    throughout this film, he talks about the empowerment you get from completing something that you originally thought was impossible. i had this experience after running the NYC marathon back in '18.. i had really been screwing up my life, drinking daily, doing drugs like coke and tina regularly, and changing jobs or getting fired every few months throughout my entire 20s before training for it. and i did very little training. the day of the race, i wasn't even sure if i could do it, but i had made it to NYC, and had some family and partner with me and i felt very strongly that i really didn't have a choice but to finish. around mile 23 when i new i was going to make it, i had that profound realization or epiphany i believe he is talking about, where you realize that anything is possible, and you really can do anything you set your mind to. its a very common saying, but it hits differently when you KNOW it to be a fact. it was a moment i desperately needed in my life, after countless failures, arrest, humiliation, etc. the Miami marathon this jan. will be my 6th marathon, and I have been attached to running ever since. i feel very blessed to have had this realization in my life, and hope everyone can experience something like this! if you are reading this and need a win for once in your life, get out side and start training!

    The running, the story, amazing, all of it...But what really stuck out to me was the relationship between Eric and his wife!! I've seen so many other runners sort of blow off their partner at aid points, but even when he's hurting so bad he always gives her a hug and a kiss before taking off again. And she is so supportive. Just such a sweet part of this whole film

    @doernerrr 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

    For perspective: I ran a marathon last year and trained for 16 weeks, ran just over 500 miles in that block. Eric ran half that distance in 3 1/2 days, unbelievable.

      Marathon training a whole different ball game ultra running is a lot of slow running and jogging marathon training is fast running pushing your self to the limit

    When he talked about the first time running 12 miles, and the power it gave him mentally. I almost cried. I know that feeling.

    I love the journey. Authentic friends that dont sugar coat it or blow smoke. Support, a kick up the bum when you need it and a hug when you feel broken. All part of the journey and an amazing wife.

  • @michaelm9871
    @michaelm9871 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    My favorite part was when Eric said "I made a category error." How true that must be.

    Eric, wife, mom, and friends; you all are absolutely amazing people, and the relationships you have are wonderful! Eric, I have no words..... That was so incredibly impressive, and you remained so cool and caring the entire time. Dylan the film is beyond fantastic!

  • @tommyslavic898
    @tommyslavic898 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Eric's moustache, the shirt, the music and washed out colours of this film give it hints of a nostalgic past. I'm not a runner but enjoyed watching it.

    Thank you! This film contains so much artistry, thoughtfulness and fine-tuned story-telling. It is exquisite. I can only imagine the amount of editing that went into this. Incredible job, Dylan Harris. And thank you to the one-of-a-kind Eric Senseman for allowing this journey to be shared. Beautiful.

  • @AngelaRumer
    @AngelaRumer ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Amazing story, videography, and brings me to tears seeing others accomplish hard things. One day maybe for me… but how he explains that there’s something powerful in thinking … “I’m going to run ___ miles (or whatever distance it is), and making it happen, putting those two pieces together, is powerful”. That’s the stuff right there! Nothing pulls the heart strings more than seeing each finisher!! ❤

  • @KeithBuhler
    @KeithBuhler 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Let's get this to at least 1,000 views per mile that this well mustachioed man ran.
    After all that, 250,000 views is the least we can do.

    You guys and girls, (long distance and endurance runners), truly fascinate and inspire me. I've walked 10 15 20 miles before out of necessity and had bloody feet, but being able to use your mind like this to push your body is the opposite of what I've been doing, which is using my body to please my mind. Really has been a change of perspective watching you do this and some other people doing similar things. We all overcome things in life, when we have to. But you are one of the small percentage that seeks out these things to show what you can overcome and that's truly fucking amazing to me.
