Nothing was obviously wrong. I just started feeling like everything was just way too hard at about 10k. And if i didn’t need to finish to get my 5th star, i probably would have stepped off the course at about halfway. This race was a very long struggle. And that’s why you have to lace em up and race. Nothing is a given.

The people of London really showed some great hospitality and got me through to the finish.

I love how even though you were struggling and not able to achieve goal pace, you seemed to have an absolute blast with the spectators. You continue to be an inspiration ❤
-
Nobody does race Vlog better than Kofuzi. Absolutely nobody.

You know what i respect most about you Mike, you don't make excuses.. 95% of other people would be like my hip flexor, nutrition, heat, whatever you just said "i dont got it today". Imagine going back to when you finished Baltimore and telling your younger self a decade from now my "i dont got it" marathon is a 3:23 . Youve come a long way my friend. I think all the travel caught up with you.. Great race and video as usual regardless..
-
This video is amazing. The soundtrack, cinematics, suspense on how you were going to do, the crowd's support... but above all, the raw reality of how hard a marathon can be, regardless of your goals. As someone training for his first marathon, it is an excellent reminder to enjoy the race and not be obsessed with time/pace goals. Congrats Mike!
-
Well done Kofuzi.You Gave me a great boost when I saw you at the halfway point. I ran my 1st sub 3 in 2.58.53 . 🤛
-
It was great to share some miles with you mate! The messages at the end from the family were amazing to see. Super race recap!!
-
YWGO! Tried to film you at mile 26 but realized I couldn’t afford the tickets, so I just cheered for you from Texas. Your great resolve and character is so inherent and consistent, it’s ALMOST taken for granted. 🙏🏼 thank you
-
Hey bro! I’m so pleased you got to see the team on course they were waiting for you! Great seeing you last week ❤
-
It was a 'pinch yourself' moment when I was standing on the sidelines near mile 16 and the one and only Kofuzi runs past!! Congrats on another marathon and another amazing video to go with it! ❤
-
Brilliant Mike! Wonderful to finally meet you and big kudos for gutting that one out! Hope you had fun here!
-
Sometimes, we need a little setback in order to come back stronger and better 💪 It's still an absolutely amazing achievement, especially because you did not stop and were still able to soak in all the cheers from the crowd . Thank for taking us along🙏🙌
-
Congrats on finishing this one and earning your fifth star! Very well deserved! Huge respect for fighting until the end, despite struggling so much - I think that's all what running is about. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey. I hope you can recover quickly!
-
Congratulations on finishing this one! Watching you was like watching myself from my Boston marathon last week, with almost identical split times and finishing time! You hold on to the finish and that’s what marathons are always about !👏👏👏
-
I love your videos but I particularly like this one as you showed that someone even as fast and as good a runner as you can have difficult races. And somehow that makes you even more relatable. Thanks for sharing this. I ran my first London on Sunday and loved it. Struggled the last 10k but overall it’s the most I’ve ever enjoyed a race 😊😊
-
I don't usually comment, but I love your videos. Your videos inspire me to get outside everyday. You did wonderful and for some reason my favorite part is how you went over to support Shaka Dukes as he was struggling. You all are amazing runners!
-
Well done Mike for getting through a tough day and still captured London in all its glory 👏🏽👏🏽
-
Thank you for the picture you took for myself and the lady I had not met in person but with whom I'd been friends for 3/4 years. It was great seeing and identifying you at the green start. !!!!. Well-done champ
-
I loved every aspect of this video, incredible crowds cheering for runners, you struggling but still fighting. Definitely one of the better displays of humanity.
-
Your face as you ran past the Fordy crew at mile 18.5 was priceless. Good to see you in person even if was only for a split second. You were looking smooth!
-
You learn more about yourself on the tough days than on the easy days. Ko, you were inspiring, caring, and determined, during that struggle. Great example for all of us. Nicely done!
