5:11 Unbelievable running gear!
He is a legend❤
I've never found anyone making better race event footage than kofuzi - just amazing work!
Totally agree to this!
For the last week that I have had to run on treadmill, I've watched this video for my last couple of miles. Workout always ends up a mini progression run! Awesome, Kofuzi!!!
RETWEET top-tier footage
Maybe it's just me but anytime I watch a marathon video I try to imagine what each participants life story is, why they got into running and what made them want to run a marathon. Absolutely fascinating to see so many people battling themselves and kicking ass!
Yeah, just you
@@theanomaly3038No! me too 😂
Watching people run marathons always makes me emotional lol
I wanna do marathon but my reason is that, what if I don't train for marathon and just sign up for a marathon and just run it.
Running heals you. Keeps you away from depression, over thinking. It is sort of meditation. It makes me self dicipline
Running that fast and still catching quality footage. That is awesome. Kofuzi doesn’t disappoint.
This is so great. In the past you expressed doubt about your ability during the race and this one you knew you had the grit and training to do it. I am so glad you shared this with us, congrats again
Awesome job!!! 💯💯💯😀
9:33 “This is what we came to do, let’s do it” Thanks for the inspiration KO.
Props for a 2:56! New PR right? And with all the footage, even more props. I'm hanging right under the 3hr mark so your runs are real inspiration for me.
This is incredibly impressive and inspirational. I remember how much and long you struggled to break 3. And now you did it in 2:56 in a Majors marathon half way across the world! Goes to show what hard work, consistency and continuous effort can produce.
😊
This is by far one of the best race videos I've seen. Congrats on the PR! Can't wait to hear you ring the bell during the livestream.
You worked hard, pushed hard, wanted it, and got it done!!! Huge congrats, Mike!!! Loved reliving the race through your vlog. We were blessed to be part of this once in a lifetime experience🇯🇵❤
How great was it to run together in Shinjuku!
Awesome day. Congrats KO!
It was great to be out there with you
I remember bugging you (as many people) about running with a camera… Happy I was wrong and you held your ground! Awesome footage and congrats on the race result. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are inspiring to me. I started running again a couple years ago (after a 15 year hiatus since HS XC). Your drive to push hard and succeed is absolutely amazing to watch. You deserved this PR and I hope you feel as proud as you should. You really gave it your all!
I’m nowhere near your level right now. I’m 34, but you give me hope that maybe, just maybe I could BQ by the time I’m 40 if I keep on giving my everything, every day, despite not having a high level of baseline “talent” (VO2max-wise).
I ran my first marathon at the age of 30. 4 hours 43 minutes
WELL DONE!!!!!!! Dude, I could feel your pain, your energy and your commitment and dedication to your goal!!! WOW, I'm so happy and proud of you. You wanted it so bad and pushed for it all the way to the end!!! Just so awesome! Thanks for taking us along on the run. I know it's hard to film while running fast and you make it look as good!
5:18 yellow crocs/ fliplip !!! Legend!!
Incredible race footage, it must be so difficult to carry the camera for so long. Congrats on an amazing performance, your determination is an inspiration to us all.
Dude, this is amazing! Not only did you run an awesome marathon, but you also recorded a cinematic masterpiece WHILE running it 🔥 Currently training for my first marathon and videos like this keep my motivation up ❤
good luck with your training!
Goosebumps all over. Now I'm extremely psyched for the Mumbai marathon even though there are over 8 months left!
2:56 and a splendid movie. bravo!
What… a…. Legend 💪🙏 what a result!!
Thanks Andy!
The footwear choice of some of these runners is wild! Great video as always Mike, it gets better with each iteration.
Congratulations! That start was insane. Brings back good memories. I did the Tokyo Marathon in 2018. It was epic!
I wonder if they put a bit of time between the starts of gate 1 (Corrals A,B, C) and gate 2 (Corrals D, E, etc)
Non-Elite no more Kofuzi!… you are the real deal, inspiring!… keep going man!… you are changing lifes!
(Jumping up and down in excitement smilie right here)
So amazing! I'm currently training for my first ever half marathon and I'd be happy to run it in the time you have ran a whole marathon. Well done!! I also really like the Asics vest top you're wearing - really cool!
Such a inspirational and sensational running video, congrats Kofuzi, you well deserved it.
Well done and very motivational.... Damn how many vaporfly's are there :)
yes!!! so inspiring! you're a beast for pushing through. many congrats!
Wow that was some congestion at the start! That singlet is 🔥! I was really surprised at the course; had no idea it was so many out and backs. Love how you were crushing it, and yet still cheering others on. Way to go man! Congratulations on the PR!
Thanks Steven!
@@kofuzi Yeah, what's that singlet?

