I'm a simple lad. I see a Floberg vid, I click to watch. No but for real, your videos are so inspiring, I don't even know how many times I've gone back and watched your race vids for motivation when I'm not feeling up for a workout. Always gets me up and moving. Thank you for all your hard work you put into not just the miles but also these videos and most importantly for showing up for yourself.

[@MusingTowardtheReal]

Floberg is the real deal. Inspiring a whole fleet of working professionals and parents to live passionately inside and out of their busy lives! Subscribed!

[@RylanKauffman]

You have been such an inspiration to me this year. I ran my first marathon in Indianapolis this year running a 3:47. It has been so much fun to follow along on your journey!

[@flobergruns]

Congrats!!

[@teddymckinney4425]

“The fight is worth the feelings, so go commit to the process”……. Fucking hell, Fire me UPPPPPP!!! Running my first marathon at grandma’s this year, due to a ton of inspiration from your Floberg. I made a lot of running progress this year, with your content and process playing a huge roll in that. I’m fucking excited man. Sharing your experiences has helped me so much. You’re going to crush Boston. GET AFTER IT!!!

[@GabrielGarcia-lh3bo]

Need a super cut of all your motivational quotes by the end of next year. “I’m not special, but the work I’ve put in has afforded me the chance to do something special” and this video’s “The fight is worth the feelings” are amazing motivation.

[@StephenJamesRheeder]

Pls put it on a shirt @flobergruns

[@user-iq9yj3gk9w]

I ran my 2:35 PR averaging about 53 miles a week in the immediate training period. This was many years ago. That was nearly a 9 minute PR at the time (1983). It took me almost 5 years from my first marathon finish to do this, though I was lucky that I broke three hours in my second marathon. Quality work helped me. Now, at 71, my stride is maybe 60 percent of what it was back then. I no longer run full marathons but I still run up to the half marathon distance.

[@Ilverobobb]

I am an Italian living in London and It’s been many months I am following you on every social, and I have to thank you for the huge push you gave me from literally the other side of the world. I am committed for my first marathon (Rome, spring 2024) and - guess what - Chicago 2024! I hope I will be able to say hello and thank you in person there, where I will attempt a sub 3h: not even half of my daily motivation throughout 2023 would existed without your story telling. Wish new PB to both of us in 2024 🎉❤

[@flobergruns]

Aw man!! Means so much! I’ll be out there at Chicago. Looking forward to meeting you!

[@francescabuscicchio3704]

I’m Italian too (I live in Italy) and I’ll be in Rome march 2024 and In Chicago 🤩 hope to meet you all out there. Thanks @floberg because following your journey made me believe in myself 🫶🏻

[@dustinhalfmann8861]

See you in Chicago!!

[@John-vz8ri]

Loving this!

[@patrickbateman161]

Glad I came across your channel. Excellent information. I’m 42 been running for around two years. Training hard for alittle over a year and have a great coach. Currently I am training for 3:05 at this years Utah valley marathon.

[@hagosmesgoun7195]

I am 45 I’ve been consistently running for 13 months now currently going for sub 2:55 in April in Boston LGF! I did my first sub 3 at cim 2:59:51 - going for my 4th marathon- attempting to break 2:50 in Chicago- - age don’t mean ish keep showing up ya!!!

[@17matts]

“The fight is worth the feelings” we need a Floberg shirt in 2024!

[@pastorelliromain2780]

Great video and congratulations on your 2023 achievements! Very inspiring!

[@BlakeDavis42]

Epic video. Awesome year of running!! You’re a beast!

[@MrFroggerGaming]

Lovely stuff. Great inspiration for me to commit to the process and get fit and run well.

[@jordancolefitness]

Enjoyed your videos this past year. Keep it up!

[@LuisZapataGonzalez]

Amazing video!

[@hannesvdvreken]

Didn’t run a marathon for 6 years. Spent 9 months only doing base miles consistently week over week, plus 2 months marathon prep with a 10k test race included. Beat my old PR by 10 minutes to run a 2:42. It’s as simple as that. Consistency, then volume, then intensity.

