WHY I RUN 

I run to help stay sober. 18+ months and counting. Semper Fi everybody and never give up on yourselves.

hell yeah we wanna see what ur sprint day looks like! production quality on this vid was great

I started running recently. Couldn't run more than 400m 3 weeks ago, now I can run for 15 mins without stopping!

As a crossfitter, martial artist, and a person who is trying to become a "runner" this was a greatly inspirational video and mimics what I feel as well. Thanks for making this!

As "the fastest kid in school" I was often asked how I ran so fast. I would always give the same answer, I always picture my best friend from my childhood running with me. He was faster than me and would always be ahead by a few meters, but I could never surpass him. Moving to the United States I just pictured he was running with me and I was still trying to surpass him with the mental picture of him just always being ahead. It pushed me to my limits to the point where I thought I was coughing out blood (which I wasn't but it was that tough to breathe) but all in all, I just love running.

Looking so lean yet so strong 😳 Keep up the great work and lots of love and support from Minnesota!

running is my medicine for anxiety and depression

Wow!... The production of this video is amazing! Really different compared to the other videos you guys post on here. Would love to see more like this!!

I love “I had asthma as a child and my mom with her Asian remedies said you have to run” I live in China town in nyc and the Asians have taught me sooo sooo much about health n life in general. I went from a complete train wreck to running my first ultra marathon @44 a 60k Great video, ty🙏🏻🙏🏻

"Why a you running" ✋

I started running to condition myself for boxing. Until I broke my wrist in an unrelated incident, and just ran. Probably one of the best decisions I've made - running builds mental strength, and it's a medium to explore the world. Nice shorts

Loved the shoot location. Angeles National forest has lots to offer for the outdoor person.

These reasons is exactly why i do running and exercises. Great video!

Can you talk about how you schedule your workouts like when’s running, strength training, boxing, Muay Thai etc

Love the bit about how everyday life is rarely about huge fight-or-flight moments but more about small little obstacles. Finding something to put those obstacles into perspectives and getting our mind and body to coordinate in doing it seems super important. Glad you found running :)

Am from Africa. Kenya. Mombasa. Diani. My morning run which I do like everyday many if most of the times is the only thing I look forward too.. once I reached like rock bottom n I was broke .the only thing I knew n could do was jog it helped me thru that darkest moment in my life... I was all on my own. . Just me n my morning run... Next month am doing 21km in our capital city in Nairobi. Am so looking forward

3:02 I’ve been watching Bart from the early skit days and I’ve never seen his ripped body as openly as this before. Imagine having that type of male model dream body and still not be showing it off but be wearing regular shirts and pants year after year 🤭🤩 And imagine not being the type of person to show off your assets in people’s faces but instead having such deep humility that you can keep such huge things as hidden as he keeps it. That’s probably the side of Bart that I find most admirable - his humility - which says alot, since he’s such a multi talented and purely good guy with an amazing set of morals. I love how he does what he does not to firstly impress people but for the right sake. And that’s also why I wish everything good in the world for him, he deserves it!

Love it - I run marathons and do powerlifting, its definitely tricky tackling both distance and max strength, but very rewarding :)

1 second ago Hey man, I too have struggled with asthma ever since I was younger. I really appreciate how genuine your sense of purpose is and how grounded your morals are. You really are a motivation to the few of us that share your pain. Lift on.

I've started running and am currently at 3miles per day. Your content was super great and life is like a run you have miles to go and all u need to do is put one foot in front of the other and keep forcing yourself to do that again and again till u reach your goal and start a new journey again.

When I was younger my lungs were bad. When they would make us run the mile in school I would just wheeze and felt like I couldn’t breathe. I would always push through it though and never gave up. After years of running, all of that went away so I do believe what your mom told you is true.

Dude for 3 months I put myself into an intense cardio regiment. Ran 5 miles everyday, 7 days a week rain, snow, it didn't matter I was getting it done. I have severe asthma. My family was too poor to provide me with an inhaler growing up. It definitely hindered me athletically and in day to day physical work. Those 3 months have given me a life long high endurance level. I might be broken, bleeding. But never, do I ever give up. Peace and blessings to you brother. #isubbed

Love this style of video, running is so much about getting past the mental block like you say. So nice to hear of pushing past that. Super inspiring! I will try to run in central park tomorrow even if its a mile!

I love the one more feeling to running, then when everything evaporates and you feel like you can just keep going and don't want to stop.

Bart, can you start a playlist on “everyday eating”. It help a lot to know the food you consume to have the energy to run and keep your mind positive.

this video is inspiring and inspirational and motivational love the hd quality of this vid we need more videos like this from bart and barbell!!!

When I’m on top I won’t be overwhelmed, only glad, I choose , focused time , energy , efficiency, so I should complete and compete with a grin

Thanks for posting this Bart! From January- June I lost 30 lbs and stopped going to the gym and running around the time my son was born and this video reignited my fire to get back at it and do more.

