They will laugh at you - Wasted Time by Unger Motivation

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- The beginning story behind Greg Unger's running, Ironman Triathlon and Ultrarunning events. 240+ Marathons, Ultramarathons and Ironman Triathlons in the last 4 years and still going. Motivation to keep going no matter what the odds.
They laughed at me when I said I wanted to start running at 315lbs.
They laughed when I said I would drop the weight to do it.
They told me after the cancer, the arthritis and after tearing my ankle tendon completely off the bone, I would never run distances over 5 miles.
They laughed when I said how inspired I was by running.
They laughed when I said I would do a marathon just to try and feel better.
They laughed at me. They will laugh at you. Let them laugh.
315lbs to 195lbs in 6 months to do my first marathon in 2011.
4 Ironmans including St. George and Hawaii Ironman World Championships in 2011
123 Mile Run - New Years Eve 2014
At 6'4" 240lbs, 1st place male 50 mile ultramarathon 2015
The warm up is over.
Only those who risk going too far, can ever possibly know how far one can go.

Help me translate this video.
Soundtrack: www.themotivationchannel.com is what I used every single day. The mind is a piano, it must be tuned each and every day.
how many times i watch that video i just can't skip it...this guy is my life HERO,i fucked up my life many times but i never give up,even when health let me down..i don't give up...i never had en example ...this guy is!!!so thank You ...keep going!!!!
BART VANHOVE the best motivation is not of others but ones self. Self motivation trumps all and with that you are unstoppable you will fall but you will get back up.
peace love and live life 🙋
The hardest thing is to take the first step in the face of fear and pain. When you do THAT, you realize: I can take one more step....then another.
I owe so much to Unger. Pass it on
"the man who gives more when It Hurts gets more when its over". so powerful.
The day of Judgement supports this
i also had 96kg with 166 cm, my back was in pain when i tried to walk some miles, i quit sugar, meat, and useless food and now im 57 kg, running 18-20 km every day, almost cried with this video, thanks
ty for sharing your story. This helps me to get over hard times.
I come here every once in a while and this video stops me from ending it all.
Keep Going
Do not quit, YOU CAN DO IT!
You got this bro. Stay in the fight! Don't leave us hanging!!
5 mos. post knee surgery, lethargic, and frustrated. Looking for motivation, I stumble upon this video. I have watched it at least 5 times a day this week and have run/walked everyday. I pray this spark turns into a flame. Thank you!
"Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire." - Arnold Glasgow. The light that shines in me, honors the light that shines in you. Keep going brother!
UngerMotivation Didn't Abraham Lincoln say that?
Well done sir, Well done.....
7000 views? ... this should have 70 million views. I will have watched it 7000 times myself before I die! Mr. Unger I am the guy whose wife recently died from brain cancer and I sent you an e-mail. I am trying real hard to go on living in spite of overwhelming grief. I joined a gym and have trained 13 of the last 14 days. I will go again this evening. I simply will not stop living even though I can barely make it now. I refuse to quit on my dreams. Thank you again for your help.
M.A.
More than a machine, an animal. Amazing story. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my, this was the BEST motivational video on the tube... I hope this comes back...
A man is a man, not because he says but because he does. A lot of men nowadays are nothing more than just titles, just names to call sacks of skin and bones. Majority lack heart, lack motivation, lack the drive and definitely lack the deeds and actions to have the title of a "man".
This video and his example are the embodiment of what a man should be. Thank you for sharing it and I am cheering for you with all of my heart and soul. God bless you, brother.
You're such an inspiration. I've watched this video so many times. Fuel for the fire. Thanks again.
I have absolutely zero interest in all the Hollywood recycled superhero marvel comic movies that they just keep pumping out. I don't understand society's need for it. This guy is a superhero and he's a real human being with real superhuman abilities that he worked superhumanly to achieve. That's real motivation for me. Real inspiration. I am totally humbled watching this video.
I think I watch this video at least once a week! And share it every time I can!
god bless you sir!!!!! you are my hero!!! salute from Greece!!!!!!!!
