I love that RUclips keeps finding the Barkley marathon gems and delivering them to us with the algorithm we deserve. Congrats karel, you're a legend.
It's cause Barkley is running right now!
This was def a planned move so the algorithm works in favor!🤓timing timing my guys
Babe, wake up. A new Barkley doc just dropped.
A few years ago I randomly stumbled across a documentary about the Barkley Marathons, this documentary inspired me to start running myself. This year I'm hoping to complete my first Ultra. It has been an incredibly journey and all of this thanks to great people like Karel who post their adventures online to inspire others.
Watching Berkley marathons docs got me back into running also! Good luck with the ultra!
Good luck with the ultra mate
@@whatisamodel8252 thanks, I really enjoy the training and look forward standing at the starting line. Do you have any specific goals?
@@doncarlospipely8852 thanks a lot. I'll be sure to enjoy the experience!
That's amazing!
Honestly the most phenomenal accomplishment of mind over body I've ever witnessed - eating peaches with tuna 32:35
Lol! 😂
Belgian specialty 😂
I thought the same thing 🤯
@@janinefellner2711 It's a delicious Belgian traditional dish (even better with a side of fries!). You take canned peaches (those in syrup), and you top the peach halves with canned tuna mixed with mayo (the Belgian kind, the recipe is defined by law), a tiny bit of ketchup and salt and pepper. As a vegetarian of nearly 10 years, it's the only dish I still miss haha. It's so good!
Literally a couple of days ago I actually saw a video from Beryl Shewheawehas (the cooking channel) and someone recommended that dish!
Incredible! Really can't imagine a more dramatic ending, what an unreal performance and an amazing film.
So interesting that in Joe's 2023 Barkley documentary, he had talked about how he wasn't feeling like Karel & Jared had any interest in running with him for loop 3 and beyond, so he goes to sleep - meanwhile here in this documentary, you can see Karel literally yelling for Joe at the gate to try to get the crew back together. Goes to show how perception can be so different between runners.
The calm thoroughness of Joren is impressive, especially during the interloopals. The way he makes sure you have everything you need in an extremely efficient manner speaks to how long you guys have been doing this together. Well done to both of you.
I like that the film shows Joe's role and how incredibly important he is. He's such an amazing guy!
Went to the premiere in the cinema with a speech from the man himself. Great evening!
I wish people would stop listening to celebrity and influencer snake-oil sales people, and start getting motivation and insight from people like this.
1000% this comment!
Well said!
It's remarkable that Karle was sick right before the race yet finished anyway. What an athlete! Hope he does it again sometime when fully healthy.
Liked before even watching it
Same!
Karel: "I think i lost all my toenails."
Joren: "It doesn't matter if you finish."
What an incredibly caring and motivating friend you have! The film really shows the importance of a good support ( team) . Can't say too many good things about him. Much love to both of you. Congrats on making it into the history books of Barkley and achieving your goal!
Greetings from Germany.
The camera work on the last 10 minutes was so fitting. It gives a glimpse of what he must have felt.
Yes!
That was really special.
The running community is so awesome. I have a playlist of videos to make me feel better when I’m feeling sad or unmotivated, and this video is definitely being added
I hiked five miles to the fire tower and back yesterday and thought I was something! But I am not a runner and I have great respect for all of you! Just being there and trying is a huge deal. You all are winners in my book!
I feel same way. I love Frozen head for short hikes but this is amazing to watch all these documentaries.
The most flemish part about running the Barkley is going "oh yes, peche tonijn!" at 7 AM after completing 2 loops! You're a legend Karel! I followed along during your performance and was super excited to hear your story first hand at the Nerdland Festival last year!
Seeing you finish it once again in this film was an emotional rollercoaster all over.
Not just flemish, truly Belgian 😜 Love a good pêche au thon!
That little moment between you two at 49:35 hit me in the feels. It’s like that first realization that it’s going to happen, and you’re both so locked in as a team, but still really caring for each other. Beautiful stuff!
Karel, absolute legend. Had to hold my tears in the end. Also Joe, what a guy!
This is just Legendary..
I'm going to run my first 100k this May and Dokus like this, People like you Karel are motivating me beyond words. I was pretty scared at first but now I know that if i stay focused and keep on pushing it is possible and i will think on those words "If I'm going to finish it, it's not at all coming for free"
Legend!
You know you are in too deep, when RUclips shows you a doku just hours after upload. Good job, man! Congrats!
How did I not see this before? I’m a Barkley aficionado. His race last year was an inspiration.
I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes watching your adventure, Karel! WELL DONE! Your discipline and consequence pushing for that one big goal of yours is so so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us. AMAZING!
Oh God.. just finished my long run and resting while watching this... u have made a 44 year old man in tears...
Congratulations Karel... it was a beautiful journey n thank u for sharing and inspiring us all... big love from Indonesia..
Karel, you among others like Gary Robbins, Courtney Dauwalter, Eliud Kipchoge, and Jeff Pelletier are such a great inspiration for myself to continue, enjoy and improve myself in this sport. I might not be(come) an ultra runner, but thanks to people like you I developed a great love and passion for running. Bedankt!
Great documentary. I find the Barkley Marathons series so intriguing. Great job.
Very impressive performance. I helped a friend train for the Barkley. I would not wish that obsession on anyone. Way to see it through to the end.
