- My whole life I never realised what marathons were all about. and then I experienced one. This is a story about human energy. Shot at this years 2023 London Marathon.
Thanks to everyone we met, runners and supporters. If you spot someone you know, please share with them as we didn't get their details!

This is incredible
Many thanks, Phily, for pointing me in the direction of this video! It's excellent
Thanks for linking this, Phily! A well deserved shout out :)
Thank you for recommending. Such an awesome video!
Crikey, Phily. I wasn't ready for that. Had me crying like a big baby. (Thanks though!) 😂
People are.
Not everyone hasa crew. Many travel alone, run alone, finish alone, do it for their own reasons. And they are surrounded by the support of strangers, which is amazing. But marathons are definitely about running, and not just running that day - but the months of gruelling training and mental perseverance in all weathers that leads up to that day.
This made me teary. So emotive and well shot. I was there at the marathon and felt it all. ENERGY
Thank you Kathryn ❤ ENERGY!!! Haha, yessss i'm glad you experienced it
Found you on TikTok, incredible storytelling
Thank you man, that means a lot
How does this video not get a million views?!?! Amazing storytelling and cinematography!
This video is awesome
😭
Can see the Casey Neistat influence is these but of course adding your own style and making them yours. Editing and pace is great! Came across this on tik tok and was expecting this account to have a huge following on CZcams. Genuinely shocked you dont have more views and subs with the quality of your vids.
Keep up the fantastic work good sir, youre definitely on the way up. Its a like and subscribe from me anyway 👍
Came here from Sam Dawson's video truly inspiring work mate keep creating from the heart man. Well deserved sub 🤜🤛
Finished my first marathon last year, and you truly captured the feeling of the whole experience. On that day there is something in the air, something that inspires you and pushes you beyond your limits. And I think you got it right. It’s the human energy! The love and support of our fellow human beings.
I ran the London marathon this year and if it wasn’t for the amazing crowds I wouldn’t have crossed the line. This video captures the human spirit and restores my faith in humanity. Congrats to everyone who completed the marathon and massive Thank you to all the supporters and amazing volunteers.❤ Great video Ali.
This felt so refreshing. Lately the genuine and beautiful art of storytelling has been making it's way back to CZcams through creators like yourself, and it's just super inspirational to witness :)
Great video and so true, I run for my late younger sister, she left us 3 years ago and I can truly say that running marathons saved my mental and physical health. What you forgot to mention though is the hundreds if not thousands of miles we put into training... the marathons are the reward or party to a much longer process. Awesome video!
The editing. The storytelling. The infectious energy. How do you not have more followers? This is golden. That you for sharing.
Wow! Just ran my first marathon last year. This video comes close to the whole experience! To be cheered on and to cheer on those next to you and behind you.
I ran it this year for the first time and this video summed it up perfectly. The crowd was incredible, everyone who came out to support deserves a medal as well.
I was running in Tel Aviv yesterday… and, yes, you’re right for 100%! It’s about running and it’s not about running at the same time! Great video!
I used to live about a mile away from the start of the London Marathon. Always saw the day as an annoyance, roads closed etc. My wife would drag me out to cheer everyone every year and I'd always come away inspired and glad I went to watch. I eventually got in to the London Marathon on the ballot a few years ago and it changed my life. Great video. I never hit the like button but I did on this one. Thanks for this.
What’s the background track at 2:16?

