From hosting runners from around the world and then making this a “Fun Run” for yourself, you probably had the most fun at a race in a long time. It’s great to have events like this to keep you motivated and ultimately HAVE FUN!
My heart is full
This was my very first marathon as I only started running last year at 57 and kinda got hooked. I did the training and thought I was prepared. Wheels started coming off the train about 25K but the atmosphere kept me going until the end. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was sensory overload the entire time and was so cool it kept my mind off the running a bit. Took longer than I had hoped, was much harder than I anticipated, I’m so sore I can barely walk, but it was AWESOME! Thanks Kofuzi your videos have been helpful and inspirational while training.
Congrats! Start training for the next one.
congrats!!! compression socks are the best for soreness after long runs, highly recommend them!
Welcome to the club and congrats!
For future reference, from my experience with this particular marathon, I think that hitting a wall at around 25k comes from going out too quick. The lower Michigan part followed by the GPS killing valleys of the loop make pacing at the start really hard. At this point, I expect to run a fair bit slower than the crowd for those first 2-3 miles, letting people pass me up, then use the mile markers to lock in my pace, and then slowly pass people the rest of the race (this is the exact opposite of the first few times I ran it, where I would run _faster_ than the crowd, and then get passed the rest of the race).
@@dalegaliniak607 Maybe I was off on my pacing goal because I was a first timer but I was right on the pace I wanted up until that point. Right around there, the atmosphere of the crowd changed a bit and instead of being overwhelmed with everything, this was the first real time I started thinking “this is starting to hurt real bad” and I chose to walk. Once I got into the Pilson(?) neighborhood and China town, I started to get a bit of second wind but by then, my mind was telling me that I’m already off pace so it was “OK” to do the walk run routine, so I did. This just gives me plenty of room for improvement on my next one! Thanks for the encouragements.
Is it just me, or is this just a 26.2 mile victory lap by Kofuzi for setting his sub 3hr PR @Grandma's!! Way to go!! Awesome video!
He will have bigger goals in NYC
My thoughts exactly!
It was an amazing time running this race. I was to focused on running that I didn't have a way to relive this experience. Thank you for the video. I'm happy that I completed the Chicago Marathon this year. The crowed really was a magical part of this whole experience and I am grateful for everyone that was very supportive.
Ok, so watching this drinking a Diet Coke at McDonald’s and I have to say this is one of your most joyful videos ever. The moments you took during the run to stop and video selfies with groups of people made me so happy. Brilliant editing!!
True. Makes me wish a marathon would happen where i live.
Love the unity of people during this event.
What a freaking day!!! I suffered cramps at mile 23 so my pace got affected but overall amazing race. I want to thank the girl that at the final uphill gave me my last push. My legs were hurting i started to walk and she said "oh no girl, we got this don't stop now!" I don't know who you are, i don't know if you'll read this but thank you so much!!!
that is so sweet!!!
This is your best video by far, my dude. Loved to see you break 3 hours but was even more happy for you to see you run your hometown race with so much joy on your face - you were smiling in almost every clip! Reminds me of how amazing this race is, and makes me so excited for next year.
easily half an hour early if he got rid of those camera and just focused on task at hand.
It looked like lots of fun running a “comfortable” time and soaking up the atmosphere 😊
Yeah looked like the most fun one yet!
It looked like you were having so much fun in this race..more fun that in most marathons. Way to go!!
I’m pretty sure no one had more fun than me
That has to be the most joyous marathon video I have ever seen! Thank you Mike, I am sitting here smiling!
This is a masterpiece!! Thank you so much for creating this video so we can relive this epic race! Really awesome meeting you at the shakeout 🤙🏽
26.2 miles of smiles and fist bumps. maybe this is how all marathons should be run. congrats to your running buddy and you for being an excellent pacer & great friend!
Such a great video and such an amazing experience running Chicago to a 47 minute PR. You have a wonderful city and everyone was so great and encouraging on the course.
Awesome video. Not only were you able to help and support your friend, you showcased your hometown race like no one else could. This has got to be the best Chicago Marathon video out. You really captured the essence of the race and it was uplifting seeing your joy throughout.
