@flobergruns The whole time when race started, went straight to the app and track you the whole race. Every mile pace was on point, planned perfectly and smooth. There were hills obviously but you didn't let it take you, 6:30 on them was amazing. Last 3-4, I bet it was tough, heartbreak hill and more. Still after all that, managed to get 2:38 and PR at Boston is something that would've been a dream. It was reality. I was crying when I saw the time, all that when I was dealing with COVID. If you can read this, CONGRATULATIONS Eric. Cheers to many more PRs and racing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I will never be a professional athlete that plays in a super bowl or game 7 of the NBA finals, but the atmosphere from marathoning is a sensation like no other and videos like this make me wanna push even harder to have the opportunity to race Boston with the best of the best
Exactly! I win my age group in Southern California by 20 minutes... Go to Boston and get beat by 2000 runners. So awesome being there. Go get that BQ, you'll never regret it!
Was watching you during the race on the app and wore out my voice going "COME ON GO GO!" when your little dot got withing 200 meters of the finish. Saw your results pop up and you were sub 400th and just lost my mind cheering again! Dude you are so motivating and inspirational. This may sound odd, but during this training block series it felt like you fell in love with the monotony of consistency and reaped the rewards. This internet stranger is so proud of your hard work.
You’re gonna make me cry. You hit the nail on the head. I grew to love the monotony, knowing it would pay off, and wow. It PAID off. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Got me all emotional in a little Chicago restaurant rn.
Honestly could not be happier and prouder of someone who I have never met. Have enjoyed this entire series and your journey since I found your channel last year. Bang on!
Congrats on a solid training block and race. I finished just behind you in 2:39 and used you and Matt as a gauge for the first half or so. I’m excited to see what comes next for you!
What a journey! I ran Boston last year. Crossing that finish line was a peak life event. This video was nostalgic and made me tear up. You worked so hard and deserve to celebrate this, Eric.
I ran with your pack for a bit (bib 628, min 2:25). I was wondering how someone could be GoProing, but so thankful you guys did. It was awesome to relive this (even if it was extremely painful). Fun to run with you guys and congrats on the finish.
What more can I say than WOW!! You are truly an inspiration for a lot of us dad runners dude. I've told you several times over the internet how much your talents mean to me and I will tell you one day in person BRAVO!!!! & THANK YOU!!!!!
Just over here crying when watching someone I've never met cross the finishine. Absolutely incredible. I'm saving this for motivation on mornings that I don't feel like going on a run. Can't wait to keep watching you!
Started following you stuff a couple weeks back cause I saw you wanted to break 2:35:00 and so did I. I think you captured the journey of marathon training perfectly throughout your videos. Some days you feel on top of the world. Some days you don’t even feel like putting the shoes on, but at the end of the day it’s all worth it on race day. Wish I had noticed I was running next to you as I was clowning for the camera at 1:34 so I could show love for the content but hopefully this comment will do! Congrats on the fantastic race and know you have a fan here rooting for all your future success!
Eric, this is fantastic. I did my first marathon in October in Amsterdam in 4:25. Im going for 3:45 this year I hope. Your an inspiration for people like us wanting to get faster
Amazing job out there! That heat was brutal to everyone. Still got a new PR. Watching this, I can't wait to go one day - hoping in Chicago I can get that PR AND a BQ. Loved seeing this!
Eric, I've been following your entire running journey from the start and wow - what a race. This is one you can be so, so damn proud of! Beyond excited for the next season, but for now, I hope you soak in all the good energy and realize what you've accomplished - because Eric, that is HUGE!
The first half of the video is insane. As good as it gets. Now I have something to send to my friends when they ask me about “What does Boston Marathon feel like”
Absolutely inspiring! Thank you for inviting us into your journey. We are soaking up this content because it's nailing the target of an authentic, persevering, relatable story. I'm going for my own PR in 10 days at the Eugene Marathon! LET'S GO!
Best race blog I've seen this year. Looking forward to the recap and the deep dive. I can picture Floberg lining up at the Olympic trials in 4 years. Let's go!!
