Got you brother. First ☝️
Man that's farther than my salary raise.
Only if you go film with COPS👉🏾👮🏻♂️🏃♂️
Run a marathon in boots now chris.
If you reach 100k will you run a 100k?
Imagine doing everything you can to just keep running and the guy next to you is effortlessly plugging an ad
"Effortlessly" you say... meanwhile he cut's the video every few seconds to catch his breath
Imagine being surprised there are different ability levels
@danielstrange2888 I want to see you replicate what he is doing
@Edgar-mw5gv I mean, It isn't a bad thing to catch your breath! We're all human after all, its completely normal :)
@iloveparkmoondae i never Said anything different
The fact that you’re talking perfectly normal while running is absolutely amazing
he didnt smoke maybe
It's quite amazing what Marathon training does to your body.
@MDNY18 habibi it's going to take A LOT more than just "not smoking" to do that. sad to hear i know
@alexanderredhorse1297 no
he cuts the video when he breaths
Of my many years of distance race training, this proves that being able to talk (clearly with reason) while running is the pace you want to be at.
I discovered that after my first race I recorded with my GoPro many years ago, much to the dismay of many marathon runners seeing me run past them whilst chatting to my camera 🤩
@Baggerzz my dude, are you mentally ill? just cause the guy has some statue from another religion? The assumption that you even understand what Gods wants you to do is arrogant to begin with
Nope, you should not be able to talk in the last 5k
But then i'd be rolling on the ground...
I've just started working out and a workout makes me unable to think, let alone speak 😅 well, kinda able, but I lose braincells by doing very basic study with minimal reps, and walking on the treadmill at 6 kmph for 12-15 minutes - keeping balance on the treadmill is kinda tough with my state of health and coordination issues. This guy is awesome 😅
Imagine training for weeks and then fighting for your life on the road and this guy casually speeds by you so unbothered and with so much extra energy he’s vlogging
Weeks that's months or years of training. 6 minute mile back to back is absolutely nuts!
Imagine blowing your whole gambit while a greasy pickle slaps you across the face and a leatherback turtle chases you up a windmill. Wwweeeeee
Some people are just built different 😂
Imagine not knowing that it’s called editing
@universalpowder1682 my best 5k is 21mins lmao. my mile is5:32. huuuuge difference. 6min is some MAD consistency!
nice, you did the marathon in 13:10 minutes. Respect
😂😂 Amazing, unstoppable force this Chris guy!
that's the power of these shoes
would be even faster in crocs😂
This kid is a freak, he's reading an ad midway thru a marathon, I'd be gasping in gibberish lol
He is running in zone 2-3 where talking is no problem. Like most marathoners.
no the gasping isnt the problem ;)
@tsuki5298lol im not in bad shape, i work outdoors and my whole day of 10 hours is a cardio session, but marathon shape is a different ballgame.
@Nyelands a bit of a running snob are ya?
@tonydauto82 No. Why do you say that?
9:06 -Another runner: "De donde venís?" (Where you from?) -Chris: "MARATHON!!! VAMOS!!"
@ZekeAR2 yeah we Spanish speakers caught that.
@IeldudeI Yes, we can even know his nationality by his accent.
@IeldudeI and as not spanish speaker i caught that this relation was a strange
Maybe he comes from the town Marathon in Greece?
@ZekeAR2 I couldnt guess this guys nationality by his accent.
Bro : im trying to set a pb
Also bro: does a live ad and literally sets up esim during the run 💀
(Bro also bro) really bro bro.
@Baggerzz Do not cause your slave to die, unless it's at least 3 days after the beating. Exodus 21:20-21
@akunog5143god should repent to the people he oppressed
Ok now I really want to know how fast Chris can rip a marathon without filming and talking
hahaha I do be yapping
2:40.....
@Shandy6733 No reason why he can't go sub 2:30?
If he would let us see his heart rate from the marathon, we could make a pretty good guesstimate 😮.
@Shandy6733that was in crocs.
i hate running, i dont know how my algorythm brought me here tbh, but enjoyed every second of the video. The fact that you did an AD while running and spoke all the way through the maraton still has me cracked, you re insane, keep it up and enjoy Spain
alex-k1c8z 7 months in, still suffering... dont lie to him haha
alex-k1c8z I did it during covid, now do it again for a marathon. Still don't see the appeal, very unhealthy for legs and knees, and in a city for lungs. I just do it because I can't do other sports right now, and only audiobooks let me enjoy it. Rollerskating even is a more effective type of cardio without all the minuses of destroying your legs.
It's addictive, I'll only say that
alex-k1c8zno, rather jump rope or ride a stationary bike
Same 😂
@B-jv8iyyou got me at "it destroys your legs and knees" lmao fuck that.
"where are you from?" - marathon! VAMOS!
I remember when you had your very first video sponsor. Now you're doing sponsors mid-marathon like a pro! So glad to see the channel growing!
Thank you for coming on the journey with me!
