In case y'all are looking for that hi-vi vest: geni.us/hivivest // and I've been using & loving this head lamp as well for early mornings/night: geni.us/headlampforrunners

[@jefffraser3205]

The discipline needed to try to become a better version of myself is why I love running so much. It is meditative and inspiring every single time I lace up my shoes.

[@flobergruns]

yes yes yes - Can feel corny, but man, it can change so many other parts of you.

[@its1027]

Putting on my reflective vest and gloves on as we speak. I’ll catch the rest of this video once I’m done with my morning session! Winter won’t hold us back!

[@flobergruns]

Let's go!!

[@ThatScarletKnight]

New series = new treadmill motivations to get me through dreadmill runs! Keep on pushing Floberg!!

[@slampamper1318]

You're set your goals, great! Can you go into why you set them there?

[@MarcosRomero]

I ran my first marathon in October. Trying to break 4 hours and hopefully around 3:30 by October of this year at St. George. The cold, dark, brutal morning runs have been intense, but I've been putting in the WORK. Thanks for the continued motivation, Floberg. So excited to watch through this series and be inspired by you through my training.

[@andrewmichel7773]

Let's go, good luck! I'll be cheering you on throughout my upcoming track season. Seriously, you're so inspiring and one of my favourite creators. Keep it up!

[@rfs9210]

Not just hitting the weights, but also training explosively in the gym to stiffen those tendons! Stiffer tendons = greater power output. Go get it Eric! You freakin got this!

[@sleepyturtwig]

Great start of the day, got a track workout on deck and getting hyped with another great video from floberg. Training for another attempt at 2:50 in LA Marathon. You got this Eric Floberg, all rooting for you

[@flobergruns]

Let's goo!! I have a couple athletes running LA - Hope it's an incredible race this year!!

[@sethmaas1958]

McKirdy 2:30 is so tuff... best of luck man!! You are a huge inspiration!

[@brennonpanovich]

LETS GOO! The goosebumps from the intro always hit different! But can't wait, it's really cool to see you guys go in-depth on the specificity in training, mindset, discipline, and everything in each prep. 2:30 doesn't stand a chance 👀

[@fopierson]

Thank you for putting in the caption for the windshield wiper sound. I would have had questions... good luck on your marathon build!

[@owenawagner]

I love the feel of this video, very documentary and personal. Good luck with sub 2:30!

[@Braming1]

You have no idea how hype I am to watch this

[@flobergruns]

Thanks for tuning in!!

[@milojohnsonn]

What a video. Ever since my injury last summer and not running for 6 weeks - I don’t take any run for granted now, snow wind rain - love it 🔥

[@logancarroll3621]

Already love the feel of this new series! Very cool to have an overarching annual goal with this too! Let it rip Coach!

[@quocpham3952]

Big ups from Australia! Ive been following you for the last couple years, and i got into the Chicago marathon. LETS FUCKING GO!!!!

[@samdking]

McKirdy 2:30, love it! Let's go. I'm flying over to run Chicago for the first time this year; I got lucky in the ballot. Can't wait!

[@RunningWithRob]

I started running in March last year and set BQ goal. I hit just shy of that on October at Columbus running 2:56:26. I then broke my ankle recently slipping on ice and in recovery. New goal for the year, sub 3:30 marathon. Let's stay focus and get it! I believe in you and thanks for the videos and motivation you give to us all.

[@flobergruns]

ah man, so sorry to hear about your ankle. Seems like you have a fantastic perspective though. Keep grinding on getting stronger!! You've got this!!

[@TimPalman]

Excited for this race! Word to the wise - there’s no point eating “clean” / whole foods if it’s causing you to under fuel in calories and causing stomach issues. Whole and clean foods and notoriously fibrous meaning they fill you up quicker and are more likely to upset your GI. Chocolate bars aren’t the enemy when you’re running 90 mile weeks! :)

[@JapanJacques]

Love winter runs myself, summer is disgustingly hot and humid in Japan so the struggle here is getting out in June-September. Get after that 2:29 Eric! Aiming to break 3 myself this year (ran my first 90min half marathon last weekend)

[@MuseFoxs]

So stoked for another prep series, especially now that Clark has started YT, been waiting for such a long time on that! 😁👏 Hoping for some videos on how you tackle sleep nutrition and strength, missing the Floberg coaches group already, so great to have this as a substitute 🔥

[@kakanchiss2586]

When floberg posts , IM THERE !

