I Ran Across Korea in 10 Days | 300 Miles

This is more than just another run, this is more than 10 marathons in 10 days, this is more than all of that. This is a culture homecoming and the journey along the way. I ran 300 miles from Seoul, South Korea, along the Four Rivers Trail to Busan. This is my journey.

Running isn't just a physical activity; it's a journey that leads to self-discovery and growth. Every step you take, every mile you conquer, is a testament to your strength and determination. Remember, every run, no matter how small, is a step closer to the best version of yourself. What a motivation Matt!!!

[@unfilteredwithvarun]

It's a form of meditation for people who are into it

[@St.scotto]

😂😂😂calm down 😂😂😂

[@ezekieljsum]

@@St.scotto haha right? Fella wants attention 😅

[@ezekieljsum]

@@justinyeom1828 at the end of the day, we are here to motivate one another and not put one another down 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

Matt, I've teared up multiple times watching this. You and the entire team/community did an incredible job, and it's super special that you got to share this with the world, thereby inspiring many others, including myself. You rock!

[@amihcmedia]

Man. This is inspiring. Makes me want to go run right now. Awesome video Matt!

[@saucyfryingpan]

This was amazing, absolutely inspiring. Keep up the good ish.

[@vacationmode6286]

Nice job!! very impressive loved seeing the support of other runners coming out to run with you such an inspiration.

[@jonathonfreelove5321]

This was epic appreciate you for filming and sharing this journey

[@andrewkim1305]

As a Korean runner, you’re an inspiration

[@the987abc]

Your slowest day is my regular marathon pace,just fir perspective 😅 Respect to you and your team!!!

[@bimoanindya1577]

Congratulations Matt!! Awesome. Keep inspiring people!!

[@SheckMulbah]

Definitely one of my favorite videos of the year! Amazing grit and determination Matt!

[@Christian_Jara]

Great video Matt, I also came to the United States when young with my parents, now at 48 with 7 marathons (I saw you in NYC last November) I'm an American by choice I love the US with all my heart but I also love my birth country equally. Neither are perfect but I wouldn't have it any other way. We'll never fully fit the American or Foreing mold but that's what makes us who we are... your mental strenght comes from the struggles from the past and I'm glad you are able to share it with all us. Hope your foot is better.

[@Deiefe]

So cool Matt! You’re so authentic and humble. It’s amazing what you achieved and how you gave everyone helping you along the way the proper time in front of the camera. Respect! 🙌

[@JasonTrott1]

Inspiring. Congrats on the journey man.

[@alfdickinson1971]

Excellent message-absolutely inspirational! Great work Team Choi!

[@jinkyuchung]

Matt. Your journey was very inspiring to me. Keep going.

[@motivationtheoryrunning]

Great Job....love this. As I have evolved as a runner shifted my focus and transitioned into Ultra Running 10 years...I look at running as a journey, a time and place to escape and be in the moment with myself and others who chose to suffer, discover and grow in similar ways. I will never remember the "finish time" I will remember the time spent with friends and people I meet along the way.

[@otnielantezana8073]

Hell yeah Matt, you are the MAN. This documentary/accomplishment/run/ was EPIC. You did so much more than just run, loved this so much. I hope you have a speedy recovery brother. Let’s fucking go!!!

[@manniezubia]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You were one of my first social media running influencers I started following over a year ago. Your strength and determination has helped guide me to never give up. As a recreational runner now at 46 and training for my first half thank you for everything you have ever shared to help keep people inspired. Kamsahamnida❤

[@tylerrover8091]

Congrats, Matt, and team. Tremendous accomplishment and production quality. Hope to catch you in Atlanta soon.

[@youngseokju]

Yo, Matt! This is a masterpiece! When I heard your plan while we were in Berlin, I sensed that a little of uncertainty from you (I guess you haven’t been in Korea for a long long time) but it turned out as one amazing documentary film!! This film is MORE THAN RUNNING and that’s exactly what we running for. Congrats!

[@Travelwithphilip]

Matt your energy is contagious. Love it! You’ve inspired me to one day run across Cambodia after watching this. I felt the same way the first time going to my parents homeland. Hopefully our paths run into each other one day at a marathon.