[@luuismontoya]

Congrats bro! So inspiring! 👊

[@TYNelson]

Only have ran 2 marathons to date but thanks to your tips and motivation I went from a 4:38 at monumental in 2022 to a 3:39 in 2023! Hoping to crush new PR in Chicago in 2024. Continue doing what you do best!

[@StephenJamesRheeder]

THAT IS AWESOME

[@danvoges]

Excellent content again Eric - it has been great following your journey to sub 3 and beyond. Good luck with your Boston prep!

[@RunningWithDanny]

Great video. Thank you for that.

[@ryanskinner2084]

Just found your channel last night. Binged. Just in time for this gem today. Super inspired by your transparency. Value the work, commit to the process, and results come by default. Keep doing what you’re doing, man!

[@nizarmohd4176]

Very inspiring!

[@dreseat123321]

Love this. Got me hyped for 2024 blocks!!

[@MiguelRivera-cs9tx]

Great and inspiring video. Thanks for sharing

[@MrN0115]

Love your videos and inspiring content! Happy new year and keep running! This year I am from 3:50 and crushed my new PR of 3:42 in Chicago, I think I need to trust the process and push harder in 2024!

[@samdking]

Incredible craft and running achievement. It's been a joy following your progress this year. Your storytelling is unmatched. Just wish this was longer like your breakdown videos 😄

[@chrisdodds7973]

Have loved following the journey. Huge inspiration…here’s to big things in 2024 🏃🏻‍♂️ 👏🏻

[@Tommyadams]

Congratulations on an amazing year and thanks for taking us along on the journey. You’ve been a big inspiration this year which has helped me get more serious with my own training. The quality of your videos and your humour makes this one of the best channels on here, good luck at Boston.

[@flobergruns]

Ah, thanks so much!!

[@botrytis_cinerea]

Stunning editing and quality overall. Love the content. Subbed.

[@chadmeeks1]

Well done my guy!! Stoked to see you and Kris work together!

[@tkousaplis]

As someone who is starting their first marathon training block next week, this video (and all your other videos) are incredibly inspiring to me. Thank you for pushing us amateur runners to take running more seriously and hit new PRs

[@yubs7022]

Keep following you from the initial time, and it's great to see your improvement and it gives me a lot of inspiration. Hope to see you in Boston 👍

[@DOCUMEANT_MEDIA]

Always a winner when a Floberg video pops up!!! The documentary craft of each video is unmatched 🙌

[@chrisjones3101]

Congratulations on a fantastic year. Thanks for sharing your journey. Happy New Year. Excited to see what 2024 brings for you.

[@JapanJacques]

Awesome video, and super impressive progression from sub 3! Ran my first marathon at the end of 2022 in 4:23, second in Nov 2023 in 4:08, but totally slacked on the training for both occasions. Only the last 3 months or so I’ve really committed to training 5-6x a week and learning, and have already seen immense gains in my aerobic base and speed. Next target is a half mara in March (going for a sub 1:35), and going sub 3:30 in my next mara (likely in the fall). Never thought sub-3 would be possible for me but if I can pull a 1:30 half this year, I may go for sub-3 in spring of 2025 (would love to do it in Tokyo Marathon if I can get a spot).

[@imranmohdkamal]

You're awesome man. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@katmremes]

Can't wait what's in store for you! 🙌 go get it!!!

[@grahamhainesruns]

You’ve been an inspiration all year man, I’ve learned so much just from watching your videos. Excited to keep following along and watch you crush this Boston build ⚡️

[@terciosantana4697]

great video! LFG!

[@ClintonTonge]

Great video man. Crush it this year 👍👍

[@BespokeFotografie]

I came across this channel in mid October, I was injured and not able to run. I started rehabbing and trying to figure out how I could get better. In the process I found your channel and it has been very inspiring. Last year I ran my first half marathon in Naperville. This year I didn't do a lot of running and as I mentioned I was injured. In 2024 I've signed up for the Chicago Distance Series (Shamrock-Half-Full) Having seen your videos on how you've progressed has lit that fire 🔥 for me. I recently started running again and I've already been saying something similar after every run; "Stick with the process" I hope to get to see you and run with you one day. Thanks!! 👊🏻😎

[@KTRC1221]

Floberg, can't explain how much I enjoy your channel. Truly the best of the best. As a Bostonian, so stoked to watch the Boston Build, and to see you out on the course in April!