[@stevencauser15]

You are a fabulous filmmaker.... So involving. Best of luck with this one, enjoy the ride 👊

[@firi_best_boi]

This came as a surprise for me, I thought you were gonna run Boston again lol. Good luck in your build I look forward to your future videos. I’ll be using them as motivation and inspiration for my own ambitious 2:35 attempt at Boston

[@AdrianNiveau]

Another great video Eric hunting for PRs

[@kengifford3714]

Let's Go! !!!! The power/ weight conversation needs a part 2.

Hoping to go into much more detail on what I do in the gym this go around and more beyond in the other series this year!!

As a fellow Chicagoan runner, these winter shots give me chills 💖

[@nepdk]

The hard days make you enjoy the easy days even more 👑 Let’s go!!

[@themeyerperspective]

It was definitely a game changer for me when I started eating enough. I finally hit my goal paces in my workouts and felt strong doing it!

[@lydius.]

So hyped for this series. Extra exciting since I will be running my first marathon on the 30th, one day after yours. Not quite as fast but I'm aiming to get sub 3.. let's go and get it. 🤘

[@young-spark]

Stay safe and injury free. Good luck Floberg!

[@flobergruns]

Thanks so much!!

[@choccyverstapilton]

Yes Eric, let’s go! Love your videos and glad to see your aiming high (again 😅) I’ve a decade or two on you but your videos are great motivation to get up at 4.30am in the ice and snow for the grind towards a Spring sub-3. You and Clark can push each other, let’s go 👊🏻 p.s. Champagne comes after the race… definitely not in place of gels/water 🥴

[@mattghills]

Epic goal mate - good luck!! Quick one - I'm coming off the back of a fairly major injury in 2023 and subsequent surgery (right ankle) in 2024. I'm officially back running (short and slow to begin), but i'm really curious to see a video and hear you talk more about how you manage injuries and niggles during training, thoughts and considerations, etc. Much love!

[@LocusPocus]

Let's grind brother! Can't wait to follow along with this!

[@yoama2001]

The rockland state course is one of the fastest in the country. I can definitely see you running 2:30 champ

[@raphaelmolliere1642]

So freaking ready to follow you for this new amazing goal !!!! GO ONE MORE ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@flobergruns]

Let's get it!!

[@AlexmacKnotty22]

Well well, its getting serious now! had a long 7am-6pm at uni. and had my run cut short due to timing. Have to make up for it tommorow. LETS GET THIS GOOING FLOBERG!!!!

[@alittleshepherd]

I just know I'm gonna absolutely bawl my eyes out when Panic Attack in a Michael's slowly fades in at the last episode of your future Chicago Marathon block video. Good luck in 2025!

[@topherjaynes]

We are so back!

[@R2PixelArt]

Babe wake up, Floberg dropped a new video!

[@nothing-q4u]

the unintentional comedy of you intently watching your videos killed me.

[@bensathre]

Colin and Myself as well as perhaps another person will be shooting for 2:30 at Grandma's. Looking forward to running with you.

[@Bryan_Gutierrez]

Excited for you bro. No doubt you’ll hit 2:30 this year. Btw see you at Grandmas in June!

[@StephanieLuff]

I just like that it rhymes 💁‍♀️

[@bennuathletics]

I'll be there looking to run sub-2:30 as well! We lined up together in 2023 at CIM. I ran 2:34 there. Looking forward to lining up with you again!