How good is that energy !! Electrifying production, well done KOFUZI, really felt that one through my bones. I can't wait to run my very own marathon. Appreciate it!
Watched this one a few times. Been struggling with my running lately and this hit me right in the feelings. Thanks for what you do Kofuzi
Me too!!
This is truly a celebration of running. By far, the most inspiring video of yours!
Currently injured and this makes me really miss running! The support from complete strangers during a marathon is something special. Great video, thanks for posting!!
Congrats to your running buddy for reaching his goal. What a wonderful, happy and fun memento you have given him with this video. Found myself smiling the whole way through, glad you had so much fun out there. Chicago came out in force.
Chicago is so amazing! Thank you for putting on the best running content and inspiring so many people to get out and run! This was my first Chicago Marathon and certainly will not be my last.
I LOVED watching this. First of all, congratulations on a great race. Seeing the utter joy on your face has really got me enthused again. After a couple of years of finding running / motivation / positivity quite hard to come by I was beginning to question why I would put myself through the training and hard work again. BUT after watching your video I was reminded of the buzz running can give you. I was reminded of the atmosphere of race day. I was reminded of the community running can create. All of my runs - since watching this video - have been so much more positive. I keep remembering the smile on your face and that gives me an instant lift!!!! Brilliant video!
Was my first marathon. Had an absolute blast. I love my city ❤
Great vid Mike! You looked soo happy the whole time. This will motivate so many runners!
Thank you for capturing the moments, the city and the run. I'm so overwhelmed and so grateful that I've run Chicago 2022. My very first in-person marathon with finishing time of 3:18:31. I would watch this again and again to remember the streets that I ran two days ago. :D
Great job!!
3run2 clip is EPIC. LOL'd at the giant boxing gloves and am now wiping eye leakage. Outstanding.
Just watched your Chicago & NYC Marathon videos. This has convinced me to never set a time goal. You seem so full of joy. I feel like after all the months of training, I want my experience to be a celebration. An arbitrary time goal will never sour my race day experience. I’m running Pittsburgh In May and Marine Corp in October. I’m going to train hard and race day will be a celebration of all the effort.
Very inspiring capture of a city marathon 😍. Going for a fun run marathon allows for all those smiles both outside and inside. Well done, Mr. Ko! 💪🏼 :)
This felt like such a celebratory run! So beautiful
Everyone around me is dreaming about the big marathons in NYC, Boston, London, Berlin... but with every year and associated video coverage of Chicago Marathon, this has become my #1 dream marathon. Such a great event! Hoping to make it happen one day, been sidelined with runner's knee for months...
hope to see you soon
Chicago will always hold a special place in my heart as my first marathon. Your video really captured the magic and course support you get with the race. Great job !!
Mr Chicago smashing Chicago 👊 Own it baby! #myguy ❤ Absolute legend having the best day
Come out next year Fordy!
@@kofuzi I’m gonna try and make this happen it would be a dream although you would have to beef up your security as I would do some proper stalking 🤣🤣 #mancrush
Thank you for bringing us to the race. This was my first ever marathon which I ran in 2012 giving me not only my first ever marathon experience but a BQ as well. Had such an amazing experience; the spectators were the best part.
The crowd energy is phenomenal!
Unbelievable Chicago crowd support. Spectacular photography.
It looked like you had a wonderful, fun, enjoyable, race. Nothing else to be said but bravo and congratulations
I was there too! I ran my first full marathon with my fiance and I had so much fun. Perfect weather, great people to run with, and incredible spectators!! I cannot agree more. I also uploaded a video on my experience of the race, but I still come here and watch yours.
This year was my first marathon. Thanks for the videos. It was great watching you in previous races and this was a great recap to help remember the buzzz and blur of my first marathon.
When not gunning for a PB and just having fun, this is one of the best video from u
This was my first Chicago Marathon and I watched your tips video before the weekend. Came back to your channel to see how you did - looks like you had an amazing day! This video captured the experience perfectly - so much fun and so much support along the way!
