I love that RU-vid keeps finding the Barkley marathon gems and delivering them to us with the algorithm we deserve. Congrats karel, you're a legend.

A few years ago I randomly stumbled across a documentary about the Barkley Marathons, this documentary inspired me to start running myself. This year I'm hoping to complete my first Ultra. It has been an incredibly journey and all of this thanks to great people like Karel who post their adventures online to inspire others.

@noannellesky9360 2 месяца назад

@@janinefellner2711 It's a delicious Belgian traditional dish (even better with a side of fries!). You take canned peaches (those in syrup), and you top the peach halves with canned tuna mixed with mayo (the Belgian kind, the recipe is defined by law), a tiny bit of ketchup and salt and pepper. As a vegetarian of nearly 10 years, it's the only dish I still miss haha. It's so good!

Incredible! Really can't imagine a more dramatic ending, what an unreal performance and an amazing film. So interesting that in Joe's 2023 Barkley documentary, he had talked about how he wasn't feeling like Karel & Jared had any interest in running with him for loop 3 and beyond, so he goes to sleep - meanwhile here in this documentary, you can see Karel literally yelling for Joe at the gate to try to get the crew back together. Goes to show how perception can be so different between runners.

@NathanAus123 2 месяца назад

The calm thoroughness of Joren is impressive, especially during the interloopals. The way he makes sure you have everything you need in an extremely efficient manner speaks to how long you guys have been doing this together. Well done to both of you.

@karelsabbe8852 2 месяца назад

I like that the film shows Joe's role and how incredibly important he is. He's such an amazing guy!

@duhai1836 2 месяца назад

Karel: "I think i lost all my toenails." Joren: "It doesn't matter if you finish." What an incredibly caring and motivating friend you have! The film really shows the importance of a good support ( team) . Can't say too many good things about him. Much love to both of you. Congrats on making it into the history books of Barkley and achieving your goal! Greetings from Germany.

The most flemish part about running the Barkley is going "oh yes, peche tonijn!" at 7 AM after completing 2 loops! You're a legend Karel! I followed along during your performance and was super excited to hear your story first hand at the Nerdland Festival last year! Seeing you finish it once again in this film was an emotional rollercoaster all over.
