[@old_joe_]

these race films are insane, it's almost like you should make a full-length documentary or something

[@flobergruns]

lol

[@sleepyturtwig]

​@flobergruns The whole time when race started, went straight to the app and track you the whole race. Every mile pace was on point, planned perfectly and smooth. There were hills obviously but you didn't let it take you, 6:30 on them was amazing. Last 3-4, I bet it was tough, heartbreak hill and more. Still after all that, managed to get 2:38 and PR at Boston is something that would've been a dream. It was reality. I was crying when I saw the time, all that when I was dealing with COVID. If you can read this, CONGRATULATIONS Eric. Cheers to many more PRs and racing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

*hint hint* *nudge nudge*

[@johnnytsang1660]

You looked cool man💪💪💪 like from Sydney

[@alansimingliu]

I will never be a professional athlete that plays in a super bowl or game 7 of the NBA finals, but the atmosphere from marathoning is a sensation like no other and videos like this make me wanna push even harder to have the opportunity to race Boston with the best of the best

[@daviddiazlife]

Exactly.

[@dinicti]

Well said!

[@flobergruns]

YUP! Exactly. So so good.

[@timjacobsen3141]

What about a baseball player playing in game 7 of the World Series?

[@Mr-SRG]

Exactly! I win my age group in Southern California by 20 minutes... Go to Boston and get beat by 2000 runners. So awesome being there. Go get that BQ, you'll never regret it!

[@stasz4375]

That project 2:30 teaser at the end!😍😍 Congratulations on this 2:38 Eric! Well deserved!

[@flobergruns]

Thank you so much!!

[@schenkmeister19]

Honestly could not be happier and prouder of someone who I have never met. Have enjoyed this entire series and your journey since I found your channel last year. Bang on!

[@flobergruns]

Ah, thank you so much! Means the world!!

[@dimitar297]

To be honest the music and affirmational wordings left a slight cringe feeling.

[@flobergruns]

@@dimitar297only way I know how 🕺🏻

[@noahcombs6286]

Congrats on a solid training block and race. I finished just behind you in 2:39 and used you and Matt as a gauge for the first half or so. I’m excited to see what comes next for you!

[@flobergruns]

Incredible!! Love hearing all these stories after the race! Congrats on an incredible time on such a tough day.

[@LuNa4Death]

Was watching you during the race on the app and wore out my voice going "COME ON GO GO!" when your little dot got withing 200 meters of the finish. Saw your results pop up and you were sub 400th and just lost my mind cheering again! Dude you are so motivating and inspirational. This may sound odd, but during this training block series it felt like you fell in love with the monotony of consistency and reaped the rewards. This internet stranger is so proud of your hard work.

[@daviddiazlife]

Exactly us tooo😊

[@flobergruns]

You’re gonna make me cry. You hit the nail on the head. I grew to love the monotony, knowing it would pay off, and wow. It PAID off. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Got me all emotional in a little Chicago restaurant rn.

[@ajwpdx]

What a journey! I ran Boston last year. Crossing that finish line was a peak life event. This video was nostalgic and made me tear up. You worked so hard and deserve to celebrate this, Eric.

[@flobergruns]

So happy it brought back the memories for you!!!

[@JenniferBBurrows]

I was cheering for you so hard near mile 24! You ran a stellar race on a brutal day and I appreciate you bringing us all along for the ride-all of it.

[@flobergruns]

Thank you SO much!!!

[@LermaBern]

This will be a pre race hype film for years to come... congratulations! 🦄

[@flobergruns]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@vicius23]

The first half of the video is insane. As good as it gets. Now I have something to send to my friends when they ask me about “What does Boston Marathon feel like”

[@gabrielbenavides121]

Absolutely agree!

[@JaviSanchezRUNS]

What more can I say than WOW!! You are truly an inspiration for a lot of us dad runners dude. I've told you several times over the internet how much your talents mean to me and I will tell you one day in person BRAVO!!!! & THANK YOU!!!!!

[@flobergruns]

Thank YOU, Javi!! Appreciate these words so much!!

