  • @XXKapow
    @XXKapow 6 років тому +819

    During my military duty here in swizerland, if you wanted to rank up to lieutenant, you had to make a 100km walk after one survival week, meaning barely sleeping, eating or resting and a lot of sport (like 40km bicycle, swimming, walking with package).
    Was certainly the most difficult challenge for me, you just wake up the morning knowing you have 20hours walk in front of you to do... such hard.
    But you find the strenght inside you and your mates that are with you from the beginning. You walk like a zombie, holding the bag in front of you when you "walk-sleep", and at the end of the 100km, you just feel so accomplished, you think back about everything you sacrified, and it was worth it.
    I guess you felt the same doing this marathon, very proud of you ammar!
    Thx for the videos that are really inspirationnal !
    Ps. Couldnt walk for 2 days after that ^^

I feel like I don't have strength for anything, I'm not myself anymore and I'm falling deeper and deeper into the depression. I started crying watching this video realizing I can do something with my life and I'm capable of doing it even though most time I believe differently.

    For me running was the cure for depression. I lost over 60 pounds and I could stop antidepressant medication.
    On April 7th, I finished my 8th marathon in 3:44:39. Obviously with lots of training, but it's stil f****** hard..
    I have read "born to run", it's great.
    Did you read "The joy of ruining"?
    It was written by a psychiatrist who explored running as a therapy in the 1970s. As an absolute beginner he took part in a group who ran to improve heart problems. He felt that people seemed to be happier after running. He talked to their spouses who confirmed that observation. This made him think about running as an alternative to antidepressants. This happened during a time when the benefits if running were not widely recognized.
    He finally tells a heart breaking story about his own first marathon.

Raised over 2200 dollars for mental health awareness leading up to the race, and am still receiving donations. I was inspired by this video and Ammar, who showed me that anything is truly possible. I finished in 5 hours and 31 minutes. Thank you for everything Yes Theory, couldn’t have done this without y’all 💙

I just want to say that this video it was very special to me and i want to thank you for inspiring people and do this kind of things.

    I started to cry after his shout outs during miles 22 and 23. It’s so scary to be outspoken during this fight against gun violence, and having strong adults recognize our efforts is so encouraging. Dealing with anxiety and depression is so tough, but having somebody who understands remind me that times will be better and that I can make it through is what keeps me going. Thank you.

    I was also suffering severe depression, and I felt doing crazy things like running a marathon without training, will help with that, hands down. I flew out of bed one night and decided to carry my kayak 4km to the nearest river then paddle in the dark all the way to the ocean. I was greeted with a beautiful sunrise. I just kept telling myself around the corner then ill take a breather, okay.. next curve, next bend, and kept going till I reached the end. I couldn't feel happier, little things like this, cost nothing, and anybody can go out and challenge themselves in whatever. You have the power to heal your self. Amazing video @YesTheory and Ammar you killed it 👍

    I discovered yes theory less than a month ago and one thing that stood out from all their videos is how supportive they are of each other. Seeing them support each other through their struggles, fears, and achievements warms my heart. Each time I watch their videos I keep thinking, "Man, I wish I had that kind of support around me". I hope to one day meet friends like these.
