The Rome Marathon left me in tears 

Your children have some father to look up to and be inspired by, amazing from you Robbie🏆

Fair play to you mate for battling on!

What a man! No jokes. You pushed yourself to the bitter end. Well done sir. Takes a man to upload himself crying to. X

Running a marathon is pretty impressive, running a marathon while ill in very hot weather is extremely impressive in a different way. Nice one Robbie.

Avid competitive marathon runner here; I always cry at the end of marathons, it never gets old! Well done for getting it done mate!!

Mate unreal effort, looked savage, fair fucking play

You ran a whole marathon AND you were sick, on top! You, Robbie, are a bloody brilliant man. I hope you're able to rest up, at home, now and celebrate a well-deserved win with your loved ones :) thanks for sharing!

Ah robbie you've nearly got me teared up! Such a top bloke 👏 well done again mate 💪 I'm still sure I'm going to meet you in Cleveleys one day 😂❤

Great job, running that distance, in any time, is a huge achievement.

Brilliant again Robbie. Don’t get easier do they? What’s your dream goal for a marathon, is then a specific time or specific race you want to run

thank you for showing the emotional side of this, i had something similar the other day, did a 30 mile walk and almost started crying, i felt an overwhelming urge to cry, learnt a lot thank you

Probably not what you had wanted it to be with all your training etc but you’ve completed another marathon should be proud. Great video summary. Well done.

You’re an inspiration Robbie, 99% of people wouldn’t have been able to push on (including me) but you did! I know for a fact everyone is proud of you 💪

Robbie!! Seeing you cry is heartbreaking. You absolutely smashed it though. Bloody good going! Can't wait to see you again in May (btw it's Ruby Rose, I just changed my @)

Well Done Robbie 💪🏼 Always put your health 1st 🥇 Don’t like seeing the Legend upset 😢

I fancy that (Rome Marathon not the virus). Thanks for the video as always Robbie.

Why does crying Robbie bring out a protective feeling in me?!?

I have my first marathon in a few weeks in Manchester, and have been unable to train for almost 2 weeks with reoccurring shin splints. Now doing a phased return to running but still feeling anxious about race day. Thanks for being so transparent and honest in this video, it’s really encouraging. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Fair play, Sir Knox. Marathons are rough at the best of times, made harder with heat exhaustion. Another top video from you.

Ah robbie you smashed it man! Weirdly nearly had me in tears too with your final chat to camera prior to finishing. Proud of you bud x

Well done for battling on, great video! Doing my first marathon in a few weeks in Brighton. Have only got up to 28km in training 😱

The fact that you still managed to finish even with a virus and heat exhaustion shows how mentally tough you are, it's an immense mental battle doing a marathon even without those going against you. Well done Robbie, it was heartbreaking seeing you crying at the end there. You should be very proud!

What an accomplishment Robbie! I also ran the Rome Marathon and the last few kilometers were BRUTAL!

You should do the sparkasse 3 lander marathon in October! It's crosses 3 countries (austria,Switzerland and germany). I done it last year and it was great, amazing views and has a mini concert before the race start. Really interesting and different marathons that you'd enjoy

Amazing effort Robbie - nothing like pushing yourself to the max! When I ran my first half marathon last year, I kept feeling like I was going to cry on the last 2km and I wasn’t sure why. Crossing the finish line I burst into tears 😂 well done on the marathon!

Last 10k is the most relatable marathon footage I’ve seen. They beat you up, even without the virus 😬 Well done champ, hope the next one brings more smiles 💪🏻

Well done Robbie! It's a mega hard task in the crappy UK weather, nevermind the glorious sunshine in Italy whilst battling a cold! Onto the next one 💪🏽

Rome is one of the most wonderful marathons and congratulations on completing it! You did well mate! 🙇‍♂

Hi Robbie what a great effort to even complete the marathon. It's a scary feeling when heat exhaustion hits you on top of a virus. You should be proud of yourself mate

I ran my first marathon in Edinburgh last year because of you Robbie! You are a true inspiration and have yet again made me look into the potential of running the one in Rome too! ...so thanks for that 😅

