[@ThatRunnerAaron]

This is the sort of stuff athletics needs to be doing. You’re a great ambassador for the sport mate, I think you’re going to go far Callum in the sport, as well as KZbin. Love this content. Well done mate.

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks a lot, really appreciate that! Charlie is the reason these end up looking and feeling so good - whilst he’s involved we’ll be fine! 👊🏻

[@BenIsRunning]

This series is quality mate! Couldn’t think of a better man to host it. Looking forward to the next, will have to get the beers in 🍻

[@the.distanceproject]

Cheers mate!

[@bobsporle2324]

Eliud, “no brunch is bottomless” 😂😂

[@the.distanceproject]

Genius from Charlie (editor)

[@ColeRunning]

Grabbing the 🍿

[@the.distanceproject]

XL popcorn required for this 20-minute watch!

[@bengaunt7475]

Go out with the Coffee Club three. A pub on a New Zealand vs Australia rugby game day any pub!!!

[@the.distanceproject]

This is a great shout!!

[@jackwentrunning]

My night out: Ben Felton, Callum Elson, Tom Folan. We’d be on whatever sponsorships Ben is working with right now for food and drink, and no matter where we’re out, we’re all up at 5am for a 20 miler treddy hamstring snapper

[@the.distanceproject]

Sounds dreadful 😂😂😂

[@liamhill9120]

Bolt, Farah, Ingerbritsen for my 3. Loved the episode excited to see who is next

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks mate!

[@tomg9704]

Yep yep this is the good stuff, cracking work Callum and Charlie

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you mate! Our pipeline of video ideas is so stacked, everything from funny 10-minuters to 60-min documentaries. We just need the audience & budget to make them happen! Your support is really valuable, cheers.

[@liamcrossman6334]

Has to be Mo Farrah to slap the gb flag around, the wisdom of Eliud Kipchoge and not necessarily a top like celeb elite but a bit of the American Reed Fisher, just to lap up all the stories and experiences they’ve all been through! The series we all needed and very much wanted 👊🏻🙌🏻

[@the.distanceproject]

Glad you enjoyed mate! Loving the selections for the night out too 😂🙌🏻

[@olivervarney2032]

as someone who went to kingston uni this is amazing

[@the.distanceproject]

Love it 😂

[@TheMassif]

Finally something different from the other thousands running channels! Got a new subscriber 👌

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you! That’s 100% our goal so I’m glad you said that!

[@montyhudson6592]

Loved this video, really funny and showing athletes as personalities instead of times will give the sport the attention it deserves. The night out chat was class😂 looking forward to the next episode

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks for the support! Ellis was a great first guest 🙌🏻

[@edhare4572]

Great content Callum and a great down to earth interview 🍻 Ellis is 100% right about the sport needing more media attention in general and not just because of one big name.

[@the.distanceproject]

Awesome guest doesn’t get much better! Thanks for watching

[@harryhopkins7848]

Ellis is such a good bloke by the looks of it.. good stuff! Night out, Kipchoge and Kiptum to see who’s best at darts, bowling, pool etc as we’ll never see them race together 😢 Ben_is_running also getting an invite to film it so we remember it the next day

[@the.distanceproject]

Interesting combo 😂

[@cameronmullen8311]

exactly what athletics needs! becoming more of a fan of you (and charlie!) by the day. class work

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you, really appreciate that! 🙌🏻

[@RedSpoonRunning]

Love this - Great format Ellis cross to end Farah's career with another sprint finish victory? No one said it out loud but I think it was in the subtext!

[@the.distanceproject]

Haha I’d never count Mo out - my favourite all time athlete. Fingers crossed Ellis can put the nail in the coffin though!

[@iancollinge1614]

That's a great vlog keep em coming

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you!

[@timverkoyen8742]

Started following you since I discovered the podcast. You are so funny, always make me laugh so hard. Great to follow you here as well!

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks Tim! Appreciate it 🙌🏻

[@jackstringfellow1254]

Yo enjoying it so far this is great content keep it up 🎉

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you!!

[@milesmalloy372]

Great video, we gotta get y’all sponsored so you can keep it up. I’d wanna talk to Jakob ingebrigtsen, Eliud Kipchoge, and Galen Rupp. Get the full picture of the running scheme from people in different places and timelines.

[@the.distanceproject]

That’s a great trio, doesn’t get more elite than that!!

[@qwyte7950]

Callum, Tom, and Ben. The podcasts show you all can have a laugh 😂 If it had to be pros only (not sure ehat constitutes a pro) I'd go Phily Bowden, Jakob Ingebrigsten, and Laura Muir. Regardless, loving the content! Keep it up!

[@the.distanceproject]

Interesting picks!!

[@danw108]

Your content is an absolute winner. Have you got a few of these planned?

[@the.distanceproject]

At least 2 more coming for sure! If it goes down well (and our sponsors see some good results) then I’d love to keep them coming! 🫡

[@nothing-q4u]

i would go with Pre (love to hear his thoughts on supershoes and the super tactical racing of today), Michael Johnson (want to hear him break down his running form), and Guerouj.

[@the.distanceproject]

Interesting mix!!

[@calolemos]

This series has a strong title, i think you should put it on the video title, I bet you would get more view and to be honest its easier to find it, keep strong 💪🏼

[@the.distanceproject]

You're only allowed a certain number of characters! Thanks for watching man

[@neilpinnell4569]

It’s a Sunday afternoon….Leeds on in the pub (Bielsa era) and the 3 pros sat at the table getting in the beers are - Noah Lyles who Iv had to confiscate his phone because he keeps checking his DMs and not chatting, Josh Kerr who I’m destroying for those disturbing side burns but then the final guy was going to be Mo Farah but he didn’t hear the door bell so we had to grab elish mccolgan who’s got a 4 pack of special brew on the go as she’s not in Budapest

[@the.distanceproject]

My favourite answer so far! 😂😂

[@shaunukhiking]

Night out. Dave Bedford. Steve Ovett and Steve Jones. 40 years ago. Curry and beers. Nightclub till 4, marathon in the morning.

[@the.distanceproject]

Definitely running home from the club with these blokes 😂

[@GTRunner]

Three athletes for a night out, cant look past the Run it Three Ways Boys, but if we're sticking to pros only gotta be the Coffee Club lads 😅

[@the.distanceproject]

People are overlooking the Salazar, Kiprop and Dwain Chambers trio

[@GTRunner]

@the.distanceproject not sure about that one, the night would probably involve taking some dodgy substances

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

20:53 *big night out with faith Kipyegon to plan*

[@the.distanceproject]

😂😂😂😂 good

[@alicewilcox3216]

🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥

[@the.distanceproject]

😇

[@_Tp__]

we need cole

[@tomjames3815]

Great content. One question. How many takes on the intro?

[@the.distanceproject]

I think we did 3, I actually nailed it on the 1st one but we wanted to see if the can could get a bit more shaken up 😂

[@tomjames3815]

proper stone cold steve austin style next time@@the.distanceproject

[@Stevenc1984]

Possibly the greatest £37 ever spent in running.

[@the.distanceproject]

More than 100x return on investment easily!

[@noahpaterson4209]

ellis 🐐

[@the.distanceproject]

annoyingly fast, handsome and funny