[@vikingsruleU]

I have been a follower since you started this page, and being a part of this journey has been amazing. I was on my own running journey this year, and watching your videos always got me fired up. I have my first marathon in January since I tore my Achilles, and I am so excited about it. Thank you for sharing a little piece of your life with all of us, can't wait to see what next year has in store!

[@sebastien.jubinville]

You are such an inspiration in my running journey Eric, you have no F***** idea!!! Keep running, keep creating and keep inspiring us!!! Let’s gooooooo!!!!

[@ZachJalteco]

Legend!🔥 Thanks for sharing your journey. As someone who is also chasing their sub 2:40 M next spring, seeing your progression feeds my belief that it’s not just possible but inexorable! 😤

[@davidlundine6438]

Ouch @ 9:00 Thanks for all the content this year, it's been a great motivation for my own progress, and also just a blast to follow along with! Looking forward to the spring sub 235 build. Hoping to get my BQ at Tokyo in March 🤞

[@davidmcquade4743]

Congrats on a great year of running! I've enjoyed watching your content through the year and will carry your advice on being patient through this upcoming year.

[@flobergruns]

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

[@griffduncan]

Great stuff and great editing man!

[@dustinwessells1716]

Always loved the vids! Currently coming back to running after a fall marathon injury but inspired to slowly build back

[@andrewhammonds4907]

Congrats on an amazing year. I feel I’m close to the tipping point you experienced and love videos like this to keep me doing the 1%’ers. This and Average Dom Slims are my favourite recap videos this year. Bring on 2024.

[@rickberkelmans9335]

Amazing running, great advice, and bonus points for your videoskills! Super inpsiring!

[@mattghills]

Hey Eric. Gotta admit mate, irrespective of your race times (which are impressive), the most impressive thing to me seems to be the training, and consistency... all whilst being a husband and a father of young children. I have two kids under 3 and did my first marathon in September last year. To be honest, and straight to the point, the amount of time and training required to really give it a good crack, drove a bit of a wedge between my wife and I (as it is a selfish endeavour at the end of the day). I'd love to see you do a video about how you make are able to train and make it work around and with the rest of your life. I'd love to do more events and training in 2024, but need to find a way of balancing it better with my family life (not to mention other areas). Thanks in advance!! Good luck for the Boston Build!!!

[@StephenJamesRheeder]

I second this!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Man, this video was so good. Inspiring, informative, but also self-deprecating. Might lace up the shoes and go out got another run today. Cheers!

[@tjwthewhitefro]

AMAZING video bro, can''t wait for 2024!

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

You have earned a subscriber sir! Getting me excited for this year!

[@PiercingArrowz]

Sir, thanks for the coaching, encouragement, and inspiration! Houston in a couple of weeks and my fitness is the best it's ever been. Chasing sub 3:20 and then a unicorn time for Boston. Be well sir.

[@runningwithaj]

I'll be rewatching this over and over purely for the Fail montage. #aja thanks for sharing. It has been great to be inspired again by a channel making great running videos. I've loved every minute of it!

[@chasewade6482]

Great job Floberg! It’s been amazing to watch your progression.

[@flobergruns]

Thanks for watching!!

[@A_SEGA_Dremcast]

The best cinematography, editing, grading, and most importantly, storytelling in the game. Hands down. Happy new year and best of luck for your next build! Keep kicking ass!

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

Love this video Eric!! Super excited for 2024!!! G1M

[@gabouel]

Truly insane progression. I have a similar history, went 3h08 in 2017 and took me 6 years to break 3 with a 2h58 in the fall of 2023. With my own work and family life i plan to go sub 2h45 in 2-3 years… excited to see how you do in 24 Flo

[@jameschaves5723]

Best videography out there 🙌🙌

[@signaturenil6984]

Floberg makes me believe I can achieve my running goals. Other KZbinrs or athletes make it seem impossible and unrealistic but floberg showcases that us mortals can achieve good things too

[@JustinOsmerIV]

Love this! It’s super encouraging because I just started running in summer and signed up for my first marathon in this upcoming February. Going from never running to now training for a marathon, it’s been frustrating with how slow I am and how high my HR goes at slow paces, just very discouraging. But I’m 6 months into running after not ever running. Just turned 36 and late to the game but I’m excited to see my progress when I’m 40 if I keep this up. Great video, got me pumped for 2024!

