[@Eightfathorses]

Im doing a half marathon on Sunday after a year of cancer treatment. It will feel like 250k to me for sure. Thank you for understanding and valuing that all our journeys are all different. Congratulations you are amazing.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Unbelievable - all the best with your half and congratulations on bouncing back from your treatment, what a message to send 🚀

[@Eightfathorses]

Thank you 😊 ultras are my dream. I'll get there

[@Peteismi]

I'm now binging these videos for motivation after a big surgery. First jog on Monday was 2km and took 20 minutes.

[@stevieblair]

You're amazing! A half marathon after a year of cancer treatment is unreal. What a lady!

[@Eightfathorses]

@@stevieblair thank you so much ☺️

[@colin_canto]

Fergus… you are a true warrior. I first found out about you through your double brutal extreme triathlon. I was so excited to see the making and production of this film. I know it’s going to be amazing. You motivated me to start my triathlon and endurance training journey, you are a hero Fergus!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Amazing to hear thanks Colin!

[@IDareYouToMove77]

Wow. Don’t think words do justice to just how inspiring this was to watch. I’m 5 weeks out from my first marathon and battling being sore everywhere, taking time off running and swapping it for different forms of cross training. Watching this has really focussed me on the end goal - not to let my head dip. Within the first few minutes I was blown away by your mindset: My 250k is someone else’s 5k. And the fear leading into that, although objectively is different, for the individual is compatible. What a true inspiration you are - and what a team you have around you. Truly amazing to see a group of men throwing logs on each others fires rather than water on them. Thanks for this Fergus. Great job!

[@grantrobbins9949]

Scotlands hardest geezer 👏🏻 Huge respect to you and your team around you during this, you went to war and won! Inspirational on every level! Beast.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Grant, much appreciated 🫡

[@MClenting]

Insane cinematography. You are very inspiring Fergus

[@pierrebosse5818]

I usually don’t comment on videos, but I couldn’t resist expressing my gratitude for the immense inspiration your video has sparked in me. Your project is truly remarkable, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you and congratulate you on your incredible work. Keep inspiring us all!

[@Chrisevs88]

Dude, you're a straight up savage. A Massive inspiration in my fitness journey. I basically started running after finding your youtube channel. Multiple knee surgeries and being a bigger guy always put me off, but hitting some trails has been awesome.

[@tomatkinson1457]

Came across your video as I have signed up for a 200 mile race and was looking for endurance videos to see what mental challenges I will have to go through running such a long distance. First of all what an achievement! I have walked the West Highland Way so know exactly how difficult the underfoot conditions are, so to run that after already doing 80 odd km is incredible and a great inspiration. The video was brilliantly put together and thanks for documenting all the tough moments too, it shows that no matter how difficult it feels, how much pain you where in and how much is left to do, that pushing forward is still possible. That’s what you demonstrated and what I took from this video, I’ll have that in my mind come my run so thanks for that. Congratulations again!

[@bigmaclexa]

I ran my first 25K today. I can't even comprehend doing 10x that. This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on this website.

[@juliehsunflower]

thanks for the video. i was just at the doctor last week and got told that i had a minor recrack in the healing bone tissue on my fractured foot. i fractured both feet in the middle metatarsal in the same spot in the past four months. i ran the presque isle marathon last september. its been downhill since then. i have to rethink a lot of things but first get through the next few weeks of not being suppose to run beacuse of this left foot. i ran the last week even though i wasn’t suppose to. don’t know how my right foot healed in february because i did not stop any training. i want to build endurance to do an iron man in the next few years. right now just being abke to race again at presque isle in september is the goal... people like you are helping a lot to learn how to do this right. it can be really lonely sometimes. i always train by myself so its helpful to watch videos like this because i know theres help out there. thanks 🌻

[@tobi_emonts]

Not sure what to say Fergus. You keep raising the bar. You keep inspiring us to do better. And yet you stay humble and show us all what it means to be a true warrior. Thank you for all that you do and thanks to the team for this incredible video. (It shall be mandatory viewing for the kids too 😂)

[@ferguscrawley95]

Massively appreciate it my man thank you!

[@Beefywheels]

Hearing you talk about getting a bit lonely makes you so much more relatable. It’s a really brave and impressive stunt you’ve just pulled. Everyone watching is proud of you 🎉 and your team is incredible 🎉

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching, appreciate it!

