Dude, you are a masterful storyteller. Congratulations on finishing!

@kofuzi Год назад

thank you so much

@Dee_H Год назад

I was going to say the same thing! Your word voice is eloquent and meaningful. As a former runner and returning runner, you capture the spirit of a race and make me feel like it's possible to get back!

@joephet Год назад

So true

@fecardona Год назад

Wow, this production was like a high level documentary. Thank you, Mike.

@kofuzi Год назад

thank you

@johnsmithoninsta 10 месяцев назад

It really was!

@aliza3705 Год назад

The ending montage 😭 You worked so damn hard and deserve the best. Congrats again have a good rest

@kofuzi Год назад

thank you Aliza

@keiffactory Год назад

It's unbelievable to see how much joy you bring to people just by being yourself and approaching everyone and everything with a smile on your face. I've been having a hard time opening myself up to people but seeing your interactions with people gives me joy through the screen.

@keiffactory Год назад

I also just want to add that I'm so happy that you have found your calling and are able to do what you love full time. I started following you when you were still in the corporate world and now seeing you as a major influencer with so much impact over people makes me so happy

@kofuzi Год назад

thanks for your support all along the way. I'd still like to think of myself as a bit of an introvert loner. but runners are good people, and that makes interactions like these so easy to look forward to and enjoy.

@NevilleHorn Год назад

Not much of a RU-vid commenter, but I have say this is an absolute masterpiece. You captured the emotions of being a first time Boston finisher perfectly and I was choked up at the end. I actually saw you during the race and I came over and mentioned how much I enjoy your channel. I thanked you for what you do for the running community. You smiled and offered me a fist bump in return. Congratulations on your achievements both inside and outside the race.

@kofuzi Год назад

Thanks so much! Great to meet you!

@sharulafifi5450 Год назад

Kofuzi, you’re one of the reason I started running. I appreciate it 🤝🏼 Even at the age of 30, still feel like you gotta run while you can. Love you man!

@kofuzi Год назад

happy running!

@geert574 Год назад

What are u talking about man I'm 41 and run daily 😆

@cathynewyork7918 Год назад

@@geert574 I'm 73 and still running. Dave Obelkevich is 79 and finished his 46th New York City Marathon last November.

@gordonlau172 Год назад

I’m still basking in the afterglow of my first Boston marathon…..you captured the the feeling of the whole weekend . It took me along time to get to Boston and the journey was totally worth it . Thanks for the recap!

@kofuzi Год назад

Congratulations on getting to Boston!

@mikemarsman4539 Год назад

Your keeping this old runner motivated. Seeing this reminds me of the determination and dedication it takes to run a maratahon. Runners are a tight supportive group, and the fans, keep us all going,,, Thanks for taking us all on your journey, and keeping us young

The cinematography of runners weekend videos are always unmatched, Ko has taken this game to a whole new level 👏❤, it's time to cross borders to European soil and hopefully Africa someday. Stay blessed.❤🙏

@DeeKay1911 Год назад

Copenhagen is three weeks from Sunday. Let’s go!

@kofuzi Год назад

I'm working on it. I've pitched a couple ideas to a couple brands

@cathynewyork7918 Год назад

I would love to see Kofuzi do some of the European marathons, but not interested in Africa.

@shannonsides6017 Год назад

Ko, this was incredible. I remember when I first started following you was right after you BQ’d at Tunnel and so it felt surreal to finally see Kofuzi live out this running goal. The final 600m stretch where you showed past race finishes that were MUCH slower brought me close to tears. So so happy for you. I hope you had the best time. Thanks for helping make this such a memorable weekend for a lot of us Non Elites!

@kofuzi Год назад

It was so good to see you and run with you this weekend. It made it that much more special

@Julio_Zambrano Год назад

Man, you made me cry... that was a wonderful, inspiring story!!! I'm running my first Marathon in 2 days (Vienna City Marathon), and I just want to enjoy it! Thank you for sharing! Representing Kofuzi Run Club! 🐉

@pchan1728 Год назад

Congrats on finishing ❤ This is my very first time on your channel and wow. The love, the community, the people, the storytelling , the editing, everything about this was so beautiful and touching. I am not a runner by any means but I am so touched by just this video alone. Going to subscribe and binge your videos now. Much love and take care ❤

@kofuzi Год назад

thanks so much for watching! welcome to the community!

@georgesoto5436 Год назад

Wow, what an awesome video, out of words…what a story, so inspiring that at 54 years young, I don’t loose hope that one day I will be there. Thanks for sharing this story.

@kofuzi Год назад

hope to see you there

@nicobetancourt7629 Год назад

These are the best running videos on RU-vid. I’ve watched runner’s weekend videos more than once in anticipation for the next one… but when a new one comes out… I save it like the last sip of a great bottle of wine. I make sure I’m not busy… have no emails… and just sit and enjoy

@johnsmithoninsta 10 месяцев назад

Same! They’re great!

@jason.rams4 Год назад

Definitely fighting back the emotions! Lol 8 miles is my farthest run and after watching this I feel like I can run an entire marathon! Absolutely inspiring!

@kofuzi Год назад

I’ve been there

@daliaflores15 Год назад

The tears started flowing at 33.16 🥲🥲 so proud of you, great job man!!!!

