A 1 hour elliptical whilst watching this recap is a great investment in my time. Congrats - wonderful recap.

Man, been following you since your NO:TIME series and you have been just such an inspiration. Was losing my mind when I saw you break the 2:30 barrier. I think my favorite part of this video, however, is your recollection of praying before the race. My family also has been bumping "God I'm Just Grateful"! Your boldness to talk about your faith confidently is refreshing, so keep doing you man and make sure to stay off any forums! You deserve nothing but love man

I thought “no way I’ll sit down and watch this entire 1+ hour recap of this race I didn’t run”. I was wrong. Great storytelling, Eric. I have the same obsession with running and over analyzing and optimizing everything in a race. Glad to see you had success when you let that go just that little bit.

Also love that dedication you have to your family. Wouldn’t have mattered if you didn’t hit your goal. But YOU DID. Congrats!

Living here in Boston, it’s been a goal of mine to qualify for the marathon for years. I just ran a comfortable 2:58 this past weekend and for the first time it feels like that dream is finally within reach. Floberg, it’s creators like you that tell all of our stories through film, to enjoy all of the early grinding and early wake ups can lead to something beautiful in the end, thank you!

It was an absolute pleasure seeing you on the course at the start of Beacon St!! Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Hitting the poor kids power boost sign, I died laughing at that part 😂

Love this, the detail is fantastic. I can totally relate to the mid-marathon emotion, its like half euphoria and half on verge of bursting into tears. I kind of love it. Huge congrats on the race 🏃‍♂️💪

Just now finished this video. I wanted to get the whole picture, so I started watching from the beginning of your videos. Loved following all the hard work you put in. Wish I had started watching years ago. Congrats on hitting this amazing goal!

Just ran the Pittsburgh Marathon and my legs blew up at mile 20. Horrible result compared to my goal. Your videos like this continue to motivate and I can’t wait to attack the marathon distance again. Thanks for the motivation.

Thank you so much for these videos. Enjoy a very well deserved break. It’s been an absolute pleasure following your journey. You’re an inspiration 🙏🏻

A new hour+ long video from Floberg?! Oh we’re eating GOOD tonight

I ran Chicago last year and broke the sub 2:50 with 2:49:53. I thought it was impossible. The thing i miss the most when PR's happen, is to have someone to hug and celebrate at the end. It's nice to see the group at the end. To have that time with family&friends. Because i usualy go alone to races i don't have that chance. Cheers from Portugal. 💙💛🦄

Hey man,
I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve watched this video probably 5 times now and I’ve learned so much lol

Yesterday, I tried the front loading carb strategy in my marathon and I finally broke 3 hours for the first time! 2:59:57!

Thanks for inspiring me as a runner and as a dad. I love that you put your family before work and that you put God first and are not afraid to show it.

I looked up that song you mentioned and I’ve had it on repeat since you posted this video. My wife and kids love it too.

Anyways, thanks for keeping it real. I’ve learned a lot from you. I got a 5:03 buffer for Boston yesterday. It may not be enough but I’m so grateful for the performance that I was blessed with.

I’ve considered hiring a coach. I need to refocus on the family for a moment but if I need a larger buffer for a marathon next year I may hit you up.

Thanks man!

It's been so wonderful watching your journey, watching the hard work and effort, the knock downs and seeing you pick yourself up time and time again. You did it. You're a 2.29 marathoner!
