Thanks for all your support in the build up to this one! Massive result for me & the channel, and should result in some more support from brands moving forward... meaning better videos! Do me a favour and give Charlie's page a follow on Instagram: instagram.com/1609.studios/ 👍🏼👊🏻

[@charliemccarthy7996]

a dangerous combo🤝🏻

[@ColeRunning]

Charlie is as good at editing as Callum is at running. Elite partnership 🤝🏻

[@the.distanceproject]

His editing is great but his storytelling is on another level. Knows what to shoot, how to shoot it & has a vision of how he wants the video to flow. Loads of people can edit but this is a proper unique skill!! Gold medal storyteller 👏🏼

[@ColeRunning]

@@the.distanceprojectI’m not embarrassed to say that despite knowing the result, I still found that an emotional, engaging story. Whether it’s cringy or not to say, truly inspiring.

[@the.distanceproject]

@ColeRunning thank you mate, glad you enjoyed! Super cool to have Alice there & have it all on video that we’ll have forever. Doesn’t get much better than that! 🙌🏻

[@ColeRunning]

@@the.distanceprojectdamn straight. Congrats lad.

[@_Tp__]

we love the distance project!!

[@TheFODRunner]

You have gone next level this year 👏 I can’t wait to see what happens in 2024! Massive kudos to Charlie as well for the edit 🔥

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks mate!

[@markbateman9222]

Closing the gap? A massive step towards that closure! You have to be pretty pleased with that. Don't think the time is all that relevant on the road; what really matters is the number of very good guys you beat. Really good job!

[@the.distanceproject]

100% -- championship racing is for titles and not times, but I'll still take the PB!!

[@TomHigham14]

Fun edit, huge congrats, and so happy for you! Was great to meet Alice a bit in this, and love how you keep it fun - running doesn't need any more overly serious training week recaps, jesus they're boring - but this was ace! Olympics next, it's coming 🙌

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks mate! I love the detail but understand it’s not the most entertaining, so tend to keep that to myself!

[@lankysam]

Absolutely bonkers time Callum so proud great road mile bro you are a huge inspiration to me and so many other runners. Well done ❤

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@MrAllybell]

Congratulations, knew the result going into this but still emotional watching

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks a lot! Glad you still enjoyed it 🤠

[@johnnelson5929]

Congrats dude! Was watching and saw you in the race. Was cheering you and Hobbs on. Glad to see you do great!

[@the.distanceproject]

You picked the 2 right horses then!! Thank you mate 👍🏼

[@JadeGoesRunning]

Mate, this edit is next level. The juxtaposition of the different film-type qualities perfectly encapsulates this entire series. Kudos to Charlie if this was intentional, but if it wasn’t, damn it’s a great coincidence. An absolutely stellar performance to top off an incredible season, can’t wait to see what you do next. Thanks for always staying humble and for speaking the truth about this sport. I felt super stoked watching this live and screaming my house down watching you pull into that front row, I felt even more emotional watching this edit. Keep doing what you’re doing. People like you are what this sport needs back home!

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks for all the support 🫶🏼

[@charliemccarthy7996]

It actually was intentional! Thank you for noticing haha :)

[@JadeGoesRunning]

@@charliemccarthy7996 I’m glad my assumption was correct - it worked really really well. I read one of Callum’s comments earlier on that you’re great at storytelling and I whole-heartedly agree 🫶🏻

[@bondboy0563]

Congratulations on such an amazing preformance along with the British Record! Inspiring to see everything come together for Callum; especially on the big stage. Keep up work hard work!

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you!! 👊🏻

[@TheWelshRunner]

Finally catching up on this. Fantastic run. Incredible video. Congratulations again on a huge achievement. Well done to Charlie on a top video too. Loved it.

[@the.distanceproject]

Well done Callum. Very impressive 👏

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you!

[@MrAsthenia]

@@the.distanceproject I always enjoy hearing your in depth breakdown of your race; it's refreshing to listen to someone who doesn't talk in cliches. Keep up the good work!

[@the.distanceproject]

really appreciate that! @@MrAsthenia

[@mason7642]

this video was awesome

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you 🙌🏻

[@MattRHD]

What a video! Big shouts to Charlie putting this together 💪

[@the.distanceproject]

Here here. Thanks for watching mate!