That "2:30 Project Teaser" with Jeff's voice at the end... Man, I haven't been so excited since first Phantom Menace trailer. Congratulations and thank you for being inspiration for me and many others.
Bro thank you for documenting this journey. I know you hear it often but it is so inspiring to see you grind day in and day out with humility and class. Your dedication has motivated me at 43 years of age to keep grinding to make my Boston dream a reality. Keep laying those bricks and can’t wait to see what’s next ✌🏾
My first marathon is two weeks away, your videos are so inspirational and the entire training block has been great for my own. This one will be on repeat until race day! Congratulations!
Isn't it just incredible that people like Matty offer to help pace and also help create content for videos like this. I've done it a few times for friends at Melbourne Marathon ( here in Australia ) and although you were close this year ) it's an amazing feeling documenting these journeys so that people like yourself can have these moments for us and more importantly for you.. What I hear ( and I'll most likely never be able to run Boston ) is that it is a fairly brutal course and over the years how much the weather can change.. I had a 2hr 30 dream that was looking quite close to becoming reality for next weekend ( Ballarat Marathon ) but due to a bad case of the flu and really hitting me hard, I lost all the focus and determination to even try. I'll just go for the atmosphere and joy and chase that dream another day. Absolutely inspiring video Eric and I love seeing this sort of video coming together.. Thank you.. Best of luck for the future and running.. Look forward to following along..
Congrats Eric! I don't think I've ever felt this happy towards a stranger who runs 26.2 miles for the fun of it. I was so distracted at work tracking you on the app, and just cheering silently. I'm running my very first Marathon at Twin Cities in October, and am 3 weeks out from starting my training block. I'm incredibly inspired, honestly to the point of tears. Keep crushing it dude! I can only imagine what that 2:30 Marathon project is gonna be like!
Truly Awesome!!! You made me cry again, just like the Chicago 2023 video! It's soo great reliving the day and course through your videos!! Great work Eric and can't wait to see you crack 2:30!! Let's Goooo!!!
i'm 38 days out from my first marathon in buffalo at the end of may. this race video gets me so psyched and emotional thinking about how good it's gonna feel to finish what i set out to get done over the last year. on my own journey to hit a sub 3 hr marathon one day and watching your channel and progression inspires me so much. thanks for the great content
LFG random internet friend, good luck with your sub 3 long term gol. I ran a 1:47 half marathon in October of 22 and want so much to tackle a full length soon. Congrats on your courage!
Today, I had my final workout before taper for an upcoming Half. 5 miles at goal Half Marathon pace. Goal was to average 8:00/mi. I averaged 7:40s. Come race day, I'll have run nearly 1000 miles since my last Half Marathon in Oct 2023. 1000 miles since I went out too fast and failed to beat my PR of 1:53:50. In 9 days, I'm confident I'll be smashing that PR. I've been following your channel for over a year and your channel has definitely kept me motivated through the hard days. Thanks for putting yourself out there and amazing job at Boston!
Hey man great video and congrats. This felt super relatable as someone there too. I was aiming for a sub-2:40 time and the heat got to me too. I finished 2:48 with a fair amount of walking. But watching you go through the same with a positive attitude is super encouraging. Faster days ahead!
I love you men. Was tracking your whole race, my heart was racing! You made this so real, congrats on the channel. At the end of the day, racing is the most magical way of telling stories. Thank you for sharing yours and inspiring so many people.
Bro I’ve been following you for probably a year and a half now, trying to explore my own running journey in that time as well. I teared up multiple times in this, feeling the emotion from the crowd and seeing you react to it reminded me of everything that I love about running. I’m running my debut marathon in a month and will definitely be thinking of this video on the start line
Dude!!! You killed it! I enjoy your vids and your humble nature. You deserve to be proud of this accomplishment!! What a support crew you had! Thanks for making fantastic content!
Inspirational doesn't do enough justice to describe you man! You motivate me to grab my camera, get out there, and run. Rain, shine, cold, hot, windy, doesn't matter. Proud of you and stoked for what's to come. You're gonna crush Boston next year! Go One More baby!!
