yeah not my usual video but yesterday was crazy…

Not something I would usually post but I actually thought it was a worthwhile message for others. I hear so much of phone snatching and people getting robbed and threatened but I didn’t really expect it to happen to me. Hopefully this video can help someone not go through the same situation. I am totally fine by the way.

(Hold down the video and play on 2x because it’s quite long)

But yeah I was robbed, had my phone stolen and threatened/hit in the process. Main takeaways from the situation (which probably lasted less than 2 minutes but felt a lot longer):

As crazy as it is, London just isn’t a place you have your phone out on the streets so freely

Headphones being too loud and noise cancelling at the same time isn’t the best combination if you are on your phone

Protect everything with 2FA- my bank, social accounts, crypto wallets etc were all exposed because the phone was unlocked

Don’t bother fighting back- it was stupid of me too and just resulted in making the situation worse. Spent the day so angry that I had been violated but at the end of the day your life is worth more than a replaceable object. I just hated having something taken from me and that’s what bothered me the most. But weapons are weapons and its too risky to bother, I learnt that the hard way.

Dr. Martens are awful to run in- was a painful mile back to my house so I could block my phone lol

Thank you to @apple for replacing my phone. I could feel unlucky that this happened or lucky that i’m fortunate enough to get a replacement that quickly.

If you whatsapped me yesterday, I might have missed it as my messages haven’t synced properly 

Anyway, stay safe my city people xxx

1208.2km in 13 days 22 hours and 23 minutes…

And now the fastest person to run across Greece.

My name is Hercules Nicolaou- I was never born the quickest, strongest, toughest or talented, but I did it anyway.

Success is never guaranteed or owed to you…

But effort certainly invites it. See you can never control the outcome in life, but you can always control your input. You can control how hard you work, you can control if you stick to the plan and you can control making sure you show up when you said you would.

And at the end of the day that’s what truly matters and that’s what truly defines you. That’s the mindset i’m keeping throughout this marathon block for Seville- maximising my input, giving it my all every session so that when I show up to the start line, I know that the outcome is in my favour. I know that no matter what, the best possible result is guaranteed, because I gave my best. 

That’s why I love running, because these mindset shifts and lessons don’t apply to just running, they are life changing when applied to the rest of your life.

Today’s session:

5km warm up
6km target marathon pace
5km float
6km target marathon pace 
5km cool down 

6 seconds ahead per km on each marathon pace effort and session felt nice despite a busy week and low recovery due to some mid week food poisoning lol

Another successful step towards race day. Onwards we go.

Treadmill long run…

Heat and hills this morning. 40km ran, 1300m (4265ft) climbed and a bunch of gear and layers on- to get some extra weight on my back and a serious sweat on. 

60 mins at 3% incline 
60 mins at 10% incline
30 mins at 3% decline
10 mins at 5% incline
20 mins flat
30 mins at 15% incline (walking)
30 mins flat

Tough but strong session. 34 days until Moab 240… you can question my performance, my talent, my position but one thing you can’t question, is my work rate.

growth doesn’t reward you with ease...

It hands you a heavier weight. 

But that’s the whole point. Discomfort isn’t punishment, it’s the price. The price of all the things that you want to achieve. You have to be willing to pay it every day without hoping it will get easier.

Because it doesn’t get easier- the closer you get to the goal, the more pressure that gets applied. Difference is, you grow enough to handle it.

This is not just about running, it never has been.

Day 2 running 1200km across Greece, complete. 

89.7km covered, we are now over 170km in. The mountain roads, the rain, the heat, the terrain-they all tried to eat me up today. But I ate them up instead.

1029km left to go. 1 step at a time.

Seville Marathon 2026: 2:47:46

Signed, Sevilled, Delivered. 

Fell a little short of 2:45 but you know what, I gave it my absolute everything during this block and I’m walking away with a 9 minute PB- never been prouder.

Anyway, hanging the marathon boots up for a while, time to get back to them long long runs….

Sound has always told a story...

For me, I’ve always felt a power in sound- something I can tap into when I need that extra push. The sounds I choose to pay attention to, tell the story of pursuing them big goals I have, one song at a time. Music has been a huge part of my life and a huge part of my running journey.

That’s why I train with the @Bose Sport Open Earbuds. Built for active lifestyles, always comfortable and a design that keeps you connected to your music and the world around you.

 Looks good, sounds good, feels good, sweat proof & naturally adjusts volume and sound to keep sound consistent with your surroundings.

Oh, and one more thing, I’ve been such a fan that we may have cooked up a special @bose x @cadence collab for you all, but that’s just a rumour for now....

A thank you to running…

It changed my life. But not just my fitness and physical capabilities. It changed everything. My mindset, my ability to deal with adversity, my career, my relationships, my whole existence was shifted. 

This post isn’t stuff I usually talk about but I’m trying to be more open along the way, in the hopes it helps others. Running didn’t fix everything, but it was the catalyst. It gave me the tools I needed in order to fix things myself. I’m not sure who I would be and where I would be if I didn’t decide to start getting out there and moving.

Getting fitter has been great, but I owe way more to running than my marathon time, my vo2 or any other metric. It’s helped me find purpose. 

I guess that’s why I’ll continue to pursue these adventures and why I’m about to take on this 1200km run across Greece. Because I genuinely love it. It’s enabled me to take my negative traits and channel them into something positive.

If I can change, anyone can and I hope this inspires people who may want to.

My favourite trip to take is to the trenches…

4 days out. 4 days until the comfort is stripped back and you’re left with nowhere to hide, standing face to face with the person you want to be and with the mission you’d said you complete. 4 days until my integrity is tested again.

1200km, 14 days. 4 days out- can’t wait x

airport check in staff hate to see me coming…

Everything I’m packing to run 1200km in 14 days across the entire length of Greece. 5 suitcases, ready to go. There’s a few things I’ll pick up once I land as they would have been a waste of weight/space (protein powder and other supplements mainly).

Probably forgotten something, comment if you can think of anything.