@kofuzi Год назад

Thank you 🙏

@joyaclub Год назад

It’s great to see the connections you’ve made with so many people. Your videos helped this oldtimer get back in to running after a 10 year hiatus. Thanks for continuing to inspire.

@kofuzi Год назад

Happy running!

@tonymacias3263 Год назад

Another great Runners Weekend vid. These never seem to be long enough. Thanks for always taking us along for the ride!

@kofuzi Год назад

Thank you, Tony. Thank you

@duydnguyenn Год назад

Yo this is so inspirational, with your raw emotional footage. For some reasons 3:04 is perfect because we know you will be coming back and beat it. Hope I could run Boston someday. Cheers!

@charleyweinhardt Год назад

29:45 that was a crazy dynamic! endless dudes running, endless girls cheering... nobody's loosing pace in that! 😁

@Trystania Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing your story and congratulations on all the work you put in! I started running in late 2018 at age 29 (female) and never thought I could run a marathon. Now I‘ll run my third marathon in Berlin this year (hoping to get a nice sub 4 this time after 4:13 and 4:00). Of all the runners I follow, you inspire me the most. I hope to meet you at a shakeout run someday! Also I loved how your video started off looking desperately for food and by the end, you had plenty of it. 😂 Greetings from Germany!

@kofuzi Год назад

I’m always looking for food

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 Год назад

Watching this, the tears welled up in my eyes in the last 3 minutes as you turned onto Boylston. The combination of exhaustion and elation accompanied by the soundtrack of the roar of spectators (heard as one turns on Mt. Hereford) is guaranteed to give goosebumps if not elicit tears. As always, you’ve summoned all the emotions of last weekend with your eloquent storytelling and terrific filming and editing skills. I’m thinking sentimentally of the journey undertaken by so many of us back in 2019 when we both ran Tunnel Marathon but none of us knew each other yet, personally. We never could have imagined what was in store for us, both individually and as a community!

@kofuzi Год назад

we've been through so much individually. and it's good to now go through these adventures together

@Deadbuck73 Год назад

Yo! I’m speechless at the magic that you captured and put into this. This wasn’t just about a race on any given Monday. It was about living right and following your heart. Congratulations Kofuzi!

@kofuzi Год назад

so good to finally meet you at the finish!

@CatherineSui-Miller Год назад

Your story truly inspires me as a late starter and 50+ long distance runner. Keep on running and pushing through our goals 💪

Michael, just brilliant. I missed Boston this year through injury & watching vlogs has been my only connection to the race this year. Your comments when you turned into Bolyston St just brought back a million memories for me. Boston is truly special. A runner’s heaven. Thank you for sharing a very special moment of your life.

@Weebei Год назад

Damn Kofuzi, an inspiration! Great editing to paint the journey. You're inspiring me.

@yakiweiss546 Год назад

I can really feel the difficulty and distress in the footage, it's just amazing. how inspiring a marathon race is.

@kofuzi Год назад

it easy to get hooked on it

@kellybaker6353 Год назад

And will you be back to do it again? Yes. Yes, you will. Even the days that don't go as we'd like are ultimately good days. Keep up the awesome work, and get in some good recovery time!

@kofuzi Год назад

I'll be back for sure. Whether I'll be able to run it is another question that may be out of my hands.

@grover0127 Год назад

Your resilience, perseverance and story-telling is AWESOME! Congratulations Kofuzi!

@kofuzi Год назад

Good luck chasing that BQ!

@themanorruns Год назад

This one had me tearing up at the end. Being there not even to run the race, just to experience the Boston atmosphere was a combination of impostor syndrome, inspiration, motivation, anxiety, you name it. That atmosphere at the shakeouts and watching from Kenmore was an experience I’ll never forget, and seeing the emotion from the creators making videos of the weekend, I’m grateful to have been just the tiniest smidge of that experience. Thank you for everything you do Mike, you’re an absolute inspiration to runners everywhere 🙌🏻💚

@kofuzi Год назад

It was great to meet in person. I was glad you were there

Jarhett is so awesome! He helped me out at the ASICS custom area at the LA Marathon (I stood in line four times for a total wait of about 4 hours for 4 custom laminations!), and saw him wearing a Kofuzi jacket! We talked a bit about how awesome you are and for helping me out with my ABTA Brain Tumor run fundraiser a few years ago, and he agreed that you are amazing and that you have ties with ASICS as well. Congratulations to you on your Boston Marathon, and I look forward to seeing you in several years once I qualify and after wrestling/winning worlds (masters) in Olympic style wrestling! 🙏🏾

@pasadenaphil8804 Год назад

Excellent video! There aren't many Boston Marathon videos that capture what it is like to run it but this one does a great job of it. The top runners may be the main draw but it seems everyone in Boston knows someone who is running, even if at the back of the pack, and THAT is what makes the crowds so exciting as you run past them. It's like that for so much of the race too.

@kofuzi Год назад

The energy here is fantastic

@NPNenni23 8 месяцев назад

This has me hyped for Boston 24! Waiting to hear in cutoff times, hoping my 6:04 buffer does the trick

So fun! You knew everyone and everyone knew you. Found your channel in 2019 when preparing for my first BQ attempt at the Tunnel Marathon. It’s been a whirlwind from then until now - thank you for taking us along and for continuing to inspire us, Mike.