[@jakefinesilver3157]

My favourite aspect is the level of dedication you all have to one another within the team - this was the culmination of what looked like 5/6 months of hard work from everyone to provide a platform to allow Fergus to do what he does best (suffer for growth). In awe and so proud to have seen the progression over the last 3/4 years.

[@anyawatters842]

soooo excited it’s finally out!! honestly such an inspiration, you’ve made me passionate about running again after a number of knee surgeries that have kept me out of action for 5+ years❤️x

[@ferguscrawley95]

Amazing to hear!

[@bigstudiobogota]

Congrats Fergus! thanks for letting us join you in your journey and for all the lessons we get along the way, huge inspiration for me personally. I understand the storm within you a little too well.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate it thank you - all the best 🤝

[@BrothBoss]

Just discovered your channel yesterday (watched the double Iron Man in Wales), and I cannot comprehend how you don't have more subscribers. Well, you have at least 1 more now. You're a true inspiration, sir

[@TomPetoTraining]

Really enjoyed watching this. Well done for getting it done, needless to say an amazing physical feet & looked like a tough mental battle.

[@TheRmeehan]

The most impressive thing about this whole experience was the 5 plates joke......but congratulations Fergus, mind blowing achievement. I hope youre very proud.

[@braydonmccormack6191]

5 plate marrathon 😂

[@robinvesely1073]

This is literally the craziest thing I have ever seen. You are an absolutely insane man, Fergus. You showed unbelievable mental and physical toughness and strength that cannot be described with words.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate it thank you! Tested me big time.

[@stephenhaining9314]

Just incredible. Your physical fitness is beyond doubt but your mental toughness is just absolutely elite. Congratulations dude!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Cheers Stephen!

[@DerekNordicTan]

A true and genuine extreme athlete like you Fergus, exemplifies young generations to always have the positive and strong mental fortitude to destroy the giant blocks of obstacles in sports life and life in general. Love to see u showing contents like this. God Bless you man.

[@johnhennessy9835]

As a busy father of four with a hectic schedule it says alot about how delighted I am to sit down to watch this,inspiring and motivating Fergus,ever impressed!Well done 👍

[@topsysdad1]

This backed up what I expected, monumental effort, incredible outcome, and wonderfully captured by your videographer and editing team. What stood out to me was the power of a team, they gave you the essential support to do what you did. without them this would have been to much. Well done all concerned

[@stevefitzsimons4797]

Incredible work man! The thing I love about your videos is beyond being inspirational, they’re very human. You demonstrate the low points as well as the highs, which makes the successes so much more impactful.

[@EmmaJaffacake1]

What a superhuman effort. Huge congratulations on such a huge achievement! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Also kudos to Jamie and Johnny and the rest of your support team 🙌🏽

[@Sjonwick]

Fergus… you really are an inspiration for me, your real and i can feel that.. thanks for the raw footage and you are a true hero, i have got an three year old son and iam gonna raise him by the examples and struggles i have experienced by the inspiration you gave me. God Bless you men

[@jackford7063]

F’ing huge effort Fergus! An inspiration to all. When the going gets tough, the tough get going

[@ferguscrawley95]

🫡🫡🫡

[@iainjackfitness]

Holy shit, Fergus, what an incredible achievement. What you guys are doing at Omnia is unbelievable. You, and the rest of the team are such a MASSIVE inspiration to so many people. What an awesome film this was too, I was hooked from start to finish. I'll def be undertaking a lot more challenges in my life moving forward.....starting with the Scottish half marathon in August, my first (official) half marathon. Thank you for putting this out there, man

[@kyleambrosius7231]

I just want to say that this is truly inspirational and you deserve so much more appreciation than I can possibly give. In the last few months following you, I have been taken from a dedicated sprinter to an endurance focused hybrid athlete. This is my first ever KZbin comment and I’ve decided to comment because I feel like you need to hear how amazing this was to watch. Good on you mate

[@cameronhedley4519]

Amazing achievement. Inspiring stuff to watch. It's so good to see the one of these doco style videos that isn't romanticized with plenty of "raw" material showing how tough this is mentally and seeing how you deal with the issues as they arrise. So much resilience!!!! Also just want to say A** on cinematography. I'm from the Lake District (live in aus now) and though this is not the lakes it makes me want to go home. Great advert for Scotland!!

[@cooking_training_with_ben]

Congratulations incredible achievement, I finished the 496 challenge on the same weekend, watching the live tracker really pushed me to finish it off knowing you had moved so far! Also loved the.. 220km, 5 plates. Ugh that's not how it works out here. Truly delirious at that point hahaha

[@ferguscrawley95]

Bros gonna bro. Well done on the 496 my man!