this vlog is so inspiring, thank you and congratulations!
Congrats to you Kofuzi...!!! love the fast course in Tokyo.
I’m waiting for this episode, finally here! Congratulations ! Awesome awesome race!❤❤❤🍾🎉🎈🎊
Solid effort and congratulations for your sub 3 marathon! Your words truely motivate me!
Congrats Mike! Love watching your videos. Provides my motivation for my return to marathon distance running.
Congrats Kofuzi! This brought back so many great memories of my Tokyo marathon. You ran very strong and gave me a lot of good motivation to get healthy again so I can get back to my ❤ of running marathons. 👍🏾
You looked so dialed in and strong the whole race! Congratulations on the well deserved PR.
Amazing video, amazing editing, amazing music. Mind blowing run. From all those “chasing 3” videos from last year which were my first introduction to your channel in dec, to learning about how you had started training seriously only a few years back and were (perhaps well) above 4 hours, to now seeing you simply just DECIDE to run a sub 3 marathon under unfamiliar conditions. Simply mind blowing and inspirational. GOOD JOB man! Proud of you. ❤💯💪
Well done! Thank you for sharing these impressions with us
It's truly inspiring to see your progress over the last few years. Congratulations and great race video as always!
Congrats Michael! You’ve been my main inspiration over the last 5 years or so on my running “journey”. You’re killing it! Congrats dude. All the hard work has paid off
I will be running my first marathon in Rome in a few days and I'm aiming at 3h, I'm starting from the back of the pack and inevitably I'm going to run without the aid of same pace fellow runners and or Pacers. I sense it will be hard, this video gave me goose bumps and makes me looking forward to my first journey in the marathon world. Great effort and awesome vid, congrats!
good luck in Rome!
Great work! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
So inspirational! Keep up with the great race footage man, want to see more coming
Truly an inspiration Kofuzi. Have been consuming your content since I started running and you have truly made the process so enjoyable.
This is sick! Great running shoe footage!
Congratulatons, Mike! Very inspiring as always. Thanks for all your hard work!
Wow!! What an amazing video once again of you triumphing over the pain of a marathon!!!👊 Congrats on another PB!!🎉🎉 It's just great how you let us follow you along on these amazing feats of athleticism!!! Keepu pushing and you will find higher limits!!👏💪👍
Hey Mike, stop being so darn inspirational!!! The GRIT to the finish, the humility, the slow motion capturing all of the other runners emotions as well. Appreciate all that you do. 👊
Your videography skills are off the chart! It was a genuine treat virtually running the 2023 Tokyo Marathon with you! You rocked it!
This was inspirational man, definitely a motivational booster after watching you conquer this marathon.
You killed it!!! Can't wait for more Tokyo videos. Also... awesome singlet!
That was an amazing video Kofuzi, the shots the music the story I vibrated with every second, thanks for sharing this experience with us!!
I love his videos!
I rarely ever comment..but dang you nailed it with this vid. Without a bunch of talking and breakdown( which those vids have their place too) But just in terms of feeling right in the middle of it. The music , edit, quick pace updates, vid length. When I physically feel my body energy recall past race days watching something....👍🏻
Thank you for sharing. Well done!! I can feel you. So inspiring.
this is one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever been able to follow, your performance gets more and more incredible with each video and each race, congratulations Kofuzi!
Congrats Mike. You have being an inspiration since you started your running journey and thank you for bringing us along.
Thanks for coming with me!
Can't explain how incredibly inspiring your race day videos are! I will be running my first ever marathon in Chicago this upcoming October, partly because of videos like this. Congratulations on the 2:56!! Well deserved.
See you in Chicago!
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing your own pep talks and mantras to get you to the finish. Amazing content

An incredible adventure

Huge, huge congrats Ko! I have followed you since your 10 mile Soldier Field run. I am so happy to see how far you have come…both physically as well as mentally. I am most impressed with how much confidence you have gained…it’s so good to see how much you believe in yourself.
That’s a long long time ago
Wow! Amazing job. Thanks for inspiring runners
Omedetou! Congrats Mike! This was great to experience and thanks for sharing it with us. Long time coming and it was so inspiring to watch you PB and do it trusting your training, not backing down and instead pushing when you know you had to.
Отличный и вдохновляюще снятый спектакль на улицах Токио, превосходно подходящая мелодия звуков. Как он умудрился снимать после 35-го километра, когда только желание дотянуть? Мне бы такие Азикс в 1980 году, получилось бы побыстрее, чем 2.19.10. Спасибо, Кофузи, за работу
Looking less and less like that "Non-Elite" runner you once claimed to be! haha 😆 Congrats on the PB!
Congratulations! I just stumbled upon your channel and as an aspiring marathon runner this is super inspirational -- keep it up!
Chills!! Literal chills. Great video. I want to go to Tokyo too for this marathon someday!!! 👏👏👏
My friend Kevin flew all the way from NY to run this race. He ran it in a mega time of 3:03:17. I’m super proud of him! I’ll be checking the video to see if I can spot him!
Completely awesome video ! Amazing look at the whole route and all the gear on other people in the 3hr pace groups and runners ! Congratulations on a great finish ! An amazing video and great footage on other platforms ! Thank you !
Thank you for sharing this. So many landmarks I recognize and I can feel the atmosphere. Well done!!
I could watch this one over and over...congrats man...gives me inspiration!

It’s so great to see Tokyo again through your camera and the marathon experience. Naturally it makes me want very much to do it myself someday! I’m very proud to know you for many reasons 🎉Congratulations on a beautifully executed race and equally excellent video!
Congratulations Ko, amazing run!! So happy for you !!!
Incredible and impressive! Congrats on the achievement, and thank you for documenting your race. I ran this race too, but could never describe the experience quite like what you have captured here. Amazing work!
Kofuzi! You are an inspiration! Great footage, congrats on the sub 3!!! Looking forward to the breakdown when you get home. Nice race kit!

Great video, congrats!! The music, great video and commentary really created some tension as we went along, I actually stood up and started pacing around the halfway point lol. Awesome
Wooooo!!!! Congratulations. You are definitely fueling the stoke to return to the marathon (3 majors down 3 to go).