I simply just love Robbie knox

Heat exhaustion is brutal! I remember I got it on a day trip to Athens visiting the Acropolis and it was horrendous, so I'm glad you're doing a lot better now and well done for battling on and completing the race! That medal is so cool too! Rome is my favourite city and loved seeing the beach and the marathon as I've never done either before

Massive respect for sticking with it mate. You should be very proud of yourself, especially when you were unwell. Top bloke! 🎖🏅🥇

Been there done that and cried at the end! Its when you cross that finish line that you realize how bloody hard it was and you cannot control the emotions. Time is not important, you finished and thats all that matters! Congrats Robbie!

Well done Robbie, better than I could have done.

Dream of a marathon abroad but London is the bucket list. You absolutely smashed it as well as an unreal video to look back on. Legend

As usual, class act, Robbie.

Well done Robbie. Doing my first marathon next month, your portugal one last year inspired me

inspiring stuff Robbie you absolute legend. Had me tearing up there!

Heat Exhaustion ‘I wouldn’t recommend it’ 😂 Such a fantastic display of grit, you don’t often associate such happy go lucky guys with toughness but 99.9% of people would’ve packed that in and not finished. Just when we thought Robbie couldn’t be anymore of a hero. 🦸‍♂️ Well done 👏

Love u Robbie. Can’t wait to see the live show in Edinburgh.

Robbie that was seriously f*cking impressive 👏🏻 what a machine and can I also add your hair stayed magnificent all the way through!

Well done for completing a marathon, Robbie, especially under those circumstances. It is probably only after you've had such an experience that we learn to start listenjng to ouf bodies more. I hope your recovery is going well. I was slso in Rome over the weekend, the was a far smaller event on Monday starting in the Vatican, the evening flight had several people on it moving rather stiffly. Keep up the good work.

Well done Robbie! Seriously strong effort that, and to do it with a virus as well! What a MACHINE :))

Hey Robbie, FirmestTadpole here! Just wanted to say MEGA proud of our MEGA Robbie! You are an inspiration to us all mate, no idea how you do it. Hope to see you again (In Cardiff this time) in a couple of months! Take care :D

I was there. Conditions were so difficult! Amazing effort! 👏

This was me too at the Rome marathon last Sunday. I felt so unwell. I was shivering and wretching and really struggled. Heat exhaustion is awful. Thank you so much for sharing your video. A very honest account. It was my 3rd time doing Rome and a very different experience to the previous times (one in torrential rain). The start was chaos. Hopefully they'll sort it out for next year. Huge congratulations for finishing when you were feeling so rough x

You are a wiser man for the experience. You did it & survived!

Never seen you like that mate, bloody scared me. Great run though, you were passing a lot of walkers, doing it in that heat looked brutal.

What an incredible achievement Robbie, especially with the factors going against you. You completed something that only 0.01% of the population each year have!

I done this last Sunday too. This marathon made me very emotional too. I think a combination of a lack of space at the beginning, the course measuring about 2km long on my garmin, the heat and the same congestion and lack of shade and loud music at the finish area. This one had me crying in a number of occasions. However it was a day I will not forget!

Congrats Robbie! Big effort!! running that far when you’re not 100% is no small feat!! 🎉

I did follow you and stew, I was in Tesco showing people. You both did very well❤

You’re a warrior, well done 👏

Top man! Well done, hot wasn’t it? I was a sweaty mess. Loved the video. Congratulations crossing that line. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When you started crying😢 oh shit that hit me in the feels 😂😂

Hey Robbie you are honestly such an inspiring and adventurous man you have helped me to get out there and enjoy life keep it up! 👊🏻

I'm running a half marathon in September and my main fear is heat exhaustion. Well done for battling on!

