- Matt takes on one of the toughest endurance events on the entire planet, the Ironman. The Ironman consists of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run, raced in that order and without a break.

Vlynn OMG Same! That always happends
Isn't it the most beautiful thing, that your friends are waiting there for you at the finishline ❤
I think its also beautiful, they were there to encourage him almost every leg there.
Yes.
“Friends” stop saying strange words
@@tbnrkings utterly weird and strange indeed... let's theorize about terrance mckenna
Honestly what I want in life. To have friends who'll stick by my side and encourage me in the most awesome way - Matt's so lucky!!
Your friends running along with you for the last mile, I cried.
Same here
im currently balling right now 😭😭😭😭😭
Me too!! It was so beautiful and cute. I wish a friendship like that
Yup, that's about the time I started too. What a great feeling to see friendship at a time when you need it most.
Met too.. it's so heartbreaking , see his best friend always support him
Did a half ironman inspired by the first video, Im doing an IRONMAN this morning, all inspired by this video, came to rewatch it this morning, thank you for everything guys ♥️
Congratulations
How'd it go?
@@curvedbridge I guess not the greatest
Where at?
Good job man!
"It doesn't matter if you finish, its about putting in the work."
So true...
Finishing something you started does matter
At 08:35 you can see how it’s over 12 Hours already? Am i the only one who realised?
That’s what I tell my girlfriend
I disagree with this statement, not finishing doesn't negate the work. but it definitely should matter. other wise your goal is not worth fighting for.
@@Robb2e not everyone starts at the same time u get released seperatly.
I know this doesn't compare at all but i'll be running my first half marathon this sunday. i'm scared shitless. this pumped me up a lot.
thanks guys!
Wow, I’ve always wanted to run one. Nice! Good luck!!
Good luck 🙂
Good luck you got this !!!
Sophia Smith why have you not done one or planned to do one in the near or distant future? I’m just wondering.
o
Matt's friends waiting and running with him at the end is what made me emotional.The way they support each shows the love and respect they have for each other.Congratulations Matty.
Much love ❤️

haha...What do you mean??
Daniel Hruaitea why did you say love from India love from Washington ☺️
@@nickhuff90 Cause i'm in India.I just changed my content location to United States.
I want somebody to love me the way these guys love each other
Completely agree
I agree 💯 but the older i get, the more difficult it seems. It’s not that I became a bad person that can’t be loved, I just need to be more open
You will find somebody that love you the way this guys love each other only if you accept to love this ‘somebody’ the way this guys love each other
Accept to give and you will receive
All is about reciprocity
Sad but true
Yeah same ! I envy this ! All of this is so precious I cannot 😭 man this makes me sob !
I really wish I have friends like them. This type of friendship is gold.
be that friend for others & you will get the same energy back ^_^
Want a friend?
@@madipitkin Do you sell them?
@@markg8125 not when there ain't no friends like this around
Friends like this come from being vulnerable with each other until all you want for that person is love and personal success over your selfish wants of the friendship you have. They cry as hard as they laugh with each other and don’t judge the other they just listen and help
8:33 When Ammar lets him fall into his arms is the cutest thing ever
Chuckleson Gaming no it's ammar (an arabic name)
Fix und Fertig get lost
Ammar is the cutest thing ever tho
Friendship goals....
Lol thank you all so much😂😂
This was incredible Matt. Crying my eyes out. Thank you for always inspiring us Yes Theory💙
i dont know why i was crying
When I first saw this video, I weighed over 300 pounds. Now, I’m doing a full Ironman in five days. I’ll always appreciate the inspiration, Matt. ❤️
How’d it go?!
Thats awesome
How did you do
Any tips for me ? I want to start training for it aswell but dont have a bike yet or swimsuit. How did you get started?