It was my first ever marathon in memory of my sister and you were so right and it all! The crew, the occassion and the suppoet from so many others! There is nothing like it ❤
Just found this. It is so damn good. Sending to all my running friends now..
This should be a promo video for the marathon.
Absolutely incredible stuff!
Superb video! I’ll go cheer for complete strangers on Sunday, at the Vancouver marathon.
Whoooooooooop!!!!!!!
As a runner, I gotta say that you fans who come out to cheer are the best. Definitely get us through the tough miles.
This video is amazing! You really capture the energy of a marathon!!! I am planning to do one in a few years and I can't wait for the emotions and energy of everyone watching and running.
I'm not crying. you're crying! this video is a masterpiece. cant wait to see what you have up your sleeve in 2024 - cheers!
Yes, everyone is running for something or someone else. I ran the 2023 NYC marathon for my dear aunt, who signed me in to my first 10K and who is currently battling cancer, stage IV. I ran that marathon with her name on my chest and total strangers where yelling her name and cheering on her for hours. Those people carried me all the way to the finish line, and I got to engrave the medal with her name and gift it to her this last week, when I visited her, after showing her a video with all those people yelling "you got this!! let's go!!". I've become addicted to marathons after this experience and I'm going to keep running them in her honor.
Just found this video from Bromka. This is incredible 🙌🏾
Bingo! You've summed it up so well. Thank you for making this video - I've just relived Sunday's emotions all over again and I never want to lose that feeling.
Beautiful, the human experience. Would love to run a marathon someday & feel that energy :)
why am I crying, this is so good
Awesome video in so many ways, you have some solid knowledge of vlogging and editing. Not quite sure why this video didn't get more views
You made made me feel all emotional watching this. I really wasn’t expecting that. Fantastic story telling, camera work, pacing, sound and energy.
I feel like I need to challenge myself to run a marathon after watching this.
This was an incredible video. loved it so much. the human energy is insane. I am going to run my first marathon in two weeks in my hometown and i am very excited. Thanks for capturing and sharing these wonderful moments.
This is such GOOD storytelling. Well done man!
Your content just started popping up on my feed. Hopefully, the CZcams algorithm is picking up your "non-niche" 😉 content and showing it to the world!
The messaging is fantastic. Looking forward to more, Ali.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! BBEEAAAUUUTTTIIIFFFUULLLL ❤.THIS IS ART.
A true creative, keep shining you galaxy
Discovered you through Sam Dawson! I am so glad he made a video about you, because you are a pure gem. If you could sit down with him to talk about your process, I think I would watch that video a 1000 times and force all of my friends and family to watch it (like I am going with this video right now...)
Yes Ali! Nailed it 🤟🏼
Beautiful film, one of my favorites of yours and that's saying a lot🙂
I have a 20+k video. I got a feature on my cellphone early and posted a review. Took me literally an hour to shoot and edit. This deserves more. Much more. Keep going. CZcams is a marathon, not a sprint.
I was lucky enough to run the London Marathon for the first time this year and this video captures it perfectly. The atmosphere is electric and I felt overwhelmed with emotion that all of those strangers stood in the rain to support for hours. What a privilege. Fantastic video 🙃
I am running the London marathon today, just watched this….brilliant let’s go
Never stop making videos, you are a gem on youtube. This channel will blow up sooner or later.
Amazing. Thank you!
What a beautiful movie! This is legit giving me chills...
Damn Ali. This is amazing!
You really are my favorite CZcamsr right now. Thanks for giving me something to strive to be like in my videos. All the love man.
I was not expecting to get emotional on a video about running. That was beautiful. Thank you for this!!!❤
This movie is so emotional and inspiring thank U Ali for sharing a beautiful part of your memory .
Came across you on TikTok your style of film making is incredibly captivating instant subscribe
Incredible 😮 you managed to tell me a story about marathon that really makes me like marathons for the first time. You shifted the way I think about it. British Casey vibes too 😂
Run for personal challenge, time challenge, a charity to heart and love of life

❤ I ran this year's London Marathon and you've encapsulated the whole feel of the event so beautifully. This made me cry. Thank you ❤
I come across one of your videos the other day and was so impressed. And over this past week I've ended up watching them all. Love the channel.
This got me teared up mate. Incredible pacing and story telling. You're an inspiration mate!
Well done 👏 everyone
Absolutely Incredible ❤
Amazing! amazing!
I visited London a couple weeks ago, and said to my partner, "gosh I wish there was someone here, documenting this city in the way Casey did in NY." And boy am I glad to have found you. How exciting.
The most spectacular race on the planet. And you captured it beautifully!
Well that’s started my Friday morning with a tear or two!! Well do Ali - captured perfectly x
Brilliant! Carl Jung, "When we know the why we can begin the how." This made me cry. I am doing my first Marathon, BMW Dallas Sunday 12-10-23. I was doing it for the challenge, now i'm doing it for my friend Edward who passed 3 years ago. Thank you so much. I cannot tell you how much your video had a positive effect on me. Cheers.
That's amazing Matt, good luck with the Marathon. I'm sure you will do Edward proud.
My fifth viewing. This one really hits home
This is a great video. I ran my first marathon at London this year. The crowd was insane!
I’ve watched this so many times
This is absolutely amazing. The perfect way to sum it up
I cannot express how much this resonates with me and how I felt taking part in the marathon. Unreal talent from Ali
I love everything about this video!!!
Wow, man, just came here from @SamDawson's video. I have not watched his breakdown yet because I wanted to see the full film with fresh eyes first, and I just wanted to tell you it gave me goosebumps, and I actually started tearing up at one point. Your energy and your emotions are infectious. Keep it up.
I'm looking forward to watching more of what you do.
Encapsulated perfectly
