HALF MARATHON PR - Biggest Breakthrough in My Running?

[@robertvisser8450]

Only 2 minutes in but man, you always make me want to go out and run before finishing the video. There is something in your editing style that shows the beauty and struggle so well. Keep it up Eric!

[@flobergruns]

Ahhh thanks so much, Robert!

[@heinrichh.6369]

i recently told my girlfried i know running is actually not that important and she responded with "but it is important to you!" and there is truth to it. I do also believe it influences our lifes in more ways than we would think. Being it more fit and healther both physically and also mentally. also i love that it unites people from all Backgrounds all over the world in something they love doing and can afford doing with little money. ❤

[@AWCO91]

To me this illustrates the power of a deliberate and realistic negative split-you’ll run a faster time and feel better doing it. Great race and I’m excited to see what you’ll achieve with a similar approach to the marathon!

[@flobergruns]

Extremely fun way to race!

[@greertops]

Racing is great and all but the feeling I love the most is seeing my family cheering me on and being proud of me. That stuff hits really deep! Well done Eric, great race!

[@debrascott8775]

Been watching since sub-2:50 attempt and it's been incredible to watch your confidence increase. Everything is possible.

[@flobergruns]

Thanks for being here!! Fun times :)

[@plaughlin1]

This is the type of content that reminds me why i love running so much! The comradery and grit are everything, thanks for the inspiration.

[@RUN-SC]

@4:00 "the song" is played, thanks for the nostalgia. Hope you sneak that song in again from time to time! Congrats on the PR.

[@alittleshepherd]

4:02 goodness gracious me this song makes me feel nostalgic. Up the Floberg!! 🎉

[@jpdude123456]

Hearing that song cut in @ 4:20 was so awesome if you've been following for a while. @floberg amazing film/sound work.

[@flobergruns]

Same. It'll forever mean something to me.

[@AlexmacKnotty22]

OH GAWWWWWWD I WANNA GET BETTTTTERRRR

[@AnkitKumar-rx7ky]

what's the name of all these awfully amazing songs?

[@faizfarhan6797]

Panic attack in a michael's - timothy edward carpenter. Will forever be in my running playlist making me feel like floberg.

[@AlexmacKnotty22]

This guy is quickly becoming my favourite running youruber. I just know how fantastic it’s gonna be. Can’t belive we’re running different marathons on the same day. 2:32 is coming 🎉

[@rfs9210]

Man 4:02 just hits so much. Ever since watching your Boston training block this song has been on my playlist, and every time I hear it, so much inspiration and motivation comes up. I'm running my first ever Marathon at the Twin Cities Marathon in 3 and a half weeks. The training block has been kicking my butt, but now that I'm in the peak week, I have learned to appreciate the process so much. I hope that once I'm into the race and see the beauty and hardships, that I could resonate with a quote you said in Boston: "Marathoning is the coolest thing in the world". Thank you so much for being such an inspiration, and congrats on that Half PR! Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the training block and race go for you!

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

ABSOLUTE BANGER of an episode Eric!! Also - freaking proud of your accomplishments - it has been a whole lot of fun to follow this season!!

[@developingtank]

Hell yeah. So glad I started watching this channel. Great inspiration to get the morning going.

[@vikingsruleU]

"And there's so much beauty in the progression of it all" nailed it. I have my last marathon of the year in a few weeks, and this video got me hyped. You're going to crush Chicago!!

[@flobergruns]

Let's go! Good luck!!

[@davidstella6418]

I've gotten into a nice routine of watching your videos on Friday mornings as I get ready to go into the weekend long runs / quality sessions. Helps light the fires every time!

[@stevenmcfarlane6010]

2:03 opening two minutes with the montage and music are absolutely class. Top effort man

[@seekingUltraNick]

Solid effort, man! Jeff’s got you on the right track for sure. Now to watch your breakdown video on this PR! Great job.