This is the first video of yours I've watched and the last few minutes made me tear up big time. Running my first marathon next week, this moved and motivated me so much 🙏
Damn, been watching every episode of this series while training for my own marathon pb, was able to smash a 3.14 2 weeks ago, your videos got me through man. Next year gonna aim for that sub3! Thanks for the inspiration, keep up the amazing work! Can't wait for the next series, but enjoy the post marathon-high and some well deserved time off!
You should know something, Eric. The marathon is a very selfish and lonely sport: you run alone, racing the clock/your set goal, hours of being inside your head with nothing to do but listen to your thoughts, battling yourself, the inner struggle of mind over matter. BUT you INSPIRE so many other people, the people around you, your followers who you’ve never met, you show people that it’s a fight and the struggle is not unique to them. Sometimes we don’t achieve a set goal and that could be considered a “failure,” but some, like yourself, show that it’s nothing more than a learning experience and something to build on for next time. Keep going man. And thank you for inspiring me to reach for higher goals.
Floberg has become the name synonymous with marathon running and training videos. These are so incredibly well done. For what it's worth, I was thinking that effort was a 2:33 - 2:34 if it was Chicago marathon conditions. So so so impressive. Can't wait for more videos. Maybe you'll do Grandmas in June?!
A big congrats Eric! My wife and I both ran and it was a hard day! I know many runners that fell short of their goals. You can be proud of the big effort! I hope you left as I did with a deep gratitude of what running has meant to me and joy for the way the race brings together so many people. I’ll be there with you aiming for the next one! We appreciate you!
Such an incredible journey. Happy to see it documented for future generation of runners as well. Had me cheking splits in the other part of the world and severel time zones away. Looking forward to summer :)
By far the best running content and series i've head the pleasure of following along with. Kudos to you and Cyrus on making passionate content great again, Floberg! Can't wait until the next one.
Huge congrats!! It was a hot day! I was a spectator for my wife who ran a 3:30.Her goal was 3:20,she felt strong but the heat got to her! You are an inspiration! Hopefully we see you at another marathon! I think Boston is a really hard course to set PBs with all the various elevation changes! Keep it up!
Congrats on a perfectly executed race on a less than perfect day. It was warm out there and the hills are always waiting, but you nailed it. Enjoy some rest!
Eric, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. i teared while watching this and am inspired with what you are doing. i knew you since photography days thru mango street, and gosh you are running like a boss now! hope you do visit Singapore someday and would love to show you around. till then!
Awesome video of the race brought back so many memories. I ran my first ever Boston this week and really struggled from around 15 miles. But to see this video and to see that even someone running much faster than I did had issues with the heat makes me feel so much better. Well done on 2.38. Great time. I was nearly an hour behind. I had goals too and was aiming for a top 25 in my age category but end up at 197th! Next year….
Eric, I've loved watching this entire journey. Followed you with the BAA tracking, cheering you on from home during the race. I'm running Grandma's as my first marathon this year, with a major contributing factor being your own journey that you've shared, along all of these years. Thank you for your dedication to capture and deliver all that you have for all of us to watch consistently. Super proud of you buddy.
Top notch as always. Can't wait to hopefully see an attempt at sub 2:30hr at Chicago, and marathon gods willing, I'll make it to the start line myself to see it.
Way to go Floberg! I tracked you from Seattle, cheering and praying the whole way. I’m a nurse, 64 and 4x Boston Marathoner with Crohn’s disease. I know what it takes to leave it all out there grinding in the heat, pushing all the way. IMPRESSIVE run! So proud! Go get it Eric! YOU are the shit! Seattle loves you!
I was bib 1072, one away from you, and had a similarly nearly perfect training block like you. But the heat got to me early and I slowed from 6:00’s to 6:20’s after just 15k to finish with a 2:46. You absolutely killed it, a million congrats for executing exactly what I wanted to do. You had the perfect race 🎉🎉🎉
This was so inspiring! I found your channel when I was training for my first half last year, and being a student here in Boston watching you run one of the biggest marathons in the world was such a motivating thing. Keep up all your hard work, bro!
