[@MrTraveller.]

Big goal, lots of training ahead. Interested in following your training & journey. I’ll up my 21km runs to 30, then +42 again. Will report back

[@jogray3183]

Absolutely stomping challenge, fair play and wishing you the very best Fergus.

[@NomadeDigital]

I hate winter, the cold, the rain, the darkness, and yet, every year now, I'm hyped because in winter we get... the wintering ! This is my motivation to get out and run when I don't want to, to get uncomfortable, and to see if I can manage it, cant wait for this new series!

[@louisduffle1535]

The winter arc 😈

[@BoneThugsNL]

Love The Cold.

[@joe1071]

For real. Don’t love winter, therefore I just started a running streak since winter weather has is moving in. Don’t want to run in winter…time to start running in winter. Yesterday was cloudy, rainy, and 35 degrees. Got it done. Loving the uncomfortable challenge. It’s just what I needed

[@r-pupz7032]

I've signed up for my first ultra next year, I'm a beginner endurance runner so it's 50k - but for me, it's this huge, scary, impossible sounding, amazing thing that terrifies me and excites me and makes me feel so alive. Your channel has been a huge inspiration to me, can't wait to see you tackle this challenge! I run because of my mental health too, a decade of bereavement, addiction, depression and undiagnosed ADHD had brought me to my knees. I feel like running has given me my life back. Thank you for everything you do, so excited to see this unfold!

[@ferguscrawley95]

This is so awesome to hear! All the very best with your training and embrace that fear 🫡

[@chriscollings4775]

im 16 years old andI hate training early morning before school and especially in the winter yet you always manage to inspire me to do so mate. Ive recently been getting into endurance training in preparation for the royal marines and you have been a huge part in my journey so far fergus. Thanks a lot man you are truly the most genuine and underrated fitness influencer out there. Honestly stick at it brother!

[@jameskelly2226]

You've made me face my silence and im running 331kms this November for the 331 suicides recorded in 2022. What this has made me do is open up about my struggles of everyday life and its all because of you telling your story. Thanks fergus

[@kai9720]

Great! Go on Fergus. Keep moving and keep inspiring us. To me you are a role model. Have been running marathons and triathlons for the past 2 years on top of some Calisthenics and Martial Arts. Seeing how you perpetually challenge yourself really helps me stay on the path you know. So thanks for putting yourself out there and telling your story. Your athletic journey is pretty mindblowing already and I'm thankful for all your content. Keep up the amazing work and best of luck for this absolutly crazy challenge! P.S. subscribed to the newsletter, good stuff

[@harryblack8686]

How have you only got 91k followers? Content is fantastic mate and the challenges you have undertaken are mind-blowing. All the best for your future endeavours 💪🏼👍🏼

[@bertiebriffa3388]

Literally my favourite youtube channel. Started watching 2 months ago and so far I have run 300km, increased my strenght in the gym and have been on a self-development which I am extrememly proud of. And I even got my bodybuilding friend to join hybrid training with me. Thank you Fergus for all your content, I really look forward to it.

[@acasualviewer103]

Every time I watch one of your videos I'm amazed as to how you don't have at least a million subscribers. Not only are the videos incredibly high quality/production value, they are inspiring and informative. Hope more people find this channel❤

[@CodyBunker]

The past 3 years I've followed you, the wintering series has been my favorite. I love winter. The cold, the wind everything about it makes me feel peaceful

[@birdiex10]

I never ever comment but can I just say your film making is insane, felt like I was watching a documentary! The shots you get are amazing, can’t wait for the rest of the wintering!

[@stacked_tri]

can't wait to follow this journey. Seeing how you tackle the day to day training is super interesting to me as I consider doing ultramarathons sometime in my future.

[@khanager2814]

Can't believe I've just found your channel. Watched the last few videos and really enjoyed this one. Good on you Fergus, you're a legend and an inspiration mate. I've been in a really rough spot, almost flunked out of college after holding a 4.0GPA for 3 years in a law degree, and a few years ago completed a 100km orienteering race with about 2.5km of elevation throughout. Been inspired by this video, planning to get back into running and have signed up for a marathon in April 2024 with hopes to do an Iron Man in the future. Thanks for being so honest and raw - keep it up mate.

[@poppyfailes1971]

And just when I think you can’t get any cooler. So excited to follow this journey, especially through these winter months where it is no secret we all struggle more mentally, some are victims to this more than others, but journeys like this are instant reminders that we can do it. CANT believe you could receive any hatred about anything you do but thus the world we live in😂😃 we’ll be supporting you no matter what!!

[@maddiesmith9924]

What you have done and continue to do is just absolutely incredible. No words. All the best, we’re all following and supporting along the way!

[@Eightfathorses]

In 2021 I ran my first half marathon and was due to do my first full in 2022 followers by an ultra. Sadly I was then diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer and had to go into treatment. I’m now due to run that same half next April with a view to achieving my dream endurance race of 55 miles. My mental health has really struggled but having something booked to work towards my dream will get me out this winter.

[@valhalla_dev]

I used to be one of the "powerlifter that hates running" types and started watching your channel. I realized I didn't hate running because I hated running, I hated running because I was bad at it and was afraid of doing something hard. So I started running and am doing my first half marathon in a month. After that, my second powerlifting competition next year and then, as long as I stay healthy, a marathon or longer after. I did and am doing the hard work, but you inspired me to start. Thank you

[@Mapletime]

So excited to follow this preparation, currently having a super rainy stretch and turned back the clocks resulting in the shortest two months of our year here in the northern United States. Taking time to be intentional and plan what I want my wintering to look like. Will be jumping in the lake this week and start ramping up strength training and cycling in preparation for some long ski days in the mountains. Proud of you man, stay strong and spirited!