[@DanRegalado]

Thank you for pushing me! Keep up the great work and know that I look forwarding to linking again on 10/13

[@flobergruns]

Brother!!! Thank YOU! Would love to run in Chicago together!! Hit me up on Instagram or email. Would love to chat! [e-mail]

[@sum41el]

what an effort, amazing race Eric! Well deserved, love following your process -- keeps me pushing as well!

[@mattialarese0001]

What a video!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 I loved it … I’m gonna watch this over and over again for sure whenever I need some motivation !!

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

Thing I loved most about this man, was to see you smiling when racing. You were loving it! Best races happen when you enjoy yourself!!

[@scottgibson3315]

This is such a sick video. Got me all kinds of fired up. Thank you for making these, you were a massive inspiration for me to run my first marathon in May.

[@samdking]

Beautiful. Cyrus's "let's see what you've got" in the last mile was excellent.

[@flobergruns]

Right? Got me proper hyped up in that last 400m

[@A_SEGA_Dremcast]

Your steady progress is so inspirational. Keep it up!

[@jarrettcouchman]

Just something I love to see! You’re a big inspiration to me of why I run and post videos keep stacking bricks and growing!

[@Magooinvesting]

After seeing the Strava workout I was stoked to see the video. Huge effort! Missed a month of workouts from some family problems but getting back to it before my first marathon October 6th. Love the videos as always

[@leeluis]

Love that you used the original intro track in the video, such nostalgia! Amazing race, Eric! Watching this before I go out and tackle my threshold run today! Cyrus crushed it with the video, it was a treat to watch! SO STOKED for what's to come!

[@flobergruns]

[@qmixi]

Amazing effort and determination, congrats from Poland! 👏 Hope to see you at the Chicago Marathon start line!

[@stephaniewright6716]

[@MalRoseCollecutt]

So damn inspiring. You make running and racing finally like I’m watching a Hollywood film.

[@lucaspeters32]

Your videos have been super refreshing as I have gotten myself back into running! Took a few years off but am now signed up for my second ever half marathon thanks in part to your videos as motivation. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s making an impact!

[@flobergruns]

Let's go!! Hope you have an awesome race!

[@Stefikp1122]

Superb performance and video, congratulations honestly i didn’t think you can do it under 1:14, but you proved me wrong and this is amazing PB💪👋

Thank you!!

[@enthalpy7679]

Great job! I just did a 1:11:40 last weekend and it felt good to be successful when you don’t always see it in your training. Keep it up

[@flobergruns]

Heck yes!! Congrats!

[@jenvandenburg9457]

Loved hearing “oh god I wanna feel better”. Felt like seeing an old friend. Warm fuzzies!! Kofuzi always teases us with his gagging, so it was nice to see some follow through in your video. 😂😂

[@russellpeterson1534]

Thank you for sharing with us. Really motivates me to continue on my running path.

[@runningforpizza]

Another quality video! Thanks for doing these cinematic videos for us!

[@Bryankerthao]

I'm racing Chicago with you as well. Loved seeing your journey all the way back from Caramel marathon. I hope to see you in Chicago so I can thank you for inspiring me!

[@flobergruns]

See you there! Hope you can make it to the shakeout run!

[@jesseshieldsruns]

I don’t know if I’m just getting deep into this Chicago prep or what but this brought out some emotions in me. Great video, can’t wait to feel those feels October 13 - thank you for this push Floberg 👊🏻

[@flobergruns]

Yes. Absolutely love to hear it. I know the feelings well. :) See you out there!!

The Gem was perfect this year. 50ish to start. It got the most out of me this year. “In the big picture, our running doesn’t mean much. But we work so hard for it.” You really got me with this line - there are times that it feels like everything is devoted to the run.

[@flobergruns]

Heck yes. Such a wonderful race. Thanks for watching!

Hi Flo, congrats on your new hm PB, it's amazing to see you progress so consistently. Love your vids and really like your style, I agree that running must be fun and not only grinding, sweat and tears. One question: did you throw up at the end of the race, right? Is it business as usual for you or does it mean you stretched it a bit too much? Keep it up, cheers