Ro Be I have and he is also amazing but this is more chilled out encouragement and it isn’t about I guess don’t know really how to say it but yeaaaaaaaaaa this feels like it is more insparational because it is easier to take note from and it isn’t what they are telling you it is what you see from these guys and that is why it is truly the best Inparational channel on youtube 💯👌😍💡💯👌😍💡💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As a runner, this is my favorite video ever. Couldn’t hold the tears. Thank you for this Matt❤️
I'm gonna stick to the 800 and the mile 😅
iMar same lol
As a non runner, this is my favorite too! Congrats Matt!
You guys inspire everyone to JUST DO IT and face your fears!
Be careful, you just said "Just do it", maybe you'll have to pay a comission to Nike, xD

I'm a two pack per day smoker and after seeing this video I decided to quit to improve myself and start working out to eventually complete the iron man. Thank you!
Edit may/2020: Hey y'all. Wow, just wow! I didn't check my UA-cam account for a while, I'm sorry I didn't send any updates, I didn't know I was going to have so many good people cheering for me. This is truly incredible! I've read all the comments, and no, I'm not dead lol. After four months with no cigarettes and hitting the gym everyday I smoked a pack in a moment when I was under lots of stress - which made me really disappointed with myself, honestly. I started to get anxious and afraid that I was going to start smoking again cause I was really craving those cigs. So after this one pack I started to decrease slowly instead of cutting them all suddenly like I did 9 months ago. After one month I was able to stop completely. I just stoped going to the gym now cause we are all quarantined here in Egypt and gyms are closed but I keep working out everyday at home focused on complete the iron man. My goal didn't change! In this 9 months I decreased my body fat % and I've never felt so good and healthy. I hope you are all safe. You have no idea how thankful I am for all this support. I was feeling a bit down because of this quarantine thing but with you and your comments changed my mood completely. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are all incredible!
You can do it!
Go for it 👍🏻💪
1week with no cigarettes already!
@@PatriciaOliveira-lb1hd aye get it ! I believe in ya i start my weight loss program midnight!!!
Patricia, how is quitting going? I quit smoking about four years ago and am set to complete my first marathon in September. It's not easy to quit but I believe in you. Keep going!
This cinematography is amazing. Thanks for the inspiration, Matt.
My eyes haven't turned into rivers for a while but this really did it for me.
Now I'm sitting here thinking
*"What if I"*
i just wished i had some friends like this man.They arent even friends anymore, theyre brothers.
@Multorum Unum I never cry, n I didn't cry during the video lol. Was a nice video though. Wish I had such friends...
This video right here....has inspired hundreds if not thousands of people already to jump into something they've wanted to do for a long time, but have been hesitant to do so. Matts "You used to think this was impossible", got me ready to take the first step.
My motto is: *I rather say "oops", than "what if"*
I was about to comment that I never get tears to my eyes because of video's and that this was the first one.. And then I saw it was a topcomment. Yes Fam feels this..
Before my father passed away he completed his final Ironman at 79 years old. Watching him do this for the last 20 years, over 700 triathlons, 45 marathons and him completing 12 ironmans, I can truly say that there are no people in the world like the Ironman and women who are crazy enough to compete. I'm a terrible biker and could never do this distance, but from the shorter and olympic distance tri's I've done, I agree that it is absolutely addicting and such an indescribable feeling crossing the line.
Will Cook Incredible story. I’m sorry about your loss I know how it feels (my Mum passed away when I was 5 and although I don’t remember it it still hurts inside). Your father sounds like a legend and so do you.
Will Cook dang your dad lived a good live god bless you all
Will Cook i don’t do triathlons or anything like that but i am an accomplished competitive gymnast along with playing more than 4 other sports but standing on that first place podium just makes you feel complete and makes you feel happy i just can’t get enough i’ve had many hard battles and things to go through i’ve wanted to quit so many times but that drive and adrenaline just kept me going
Your dad was a absloute legend

I love that they ran the last mile with him and then caught him and held him up when he finished.

