On my 5th Boston, some last minutes tips that you probably don’t need - more shade on the right than left hand side of the course (really matters in Newton), I feel worse than I want earlier than I want - but it is always temporary - know that it will pass. Hills really start around mile 11, focus on one hill at a time and remind your self that the downhills are recovery and you are fine, you are ready, and you can handle this. Most importantly, focus on the crowds, it helps the miles pass and takes the focus off the work, if the sun is out crowds will be insane!!
Just want to say thank you for including your kilometre splits in addition to the mile splits - so much easier for someone like me who trains in kms to understand the nature of the effort that you are applying. Good luck on Monday!
Hey man, I’m running in wave 1 corral 2 as well! I’m shooting anywhere 2:35-2:38, so hopefully I’ll see ya. It’s been awesome watching all your videos through this series to get ready for the race! I did Boston for the first time last year and it was one of the coolest things I’ve done. Can’t wait!
Best of luck in Boston. I'll be running Carmel this weekend, so this series has been a perfectly timed training companion. Thanks for bringing us along!
Love your videos Eric. The long form race recaps are my favourite. I was doing a threshold run the other day and the Mandy Moore song was playing in my head. Love it 👍
Your dedication, discipline, and hard work is inspiring. I can see your kids watching these vids in a few years and being so proud of you. Have a great time in Boston (with Ben!). Floberg flies!!
Awesome insight, thanks. Been following your journey from the early days and documenting my own first sub-3 attempt (Boston Marathon UK in just over 2 weeks) on UA-cam. A few years on and now you say ‘as slow as 6:05 min/mile pace’ and it’s legit - what incredible progress you’ve made. Keep at it, and good luck! Rooting for you.
Been following and love your content! Hope to see you - I am medical volunteer at finish. Ran Boston several times and your training is so solid - you will crush. Hills are not a problem if you behave (as you plan) first 1/2. STICK TO YOUR PLAN. Overpass (esp if warmer) can mess with you - no shade - just know that and you are fine after that. I am a fan of the ‘drive the course’ - did it at Big Sur - gave me huge mental notes that paid off. Happy to help - I live downtown and have a car! You are amazing and inspiring!👍
Good luck!!! I’ve really enjoyed the series. I’ve been loving your song choice for your running sequences. Ben Parkes, is great, I love his opening words in that thick whatever accent he has “helloevrybody”
love your passion for detail, keep up the momentum and follow your dream. you got this! I'm following along being in a 20 week training block for marathon in only 2,5 weeks myself and these videos are highly inspirational even though I'm not nearly as fast as you. Good luck and take care!
I just rewatched the Chicago video where you met Ben Parkes at the finish line. Kind of crazy you're doing a shakeout with him now. The way you will be watching running content before your race, I know I will watch your videos before my first marathon in Chicago this year. All the best!!
Good luck! You’ve got this! This year will be my 3rd Boston and I have ran sub 2:50 at Boston a couple of times. The hills are short and sweet. You immediately go downhill after the peak of the hill. The hardest part of the hills at Boston is more so the placement and timing of them on the course.
I m doing Boston. Thanks for your mall for the shakeup run, would love to join but little to late for me... All the best for Monday, may all your objectives come true... Cheers from a Portuguese fan.
enjoy and good luck! Aiming for the same goal, so hope to see ya with a PB around the finish! The race is supposed to be hard! But enjoy Boston. It's truly magical.
Good luck Eric, great to see you pumped and ready for it. *Loved your Ben Parkes impression btw, classic!* Just remember you've come so far and whatever happens on Monday, know you're an inspiration to many and you should be proud. Certainly inspired me to keep stacking my marathon training blocks (rather than fattening in between) so that hopefully I can reach my sub 3 goal before I complete the majors in 2026 in Tokyo! With Berlin in September this year and Boston and Chicago for me in 2025 I hope to get to meet you next year, we will see! I hope it all goes to plan and I'm sure you're going to smash it! 💥
Running my marathon tomorrow. It’s been great to watch this series weekly as I’ve been training. Almost felt like you were my training partner. Let’s get it
Good luck in Boston I work construction in the city. I was driving through the course in Wellesley to get to a new job site and I was surprised how much up and down there was. I am aspiring to qualify for Boston and just did a 1.32 half and your content is a great motivator for me good luck again
Good luck in Boston Eric. This series really thought me a lot about training for marathon as a somewhat inexperienced marathon runner. Thank you. I'm running Rotterdam this weekend hoping to go sub 3:15.
Crazy that you didn't make corral 1. Anyone know the cutoff time for that? Your friends advice on the downhill is spot on. I found a hill with the same drop as the beginning of Boston and ran it at marathon effort. It was more runnable than I thought. Just shorten your stride and cruise. Mine ended up being a little faster than race pace but nothing crazy fast and I didn't feel like I was hitting the breaks the whole time. You got a solid plan! I hope to see you at the athletes village.
Good Luck!!! Hope everything goes well! exciting seeing your videos as each one is coming out exactly at the same phase I'm in at my current training block (Vienna April 21st)
One unique unofficial event that happens at Boston is that people bike the course at midnight before the race. Many bike out to the start and back, but the kick off is at midnight at the start. (Bikes and people are all decked out with glowing lights )
Coming over from Ireland for the marathon, Oh I hate this week before a marathon, anxiety, tiredness, overthinking but guess its all part of it. Good luck in Boston, I'll say hello if I see you.
Have you tried ucan powder or gels? They might be a lot easier on your stomach since they aren't straight sugar. I like using it before marathons and a couple gela early before switching to sugar
I think the Coros footpod has the ability to calculate and then display GAP on the watch, so it's another way you can help modulate effort by grade adjusted paces for the up/downhills. But if you haven't used this yet, probably not the time to do it. ;) Goodluck at Boston, can't wait for the recap.
Hey! Let me know if you need a ride to Hopkinton and then back to Boston, would love to do that. I've done Boston once in 2021 and previously lived right on the course in Framingham and have run up and down these roads many times
@@flobergrunsby the by, have you thought of adding a salt tab taped to your gels in case of throwing up? Might be a good way to counteract missed nutrition because of the upchuck?
Love your videos, I’m currently training for grandmas in June. You say you are the lightest you’ve ever been. Do you mind saying what your height and weight is currently? I know everyone has that ideal balance of weight and strength to be their fastest!
I really respect you for going for the PR in Boston. So many of these clown influencers cherry pick the fastest courses for their PR attempts. F that. Pull up to Boston and let it rip.
I need all these data companies to stop naming chronic training load as “fitness”. It’s very unhelpful to everyone & literally not a measure of your fitness.
You're faster and more fit than I'll ever be, but I can't help but think if you work on the efficiency of your arm swing that you'd run even more efficiently. Obviously too late in the build for this change now, but I feel like this is low hanging fruit for future builds. Good luck

