- Thank you endlessly to Matt Fox of @sweatelite for pacing me this day and rocking the GoPro all race. I didn’t deserve that, but he wanted to offer his multitude of skills, and I’m so grateful. Please go check out his incredible youtube channel!! @sweatelite
MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO FILMED ON THE COURSE! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!! You all carried me to the start, and brought me to the finish. I can’t put into words how much this community has meant to me over this block and the past year. So much love to you all!!! Race Breakdown and full Boston experience videos coming soon!

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!
That project 2:30 teaser at the end!😍😍 Congratulations on this 2:38 Eric! Well deserved!
Thank you so much!!
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.
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.
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.😭
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!!!
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!
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!
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!!!
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!!
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
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
Go get it!!
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.
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!!!!!
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!!
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.
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!
Simply amazing. I love running, man!
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!!
dude. inspiring every time. My old bones at 36 want to get closer and closer to that 3 hour mark. I'm convinced that if I watch enough of your videos, I'll end up doing it...
came back to watch this for a second time ahead of london this weekend - so inspiring and get chills everytime!! ⚡️
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!!
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….
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!
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!!!
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 :)
Floberg & Marquis, what a duo! Congrats, epic series & run in Boston.
You earned this one. Bigger, better, and faster times to come if you PR'd in these conditions
Chills!! Dude casually filming the entire race at 3:45 pace is insane
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!
Can't wait to watch this the day before my Boston one day. Boston or bust 2027! This whole series has been inspirational to say the least! Congratulations!! The work put in and the outcome are incredible!
Thank you so much for the support!!
The ending have me goosebumps!! I’m fired up and so ready for your next achievements 🙌🏽
That race gave me chills!!!! Such an inspiration! Congrats!!!
thank you so much!!
Excellent video. Congrats on the race. The love of the sport and community is what keeps us coming back!
Amen! Thanks so much!!

YOU. ARE. THE. MAN. Congrats dude. have loved following this effort.
Eric, a cinematic masterpiece, so incredible. Congratulations on your race and great seeing you in Boston.
I could watch this over and over, it had me feeling all the emotions. Well done dude!
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!
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!
Watching You Hype the crowd while running gave me chills! Love the video
You’re a beast. I love this. Can’t wait to keep watching.
Awesome. Gave me goosebumps ahead of London marathon tomorrow. So much more useful than any “tips” videos. Thanks for creating. Thanks for sharing.
This video is so inspiring and has made me want to push myself further with running, you should be so proud
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!
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.
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!
I never leave comments but my god this was amazing, I tracked you the whole race while I was cleaning and going on with my day and I was in shivers when you crossed the finish line. Amazing amazing amazing work!!
awhh Thank you so much!!
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!
Congrats my man!!! You ran a hell of a race on. Hot day. Great work!
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 🎉
such a beautiful running, the crowd gives you more energy ❤️
Congrats on the training and effort over the course of the last few months! You should feel proud of yourself.
What an awesome video and epic performance! So glad I found you through this messy happy
I may have teared up a bit. Congrats! Well done Eric! Loves from Manila Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤
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.
Left me with chills, can’t wait for the journey!
Holly crap! That has me fired up! Heck of a race! You showed how amazing the Boston Marathon really is. Thank you! I’m excited to run it next year!
I have no doubt that you will get that sub 2:35 and even faster you are on the right path, just be patient and it will come. I'm also looking for a sub 2:40. Thanks for the videos, I love them.
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..
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!!
The ending gave me massive chills. WOW
Massive congratulations on a great run and great time! The video is inspiring, you should be proud of what you have achieved. 👍
That was amazing!! Looking forward to the Chicago 2:30 series!
I would say that the weather was pretty much perfect for marathoning. On top of that there was a tailwind most of the course. You can always frame it to fit the narrative, but better just to won it with no excuses and be happy with what you had in you on that day.
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!
Truly an inspiration for a lad out there on the grind
Congratulations Eric… impressive!!! can’t wait for the 2:30 project !!
Thank you!!
Congrats on a solid race in tough conditions! Sub 2:30 here we come!!!
Good job and congrats Eric! 2:30 le’s go!
Incredible work out there, bro! Keep crushing it 🤘🏽
Unreal work out there! You are such an inspiration! This video is going to give me so much drive to get a BQ and be out there one day!
This is a gutsy race! Great job! Definitely makes me want to run Boston next year!
Flo; I got goosebumps at the end of this video. Let's go!
Not afraid to say it but this video made me cry. Watched it with my 4 year old son and he asked "are we going to do that one day?" We have our first "race" this weekend in a mile fun run for him and im doing a 5k prior to that. Amazing video as always
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.
Eric, I ran 3:09 but think I was 3:02-04 shape. You did awesome for what the weather Gods gave us. So excited for you. Fantastic video by Fox. Keep inspiring old guys like myself 💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you thank you!! Way to grind it out, James!!
Great performance Floberg! I was 3 minutes 38 seconds above my goal time. Love your videos bro
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. 👏👏👏
Congrats Eric, you continue to inspire!
Very Cool !!!! Congratulations...Great Job No Matter what !!!! Great Video Man !
Amazing video. One of your best and agree with Jeff, your best race yet and that’s something. Congratulations! And thank you for the motivation for Madrid in a few days (also hot, tons of uphill)
Go get it!!
Congrats on an amazing finish! Brutal course with higher temperatures. That is definitely one to be proud of! Maybe one day I can run Boston.
This is 🔥. Can't wait for the full recap. What an amazing effort. Sub 2:30 for sure!
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!
This video is just to f*kng amazing! Well done brother. Great work 🚀
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 🤘🏼😊
Congratulations!🎉 Truly inspiring! Awesome video!
Congrats! Really enjoyed following the process
Thanks so much!!
Matt nailed the during race footage! Well done on your achievement also Eric 🤟🏼
Congrats 362nd there and warm conditions. Cant wait to see you crush sub 2:30 next year. 🎉
Inspiring bro, made me feel like I was running it with you. Just signed up for my first marathon in Dec in Honolulu and ready to start training! LETS GOOO!
Proud of you guy. So good.
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!!
killer run in those conditions, your an inspiration to me that just returned to training last July.
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!!
Amazing! I too ran Boston 2024… 🏃♀️🏅🙌 Loved every minute of it!