I'd watch this even if it was an hour long, love you guys and Congrats Matt!
I'd watch him running,swimming and riding for the 12 hours
I wish it was 12hrs long
This episode taught me 3 things:
1. You'll never know until you try.
2. True friends are the ones who lift you up.
3. Age is just a number. Live your life!
(shoutout to that grandpa 6:05)

So inspirational... honestly so proud of Matt completing the iron man
War.of.V 95 aaaand you spoiled the whole video thanks
War.of.V 95 🔥Matt for the win
And this is why you watch the video first before reading comments.
@6:04 did anyone noticed that grandpa standing right back to matt? Respect!
He's fricken ripped dude hah! respect indeed
My uncle is 64 he’s ran 50 marathons before he was 50 and a further 24 since and he’s done the iron man for the past 8 years, he’s crazy
@@stlrmaster1562 wow! That is amazing to hear!
He fucking taped off his nippels
His trousers are so low I’m crying 😂
I am on the last hours of the most intense and hardest race of my life. In less than 7 hours, I'm going to be done with my bachelor's degree. As I watch this video, this morning, I'm crying like a baby. I had already watch it when it came out and probably a few more times after that, but it got me this morning... I hadn't realize how much work I had put into my degree in the last 3 years and I am so PROUD of myself... The words Matt wrote to himself just gave me the extra push I needed to finish my last essay...
Thank you Yes Theory.
Now that’s awesome
thats great!! congrats!!!
congrats bro
This comment needs more likes
Congrats
This made me cry.
This is so inspirational.
Good on you Matt.
Gandalf the Grey thx Gandalf
Me too but in a good way and i feel even more inspired to finish the 100 days of sweat even though its nothing to what matt did... So much love from me ❤
Never been so inspired in my life. Matt, yes theory and for everything you preach, thank you. Keep seeking discomfort
matt was the only one who did it tho haha
Half marathon - full marathon - half ironman - full ironman. Matty poo, you're inspiring lives!! We're beyond proud! Love you man!❤❤
Yashasvi M well said
Man, I watched this and just cried. I’m so young, and I’ve got so much things I can do. My parents provided me with so many opportunities they haven’t ever had. Why do I take everything for granted. I have no goal in life. Watching this made me realise I need to change this, I want to feel the feeling of achievement after so all the hard work. Hard work = success 💖
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the cinematography of Andreas Hem! So beautiful! So inspiring!!
and the edit and the music too was just perfect
I'm in tears
So much inspiration
Thank you matt for Inspiring us to go change the impossible:)

this was absolutely amazing guys! I‘ve never felt this many emotions while watching a video, stunning journey.
This video motivated me so much that I literally decided right after watching to go outside and run a half-marathon. And I fucking did it. Hadn't run a distance even close to this in over five years. Thank you so much for all you do, guys.
Nice job man
It's been a year since my last comment. In the meantime, I've run the halfmarathon distance >10 times (incl. in two official races), I've signed up for a marathon at the end of the year and will sign up for an Ironman 70.3 for next year. Thank you so much for the inspiration, I keep coming back to this video!
@@silvanolieger4783 Once your 70.3 is done, you know what to do next... #AnythingIsPossible
Hey do you have any updates on how its going with the iron man and all?
You made me cry.
Because you deserved it so much
Thanks for making me believe in my dreams!
The inspiration of this is worth the Ironman, thank you Matt!
I usually don’t cry, but this video hit me hard good stuff Matt 🤙🏼
Definitely feel you on that one.

Saw this video 4 years ago - I'm 21 years old and just finished my first IRONMAN yesterday. Thanks for inspiring me Matt.

Perfect quote
Made me cry for the second time when his voice came up
While i was readjng this comment i heared it in the video whta are the odds
I'm stuck with this quote in my mind as well, finished the video 10 mins ago but I just keep staring at the screen man
Good fukcking Job Matt. This is truly amazing. Thank you!
I wish they would start a podcast where they would talk more about the episodes and what it was like, thing that weren’t included in the video, and etc.
That's such a great idea! Like it so the guys see it!
Or another channel. A bts channel.

@@rocketblogs2874 go do one then ask that question
@@rocketblogs2874 I've run 32km. It took everything I have. I can't imagine an ironman.
Ceejay Dennes that still won’t kill u otherwise the race wouldn’t be allowed if it was known to kill you
I thought on 8:34 "oh no he didn't make it to 12 hours limit"
Is that the time of day or the participants time?
@@sosirisos it's the time since the race started. But not everyone starts at the same time because there are so many people.. so Matt probably started about 10 minutes after the first person started
I envy the friendship between you three so much. I pray to find relationships like that.
Keep making videos I subbed man
later on in life when you have a couple of really amazing and special friends you are going to look back and say. "Remember, you used to think this was impossible."
The exact thing came in my mind.
I truly pray for the same.. have a friendship like this, and you don't anything else from life

IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW AMMAR WENT IN FOR THAT HUG AT 8:32 CAUSE MATT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO PASS OUT. ITS SO PRECIOUS I REPLAYED IT AT LEAST 8 TIMES
SEE THE TIME IT SHOWS 12:08:50 NOT 11:58:26
Those clocks start running from the very first person. Doubtful he was in the first set given he had never done this before.
11:58 from the time he crossed the start line
i come back to this video every so often just to see that hug
Anshul Agarwal he was likely in a wave that went 10 minutes after the first so his time was essentially that on the board minus 10.
8:33 that hug.. i felt that , i can't stop crying now ;( , yes theory are incredible, im lost on words.. all the love to you guys
Wow - this is on a whole other level of editing.
Had goosebumps for a good minute after watching this.
Edit: thx for the likes y'all
i cant watch Yes Theory anymore... every episode makes my eyes water.
Congrats Matt
Edit: Wow didn't even think my comment would be seen thanks to all of you who have liked it. This is probably gonna be the closest I ever get to having Yes Theory read my words so I will take this chance to thank Yes Theory for changing the way I go about my life. From the moment i subscribed to this channel you guys have very quickly changed the way I face new challenges and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next. You guys are incredibly inspiring and are changing millions of lives with your kindness, the world can learn a thing or two from you guys. Please never stop what you are doing, I hope to one day meet you guys in person!
Much love to you guys
I am straight up crying rn!
It’s called crying
Hey Matt,
Congratulations on officially becoming an Ironman and thank you for sharing your story. As I write this I am only 12 days away from racing in a triathlon that will make or break my dreams of competing in college and was feeling unprepared and doubtful that I can do it. After seeing this I have a new sense of determination to do everything I can to push myself for the next 12 days and on that morning to achieve my goals and qualify for the USA Junior Elite Triathlon National Championship
UPDATE: The race went alright! I was a little disappointed because I didn’t qualify for nationals, but I did end up getting to talk to a few college coaches. Now those coaches have continue to show interest in taking me on as what my coach calls a “swim project” as I am not a strong swimmer but an exceptional cyclist and runner. Thank you all so much for the support!!!
You can do it bro
You got this don’t give up it’s all in the mindset!
you got this! so many people suport you love you now dont let them down!!
You got this!!!! You will dominate!!!! Just do your best that is all that matters.
How did it go?
Why was I weeping when Matt crossed the finish line. The slow-mo montage of everyone celebrating GOT ME. So incredible!!
Here I am, in my bed with a large pepperoni pizza to myself🤦🏽♂️
Hahaahahaha, my man

Ha ha same🍕🙋♀️
BOO YA
Fuckkkk 😭😂😂

11h58 .. that's literally crazy, two minutes away.
Nothing is impossible
Congrats Matt
very proud of him completing the ironman, which is insane, but the clock behind him, when he finishes, says 12h08... seems a bit fishy to me..
* edit : just checked the official results. It is correct, my bad!
Florent De Deken he had hugs fo 10 minutes maybe
@@florentdedeken yeah even I was like oh he missed by 8 mins, but yeah.
Ironman now uses staggered starts that's why it says 12:08 Matt started 10 minutes after the fastest athletes
www.active.com/triathlon/articles/6-faqs-on-ironman-s-new-swim-starts?page=2
Florent De Deken that's because they have one running timer that starts as soon as the first whistle or horn or whatever goes off but since they have so many people some start way farther back so their time doesn't start until they get to the start line
Ammar: marathon
Matt: ironman
Thomas: ....
😂😂 love you guys!
Holy crap you've made me cry 😭 I'm so proud Matt, congrats 👊❤️
How funny would it be if kid just past him
“What it is, is the construct that we’ve created, our personalities is so strong that you have to do something extreme to be able to transcend that, to be able to break through those things because we’re so engrained with our personalities and we believe that’s who we are. It’s just when you do something of an extreme nature like to the extent when you’re doing an Ironman you get to transcend that. You get to see what, what sits below that surface. You get to see you actually have a choice that there’s something more than who you pretend to be and whilst we’re really attached to who we are as individuals there’s so much more to life we have that freedom of choice”
the last sentence got me crying so hard
This is INCREDIBLE! INSANE! WHY AM I CRYING!!! Thank you for the constant inspiration you seriously rock!
Me too. At the end I started to cry like bro i-
When he finished I started to get all emotional
Bro, you guys should lowkey do a series on where u rebuild a homeless persons life. Like,get a job,haircut,etc.
Each Season is focused on 1 person.I would enjoy the series and i think other people would too.