[@yevinn-]

Your videos always make me want to get out and run more. Thanks for making them looking forward to your Boston 2024 series!

[@andorkish]

Fantastic job all around. The most important piece from this video was committing to the process. Onto the next one.

[@lucasfranceschini7952]

Congrats, brother, and thanks for the inspiration!

[@peters1400]

Love it, and the insane editing!

[@flobergruns]

Thanks so much!!

[@relaxxin]

Hell of a year! Congrats and thanks for sharing. You do a great job of showing how much time, energy and discipline it takes to achieve big goals. Excited to see how adding strength training into your build affects your pace! Cherry Blossom // Jack and Jill // CIM 2024 LFG!

[@DattatreyaSAIKISHORE]

every new video of yours feels like breath of fresh air

[@NicolasWollesen]

Would’ve have been awesome to be in the same race (Berlin), but family always comes first! Looking forward to continue to follow the journey 🔥

[@boosted_serg3278]

Great video starting my running journey this year as of dad of 3 now I been slacking thank you for the motivation 🤙🏼

[@laurenmillyx]

There is something special in the air within the BPN family 🫣🤯 you are all smashing it!

[@joshuagrove842]

Love the videos and series. Happy new year Eric, let’s get after it in 2024. 💉❤️‍🔥

[@diegoosalas]

inspiring journey!!

[@davidmoorhouse]

Dude! Your videos always get me hyped for running. Ran my first marathon in November and already wanting to start training for another. No where near as fast as you but stoked to put in the work and hit another pr soon! Just have to deal with this plantar fasciitis... Stoked for you on being apart of the BPN team! You and Nick are built different. Keep killing it dude!

[@livbarbier8379]

Running my first marathon in 2 weeks. Just found your channel absolutely love it.

[@brydonpires5607]

About to head into my first marathon block over the next 20 weeks and just needed to see this…Eric we met at the Niagara Falls half this past October and I’ve learned a ton watching your videos and it gives me the push to embrace the process and get in shape for the marathon

[@hd-getintofinance]

Inspiring video & so well edited! Congrats

[@young-spark]

Inspiring. Your discipline is second to none.

[@chrisgatt310]

Such a good video mate. I just missed a sub 2:40 mid last year and have set an almightily high ambition of sub 2:30 in Berlin this year. Motivation is back to being high again and I’m keen to put a few blocks together and see where I land. This video is the extra kick I needed.

[@ksbluecat]

It is truly only a matter of time before your channel grows immensely, if you keep putting out the quality content you do.

[@camgregg9971]

So sick! Give the editor a raise!! 😂😂 Doing my first 70.3 this year and hoping for a 26.2 PR at the end of 2024! Thanks for keeping us motivated! So excited to see the Boston push!

[@Rayleigh-San]

Let's go Eric, I am so happy for You man, wishing You the best for 2024! I'll be racing the Berlin Marathon, my first ever marathon in september, going for a sub 3! Just recovered from an injury and had my first run today after 2 months! Thank You for inspiring me a pushing me to achive my goals.

[@flobergruns]

Go get it in Berlin!!

[@estebanarayaguzman4012]

Thank you for sharing your process, is amazing, congratulations with your sub3h and then for your amazing 2:39!! You are helping me a lot, with your knowledge and experience, I´m working on getting to Boston, not easy for me as I have been an inconsistent runner for 12 years, now is the first time I´m able to stack 2 marathon blocks and I´m excited with my current shape. I can believe how effortless some workouts feel. Definetly consistency is the name of the game. Thank you!!

[@kobadaa.952]

man you’re videos put a smile on my face! i’m shooting for a sub 3h at Tromso this year!
