Petition to get Charlie out to Font to carry on filming the boys in their prep for the Euros

[@jamesmarshallp7415]

Without question, the best production and editing amongst anything running related. Keep doing what you are doing please 🙏. Incredibly refreshing

[@the.distanceproject]

Really appreciate the feedback. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@christopherwestcott2496]

A fantastic video but also fabulous story telling over the 3, it really helps the viewer feel invested in the athletes. Can't wait to watch the guys over the course of this season so hope you can keep with them

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks Christopher, this is amazing feedback & exactly what we’re looking to achieve!

[@shaylorcyclingwahoolecol8313]

I watch a lot of KZbin and rarely comment on production because many have got good at it now, but that race sequence was absolutely top draw 👏

[@the.distanceproject]

Much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to comment… it’s what we need to grow the channel 🙌🏻

[@ColeRunning]

insane production quality. the only running videos ive enjoyed watching recently. lovely stuff

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks mate! Hope you’re well 🙏🏼

[@kierancann6997]

Leading the way! Quality video, big events like this need more of these videos 🤝

[@the.distanceproject]

Say it louder! Wouldn’t believe how many emails & pitches I send out… a lot of brands would prefer to have a TikTok-er with 100k followers, as the numbers look a lot more impressive, despite less value & real impact.

[@pizio1984]

These videos keep on getting better and better, congrats Charlie and Callum! And "Right here, right now" was just a perfect choice!

[@the.distanceproject]

Glad you’re enjoying the content!

Storytelling at it's finest. I can't wait for more. Fantastic running from the lads. TDP on tour. All roads lead to Roma 👍👍

​@@the.distanceproject... seriously though, agree with a lot of others; really good production, visuals and use of music. You also really capture the disappointment on Scott's face after he's crossed the line contrasted with the success of the others, great storytelling 👍🏼

Awesome! But what’s going on at 1:26?! Who plunges an Aeropress like that? 🤷‍♂️

[@sinomahlangu6587]

I'm 17 y.o I'm going to run a xc race in September (6km), how many miles per week (ignore all conditions), would you say can make me elite? Or great at least?

[@the.distanceproject]

Mileage is totally subjective! It depends how much your body can handle whilst also maintaining quality workouts. Best advice is to get a coach!

[@sinomahlangu6587]

@@the.distanceproject thank you appreciate it, great luck in the champs

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

Jesus Christ boys, this is the sort of content that I’d have thought one of the brands getting funds behind & putting out. Unreal.

[@the.distanceproject]

Shout it from the rooftops mate! With some investment we will go even more levels above this! More boots on the ground, more angles, better quality equipment… that’s the dream!

Literally just messaged On’s account on insta with the link to this video. Hope enough people do it to get you noticed mate. Thoroughly deserved Callum & Charlie. Unreal.