Seek Discomfort
Erza Rama yes
do that
That kinda sounds like queer eye. Like the idea though
80% of them will get into the same habits and lifestyle within 3 months. But for the 20% that will actually change their lives it is worth it.
What you have to remember is that most of the homeless people are homeless because of their habits, what they feel and think. Try to change a lifetime of that in a few months.. won't happen with alot of them
I AGREE but i would like hearing their stories and building their lives up again

Is impossible possible?
I have been a runner my whole life but never did I think I was capable enough to do something as intense as this. I use to watch this video on repeat and listen to it on daily runs. It really was inspiring to me and about two years ago it helped push me to set a goal of completing an Ironman in under 12 hours just like Matt. Now, a year after finishing 11:52 in my race, I am continually setting higher and higher goals for myself inside and outside of the running world. I thought it was about time to come here and finally give recognition to some people who truly deserve it. Thank you guys for being the people you are and for inspiring me to become the best version of myself that I could be. I still watch this video from time to time when I need some extra motivation (and to remind myself that I beat Matt by a whole 6 minutes 😉). Again, thank you to all of you for being who you are and for what you do.
I saw 12:08 on the board out back and I was so sad for a moment. I'm glad Matt made it under 12. Congrats!
And those are some really great friends, supporting you all the way through.
Same! But that's the total time the race has taken so it depends on which corral you started with. If you think you're slower, you'll usually start later.
@@livingthesummerlifex True. Time doesn't start until you cross the starting line. The time on the big board is from the first competitor crossing the line.
His time was actually 11:57:44 according to the Ironman website: eu.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/santa-rosa/results.aspx?y=2019&rd=20190511&race=santarosa&bidid=977&detail=1#axzz5sqBgXYQ2

For the last 3-4 years i wanted to run a half-marathon but the best i could do was 12km because i wasn't training constantly. After seeing this clip i registered for a half marathon that takes place in 30 days time. I will have 30 days to train for this. Thank you "Yes Theory" for being such a source of inspiration.
Edit: I actually did it! I can't believe i actually ran a half-marathon. Thank you again Matt for inspiring me and other thousands of people!
Next step: a full marathon!
Edit 2 (09 oct 2022): 3 years after my first half-marathon i finally ran my first marathon in under 4 hours
lets go!
anyone notice the old guy at the back @6:05??
wooow ill be damn!!!
And he is more ripped than I’ll ever be lmao
5:21 that phone call with Aaron. Just wow. Such incredible words of wisdom. Thank you.
I live in Santa Rosa! I wish I was there man! Proud of you Matt! ❤️
OMG same!!! I actually passed by there in the evening. Wish I had known he was doing the race.
That's so cool! I live in Sebastopol and was there, too. Wish I'd known he was running.
Same here. Wish I would have gone to see it.
I ended up getting a picture with them! It was super cool.

I feel so proud of my dad right now. He has done 5 IronMans in 10 hours and a bunch half IronMans. Like dude, I didnt realisehow big of a struggle it really is.
Wow I wish you and your dad all the best 🎉❤
Big respect for Dad!
This is truly so beautiful and inspiring

There was so much love in this video it brought me to tears ❤️
Title should read, I Conquered the 12 hr race.... not the 12 hr race that almost killed me lol
Lol, he failed tho hahaha
Edit, sorry apparently he started 10 mins after everyone else so fair play
Should have been clearer in the video so keeping the comment regardless
He did under 12 hours though nonetheless... fail?
@@legandable how did he fail?
How funny would it be if kid just past him
12:08 was the race time. But who cares. I did an Olympic triathlon in 6h :) my time was not recorded because I didn't make the checkpoints fast enough.
