I think I might account for half the views of this video. I've been watching it before every long run for just over a decade. And at the thirty mile mark when Josh points ahead and says, "one more hill"...I was so inspired that I got it tattooed on my arm. I see it as "Just another challenge. You got this."

one of my all time favorite running videos!

I hope you know you inspired me to be my best in high school about 10 years back. I watched these videos religiously. I really miss those days but it's nice to look back after all these years.

Thanks for the inspiration, now to accomplish my dreams and goals one step at a time!!!

Starting running after the first time I watched this video nearly 15 years ago. 20 marathons, 6 100-mile races, 100k's, 50k's...and on and on later and this still inspires me. Good memories. Miss the old Cox/Hall/Meb days ...some of the best.

Right now in my nascent running career, I cannot fathom running 31.6 miles! That is otherworldly. Way to go! You have my utmost respect. I hope to complete a marathon some day. Right now I am running a "mere" five miles a day but eventually that distance will grow...You have to crawl before you walk. This is a great video and is very inspirational. Thank you!

I love the sound of each individual foot step and the sound of the gravel when his foot strikes

Fantastico corredor, vaya tecnica de carrera,..... realmente PORTENTOSO.....

Josh is an absolute machine! Maintaining his pace over that distance is incredible ... I watch this video every week for motivation!!

unbelievable pace. I love the atmosphere of the video, running is tough and nice, nice and tough. Simply my the most favorite "running vid".

your video and the music you have chosen is in my mind every time i try to break my personal "wall" during my runs!!!greatings from greece....

Aaah good times, think I was 14 when i first came across your vids they really helped out appreciate it hope you're still smashing life man.

This video always makes me wanna go run for a long time... Love you guys!

Amazing run. Definitely an inspiration!!! Thank You! You just got me pumped up to run!

I have watched this video 100 times at least. I love marathons, this video works for me.

Hey Josh, I still get inspired watching this bro. Keep fit and strong in the Lord. God bless.

Simply fantastic... The effortless running in miles 20 makes my 20 mile effort so stark in contrast. Thanks for showing the end of the run. A runner who gave his all for a training run is awe-inspiring. Congrats on the record!

I think this is one of the first videos I saw of Josh Cox, needless to say this man has had my absolute respect since.

Fantastic runner! Great video.

the song alone gets me inspired...the footage is just the icing on the cake...

Haha his mile splits are quicker than my KM splits and I can only hold it for half the distance. Awesome.

Amazing video!Great style of running and Josh Cox is a great inspirator!

Josh is an awesome person that I met this year. A humble person. This is just another story in his journey. Keep doing what you love to do! I did some calling at the PF in AZ - 07 sec off - VIP running soul brother ...

Fantastic. Thanks for the video.

I love the sound of your feet hitting the ground. Sounds like a machine in perfect timing...awesome! Thanks for the videos.

This clip is still Epic!

Best feeling ever after a long run! We had a 16 mile run (2 easy, 6 tempo, out and back) pretty intense/difficult but felt amazing when you finish

I just watched you break the American record for the 50K, I was standing on the track cheering you on! Great job! You're a true inspiration to other Christian runners!

This man runs for the right reason.

Breathtaking...

he just ran my entire mileage on a race week in one run...

Inspirational video man!

this is givin me motivation for my marathon monday

love this video! I watch it before all of my long runs to get pumped up. Just wish I had a great place like Mammoth Lakes to run at instead of the flat ol' midwest....

this is truly epic.

Amazing!

Great guys, beautiful people and a great running inspiration :-)

Pray for Josh Cox and Ryan Hall this monday. Make America proud you two!. Hate that i'm not running Boston this year, IT band can be the worst injury ever. Will be back next year for a new PR.

it is inspiring to watch, as this guy is actually bloody good at running. it is a shame the trolls who take pleasure in slating video's just to feel good about themselves, whilst hiding behind a monitor. anyone who does a "training" run in the mountains, for 30+ miles gets my respect.

