A backflip and a PR?! Congrats, Eric! Keep on crushing. 😎

[@flobergruns]

Hahaha thank you, friends!

[@solabomioyebiyi131]

I am not your kid but I was also impressed by the backflip😂… Flipping Floberg 😁

[@flobergruns]

Hahah thank you

[@koks39.]

Your improvement in a years time is impressive. Your sub 3 marathon last year inspired me to go sub 3 myself in Amsterdam a week later. Then focussed more on strenght training and just ran a little bit. But back at it again and you show that so much more is possible! keep up the good work. Will watch your vlogs and follow your Chicago marathon splits live on race day

[@christinaclementson]

I just ran the Tracksmith 5000 in London. Absolutely loved it. Track racing is a lot of fun. See you in Chicago!! 😊

[@kenmcgill9551]

Congrats on the PR! You are going to crush the marathon too!

[@flobergruns]

Thank you thank you! Can’t wait for October

[@benjamin.kelley]

Let's go! Going for a sub 1:35 half tomorrow - I'm close to the fitness I had when I ran my fastest marathon 7 years ago, and hopefully breaking 3 hours in the marathon next spring.

[@masonlevyy]

I'm going for a sub 1:40 half tomorrow Good luck!

[@flobergruns]

Go get it, man!!

[@alecbollman6941]

That's a great PR! I'm a former Palatine alum as well and I help coach the boys CC team now, we have quite a few HS guys that would love a 16:30 5k PR haha Keep it rollin', love the content!

[@dzhuwao]

Congratulations on the PB. All the best for Chicago 2:42.

[@nathanielsnyder1323]

Man you've gotten so fast in the last 2 years!!!! Its super inspiring and at the same time envy inducing 😂

[@russisrunning]

Congrat Eric for the huge PR!! Keep it up with the series, I really enjoy it

[@teddymckinney4425]

You're looking and sounding super locked in. Keep it up Floberg!!!

[@wesmcelheney9428]

absolutely love the videos man but also John Mark McMillan is one of my favorite artists of all time so, excellent song choice on this one 🤙🏻

[@ponderingfox]

Yeah, great to see you doing 5Ks!

[@TkONe22]

Keep crushing PRs lets go!

[@Stefikp1122]

Congratulations 🎉I can definitely see some potential here for improvements 😁💪

[@flobergruns]

We’ll see!

[@DumDums2]

awesome stuff! would love a video on your nutrition during training

[@whitegus]

HELL YES, congrats Eric so good!!!

[@flobergruns]

Thanks so much!!

[@willmcauliff506]

2:28 I dig the John Mark McMillan tune!

[@flobergruns]

⚡️🕺🏻

[@samcmillington]

Can you do a backflip on the finish line when you run a sub 16:30?

[@jeremygreenwood2668]

Great Vid, Im interested in the cloudboom echo 3 (assuming you were wearing them) but didn't think they'd be track legal ?

[@AlexPresa]

Peep that John Mark Macmillan track 👀👌

[@Haller928]

Awesome job! What app/website did you use to find equivalent paces?

[@danvoges]

Great work Eric! 👍👊

[@flobergruns]

Thank you! 👊🏼

[@danvoges]

@@flobergruns- loving the sub 2:42 series too. Keep up the great work.👍

[@nothing-q4u]

your marathon equivalent might be 2:38!! (your channel and story are gradually growing on me).

[@wayway9876]

We need a backflip training video!

[@flobergruns]

lololol

[@iim_human]

Well done 🎉

[@flobergruns]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@erik556]

great content

[@flobergruns]

🙏🏼⚡️

[@adultslovepokemon6615]

Do you think a lot of your fitness came from you running the 10 miles a day for 30 days?

[@thedavidjscott_]

Really channeling your inner Steve Prefotane lately 😂

[@flobergruns]

😏😏😏

[@Pvm87]

How can you do all these things and be a father at the same time?

[@alanshrimpton6787]

Technically it's a 5000m race when it's on a track otherwise non track is a 5k, regardless great 5000m PB 😅

[@jamesaylward681]

Congratulations on the new PR 🏃‍♂️💨⏱️ building nicely towards Chicago Marathon

[@ihillis]

Did you use the Echo 3 for this? If so how did you like it on the track?

[@YvensBPhoto]

It’s nice to see other photographers talking about something else than photography! So many of us run 🏃🏾💨

[@Christellezphoto]

Good work dude! You should come out for our shop’s group run in Waterloo when you’re here ✌✌

[@ElmerLin]

Incredible. Would you say that you were running near VO2Max for most of it? I'm very impressed that the first mile average HR appears to be so low. In-fact, i'm impressed the max HR seems to be quite low too. My own stats tend to be first mile 185, second 195, and third 205. My max is around 208.

[@louisserafini5377]

Dude! This is what it’s all about. Thank you so much for racing with us. Congrats on that PR! 🤝 see you in Chi!

[@diegoosalas]

Massive congrats!! Also, what the heck 152bpm for an all out 5k 🥵!!

[@wojciechjeziorski9653]

How is your ave HR 150ish while you could not breath at the end?

[@snow171]

Nice run! Was actually in the heat before you at that meet, congrats on the PR!

[@flobergruns]

Nice! Would’ve loved to meet you!