Amazing. Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration and my favorite TH-camr. You have taken my favorite topic - marathon running and apply incredibly high quality video, audio, and story telling on top of being an amazing runner. Can’t wait for what’s next!
Congrats!!! That was an amazing effort and an amazing video! Thank you for sharing with us...I run the race with you virtual just now! I really felt it and enjoying it!!!
Excellent grit and dedication! That was definitely a faster performance on a flatter and cool course. You showed up and showed out in spite of the circumstances, great job! Plenty more greatness to come.
I run a 4.29 marathon but my god you inspire me SO much! This video was beautiful, I cried watching you give it your all. As I chase my sub 4, I'm cheering for you and your 2.30. Go Eric, goo!!
Eric heck of an effort out there and i agree with coach, if you ran that race in CHI in 23 with that weather its no doubt under 2:35. I was in CT visiting family and went for a trot and was in shock at how hot the sun was Monday even for this FL boy so i can attest it got toasty out for sure not ideal but in the end you did not let the marathon beat you. Great job
You are a king among men at this moment Eric. Hats off for an amazing effort and also the generosity you have in documenting it all for us to be able to enjoy. 👏👏👏
lets flipping go floberggggggg, you did that! got so pumped and emotional just watching this. as always, thank you for sharing and inspiring us. lets be about it
This is the video I needed before my marathon this Saturday. I’m sitting here choked up and fired up at the same time. Thank you for the amazing, inspiring journey, Eric! Ready to see you do it again!
Im so happy I followed along on this journey and found your page when I did. Wish I was able to be in Boston and HOLLER at you. Congrats on the journey and the process Floberg thats all that matters. 3 more mins on your goal doesn't mean shit VS the athlete this block formed you and is forming you into! all the love man
Sunday morning I stepped outside and felt the heat in Wisconsin and wondered if Boston would be as warm Monday. Great job on a warm Boston after training through a rather cool March in the Midwest.
This video gave me goosebumps 😢 experiencing that great day once again through your lens. It was a tough one! Thanks so much for inspiring and huge congrats to your accomplishment 🎉
Congrats on the accomplishment. Really enjoyed watching the training leading up to Boston. Helped push me in my own training as I just completed my first Half Marathon this past Sunday in Jersey City. Cheers! Keep killing it.
extremely well done. was tracking you the whole time and was getting so excited for you. time goals don’t tell the whole story. you did good and should be extremely proud of yourself just as we all are of you. you inspire me and countless other people. i’ve simultaneously been working on my own marathon build and your boston 235 videos meant everything to me. i’m going to run the race next week. this race video gets me so excited. great job cyrus and matt fox for the video.
![MOVING STILL - The Running, Art, & Life of Joe Greer [Documentary]](/img/n.gif)
these race films are insane, it's almost like you should make a full-length documentary or something
lol
@flobergruns The whole time when race started, went straight to the app and track you the whole race. Every mile pace was on point, planned perfectly and smooth. There were hills obviously but you didn't let it take you, 6:30 on them was amazing. Last 3-4, I bet it was tough, heartbreak hill and more. Still after all that, managed to get 2:38 and PR at Boston is something that would've been a dream. It was reality. I was crying when I saw the time, all that when I was dealing with COVID. If you can read this, CONGRATULATIONS Eric. Cheers to many more PRs and racing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
*hint hint*
*nudge nudge*
You looked cool man💪💪💪 like from Sydney
I will never be a professional athlete that plays in a super bowl or game 7 of the NBA finals, but the atmosphere from marathoning is a sensation like no other and videos like this make me wanna push even harder to have the opportunity to race Boston with the best of the best
Exactly.
Well said!
YUP! Exactly. So so good.
What about a baseball player playing in game 7 of the World Series?
Exactly! I win my age group in Southern California by 20 minutes... Go to Boston and get beat by 2000 runners. So awesome being there. Go get that BQ, you'll never regret it!
Was watching you during the race on the app and wore out my voice going "COME ON GO GO!" when your little dot got withing 200 meters of the finish.
