team like that....solo content creator, solo training, almost always solo racing.

Started Couch 2 5 K today, have not been running at all. I will run an ultra marathon by the end of 2024.

Love it congratulations Nick

Your a inspiration my man, you inspire me to run and push for my on goals. And to also make my own videos.

Dude you are such an inspiration to so many. Keep it up Nick. 🤙 definitely need Goggins on the podcast.

The standard of running videos just got higher! So good!

This has to get more views! Thanks for this video

Goosebumps on the end of the video.Good job🔥

You're a beast. Love your videos bro.

Great video as always! Keep up the great work! I liked the Leadville doc too, but this video was awesome as well! I just ran my first half marathon a couple weeks ago and have been working out and running consistently, as well as uploading to my own RU-vid channel. #goonemore
