Why do Letsrun posters hate everyone in the public eye?
Because 90% of people in the public eye are not admirable individuals in the way they behave and conduct themselves.
If Nick Bare runs sub 2:50 with the Maffetone low heart methodology, he deserves his page of Let’s Run! MAF puts him permanently on the hobby jogger list!

Title says it all. I predict 2:45 with a negative split.

NICK BARE should do it BARE foot. That would be impressive. 2:45 in super shoes or whatever, meh.

Most anybody with only a dash of talent can train themselves to run a 2:50.
And anybody with a dash of talent can bench 350 and squat 475.
Fitness influencers are for the most part frauds. None more so than the jacked dude selling supps who never discloses the real supps they're taking to get their 'gains'. Showing yourself to be a snake oil salesman is not great for business.
Shredded Sports Science does a good job of debunking these guys on YT...
Bottom line..
the guy is making boatloads of money and has a huge youtube following and LRC posters are wasting time disparaging him while making no money doing so.
Who exactly is the wannabe? Pretty clear to me.

I've never watched more than a few seconds of this guy's videos. Nothing he does has any appeal to me. Like I said, I would be impressed if he or any of these influencers went out and ran sub 2:50 barefoot. I know a few people who have done it and they are impressive to me because I run barefoot and I know that's hard. It's way harder than running that time in shoes, and it also takes being unconventional and truly thinking outside the box. Most barefoot runners I know are unconventional, but the ones who are athletic and fast are very few. They are impressive. Nick Bare is not impressive to me. He's a conventional guy doing conventional things. He isn't saying or doing anything inspirational to me. Just selling more of the same stuff. I don't mind sending other people his way to watch his videos. More power to the guy.
It isn’t impressive he built a multi-million dollar business from the ground up, gives back to his community, seems like a good dude and a great athlete? All by the age of 30? Ok lol
Lots of little man syndrome in this thread. Par for the course with Letsrun posters.
Very impressive. Just like his "3 hour" Marathon I would like to know what the real story behind that is.
Probably family money to back him up.
They had the course Boston qualified. Races kept getting cancelled because of Covid. He ran 3:24 at the Austin marathon the year before, you really don’t think he could go sub 3 after that with professional coaching?
Because its a bunch of skinny beta male runners who hate watching a man who weighs more than 140 pounds do what they can do. The insecurities on these forums are strong. Nick Bare is impressive for doing what he does at his size.
I hope there was something off in the testing video. If not, he has a LT of 6:20 and aims for a marathon at 6:17-6:29 pace (2:45-2:50) :-). He still has some time though
Lol. So rather a 3:15 at best?
Because lots of runners are low t dweebs and they get emotional when someone is getting more attention than them.
I've noticed that Nick Bare is posting his weekly workouts as the pinned comment in each episode. Has anyone put these into an open google sheet yet?
Pretty unorthodox..no true long run. 14 miles on a really long workout day. 1 workout a week. 66 miles in 6 days with no doubles.
M: 10 miles easy
T: 10 miles easy
W: 2 miles easy + drills & strides
7 miles at 6:15-6:20 pace; jog 400m
1 mile at 6:05-6:10 pace; 2:00 walk rest
4x800m in 2:50; 1:30 walk rest
2 miles easy
T: 9 miles easy
F: 8 miles easy
S: 15 miles easy
S: off
Wow he actually did it. 2:48:11
and the Bare trash talkers..go home DEVASTATED! Great job Nick!