Saw your results pop up and you were sub 400th and just lost my mind cheering again! Dude you are so motivating and inspirational. This may sound odd, but during this training block series it felt like you fell in love with the monotony of consistency and reaped the rewards. This internet stranger is so proud of your hard work.
Exactly us tooo😊
You’re gonna make me cry. You hit the nail on the head. I grew to love the monotony, knowing it would pay off, and wow. It PAID off. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Got me all emotional in a little Chicago restaurant rn.
That project 2:30 teaser at the end!😍😍 Congratulations on this 2:38 Eric! Well deserved!
Thank you so much!!
Honestly could not be happier and prouder of someone who I have never met. Have enjoyed this entire series and your journey since I found your channel last year. Bang on!
Ah, thank you so much! Means the world!!
To be honest the music and affirmational wordings left a slight cringe feeling.
@@dimitar297only way I know how 🕺🏻
Congrats on a solid training block and race. I finished just behind you in 2:39 and used you and Matt as a gauge for the first half or so. I’m excited to see what comes next for you!
Incredible!! Love hearing all these stories after the race! Congrats on an incredible time on such a tough day.
What a journey! I ran Boston last year. Crossing that finish line was a peak life event. This video was nostalgic and made me tear up. You worked so hard and deserve to celebrate this, Eric.
So happy it brought back the memories for you!!!
Heart of the community of runners is amazing and never ceases to amaze me. Yes, I cried watching...incredible journey!
I ran with your pack for a bit (bib 628, min 2:25). I was wondering how someone could be GoProing, but so thankful you guys did. It was awesome to relive this (even if it was extremely painful). Fun to run with you guys and congrats on the finish.
What more can I say than WOW!! You are truly an inspiration for a lot of us dad runners dude. I've told you several times over the internet how much your talents mean to me and I will tell you one day in person BRAVO!!!! & THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank YOU, Javi!! Appreciate these words so much!!
Just over here crying when watching someone I've never met cross the finishine. Absolutely incredible. I'm saving this for motivation on mornings that I don't feel like going on a run. Can't wait to keep watching you!
Glad I'm not the only one.😭

Go get it!!
The joy!! Absolutely loved every minute of this dude. And you ran with pure joy and it was so infectious. Great work, great video, great human 🤘🏼😊
Simply amazing. I love running, man!
I was cheering for you so hard near mile 24! You ran a stellar race on a brutal day and I appreciate you bringing us all along for the ride-all of it.
Thank you SO much!!!
Amazing job out there! That heat was brutal to everyone. Still got a new PR. Watching this, I can't wait to go one day - hoping in Chicago I can get that PR AND a BQ. Loved seeing this!
Thank you so much!!
Eric, I've been following your entire running journey from the start and wow - what a race. This is one you can be so, so damn proud of! Beyond excited for the next season, but for now, I hope you soak in all the good energy and realize what you've accomplished - because Eric, that is HUGE!
Demi!!! Thank you SO much! You are such a legend. Thanks for the constant support!!
This will be a pre race hype film for years to come... congratulations! 🦄
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The first half of the video is insane. As good as it gets. Now I have something to send to my friends when they ask me about “What does Boston Marathon feel like”
Absolutely agree!
Absolutely inspiring! Thank you for inviting us into your journey. We are soaking up this content because it's nailing the target of an authentic, persevering, relatable story. I'm going for my own PR in 10 days at the Eugene Marathon! LET'S GO!
Got get it, Brian!!!!!
A 2:38 at Boston this year is like a 2:35 on any other course. The fitness is obviously there. Excited to see more!
THAT is how you race. Well done Eric, keep pushing the limits to what you think is possible! We're here to support you along the way 💯
Love you, homie. Thanks for all the hype this past weekend. You’re the man!!
I could watch this over and over, it had me feeling all the emotions. Well done dude!
Best race blog I've seen this year. Looking forward to the recap and the deep dive. I can picture Floberg lining up at the Olympic trials in 4 years. Let's go!!
That "2:30 Project Teaser" with Jeff's voice at the end... Man, I haven't been so excited since first Phantom Menace trailer. Congratulations and thank you for being inspiration for me and many others.
