I've not done a marathon but done several half's and it's brutal hard. Everything hurts, physical mental...adding the balance with the beam is just added intensity! Kudos Nile!!!!!

As someone that has run a marathon (and trained for it so a few 20+ mile runs). This is mental. Not only the ambitious and endurance just to make it 26.2 miles but to walk ina circle for that long... 🤯🤯

Nile, your dedication, commitment, mindset and perseverance to achieve the end goal was all on display here. That’s the difference between an elite sportsperson and the rest of us mere mortals. Really well done lad !

I love the funny challenges, but this was something truly special. Congrats Nile.

Seeing how calm you were through all of this, especially the physical pain you were experiencing is just inspiring. I wonder how you would take on an actual special forces training, seeing as how mentally in control you are. I've never done it myself, but I've seen so many videos of different athletes not being able to do it. Obviously it's not exactly the same, but seeing you in this video, makes one wonder how far you can actually go. And I think you would actually do it pretty damn well, if I'm being honest. Well done Nile! :)

I am shocked and speechless. The drive it must take to walk a marathon on balance beams for no other purpose than to make a KZfaq video (and prove to everyone that you can) is insane.

You did great I can't imagine the pain you were in for the next day or two

Even though that was a crazy idea, I think it was extremely inspiring and really proved that anything is possible if you put your mind and soul into it. I have a lot of respect for what you do Nile (and the boys also), but you just showed incredible mental and physical strength to be able to push through the pain and exhaustion. That was quite admirable Nile, and you should definitely be proud of yourself. Lots of love to you and the whole squad ❤️

In my training walks/hikes (2018), my apple watch didn't work unless tethered to my phone, which would die in the middle of the woods stranding me without GPS. So I got a garmin Fenix 5 so I wouldn't end up in the middle of nowhere in Wales without GPS. I loaded the whole route into the watch which was also helpful keeping me on the trail where it tended to "disappear". Entire Offa's Dyke Path, entire Cotswolds way plus Stonehenge, Stratford-on-Avon and London later, I had a GPS record of everywhere I'd walked, pace, calories, etc. Over 300 miles with a 25+ lb pack in 21 days.

if a lad ever chats me up and says no when i ask has he walked a marathon on balance beams in under 12 hours , off with ya🙅‍♀️

FWIW, I never doubted you for a second, Nile. I didn’t know if you could get it done in 12 hours, but I knew you’d go however it took. I feel like Apple Watches really only count steps well when you’re actively swinging your arms back and forth. Plus, J’s watch was probably set to her stride length, which would be shorter than yours on a normal day, much less when you’re walking with such determination and purpose. VERY well done, mate, and I hope your feet & body have healed quickly. 💕

I never comment on videos but this was so impressive. Good effort. Walking a marathon without prepping is a beast move anyway even without doing it on the beam 👏🏻

Really can't figure out how this video only has 6k views or smtg. This is so ispiring and you did an amazing job! Hope this video reach at least 100k views! Keep it up bud! 💪🏼

Wow!!! This is such an amazing feat! I really admire how determined you are. The strength you possess both physically and mentally is astounding Nile. Great job!! Awe, admiration, and much love from Georgia, USA! Y'all keep having fun and crushing every challenge!

I feel like this is one of many good demonstrations of how mentally strong an olympic athlete can be. Nile, you're a different breed.

This is actually insane!!!! Well done for actually completing this - I dread to think what this felt like! This should definitely have more views!! Should have done this for charity!

I had a discectomy yesterday of my L5 S1 and I have been struggling today. Struggling to move, to get comfortable, to do the tiniest things. This video was actually really inspiring because one of my goals is to run another half marathon. Thanks to you and your crew for being amazing.

