In the last year and a half I've run 3 1/2 marathons at 3 hours. Training for another in October. Shooting for a sub-2 hour time using your training principles .
I'll be 63 at this time. Due to COVID I had a stroke 3 years ago. This will be a huge accomplishment for me. Wish me luck.

To run a marathon as fast as you do with so much muscle mass is mind-blowing. I've appreciated the multi-year journey that you've documented showing how you've progressed. Truly incredible.

Luckily, no stretching mentioned - we good to. Go boyz

This is something I struggled with for ages.. I kept trying to run faster instead of learning how to control my effort and build endurance first. Rovex Method actually helped me structure that progression better, and eventually the faster pace started feeling much more sustainable. Really great video!

Extra Tip: TRT

I ran my first marathon last week, the Surf City Marathon in Huntington Beach, in 5:06. I’m super proud of myself, considering I couldn’t even run a mile without stopping 4 months ago. What I noticed about the people who were zooming ahead is that they really have a lot of muscle. This is why I want to start doing hybrid training, so that not only can I build endurance but also gain strength

He is talking but I cant listen, I just stare at his bicep.

"endure the process" that is so refreshing to hear over and over again.

Did my first ever half marathon in may, just signed up for my first ever full marathon next may. Go one more.

I was overweight my whole life… this year has been quite challenging mentally and physically.. but I have pushed myself to lose 40lbs, started running last week. Ran 6 miles in an hour the other day, the last mile I needed to stop but u kept pushing, I threw up out of no where but smiled and started running… I am at war with my mental and physical because I’m weak but I keep going… I will get stronger everyday, IMC 2028. Thank you for you video

"CONTROLLED DISCOMFORT"
This was the key for me. Thank you very much

I used to watch you when I was losing weight, about 4 years ago. I was obese at 286lbs and lost 120lbs, now, 4 years later, still watching your videos but now I am training to do a 1/2 marathon in June. Yesterday I ran 14km (6min/km) for the first time in my life and I felt great.
Thanks for the tips! You help a lot of people

apparently you can shave over an hour off by removing your shirt

Run faster for longer by increasing endurance. Wow, what a revelation

If you’ve been wondering why you’re not feeling as strong, motivated, or sharp as you used to, Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks might just have the answers. The book focuses on the power of testosterone and how increasing it can seriously transform your health and mindset. If you’re tired of feeling drained or out of balance, this book offers some solid advice on how to get back to your peak

Tapering down from all the heavy lifting I’ve done the past 10 years, changing my perspective on running as another challenge instead of a chore has helped so much. Thanks for being my inspiration to get into hybrid training!!

I only recently began running (with a strategy and goal) and after 3 months everything else falls into place as well: even better sleep, better mood (especially after a good run), better concentration, better discipline, more relaxed/content, awareness of being fit, less cravings (unlike weight lifting), ... the list goes on. Forget self-help books, forget meditation or silly alpha waves before sleeping --> just run every other day with purpose.

A friend of mine told me similar thing about marathon prep and nutrition: "don't try to loose weight during preparation, you can loose it after marathon" :) (I listened and didn't loose anything :D)

I’ve never known of a guy with as much muscle as Nick that can run a marathon in under 3 hours

I just ran a 4:16 marathon in Melbourne! Totally agree it’s a process and patience is needed for building. Best of luck for your marathon prep!! 🤝