Oh man, this comment gets me so fired up haha thank you!!
Bro thank you for documenting this journey. I know you hear it often but it is so inspiring to see you grind day in and day out with humility and class. Your dedication has motivated me at 43 years of age to keep grinding to make my Boston dream a reality. Keep laying those bricks and can’t wait to see what’s next ✌🏾
Aw man. Means the world!! Thank you so much!! Go get yours!
Proud of you guy. So good.
My first marathon is two weeks away, your videos are so inspirational and the entire training block has been great for my own. This one will be on repeat until race day! Congratulations!
Isn't it just incredible that people like Matty offer to help pace and also help create content for videos like this. I've done it a few times for friends at Melbourne Marathon ( here in Australia ) and although you were close this year ) it's an amazing feeling documenting these journeys so that people like yourself can have these moments for us and more importantly for you.. What I hear ( and I'll most likely never be able to run Boston ) is that it is a fairly brutal course and over the years how much the weather can change.. I had a 2hr 30 dream that was looking quite close to becoming reality for next weekend ( Ballarat Marathon ) but due to a bad case of the flu and really hitting me hard, I lost all the focus and determination to even try. I'll just go for the atmosphere and joy and chase that dream another day. Absolutely inspiring video Eric and I love seeing this sort of video coming together.. Thank you.. Best of luck for the future and running.. Look forward to following along..
Congrats Eric! I don't think I've ever felt this happy towards a stranger who runs 26.2 miles for the fun of it. I was so distracted at work tracking you on the app, and just cheering silently. I'm running my very first Marathon at Twin Cities in October, and am 3 weeks out from starting my training block. I'm incredibly inspired, honestly to the point of tears. Keep crushing it dude! I can only imagine what that 2:30 Marathon project is gonna be like!
Truly Awesome!!! You made me cry again, just like the Chicago 2023 video! It's soo great reliving the day and course through your videos!! Great work Eric and can't wait to see you crack 2:30!! Let's Goooo!!!
Thanks so much for the support!!
i'm 38 days out from my first marathon in buffalo at the end of may. this race video gets me so psyched and emotional thinking about how good it's gonna feel to finish what i set out to get done over the last year. on my own journey to hit a sub 3 hr marathon one day and watching your channel and progression inspires me so much. thanks for the great content
LFG random internet friend, good luck with your sub 3 long term gol. I ran a 1:47 half marathon in October of 22 and want so much to tackle a full length soon. Congrats on your courage!
Go get yours!!! 😤❤️🔥🫡
Hey I’ll be at Buffalo going for a similar time goal! LFG
Today, I had my final workout before taper for an upcoming Half. 5 miles at goal Half Marathon pace. Goal was to average 8:00/mi. I averaged 7:40s. Come race day, I'll have run nearly 1000 miles since my last Half Marathon in Oct 2023. 1000 miles since I went out too fast and failed to beat my PR of 1:53:50. In 9 days, I'm confident I'll be smashing that PR. I've been following your channel for over a year and your channel has definitely kept me motivated through the hard days. Thanks for putting yourself out there and amazing job at Boston!
Hey man great video and congrats. This felt super relatable as someone there too. I was aiming for a sub-2:40 time and the heat got to me too. I finished 2:48 with a fair amount of walking. But watching you go through the same with a positive attitude is super encouraging. Faster days ahead!
He just doesn’t miss!
I love you men. Was tracking your whole race, my heart was racing! You made this so real, congrats on the channel. At the end of the day, racing is the most magical way of telling stories. Thank you for sharing yours and inspiring so many people.

I teared up multiple times in this, feeling the emotion from the crowd and seeing you react to it reminded me of everything that I love about running. I’m running my debut marathon in a month and will definitely be thinking of this video on the start line
Dude!!! You killed it! I enjoy your vids and your humble nature. You deserve to be proud of this accomplishment!! What a support crew you had! Thanks for making fantastic content!
Thank you for beeing an inspiration. Fantastic race! April 28 I'll try my sub3 for boston next year and you are a part of it!
