A few months ago i found your videos. Ive never ran a day in my life but as of recently i, a 240lb man at 23 decided to start exercising regularly. I can now run a 3+miles a day and im finally making an effort to take care of my health. Your positive attitude is so motivating. Keep doing what you do!👍👍👍

[TheUnlazyWay]

Totally agree with every point (stomach problems are the worst😭)!!
Would love to see your journey to a 100-mile run😏

[LukasSkate]

Totally agree. I ran my first 50k last month and in my prep marathon I had stomach problems after 21k and 21k to go.. Rubbing my belly in circles the whole run, was one of the best tips for stomach problems I got from another runner that day. Hope nobody have to deal with it but just in case, remember this one ;)

I am currently training for 110k race in April next year. I found myself doing too much training in zones 3 and 4, and my heart rate going crazy high even when I am not running hard. I switched back to base training for 10 weeks (going really slow)and then building to race specific training. Thanks for great advice Goran !

[dewetmostert]

Doing a 45km trail run in 1.5 week and this definitely helps!

[lynchs]

I'm happy to see you have some support from sponsors. Which means more videos for us :)
Great video as always!

[sturmherooflance]

I've run every day since my birthday two months ago thanks to your channel

[lindatalla]

Even though I only do 5K maybe a 10K. I could never see myself running an ultra marathon. I enjoy watching your videos tho. You speak honestly on how you deal with challenges mental and physical. It helps me with my running. Thank you!

Göran - I’ve followed you for a year or so now, and I feel like I really needed to watch this video. I have been going through a tough time recently and hearing you towards the end of this video really motivated me to keep on going with my running career. Much love from the UK!

[WimukthiBandara]

Literally just discovered your channel. I love running and I'm binge watching all of your videos. Absolutely love your channel.

[ivan_collignon]

Hello from Mexico 🇲🇽 I recently started watching your channel, and it's really inspiring. I'm a runner, this year I ran my first and second half marathon of my life and I'm looking forward to run three next year. And maybe someday I'll be able to run a full marathon and some trail races, or maybe an ultra like you, I also like hiking. Also, a couple weeks ago I bought the Coros Pace 2 and it's an amazing watch, I'm more motivated now that I see that you use a Coros watch too. Keep it un man! 👍🏼🔥

Love the video Goran, big fan of your channel! Still very early on in my running journey, but up to clocking in about 25-30km a week now & want to build up and build up, managed a 5k PB of 22:01 last week & was super happy with it, long way off from your sub 17 though! Who knows, maybe I’ll do an ultra one day! You’re a real inspiration, keep doing YouTube!

[insiderugbywithmark]

Goran another great video, thank you for your tips. I am starting back after a long injury and this time Ultra's are on my radar, and this video will be bookmarked for future reference, stay well, stay healthy.

[cachecaver]

Thanks for putting this together. I'm currently preparing for a Grand Canyon R2R2R run in October 2023 and your experience is super helpful. Both in giving me new things to think about, and for validating my current training.

[henrygale]

Great video bud! I've got my 4th 50km coming up. And in October I have a 56 miler (90km). Will be longest I've ever ran. Excited/scared. Keep up the good work!

[joenankeylargo]

This is very helpful, I'm preparing for a 21k trail this coming November

[haveless]

Welcome to the Coros Family 🙌🏽 Got mine (Vertix) 2 years ago and I still love it. The battery life is just insane. Even on a 4 weeks trip around Europe I forgot the charging cable and I came back from the trip with 3% battery life 😅 and I was running a lot with GPS tracking.
Keep up the great content and btw because of you I ordered a Insta 360 today😉 but the new one with the 1 inch sensor.
Next year I’m going on a longer trip around Sweden, Norway, Finnland and Danmark… if you are up for a run and a little video production, let me know. Cheers

[noahbrink]

I've watched u for ever! U have come so far and ur such an inspirational creator man!

[severiner]

This actually made me smile a lot... you seem to have learned a lot (from your mistakes). Thank you for sharing this with us 🙂

[jfrioux]

Starting to think seriously about that, weirdly enough. Looking at a 50-60km or similar to start with. No race scheduled yet but working on increasing my weekly mileage slowly but consistently over the next 5-6 months, from around 40 currently, but that's all road running, cause its easy and convenient for me. Also have a few marathons under my belt. But that's really the longest I ran.
Happy to have found this video.
Theres a 233m of elevation path 3km away from here I really need to hit more often. And need to stop running so fast and start running for longer.
Thank you for this, and cheers from! 🇨🇦
