[@JamisonMichael]

So proud of my cousin. He’s a good man 🥲

[@LuisBecerra79]

We are proud of you 2 Jami. 👍🏼 we miss you on KZbin, but what you are doing now is also super dope 🔥🔥🔥

[@GreyJedi17]

Jamison ! I miss you ! We miss you ! Glad you're safe and good 😊

[@seikodude]

Kofuzi is million times better than Kim Kardashian 😁 GREAT video Kore and good to see you back on KZbin!

[@cathynewyork7918]

Everybody is a million times better than Kim Kardashian. .... but yes, Kofuzi and Kori are both really awesome.

[@OmaRuns67]

I found Kofuzi not long before the Cherry Blossom 10 miler & had the privilege of meeting & running with him there! Very nice & humble!

[@FitRell360]

He's such a laid back guy. After following him for about 6 months I ran into him at the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler too. Had no idea he'd be there. Very giving if his time & I even got a selfie.

[@lordstalker93]

Man, im touched & sad when Michael said that he love selfies, because might be one day people would forget him & might be not care for what he’s doing anymore, soon & he does aware about that. I wish that day wont come to our beloved Mike. All the best for both of you, Kori & Mike. Love from Malaysia.

[@greynj13]

Running Channel GOATS..... Kofuzi, Ginger Runner, Ben Parkes, Kori! No particular order. Great work guys.

[@laurainthehaute918]

True! What’s common is a kindness. A generous vibe. ❤

[@kellybaker6353]

What Michael Ko has managed to do is take the infectious joy normally associated with trail running and brought it to the road world. That joy is what keeps people coming back again and again. Looking forward to your next video, Kori. Keep up the great work!

[@RodRunerr]

Kori reminds me of Brian Cox, you always leave me hungry, would love to see at least 20-30 mins long videos from you kori❤

[@laurainthehaute918]

You and Mike exemplify the generous and kind spirit that most runners are all about ❤

[@KoriRuns]

Wow! Really appreciate that, Laura!

[@tgarcia615]

I'm Kofuzi Fan from the Philippines,I started to run again because of him..I subscribe already to your channel bro More Power ❤

[@deathrican]

Ever since I started watching his stories n runs man is motivational n I enjoy it 💪🏼💪🏼

[@harishmohabir7420]

Kori, I love your content. Keep it up and bring on more stuff. I am going through your back catalogue at the moment as well and I still find it totally relevant. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.

[@RodRunerr]

Watching from Kampala Uganda 🇺🇬

[@mvzinn111]

Kori! I've been missing you! I really enjoy your content and more importantly, I think you're someone I'd like to meet and hang out with. Hope to see you more!

[@cathynewyork7918]

Kori, I enjoy your style. I wish you had time to do videos more often. I have watched several of your videos many times, especially the one where you seemed to be speaking directly to me about enjoying the races but not enjoying the grinding of the hard speedwork - you said "I'm not a grinder" -- and I'm not a grinder either. I relate to your videos. Thank you.

[@jaycoane6127]

Missed you Kori. Great work as always!

[@KoriRuns]

Thanks, Jay!

[@ABucc]

Great inspiration to runners everywhere.

[@JS-xn3dq]

I started watching GR initially and still do but Kofuzi has become my favorite Shoetuber!! 👍 🏃‍♂️

[@jaysingh05]

Thanks for this one Kori. Kofuzi def rocks and so do you. It’s like - I just started running one day. Then, the next day, I met Kofuzi and we became friends instantly. The day after that, he introduced me to yourself, and so the friend circle - this runner’s club of ours, keeps on growing…

[@philortman8139]

If I never find Kofuzi, I never run a marathon. Period.

[@Martin-kc1xj]

You're a very good interviewer! You have a natural way of making people at ease. Great content!

[@pickelbarrelofficial1256]

Man, I love this channel.

[@cathynewyork7918]

Me too! I wish Kori had time to do more.

[@khepri1664]

Binging Kori videos in prep for my first half marathon, and then i get blessed with a new video. :)

[@DownHillCol]

I was just thinking I need some Kori inspiration to get motivated again to get out running, so thought I’d missed a load of vids but sadly no I haven’t missed anything 😢 at least I have the Kori back catalogue to go through LOL. Hope all is well buddy and you and the family are happy and healthy.

[@fatdude4444]

always huge to see a new Kori post! love the content!

