NYC Marathon 2022 - Runner's Weekend

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

We’re all lucky that Mike catalogs these moments and puts them together in a way that accurately conveys what it’s like to be in the city for events like this. I was literally at this side for a large portion of the weekend and I can’t imagine a more accurate depiction of an amazing weekend. Put the NYC marathon on your bucket list!

[@kofuzi]

it was good to spend the weekend with you, Drew. looking forward to TRE!

[@leonaleewong]

Hands down, the best runner’s weekend I’ve ever had. Thanks for being a huge part of that🙏🏻😁!

[@kofuzi]

So great to see you again! You’re everywhere!

[@KoriRuns]

Thanks so much for the interview, Mike!!! Can't wait to share the rest of it!!!! Glad you've finally had the NYC Marathon experience 💪🏾!

[@laurainthehaute918]

Kori-great to see you’re interviewing Mike. The two of you are an authentic duo. Hope you had a great NYC race!

[@kofuzi]

This race is better than advertised

[@LucasH567]

So good! I like how you’ve rolled these into one long video, instead of one video per day. Really feels like a MOVIE! I don’t mind watching it over 2-3 different chunks. Great stuff!

[@kofuzi]

this way is a lot easier to live with. it's so much more stressful for me otherwise

[@Marc-dk8vw]

This was one of your best in-depth review of a marathon as it included days before the race, notes on the screen of people and shoes, and the timeline of the video was much appreciated. In helped to include the transportation also. Maybe in the future you could consider including the names of the hotel and the distance from the race. Just a thought.

[@kofuzi]

thanks for the feedback! I stayed at a hotel just a few blocks south of central park on 7th ave. very very easy to get back to after the race. no stairs to the subway required.

[@carlosmarin1]

I'm truly impressed with how you are able to make time for everyone, attend so many events and shake out runs the days prior to the marathon. I remember your first videos when you ran chicago for the first time, and how good they were, but watching this mini documentary of your NYC weekend is something else. Keep up the good work and best of luck in Sacramento!

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much for following along all these years!

[@janwedig7283]

Incredible! I follow you some years now and i can say that you make one of the best running content on youtube. Its wonderful how you create so much motivation, happiness, spirit and love in your videos. Running is truly an inspiration and joy! Keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany.

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much for watching!

[@iamdihan]

Your editing skills have hit elite level with your marathon pace ❤❤❤

[@michaelsesler1158]

love the runner's weekend series

[@kofuzi]

thank you. I love making these. I know it might be a bit laughable to watch one's own content, but I've watched this video in full at least three times (after completing the edit)

[@michaelsesler1158]

@kofuzi not laughable at all. you should be proud and want to watch it. your content and presentation has come so far since I began watching ( years ago now )

[@TheFODRunner]

I second this 👍

[@hufemeve]

Thanks Kofusi, you really make running quite an experience 🙌🙌🙌 Keep it up - the running community needs your work. 🔥🔥

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much!

[@macau.friend]

No Kofuzi shake out run is complete without getting lost at least once. It’s just part of the experience! Awesome video as always!

[@kofuzi]

I strive to deliver authentic experiences

[@kevrunsascott]

Not only did the NYC look epic, the run up are equally up there! Totally jealous of what NYC had to offer for the entire marathon weekend!

[@kofuzi]

So much to see and do!

[@grahami3495]

Great 4K footage. Really feel the atmosphere on my TV.🎥

[@kofuzi]

love to hear that!

[@kyleryczek]

What a compelling summary of one of the biggest weekends in the sport! Thanks for bringing us along, Ko!

[@kofuzi]

thanks for coming with me!

[@kyleryczek]

@@kofuzi Hopefully IRL soon!

[@AmritpalGhatora]

Love this! So beautifully put together and a pleasure to meet this weekend!

[@kofuzi]

Hope to see you again soon! Great to meet you!

[@jeffreyclarke4811]

Thanks for coming out Kofuzi! I'm so glad you finally got a chance to run (in my opinion) the greatest marathon in the world! This was my 7th and by far the worst weather conditions, but the city showed up as usual and carried us through the suffering. NY spectators and volunteers are incredible!! Congrats on all your success and I hope to see you again in the future!

[@cherylgayheart4217]

Fabulous! I just relived my great weekend thanks to you! 🎉

[@michaeltanel3815]

I have to say that the duo of Kofuzi and Meghann Featherstun wasn't something I realized I wanted...but now I want to see! She's quickly become a favourite of mine for race planning and podcast listening on Fuel for the Sole! Get on that podcast and ask allll the questions, Mike!

[@kellybaker6353]

I love that on each Runners Weekend video, I feel like I’m right there joining in on the fun. Thanks for taking all of us along!

[@kofuzi]

thank you for coming with me

[@EricFloberg]

the goat does it again. This was insanely good, Mike!!!

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much Eric! I take it as especially high praise coming from you

[@aliza6491]

Love the video and seeing all the action you had going on during the weekend. Seriously NYC marathon is one of the best

[@LuisBecerra79]

This videos are getting better and better every single day. Congrats again on an excellent job on bringing us along this journey Ko 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.