Congrats on finishing the race! My wife and I always flew 14 hours from the states and did not have a great day either. Unfortunately it looks like we got very unlucky with the weather.. was expecting 4-6c but we got 21c -- it was just too hot to do anything out there. As you mentioned in the video, the race felt like they accepted way more runners than they should have. It should have been capped and registration closed, but it was way too many people. The start area with all the large trucks made no sense, and they needed to at least double the amount of bathrooms in the starting line. The bathrooms at some of the aid station only had 1 toilet as well. We had planned to follow a pacer, but with the congestion in the start line and on the course, it was too difficult to even get to them. Overall it was still a fun experience, but not a race we'll be coming back to.

Congratulations Robbie. Glad the heat exhaustion didn't become more serious.

You’re a legend Robbie. We all love ya mate x

Mate, well done. Unbelievable effort. I am even more impressed given my hair is a similar length and you did 26 miles without a hairband and/or tying it up. Kills me doing exercise without them for even 5 minutes never mind 5 hours. Chapeaux.

Love this! Any plans on another Autumn one? Do you still wanna beat that PB of yours?!

Amazing Robbie, huge congrats

What an absolute legend as always! Incredible inspiration. I completed my first ever marathon last year and seeing Robbie smash yet another marathon is inspiring me to do another

You are clearly an inspiration to your children!

Great video! Spotted myself in the background 🙌🏻 at the start by the toilets small space to warm up in 😂 I was exactly the same had a virus I know since coming back and Garmin telling me not to run on the day! But as it was my first marathon and being in Italy I had to..the heat was unbelievable at times and I struggled massively with it! So well done you on what was a really tough Marathon 👍🏻

You did amazing Robbie! Currently training for my first half marathon and this was refreshing to see someone so honest about the highs and lows of it x

Incredible video! Thanks for this and well done

Sad Robbie made me sad 😢

love you Robbie ❤ your a beast pushing through and well done completing another marathon 🏅

You’re amazing Robbie! Glad you’re ok and sensible advice 😊 thanks for sharing x

Nice one Robbie for still getting through it, you're an inspiration! I unfortunately had to leave the patreon last month as the "cossie livs" has taken a toll on my spending, but loving the content here still! Keep up the great work!!

What an inspiration you are robbie

Robbie, you absolute legend! Fair play for finishing, you are a machine 👍🙌🦵🏼

Glad you didn’t die Robbie, congratulations!

Well now I just feel bad for watching this whilst eating my dinner 😂 Well done Robbie, bloody impressive that you got through that race!

Really enjoyed the honesty and realism of this! I really want to do the rome marathon next year with having done 3 half marathons now. Is the course fun or would you recommend something else!

Well done Robbie you smashed it! 👏🏻 time for some beer and sausage rolls now 🎉

Thank you for your videos Robbie - really looking forward to seeing you this year in Edn, i was so regretful i missed the round sheep tour and was over the moon to see a second tour.

absolutely brilliant Robbie, should be so proud mate!

I was also in Rome - The heat was brutal. For you to get through that race in what is still a very good time, in those sorts of conditions, all the more credit to you. 100% in agreement on facilities as well - I travelled with a group of people, and the toilet situations was a nightmare, especially for the ladies (Some were told to simply do their business in a bush - Not ok!). Keep up the awesome work.

Well done Robbie - you finished despite your sickness. That’s a massive achievement under the circumstances

R Man you are a legend. Top effort.

Looking forward to you taking all about it on the HAPPYHour!

You’re so cool Robbie

You're great Robbie.

Well done Robbie, smashed it mate

Well done Robbie lad ,proud of ya mate

Big effort Robbie- well done!

cracking effort!

Congratulations on this achievement. A proper rollercoaster of emotions this one 😅

Takes strength that!! Well done 👍

Well done Robbie!

Impressive! Well done, Robbie!!

What an effort! Great video as always Mr Knox

Hi Robbie, I also ran the marathon in Rome, in fact it was my first marathon ever and like you I also got heat exhaustion (at least that was my self diagnosis post race with the assistance of google). Luckily i did not push myself and walked quite a bit. But I can relate to your experience.

I love your running videos. Well done for getting through it Robbie. Scary stuff!!

Fantastic effort knoxyyyyyyy laaarrrrr

Wow seriously great effort Robbie 💪
