Draw My Life: Running Journey to Chicago Marathon 

Zach makes the best series intro videos for series that only last one episode, the intro.

What an incredible journey so far, I've been watching your old videos and catching the nostalgia. Good luck Zach on the marathon, we're all rooting for you!!! 🎉

Zach, your story reminds me allot of my own, former Div I athlete (hockey), not feeling fulfilled by the NCAA college experience, I got to the point where I began to hate the sport that I once loved, I also walked away. I’m nearing 40 now in a few days and I still to this day play hockey in some form, but in my 20’s it took me a few years to realize I am not defined by hockey, just like you are not defined by running, or this channel, we are all a great sum of many things that make us special, life will go on if you never ran again, or if you never posted another video again, don’t forget that, you can exist in this world without any of that, and your loved ones will love you all the same. It’s a very freeing realization, it made all the difference for me, when you make choices, make them because it’s something you want, that will fulfill you, not because anyone else thinks you should (mom, dad, nike, Hoka, RU-vid viewers) do it for you. You can’t go wrong. Life’s a journey, sometimes you get to speed down smooth roads, sometimes you crawl along rough trails, and sometimes you have to pull a uturn and take a different path, it’s all part of life. Great video kid, you’re obviously a talented runner and cinematographer. Take care.

Production quality of this video was just 🔥! Content was even more so!

Zach with a 5 o clock shadow 🥵🥵🥵

Pumped to keep up with this. Great video, man!

Good luck Zach and thanks for being 1 of my inspirations to start marathoning myself

hey zach, love the content

It's really nice to hear how your mindset has changed over the past year. I think we viewers definitely watched you and thought you seemed lost. It's really great to see you found a path again and that you have a goal to train for. Best of luck on the Chicago Project!

Glad you're rekindling the motivation to achieve a goal. Good luck with the training and hopefully I'll run into ya in Chicago!

Well produced vid, this is the Zach levet we know and love

thanks zach. it takes a lot to be willing to open up about some of the hardships you've faced/how you've come short. good luck! after over a year away from running, i am also finally coming back to it. good luck

Awesome video! Best of luck for Chicago Zach (:

So excited for this! Wishing you luck and health.

Tuesday Schedule?! Drop a like 👆 if you want the old schedule back :)

I'm stuck in the sofa watching these amazing videos when I should go out and run. Great content! (:

So glad my boy Zack is back on track! Let’s goooooooo!

Thank you for the great video Zach! I wish you the best continuing on your future endeavors . Also Good luck running the Chicago marathon. Don't burn yourself out during training;)

Best video yet so far. Cant wait for future videos

I appreciate you sharing your journey, and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

Me to Zach, I’ve lost the passion for run since all races were shutdown!

When Zach post's it makes my week.

This was an amazing video! Saying good luck, from many fellow runners :)

One of the best RU-vidrs ever!

He’s back!!! Love it!

best video in a while 🔥

Middle school achilles issues that just don't go away are a surprisingly common issue it seams

I’m rocking the Hoka Mach 4 for my daily trainer and the Nike Vaporfly Next %2 for my race shoes. So we share a similar taste in brands. I do have a pair of Saucony Endorphin Speeds for my longer runs at the moment.

Best of luck and I'm excited to see how the Marathon goes!

Can’t wait to watch your running journey !!

Humble expressions. Great vid.

My wife and I will also be in Chicago. It is a great, flat run and it almost never ... I don't want to jinx it. Let's just say that a lot of people feel safe scheduling outdoor weddings on Chicago Marathon day. Good luck

Hoping to see you at Chicago!! though, by the time I start you will be done and chilling with a beer

Good luck man. I recently broke 11:20 in the 2 mile as my last 2 mile cross country race with a time of 11:14. You leave me aspired to leave behind a great xc highschool career. Thank you dude :D

Do whatever is best for you, Zach. You’re young and you have your whole life ahead of you. You only have one life so listen to your heart. Fans come and go.

This was good. Keep on running. Nike and Hoka come together for Ironman sponsorship. maybeeeee

Sweet dude! I’m training for Chicago as well. Seen you on the course!

This was a really nice video! I’m excited for the journey!

Zach Never misses

Zach When you have no goals for big events you can still do some local 10k or local 5k's or other local races you can go for the win there (im not). I do this year the 20k of brussels but i also run somtimes in a local race whats also is really fun!

Pumped pumped pumped

HE CAN DRAW?? HE CAN RUN?? WHAT'S NEXT? A GAMING CHANNEL?!?!?!

He is BACK 😍

Your best video in a while!

I live in the Chicago burbs, might have to go support my boy😩😈

cheeering 4 you Zack!

YAY I’M EXCITED

2nd marathon let's go

cant wait for this

❤🏃🏻‍♂️

Goated

Good deal. Best of luck in Chitown. (Used to live there.) I know you love LA, but take a look at the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Seattle). It’s a lot better environment. Hope you don’t train yourself into any injuries. Stay safe, be well.👍

good stuff -- where's the surfing video?

I love these vids

still the best running youtuber i know, much love zach!! i have my first 5k race of the season, anyone got any advice? thinking about going out slow, picking it up towards the end, and putting in surges at every half mile, anyone got any other ideas?

Zach you better win or we’re all unsubscribing

Have you tried the Saucony Endorphin line? Worth the try if you havent!

Zach running is your thing out there you can do a lot of things with it become a personal coach and became a cross country coach or track distance at a middle school or high school Or college you have a talent just think or take some time get a nice hair cut and out there

Is Zach back?🎉

Cool

nice!!

hype

Is that a Speedmaster on the wrist 😲

We need a kofuzi collab

👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice

W vid

Where can I get this marathon journey journal shown at 6:35 👀

What’s your goal time

Not first

Drop the channel... Go back to school, somewhere a bit less demanding than W&M. Pick a solid D2 program and rack up All American honors. Tic toc... That’s the sound of your running career slowly expiring.

absolute joke