Oh man...that was a rollercoaster. So proud of you Karel! Joren with the elite assist too. Shed a couple of tears at the finish there. No one can take that accomplishment away from you. It's yours forever! King Karel!
on strapping his compass to his arm: "last year i had to take it out 100 times... thats 100 seconds, it can make a difference". Cue Jasmin Paris finishing with 99 seconds to spare
Dayum. Marginal gains
I love this time of year. I know I’ll get at least one good Barkley documentary
Every time it’s amazing! When they both realize they were seeing the same visions , deep in the woods on the last loop, really hit hard.
Congratulations to Karel and Joe. What a run, what a finish. Amazing guys.
Karel Sabbe is my new spirit animal
Waited to watch this live on RUclips tonight - was not disappointed! Only wish it had been 3 hours long!!
So excited for this! I’ve been eagerly checking for updates and now it’s here! 😊
Even knowing how this ended, it was gripping to watch. Incredible work.
Ik heb de film in premiere gezien in de cinema met een uitgebreide uitleg van Karel zelf over zijn avontuur. Een onvergetelijke avond! Ondertussen heb ik de film voor een 2de keer gezien op RUclips! Het is een unieke inkijk over een wedstrijd waar velen al van gehoord hebben maar de juiste details niet kennen! Bedankt Karel! 👍👍👍
Just having a friend like Joren must be amazing. All those challenges over the years and having that constant support all through your lifes achievments must be one hell of a feeling. What a guy!
I love how humble everyone seems
A legend. Looking forward to this story Karel
Watching this before my first backyard ultra, such inspiration!!

Already my favorite documentary for this year! You are an ultra source of inspiration who proves that we are capable of much more than you initially think. This not only translates to running but also to the rest of life. Really amazing. Thanks for making this film Karel + team & family.
Amazing! I’m so happy for Karel.
I'm not crying, you're crying! Such amazing synergy between runner and crew. Congratulations on an incredible accomplishment!!
Amazing. I’ve started running for fitness 9 months after an ACL injury. This movie has inspired me to stop. ❤
knowing when to stop is sometimes better than winning
loved it. man, what a great story, what a great adventure!
Captures the event so brilliantly. Well done and thank you for sharing!
You are a true hero Karel!! A great example of how the human body can expend beyond what most think isn't even possible!! You're documentaries are so inspiring to watch, and are one of the reasons i'll keep expending my own (trailrunning) limits!! Thanks for that! ❤
You are a legend! What a great movie with exceptional storytelling.
This is so inspiring. Love the journey and so much respect.
You killed it! Major respect, Sir!!!
What an awesome story, what an inspiration you are, and how amazing to have a friend like Joren!
Wonderful Doc. Inspirational!
Congratulations! What an inspiration to the world of trail running, especially in Belgium.
Such an incredible display of endurance. I have no doubt that 17 will forever be the most beautiful number to you 🖤
Brilliant - excellent story telling!! Congrats on the most incredible achievement
Huge respect becoming a finisher! This is the pinnacle Nothing tougher
You are a HERO & LEGEND!!Unbelievable how you pushed yourself to the limits and beyond. Truly inspiring!!
Van harte gefeliciteerd, ik volg de Barkley al enkele jaren, nooit gedacht dat ik een Belg zou zien finishen, verdomme goed gedaan man!
FANTASTIC Karel, what an achievement! Absolutely in awe so I am. What a great watch too... thanks so much for putting yourself through hell and for finding the energy to produce this video too. Sending lots of love and well wishes from Scotland :)
Absolutely incredible!
Just amazing - what an accomplishment!
Heb vorig jaar tijdens het event de Twitter feed van Keith Dunn gevolgd. Geweldig om nu echt de beelden te zien hoe je het hebt beleefd. Mooi document, ik heb genoten.
I can barely run a bath, what you have achieved is incredible, I was glued to the screen throughout, so impressive!
Congratulations man, I was checking the news, twitter etc when you were running it, and was hoping you to finish it. So cool.
Wow!!! Congratulations! Both on your race and on such a great film!!
I met him at an event in Park City Utah and he is such a great person! Great job on all your accomplishments
What an amazing achievement and film.
Wow Karel! Congratulations on your victory! And congrats to your team for their commitment to your success!
Incredible. Thanks!
So amazing. Congratulations on a remarkable accomplishment! And thank you for this superb film documenting Karel's adventure. And huge congratulations to Joe, also. Great idea to include Joe and Karel's fascinating commentary throughout.
That was incredible! What a gritty performance and great team victory. It had to be one of the greatest endurance races of all time with three finishers, and a legendary one-man support crew effort. You guys had that dialed in. Every part of that was impressive and inspiring. Way to keep after it after all the letdowns and find a way to finish.
Geweldig Karel! Tranen in mijn ogen door jouw ongelooflijke prestatie! Zoveel bewondering.
Geeking out over this! So good
Magnifique film! T’es une légende Karel 🙌🏼💪🏼
Merci pour la vidéo 🇧🇪
I loved this! You are such an inspiration to me and you have an amazing crew. This gives me strength to be my very best at my own goals. Thank you.
This is truly inspiring, Such a fantastic watch of the battle that you need to do to take part in this run.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this incredible experience! Congratulations!
Amazing athletes, great video !
Fantastic on every level ❤
This is incredible. I can relate to the shouting to keep yourself awake and focused so much.. just not in the context of the Barkley course. Amazing effort Karel XXX
