Marathons aren't about running.

My whole life I never realised what marathons were all about. and then I experienced one. This is a story about human energy. Shot at this years 2023 London Marathon.
Thanks to everyone we met, runners and supporters. If you spot someone you know, please share with them as we didn't get their details!
huge thanks to Sabrina for making this with me.

This is incredible

[@mesnilman2327]

Many thanks, Phily, for pointing me in the direction of this video! It's excellent

[@milikoshki]

Thanks for linking this, Phily! A well deserved shout out :)

[@joshcox7205]

Thank you for recommending. Such an awesome video!

[@kerralexander]

Crikey, Phily. I wasn't ready for that. Had me crying like a big baby. (Thanks though!) 😂

[@johnturgoose4205]

People are.

[@FoxBox72]

Not everyone hasa crew. Many travel alone, run alone, finish alone, do it for their own reasons. And they are surrounded by the support of strangers, which is amazing. But marathons are definitely about running, and not just running that day - but the months of gruelling training and mental perseverance in all weathers that leads up to that day.

[@ZacAlsop]

Found you on TikTok, incredible storytelling

[@aligallop]

Thank you man, that means a lot

[@thecutwithkathryn]

This made me teary. So emotive and well shot. I was there at the marathon and felt it all. ENERGY

[@aligallop]

Thank you Kathryn ❤ ENERGY!!! Haha, yessss i'm glad you experienced it

[@ColinandSamir]

This video is awesome

[@petersciretta4979]

😭

[@ZayPolanco]

How does this video not get a million views?!?! Amazing storytelling and cinematography!

[@Adrian-fp7ym]

I ran the London marathon this year and if it wasn’t for the amazing crowds I wouldn’t have crossed the line. This video captures the human spirit and restores my faith in humanity. Congrats to everyone who completed the marathon and massive Thank you to all the supporters and amazing volunteers.❤ Great video Ali.

[@BrianCashin]

Can see the Casey Neistat influence is these but of course adding your own style and making them yours. Editing and pace is great! Came across this on tik tok and was expecting this account to have a huge following on KZbin. Genuinely shocked you dont have more views and subs with the quality of your vids. Keep up the fantastic work good sir, youre definitely on the way up. Its a like and subscribe from me anyway 👍

[@oshuyt]

A true creative, keep shining you galaxy

[@Christian_Jara]

Great video and so true, I run for my late younger sister, she left us 3 years ago and I can truly say that running marathons saved my mental and physical health. What you forgot to mention though is the hundreds if not thousands of miles we put into training... the marathons are the reward or party to a much longer process. Awesome video!

[@justdomshow]

Came here from Sam Dawson's video truly inspiring work mate keep creating from the heart man. Well deserved sub 🤜🤛

[@noelmarkham]

I used to live about a mile away from the start of the London Marathon. Always saw the day as an annoyance, roads closed etc. My wife would drag me out to cheer everyone every year and I'd always come away inspired and glad I went to watch. I eventually got in to the London Marathon on the ballot a few years ago and it changed my life. Great video. I never hit the like button but I did on this one. Thanks for this.

[@fatrunner]

I ran it this year for the first time and this video summed it up perfectly. The crowd was incredible, everyone who came out to support deserves a medal as well.

[@jonwalzmusic]

The editing. The storytelling. The infectious energy. How do you not have more followers? This is golden. That you for sharing.

[@charliem9528]

What’s the background track at 2:16?

[@LouisGibbinsServo]

mix between Pieces by Avaion and Balearic Drop by SUBNR

[@saadzainnn]

This felt so refreshing. Lately the genuine and beautiful art of storytelling has been making it's way back to KZbin through creators like yourself, and it's just super inspirational to witness :)

[@user-qg6lj9gi2s]

Finished my first marathon last year, and you truly captured the feeling of the whole experience. On that day there is something in the air, something that inspires you and pushes you beyond your limits. And I think you got it right. It’s the human energy! The love and support of our fellow human beings.

[@IBXRunning]

Just found this. It is so damn good. Sending to all my running friends now..

[@aminsabir7902]

It was my first ever marathon in memory of my sister and you were so right and it all! The crew, the occassion and the suppoet from so many others! There is nothing like it ❤

[@johneleasar9878]

Wow! Just ran my first marathon last year. This video comes close to the whole experience! To be cheered on and to cheer on those next to you and behind you.

[@AidanJokes]

This should be a promo video for the marathon. Absolutely incredible stuff!

[@MattMort]

Beautiful, the human experience. Would love to run a marathon someday & feel that energy :)

[@ruthchappell6511]

Bingo! You've summed it up so well. Thank you for making this video - I've just relived Sunday's emotions all over again and I never want to lose that feeling.

[@kalvin.]

Great video! Inspiring story, the editing dictating the pacing of the video which went from frenetic and high energy to slowed down and lingering on some very emotional moments. Brilliantly done!

[@choq-des-lody]

Discovered you through Sam Dawson! I am so glad he made a video about you, because you are a pure gem. If you could sit down with him to talk about your process, I think I would watch that video a 1000 times and force all of my friends and family to watch it (like I am going with this video right now...)

Wow, man, just came here from @SamDawson's video. I have not watched his breakdown yet because I wanted to see the full film with fresh eyes first, and I just wanted to tell you it gave me goosebumps, and I actually started tearing up at one point. Your energy and your emotions are infectious. Keep it up. I'm looking forward to watching more of what you do.
