- We made this short film almost two years ago over on my filmmaking channel, and I figured it would be poignant and cool to share it here. Hopefully it resonates with you! There are some super fun easter eggs throughout that played out in my running career over the following 2 years. If you found any, let me know in the comments!

The subtle tilt of the camera out of excitement just like the dads video, 👌🏻
That was an unexpected video. The reason I started running more consistently was because of my two sons. They both got into track and cross country so I started running during their practices. A few years later, I've since ran many half marathons and did my first full this year. It's all thanks to my wonderful sons. We run together regularly, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Running has changed my life in many ways, running with my son's is one thing I will cherish until my dying day. We even have talks about life and about random things while we run together. It's one of many ways we spend time together.
Beautiful video Eric.
This is so heart warming. Being a parent, putting the food on the table and still finding time for running is so hard sometimes. I´m sure you are a great role model for your kids
Appreciate you!
That was beautiful and so relatable Eric. As a father of 7 and 11 year old daughters, this video surely hit home. You have a gift my friend. Keep inspiring, seriously love your work. ❤️🙌
did not know this video would make me cry. Shit hits to close to home. The grind and everything we work towards matters. But our loved ones matter the most. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
Thanks so much, Chris.
Be able to randomly see this video, while having two little daughters and training for my first marathon right now, is the reason why I love TH-cam.
Damn, my guy! That was a beautiful short film! You're an incredible filmmaker and an even better human ❤.
Appreciate you!!
Great video! Speaks to why I run at 4:30a…everything lost can be found again except time. Spend it wisely with the loved ones.
running is not the most important thing in life. period.
truth.
Yes it is.
It could be for some people
Yea it is.
I was not ready to cry with this, again.
Great video. Hit me hard. Not because I run a lot. Not because I'm that kind of father. I turned that shit around. Tears came when I realised my parents never watched a game I played. I'm now 43, but it's haunting me still. My son will hate me for being around to much instead 😅 Tnx Eric 💙
This one really touched a nerve. I always find a way to move things around to fit in my run. And I can remember having almost the exact same conversation with my wife about spending more time with my son.
i'm cryin in the club
Priorities show the world who we are. Consistency compounds, whether you’re training for Chicago or being the best parent you can be. Great video Eric!
❤️
Ghat damn dude. Who's cutting all these onions in here? Beautiful slice of life feel, colour grading was spot on, and the music choices with each scene building up was fantastic.
Wonderful video Floberg, really hit all the emotions hard... Brb calling my Dad.
My Dad was my hero - just as every son's father is theirs. Loved this Eric. Thankyou.
trying to hold back those tears here, finding the time to fit everything in is a true struggle....but the one thing I learned from my parents from an early age....always be there...always. That usually means my training takes a back seat. This one hit hard man, so hard.
A one week old and a soon to be 5 year old at home, with a dad who has the exact same running ambitions as you. It’s tough, and this hit home 😭 The struggle can be real. Thank you for sharing ❤
Gosh, this is a beautiful film, as a dad of two boys this landed at the right time. Thank you, Eric.
Beautiful work. My son is five and he is the reason I started running. It all stemmed from him asking if we could run to the park instead of ride bikes like usual. I struggled running and I was determined to get better. Now I’m training for a half marathon in the fall and a full in the spring. I run after I put him to sleep just so I don’t miss any time with him but we still run to the park every so often.
Ok, got me crying😢 ran sub 2:45 in March and while I’m hoping to drop that time this year in Chicago, our first baby is due in 5 weeks so my mindset has been changing and understanding that running and work will take a back seat very soon. BEAUTIFUL STORYTELLING!
As a first time father of a newborn this video hit deep. Everything changed and a lot of my personal interests have taken the backseat, including running. My family is my number 1 priority and I am learning how to fit in things around them
Fully in tears here. As a father of 2 small kids and husband, this video reinforced why I wake up at 3-4am 6 days a week in my pursuit of a sub 3 marathon. I will achieve my goals, but never at the expense of the precious limited time I have with my family which just seems to go more quickly every day. Thank you for sharing this.
💯❤️
Beautiful, a really special piece of work ❤
Wow! What a great visual. Absolutely loved everything about it!
Wow this is beautiful. Visually stunning and heartwarming. Great reminder
Definitely tugged on my heart watching this, and I don’t have kids. Beautifully done and we really felt the emotion and the meaning behind this short. While our goals are important, the quality time you spend with your child is more impactful and can shape who they become. Really well done.
May god bless you and your son! I wish you the best, thank you for being there for him, it doesn’t go unnoticed.
❤️❤️❤️
Eric, absolutely beautiful. I’m sorry that after watching this all I could focus on was thinking of how wholesome and epic a video with you and Ben is Running would be. Holy crap- one of those things I didn’t know I needed till this.
While I was not running at the time (we have multple life additictions which can take our eyes off the important things ) I nearly missed my boys growing up before my eyes. I was lucky I woke up at 37. (boys were 09,10 & 12 at the time) which meant for half their years they got to know me .. and I could pass on lessons by my actions and no just by barking instructions. It was many years ago now , you brought back those memories . Sometimes just put the devices down and just be .
