BOSTON MARATHON 2024 - Sub

[@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 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Rhormus]

*hint hint* *nudge nudge*

[@johnnytsang1660]

You looked cool man💪💪💪 like from Sydney

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 🕺🏻

[@stasz4375]

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

[@flobergruns]

Thank you so much!!

[@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.

[@KingKahana]

I ran with your pack for a bit (bib 628, min 2:25). I was wondering how someone could be GoProing, but so thankful you guys did. It was awesome to relive this (even if it was extremely painful). Fun to run with you guys and congrats on the finish.

[@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!!!

[@TammyPappas]

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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@austinbarry8124]

Started following you stuff a couple weeks back cause I saw you wanted to break 2:35:00 and so did I. I think you captured the journey of marathon training perfectly throughout your videos. Some days you feel on top of the world. Some days you don’t even feel like putting the shoes on, but at the end of the day it’s all worth it on race day. Wish I had noticed I was running next to you as I was clowning for the camera at 1:34 so I could show love for the content but hopefully this comment will do! Congrats on the fantastic race and know you have a fan here rooting for all your future success!

[@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!!

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@averageftmrunner]

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

[@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.😭

[@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!!

[@danielevans7230]

Huge congrats!! It was a hot day! I was a spectator for my wife who ran a 3:30.Her goal was 3:20,she felt strong but the heat got to her! You are an inspiration! Hopefully we see you at another marathon! I think Boston is a really hard course to set PBs with all the various elevation changes! Keep it up!

[@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!!!!!

[@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..

[@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!!

[@EnidMoore]

Way to go Floberg! I tracked you from Seattle, cheering and praying the whole way. I’m a nurse, 64 and 4x Boston Marathoner with Crohn’s disease. I know what it takes to leave it all out there grinding in the heat, pushing all the way. IMPRESSIVE run! So proud! Go get it Eric! YOU are the shit! Seattle loves you!

[@samives2976]

A big congrats Eric! My wife and I both ran and it was a hard day! I know many runners that fell short of their goals. You can be proud of the big effort! I hope you left as I did with a deep gratitude of what running has meant to me and joy for the way the race brings together so many people. I’ll be there with you aiming for the next one! We appreciate you!

[@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 🤘🏼😊

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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!!

[@Brian-jn8mw]

Eric, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. i teared while watching this and am inspired with what you are doing. i knew you since photography days thru mango street, and gosh you are running like a boss now! hope you do visit Singapore someday and would love to show you around. till then!

[@Haydenruns2112]

What a way to cap off the series- was honored to see you near mile 25 and scream out something towards your way (my clip made it! 6:33-6:36). I'm hoping to run Boston next year and will be going for a 2:55-3:00 in under 3 weeks now- your commitment to the process kept me motivated and committed during my block as well. Cheers and here's to sub 2:30(?) in the future!

[@JagFel9]

That "2:30 Project Teaser" with Jeff's voice at the end... Man, I haven't been so excited since first Phantom Menace trailer. Congratulations and thank you for being inspiration for me and many others.

[@flobergruns]

Oh man, this comment gets me so fired up haha thank you!!

[@Hummeldon]

Today, I had my final workout before taper for an upcoming Half. 5 miles at goal Half Marathon pace. Goal was to average 8:00/mi. I averaged 7:40s. Come race day, I'll have run nearly 1000 miles since my last Half Marathon in Oct 2023. 1000 miles since I went out too fast and failed to beat my PR of 1:53:50. In 9 days, I'm confident I'll be smashing that PR. I've been following your channel for over a year and your channel has definitely kept me motivated through the hard days. Thanks for putting yourself out there and amazing job at Boston!

[@Itswillcantella]

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!!

[@paultimothyL]

Truly Awesome!!! You made me cry again, just like the Chicago 2023 video! It's soo great reliving the day and course through your videos!! Great work Eric and can't wait to see you crack 2:30!! Let's Goooo!!!

[@flobergruns]

Thanks so much for the support!!

[@chloeemmawells]

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

[@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

[@Stentordoc]

I was bib 1072, one away from you, and had a similarly nearly perfect training block like you. But the heat got to me early and I slowed from 6:00’s to 6:20’s after just 15k to finish with a 2:46. You absolutely killed it, a million congrats for executing exactly what I wanted to do. You had the perfect race 🎉🎉🎉

[@martinlosonsky]

Simply amazing. I love running, man!

[@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!