[@arjanvanderzwan537]

I was really looking forward to this and man, did it not disappoint! This is one of the best things I've seen here on the old KZbin. From the awesome achievement of running for 50 hours straight to the camerawork, from the incredible supportgroup to the scenerey (during daytime :)) and from the inspiration to the lessons learned: all excellent. I hope that between filming this and now you and your team have had the chance to sit back, relax, recover, look back and be very, very, very proud of what you've achieved. Hats off!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Great to hear! Thanks for the support, much appreciated!

[@jayemsee5421]

That was genuinely inspiring, Fergus. You are an animal. Thanks for letting us share that with you. Having walked the WHW I could feel every pain point coming up. To do it in the middle of all that is way out beyond. Well done, Sir. Well done.

[@itsDGW]

Amazing work fergus and team!! Extremely inspiring, I’m taking on my first full Ironman this year. I’ll keep this in my back pocket!🖤🖤🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@ferguscrawley95]

All the best with your training - thanks for watching 🤝

[@Mapletime]

You're a legend, thanks for helping keep me honest with myself. You do an expectational job of pushing yourself while also reminding others to remain focused on personal goals and not be distracted by others. Amazing job my friend!!

[@xgm2471]

Teared up watching this Fergus, you are a true inspiration

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching 🤝

huge credit to you and huge credit to whoever edited this vid - magnificent work

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you! Huge team effort this one.

[@daanverstrepen6947]

Absolute machine 🫡 Inspiration for the world!! Congratulations from Belgium 🇧🇪💪🏼

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you! Appreciate it

[@carolinesaunders952]

I can’t imagine the barriers you had to overcome to achieve your goal. Just brilliant and so inspiring. I hope you are recovering well. Big up to your team! Incredible support all the way 🎉

[@nzflyangler]

The pain, The pain - a sense you come to love and by then end - a few days later you miss wading through on your poles. great effort!!

[@blewdigeidfran]

What an incredible achievement but also an incredibly put together piece of art this video is. Congratulations to you and the whole team Fergus.x

[@FCSPVinobox]

Just sat and watched the whole video. I'm in complete admiration as someone who has cycled 100mile distances plus and found that hard considering i was on two wheels. To run/walk that distance especially over such undulating terrain, you must have been in bits. Very well done. Inspiring.

[@huwosianjones805]

Truly inspirational, thanks for going to those lengths. I really enjoyed seeing the support team, and the cinematography was epic. Scotland is everything.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching 🫡

[@nickmulligan9235]

Astonishing achievement Fergus. Congratulations. I loved how you were so honest with the footage we got to see. Amazing work all round from you, Jonny and the team.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for the support as always sir!

[@Hauser2084]

Phenomenal effort! Congrats to you and the team. It takes a village etc. Beautifully shot and edited too.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate you flagging this! I had the simplest job in reality 👀

[@zachvarwig3169]

Thanks Fergus, your hybrid training tips have been a big help to me as I’ve worked to get in better shape this year. Congrats on the accomplishment!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Great to hear, all the best with your training!

[@andymitchell2146]

Well done Fergus! Amazing effort and really showing the meaning of True Grit with the help of Johnny, your brother et al. It really shows how extraordinarily dreich this winter and spring have been.

[@TheFifthStinger]

Absolutely incredible work from you and the rest of the team

[@ferguscrawley95]

🤝

[@maxthirlwall9270]

Amazing achievement! Hugely inspiring. The video is also shot beautifully! Really shows how beautiful Scotland is.

[@floflo2514]

The cinematography in this video is incredible! A huge step up from previous videos (even though they were great already!). It felt like a short film. So huge shoutout to the editors.

[@blakestockdale]

Unreal effort doing this. And this film is on a par with any Netflix doc I have watched recently with a newborn. I say it again, unreal.

[@justasgecevicius9289]

What an effort. Great job mate. Great cinematography too. I have a feeling the west highland way might be a bit more crowded after this one...

[@LatimusChadimus]

I gotta say thanks for posting this on Sunday vs the usual Monday cuz I'd have never finished this at work. Enjoyable while I'm food prepping

[@thomasdean7590]

Love Jamie calling you dramatic after running over 200km 😂. What a solid brother!

[@ferguscrawley95]

He put in an absolute shift tbf!

[@oscartjaa]

You are a f-ing beast! So inspirational! You have no idea how many people you inspire with this and what impact you make on people’s lifes and lifestyles. Keep doing this!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Amazing to hear thank you!