[@kendallmyersart]

Just over here crying when watching someone I've never met cross the finishine. Absolutely incredible. I'm saving this for motivation on mornings that I don't feel like going on a run. Can't wait to keep watching you!

[@bnjmn_k_wdcck]

Glad I'm not the only one.😭

[@BrianBecker4476]

Absolutely inspiring! Thank you for inviting us into your journey. We are soaking up this content because it's nailing the target of an authentic, persevering, relatable story. I'm going for my own PR in 10 days at the Eugene Marathon! LET'S GO!

[@flobergruns]

Got get it, Brian!!!!!

[@stephensouthall424]

THAT is how you race. Well done Eric, keep pushing the limits to what you think is possible! We're here to support you along the way 💯

[@flobergruns]

Love you, homie. Thanks for all the hype this past weekend. You’re the man!!

[@plmarshall30]

Dude!!! You killed it! I enjoy your vids and your humble nature. You deserve to be proud of this accomplishment!! What a support crew you had! Thanks for making fantastic content!

[@AlexmacKnotty22]

Eric, this is fantastic. I did my first marathon in October in Amsterdam in 4:25. Im going for 3:45 this year I hope. Your an inspiration for people like us wanting to get faster

[@flobergruns]

Go get it!!

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

Eric, I've been following your entire running journey from the start and wow - what a race. This is one you can be so, so damn proud of! Beyond excited for the next season, but for now, I hope you soak in all the good energy and realize what you've accomplished - because Eric, that is HUGE!

[@flobergruns]

Demi!!! Thank you SO much! You are such a legend. Thanks for the constant support!!

[@TammyPappas]

Heart of the community of runners is amazing and never ceases to amaze me. Yes, I cried watching...incredible journey!

[@steffi9203]

[@nicholaswnuk4186]

AWESOME job! Been so awesome watching this journey! Thanks for inspiring and can’t wait to see all that is in store for you!

[@young-spark]

Best race blog I've seen this year. Looking forward to the recap and the deep dive. I can picture Floberg lining up at the Olympic trials in 4 years. Let's go!!

[@matthewlezon2475]

A 2:38 at Boston this year is like a 2:35 on any other course. The fitness is obviously there. Excited to see more!

[@AntSolisRuns]

Great video man. Recently stumbled upon your videos while getting back into running after injury. Stoked to follow along as you keep chipping time off your marathon best. Keep after it 🤘

[@MikeShamberg]

YOU. ARE. THE. MAN. Congrats dude. have loved following this effort.

[@mira7662]

extremely well done. was tracking you the whole time and was getting so excited for you. time goals don’t tell the whole story. you did good and should be extremely proud of yourself just as we all are of you. you inspire me and countless other people. i’ve simultaneously been working on my own marathon build and your boston 235 videos meant everything to me. i’m going to run the race next week. this race video gets me so excited. great job cyrus and matt fox for the video.

[@martinlosonsky]

Simply amazing. I love running, man!

[@Braming1]

Incredible accomplishment!!! Thank you for taking us along on your journey and look forward to seeing what’s next!

[@willjoc]

Floberg & Marquis, what a duo! Congrats, epic series & run in Boston.

[@rwemersen]

i'm 38 days out from my first marathon in buffalo at the end of may. this race video gets me so psyched and emotional thinking about how good it's gonna feel to finish what i set out to get done over the last year. on my own journey to hit a sub 3 hr marathon one day and watching your channel and progression inspires me so much. thanks for the great content

[@wholesomematt]

LFG random internet friend, good luck with your sub 3 long term gol. I ran a 1:47 half marathon in October of 22 and want so much to tackle a full length soon. Congrats on your courage!

[@flobergruns]

Go get yours!!! 😤❤️‍🔥🫡

[@matthewlezon2475]

Hey I’ll be at Buffalo going for a similar time goal! LFG

[@arodb3ats]

This was so inspiring! I found your channel when I was training for my first half last year, and being a student here in Boston watching you run one of the biggest marathons in the world was such a motivating thing. Keep up all your hard work, bro!