The crowd and music on route in Chicago was by far the best I've experienced! Great video Kofuzi-v inspirational.
Well, that was a freaking delight. Man, I love Chicago.
Wonderful video--I definitely felt like I was there.
The entire scene at 5:30 brought a huge smile to my face 😁! Your video really captures the entire atmosphere of such a fun and memorable race! This was my first time running Chicago and it’s hands down my favorite marathon. What a magical weekend 🐻🍕🏙💨!
So awesome to see you had a good time out there while pacing a fellow runner! ❤️
Best running Fiesta I’ll ever been !!!
This guy made my heart smile !!! Can’t describe it !!!
Always love the way you package and present your race videos. It always gives me chill and make me want to wear my shoes and go for a run. Thanks, Kofuzi!
So cool running into you during the race yesterday!! You’re taller than I expected 😂
Killed it, even with taking shots, stopping for photos, and interacting with spectators along the way! This is the type of running I enjoy!
I must have watched this video about five times now, it's so inspirational! The fun, enjoyment and passion on everyone's face at 5:30 is such a great reason to do marathons. I'm doing the NYC Marathon in 2 weeks, hope to see you for your shakeout run there! Love these videos!!
I'm running Chicago this year, and I was sorta mentally hitting the wall with the training and losing motivation, and this video did the trick for me! Thank you. VERY excited for the race!
Good luck this year!
Your energy is unmatched it brings tears to my eyes LOL
Looks you really enjoy the run.. congrats and thanks for the awesome video. Always support ur channel 👍👍👍
Is it normal crying while watching this? Hahaha. Those runners, their hardwork and spirit, and the supporters... all are amazing!
yes
@@kofuzi thank you so much for all your videos Kofuzi :) really love it!
I cried and moved all the time. Thanks 😍
What fun to feel the marathon atmosphere through your footage, I loved it!
This is the BEST running video I've seen. Congratulations.
thank you
Like I've said before....Amazing race, amazing weather in an amazing city. I've run this race 3 times and it only gets better
Man, my wife says I'm not allowed to run another marathon due to almost dying of a heat stroke, but this video makes me want to run another! Absolutely fantastic!
Congrats to everybody that has braved this asome expirience at the Chicago marathon. Ive ben around your chanell when you just finished your first. This one you really enjoyed it. 💪🏻made me wanna go back. 🇵🇷
It brought back my memory of running the 2019 Chicago Marathon. Truly once in a lifetime kind of race. Thanks for the video!
Great vlog.
I just smiled all the way through.
Amazing coverage.
Kofuzi you drew energy from the crowd. Totally positive experience.
Thanks for posting this video. Chicago was my first marathon and I was so focused on finishing and getting sub 4, I didn’t really get to soak in everything. I ended up getting sub 3:55 and watching this made all the subconscious memories come flooding back. 🎉🎉
Kofuzi and the Chicago Marathon go together like water and the ocean. Let's Go Kofuziii!!
Amazing video! my wife and I love Chicago!! It was great meeting you at the shakeout run. I hope to be back soon. Oh and we love the kofuzi pizza shirt 😁nice surprise.
Pure, unbridled JOY!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your motivation... I wasn't able to do my plan A but I finished and I learned a lot from it... I hope to come back to that beautiful city and beat my time
I ran Chicago yesterday and that crowd is what pulled me through….absolutely amazing!! A top notch race in now my new favorite city. Thanks so much for this recap video to allow me to re-live those feelings that I had yesterday. Keep up the great work, good man!
Crowd was so important. They did such a good job!
This marathon video really felt like a celebration of Kofuzi’s running journey so far. Definitely inspired to me to run a major like this one day. No lofty goals and really just enjoy the run and literally everything that it offers.
Great video! My love affair with your city and race continues! Could not have asked for a better day, I needed this redemptive race after last year's disaster! Have to say, I wasn't a fan of the changes from 20-24. Seeing other runners to my left was a surprise as I prayed they were behind, not ahead of me... until I saw the mile 24 marker on the other side and I hadn't gotten to 23, lol. Needless to say, that was the longest mile of the day! As always, your love for the event bleeds into your videos which is why they are so great to watch, they successfully evoke the wonder and joy of the day! Great job! I STAN Kofuzi!
