hope you do not tire of these runner's weekend vlogs anytime soon

[@kofuzi]

they are my favorite kind of video to make right now

[@jmac13131]

Ran a sub 21 minute 5k time trial this morning for a new PB! Living in North Alabama I plan to run the Peachtree next year. My son had a horse riding accident 9 years ago and spent the summer rehabbing in the Shepherd Center so it will be almost 10 years to the day when he was there. I didn’t realize this race ran past the Shepherd Center until I watched some of the footage on the Atlanta news station. It will be a very emotional race and I will want to do the best I can because I know exactly how hard those kids are working to get back to back to living normal lives. If you go back, I would suggest visiting the Shepherd Center because it is such an amazing place.

[@kofuzi]

I didn’t know that the patients would be out in the course to cheer us on. It was inspiring for me, even as someone who didn’t have a prior connection to the place

[@ryanmiskin8925]

Congrats on the PB! I took just barely broke 21min on the 4th, on my mission to sub 20min by the end of the year. Do you have a similar goal by the end of 2023?

[@betteryetjet]

Running this for the first time next week and this video got me even more excited about it!

[@samsung40_media87]

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

We did a lot of stuff this weekend. Thanks for visiting!

[@kofuzi]

Thanks so much for hosting me and making the weekend so much fun!

[@kofuzi]

[@vcuteverything]

Born and raised in Atlanta, it's such a nostalgia trip watching this video now that I've left. Love getting to watch and experience the race through you.

[@kofuzi]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@arethahill9537]

You were in my city-can’t believe I missed you! Your videos were so helpful for me when I was training for my first marathon-Chicago Marathon 2022.

[@jozefberes250]

I wish you can be on even more races love this type of videos😊

[@kofuzi]

Race directors: my DMs are open

[@danyjy8981]

I love these runners weekend videos man

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much. I enjoy making this type of video

[@kevinboyle5468]

You are awesome! I love watching your videos, and at 34 years old and not having run since high school (15+ years ago), you are one of my main inspirations for getting back into running after a long hiatus. Thank you for all you do!

[@kofuzi]

its a great time to return to running!

[@tgibridays]

Oh man. That opening brought me back. I lived in Cumming for a few years up until 2020 and I got into running on the Big Creek greenway. I miss those trails. I'm in Charlotte now, but my love of running was born on those trails and on Sawnee mountain a few minutes north.

[@kofuzi]

it's such a great place to run

[@ethannewman6617]

You should do the Rock N’ Roll marathon in Nashville this year, immaculate vibes and live music all over

[@brunooliveira1597]

the great Kofuzi! thank you Sir!

[@RunnerWil]

[@kofuzi]

Thanks Wil!

Yo go Ko! Great Vid. Always wondered about this race. Looks awesome.

[@kofuzi]

Very fun to run this one

[@Run_Farah_Run]

What a cool race! Love that peaches are incorporated in there too.

[@kofuzi]

it would be a letdown without them

[@OmaRuns67]

Can’t wait to run this next year!! Another great video!

[@kofuzi]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@allenisarunner]

I just registered for this years PRR. It m really excited. My dad ran Peachtree for several years when I was very young. I will probably watch this video 20 more times before July. I love your Runners Weekend videos. Thanks and take care.

[@kofuzi]

Have a great race!

[@der_sascha]

Nice Video! Thank your for sharing your experince with us.

[@kofuzi]

[@raymart86]

Congrats on a great race! Thx for such a fabulous recap of the weekend. Looks like it was a blast!

[@kofuzi]

Highly recommend

[@charlesmorton6884]

Love your videos! Think ATL is hot and humid, come down to Savannah, GA. Wish we had bigger local races. I enjoy the running community that you have built. Keep up the good work.

[@kylepatton3346]

Looks like a blast Ko! Glad you enjoyed Big Creek, I try to get out there on the weekends, such a fun flat course for running easy and putting down miles. I haven't ran since Adidas became the title sponsor for ATC, looks like they put a ton of money into the expo. Hope you make it back sometime! We also have some great trail races and ultra in the north GA mountains!

[@kofuzi]

The greenway system is quite impressive

[@CarsWithCory]

Have to catch you next time your in ATL!

[@wenkrush]

These runner's weekend vlogs are some of the best content on KZbin. Your editing, the music, and most of all, your real emotion makes them great. Thank you for putting in the effort both on the road and on the computer.

[@kofuzi]

[@mattloughman]

Crazy to watch this and know exactly where you are, step for step. I’m on that greenway multiple times a week. Great vid!