Congratulations Nile!!!! I was glued to this video willing you on. I believed that you would complete this & felt the only thing that would stop you would have been a serious enough injury that would have physically prevented you from getting back on the beam, which I hoped & I was very happy to see that this did not occur. A marathon is not just physical but a mental endurance exercise to complete. Adding in being up high on a narrow beam just increased that & increase the discipline level. Nile, congratulations to not just completing physically but mentally. You are a huge inspiration to everyone. I look forward to cheering you on when you are on Dancing on Ice 2023. 🎉🥇👏🥇🥳🥇🍾🥇🎊🥇🍾🥇🥳🥇👏🥇🎉 🥇👏🥇🥳🥇🍾🥇🎊🥇🍾🥇🥳🥇👏🥇🎉 🥇👏🥇🥳🥇🍾🥇🎊🥇🍾🥇🥳🥇👏🥇🎉🥇👏🥇🥳🏅🏅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow this is just amazing! Love everything you guys stand for! We all need a group of friends like you lot have!

Good job !!!! I'm curious about how did you feel the next morning ? Were you still able to move ?

Nile, u r incredibly motivated, determined and anything you set your mind to you will achieve it. I am so proud of you!

Gee. Ok. I’m an American in Seattle who loves to travel in your great country. Yea. I sorta recall your Olympic and other achievements, and I even did gymnastics as a boy, Your posts here? It’s hard not to love, admire and respect what you are doing. Man? This is truly great stuff. Your work here is joyous. Thank you, sir.

Amazing Nile well done

I love the crazy antics that you do in your videos. Nice work staying crazy cool!

You are crazy but so so inspiring. Love your and the whole teams videos.

That is incredible!! Changing the game forever!

I’ve watched you for years man, i’m very proud bro! Keep up the good work, your videos keep getting better and more ambitious, mad respect!

This is absolutely f'n bonkers! 👏👏👏

Insanity!! So driven Nile. Well done 👍🏼. Changing the game indeed. My feet hurt on your behalf!

That was properly silly. Well done! What an achievement. A weird one....but definitely an amazing achievement. Nice work that man

WELL DONE Niall. PROUD of you xx

Well done nile, not easy on a balance beam. Also congratulations in deciding to do this and sticking to it through technical difficulties and the pain barrier. Maybe all of the gang could do a swimming marathon after x laps change just a thought. Congratulations nile

You never cease to amaze me!!!! Well done you crazy fool!! Xxx

An insanely impossible task!!! Congrats on finishing!!!! Not sure the math is 100% correct but it is close enough. Great job finishing something difficult and uncomfortable, always pushing is what those rings on your back represent. Best of the Best. Well done Nile

Amazing! Your feet ouch 😬. Changing the game! ⭐️

I walked a marathon to raise money for NHS during the first lockdown. It was up and down a 4 metre room and I live streamed it on my KZfaq channel. Still a great memory (and I raised some good money also)

Watching your videos everyday has inspired me to get fit and work out everyday... along with doing Wim Hof breathing. Thank you so much for doing what you're doing.

These videos from you are always such a pleasure to watch. Greetings from finland nile, keep up the good work :)

Good on ya Nile that’s some pure dedication right there ! We are all proud of you ❤️

Thank you KZfaq for recommending this. Hats off to you Nile. Pure dedication and commitment to get that done. Definitely worth a Sub after that

Hats off to you Nile, your perseverance is next level. Enjoy a nice soak in the bath & I hope u don’t suffer to much tomorrow. Xx

Can you imagine how many miles an elite gymnast walks on a beam? 🌎

when i saw the notification i was like.... no he didnt... but u did omg. incredible determination

I LOOOOVED that math solving from Joanna! I had all A's in highschool for math so made me nerd out trying to follow hahaha 💖💖🤓

You’re awesome Nile!!! TRAIN SMART KEEP IT REAL!!! 🤗

Well done! Incredable

Congratulations!!! That was awesome!!! Feel for you tho, you musta been in pain the next few days! And I’m in constant pain, disabled with it, and I hate to think of anyone feeling anything that I do!!! xxxx

This is the second video I've seen on your channel, and it's crazy impressive!