@BaggerzzHuh
@chanhianchuan yeah I'm confused too -
@Baggerzz Do not cause your slave to die, unless it's at least 3 days after the beating. Exodus 21:20-21
5:00 nah the dedication to the sponsor to do this mid marathon 😨 mind blown
"The walls got me"...I felt that.
Here I am proud of my 5:40 all out mile and this guy is having a full conversation running a marathon while keeping a 6:27 average mile pace holy fuck!!!
That's exactly where my jaw dropped. Mile 21 at that pace. Jeez. The numbers alone made me tired lmao
and doing adds
@drange.79* ads
Theres levels to this shit😂
*bro gets disqualified before he even reaches the start*
Can’t believe you did the Saily promo in the middle of running a marathon. Well done. You have unlocked next level vlogging.
@Baggerzz Do not cause your slave to die, unless it's at least 3 days after the beating. Exodus 21:20-21
5:21 dayum he’s flexing at this point
Bro was doing a hole vlog with ads and all while running a marathon... insane cardio!
Chris’s running: talking
Cameraman: has a whole camera while running
U know he is running and tLking and holding his camera right?
@sazrimanhis cameraman was setting the pace for him
@Rooxie973 there was no cameraman. Lewis held the camera a few times but thats it
Noah Duffin’s astonishing 100-mile ultramarathon, completed in a Tesco outfit, showcases unparalleled endurance and spirit. This remarkable feat not only highlights his physical prowess but also his unique flair, arguably positioning him as the greatest - and perhaps the greasiest - sportsperson of our generation.
When you're this elite of a runner, the cardiovascular and breathing is not the issue. It's the physical endurance that gets you.
@rij3142and if my grandmother had those shoes she would be Usain Bolt!
@ I'm obviously not saying what he did was unimpressive. I'm just saying that for a guy that ran at the National level in the UK, him being able to talk during this is expected.
@rij3142great effort and video but 2:49 is nowhere near elite level for a man - its also nowhere near elite for a woman
And he did the complete sponsor clip as well.
As a midfoot/heel striker, these would absolutely destroy me 😂
12:41 Chris- "Have you had a good time?"
runner guy - "Time? two 0..." 😭😭
8:30 i always find running alone a lot better. Group run makes me think I am too fast or too slow so I start overthinking about being worse or tiring out quicker 😂
1:05 bro already about to be in first😊
I hope Kevin sees this and shakes in his boots
You mean crocs 😂
*crocs
1:30 the ears make you more aerodynamic too, right? Such a bully
😂😂😂😂
Honestly despite the shoes being faster, you also ran with a camera the whole time so I’d say that’s a huge impact on the performance
Dude running a marathon and doing ads while in the middle of running with no change in breath.......mad athlete......
This guy’s awkwardly social 💀😭
5:31 😂 over 5 miles in, and he’s spewing sponsor info while still running 🏃♂️…. 💪🏾
He's been doing it for 13 years
casually do an add read while lewis is fighting for his life is sending me 😂
I don’t believe you cheated. Wearing those ‘cheat shoes,’ holding a camera the whole time, and providing commentary during the entire stream probably took more effort-and cost more-than just running the marathon itself🎉
Dropping the gels and salt tablets etc was a sign of like Spirit of marathons being slightly salty
He running by itself already😂not other person running for him😂
The audacity of doing an ad read in the middle of a competitive marathon. That's confidence.
9:00? He asked you where you are from and you answered "marathon" hahaha
Chris: makes a advertisement during a marathon
Lewis: dying while Chris is doing the advertisement 😅
Beautiful mate. Thanks for bringing us along for your run.
Can't imagine being able to finish a marathon let alone after recording and narrating a video at the same time. Props!
This dude ran an ad after running 5 miles, while running. Incredible
the way you where casually hosting a video while running 2:50 is great :D
can we all appreciate Chris' office is RUNNING A MARATHON?!? wtf. does an add plug WHILE RUNNING wtf. I'm so impressed. (but also is nothing safe!?!)
Kevin watching the end, shaking in his Crocs. It's not over!
😂😂😂
Currently training for my half marathon but was experiencing a very demotivated episode this week. I really enjoyed your video and it even got me hyped to run again today. Thank you!
even the saily commercial was fun to watch because of the way you did it , awesome man!
I bet people were like “ WHAT ARE THOSE ??!”😂😂
Thanks for the video and stay safe ✌️
Running 6:30 while talking is crazy
I can understand that by looking at albert😂
Love the video and the insight to running a successful marathon no matter the shoes... BRAVO
just sat down with my food, i just know this is gonna be a banger
bros friend keeping up is crazy
Antony won the Olympic gold medal for best mullet.
Vamos!! Excelente corrida 🇧🇷🇧🇷
That Crocs marathon is gonna have to be quite a bit faster because there’s a guy named Daniel Pederson in Madison, Wisconsin that ran 2:31:20 back in October
I enjoyed watching this video. I could fee the energy in the crowd and the shared determination can push people to accomplish anything they set their mind to!
last time i dropped 2 gels, it was definitely a marathon... 😵💫
The hardest part of the marathon that is under rated : the amount of conditioning you need on your feet. Even in good running shoes, it hurts to run that long.