[@kofuzi]

thanks for always coming with me, Luis!

[@tomtigermc]

Great racer weekend recap Kofuzi. I just hope one year I'll be able to get to NYC marathon just to experience it!

[@kofuzi]

Hope to see you there Thomas!

[@susanwiggins6309]

Love all these runner's weekend vlogs, but I think this one was the best. So many cool events!

[@kofuzi]

this was such a memorable weekend

[@runkostyan]

I watched the video and seemed to have flashed this weekend together! An excellent answer turned out, emotions go wild!

[@samgozinsky3567]

Long-time fan of your channel. NYC was my first marathon (hometown race!) and one of the best days of my life. I'm so glad you got to experience what makes it so special, and share that with everyone else in only the way that you can! Top notch video

[@kofuzi]

This is such an incredible race!

[@paperjourni8964]

your videos are just amazing! that must be so much work! I cannot thank you enough for this great entertainment and inspiration! 🙏🏻

[@kofuzi]

I love making this style of video. thank you so much for watching!

[@laurenyoung71]

This thing is STANDOUT. You should be so proud of this content, dude. Rocking it x

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much!

[@gregphillips8785]

Love these runners weekend’s, it’s so great to see all the cool stuff going on around the race. Gotta get over there someday!

[@kevintalaueCR]

Hey @kofuzi I really enjoy all your videos, it is a big part of why I was inspired to run my first half marathon and full marathon races this year after only starting to run back in May. Keep up the good work and the inspiring content!

[@kofuzi]

congratulations on your milestones!

[@OttoVogrincic]

Amazing video! You captured NYC and marathon weekend marvelously. It was great meeting you on Friday Ko.

[@wilfredo-teyrosalesfotos]

I’ve been waiting all week for this and it did not disappoint 🤜🏾🤛🏻

[@kofuzi]

Thanks Wilfredo!

[@mikestatelman2818]

As a three time NYC Marathon finisher it was great seeing you out there enjoying the energy of all five boroughs. Greater achievement considering the weather. Btw what is the pizza spot you hit up at 12:34?

[@oscarlabarte5651]

Excellent video friend Kofuzi from Mallorca Island

[@davidfraseur71]

Agree with many others, thank you Mike for putting this together. This was my first NYC marathon and I was able to run it with my daughter! Very special for sure and it is nice to relive the weekend with your video! We are also running Boston 2023 and hope to see you there!

[@kofuzi]

what an experience to run with your daughter!

[@seanhassin]

Amazing NYC marathon weekend documentary

[@joyaclub]

Another stellar video. I think what's often overlooked is the great audio you choose to match the video. Thanks for sharing what looked like a fantastic weekend.

[@Greg-me8le]

Another super video. It was a Chicago Marathon video that you did ages ago that first brought me to your channel that was nicer than the official videos that the race organizers put out. And your quality has only gone up since.

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for watching all these years!

[@Martha-fluterunner]

It’s hard to add anything unique to the effusive comments already here other than to say I agree with all of them! You’ve mastered the highest level of the runner’s weekend recap format, and you’ve made me yearn to experience NYC Marathon despite my trepidations about it!

[@kofuzi]

it can certainly be overwhelming, but I think you'd have plenty of familiar faces to spend the weekend with if you came out

[@Martha-fluterunner]

Next year is out with CHI now, but I’m sure I’ll be trying that GFA lottery in NY for ‘24. I’ll need to get in the queue for registration way earlier next time. The sheer number of shakeouts is amazing, and I’d be adding rabbit and Runners World, so most of them would be just meetups for me so as not to run an 80 mi weekend as you did, to say the least! 😂

[@joelthompson5723]

The production value of this video is fantastic.

[@kofuzi]

thank you 🙏

[@CR-ew9gl]

Another amazing storytelling video, loved it. An evening group run through Central Park sounds great💪. Don't know how you were able to run a marathon after such a very busy few days, but the energy at the shakeous and the crowds seemed to have really helped🏃🏻‍♂️😎. We'll done!

[@kofuzi]

Whew. I ended the week at 80 miles.

[@CR-ew9gl]

​@@kofuzi 🤯

[@themanorruns]

Had a nice time recollecting the race weekend watching this today, thanks as always for such incredible footage 🙌🏻💚

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@nosashuly]

Each time I watch your videos I keep saying its the best. However, this one trumps them all. The best part was seeing everybody I follow on YT and IG all in here, except of course Seth Demoor.

[@kofuzi]

He made it into last years video though

[@pauloantunes2115]

Congratulations for always make fantastic and very complete videos from your weekend races! NYC is, like the race itself, one of the bests! Thanks for sharing! I’d like to ask though if you can send a word of comfort to all the runners that ended up at the hospital(s) ER or ICU (kidney failure) due to the heat and humidity. What they thought it would be an amazing experience it became… the worst one! And please educate runners/ people to not going beyond their limits and keep in mind that run should be fun, exciting… And Congratulations again for the fantastic NYC marathon video!! As a New Yorker made me see the city from a different angle… looks so much better in your video!!! 😁😁😁

[@Believeintherun]

What a weekend to remember. We’ll be talking about the hot 2022 Mary for a long time.

