Every runner has a story. I hope you keep documenting such stories. Hands down, the best part was at 12:52. Clever editing and song choice for that clip.

[@jimoconnor8597]

Really liked it! Fun to watch regular people on their quest for running goals! Kuddos to both young ladies for sharing their stories and motivating others along the way.

[@AaronKohZH]

Boston Marathon, a marathon worthy of its own documentary. Thanks JM. You have definitely put in a lot of thoughts and hard work into this production. Hope to see more of your production in the future. Cheers.

[@Drewb18c1]

Really fun stuff! I've wanted to see this kind of video for a while! It's fun seeing ordinary runners and their stories in a well shot and edited format.

[@jeppjohnboy]

Enjoyed every minute & thanks everyone for sharing. I'm inspired & will drop by Texas Running Company whenever I'm down in A Town.

[@guitarro1972]

Nice job! Very well done. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@michaelforras]

Brother, your shoe review videos are amazing and when I saw that you made this documentary I had to check it out; it did not disappoint! Very well done!

[@christybuhr]

That was a fun watch! Congrats Lauren and good luck to Amanda!

[@gabegd23]

Great vid, Jamison. Can't wait for the next one.

[@siemerssteve]

Really enjoyed this documentary. "Running and Hip Hop expert" made me laugh out loud, though :d

[@varietylife6847]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@fitzy1874]

Well done! I really enjoyed watching this

[@TheMoifel]

Loved it! You should make more documentaries like this!

[@jlugue25]

The soundtrack for this is lit man! Great work!

[@ryanfabia]

This vid is really inspiring! Its been months since I started running but not in a marathon level. Gotta keep training though...

[@mrrandom2501]

Very motivational.. Thanks for sharing your story ladies

[@blackbeanburger3357]

amazing work! if i could be suggestive of anything i felt the music was a bit out of place at certain points, but the stories/motive of this was really nice. too much of the time stories follow the elite/sponsored athletes looking to podium... a documentary like this can appeal to anyone at all levels. love it

[@ronpopeil7]

Really nice video, congrats. Congrats to them (and you) for finishing the race (and the documentary)!

[@firefox2023]

Loved it....everyday women with lives doing what they can for the love of running!

[@maggie0285]

Both are excellent runners doing what they love! That's all that matters!

[@anthonysantoro8169]

#marybethornah I should be studying right now Jami thanks for uploading a 30 min video

[@jrelyea]

This was a pretty cool video. It shows how hard you have to train and still nothing is guaranteed on race day. Good luck to Amanda, hopefully she will qualify at NY.

[@MauricioY_]

Nice !!! Loved this video. ..

[@ScottBalkum]

Wow man! You told a GREAT STORY! I can't wait to see your next short film. For those who don't know how much work goes into these, Jami, Amanda and Lauren put in an incredible amount of time making this. To finish a film is an accomplishment. To finish a film with a great story is everything! Awesome man...... awesome. Lauren and Amanda - You two are rock stars!

[@JamisonMichael]

amanda and Lauren are okay I guesss...thanks

[@JamisonMichael]

This was about a 6-month project, So I would appreciate any SHARES on the IG/twitter/facebook if you can help your boy out! This whole project was something different that I wanted to try, dont worry I'm still doing reviews and rants lol Be sure to subscribe, Join the Patreon if you can, and as always...keep it tight. #MaryBethOrNah

[@TheRedDevils_78]

Jamison Michael how did amanda get on at NYC can’t find her in the results

[@utah1man]

nice video and great music congrats ladies!

[@FTStratLP]

Whoa, I feel really good that I have subscribed, because I couldn't imagine a life without running!

[@FTStratLP]

And I love this video!

[@swissmissdemeaner]

Congrats Lauren & her bearded beau on their engagement. Hope to see you at Boston 2019!

