Yeah, I wonder if the weight goal has gone a bit out of the window. Anyhow, it appears he is getting better at running while keeping his weight. 5:14 1600, and 18:40ish type 5K effort here. No reason to hate, guy is open and honest as far as I can tell just maybe a bit naive when it comes to running.

I would bet it is now that there’s not a marathon coming up. It’s not fun to cut weight, especially cutting weight and working out hard. I would bet he starts trying to drop weight again when races open back up. At least that’s what I’d do.

The guy is ripped so I don't see how he's going to lose weight very easily.

The same way everyone does. Count calories and take in less than you burn.

If anything it's a little easier for him to lose weight because at a higher BMI you have a higher basal metabolic rate with all that extra muscle.

Actually I think now would be a perfect time to drop the weight precisely because they are no race = no pressure. He could do it slowly so it's really not that painful, for instance 0.5 lbs per week. Perhaps he has reevaluated his goals.

He has very little body fat to burn and muscle isnt easy to lose. I come from a weightlifting background and from experience mass is hard to lose especially if you’re still lifting which he is.

Welcome to the forum Nicholas.

Lowering dosages works wonders usually.

What if he stopped lifting heavy and just switched to body weight exercises like pullups and pushups? I have a feeling he would drop weight quickly if he did that? But I'm not a lifter so I don't have a lot of firsthand experience with that world.

And he probably doesn't want to stop lifting I suppose.

The best bodybuilder in the world before the invention of steroids didn't look too oversized....

Even body weight exercises stimulate muscle growth. Although with push ups and pull-ups he could start to atrophy some as he’d be neglecting direct work of many muscle groups. When I quit lifting, I quit lifting. It took several months of no lifting, a lot of cardio and a strict keto diet. Even then I’ve still only lost so much despite running 70+ mile weeks, clean diet and very little lifting once I resumed after several months off.

Let me break this down Barney-style for you. Google "Nick Bare LetsRun" and find all the threads pertaining to that search.. then take a look at the overwhemling number of comments reflecting what I just said.

Take your retarded screeching somewhere else boy.

I don’t get why you are trying to discredit this guy? Is your ego that fragile that his PR threatens you? The guy has trained 50-70 miles/week and ran a 5:14 mile a couple weeks ago. Everything about this 5km PR is believable. Take off the tinfoil hat bud, it’s not a good look for you.

I’m shorter and a lot less muscular, but I weigh in at 190-196 and can run 17:30s for 5k and 36:49 for 10k.

So you're at most 5'9" and >190 lb, AKA close to being obese, and you think a 17-mid 5K is believable? Lmao. This might be the funniest post I've read on LRC.

I’m at 5’10, 197lbs this morning. Definitely not obese! Only around 12-15% bf. ill share my email if you want proof.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

If you are guys are interested in following a big guy who is actually fast, look up Hunter McIntyre. Massive aerobic engine, 200 lbs. He's targeting the world record for MURPH right now but I believe he's run 15's in the past.

Well if you’re actually frank shorter you can obviously run 17:30 and 36:49 even if you’ve ballooned up to 190-196lbs.

less test, more winny.....

and that's probably what he's doing since he's under 200 pounds now.

You should look him up on some of the bodybuilding forums, it's definitely assumee he's on some stuff. Why not?

It is safe to guess that anyone bigger than Eugene Sandow is on steroids/gh and all the rest. How can someone have 20-30lbs of solid muscle more than the best bodybuilder in the world before steroids were invented and claim natural is beyond me.

Because there was only one body builder in the world then moron.

If his average HR was really only 151, then this was not an all out effort. Unless if he is 60 years old.

No way the heart rate is 151 - Garmin watches just go haywire on all out efforts like this, you need a chest band to get any kind of reliable results.