[@Balintrebeka]

This was the very first video of yours that I saw..and there is no question whether I'll follow you or not. The passion you talk with, things you are doing and the way you are doing seems truly inspirational. All the best for the Big day(s)!!

[@ryanconroy3260]

Well done you Furgus, I turn to you for your simple but direct talks and it helps me dig deep and fight my mental Battles whilst training and becoming a better Human. Thank you

[@andrewkirkhouse4693]

ive been following your trials and challenges for a few years now and i find your inspiration and outlook something that is worth listening to and feel that due to your motivation/inspiration that its given me and probably others fergus the kick to keep going and continue our own challenges as far as we can take them despite the fear and negativity that is sometimes said or presumed by others. i would wish you the very best for this particular challenge and by damn youll do it. good luck in your training and ultimate goal.

[@SubhamDas-rc4hq]

Hope you succeed

[@hughdavies5209]

So excited for this series. Like many other in these comments, you've been a massive inspiration to me and catalyst to me pushing myself further out of my comfort zone. Fully believe you'll be succesful in your latest endeavour

[@shreyanssanghrajka6376]

One of the greatest and most underrated KZbinrs and one of the best 'hybrid athletes' out there

[@tomlast2277]

Signed up! This is what got me interested in you and your channel, the endurance side of things, the double brutal. I'm so excited you've come back to it! Love the wintering series too. All the best with the training 💪🏻

[@19Kamau79]

Such a strong and powerful speech, no matter whatever happen you're definitely on the right path..

[@ThorErikTikand]

Just wanted to thank you! Your content, your way of thinking and attitude towards life and difficulties is giving me the little extra mental strenght that is needed to keep going when things get tough. You are an inspiration! May your journey be... whatever it will be. A leap into the unknown is going to be exciting and full lessons to be learned! U r the man!

[@chriszavos22]

Amazing!!! Enjoy the whole journey

[@thesea4120]

You know what's funny, is that I'm watching this after my morning swim today and I've decided that I'm swimming the channel within the next 3 years! It's been in the back of my mind for a while but today I've decided it's going to happen!

[@movemorenowjames]

Epic stuff - well done for simply everything !! Great plan for a great reason…

[@jayemsee5421]

You are a tough man Fergus. I walked the WHW a few years ago (admittedly with a 20kg back pack) and there were bits in there that made me want to cry - in a bad way! Haha! Your sticks are gonna get some good use! Can't wait to see your progress. All the best with your training!

[@petersilk3934]

Go and smash it, excited to see this journey!!!!

[@lakota_stu]

Good luck, im sure you’ll smash this. Looking forward to watching your journey 💪

[@Mulder7]

Fergus, just listening to the why, it made me cry. I'm where you were at in 2014 and I feel my only real out is exercise. Watching you tackle the double brutal was inspirational to say the least. I wish you luck for the 250km

[@hughdavies5209]

How are you doing brother? It's a hard time when the dark cloud of depression comes knocking but it's fantastic that you've identified exercise as a way to manage it. Keep going

[@raven-19x]

Love the channel and goodluck!

[@davejemo]

Been a while since commenting on one of your videos Fergus, but I feel absolutely compelled this morning - what an inspiring gentleman you are! And as an Irishman, i approve of your choice of reward pint wholeheartedly 😄 Can't wait to watch this journey.

[@deggers1st]

This shit gets me pumped! Great challenge, go on Fergus lad

[@bradfreeman8149]

Inspiration Fergus!!! The way you try regardless of potential outcomes, is why you are crushing it. We all can learn from this. All the best 😊

[@TeaAndTunes]

Outstanding big man, I’ll always admire your drive into uncertainty. Looking forward to helping if we can 🤙🏻

[@neila6474]

A great guy for you to chat to is Woody Felton. He ran the 212 mile Race Across Scotland. Then tuned around and ran back the same route! A truly inspirational guy.

[@MattyHalloween]

Fergus… you’re such an inspiration. Obviously your physical challenges are impressive but I continue to be inspired by your vulnerability with your past battles with mental health. It’s an important topic; certainly one I struggle with… and probably always will. But the lessons learned from the physical challenges and journey to those achievements have definitely helped with my internal woes. Thx again!!!

[@julieburton7393]

The clocks will change that weekend, great way to start British summer time!

[@TheOnlyAzrr]

I’m trying to convince myself to take part in the “fan dance” endurance event next summer over the breacon beacons. Never done an endurance event before but i’m going to give it a go.

[@zacleng7805]

In the immortal words of Frank Herbert - "Fear is the mind killer. It is the little death of all things. I will permit my fear to pass over me, and when it is gone, only I will remain." I go running before work and in the winter it's dark and cold and wet and it's intimidating to face whenever I get up. Watching your videos motivates me to get up in the morning and improve myself. I'm looking forward to this series of the wintering. I hope your training goes well and you can smash the challenge.

[@zaharievwork7455]

sounds massive! Good luck!

Absolute madness surely?!? Best of luck Fergus, can't wait to see you smash it.

[@joshwaa8500]

Fergus you are mad man, also a freaking legend ! Smash it !

[@gageadavis]

Hey Fergus, look forward to following your journey, you're going to smash it!! I would recommend doing a two-camera set up if you want that aesthetically pleasing side shot. Using purely the side shot where you never engage with the camera, means it feels like you never engage with your audience. It feels like we as a viewer are watching a conversation we are not part off which can be pretty off-putting and unengaging for your audience, meaning people are more likely to switch off and not watch/continue the video. Just an idea, again really looking forward to following your adventure, good luck!

[@davesslowgt]

Awesome route. Enjoy it