[@dale.gallaza]

Ginger runner inspired me to start run5 in 2013.. fast forward to post pandemic, kofuzi inspired me to comeback to running after years of not being able to go out and gaining a lot of weight..💪💪

[@letstudy2day]

you are cool too. love watching your video too mate. fan from Malaysia.

[@MihaiGoRunning]

Hey there, Kori! Kofuzi’s journey from lawyer to full-time running influencer is inspiring. It's amazing how he embraced this new path and connected with people worldwide. Great interview, Kori! Start posting again!

[@venkatpranesh9379]

hey bro u just made it more interesting and love to join you and kofuzi in a marathon ...support from India

[@FordyRuns]

He’s a rockstar no doubt 🤩

[@user-gv8wf8co6n]

Awesome 🤩 cannot wait to join one of your shakeout runs. How about Seoul in March ‘24? 😂😂

[@amircastilla07]

Thank you for another enjoyable video. A big fan from Belize. I want to commend you on the relaxed style and getting the best out of Kafuzi in such a natural way. Can't thank you enough.

[@RunnerWil]

Kori! glad you are back lol

[@veliborvasovicofajax5358]

Kofuzi..Good work !!!!!!!! Keep it up...nice to see how you have turned into a beast!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevemckellar4978]

Yes!! Finally. Great series! Looking forward to more content. Keep it up!

[@ThePsants]

Kofuzi is great. Thanks for sharing this.

[@parikshatghising]

I live in a tiny state in the north east part of India called Sikkim , and i have watched all his videos and it is quite inspiring. Cheers!

[@aidanoc19]

So true about leading the genre. I recently started enjoying the content put out by a still small channel by an English logger, Lark Running. I'd be amazed if he hasn't seen a lot of Kofuzi, he even signs off with 'see you on the next one.'

[@Shevock]

The first time anybody came up to me recognizing me from my KZbin was Steamtown Marathon last October. It is an unusual experience.

[@larrykisielius5725]

That was me!! Before the start.

[@Shevock]

It is a sign we have a beautiful but small community here in the amateur running world.

[@modifiedprogramjam4830]

King Kofuzi has lead me thru the concrete like Moses… parted the red plantar fasciitis! We doin it!

[@ZaahirJappie]

Black background, red t-shirt, good content.....perfect recipe!!!

[@eliasmunoz5284]

Damn this is great.

[@annettegohla8057]

Hey Kori, will there be a new video? I really like you chanel, and I am sure many others would love to see and hear more from you again as well. Or is there anything I've missed? Happy running from Germany!

[@macau.friend]

Did a shake-out run with Kofuzi in Tokyo back in March, and he was definitely a rockstar! Not to mention I was totally starstruck and fell into awkward silence 😂

[@erics7226]

Where'd you go!!!!

[@michaeltanel3815]

Kori man, you ok? Can we get a Sign of Life? Been a minute since we had a video!

[@cathynewyork7918]

Hi - It's Thursday evening - Oct 26 - Mr. G just said on tonight's news that you will be running the NYC Marathon. Will you be recording your run in a new video for us 'Kori Runs' subscribers? I hope so. I am also running the marathon on November 5, but I am a much slower runner than you are, so I will never see you. Good luck and have a great race.

[@cappox]

the right influencer

[@HoytMcBeth]

Kori, that “delicate” comment is ridiculous BTW. Maybe you’re honest, forthright, brave for sharing that something was really hard? And if we want to talk about delicate natures, are we really going to see the profile of someone who does long distance endurance races? Clearly, I’m annoyed, but more so, very glad to see another video from you.

[@cathynewyork7918]

Kori, on the Tuesday night 11 p.m. PIX 11 newscast, you and Mr. G had a brief banter about you doing a 15-mile run. You wisely said you wouldn't start the run "right now" (in the middle of the news broadcast!). Does talk about you doing a 15-mile run mean that you are now training for the 2023 NYC Marathon? If yes, will you be recording some videos of you training for it, and running the marathon? I hope so! I like your style better than many other runners on KZbin.

[@GreyJedi17]

I can safely say many many runners around the world , like Malaysia , are very influenced by Kofuzi

[@clarity2115]

Kori Runs No Mo?

[@exchangemigrate7951]

Kofuzi's old picture looks like a Korean sing named Park Hyun Bin 박현빈.. :)