[@iamaneesha]

I run a 4.29 marathon but my god you inspire me SO much! This video was beautiful, I cried watching you give it your all. As I chase my sub 4, I'm cheering for you and your 2.30. Go Eric, goo!!

[@Granadeño_Mario]

I have no doubt that you will get that sub 2:35 and even faster you are on the right path, just be patient and it will come. I'm also looking for a sub 2:40. Thanks for the videos, I love them.

[@davidstella6418]

Floberg has become the name synonymous with marathon running and training videos. These are so incredibly well done. For what it's worth, I was thinking that effort was a 2:33 - 2:34 if it was Chicago marathon conditions. So so so impressive. Can't wait for more videos. Maybe you'll do Grandmas in June?!

[@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!

[@russellpeterson1534]

Man… Jeff at the end of the video. I am fired up. LET’S GO! 2:30 Marathon! Thank you for inspiring me to push forward!

[@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!

[@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!

[@D_Mal_Music]

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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@davidrenshaw1403]

Awesome video of the race brought back so many memories. I ran my first ever Boston this week and really struggled from around 15 miles. But to see this video and to see that even someone running much faster than I did had issues with the heat makes me feel so much better. Well done on 2.38. Great time. I was nearly an hour behind. I had goals too and was aiming for a top 25 in my age category but end up at 197th! Next year….

[@BaileyCroffordMusic]

One of my favorite runners. So proud of you and deeply inspired by your journey. Don’t give up. Sub 2:30 is in your near future!

[@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

[@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 :)

[@teddymckinney4425]

Eric, I've loved watching this entire journey. Followed you with the BAA tracking, cheering you on from home during the race. I'm running Grandma's as my first marathon this year, with a major contributing factor being your own journey that you've shared, along all of these years. Thank you for your dedication to capture and deliver all that you have for all of us to watch consistently. Super proud of you buddy.

[@flobergruns]

Have an incredible race in Duluth! Such an awesome race!!

[@99allturbo]

Excellent video Eric! Props to everyone that shared video of you throughout the race. We really enjoyed this and the ending was like the ending of a superhero’s movie depicting the next mission. Very cool. We look forward to your next mission for sure. Congrats once again! - CarlosF

[@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!

[@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!

[@zero34runnr]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@AndrewPaul1]

Proud of you guy. So good.

[@Gabrieltavaress]

This is by far the best running channel on KZbin! Amazing filming and content!! I’m looking forward to the next one!

[@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!!

[@willjoc]

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

[@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 🙏

[@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!

[@timtrenholm3698]

Top notch as always. Can't wait to hopefully see an attempt at sub 2:30hr at Chicago, and marathon gods willing, I'll make it to the start line myself to see it.

[@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.

[@bolowest5255]

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

[@KEN_MUNOZZZ]

Oh floburg!! My video made is emotional on so many different levels. I am so proud of how far you’ve come and ready to see what the next chapter holds for you

[@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!

[@tlibb]

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

[@stephensmithgall6218]

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

[@samuelrockwell9119]

The best running content creator on YT and it’s not even close. Great job man keep it up!

[@flocav6962]

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

[@IamDannyM]

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 👏🏻

[@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!!

[@SammyP01]

You’re the man, Floberg!! Love how I watched you and Joe Greet and then I found Nick Bare’s channel separately later on and now I’m seeing all the connections. Need to see you on Nicks podcast!! You, the BPN team, Cyrus, RallyCaps… all so inspiring and I am trying to build a community like that in NC where I am living!! Thanks for constant inspiration dude🤙

[@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...

[@hagosmesgoun7195]

[@flobergruns]

Thank you so much for the support!!

[@steffi9203]

This video gave me goosebumps 😢 experiencing that great day once again through your lens. It was a tough one! Thanks so much for inspiring and huge congrats to your accomplishment 🎉

[@stevez3332]

Eric heck of an effort out there and i agree with coach, if you ran that race in CHI in 23 with that weather its no doubt under 2:35. I was in CT visiting family and went for a trot and was in shock at how hot the sun was Monday even for this FL boy so i can attest it got toasty out for sure not ideal but in the end you did not let the marathon beat you. Great job

[@sonofodinMKD]

Duuuuuude!!!! Unbelievable result, congrats! And the video... WOW. if there's a single person who is not hyped by your video then there's something seriously wrong with them! 👏👏👏👏 Can't wait for the race debrief!

[@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!