Youre awesome man you got a new subscriber! Awesome Mac Miller music choice too!

This is my motivation for training. It keeps me going and think about discipline and strength

bart is on his grind season

Running is underrated. I love it, it makes me feel alive.

“Because it feels like you get into this meditative state and it builds this rhythm and it just feels like you’re moving forward in life.” Ayyee 🙌🙌🙌 same here

Looking great I saw your vid from 2years ago first and clicked on this one after what an amazing transformation !!keep it up and stay natural.

Just came here from joe's break up vid. Thanks for the inspiration after the trauma i just endured. Great video!

I love running also. You are 100% right. Your running pace is exactly how Fast i crank it out. I tell myself “its never about distance, it’s about destination “ great job and keep going brother, one day I will find my motivation.

Bart.. love it, definitely feel motivated and brought about another level of mad respect for you brother!

A fellow veteran. It's great to see you doing well. Youve earned every bit of your success and it is great that you are inspiring others in the process.

I love this dude, much respect.

Wow me hearing you and why you love running, this honestly touched me Bart. This is is honestly making me decide and run more. I wanna be more athletic and healthy. I think I need to increase my cardio vascular by that I should run and start jogging. Thank you Bart for opening your mind and help others such as me. Love you and your family and the movement. Stay Humble. Also I almost forgot, keep up the good work and effort.

It’s as if he’s about to give up and stop but he keeps running

Okay *production value* - we see you. 😍 this is giving me some Matt D’Avella vibes.

If you need motivation! This is the video for you. So deep and real.

This video was fantastic! Made very well. Very relatable to enjoying running!

Bart can we get a running playlist On Spotify from you? 🙏

Bart, I have been following your progress since the beginning of JK. You are such an inspiring and great role model. Keep up the great work! Cant wait for the movie!

You just inspired me to start running again, mad props my dude

Thanks Bart for the wonderful insight. I couldn’t agree with you more on your outlook on fitness and in life in general. Always appreciated your truthful honesty and this is definitely inspiring me to incorporate more running or conditioning into my workouts!

More vidz like this bro! Awesome shots and incredibly motivating - it’s just one foot in front of the other

Share more runs!!! Recently got into running and that you nailed the mental ware fare that goes on and how you apply that same strength day to day in everything else 🙌🏼

I’m going to keep that concept in my head from now on about running, it’s just lifting up your foot 💪

Am from Kenya,currently in Eldoret undertaking my degree,basically Eldoret is the home of the Kenyan runners,watching them run and their endurance got me wanting to do it,been doing that for a month now to improve my endurance since i play rugby and I totally love it,gets you pumped for the entire day and waiting for the evening's rugby training,best thing I ever picked up in my life.

I’m doing Muay Thai and I do feel like I can’t progress as I keep gassing out. Maybe I’ll take ur lead on the running because I am noticing this too.

strong words. I really like your videos and how you relate training philosophy to strong mindset. Excellent job!

much respect for the Mac Miller beat background

Thoughts from a balcony. What a great start to a video

Run the LA marathon next year! If you do I'll join you :)

I get the mental aspect you get in running! I’ve been a runner since my teens and it’s something I love and is always added in my weekly training.

I wonder how much bart runs weekly, would love to hear a follow up on the mileage per week or running workouts/distance work going into it! Either way, great to hear you really enjoy running :3

Man! Props to you. Love your guys channels. I wish i took this up when i was younger. Only now in my 40’s i’ve come to love running and cardio in general!

Shout out to the camera man who ran the same as bart but backwards while filming bart

Glad I found your channel again . You were my mentor/hero growing up .

Heck yes! Take us when u sprint, Bart!😄

barts my favorite person. kid can't be stopped super inspiring

I'd love to check out what Bart does with his sprints, because I have been wanting to add sprints into my own training.

Finally a real meaning full video. This man knows what he's talking about. I'm an Infantryman in the Army but I think I would get along with this marine

Are those barbell brigade silkies? Damn I gotta pick me up a pair

I love the honest presentation and of course, the great production. You provide inspiration to many who feel the struggles just to put one step in front of the other. Yes, running makes you feel different, something you cannot explain, but have to experience. Well done, and here's to many more miles and great health.

We need Nike to see this. This is some Nike type video. Barbell Brigade x Nike LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN !

Haven’t watched barbellbrigade shit in a hot minute but son you look waaaay better than in years past. Keep the running going, better for overall health and aesthetics

ran 45 miles in three days last week. I don't do kick boxing lol, but it does sort your stress level out big time

Great video. For the people commenting about the asthma part saying running would be stupid...my brother had bad asthma & suffered from many asthma attacks until his doctor suggested sports. He joined a local soccer team and with training, completely got rid of his asthma. He's now a soccer coach. 👍

I ran 10 miles once, foot hasn’t been the same since

Bart - thanks for sharing this video. You've hit the nail on the head whereas it is simply as putting one foot in front of the other, but there's a wall that just makes it so diffcult. It is inpsiring and motivating to hear about your journey and progressions. As someone who's 200 lbs @ 5'7 who's currently trying to shed weight and increase stamina (former asthma kid growing up), it was awesome to hear the stories. Juggling three businesses myself and trying to make time for my health, professional development and loving my loved ones each day. KEEP POSTING!

