Loved this. The emotion was real and bought a tear to my eye. Youre support for each other is awesome. Great running everyone.

[@FordyRuns]

Thanks very much

[@clowancelane8799]

Great video. As always love the laughs, banter and joy you show us. But also you looking out for Simon and him knowing he could call you for support and run it in together shows true friendship. That and seeing your emotion in knowing what Ben achieved. Well done 💪🏽

Great vlogg-well done Fordy!Mates before dates-running Simon in what a hero!! Yeah definitely would do Chicago again over Berlin.

[@stevedarunner5736]

You do a great job on these videos. Well done!

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you very much!

[@rosieb6886]

Enjoyed your video very much. It came up on my feed as I'd been looking for Berlin Marathon videos. My daughter, who lives in Berlin, ran it and was thrilled with her 4.41.08. She ran it two years ago, her first ever marathon , but should not have run as she had a terrible cold. She finished in 5. 45 hrs. So this time she happy at the end.

[@FordyRuns]

Congrats

[@richardbrown1573]

Great vlog Chris + congrats on the run! 🙌

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you

[@wednesdayfan272]

Well done. It's a great race. When I did it I met somebody who lived on my street also doing the race, I'd never seen him before, wild coincidence as we were from Doncaster.

[@FordyRuns]

That’s mad

[@Joe-md7du]

Cheers for this fordy. Really inspired me to sign up for my second marathon at the end of this year

[@FordyRuns]

Let’s go

[@footballisunited9642]

Berlin is such an awesome city. Must have been an incredible experience getting to take it all in whilst running the 26.2

[@FordyRuns]

It really is!

[@Echom4-kr5el]

This is why you’re my favourite! Such emotion and so proud. Congrats to all!🎉

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you I really mean that

[@brunofracalossi]

congrats on the comeback from injury! I passed by you I guess around km 20-25, and said that I love your videos 😀... I managed to run a new PB, 3:41, and now Valencia will be my next stop, trying to reach the 3:39 time there that I missed at the end in Berlin

[@FordyRuns]

Congrats and thanks for saying hi!

[@Ben_Chapman]

Thank you for showing the joy in running and celebrating all. Appreciate allowing me to experience the Fordy club from afar.

[@FordyRuns]

Glad you enjoyed it

Looking forward to the next instalment! 🔥🔥🔥

Simon is great. Sick on course but managed a couple of beers at the finish. Hero!!

Thanks bro yep he killed it

[@trun3149]

This for me sums you up Chris. Good laugh,pride,emotional and your first thought was to look after Si and abandon your own race goals. For all the laughs and the banter on the pod and training,you truly are a top bloke and care deeply for your mates. Great video ❤ Congratulations the whole team. Especially Ben 👏

Fantastic video, made me feel like I was almost there watching that. Well done to all involved and congratulations on the amazing achievements. From Robert, a GRC Fordy runner. I'll be rocking the Valencia half in October. Which reminds me, I gotta get a Fordy vest asap. I have a t-shirt but I reckon it's going to be a tad hot. 😀 Congratulations 👏 👏 🎉 🏃🏅

Good luck

[@thristytothrive]

One of my favourite fordy run vlogs to date 🙏🏻 P.s... "the airport dash” is still "top 5" fordy run vlog status in my eyes 😂 The way you reacted and picked up simon 🙏🏻 made me emotional because thats what friends do! Pick each other up no matter what! 🙏🏻 And ahhh ben!! Incredible! But lets not forget YOUR achievement too! From injury to this?! INSPIRATIONAL 🙏🏻 thanks for all the real, fun and forever inspiring content 🙏🏻 Yorkshire incominnggg 🥳

[@stuartbailey8124]

200% agree with ratings. Course was soooo busy and some roads were so tight. Water stations crazy. Course was very samey. Thought support was ok. Chicago definitely better. Congrats to all Fordy’s smashing it. Let’s see what NY marathon brings 😊

Good luck look out for Ben

Well done Fordy! Couldn’t make if you used the endorphin Pro 4 or the Elite 2? How did the shoes feel?

[@FordyRuns]

Pro 4 as they matched my socks

[@zanepritchard3600]

What Saucony shoes are you wearing? Good?

[@Gws525]

They’re the endorphin pro 4s. Will have a review on his channel if you search for it

Only just realised that there are two Bens!!!

[@FordyRuns]

There maybe more 🤣

[@davidpearson6011]

Will you review the Adidas Adizero Evo Sl soon ?

[@FordyRuns]

No they only gave them to the influencers in Germany who only do positive reviews of their products

[@alexanders4911]

Can you buy stuff in the expo or is it only for showing off? ❤

[@FordyRuns]

You can

@11.25: so many people 😮 i am afraid of crowds 😢 but i hope i will manage to enter a big competition next year ❤ will you run Gothenburg half marathon (Göteborgsvarvet) next year (may 2025)??

[@FordyRuns]

If they invite me 🤣

[@alexanders4911]

@ 6:18: such a beautiful girl ❤🙌😍

[@karlbratby4349]

Totally agree about London expo… excel is to far out and it’s such a pain that the only way to get your bib number is to go, trek out on the legs your protecting for the run just so you go and hopefully spend money, if it was a race for racers they would care more about the runners and not the sponsors, it has become just a huge money making machine and almost exploiting the participants.

[@FordyRuns]

Yeah felt abit like that

[@barbaramarkie8981]

Congratulations everyone , and chris you deserve a medal for catching up with Ben making sure he got to the end , hope it wasn't kendal mint I noticed you're still limping , look after your calf

[@FordyRuns]

Nope simon uses SIS

[@barbaramarkie8981]

@FordyRuns maybe he will change it to kendal mInt .before I forget, did you take your beetroot shots .?

[@charlietwotimes]

Do they have rules about running? Germany has rules about everything. But you're in Berlin & Berliners aren't remotely interested in anyone's rules. Major shout-out to SC Charlottenburg whose organisation skills are very German. Alles in Ordnung. As always.

[@FordyRuns]

I was joking 😀

[@charlietwotimes]

@@FordyRuns Haha I'm a grumpy old man this week. Earlier this week I couldn't get out for a run for four days in a row! Don't know how you had the patience to deal with your downtime & ace Berlin. Two days without running & I'm borderline homicidal. Good effort!!

[@chrisharrison5422]

Paused the video halfway through. Registered for a charity space. Watched the rest of the video. 🫡