Inspirational doesn't do enough justice to describe you man! You motivate me to grab my camera, get out there, and run. Rain, shine, cold, hot, windy, doesn't matter. Proud of you and stoked for what's to come. You're gonna crush Boston next year! Go One More baby!!
This is the first video of yours I've watched and the last few minutes made me tear up big time. Running my first marathon next week, this moved and motivated me so much 🙏
Damn, been watching every episode of this series while training for my own marathon pb, was able to smash a 3.14 2 weeks ago, your videos got me through man. Next year gonna aim for that sub3! Thanks for the inspiration, keep up the amazing work! Can't wait for the next series, but enjoy the post marathon-high and some well deserved time off!

One of my favorite runners. So proud of you and deeply inspired by your journey. Don’t give up. Sub 2:30 is in your near future!

By far the best running content and series i've head the pleasure of following along with. Kudos to you and Cyrus on making passionate content great again, Floberg! Can't wait until the next one.
Huge congrats!! It was a hot day! I was a spectator for my wife who ran a 3:30.Her goal was 3:20,she felt strong but the heat got to her! You are an inspiration! Hopefully we see you at another marathon! I think Boston is a really hard course to set PBs with all the various elevation changes! Keep it up!
Floberg & Marquis, what a duo! Congrats, epic series & run in Boston.
Amped up Floberg gets me so jacked up! Love it, man! I am running Eugene next weekend and I will be channeling my inner Floberg!! Lets go!
Congrats on a perfectly executed race on a less than perfect day. It was warm out there and the hills are always waiting, but you nailed it. Enjoy some rest!
Eric, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. i teared while watching this and am inspired with what you are doing. i knew you since photography days thru mango street, and gosh you are running like a boss now! hope you do visit Singapore someday and would love to show you around. till then!
Man… Jeff at the end of the video. I am fired up. LET’S GO! 2:30 Marathon! Thank you for inspiring me to push forward!
You earned this one. Bigger, better, and faster times to come if you PR'd in these conditions
Congratulations Eric… impressive!!! can’t wait for the 2:30 project !!
Thank you!!
Awesome video of the race brought back so many memories. I ran my first ever Boston this week and really struggled from around 15 miles. But to see this video and to see that even someone running much faster than I did had issues with the heat makes me feel so much better. Well done on 2.38. Great time. I was nearly an hour behind. I had goals too and was aiming for a top 25 in my age category but end up at 197th! Next year….
Eric, I've loved watching this entire journey. Followed you with the BAA tracking, cheering you on from home during the race. I'm running Grandma's as my first marathon this year, with a major contributing factor being your own journey that you've shared, along all of these years. Thank you for your dedication to capture and deliver all that you have for all of us to watch consistently. Super proud of you buddy.
Have an incredible race in Duluth! Such an awesome race!!
Wow dude...so moved by this!!! Congrats on such an massive achievement, watching from Australia...supremely inspired bro!!
I'm so hyped to watch this later. These videos have been a huge motivation boost over the past year and a half.
6:24 when the fans let me know that the Floberg train was comin' through! Cheers man, great day to have a day!
😭 much love, homie!!
Congratulations on a superb run! I had my eyes on 2:50 but run 2:59 instead. The heat was brutal
Can‘t wait to stand at the start of a race in July for the first time. Your race gave me goosebumps. Thank you
Top notch as always. Can't wait to hopefully see an attempt at sub 2:30hr at Chicago, and marathon gods willing, I'll make it to the start line myself to see it.
YOU. ARE. THE. MAN. Congrats dude. have loved following this effort.
Way to go Floberg! I tracked you from Seattle, cheering and praying the whole way. I’m a nurse, 64 and 4x Boston Marathoner with Crohn’s disease. I know what it takes to leave it all out there grinding in the heat, pushing all the way. IMPRESSIVE run! So proud! Go get it Eric! YOU are the shit! Seattle loves you!