[@bencross323]

Excited for the new series, LFG, but also I have been super curious….I remember watching the 2:50 build series, and I remember how much of a toll the high mileage weeks put on you, your wife, your job, etc. You said in one of those videos that there was no way to have another build like that one with that much time commitment. But here you are successfully on your 4th build since then with much faster goal times. So I’m wondering what changed? How did you figure out how to make it all work? I’m not a marathoner but I am an active person with a full time job and two kids, and I want to find ways for myself AND my wife to find more time to do the activities we want to focus on. Hoping for any ideas or advice, and excited to see what you can do at such an interesting sounding race format! ✌️

[@tytorrance96]

U had me at the title, im here for it 🍿👀🤘🏾

Let's do this!!

[@aguilas583]

I can finally make a Floberg shakeout run come Grandma’s marathon time! 🎊 🎉

[@austinbrady]

Just did a winter run today. It sucks but it's such a mental win!

[@OsloVM60-64]

I have followed you for a while and I believe you can do it. And yes, I know a thing or two about running in the cold, so your analogy’s valid 👍

[@flobergruns]

Thanks so much! Are you based in Oslo?

[@OsloVM60-64]

@ Yes, I am.

[@philortman8139]

This loop format for a marathon would break me, mentally.

[@williamweber6751]

Another amazing video bro. From the hype intro to the ending quote. "What do all these ambitious goals mean if we don't love the sport of running, if we don't love the process of trying to become our best?"

[@flobergruns]

Thank you so much!! So many people fail to have a long-term mindset, and that's ultimately what it takes to progress in the marathon distance. Thanks for watching!!

[@Stefikp1122]

All the best Erik on your attempt 2:30 it’s definitely possible!!!!Just make sure you don’t run too fast so your head get spin around on that course lol

[@manog2105]

Yes Eric lets fucking go! I prime my 5k pr at the start of the year. Your turn, can’t wait for this shit.

[@thisisus1307]

We are also running this race 😊

[@JordanDGAF]

Luckily no snow in the Seattle area for me but plenty of rain and cold 🥶 the grind never stops, here’s to crushing goals in 2025 💪🏽

Honestly, that's much harder in my opinion. Rain and cold is such a horrible combo haha - Keep going!!

[@erikspencer4340]

It took me about 5 minutes looking on the race website that there are 2:30 pacers

[@jaerdahl]

how cold is too cold for you. This morning was -2F in my town and I decided to run my 11 miles on the treadmill inside. I usually don't want to be outside if it's under 20 degrees F.

[@Leeroy49]

It's not the only place that has that ;) but good luck there.

[@whatsgoodberto5426]

LFG!!

[@IamDannyM]

I Can’t emphasise enough what Clark said about calories. You need AT LEAST maintenance every day Eric. Eat back the calories you burn on those hard sessions. You’re not just eating to recover but also fuel for the next session. Add glutamine to G1M while you run, that amino acid is the one that gets used the most while running hard

[@sq082]

It might be tough when you end up lapping slower runners there could be a lot of traffic on a loop course and it will be hard to stay on the tangents

[@BlakeDavis42]

Let’s go! Sub 2:30 incoming!

[@samlr9083]

LFG ⚡️

My 🧠: it’s just 8 laps…. It’s just 8 laps.. how hard can that be? Hehee. 8 laps, one at a time. It’s better than counting to 26. 😂😂

[@lukemoore7365]

what weight do you usually end up running your marathons? or what weight have you been racing at in the past?

[@flobergruns]

I'm usually around 158-160lbs. 72-73kg - May be targeting more toward the 160-162 side this time with eating more throughout the block & hitting the gym. We'll see!

[@flobergruns]

I'm also 5'11' (180cm)

Why u don't run a marathon outside of u.s ?

[@flobergruns]

I've got 4 small kids, and I travel a lot for work, so I'm trying to push the international marathons for later in life. I may do 1 a year from 2026 on, but trying to keep far travel to a minimum to spend time with them! :)

[@vikingsruleU]

Instead of saying, "I have to run before work," I now say, "I get to run before work." The mornings in California are not as cold as those in Chicago, but it is still challenging to get going. It's a blessing to be busy, and I will embrace that mindset this training block. I am excited about this series!!

[@flobergruns]

Heck yes. That perspective change is everything. The fact that we're not injured and we get to train is something we often take for granted. Many who are injured look at what we're doing longingly while we battle to step out the door.
