Berlin Marathon 2024 - 6 Star Finisher

[@srikalyanp]

Congratulations Mike!!! Well deserved!!! You are not only a 6 Star athlete but, yours is a lot more special to me especially coz you took hundreds like me with you, on your journey and on to the course, which otherwise I may never get to experience. Kudos friend!!!! Best wishes to you on all your future adventures!!

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much!!

[@akapantsusenpai181]

I love how you told everyone that your Garmin told you that they'd have a good race. That even made me feel good. I'm going to have to try that at my next race. Congratulations on your 6 Stars! I really liked the last photo with BITR.

I saw the woman at 2:17 after the race and she did in fact have a good day, I believe set a PR of sub-3:25 - Robbe

Another amazing video!! Always an inspiration. Congratulations on your sixth star.

[@kofuzi]

thanks Daryl!

[@FordyRuns]

Great to see you this weekend bro and particularly enjoyed the Mr T look on Sunday night #bling 😂

[@kofuzi]

It was good to see you after the race! After a few haufbrau house beers I feel like my Fordy comprehension level went up to almost 100%

[@gavinbraiden5985]

Massive congratulations Mike on that 6th star! Thoroughly deserved. And you were in good company with my good buddy Matt all the way👍Was so glad to bump into you at the after party which means I’m now 3 for 3 on marathon majors and Kofuzi selfies😂 hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Berlin

[@A_SEGA_Dremcast]

You'll be ready to go when they add Sydney 😜. Congratulations on all the hard work you put in to get here and thanks for sharing it with all of us. These race videos always deliver. Lots of smiles in this one!

I need to upgrade my garmin’s software to the Kofuzi edition 😂

[@LukeTalbot3]

Might need to change from “Non-elite” to “6 Star Finished” way to impressive, congrats 🎉🎉

[@NicolasWollesen]

Congratulations, well deserved! The Garmin comment to people out there cracked me up. Would absolutely love to hear that during a race 😂 Don’t ever change!

[@kofuzi]

Can’t wait!!

[@sean6222]

Congratulations on the marathon and 6 star achievement! With that said, I have to mention something that has nothing to do with you, but the race itself. When I watch these videos, I pay attention to the course and spectator situation to see if I would want to do it. Man oh man does this course look boring. Just very long straight roads with very little spectators. No way would I fly across the world and spend thousands of dollars for that. Nothing will ever beat running 5 boroughs in NYC during that race. Everything else just looks boring when compared to it. Its quite obvious that your great experience came from being with friends and getting your 6th star, not the actually race. The course may be flat, but I run for the unique experiences, not a PB.

[@kofuzi]

NY is my favorite race to watch. It is my least favorite to run

[@ChickenRunner9]

Beautiful finish! You deserved it. watching almost every/episode makes me so excited for my first marathon coming up in Long Beach.

[@kofuzi]

Good luck for your race!! 🍀

Congratulations on joining the 6 star club , I got mine at Chicago last year . A great feeling ❤

[@kofuzi]

it's pretty nice

[@sleepyturtwig]

Again congrats in running Berlin and getting your 6th star. First watched you when you got your 2nd star and knew one day day you'll get all 6. So proud of you and glad you had an amazing time there. Hoping to do the same once my body is in check. That's my goal. 🎉🎉🎉

[@kofuzi]

I never thought I’d get to all 6

[@timtrenholm3698]

[@evanhemstock4199]

[@kofuzi]

Yo!!

[@SenthilRameshJV]

Hi Kofuzi, congrats on your 6 star finish. Im doing my first marathon in NYC and this is something I will be aspiring for. Thanks for the inspiration. Quick quesiton about how you do the video. How are you switching between showing front and then showing yourself in the video. Because when I use my DJI Action 4 on the stick , I had to keep the camera in an angle on the stick to show my face, but if I then have to rotate the camera, it will face down or up too much. Can you show me a picture of how you hold the camera and how you mount on the stick please. Thank you.

[@wojciechmalkowicz3442]

Mike, congratulations on becoming six star finisher. It was absolutely insane to see you during marathon. Unfortunately I dont believe much in my performance and finished 3:26:09. I want to thank you for doing all of this running content. It's helping me to go through my life easier, and I really appreciate all of the hard work you putting into your videos! You're an inspiration, great person, and Berlin legend!

[@georgios.a]

Congratulation Michael! What a journey - literally and figuratively! Are you still training with Higher Running? Any next goals in terms of performance now that the 6 stars is in the bag? Well done once again for a great achievement!

[@kofuzi]

yes. Sage and Sandi wrote (and rewrote and rewrote and rewrote) my training for this build. I traveled a ton this summer, and it took its toll on the training.

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

[@brianway4240]

I didn't understand that last photo caption. You turned down the chance to do Berlin last year just for that picture? Is it a tragedy to NOT be in such a picture? Couldn't you have been in that shot if you HAD knocked out Berlin last year? Wouldn't you still have the 6-star medal, just one year sooner? Does life mean less without BITR tagging along?

[@kofuzi]

I wanted to do something with my friends. maybe you cannot relate. that's ok. my choices are for me. they're not intended for anyone else.

[@brianway4240]

@@kofuzi I'm getting the six-star medal before I'd hang out with them. Very easy choice if it's me. But still not convinced it had to be a choice. If you ran Berlin last year, do you suddenly not have any friends? Don't see why you didn't go if you had a bib. Anyway, you competed the list. That's great!
