Was such a pleasure to run alongside you and Scotty - I appreciate the pacing. More soon

[@flobergruns]

You ran so well, man. Can't wait to see you smash the full.

[@jarrettcouchman]

I gotta say it, as a Canadian I really appreciate the conversion from miles to KM on the screen so thank you!

[@RoyalChukwuka-w8f]

"Y'all gotta see this, a new Floberg just dropped!" My legit reaction whenever I see these videos, thank you for being such a light and an inspiration in the running community and keep on crushing it

[@flobergruns]

Ahhh what a kind sentiment. Thank you so much!! I had so much fun editing this one. It just keeps getting cooler and more fun every year. Hope you're well!!

[@logancarroll3621]

Great example of how trusting the process while having fun leads to happy and meaningful running! Also…2nd fastest half ever, while not puking!!!! Crazy fit!

[@AdrianCamo95]

every video is so enthralling

[@romanticegotist1]

that uphill into campus and then through to the finish is no joke, it almost did me in last year. nice job, glad you're liking Austin!

[@Moneyymunoz]

Absolute pleasure getting to finally meet you at the finish after following the channel for so long! Thanks for inspiring me always 👊

[@MuseFoxs]

Let's GO! Been stoked for this ever since last vids teaster 😁👏Awesome to see you getting that strength in. One of the best part is always seeing you and the BPN guys have fun! 😊

[@MidLifeRunner]

Hell of an effort and great training stimulus! After the race I plugged in the times to VDOT and I realized I always just give myself the credit for the race equivalent times. “1:20:35, I could do a 2:47-2:48 full” ignoring the stipulations of a relatively flat course, decent weather conditions, appropriate training build and all out effort. 😅😅. 12 weeks to Boston- almost time to que up that Boston playlist 💪🏼

[@flobergruns]

Hahaha those friggin calculators, man. Can't wait to see you destroy the full distance!!

[@jrmiles2323]

Floberg, thank you for the fantastic material and tips. You have gotten me through a marathon block on the treadmill here in New Delhi because of the terrible air. You rock!

[@KyleMcCueRunning]

No Puke! haha, love the race recaps! The team vibe before a race is next level. I ran buffalo last year and it's the only race I've done where I got a place with two other friends running and it just made it all more special. Everything we did the day before was intentional and we were all just feeding off each other. ✌

[@flobergruns]

The BEST! The group chat is lighting up this morning with everyone wanting to race Hidden Gem in September together. Can't wait!!

[@aaronsharp2383]

Awesome video, what a cool experience it must have been to go out there and experience that energy and race such a good race man. Keep crushing it💪🏼

[@alexanderguevara3673]

Been waiting anxiously for this since the last video 😅 congrats on a great race man

[@3mmroyston54]

The shirt is worth a sub!

[@clarkruns]

You’re such an inspiration my guy

[@choccyverstapilton]

Flo is back.. love your stuff Eric - helps keep the motivation up for the spring marathon grind 👍🏻 PR or ER… a new start line quandary for us all 😂

[@flobergruns]

Love to hear it!! Keep grinding!!

[@nico.felich]

Bro, such a great weekend hanging with you!

[@julzdelviscio]

So great seeing you!!! Austin loves you!!

[@Oxbowphoto]

KZbin might have put this down as a 1/10 video but I am so glad I watched it. Just the motivation I needed to get after it this week. Thanks Eric

[@johnconn3054]

What do you mean

[@Oxbowphoto]

@ Eric posted on his instagram that KZbin gave this video a 1/10 as part of the grading performance stats

[@AlexPappas94]

I love the Larry Enticer snow mobile video😂

[@GriffRuns]

Minted + Floberg = 🐐

[@alvantran1098]

Was running Houston Marathon that day! Ran with one of the few people you coach for 22 miles! He went out and killed it that day. Keep up the good work Floberg. P.S. drop some merch already

[@flobergruns]

Oh heck yes!! Grant (2:55) or Andy(3:32)? Some fun stuff coming soon!!

[@alvantran1098]

@@flobergruns Grant - hopefully I see him again at grandmas if he plans on doing that cause i had so much fun running those 22

[@billydaballer6357]

you got this chief! crush those milestones...

[@adamdrake39]

I’ve got so much respect for you Eric and what you share on your videos is super insightful. Watching this series with anticipation and willing you on to that 2:30 marathon 🤞🤞👏👏

[@BUSCHY1]

Man.. was traveling in Austin from Australia and missed this event by a week. Would have been amazing to run it!