I’ve lost my passion for running I had a partially torn ACL and I been off the gym for 6 months I got back 2 months ago and it doesn’t feel the same I need a push 😢 I was so good

You make such excellent points here, especially the part about the fact that most of life's challenges aren't flight or fight; they're about endurance and sticking with things. Once upon a time I was quite an athlete, but now I'm 58, overweight and really, really outa shape; and I can totally relate to the stress and anxiety too! The truth is that at this point in my life it's more important than ever for me to maintain my strength, fitness, stamina and flexibility. As I see myself, my friends and my family aging, I see people losing the ability to easily go up and down stairs, to get up and down off the floor, and even to bend down and tie their own shoes! And all of us are feeling stiffness, aches and pains too of course. It doesn't take being a rocket scientist to figure out that this is the direction I'm heading if I don't take charge and reclaim my health and fitness. In watching this video I see that the reasons I'm so out of shape have nothing to do with my age and everything to do with lack of daily action. It literally boils down to failure to make these things a priority and acting accordingly. There's no reason I can't start putting on my shoes and walking out my door every other day. I can start with walking and gradually increase my distances just like you, and then throw in a jogging day each week, slowly increasing what I'm capable of handling and the speed at which I can do it in a gradual, injury free manner. I can do the same with the weights in my basement and with what I cook and put in my mouth! I wanna start feeling better and having more energy. I wanna be out of pain. I wanna have strength and stamina and to be more flexible. And I wanna look in the mirror and be proud of what I see again! I know that your audience is probably 99.9% young macho guys like yourself. But thanks for inspiring this older has-been athlete to just start putting one foot in front of the other again too!

they just dreams.. turn 'em to reality 🎶🎵

Absolutely. Running transfers into life. Its like a necessary evil. I did 12.5 this am in the rain. Legs were hurting bad AF

Semper Fi. Former USMC also (1989-1993) and also a running fan here. Have done a few marathons and did a 50K this year.

Keep at the grind and keep inspiring anyone to push themselves like you've done with me. I just want to say thank you to you Bart and the rest of the barbell crew for inspiring me to accomplish my goals and to better myself!

Saw the thumbnail n was like "damn Goggins looks different"

I’m running my first 10 Miler race this weekend. This got me pretty pumped. I definitely can relate to the same methods you bring up. I look forward to each run to get into the therapeutic state you mentioned.

Yes sprint day plz also hi bart hopefully I can work and be apart of your company and what it stands for

You can tell this is a production video because Bart doesn’t take preworkout like that! And lovering the quality and the colour grading in the video keep it up.

Sponsored by Nike. This was really good

Wow very inspiring. I have always known that running helps me focus and get through the day but never really put my feelings into words. Perfect reasoning.

This video was clean

I love the format of this video, it's very personal and shows behind the scenes of Bart's fitness journey :)

Did you get any asthma attacks or wheezing whilst in the Marine Corps?

totally agree with your knowledge on running and using that as my balance from weightlifting

I’m a runner and a wrestler too, what weight class were you?

Yes, I would LOVE a sprint day video. I am running nSuns 5 day variant and I feel destroyed with the volume, so much that I couldn't do many accessories let alone cardio. I have time constraints so I can't really do 30 minutes on the elliptical at the end so I tried incorporating max effort sprints on non-leg days. I used to need 2 min+ rest in between sets but ever since I added sprints I'd recover in less than 90 seconds. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how sustainable this approach is versus your 10 mile marathon style runs because I am starting to experience shin split pain in my left leg. I would love to see your sprint day video because I expect it to cover the old question of HIIT vs steady state cardio, specifically for someone running a powerlifting program like nSuns. If steady state is better I suppose I'll have to adapt. I just want the incredible endurance that you aim for too.

this video inspired me to stop alcohol and smoking

I’m new to running but I’ve fallen in love with it too. I’m doing a 5 min mile challenge and documenting the journey on my RU-vid channel. Here’s to getting outside your comfort zone. .

Take care of them knees. Once they go, you turn into insta old man status. Throw in some swimming or elliptical to keep the pressure off.

Wow! Really loved this video! Really inspiring!! Keep up the hard I love running as well!

Thoughts From A Balcony -Mac Miller

Great vid man, I used to run too but life and study got in the way so I have stopped for more than 2 years now...but thanks to this I am thinking about going back!

The only thing that's running are these ads on youtube 😂

Best video ever. Running has huge mental benefits.