Marathon is the easy part if you actually train hard .
@jake-jp3vb ok? What is the hard part? Bc i train for fighting grown men in a boxing ring.
Basically agreeing with what you were saying.
For me the hardest part was the training, regardless what you are training for.
@Notice-bockscar i signed up for a full marathon the day before. With my max run 5 miles.... but i train for combat sports 13x a week. The run was great til about 16-20 miles in. Then my feet wanted to divorce me. Cardio heart lungs energy were fine, barely broke a sweat. But my feet........ i could not walk for 2 days.
@ you must have good stamina, most people can’t do longer runs without conditioning.
9:06
-Where your from?
-Marathon
Where did you come from
-did you have a good time?
-time? two hours
The misunderstandings in this video are hilarious
Maybe... When he was born in greece... (Marathon was named after the distance of the town "marathon" to "athen")
Filming a video while running a marathon is an insane concept. Very impressive.
I'm over here running a 9:30 avg HM and this bro is having full on convos running 6:30
i am 10 years out of running but shoes like this are motivating me. its like a fun tool like skating or bicycle
Kevin is going to do a banned shoes marathon to get that record as well... let's goooooo kevin!
Just when training for a marathon starts to feel like too much videos like this pop up, very inspiring, thanks Chris - great run. You really captured the excitement, challenge, and accomplishment of running a marathon, even if the shoes are banned!
Do I like running, no. Did I watch the full video, YES
That was a very good ad too I don’t travel anywhere but it made me wanna download it
Having run halfs, and full marathons, and ultra-marathons, if you can talk so easily while running, you are not running to your limit. You could easily run sub 2:30. Personally I can do a standard marathon gasping so hard I cannot say a word, (no further than full marathon), but I once came across a girl who ran 80km while gasping the whole 8 hours, she couldn't say a word.
Murcia is my city, nice to see you here
Running 4min/km while plugging ads and making a video is just mental. All the while everyone around him is suffering. Hahaha
Lactic acid fears this man
I mean, the fact that you're running 6:30 miles consistently and you're still talking clearly and not out of breath like 10 miles in is crazy
Right!?!?
This video has just started my journey to run a marathon. Thanks
Lmao this is genius, i vaguely remember meeting Anthony in Murcia in a club at night :D Suddenly, i watch a random running video, AND THERE HE IS.
i enjoy watching thia video hope u do more of this 42k wow
im convinced this is the most underrated RUclipsr..
fr he’s always doing the coolest stuff all on his own, actually pretty inspirational
Thanks brother!
@ChrisHowettreally man you're the most underrated youtuber I ever watched in my 14years of life
what do you mean? he gets over a million views just with running, i wouldn't call that underrated 🤣
most definitely this is my first video watching and i just love the energy
So even when you were suffering the most you were still smashing out consistent mile splits, amazing job!
He is running while talking and with camera he is 💀💀
9:06 "where are you from?"
"Marathon" 😂
You can only truly appreciate this pace if you yourself rund, BANNED SHOES OR NOT. Running with camera, speaking , respect. my pb is 3:36MIN
This video has it all. Keep it up! Vamos!!
0:50 I love how American Idiot starts playing here
shut up
@Aj_oriondriftwhy are we hating mate 😭
@Aj_oriondrift why ru hating on this comment?
@Aj_oriondriftit’s a good song
new subscriber here from the Philippines! awesome running content, brother!
Respect to the camera man
That was so fun man! Amazing experience 🙌🏽
The cardio to be able run a marathon at an astonishing pace and talk to a camera at the same time just blows my mind.
Bloody amazing! 🫡✊🏽👍🏽
Salt tablets are for sports over 4 hours. Save them for your ironmans!
Welcome to Murcia Chris!!
12:10 ANCIENT EGYPT
Love the chopin music near the end
This runner has a very positive and fun attitude. He’s running a marathon yet he’s having a good time! Those two do not go together. The good time happens after you have crossed the finish line and can rest.
The moment you sow a crocks man finished before you😂😂
God I'm out of shape... I wouldnt be able to talk to the camera after the first 100 m lmao smh
Really missed your video Chris!
Doing sponsor ads next to your competition has to feel so disrespectful. I like it.
Less than 50k? I'm sticking to this channel, you're destined to be great mate!
Genuinely how do you get this good at running?! I run every day and am consistently pushing myself but still 3 miles at like 8:30 pace is extremely challenging! Good job though lol! 😂
Congratulations on a great run. So fast and consistent.
How did you do an ad read mid marathon Nevermind trying to go for a 2:50 marathon and doing it bro ur insane
He had a guy with a teleprompter on his back running infront of him.
He has a very well developed aerobic system & burning fat & glycogen at conversational ability under 95% of his LT2. Cheers
These look wild
I like how the name of the shoes were said in the beginning and in the description. It makes it really easy.
Man if only you could google: puma banned running shoes... and find
*Fast RB Nitro Elite*
sybau
@Baggerzz you really spammed this a lot.
@regulardudeguy aw did my comment hurt your feelings? Cry about it mouth breather.