amazing story. my dad has cancer and gets up every day to clean carpets. you have to keep going no matter what life puts in your path. the worst thing you can do is to stop trying and believing.this video is so impressive and hopefully will inspire people in similar positions.
Leonard Kent sorry to hear that man I really hope your dad pulls through ✊
This is exactly what I needed to watch right in this moment. Thank you
It's been many years since anyone had proved to be motivating enough for me to listen to them and push myself harder, further and higher. I had all the motivation I needed once but leaving the British Army took all that away. Now, many years later, I watch a five minute clip on RUclips while I'm pondering on life and then I realise that it isn't them, it's me that's wrong and now that I know that I can do great things again. Thank you for the kick up the backside that I needed. Good luck and may God bless you and yours.
YES! The quality of life always seems to follow the same recipe for all of us. It's 80% your psychology and 20% the mechanics. Sometimes we just need "something" to help our psychology get over the hump. Sometimes all we need is to find Purpose again. Your comment is received and appreciated my friend.
Yep, i keep coming back to this video. When things get difficult I come back to it. It's food for the soul. I just don't give a fuck, i'm not quitting no matter what. "You have to die to leave here" -. One day that will happen, but not today... today I am fighting and if I wake up tomorrow I will fight again.
This video is simply a life lesson masterpiece
On March 1, 2017, I hit the scale at 6'4 330 lbs. I have a shredded left knee that needs repair, a bad right shoulder that I tore years ago and never had fixed, missing two disc in my lower back from one surgery and a 14" scar down the center of my chest as a result of open heart surgery 2 years ago. I turn 50 in June and could make excuses all day and I did for so long but I ran across this video and said enough was enough. If you can do it why not me? I was exactly where you were years ago but I made a commitment to get up and move, get away from my sedentary lifestyle and get my life back. I set a goal to drop 50 lbs. by my birthday with more to follow in the months after and started in on my biggest journey in a very long time. Motivated and totally focused, I've dropped 30 lbs. in the first 7 weeks and I'm on my way back to where I want and need to be. I won't quit, I won't stop, I won't back down and I won't take no for an answer.
sniksapap1 great job dude!!! Keep me updated on your progress!!!
AMAZING! Never underestimate the power of the human spirit once it finds the proper motivation.
Future is ours - never give up ! Greetings from Poland
Thank you for the motivationa. Merry Christmas and warm greetings from Ukraine ❄️💙🙏
Who can possible dislike this video?
Great motivation video, always listen when I run.
Thank you.
Thank you brother
While the achievers are out there clocking miles, the keyboard experts are on youtube critiquing their accomplishments. 4 people who believed that running 100 miles was something to dislike... Go figure.
Max Thanks brother.
lord vass only the negative people will dislike it rather then listen and let it help them selfs
As soon as I graduate high school, I will do what I love. As soon as I graduate college. As soon as I land a job. As soon as I marry. As soon as my kids are grown. As soon as I retire. As soon as I die.
Real shit
Perfectly said ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for the time and effort you have put into these videos. 3 yrs ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic Prostate cancer. My PSA was 599.( GO GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER. I was told). I REFUSED TO GIVE IN, TO GIVE UP, TO BE COUNTED OUT. TO LIVE A DEFEATED LIFE. I HAD DECIDED TO NEVER GIVE UP HOPE. There are 3 things that have to be in your mindset to have HOPE. 1. It has to be GOOD 2. It has to be FUTURE and 3. It has to be POSSIBLE . I find all these things in my relationship with the Lord. I have had a Ministry far greater than I could have imagined by having cancer . I LIVE to Encourage OTHERS!!!!!. THANKS FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE THRU UNGER MOTIVATION. I have shared your story with so many. Marcus
This made me walk home from work 4 miles...Im hooked

Tears right now!! Your vid has motivated me more than you'll know, and I sincerely appreciate your sharing it!! I realized that I'd stopped running after my Momma died in 2015 - I still train in the Martial Arts, and other things for fitness, but I miss my run early in the AM - just me. I've come out of - maybe grieving with a bit of depression, I don't really know, but I'm getting back at it!! Thank you again for the motivation!! Best!!