[@kofuzi]

What a great place to have as a regular route

[@jorgeroca6224]

Thanks for the video Kofuzi, loved seeing the Big Creek Greenway.

[@kofuzi]

A great place to run

[@gFunky25]

The Like button for the hat sequence alone. :)

[@yohankusuma5510]

Been waiting for a new vid all week ❤

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for your patience!

[@rjjalaparthi545]

It was nice meeting you in Marta train on the way to the race!! Loved this video. More power to you 👏

[@kofuzi]

Nice to meet you too!

[@Miketheswerunner]

Amazing one ☝️

[@kofuzi]

thanks!

[@Arif_Run4Life]

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for showing everyone how fun the Peachtree 10K is and how we celebrate July 4th in the South. Also, thanks for including snippets of me in the video. Next time you are in town we need to get you some Southern-style BBQ and Bean Pie.

[@kofuzi]

I have no idea what Bean Pie is but I want it

[@Arif_Run4Life]

@kofuzi Pie made with beans. Doesn't sound savory, but it's really good. Next time you are in town, bean pie on me.

[@Sid1621]

Great video. I’ve ran PRR twice and this took me right back! I wasn’t moving as fast as you guys though - ha ha. Great running community there in ATL!

[@Sid1621]

BTW, love your camera work!!!

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for watching!

[@jrqberry]

Great work! It was humid that morning and those hills from 3 - 5.5 are no joke!

[@kofuzi]

so hilly

[@patrickwarren3208]

Been running on the Big Creek Greenway for years. Where I found my love for running! So nice

[@kofuzi]

What a great place to become a runner

[@johnsmithoninsta]

Runners weekend videos are the best 🙂

[@kofuzi]

Thanks!!!

[@addieanderson2411]

Let's go! The PRR is one of the greatest races! Hilly and tough but rewarding and an awesome community. I was wave A and finished just a bit after you I think! Congrats.

[@kofuzi]

great job!

[@leonaleewong]

❤ traveling with you virtually on these runner weekends. 60k participants and that barefoot runner😮 always appreciate everything you do to inspire the running community, Mike!!

[@kofuzi]

Thanks Leona!

[@DeividValdez]

Nice!

[@camilotroncoso6793]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Video. It was a pleasure having you in the city. LFGOOOOOO‼️🦾🦾🦾🫡🫡

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for the hospitality!

[@FordyRuns]

ah man this looks banging... *adds to must run list

[@kofuzi]

a lot of fun

[@shannonsides6017]

Gahhhhhhh seeing the Olympic Rings and the expo center brought me back to the 2020 trials and how much fun the energy was there. You really capture the essence of what we love about racing. Well done, cheers!

[@kofuzi]

the 2020 trials was a great moment in running

[@LuisBecerra79]

Yo, what’s going on!!! 😮 really big race. Glad you had a great time 👍🏼

[@kofuzi]

Yo Luis!

[@jaysingh05]

Nice! great run in the great running city Kofuzi! Good times 😆

[@kofuzi]

Thanks! 😄

[@moyolenovo3914]

Good job Kofuzi.

[@kofuzi]

Thank you 🙏

[@tomtigermc]

Great recap as usual Cousin Ko! Man Definitely something to think about mapping out a plan to run that course! Lots of ouzza consumption that weekend there 😅

[@kofuzi]

Oh for real?

[@billeva8457]

I love your race weekend videos! They give us the best kind of FOMO vibes. Also that Adidas singlet looks so nice and thin. I tried to find in on their website but must be a limited edition 💁

[@kofuzi]

The singlet kinda seemed a bit stiff and perhaps scratchy when I picked it up at the expo (almost like it had gotten starched at the dry cleaner). But it was great to race in. No issues at all

[@wilfredo-teyrosalesfotos]

Great job coming down south and enjoy some of the heat. Hopefully one day you can make it to the Crescent City Classic!

[@kofuzi]

I've heard good things

[@cinthiar5718]

Loved this! Next summer, maybe a runner's weekend to Alaska? Not a lot of people racing but there's a good chance of siding up to a moose or black bear.

[@kofuzi]

Mount Marathon has always piqued my interest

[@weslleycordeiro]

Let’s goooooo! It was nice meeting you in person bro! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@kofuzi]

Nice to meet you, too!

[@runningwithaj]

I love my Fractel Legionnaires hat #protectyourneck

[@VideoGuyMan7]

So glad I was able to talk to you and appear on camera a few times this past weekend! Keep on keeping on!