[@retrospectologyrunner]

Epic build man! Congrats on an amazing Boston finish! Thanks for the awesome coverage !!!!💯💚 💪🏅💪💚💯

[@rubarb1275]

Massive congratulations on a great run and great time! The video is inspiring, you should be proud of what you have achieved. 👍

[@robramey1935]

Excellent grit and dedication! That was definitely a faster performance on a flatter and cool course. You showed up and showed out in spite of the circumstances, great job! Plenty more greatness to come.

[@saigemachine]

Congratulations!🎉 Truly inspiring! Awesome video!

[@ashleymeins781]

This is the video I needed before my marathon this Saturday. I’m sitting here choked up and fired up at the same time. Thank you for the amazing, inspiring journey, Eric! Ready to see you do it again!

[@NBHSzebra08]

Congrats on the accomplishment. Really enjoyed watching the training leading up to Boston. Helped push me in my own training as I just completed my first Half Marathon this past Sunday in Jersey City. Cheers! Keep killing it.

[@chloeemmawells]

I could watch this over and over, it had me feeling all the emotions. Well done dude!

[@ThisMessyHappy]

The joy!! Absolutely loved every minute of this dude. And you ran with pure joy and it was so infectious. Great work, great video, great human 🤘🏼😊

[@TonyWodarck]

You’re a beast. I love this. Can’t wait to keep watching.

[@resiliencyinrunning]

came back to watch this for a second time ahead of london this weekend - so inspiring and get chills everytime!! ⚡️

[@karatechop]

Congrats on a perfectly executed race on a less than perfect day. It was warm out there and the hills are always waiting, but you nailed it. Enjoy some rest!

[@elliottmenu9458]

Congrats! Really enjoyed following the process

[@flobergruns]

Thanks so much!!

[@alexandriahaage2808]

Amazing job out there! That heat was brutal to everyone. Still got a new PR. Watching this, I can't wait to go one day - hoping in Chicago I can get that PR AND a BQ. Loved seeing this!

[@flobergruns]

Thank you so much!!

[@SantaCruzRunner]

Let’s freaking go!!! What an effort you put in. Congrats

[@michaelrbodner]

Amazing. Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration and my favorite KZbinr. You have taken my favorite topic - marathon running and apply incredibly high quality video, audio, and story telling on top of being an amazing runner. Can’t wait for what’s next!

[@flobergruns]

Means the world. Thank you so much!!

[@RunningWithDanny]

This series has been phenomenal Eric and congratulations on an incredible time, I’m genuinely gutted it’s over but can’t wait to follow along for sub 2:30 👏🏻

[@JapanJacques]

Hell of a race brother! Loved following along with your journey leading up to this one. Hyped for what is to come in the next marathon training block!

[@stephensmithgall6218]

I'm so hyped to watch this later. These videos have been a huge motivation boost over the past year and a half.

[@becastens]

By far the best running content and series i've head the pleasure of following along with. Kudos to you and Cyrus on making passionate content great again, Floberg! Can't wait until the next one.

[@davidgunther1282]

You should know something, Eric. The marathon is a very selfish and lonely sport: you run alone, racing the clock/your set goal, hours of being inside your head with nothing to do but listen to your thoughts, battling yourself, the inner struggle of mind over matter. BUT you INSPIRE so many other people, the people around you, your followers who you’ve never met, you show people that it’s a fight and the struggle is not unique to them. Sometimes we don’t achieve a set goal and that could be considered a “failure,” but some, like yourself, show that it’s nothing more than a learning experience and something to build on for next time. Keep going man. And thank you for inspiring me to reach for higher goals.

[@CantellaCreative]

Inspirational doesn't do enough justice to describe you man! You motivate me to grab my camera, get out there, and run. Rain, shine, cold, hot, windy, doesn't matter. Proud of you and stoked for what's to come. You're gonna crush Boston next year! Go One More baby!!

[@runnerhabs]

This is a gutsy race! Great job! Definitely makes me want to run Boston next year!

[@bzkjim]

Congrats!!! That was an amazing effort and an amazing video! Thank you for sharing with us...I run the race with you virtual just now! I really felt it and enjoying it!!!

