My favorite lesson from this video is people are kind!
I started crying when I saw that 3:00 pacer just cheering you... they can probably run faster, but they are running for other people! Also you, Floris, dedicating this to your family... after health, family is the most important thing in the world.

Favorite quote from this video "Don't ever underestimate the marathon". Sums it all up pretty well.

Wow! That was awesome! Thank you for recording that- I was set to run Tokyo 2024 as well and was sidelined 3 weeks before the race with a stress fracture in my hip. Watching your video brought me to tears and it was incredible to see the race through you! Congrats! You are inspiring!

[davidstella]

Way to dig deep in those tough miles. Always impressive to see how you pull it off with some major obstacle in your way. Lots of inspiration here for my marathon in 1 week! Thanks Floris!

“Mind in the right place” that is such a huge part of distance sports. I’m new to distance sports and it truly is mind over matter. Thank you for your videos and podcast, I appreciate what you do!

[jimjuliahollister]

It was so helpful to see this as I prepare for my first marathon at age 63. Thanks for the tips on nutrition, and the reminder not to underestimate the marathon.

Seeing Richard Whitehead at 1:33… I’m blown away. How brilliant. Now, to watch the rest of the video 🙏🏼

Floris, found your channel on my way to running my first marathon this June. Thank you for sharing your perspective during the race and your training. You’re inspirational in more ways than one! Keep charging!

[hannahinhealth]

"Run the mile you are in" this mindset is what keeps me going on long runs too ❤ I dream of running Tokyo one day. Congrats Floris!!

[Roman-hspq]

Congrats with the race !
And thanks for all the valuable info about Zone 2 training and especially for the link to Zones calculator where you put your age, resting and max. HR.

Before October 12th, 2023, I was depressed as hell, unfit and skinny fat, burned out at my job with relationships that were cracking.

Now I’m less depressed, in my best form, sharing a new hobby with my girlfriend. My easy runs are in 9min/mile instead of 13m/m, I can run sub 2 half, and average 30miles per week training for my first marathon.

[kristoffercedric]

I've seen a lot of follow along marathon vids, but this is one of the best ones yet. You look so relaxed and positive while racing! Truly inspirational man, subbed!

[espinosb]

Floris, I discovered your zone 2 training video last summer and that inspired me to increase my weekly mileage! That snowballed into beginning to believe I could do marathon...leading to applying for the Tokyo Marathon...and then to FINISHING the Tokyo Marathon (my first one)!! Thank you for being an inspiration to this community and I'm already looking forward to the next one!!

[seekingUltraNick]

Well done once again, Floris!! Love your heart and grit… we’ve all been there, whether it’s mile 18, 22, 25 or mile 10! Dig deep and run a smart race. Great job, man.

[seandashner]

Dude, amazing execution, filming yourself, running, picking up the water cup, drinking the water without spilling, properly placing the cup in a trash receptacle. Legendary.

[JavierISampedroTNF]

This video brought me memories when I ran it in 2016, it was my very first marathon also. I managed to make it my goal of sub 4hours but after km 33 it was tough but totally worth it in the end. Well done on your race and sure you enjoyed all the vibes from Tokyo streets! congrats once again!

[joelsoncoelho]

Congratulations for your sub3 Floris. I ran sub3 also last year (2023 edition); you transported me to the race again. Thank you. Many many zigzags on the track. So you've completed your 5th too. I'm going to London 2025 to complete the majors, with Sydney yet on my pocket. Listen to you on my next long run (love The Extramilest Show).

favorite lesson i learned as im training for my first half marathon is that it's all mental and nobody can push you to do it. it's all you!

[severiner]

Well done on a great marathon! You worked out where you were in terms of fitness and just stayed with that. I was impressed how relaxed you looked. Loved seeing the supporters and what lovely pacers! I have a marathon coming up and the training is not going as planned because of managing an injury so my takeaway for the day will be, run the race I am able to do rather than the one I had hoped for. That will be my best chance of having the best experience possible. Thank you

@fiorisGierman the videos you made that remain etched in my mind the most are the Low HR training vids where you are running a sub 3 while talking to the viewers the whole time. I know all that work you put in is what makes it seem easy to you, and hard to some of us! Great work and may God allow you to continue to shine your light upon others!

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations! Thank you for filming this year’s Tokyo Marathon where I ran as well. Absolutely amazing event! So well organized and I also PR’d by 4 mins and finished at 3:43:33
