It took Nick Bester two years to break 20 minutes for 5K. Another four to break 17. Then three more to break 15.Thirteen years after running his first 3:17 marathon, Nick ran 2:19:45. There was no shortcut, just years of chasing the next small win and learning that hard work can take you a long way.Nick shares what those years taught him about getting faster, handling seven failed attempts at sub-2:20, and why coming agonisingly close can keep you hungry. From fuelling to racing and everything in between, this is a conversation about playing the long game and remembering why we run.Heights ๐Ÿ‘‰ Get 20% off your first month of any subscription at https://highpfrmc.com/UT_Heights_YT and use untappedpod at checkoutRobinhood ๐Ÿ‘‰ Head to robinhood.com/untapped to get started and claim your free stock Hosted on Acast.