[@PiercingArrowz]

Super proud man. I appreciate the videos and content, which really has helped me drive to be better and be about it.

[@kylebydlon9386]

Congrats Eric! Such a phenomenal video and even better performance. Can’t wait for what’s to come

[@andrejesus.]

I love you men. Was tracking your whole race, my heart was racing! You made this so real, congrats on the channel. At the end of the day, racing is the most magical way of telling stories. Thank you for sharing yours and inspiring so many people.

[@mattiashargin]

Congrats!!! Great race and super inspiring to see your work.

[@alexsch93]

Insane! What a video!! Congrats and big respect - you RUN on that day!

[@mikehobbs624]

Fantastic time in those conditions and on that course Eric! Congrats on your new pb 👏. I can't wait to follow the next chapter of your journey 👍

[@NickVacca1]

Love your content, Eric. Keep up the good work. Congrats on an awesome race!

[@ShayDog]

Awesome vid!! And huge congratulations. Epic run. It all counts.

[@danielmaximoufrj]

Thank you for beeing an inspiration. Fantastic race! April 28 I'll try my sub3 for boston next year and you are a part of it!

[@davidsawyer10]

Congrats, man! Super inspiring stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@TrevorGCO]

Bro I’ve been following you for probably a year and a half now, trying to explore my own running journey in that time as well. I teared up multiple times in this, feeling the emotion from the crowd and seeing you react to it reminded me of everything that I love about running. I’m running my debut marathon in a month and will definitely be thinking of this video on the start line

[@pegasus2516]

What an awesome video and epic performance! So glad I found you through this messy happy

[@rendy5092]

GG's bro, go next! Crazy running, congratulations on this stunning result. Can't wait for what more is to come

[@BradenJones]

So proud of you man, this whole series was amazing and these last two videos you put out were some of my favorite KZbin videos ever

[@kevin_zych]

Hey man great video and congrats. This felt super relatable as someone there too. I was aiming for a sub-2:40 time and the heat got to me too. I finished 2:48 with a fair amount of walking. But watching you go through the same with a positive attitude is super encouraging. Faster days ahead!

[@Proyecto-Ultra]

This video is just to f*kng amazing! Well done brother. Great work 🚀

[@adamdrake39]

You are a king among men at this moment Eric. Hats off for an amazing effort and also the generosity you have in documenting it all for us to be able to enjoy. 👏👏👏

[@bjarnerost2002]

This is the first video of yours I've watched and the last few minutes made me tear up big time. Running my first marathon next week, this moved and motivated me so much 🙏

[@flocav6962]

This is 🔥! I will return to this over and over again. This is pure inspiration, this is grinding, this is why we run

[@raulgarciajr916]

Congrats my man!!! You ran a hell of a race on. Hot day. Great work!

[@Powellcon_]

This has my hyped for my marathon in 2.5 weeks. Cant wait to see when your next race will be!

[@acon]

Great effort and work!! Proud of you man. Great working on documenting the series as well. You are so inspiring to my running journey. Keep going. Brick by Brick.

[@hopebagarus3559]

Gave me chills. Great video! Excited to keep following your journey.

[@Houlewhip1231]

Congratulations!! That was epic racing and super consistent given the heat of the day. You should be so proud!

[@connorsears9942]

Left me with chills, can’t wait for the journey!

[@siena3979]

This video is so inspiring and has made me want to push myself further with running, you should be so proud

[@wholesomematt]

Im so happy I followed along on this journey and found your page when I did. Wish I was able to be in Boston and HOLLER at you. Congrats on the journey and the process Floberg thats all that matters. 3 more mins on your goal doesn't mean shit VS the athlete this block formed you and is forming you into! all the love man

[@hagakuru]

man you are an inspiration. your energy and vibe are off the charts. great effort!

[@runwithrizzo]

Eric, a cinematic masterpiece, so incredible. Congratulations on your race and great seeing you in Boston.

