Someone get Tom Hanks to meet this man!
“That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run.”
“So I ran to the end of the road, then I thought: maybe I should just run to the end of town.”
“And when I got there I thought maybe I should just run across Greenbow county. And when I got there, I thought maybe I should just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s why I did, I ran clear across Alabama.”
“For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean.”
“When I got there, I thought maybe since I’ve come this far, I might as well turn back and keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I thought: I might as well turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go... you know, I went.
“And so, you just ran.”
“Yeah.”
yes
Yes Sir
he's agreed to join my running club in Liverpool once he returns from America
Scouse Legend
THATSMYNAME ini ahaha
did he?
This guy is more American than 97.4% of American citizens
0:38 'Let's make it a slightly more exclusive club...' And, just like the London Marathon's 'Ever-Presents', it's also a club which is highly likely to only get smaller!
It was so nice to hear you speaking at the 2019 London Marathon expo last week. A awesome story teller. Thank you so much.
When You run, You are free, no matter what, You are free!!!!!!
He did all this just because he felt like running
So cool so me and my friend was going to guntersville Alabama to get feed one Friday morning we see this guy running towards us I said it Forrest Gump and got a kick out of it then come to find out he was running right by where we lived and stayed with a guy we know so when we got back we seen him at the store got pictures with him very nice guy! Glad we went that way that day
April 14th, 2022... Still dreaming about it too. What an amazing story.
I would like to do this as well one day (which means I probably will never get around to it) but I'm wondering how much mass I would lose.
I'm a "beefier" runner as I do lift weights on the regular.
I imagine I'll be a string bean by the time all is said and done. 😅
Just live on mass gainers and vitamin pills every day lol
I've been lifting weights so long that I gained too much mass to run anymore. When I couldn't military press 50-pound dumbbells more than once I could run 3 miles in 27 mins, easy. Now I can mil-press 50-pound dumbbells 20 times, easy, but I can barely run one mile in 10 mins.
3 years later. Have you done it yet?
Real life Forrest Gump with British accent cool😎👍
That is truly awesome
Me who strugles standing up for 10 seconds
but did he have sweatcoin to get a genuine leather bag tho
Awesome 👏
Frig is this ever wholesome
what the
i Bunn no me traen a las nenas con el asunto de la otra persona
Run forest run :(
That's me
Yep that sure is me :)
This guy has had to run enough by now to have run all around the world right?
I got his record bet I have 1,500,000 miles running back and forth between the kitchen and the living room. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
He does look like me but my hair is gray now and he needs speech lessons cause he talks funny.
Nah he’s fine we don’t care about his voice just what he has accomplished.
He actually was born in my state and city and came to my school
What do you mean state he's British
Hes from Liverpool U.K
Did he recreate the cursing that was in the book? LOL!
Probably fifty fold. Best to ask his girlfriend, though.
Shit happens
I should try to run Manila-Sorsogon.What an inspiration,thanks!

Me voy a la felicidad de mi persona o como ves papirrin sí o no díganme si me lo puedes hacer el amor es como una mujer muy hermosa
Me gusta mucho la bella música y la casa de tu teléfono para poder ver sus fotos videos gratis de mi vida nos pone a su disposición para lo cual hacer el amor
Good luck pare
Awesome.
His idea stolen from Forrest Gump movie 🙄
Yeah, that was the whole point. 🙄
He is Not Forrest Gump Forrest Gump Is Justa Movie
Actually it was a book.
Obviously he's not Forrest Gump, but calling him "Forrest Gump" in comparison to his feats is a way of description.
It's an easier way for him to be known. More people will know of his journey versus calling him a "distance runner". Add in the fact that he was motivated by the movie and did a very similar route to accomplish his goal makes this an acceptable comparison.
In other words, take it easy.
Edit: just found out you're a young man with a badly tuned guitar.
You get a pass.
Have a nice day. 🙂
Guinness book of world records is a joke lol
Have this dude the fastest marathon time ran in a character costume but wouldn’t give my dog a record for the longest sit pretty because in their words “there’s no way to prove that I’m forcing her to do that”....uh to sit like a meerkat I’m pretty sure you could tell if I was forcing her or not lol
Whack ass place took my five bux and won’t give it back lol that’s how they are still even around is they take everyone’s money. Ppl with actual categories that others will want to try and break.
Not some one of a kind never to be done again type stuff smh
What a waste of time
Nah.
Enjoying your life, seeing the country, and raising money for charity is the opposite of a "waste of time".
Running is better than commenting "waste of time" on some RUclips video