Yeah, they need to hide that mile 24 marker. I didn’t like that
There's so many ways to enjoy a marathon, and you did at least fifteen of them including the malorts 😂. Awesome race!
Thanks Docs!
This is so awesome. I had a ton of fun just watching the video. This is basically the best advertisement for running I've ever seen.
We should do more races together
@@kofuzi next up NYC!
Pqp, vídeo cabuloso. Fantastic. Brilliant editing. Not worry with the pace or time, just for fun and video. Absolutely amazing. Cheers dude 🇧🇷
Such a magical experience...you help me relive the race all over again. Thanks for making this AMAZING video.
Loved this video! You finished ahead of me but so great to relive this race, what a day! amazing energy, thank you for making these!😻 Affirms how much I love marathoning!!!!!
Great video, Kofuzi! Gotta admit I got kinda misty eyed on this one. Something about the energy and atmosphere you captured was perfect. Has me stoked to attempt my first full marathon in Charlotte, NC in about a month!
Good luck in this last month of training!
@@kofuzi thank you! Hoping all the hard training will pay off!
Your energy is contagious! You definitely lifted the tired spirits of the people around you. (Minute 6)
That looked like way too much fun to be a marathon.
Love how you made this a "fun run", focusing on the experience rather than your time. What fantastic joy-filled footage! I bet you made 1,000's happy that day.
The delight you seem to get from running is so contagious - you make me want to put my shoes on and hit the park! Great video K-man. Keep enjoying yourself 👍
It was so fun watching your Chicago Marathon experience in 4K quality. I got to see other runners and spectators and I was glad you were having such a great time without the pressure of a PR.
Looks so fun! Never ran a marathon, but planning to after watching this 🤙
miles 8 and 9 and the aid stations over there with the DJ are the best for spectating!! I had so much fun cheering all the runners this year and I'm glad you had such a good time
I love watching your videos, you do a great job! Looks like you were having so much fun! As the matter of fact, I thought "I wonder if Kofuzi is here!" when I ran the thing Sunday :)
Oh my God Kofuzi you are amazing so much joy and no selfishnes or finiish time focus just pure happy to race and have a great race and feeling for the spectators- Wauw. Inga Dk.
Feel like I am with you running Chicago Marathon! So epic, fun, and touching!!!
Great vid, really felt the good energy! Hope 2023 is just as good
This video was a blast, you're the best man
You had too much fun, just too much fun sir. Also enjoyed that you showed the clip of coughing on some aid station drink haha. 🍻
Malort shot! Shades of the Ten Junk Miles podcast coming through there. Congratulations to you and everyone else who finished Chicago.
Congratulations! I didn't PR at Chicago, but I had my most consistent marathon to date with no wall. I remembered what you said about pushing through that final out and back. Glad you had a great race.
Man, I gotta run races like you do! Looks like you are having a blast with all the crowd yelling and cheering.
I am having a blast
Love this. Well done man. So cool stopping for all the selfies! x
thanks so much!
Nice video...pumped up for 2023 watching this!

Sweet home Chicago! Thanks for sharing your experience!
OMW what a brilliant video - you encompassed what running is all about. Thank you soo soo much for this - smiled the whole way through.
You caught up to a lot of TH-camrs i follow

PS: 30k and youre still like in starting line. Booster Star did good. It's nice that youve stopped and took a moment w the crowd.
Try to have a little fun out there next time Kofuzi! 🤣🤪🥳 Seriously - it's nice to just put a fun run in the books sometimes!
Love this guy !!!
He is AWESOME !! Keep the good vibe ❤️
What an epic video! I did Chicago too and this really encompasses the entire day. Thank you for sharing - I did not carry my phone with me so I could not document the day. Well done!
I've never ran a marathon without attempting to race it, your video makes enjoying it look better than racing!!!
Highly recommend a low pressure marathon