This January I started my battle of losing weight, getting in better shape both physically and mentally. Your video was a great source of inspiration. Today i had a really bad day at walking, something was wrong... i was about to call it a day and go home. But I've started to listen to your video and it made me walk for one more hour, it was like I found another gear. Thanks for this video, i can really say it made my day. Lots of love from Romania!
Very appreciated brother. Stay with it.
keep on keeping on you Can do it.

thank you so very much....this video brought a tear down my eye !! because I almost lost faith in myself because the how never showed up !! but this video gave me hope, it brought back the light I was about to lose !! thank you very much !
I'm floored when i see great videos like these and see thumbs down..it just shows you how much hatred there is in this world...guess this is why he had to overcome laughs and rejection..i guess i answered my own question
you overcame your sickness and depression and many things else that you were struggling with, I'm really proud of you. your video inspired and motivated me.
wish you long and healthy life dude 💪😍
You sir are a total beast! Kudos and my hat off to you.
when you really look at your life how long have you been parked. that line was deep made me want to go outside and just start running. I love when a new comment pops up it brings me back and I get slapped with that reality. the how will come the way will come but commitment last a lifetime.
thanks for this video hits me every time I watch it. 👏
one awsome person you are!!!!!
hats off to you!!
This is a gem...thank you
Thank you for this video and thanks for being you ✊

The heat here in Phoenix is obscene. Congrats on your hard work!
God bless you, amazing. You're truly an inspiration to me.
What an inspiration!
Thanks for your video, I really needed to watch this.
this video just pumped me up! I like how he kept ascending to another level. From marathons to ironmans to ultra ironmans. I'm trying to get to the next level.
I needed this video.
Beautiful.
Amazing man, amazing Unger, I mean you did what most people can't do, going over setbacks, impediments ! I am a runner myself and when I put on weight it's really hard ! But I am going to tell you something seeing you going that far make me understand that I really need to higher the bar, to push through. I have always wanted to do a marathon but even if I am a decent runner I have always been afraid to do it in more than 3h, I mean afraid about what people would say, so I stopped there, like a loser doing small time races to hide. But you made your point iin this video, the journey is between you and your faith nobody else. You need to give it your all. Therefore once again a big round of applause. keep hustling, keep pushing. Huge support from Paris, France.
Thank you brother. Keep going.
this is so moving. I want to go running right now... I did Bataan death march in New Mexico once and thought I was cool.. lol. but this guy. wow.! I would live to train with someone like him. so unreal , god bless you
You are the best of best....
thank you I truly need to see this today!
Wow, that is stunning... well done sir on a fantastic video and story... it is an epic and wonderful tale of overcoming what everyone else sees as being "impossible". You are a true inspiration, you take inspiration from the best (per the soundtrack) but you give more than he could ever... be proud, keep going and well done on your journey.... you are an exceptional person... run on my man!!
Swiss Daz thank you!

INCREDIBLE!!!!
Brilliant!
You're an inspiration, thank you for making this video.
awesome!!!!!!!!!
Coming up on the last week of the semester for me. I'm taking two classes at the same time that are both individually harder than the hardest class I've ever taken (almost 70 credits under my belt) in addition to taking a math course online (my weakest subject). Starting Monday I'll have 6 exams in 8 days. I'm so burned out and mentally exhausted from the effort of trying to do my best in these classes. However, I must press on "because the man who gives more when it hurts, get's more when it's over".
When I finish, I will walk away having exhausted every ounce of determination and will power within myself knowing I have no decision to regret.
Hey bro.... THANKS FOR THAT VIDEO! THANK U SOOOO MUCH!
DEAR SIR, YOU AREA MOTIVATION FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.......................
Appreciated brother
Thanks man, needed inspiration after my race today.
This is fantastic
Where are you brother ?
This still inspires me all these years later
Good stuff !
Thanks
Amazing same thing I was watching our old Indian teachers preached. Thanks
thank you x
good video, inspirational, one of the keys for people to achieve their goals don't get overwhelmed with how far you have to go instead just focus on improving/learning a little each day and if you have injuries, bad luck or anything else that makes you miss days/goals don't dwell on this like you failed, it might slow your progress but you can only fail if you give up, commit to succeeding no matter how hard or long it takes and you will
Awesome!
Awesome!!
thank you for this video. it's inspiring in so many ways !
There is danger in the word someday. Someday I will change my life. Someday I will lose weight. Someday I will follow my dreams Someday Someday. Well that day as to be today. . Thanks for the video amazing journey.

Stay focused on your purpose; your reason why. And above all else, have faith. Everything will work out and it will be the time of your life!