That's great! Great motivation! Josh's tattoos are AWESOME! I knew the Hebrew one right off, but didn't catch the greek one until reading through the comments.

great run

awesome ! awesome ! awesome! Funny how runs become such memories....scenery...feeling....

Josh, amazing running...eternal names wrapped around you...fantastic poetry, too. I trust your Christian faith is still strong, even if your pace as fallen off with age. Blessings, brother!

this is amazing

Very Inspiring!!

Great run. See this for more great inspiration! Huntington Beach Marathon 2014

inspiring!

BEST VIDEO ON KZfaq!

i Love this video

poetry in motion

This makes me want to go outside and run till my lungs explode.

@Moronathoner The intro music is the David Crowder Band (O Praise Him (All This For A King)). And the song at the end of Johnny Cash is also David Crowder Band doing "the lark ascending". Awesome band.

You have to admit that you stopped at that specific spot for the cinematic effect of the mountains :D

whao, what pace. Inspiring.

I like this video

LOVE the music

awesome thanks, what kind of diet would i be looking at? im not a beginner body builder but no means a pro, but i think my diet would have to start differing

Josh is wearing arm warmers. Mammoth Lakes has pretty low humidity at elevation, so even 80 degree temperatures can actually feel a little cool. Those warmers help prevent the hands from getting cold (and are also helpful for wiping your nose after a, um, snot rocket); quite helpful for a three hour run. :)

I love 1:45 - 2:00 / the sound of steps & unbelieveable pace & nice movement of body

wow you guys are really fast!!

Mammoth Lakes, Cali. rises to 7900 ft. above sea level. A group of elite us distance runners train together there under coach Terrence Mahon including Ryan Hall, Meb Keflezeghi, Deena Kastor and Josh Cox.

nice camera work...lol....yea that dude is a beast...

if your still out there... do you ever use supps like carb pro before your marathons?

It's amazing whats happening on a physiological level inside that man's body.

anyone know what song that it that comes up in the last 30 seconds or so?

BEAST

MIle 30, 5:11? Amazes me every time I see this!

WHAT A BEAST!

What a beast

what a view!

@Respectloyalty1 That plays a role, that and years of 100, 120, and 140+ mile weeks.

anyone know what the name of the song is at the end of this video?

@openuniverse2003 Alright alright. What's your personal best for half marathon?

If I had such terrain to work with, I would run 24/7!

WHy does he have compression socks on his arm? Circulation?

AWESOME PLAIN AWESOME

A machine...

Beautiful, simply beautiful! Guys, keep running, you are great inspiration! I would have loved in my good old days to have shared some mileage together. I would love today to share some mileage together :) Magic sensations...

Holy shit 7:45 to 5 flat in 5 monthes thats incredible good job!!!!!!!

Holy shit those splits

what shoes are they wearing?

I actually wear one on my left calf for circulation but I am surprised a good runner like him would need them on his arm. I wonder if he needs them or they just help?

@tripleMmagic whats your school record?? im hoping to get mine in 3 weeks and i gotta do 4:25

what is the name of the shorts josh cox was wearing?

Anyone know what his tattoo says?

Couldn't agree with you anymore. What makes you a better runner is the work and effort you put into it. It's not complicated, but to get to the next level, you have to ask quite a bit from your mind, body, and soul. What are you willing to sacrifice to attain your goals? No piece of technology is going to give you that answer.

@mhdezvasyoumom What is your furthest run, and what is the time for that run. It sounds like you are a great runner already.

wow this guy is crazy.... Hes running super fast

What's the point of these arm sleeves? I'd understand it if it was cold, but its glowing hot in that movie... ? Do they have a special function, like pushing the blood in some way?

David Crowder*Band music, nice!!!

what is the name of the song?

I laugh my ass off and in awe at the same time, everytime I see the very beginning of this video. 1 minute hard/ 1 minute @ 6 minute pace X 10. There's not a large part of the population that can run a 6 minute per for even one much less for repeats. So can only assume that the hards are in the 5's. But elite runners just bust that shit out like its a Sunday jog.
