I agree 100% with everything you said and I get it why so many influencers are commenting on Matt Choi's debacle at the NYC Marathon. The thing is we know who Matt Choi is given his track record, but what amazes me is no one is talking about the failure and hypocrisy of the NYRR and NYC Marathon officials. They did absolutely nothing as they allowed Matt's crew to follow him on the course. The CEO of Runna even ran with him and should know better. I'm more disappointed with NYRR and NYC Marathon officials...

Matt Choi had his bike crew filming him in Houston, too. I was surprised they were riding on the course

So crazy he just never learns and is always apologizing

@kdroadrunning Ай бұрын

I was volunteering the 2024 NYRR RBC Brooklyn Half Marathon. Everyone who checked in their packages were waiting outside of the fence to wait on the volunteers to hand them packages. He just jumped off the fence and looked for his own package. Come on, you have to follow all the rules! That’s called Discipline!

@GokuRunner Ай бұрын

Ugh. Another thing. If you look at the apology video people are forgiving him once again.

@ Yes, I did! I don’t hate him, but everyone has to follow the rules! Every Marathon Race requires everyone’s effort! We need to respect everyone’s effort!

@ChauTeddy9 Ай бұрын

All runners are equal, whether non-elite or professional. Everyone has the same ticket to the finish line and receives a medal. Disrespecting others is a low-class slap in the face.

Yup. Do whatever you want but when it starts affecting others then theres a big problem.

Qotd: Mostly I've gone without listening to anything. Lately I've had a hard time with any runs over an hour and I've tried podcasts. Maybe they help a little bit sometimes, like when I'm trying to run extra slowly. As for Choi, I've never watched any of his videos and I don't know if I'd even heard of him until now, lots of guys called Matt around. It sounds like I haven't missed anything. All of this publicity probably helps him when it's all said and done. Glad to hear that you're getting the training done and the treadmill is working out for you!

Sarurday at the expo we were looking for the stage with course strategy sessions, accidentally found Matt Choi speaking on a different stage. Took about 30 seconds to realize who he was and we noped out lol (and found the right stage!)

@ I hope not because he does bring awareness to the running community with good content. He has to find a better way of doing it.

@jtoddsmith73 Ай бұрын

I don't mind his content, but he did make a mistake here. Here's my question though...I have never been to the NYC Marathon, but is there no security? How did a camera crew on ebikes make it the entire 26.2 miles?

@GokuRunner Ай бұрын

You can get anywhere with a hi-vis vest so the volunteers on course probably thought they were official

@Reckoning2943 Ай бұрын

Once is a mistake, twice is a choice. He did this multiple times. He knows it’s not right, hence the hi-vis vests to not have them dragged off course.

@GokuRunner Ай бұрын

@@Reckoning2943 Yup he's done it way too many times. Plus I don't get the "blame the organization for not policing" Marathons are run largely by volunteers with only a few full time staff. Blame the idiot with the bike crew with cameras.

Matt Choi or Goku Runner? I’m going to choose Jeremy aka Goku Runner all the time. I get inspired by Jeremy’s video and running journey. Matt Choi has his niche audience. I can’t relate to Matt Choi because he seems to be about himself. Running a full marathon is hard work and not easy for people like me. Thus I like Jeremy’s videos because he shows how difficult running is but Jeremy keeps going. Matt Choi is a fast runner and running for him seems effortless.

I agree! Goku Runner is the real deal. Not saying this because he’s my brother. Matt Choi reminds me of a person I use to run with that was all about themself. I ran NYC this year by the way. The Madness!

This was my first ever marathon, and being part of the largest recorded Marathon was magical. I have drawn a lot of motivation from running KZbin content creators like you, Matt, and others. Really bummed to hear about his continued undisciplined actions in his pursuit of generating content. It's incredibly disappointing because there are only a few people of color in this online space, so this is even worse. Hope Matt grows from this.

@jja-fy5sc Ай бұрын

So he brought 2 reporters for him on the road... not recording himself(Manny youtubers)...It's some rare for KZbinr to bring others... So he must listen to others... But maybe he deserve one more chance to change his behavior, if he promise to comply the rule.

Matt was a big motivation for me to get into running. He's not a 'typical' runner and I appreciate his content, specifically related to strength training to help runners. He made a mistake, but I see so much hate for him, I find it sad really. I think his positive impacts on the running community far outweigh this e-bike incident. But I think I'm in a minority.

@GokuRunner Ай бұрын

I mean if it was one incident sure. Bib muling at Houston, Austin E-bike crew was a mistake and then he does it again at the New York Marathon. It's just too many incidents that he keeps having to apologize for.

Just another person who needs some attention in life. Where would fools like this be without the internet, hey? To genuinely influence people isn't a job, it's a way of life and an unselfish desire and pursuit to see people change for the better without the need for any recognition or reward.