[@brandon9run9]

Bro thank you for documenting this journey. I know you hear it often but it is so inspiring to see you grind day in and day out with humility and class. Your dedication has motivated me at 43 years of age to keep grinding to make my Boston dream a reality. Keep laying those bricks and can’t wait to see what’s next ✌🏾

[@flobergruns]

Aw man. Means the world!! Thank you so much!! Go get yours!

[@zero34runnr]

Congratulations on a superb run! I had my eyes on 2:50 but run 2:59 instead. The heat was brutal

[@seanrodgers9810]

My first marathon is two weeks away, your videos are so inspirational and the entire training block has been great for my own. This one will be on repeat until race day! Congratulations!

[@TheBrockKelly]

Incredible work out there, bro! Keep crushing it 🤘🏽

[@bennywallis1527]

Isn't it just incredible that people like Matty offer to help pace and also help create content for videos like this. I've done it a few times for friends at Melbourne Marathon ( here in Australia ) and although you were close this year ) it's an amazing feeling documenting these journeys so that people like yourself can have these moments for us and more importantly for you.. What I hear ( and I'll most likely never be able to run Boston ) is that it is a fairly brutal course and over the years how much the weather can change.. I had a 2hr 30 dream that was looking quite close to becoming reality for next weekend ( Ballarat Marathon ) but due to a bad case of the flu and really hitting me hard, I lost all the focus and determination to even try. I'll just go for the atmosphere and joy and chase that dream another day. Absolutely inspiring video Eric and I love seeing this sort of video coming together.. Thank you.. Best of luck for the future and running.. Look forward to following along..

[@christinaclementson]

What a fantastic race Eric! You looked so strong. Great video 🥳 Excited to see what you do next. Lovely to meet you in Boston too ☺️

[@tlibb]

As always, an incredible clip. Thank you for sharing this journey through your authentic story telling and production. Enjoy some rest!

[@justoutlaw6423]

Such an incredible journey. Happy to see it documented for future generation of runners as well. Had me cheking splits in the other part of the world and severel time zones away. Looking forward to summer :)

[@jverdin20]

dude. inspiring every time. My old bones at 36 want to get closer and closer to that 3 hour mark. I'm convinced that if I watch enough of your videos, I'll end up doing it...

[@1998VJochen]

Damn, been watching every episode of this series while training for my own marathon pb, was able to smash a 3.14 2 weeks ago, your videos got me through man. Next year gonna aim for that sub3! Thanks for the inspiration, keep up the amazing work! Can't wait for the next series, but enjoy the post marathon-high and some well deserved time off!

[@ChrisD1865]

Excellent video. Congrats on the race. The love of the sport and community is what keeps us coming back!

[@flobergruns]

Amen! Thanks so much!!

[@bolowest5255]

Wow dude...so moved by this!!! Congrats on such an massive achievement, watching from Australia...supremely inspired bro!!

[@tommy-vella]

Can‘t wait to stand at the start of a race in July for the first time. Your race gave me goosebumps. Thank you

[@OscarMinyo]

Chills!! Dude casually filming the entire race at 3:45 pace is insane

[@rfs9210]

Congrats Eric! I don't think I've ever felt this happy towards a stranger who runs 26.2 miles for the fun of it. I was so distracted at work tracking you on the app, and just cheering silently. I'm running my very first Marathon at Twin Cities in October, and am 3 weeks out from starting my training block. I'm incredibly inspired, honestly to the point of tears. Keep crushing it dude! I can only imagine what that 2:30 Marathon project is gonna be like!

[@pjlawrie1]

This whole series has been epic, I feel like I have been running that journey alongside you!!!!! You put it all out there and ran an awesome race, congratulations! I’ve just got back from London marathon sign on and it’s now my time to write that closing episode…..

[@MrSimi123456]

The ending have me goosebumps!! I’m fired up and so ready for your next achievements 🙌🏽

[@tchadoutdoors]

Holly crap! That has me fired up! Heck of a race! You showed how amazing the Boston Marathon really is. Thank you! I’m excited to run it next year!

[@flobergruns]

[@Herbert812]

Hats off to you! - This is inspiring.