Wow this was a great watch, absolutely amazing! Loved it
Gosh darn it you did it again! A short film almost without any words and yet, so much as been said. Well done Floberg! You are a big inspiration for me! Keep it up!
❤️🙏🏼
after 12k.sweating tearing during this video.i'll learn from u.put more time with family. ur fan from China❤❤
Beautiful film. I can relate so much. It is so hard to find time to balance full time work, being a partner and a parent. Especially to multiple kids. I run super early in the morning. Thats the sacrifice i make because i dont want to sacrifice family time
Beautiful. As a father first and bad runner second, thank you
So much better than a good runner and bad father ❤️
the most beautiful carousel of pain story out there. Replacing the box of memories for a new box of shoes, that will then carry new memories. For your kid.
Well that hit right in the feels. Had me thinking about my dad. Miss him so much. Nice work on the video.
So sorry for your loss ❤️
Once again, you make an incredible video. Im so amazed by your storytelling, editing and you and Cyrus ability to make such high quality videos!
❤️❤️❤️ A lot of credit here goes to my buddy Steven (in description) for DPing this one for me. 🤘🏼
Utterly beautiful piece of content! 🔥 The cinematography and storytelling is just so well done. Really love the heartwarming story, and appreciated all the running culture and references put into it. Definitely want to be that kind of dad at the end some day. 😊
o cara sabe contar uma história e ainda é ator!
A beautiful film! We all love running but there’s nothing more important than family!!!
💯
This looked, and felt, so darn good.
I’m not crying, you are! 😢
Professional acting like a film 😍
Beautiful! I took my son running with me today he wanted to stop and look at everything, the deer, the lakes, the birds and the squirrels, chase the ducks at first I was frustrated then I realized I could always get another workout in but this time with him won’t last forever he one day be 20 and starting a life of his own. Funny enough when I eased off he got focused and actually wanted to run it turned out to be a great workout
So good!! Can’t replace those moments
WHY AM I CRYING
I love this video so much. It's so important to step back and realize what's truly important in life. The scene where you looked back at old videos reminded me of the scene from Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase looked at film of his childhood while stuck in his attic lol.
As someone who has lost two...
Powerful message. 😢
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Eric!
1:47 that’s very sweet of you ☺️
So heart warming... ❤❤❤
Such a good message, such a beautiful video. You are someone I admire very much and would like to be like in the future.
beautiful! It's the best thing I've watched lately!
Love this man! You are such an amazing story teller.
Appreciate you!!
Tears. 🙏
Ben is running on the TV! Fantastic video
Nice to see benisrunning making a cameo performance ☺️
This is a beautiful short film, a tearjerker, and an inspiration! Well done 👏🏻 ❤ This hits home with me🥲
Jesus Christ Eric, your stuff these days is fkn incredible.
❤️🙏🏼
Incredible video!
@benisrunning on in the background! Floberg supporter things you love to see! Amazing video
Floberg cinematic universe
Didn’t realize I was crying today 💁♀️
I’m not crying I’m not crying
Strangely enough, isn’t this appetite to be a model for our own kids that somehow fuels whole thing ?
Most definitely, but for me, not at the expense of quality time with the kids ❤️
This hit me so hard
Damn eric, this hits different
banger of a video
Cool Video!
Beautiful ❤
This got me bro❤
@shipwreckruns said this in the comments: "You can’t pass on the valuable lessons you learn through running to a child who sees you as a stranger." Wooooooof does that ever hit home. That's the motivation right there for the 4 a.m. alarms. Christian, husband, father, friend, worker, runner. In that order.
Get yourself running buggies people!
Love this video. Instant subscribe!
Thank you!
...🎵 and the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon...
I take my running more serious than most. No doubt it has caused friction in my family life. However nothing is more important to me than my son.
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
There’s a reason I get up very early and get my run while everyone else is still sleeping #dadhours
I love running but, it's inherently selfish. Don't forget you're not just doing it for you.
great video man
Man how did that happen 😢👏👏
I’ve been guilty of this in the past. My kid is 15 now, so my message is that it goes so fast. Your times will drop, injuries increase, and your trainings will get harder as you age. You can’t pass on the valuable lessons you learn through running to a child who sees you as a stranger.
Wow, what a response. Wonderfully said. ❤️
who turned the mist up in my room? so weird
🥰
Who’s cutting onions here? 🥲
I don't really get what the message is supposed to be; father obsessed with his own pursuits neglects time with child. Then wins child back with material possessions and engaging him through the medium on his own passions rather than the child's? Great cinematography, as always and a refreshing piece from a running channel.
Doubt he knows. Adidas just told him to make it look good #ad
lol it was not sponsored by Adidas. I wish. Thanks, Chris! The sequence of old footage was actually the dad realizing the connection he had to his own father through the sport, and that he didn’t share it with his own son. In the end, he decided to right the trajectory of their relationship with some running shoes in hopes that it connected them the same way it did with his own dad. Instead of engaging with the phone notification, he used the phone to film his son “breaking a backyard running record” in the same way his dad did with the camcorder, letting his emotions take over and the camera drift. But, ya know, things aren’t always as good when you have to explain them. 😉
Manipulating your kids into doing videos for clicks and monetary purposes is shameful. TH-camrs are the worst.