[@davideonsimmons1150]

Great video and great music💯

[@blackwatch_TV]

Brilliant editing, smooth and dynamic cinematography

[@JamisonMichael]

Thanks

[@geroboy72]

loved the video.

[@NathanN527]

You did a great job for a 30 min doc (which is a huge constraint). Wish I could've "connected" more with the runners.....but I dont think that has anything to do with how you put this together, more a personality thing. I didnt feel the passion, excitement, and disappointment as much as I was wanting. Keep up the good work!

[@JamisonMichael]

Nathan N yeah I agree. That was my goal, and why I kept holding it off, but I had so many set backs. Lost a lot of footage due to corrupted SD cards, a failed HDD, and time constraints of being able to schedule times to get details. Eventually my friend Scott (who helped me) said to just put it out and do better on the next project. Thanks for your critique. I rather hear constructive criticism than...”this sucks” lol

[@smalls26.2]

Good stuff my guy!!

[@rocketrunner4381]

Great video. Nice one.

[@backstraps4me]

Great video! I'm on the same journey.

[@jouievillanueva6761]

Wow! For me, their marathon times was fast! My first full marathon was 5 hours & 23 minutes,haha! But I am not ashamed, I'm proud of it! 😁 great documentary!

[@GreatCoveRunningTV]

Any marathon finish is something to be proud of. In fact, doing the work to get to the starting line of one is a feat in itself!

[@joshmatthew4125]

What a great experience.

[@runknitkalie]

#marybethornah great video. Motivates me for finishing my first marathon.

[@kithnou]

Congrats! Awesome from all involved. :) Oh and #MaryBethOrNah 👍

[@ShamirDasgupta]

Great job! The Spirit of Marathon could use a update...

[@thrash123ful]

Solid work man send this thing to Sundance!!!

[@royalty-.-7719]

Wait did y’all find her because I didn’t watch the whole thing gotta go to track but yeah great vid I feel so bad she didn’t make it

[@GordonChristie]

i was fortunate that after my slowest houston marathon this year i did Tokyo in 3:14. my training is just getting underway for my 10th boston. if i can drop the 30lbs i need this summer that would put me in a great starting point :)

[@GordonChristie]

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SNg7F_UW5V7IvTLnPUnzJ391Heg7HwLS25uVvPv9UfU working on compiling all my race times in one spreadsheet :)

[@royalty-.-7719]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@hyeary1]

Great stories! So how did Lauren do in Boston?

[@tubeamig]

video inscripcion boston maraton online plis

[@arquitetura.urbanismo]

#MaryBethorNah great doc film Jami! Love it. The interview parts could have some better sound (better mic) and maybe some soundtrack in the background. Just trying to be annoying...

[@alikhan2575]

How did you prevent shin splints thats the only thing holding me back?

[@TheMajink]

#marybethornah Holy shit that was awesome, I can’t believe you still only have 10000 subs, you deserve way more for the amount of effort you put into these considering you don’t have that many subs

[@InkaOutdoorsTV]

#marybethornah hey bro I think you did a great! I was waiting for this to drop! It was fun watching! Keep the channel lit and unique to what you like. I would like to get you opinion on running tips, maybe gear review. Anyhow cool video!

[@JamisonMichael]

Thanks! I really want to do more gear reviews. im working on a few things now, just trying make it a bit more creative (format wise) to make it different than a "normal" gear review.

[@walkonwaterwalkon]

This is really great work man! Clearly an investment of emotion, energy and time, but if you could create content of this level on even an 18 month basis, it would be superb...

[@trevormcilroy]

So how did Amanda do in New York?

[@x3i4n]

its insane how the qualifier times are easier for girls. 30 mins difference. Still a great thing to qualify, it's just so hard for guys lol

[@MichaelRockfez]

Great documentary, although it could be better imo. Amazing first Jami 👍🏼

[@JamisonMichael]

Michael Chan agreed. It’s the best I could do with what I had. I almost didn’t put it out. Lol

[@nickatnite16]

Jamison Michael Good doc ! Hope to see more running docs from you in the future.. Houston course looks relatively flat.if so,good choice to use that marathon as a BQ

[@stevestarr9769]

Fantastic job dude! But...I will second the sentiment that some of the music you used doesn't fit these two girls. And I GOTTA get my arse to Austin.....what a great place to run!