[@stayhydrated1739]

I like your Longer videos,i really enjoyed this one,also very inspiring Keep it up man 🤙🏻

[@bckim90]

Damn. This was awesome. As someone who loved to run but had to stop due to health reasons and as a Korean.. this was so great to see. Thanks for sharing. Got to live vicariously through you.

[@MattShubert]

[@cashmoney8672]

Amazing feat hyung, loved ur videos

[@OpinionatedMedia]

Legendary video. Needs to go down in history

[@jvfitnesstraining7089]

This one is a brutal challenge. Really inspiring.

[@nolanfstandifer]

Awesome dude ✊🏽✊🏽

[@millsmcqueen]

you are brilliant, my friend.

[@pavan20100611]

Great video mate. Loved it. It’s always mind over body isn’t it? Well done. What is the other watch you are using? Samsung? Or Garmin Venu??

[@someusername789]

Very nice, well done. Korea is an awesome country for cross country activities. I've done that route on a bike a couple of times, and have wondered what it would be like to run it. Then I dismissed the idea as madness. You've proved me wrong! Next you should try running the east coast, from the DMZ to Busan. That's a real monster!

[@ericvault]

Soo good brother! 👍🏻

[@saumiakurien5439]

Yasss my homie Anthony Choi and just the Choi bros as a whole!⚡️Your whole team is amazing Matt! 💫 Way to get it done despite the challenges and doubt! 👏🏽 loved seeing JK’s show out- glad he was able to meet you and run with you after his persistent efforts to reach out to you! Overall, an awesome cultural homecoming reflection Matt 🇺🇸 🇰🇷

[@bobbbaaaay]

[@WorldT]

well done thanks for sharing. South Korea is a great country, visited it once, would be cool to do a run there as well.

[@vijayeaswar9502]

Legend 🔥

[@sooyungo]

Man this is actually the craziest fear that you have accomplished can’t help but feel proud of you bruv! Shout outs to your team and ol mate JK! GOOOOOD SHIT! ❤❤

[@laughinglats]

Matt is a Korean version of David Goggins. What an inspiring journey. I love running more after watching this. It’s amazing to see how running can unite people, improve resiliency, and make team look at the same goal. Please keep creating this kind of contents.

[@damiensohma]

Korean Forest gump. Love it 😂

[@AustinsWCS]

[@michaelmaldonado9914]

I am very impressed, considering you were having issues with your Achilles

[@spencerji6162]

I can felt your pain

[@andreaprice1677]

I am planning a trip to Korea, and I would love to see a large portion of it. Would you be willing to share the running path you took from Seuol to Butan?

[@zzinkang99]

화이팅 🔥🔥🔥🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

[@ismistarick70]

Hel yeah, brother.

[@tly7486]

You should have taken the Train to Busan. The only hick is that you have to fight waves of zombies if you are up for the challenge. Congratulations for the journey.

[@pickelbarrelofficial1256]

stand up if you love the korea

[@Pshpshpshpshpshpshpsh]

40:57 epitome cool Korean guy right here. 😆

[@cocopoco2006]

You are inspiring me to do that trail…. 😮 most likely on a bike

[@stevenyoo1436]

I was going to take a rest day but then I watched this video

[@user-cx7wf4xv6x]

If you're 27 and went to Korea at 7, that's only 20 years ago. S. Korea was pretty developed back then too. 😂 But I know what you mean. Welcome, bro. You have great stuff, and it was a lot of fun watching. If only I could run like you. I've only been doing 10Ks, hoping to get farther and faster in the future. BTW, It's Mungyeong and Sangju at 23:30! Just tiny typos!

[@brandonfaus2380]

What was your shoe lineup for this journey?

[@Green6Lantern]

Is possible to get back to normal running schedule after dealing with plantar fasciitis. Would really appreciate feedback 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@CrushedTiger]

I'm a 7th grade cross country runner and I was wondering wether I should get my foot scanned?

[@wicked37]

You made me buy The daily stoic😅

[@kindsshorts2290]

I wish I had a good body in strength or stamina can you give the best gym workouts for athletes Note : work out spilt like Monday to Saturday