[@kofuzi]

Glad to talk to you too!

[@NinjaMonkeyPrime]

Dang that does look hot and humid as you'd expect. The post race finish reminds me of Falmouth.

[@kofuzi]

similar summer fun energy

[@Clwcch]

Nice video capture of the weekend/holiday! Done peachtree 13 times before retiring from the road racing. That second big hill at about 4.7-5.3 mi. mark is the one that gets you. You got to try the trail race scene here in Ga. just do it between Oct.- March so don't lose pace in the heat!

[@Deadbuck73]

Yo! Awesome run and awesome recap! 🍑

[@kofuzi]

Thanks DB!

[@davidernst5708]

It was great seeing you in Atlanta and it was an honor to run with you at the shakeout!

[@kofuzi]

Great to run with you!

[@zaxeZra]

As I was running the Peachtree this year, I thought to myself "I wonder if Kofuzi is running the Peachtree? That would be cool!".... and here we are! Bummed I didn't get to see you, but glad you had a great time in our wonderful city!

[@kofuzi]

Too bad we didn’t connect. Hopefully sometime soon!

[@WhatMatterstoMatt]

Great race!! Important question 🙋‍♂️ what was the food/pizza thing @3:13 in the video?

[@tgarcia615]

Nice one Idol..

[@kofuzi]

Thank you 🙏

[@rickballard386]

Glad you made it down. Sorry I missed you. Try to run every year. Knee let me down last year. Love your videos and reviews.

[@kofuzi]

Hope the knee gets better quickly!

[@rickballard386]

Hopefully since I have my new bionic knee.

[@sun.2801]

Looking sharp in the caped hat!

[@kofuzi]

It’s growing on me

[@maxheaberlin8013]

Shout out that ac repair man, really saved us there! Glad you enjoyed your time in running city USA, we promise it's not always that hot. Hopefully get to run with you next time!

[@kofuzi]

It would have been a very different night without that man

[@swiftcolin]

The hats lol

[@kofuzi]

I love them

[@itsnotharry]

oh its dhash! I joined him on his perimeter run. Did like 15 miles with them before dropping out and going home.

[@kofuzi]

He’s everywhere these days

[@TravelRunner]

Great video, Mike! You do know if you wear one of those Fractel hats you're then required to do the Marathon Des Sables in Morocco, right?

[@kofuzi]

I don't think I could handle that kind of heat

[@TravelRunner]

@@kofuzi me neither 🥵, but at least you have the hat! 😂

[@cortneywebb1677]

I live like 45 minutes outside of Atlanta and didn't know th epeachtree road race was such a big deal. I only recently began enjoying running though.

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Run it next year!

[@kofuzi]

I agree with Drew

[@cortneywebb1677]

Idk what all runs they have and distances but I’ll look into it and just may give it a go

[@Matt_Kraczon]

We’ve got a good 10 miler in the fall that you would enjoy. It’s also rolling hills and the route goes through the park. It’s much cooler and less humid as well .

[@kofuzi]

🤔

[@jeffdover6845]

I’ve run that trail a bunch

[@kofuzi]

A very nice place to run

[@aravaluska954]

Coolest 🧢🧢 ever😂😂😂😂

[@Alski2000]

Love these runners weekend vids. Couldn’t help notice you using two watches can you share what are they ? Looking for a nice running watch besides my Apple Watch. Thanks Ko.

[@kofuzi]

One is an Apple Watch. The other for this weekend was a Polar Pacer Pro

[@Alski2000]

@@kofuzi thank you

[@rickballard386]

Also, Pegasus 41 review?

[@gcklo]

I ran in 2021. No expo and not much activities. Still a blast though

[@kofuzi]

It’s changing

[@rajkumarraosinhji1397]

Coach K: This is another Super Fantastic Runners Weekend. Every big race or city should partner with you as their Ambassador. What a collab - you, Drew, Fleet Feet, Adidas. Question: You wore Bandit singlet in Boston. Adidas here. NB in NYC and Asics in Tokyo. Which worked for you the best. Thanks!!!

[@kofuzi]

All of them were quite good. I’d say I have a slight preference for the ASICS material

[@rajkumarraosinhji1397]

@@kofuziWill purchase Ascis singlet then. Thanks!!!

[@ylee7685]

Sorry didn't get to see you at the race. Hopefully you were able to pick up a tin coffee mug for the top 1k finishers after the race as a souvenir.