[@AlexmacKnotty22]

I AM A ONEEEEE MANNNNN WRECKING MACCHIIIIINEEEEEE- let’s go

[@fonzian]

father floberggggg

[@TwoHappyChildrenFarm]

A cold day in Austin. Running down Speedway with the boat architecture. Cool.

[@flobergruns]

Was a blast!!

[@LuNa4Death]

Fellas it's HUMP DAAAY!! Always look forward to your Wednesday vids cause it motivates me to do my tempo run for the day 🏃‍♂️ did a truly humbling 1ft deep mudfest 5km trail run last weekend, highly recommend getting passed by 12yr olds on the trail. Keeps the ego in check and makes you plan midweek tempo runs to dunk on them next time. 😂

[@flobergruns]

Oh heck yes!! My second marathon, I got passed by woman in her 60s and it was a moment I'll never forget haha

[@blastedpotato]

Dude, I was in a similar to you but I did the Houston Marathon. In the hospital on Wednesday and raced on Sunday 😂

[@daveforz]

dawgberg

[@chrispugh6161]

I managed to get the pre release Elite 2 - much softer but does firm up at pace 👍🏻

[@Stefikp1122]

Hey Erik i was actually impressed you dropped this one in such s competitive time! Considering you have been sick month ago and you ate at the begging of build up you will value it this race when you look back one day. I am saucony guy…where did he buy the blue version of the elite 2 version? They are all sold out…i am also thinking of buying pro4, anyway all the best to your training!

[@flobergruns]

Thank you! They work with Saucony a lot with their business, so Saucony actually made that version of the shoe for them. You can see their Minted logo on the side.

[@Stefikp1122]

@ ohh well they better start work with us too or else…😅

[@boonelax15]

@5:33 What nasal strips do you use? Always struggle to find some that actually work.

[@nextorramirez]

Love the video! How do you get in touch with bandit running? I’m a professional runner at Puerto Rico and i would love to work with them.

[@BlakeDavis42]

Big dawg. Saw you and Scotty briefly in Ryan's vlog. Real ones know.

[@flobergruns]

My man knows.

[@solefreak2]

@floberg, how do you deal with the sickness when going all out in races or even sessions? I suffer from this real bad to the point it effects my performance.

[@kengifford3714]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jakemartinez4208]

What size bandit half tights? 🧐

[@Matthieuruns]

Does anyone know the name of the song at the beginning of the video? Love it!

[@flobergruns]

One Man Wrecking Machine by Guster! ⚡️

[@_Don_P]

Could we see a gym/strength training routine?

[@IrishHawk824]

PR or ER, bang! Hahaha

[@jeremyrivers6194]

I'm in this video @ 0:43. My brother was in your CIM 2023 video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5TPn2CYnpWnr6s) @ 3:23. Funny how that worked out. Maybe we'll cross paths again someday!

[@benjamin.kelley]

"Eric the Enticer"

[@FocusFightFinish]

Does this mean I'm in SAG-AFTRA?

[@dgc622]

Are you running Boston again? I am! Any other people out there planning on Boston 2025?

[@owenawagner]

youtube dad

[@flobergruns]

you a real one.

[@aaaaooooii]

Would love to hear you acknowledge the controversy behind Fonz’s “RawDawg” run group: 1) Running the Austin Marathon without paying for it 2) Regularly taking up entire trails and roads and muscling everybody off or out of the way in Austin, to the point where the city is trying to ban them. Really lame association that’s causing local runners a huge headache, and tarnishing the Austin running scene.

[@aaaaooooii]

For the record, I really love *your* channel, and what YOU are about. You do not strike me as one of these people at all. But there’s been little to no accountability for that group being douchebags to other people in Austin.

[@VangRVang]

Dang… I came here to see 🤢 Maybe next time huh…. 😅

[@sschwen8050]

Love your videos but that ice cream scooper microphone is seriously annoying. Why not use something unobtrusive that doesn’t take up so much of the screen. It looks stupid tbh.

[@flobergruns]

It was gifted to me by a friend, and I love it. I think it looks & sounds good. 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@sschwen8050]

@ Ok maybe not hold it all the time then? I seriously think you’re working at Baskin Robins. I admit it sounds good.