I would add buy some shoe covers in amazon, work great if there is rain at Athlete's Swamp, I mean village...
Boston vid is gonna be a MOVIE! 🍿 good luck eric 🫡

Or just do a little head math and multiply by 1.6

Good luck in that goal, rooting for you from Costa Rica

Phew, I know I do.
Do u know the name of the song?
@@alexanderguevara3673 song is called panic attack in a michaels

Come on Erik you can do it! The weather looks very promising we gonna have a great race on Monday! 🎉💪👍See you there 😊
Best of luck!! Will be following you on the app... That poster behind you is epic ❤

Finally saw you along the lake front a couple Fridays ago. You looked strong and fast. Go crush this race.
One unique unofficial event that happens at Boston is that people bike the course at midnight before the race. Many bike out to the start and back, but the kick off is at midnight at the start. (Bikes and people are all decked out with glowing lights )
that sound cool! ill be ther runing monday
I love your video and the way you’re preparing for the Boston 2024. Respect
LETS GO ERIC, I cannot wait to see how it goes. Go out there and give it your best, thats all you can do.
Regardless of what happens on race day I'm sure everyone agrees this series has been brilliant to follow along. Good luck man, go smash it!
Coming over from Ireland for the marathon, Oh I hate this week before a marathon, anxiety, tiredness, overthinking but guess its all part of it. Good luck in Boston, I'll say hello if I see you.
Good luck at Boston! I’m also aiming for a 2:35 on Monday. Would love to link up and work together throughout the race.
You've done the work! Get into the flow and just let it all go!
The hay is in the barn
Best of luck! cant wait to track you and Ben!
Inspiring Eric, all the best for Boston! You'll smash it. Awesome to see you and Ben hook up too.
Have you tried ucan powder or gels? They might be a lot easier on your stomach since they aren't straight sugar. I like using it before marathons and a couple gela early before switching to sugar
Good luck at the race! I think you’ll kill it! You’re so ready for this!
Is there a reason you haven’t done any races this training block?
I think the Coros footpod has the ability to calculate and then display GAP on the watch, so it's another way you can help modulate effort by grade adjusted paces for the up/downhills. But if you haven't used this yet, probably not the time to do it. ;)
Goodluck at Boston, can't wait for the recap.
Finally got my BQ at Carmel today! Finding your Carmel videos was super helpful - go send it in Boston!
Your going to do AMAZING. Can't wait to hear your story!
Can't wait for the next Sweat Elite video, featuring you!
Hahaha very sweaty and not elite.
Go crush it! These series really keeps me motivated and excited about running. Can't wait for the recap!
always so happy to see this in my feed
Been waiting for this. Goodluck and have fun brother! The work is done, it’s time to shine 💥🔥💪🏻
Good Luck in Boston Floberg!! I love your content, but I hope you take a well deserved break post Boston to recover.
You're the man!! Thank you for the series, go get it!!
2nd oldest after Yonkers, I think. Good luck brother, I’ll be out there cheering.
I get so excited when I see a floberg vid pop up on my feed
Best of luck in Boston!

Good luck!

Try to link up with guys from the Greater Boston Track Club in red! Many decades of experience and several guys around your 2:35 goal
As i told you before your shakeout run in CHI no woulda coulda shoulda when u get old.> Full send
Ya buddy!!!
THIRD
Yooo thanks for the support!
Of course. You’re gonna kill it. How you feeling??
Definitely very nervous. Feels like mind games. Like I have a split personality disorder or something.
@@flobergruns silly Eric
jajajaja
The 2000s esque punk rock was a vibe
It's far from being the hardest organized marathon :) this is only true for the 6 majors. Good luck sub 2:35 is waiting for you :).
Would you mind sharing your source for the marathon majors poster behind you, the one with the races represented by lanes?
It is a discontinued bandit running poster.
Eric all the best, I am 7110, will say hi if I bump into you!
I also have a strange competitive relationship with my watch's race predictor.
LFG!!🚀
flo what is the name of your intro song? i cant find it
good luck