[@kofuzi]

Unforgettable!!!

[@R1Pful]

The best NY marathon video I have seen by far👌🏾🙌🏾

[@kofuzi]

Thank you 🙏

[@bjs1965]

Awesome video! Thankyou for putting this together so quickly post-event, I felt like I was there! It has only strengthened my resolve to get to this event! Well run! 👍👊🏃🙏

[@brianinness5202]

Brought back a lot of great memories from running it in 2019!! My first ever marathon!! Thank you for a great video!! 😀

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much for watching!

[@jaycoane6127]

I've been enjoying your videos for years, going back to when you had a real job! Lol. This one is otherworldly!!! Thanks Ko

[@kofuzi]

Thanks so much!

[@laurainthehaute918]

Mike, I’m not crying, it’s probably from my workout. ❤❤🍎🍎

[@scotty1418]

Always amazed by the sweeping cine shots

[@kofuzi]

thank you 🙏

[@endurancefrank-nonelite2227]

Yo Kofuzi, classic vid!! You captured the race perfectly and the weekend. Also the spirit of why NYC is greatest race on earth!!

[@j.w.matney8390]

Great video ! I ran the 2009 NYC Marathon and this brought back some great memories. Thanks Mike !

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@gkweeks11]

Wouldn't be a true kofuzi run club run without getting lost!! These running weekend recaps are top notch 💪

[@kofuzi]

We got the full experience

[@嘿嘿嘿-z1v]

Thanks for sharing the week not only the race. I can't wait for my NYC Marathon next year 😄

[@ianlowe4126]

Outstanding video Kofuzi brought back memories of my 2017 NY marathon and although it rained that day nothing would spoil the experience. Fantastic marathon. Ian 🇬🇧

[@renaldofountain1724]

Love the content! Appreciate your passion hard work! Thank you!

[@Stentordoc]

This video captured the essence and the feel of New York and marathon weekend. I just got home from there 3 days ago (2:48:35), but I already can’t wait to go back!

[@kofuzi]

Hope to see you next year!

[@kim-anh9860]

This was my 2nd time there (I LOVED it when I ran in 2019), but it felt different this time. Everything went wrong and I PWd. I swore I would never go back even though the support in NYC is the best I’ve ever encountered. After watching your race recaps, I want to go back. Redemption!😂

[@iRunOnBeer]

Such incredible showcase of the excitement in NYC for marathon weekend! You can feel the energy in this video!

[@kofuzi]

great to finally meet in person!

[@iRunOnBeer]

@@kofuzi Likewise!

[@christophertobias7037]

Great video on capturing the spirit and energy of the marathon weekend. Your editing skills are top notch. So nice to meet you on the shakeout run

[@jason.rams4]

Amazing video! Amazing footage! Makes me want to run NYC that much more!

[@deeppansapkota9056]

What a wonderful and uplifting video. I will try to be there next year.

[@kofuzi]

hope to see you there!

[@noelmarkham]

Woo I'm in a Kofuzi video! Great to meet you for the shakeout run!

[@louklein7143]

Fantastic vid ! I had a great time at your shakeout and at the BITR shakeout.. the marathon itself was fun, if not a test to see how far I could dig to get across that line. But like you, I ran into all kinds of people I knew throughout the race !

[@ParityDesu]

Awesome video as always! The shakeout runs looked like lots of fun. I'll have to join some next time!

[@kofuzi]

hope to meet you soon!

[@yakiweiss546]

Thank you kofuzi, a great video! I just love you 🙂🙂

[@christinezulkosky8376]

I was so looking forward to all of your content from the NYC marathon weekend after discovering your channel based your Chicago marathon videos-and you did not disappoint! One of my favorite channels I've discovered lately, keep it up!

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much!

[@RunningOtaku]

That was so much fun! What a great weekend. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@kazooduck]

[@kofuzi]

it was such a nice luxury

[@jw_asia]

You're an inspiration! Love it. Thank you, Ko for sharing!

[@kofuzi]

You are not wrong about the nyc crowds. On a difficult day, they boosted my spirits every step of the way. It was a privilege to run this year.

[@kofuzi]

The crowds gave so much support!

[@OneHitJuanDer]

[@gokiwi2642]

Great Vlog. This made up my mind I want to run the Manitoba marathon again in 2023. This past June it was 100 degrees and unbearable. Race was cancelled 1.5 hrs in.

[@kofuzi]

That is incredible

[@slickwitdakicks5758]

Ran my first marathon in Bowling Green KY same day as NYCs, the most miles I've ever ran in my life, crazy rush my left knee still begging but can't wait for next marathon, maybe NY maybe next year..
