I watch this every morning that I run. I love this video

[@sjpm8940]

I came across your video a few years ago, soon after I finished my second 10km race. At the time, how anyone can run four times the distance was beyond my comprehension. But I LOVED this video. The excitement and trepidation of running a marathon was tangible, and I soon started dreaming about running a full marathon one day. I watched this video countless times whenever I felt unmotivated or before I had to tackle my long run. Well, two years and two half marathons later, I ran my first marathon last October! And this May I completed my second and qualified for Boston. I feel like I've come a long way, and I owe it to your video for planting a seed in my head. I look forward to the day when I can finally run the NYC marathon where it all started. Thank you!

[@johng8911]

12 yrs old video but I still keep watching this before the NY marathon. It’s so beautiful, it gets me in my feels. Good luck to everyone also running this weekend!

[@zewnatury2010]

This very video inspired me to start running. And last Saturday I did my first marathon ever! And guess, what song was on my headphones on the final mile?

[@barelynuthin]

+WeA Congratulations on your first marathon! Thank you for the kind comment, we are flattered you thought of our video.

[@jakebox1]

I've watched this video a dozen times and I LOVE it. It makes me want to run, run, run!

[@triniguti]

I ran half marathon looong time ago, one of the important things of working out was this video, it moved me to the bones. Today I saw again, and it got me as it was the first time I saw it. Came to the conclusion to start running again after quarantine. We need extra positive neurotransmisors today, stay safe!

[@mastehn]

Loved this ❤️ NYC was my first and only Marathon so far in 2016, and I came across this during my training. It really pulled me through and gave me confidence and inspiration. Now when I look back on it I cry because that was one of the greatest days of my life ❤️

[@triniguti]

[@Tuasdad]

Came across your video years ago. It's been great inspiration. Was supposed to run in 2020, and 44 days from now will finally run it. I will be watching your video one last time before the race starts. Perfect combination of footage and music. It motivates and hits you right in the feels : )

[@barelynuthin]

Thank you Victor for your kind words. We are glad people still enjoy viewing the video and find it motivational. Good luck on the 2021 race. We will be rooting for you!

I had the go-pro on a wrist strap but mostly held it in my hand. The video was slowed down, slow motion helps smooth it out.

[@goodfellabeats]

Well done.

[@TeaLingo]

Congratulations !!!

[@MrABJensen]

This video made me want to run the ing new york city marathon. This year I missed it by 71 and 34 seconds to qualify. Marathon is hard :-)

[@mrfranciscoV]

I am running the 2014 New York City Marathon, I cannot even describe the feeling and the anxiety I go through every time I think about it. OMG the feeling of being able to qualify for such race, the emotions and this video just makes me go nuts.... I'm wondering who sings it and what's the name of the song?

[@1992camilito]

the name of the song is "All these things that I've done" and it's sing by the killers.

[@probegvideo]

That is something, that is something!

[@user-cy2jm6dr6m]

Fortunate to do last 10 nyc marathon with 9+1 entry, and never grows old, good luck to all
