THE 100K RUN | What a 17-Hour Run Taught Me

Huge thanks to Dani Rönneberg for all the drone footage! He has some beautiful drone shots on social media, check them out:

Omg, goes immediately from diarrhea to dipping a water bottle into a stagnant mosquito pool! You aren't making this easy on yourself haha

[evazubeck]

Awesome storytelling! Well done on your accomplishment and on making ultra-running look exciting in a video, which is not that easy 😄

Stomach issues are the literal worst, it's so easy to give up if your stomach just doesn't want to work with you.
Fantastic display of willpower though, great editing as always.

Congrats on the 100k!

That's insane. I wonder how stupid a person must be to run 100k. I hope I'm stupid enough to do it myself some day 😀

I remember my first 100k, granted it was only 10 months ago. I finished in 16h 14min, I ate so much brisket, pancakes, bacon, candy, fruits, PB and J sandwiches, etc. that I think I ended the day with a calorie surplus. My course wasn't quite so hilly as this one, but I'm still proud to have finished it at 17 years old.

This mini documentary is one of the best of what i watch in sport category, the way you're telling the story, the filming, the music ... Everything is on point ✨ good job John on your first 100k marathon and on this masterpiece video 📸 .

I was one of the runners this year in Yllä-Pallas nuts 100k ultra as well this year, I finished at around 14 hours. I can only imagine how tough it was to fight through those stomach issues and it shows how strong you are as well.

As someone who overcame obesity 3.5 years ago and becoming a tough ultra runner It truly is as you said yourself venturing a journey into oneself and exploring that.

Love this! You motivated me to complete my first 22K trail run (1100m elevation) and you have now motivated me to train for a longer race and learn more about my limits. Thank you man!

He earned his “first cookie in the cookie jar” from this event, David Goggins motivation all day

[RpaRalte]

Dude, your videos are always nicely edited. And your stories are so inspiring! I never miss your videos.

[cya]

dont be so humble. you did a fantastic first 100k race and you were not destroyed at all. tired, exhausted sure, but still on your feet and going forward. you are a tough cookie.

[AA-kens]

This has to be the best video you’ve ever made on this channel just insanity wow wow wow wow

[himanshuanand]

Dude, I don't know how you had the sense of mind left to film yourself while running for 100 km. Kudos!

[raphaelanjou]

You are such an inspiration ! I'm 19 and can for now only dream about doing something this huge, but seeing you do it just motivates me even more. Because of studies, I can't really focus on training but I can guarantee you that in 2-3 years maybe I'll do my best to follow your path.
For now, I'll keep doing my 4.5 km early morning runs (3-4 times a week) and see what the future brings me.
Good luck for your next projects and what you dream about, thank you for being amazing, thank you for giving me that urge to live the unlazy way !

P.S. If anyone sees this in quite some time, I don't know maybe 6 months, 1 year, 2, 3, don't hesitate to comment under this one so I can get a reminder that I wrote this one day. Thank you !

Edit : spelling...

“7 people passed me, because I was taking a dump.” 😂