[@HoboSteve2]

Absolute inspiration! We all knew you could do it but seeing the process puts this monstrous distance into perspective

[@johnhealy6908]

been waiting a week for this 🔥

[@ferguscrawley95]

Enjoy!

[@danielmcleod6535]

This was incredible. A monumental achievement and very inspiring. I did the west highland way a few years ago with my late father as my support team and it was great to see those beautiful shots from your team after Tyndrum I think it is, where you have the road, the river, railway and the trail all in parallel. It brought back some great memories.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Ah great to hear it brought the landscape to life a bit - glad you got to do it with your father 🙌🏼

[@moeezmalik3666]

An absolute specimen in mind and body. Truly an inspiration. Great job mate👑

[@peterfraser3523]

You're a stud - keep on trucking!

This is unbelievable. Genuinely inspired after watching this, bravo Fergus and team 🎉💪

[@TomParke1994]

Huge achievement! Inspiring as always & production value was awesome too. Big question is though... harder or easier than the double brutal??

[@Hodstish]

Truly incredible Fergus! You sir are an inspiration and legend, amazing mate!

Epic mate. Well done! Loved the cinematography as well.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks mate! Team have smashed this one

All the best with your training! Next event at my end announced soon 🤝

[@aaronwaynepodcast]

Well done, bubba. All the way from Virginia, good on you.

[@CodyBunker]

Pretty incredible. Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment.

[@MJCarterRuns]

Insane!! Absolutely insane! I have loved seeing the progress along the way and the way you are truly open. It's always hugely encouraging to see videos like this and make me want to have my own (much smaller) version of it one day! 1000km cycle next? 😅

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching! Haha at the very least I’m looking forward to getting back on the bike 🫡

[@mogendieAbenteuerbeginnen]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum 250 km Lauf. 🥳

[@Matto_Harvo]

Phenomenal. Great video graphics. But awesome effort.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching!

[@Brownbear327]

The most impressive part is hidden at the end. You and your team listened to your heads and the experts and did not do something dangerous for ego or a good video. Amazing physical feat and good decision making

[@RHU0101]

Exceptional effort and a brilliant video too 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sh5810]

What a wild adventure. Well done, Fergus.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching!

[@drummingsim]

What an incredible journey. Brought a tear to my eye, thinking of the adversity you need to overcome to push yourself this far. As you said, this may be someone else's 5k/10k or whatever their current perceived limit is, the challenge is relative. But the lessons learned and the experience gained are a treasure worth more than all the riches of the world. You are a warrior and a legend Fergus Crawley, well done indeed 💪👏

[@janstanek5544]

I was just blown away, extremely inspiring, extremely tough, extremely insane. You are just epic warrior, respect!

[@ferguscrawley95]

[@js199576]

Amazing video, Fergus, and what an achievement! I'm ready for the next adventure! ;)

[@mcdvtt]

Well done mate. So proud & what a colossal undertaking

[@oliverrising7982]

In an absolute hole from about 50K in and the ultra fatigue started to kick in. Phenomenal support team to lift you through that lot and cracking effort for digging in. Training for when you're at your worst is underrated and this was a good example of having to push through that

[@johngray6062]

Tremendous effort mate as per usual. Reckon the MOAB 240 is in your sights 👀👍💪😀

[@suds0001]

Unbelievable effort Fergus. Truly inspiring to show others that you can push through whether it be 5, 50 or 250km! Amazing achievement. Well done mate 👍🏻

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you very much 🙌🏼

[@chrisrobbo]

Congratulations Fergus 👏🏼 loved hearing Jonny’s advice and knowledge. Great guy.

[@jongouldby3258]

Inspirational. You are the man Fergus, respect!

[@chloeemmawells]

Truly incredible Fergus. Watching this gave me chills. Xx

[@simonecarkeek7]

Amazing effort for you and your crew. True inspiration of what we can do if we put our body and mind on the line. We'll done.

[@shantejo]

An amazing achievement and an amazing video as well. I really liked that it highlights the mental challenges the lay in such extreme feats. The considerations that go into that from the athlete and the team. I had the impression that the video conveys your mental states during the event in a fantastic way.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate it thank you - want these videos to be as honest as possible!

[@shauncramer863]

Great job! Will use this as inspiration for my first Comrades ultra. I do feel like Fergus would do even better if he can bring his dramatization down a bit...maybe that's his way of dealing with the hardships.