[@teddy1234599]

Mostly on training runs I've run the equivalent of 10,000 marathons (26.21875 miles) or over 262,200 miles / 422,000 kilometers (including 4 separate years of 10,000 miles each. I also "fun ran" the Boston Marathon in 1980 (the year of Rosie Ruiz, the super-cheat). I didn't qualify that year but was in the area; other years I qualified but was too far away (and not enough $). I never really care who wins a marathon; but instead just hope for a very fast and large lead pack out past 20 miles. A SUGGESTION: Why not list in the "Notes" section the date and time of day of the race?

[@hiIMbeau]

Girl is about as excited about her engagement as I am about my dentist appointment tomorrow!

[@JamisonMichael]

😆 Facts

[@SM-tq6xc]

Was thinking the same 💀

[@valdeaunia]

Wow thanks for the shoutout at the end (j/k 😂) #MaryBethOrNah

[@tmaisdezwaar3214]

this is the finished product .? I am gonna share this..., dope stuff everyone involved..

[@JamisonMichael]

tmais de zwaar thanks! Yes it’s the finished product! I might do a extended edition or maybe a commentary (have almost 7hrs of footage)

[@kurokamei]

Which garmun model is that at 1:13?

[@Carlosediaz543]

235

[@brettbale9535]

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?

[@JamisonMichael]

$1/hr

[@underconstruction8404]

Should be studying, but came across this and #marybethornah

[@Flyinclutchman206]

Love the Kevin gates song😎

[@jacopocarboncini5712]

💣💣💣

[@TwangoDoom]

I didn't cry, that was you crying. #marybethornah

#MaryBethOrNah Congratulations on this marathon! That's a good personal documentary, I think both of them did a good job of training and I can't know how well they ran, but I could notice a few mistakes in the pre-race. I think eating spicy mac&cheese with bacon before a race, wearing a long sleeve shirt underneath and using new shoelaces for the first time in a race are not the best ideas. I don't want to sound like a hater, but I think we all always have a lot to improve (me too).

[@Amanda.c91]

we need to inject some EMOTION AND PERSONALITY IN TO THESE GIRLS OMG

[@bomodderman9546]

cool video, why weren't they running in Nike vapormax's, hehehe, just kidding

[@lichin11]

It might be a little late to qualify for Boston Marathon 208.

[@JamisonMichael]

lol Thanks, I was being trolled by my friends a couple days ago. They did a bunch of little things to my account. I think i caught most of them, not this one. They un-privated videos, changed my name to Jamison Michelle, and were commenting to people with kissy emojis. lol

[@lichin11]

Seriously...this is a very entertaining video, thanks for posting it!

[@edgar344]

I hope the warning was a joke.😐

[@JamisonMichael]

Edgar M. Its very serious.

[@raddoc1993]

Awesome documentary! I would just recommend to these hard working athletes and other dedicated runners that nutrition is just as important as training is and bacon Mac n’ cheese is not going to do your body any favors! Plant-based is the way to go! Keep it up!

[@onkeltorNOR]

Agreed, switched to plant-based myself to try it out about a year ago, and my recovery-time has plummeted. Not looking back! Go green, runners!

[@walt350z]

Bacon mac n cheese is life doe

[@adewalekadiri]

Balance is everything. I need my meet!

[@surunner455]

Zac better keep his beard.

[@pewishjrivilege896]

Homeboy music very annoying

[@guest00791]

Considering she just got frosted 💍 her heart rate was pretty low 📉🤷‍♀️

[@polski1986]

Terrible music choice..