I was bib 1072, one away from you, and had a similarly nearly perfect training block like you. But the heat got to me early and I slowed from 6:00’s to 6:20’s after just 15k to finish with a 2:46. You absolutely killed it, a million congrats for executing exactly what I wanted to do. You had the perfect race 🎉🎉🎉
This was so inspiring! I found your channel when I was training for my first half last year, and being a student here in Boston watching you run one of the biggest marathons in the world was such a motivating thing. Keep up all your hard work, bro!
Amazing. Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration and my favorite TH-camr. You have taken my favorite topic - marathon running and apply incredibly high quality video, audio, and story telling on top of being an amazing runner. Can’t wait for what’s next!
Means the world. Thank you so much!!
This is 🔥! I will return to this over and over again. This is pure inspiration, this is grinding, this is why we run
That was amazing!! Looking forward to the Chicago 2:30 series!
Congrats!!! That was an amazing effort and an amazing video! Thank you for sharing with us...I run the race with you virtual just now! I really felt it and enjoying it!!!
Excellent grit and dedication! That was definitely a faster performance on a flatter and cool course. You showed up and showed out in spite of the circumstances, great job! Plenty more greatness to come.
I run a 4.29 marathon but my god you inspire me SO much! This video was beautiful, I cried watching you give it your all. As I chase my sub 4, I'm cheering for you and your 2.30. Go Eric, goo!!
Eric heck of an effort out there and i agree with coach, if you ran that race in CHI in 23 with that weather its no doubt under 2:35. I was in CT visiting family and went for a trot and was in shock at how hot the sun was Monday even for this FL boy so i can attest it got toasty out for sure not ideal but in the end you did not let the marathon beat you. Great job
This is by far the best running channel on TH-cam! Amazing filming and content!! I’m looking forward to the next one!
What an awesome video and epic performance! So glad I found you through this messy happy
You are a king among men at this moment Eric. Hats off for an amazing effort and also the generosity you have in documenting it all for us to be able to enjoy. 👏👏👏
As always, an incredible clip. Thank you for sharing this journey through your authentic story telling and production. Enjoy some rest!
Congrats on the training and effort over the course of the last few months! You should feel proud of yourself.
Congratulations!🎉 Truly inspiring! Awesome video!
Good job and congrats Eric! 2:30 le’s go!

Thanks so much!!
This is the video I needed before my marathon this Saturday. I’m sitting here choked up and fired up at the same time. Thank you for the amazing, inspiring journey, Eric! Ready to see you do it again!
This is a gutsy race! Great job! Definitely makes me want to run Boston next year!
Awesome. Gave me goosebumps ahead of London marathon tomorrow. So much more useful than any “tips” videos. Thanks for creating. Thanks for sharing.
The best running content creator on YT and it’s not even close. Great job man keep it up!
Im so happy I followed along on this journey and found your page when I did. Wish I was able to be in Boston and HOLLER at you. Congrats on the journey and the process Floberg thats all that matters. 3 more mins on your goal doesn't mean shit VS the athlete this block formed you and is forming you into! all the love man
Excellent video. Congrats on the race. The love of the sport and community is what keeps us coming back!
Amen! Thanks so much!!
Sunday morning I stepped outside and felt the heat in Wisconsin and wondered if Boston would be as warm Monday. Great job on a warm Boston after training through a rather cool March in the Midwest.
This video gave me goosebumps 😢 experiencing that great day once again through your lens. It was a tough one! Thanks so much for inspiring and huge congrats to your accomplishment 🎉
Congrats on the accomplishment. Really enjoyed watching the training leading up to Boston. Helped push me in my own training as I just completed my first Half Marathon this past Sunday in Jersey City. Cheers! Keep killing it.
Watching You Hype the crowd while running gave me chills! Love the video
extremely well done. was tracking you the whole time and was getting so excited for you. time goals don’t tell the whole story. you did good and should be extremely proud of yourself just as we all are of you. you inspire me and countless other people. i’ve simultaneously been working on my own marathon build and your boston 235 videos meant everything to me. i’m going to run the race next week. this race video gets me so excited. great job cyrus and matt fox for the video.
killer run in those conditions, your an inspiration to me that just returned to training last July.
Great performance Floberg! I was 3 minutes 38 seconds above my goal time. Love your videos bro