[@malcolmcornelius7215]

What an amazing result! You have come so far in such a relatively short time. Has been great following your journey, and clearly not done yet. All the best from NZ 💪😃🇳🇿

[@the.distanceproject]

Appreciate the support! Hopefully more to come

[@AbramoSalvestrin]

I red the result in an Italian sport website and thougth: "is it THAT Elson? The one I follow on youtube?". It was incredible. The gap is closed, now you can go to whatever start line and think you can win. Well done!

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you!! There’s only one Elson 😉

[@aarijkhan8093]

ABSOLUTE CLASS! Awesome to see behind the scences (great videography from Charlie) and been a pleasure to follow along this season Callum! All the best for the future, always supporting you!

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks for your support!

[@jackkellam3987]

Only just discovered the channel, but genuinely some of the best sport content I've seen on here - congrats on a big result! 🎉

[@the.distanceproject]

Welcome aboard! 🫡

[@mrjonnylowes]

Well done buddy, big stride forward that in terms of level of competition, great result too.

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks a lot 🤝

Superb video

[@Stevenc1984]

Incredible performance and sensational video, hope you left the eBay seller positive feedback ✅

[@the.distanceproject]

Hahah consider it done!

[@liamward8451]

Congratulations! Amazing performance, well deserved. Content is top tier 🤝

[@the.distanceproject]

Cheers man!

[@hcoxrr]

What an incredible video and what a great story you're continuing to tell in our sport. While I watch a ton of races, I rarely watch any athlete content or behind-the-scenes stuff. But after several of my athletes recommended it, I had to give it a watch. When I first saw you race at BU in 2022 I thought I saw some wild upside, and its been a blast watching you chase that potential and close the gap to the world's best. You're incredible for the sport and I still think this is only the tip of the iceberg for what you can accomplish. Cool hearing my voice in the Penn clip too, glad you put it to good use!

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks man. Appreciate the support you gave all that time ago & hope you can eventually have a “I told you so” moment when I do something big!! 🫡

[@ZuhairKhan]

Started watching from the beginning, and the build up to this was definitely worth it. P.s. Charlie's got to give me some editing lessons cuz WOW what a video

[@the.distanceproject]

Glad you enjoyed it man!

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

What a f**king legend mate, so well deserved. You’ve got a fan in me for sure. Hope to catch you at the town & gown on Sunday for a solid handshake & a selfie.

[@the.distanceproject]

Of course 🤝🤝

[@RanToJapan]

Absolute weapon, what a run mate! 🙌

[@the.distanceproject]

Cheers mate, hope Japan is treating you well 🙌🏻

[@joebelshaw2535]

Absolutely class! Enough said

[@the.distanceproject]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it (and are watching it so soon after release!)

[@MrScottythegoalie]

Best video yet. It was a fantastic achievement, a great year and only more to come.

[@the.distanceproject]

Hopefully more!! Thanks for watching 🤝

[@Casey_Atkinson]

Been watching this channel from the beginning, amazing to see the progression up to this moment, well done!

The SOAR kits look really good on you, but the Team GB is even sweeter, well done mate!

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you 🫡🫡

[@Leeroy49]

That was a very calm step on the podium for a man who just closed the gap :)

[@the.distanceproject]

One day !!

[@TumoRuns]

Having followed from what feels like the start, it’s incredible to see the progression you’ve made; not just with your times, but your whole mindset. You’re on a different level now. You’ve even got your own Wikipedia page ffs 😂 but the journey you’ve been on has really shaped you, and you’re not done yet. Also, Charlie - fucking superb work. Standout stuff again. Get Alice her own show, “that’s some king shit right there” top tier. Get Callum a shoe deal FFS

[@the.distanceproject]

hahaha thanks mate!

[@liamwaldron7885]

Good ebening😭

[@ChrisDrysdale16]

Cracker result & and a beezer video. Great combo and good job mate!

[@the.distanceproject]

Cheers mate! 🤝

[@laurenmillyx]

If you don’t get a pro contract by the end of the year then I don’t know what has happened in the running world 😮😮

[@the.distanceproject]

Watch this space 👀

[@fionnbracken]

Great achievement. Curious as the why eg. the 5th avenue mile isn't counted as WR

[@the.distanceproject]

It’s net downhill in elevation and the start/finish is not within a close enough proximity. Same as other point-to-point races like the Great North Run, which don’t count for any records 👍🏼

[@fionnbracken]

@@the.distanceproject thanks for explaining!

[@tqwolf6330]

Go algorythm

[@robinbauer1975]

Cheruiyot really had a awfull race poor bro Congrats anyways

[@the.distanceproject]

Thank you