That was epic Nile!

,what fukin dedication well done Nile love you and your sister keep up the videos great content as always

Awesome job, congratulations Nile!

So proud of you for keeping going, awesome!!

Nile Wilson you are incredible and amazing 💕💕💕💕💯

Congratulations, what an incredible feat! 👏👏👏

Great video as always

I really thought he was going to have to call it with as much pain as he was in. Really sucks he couldn't get a great, accurate tracking with the watch. Great job Nile!

Mad respect for this achievement! as someone who has run a couple of marathons, at roughly 200 pounds, it boggles my mind how you can keep going while balancing and going on such a precise route!

Indoor tracking any sort of distance activity, especially with an Apple Watch which is never as accurate as you’d think, sucks. I hate that you had to do so much work in the middle just to know where you were. Good job on sticking to it man, the mental exhaustion is sometimes even worse than the physical discomfort.

Have to say you don't know who I am but I am SO PROUD OF YOU! HEART OF A LION BABY HEART OF A LION!!! I'm alot older than you but have to say you've inspired me to get up and try something everyday! Nicely done Sir Nicely done! Thank you and Congratulations Nile! Have a wonderful day!

I feel like just the presence of ash and stoney alone must have helped him so much

You go man 👌🏻💕😘You are amazing. Love you.

Serious determination there, next up, break the world record for most somersaults in 24 hours, current record is 1,001, that’s only about 42 an hour, or 55 an hour with 6 hours sleep

I've just started watching but man what a crazy idea, if you actually execute it, your dedication is so inspiring people with your commitment never seize to amaze me all the love ❤

Guinness needs to make it official! That's dedication! Proud of you lad!

I'm very curious about the aftermath of this experiment. How are Nile's feet? Is he injured because of this? If so what will he do to recover?

Absolutely incredible. Big respect

Wow I can't believe you did it! That is insane! Awesome!!

I know what it's like doing a normal marathon and it's tough. Most of it is mentally willing you body to keep going forward. But this was next level.

Wonderful congratulesion 👍👏💕

And the cameraman doing 360s for a couple hours LOL talk about dedication

Well done, smashed it! 🤩 I can't imagine how much your feet must have hurt by the end of it 😱

camera man in the middle spinning definitely is getting paid well lool

Way too go Nile

This is insanity😲🔥absolute monster. Big kudos

Nile, you absolute savage! Next upload - flip the script: The Musketeers carry a balance beam the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles)!

congrat great job Nile

Insane. Respect

You're a legend bro, this was insane!!!! :D

Awesome video!

The way Ash say “contributing”

This is insane 😱😱😱😱

Major props well done!!!

Good job Nile!

Sometimes the best tool for the job is “old school” like a pedometer. Ha! Ha! I think you and your crew are fantastic in everything you do! I have followed you for a few years and am so proud of your amazing accomplishments. This was so impressive on so many levels!

That was quite a feat, Nile! I hope you got in a hot tub to relax those muscles so you could walk the next day without wincing ever step! Of course a brew or two might help also! Great video content, awesome job!

I love your videos

Read the title and laughed I was like “yep gotta see what this is about”

Potential video idea: trying pole vaulting. Gymnastics backgrounds usually translate really well

"the gram pacer test.." lmao

The DOMS after this must of been insane.

12:56 aye yooo Sami is secretly in love with him

I’m so proud it ain’t even normal

That wink at 11:06 could make me do ANYTHING. Sign me up

congrats! very inspiring :)

How the hell has this video not blown up?

a killer on the calfs .

I have done 5 marathons and I will be doing the Chicago Marathon in Oct 🙌🏻🙌🏻💖

Super impressive. Hope the ice packs felt awesome!

What I find it helpful to tackle massive numbers is to just focus on getting one more... suddenly u're a few ones closer soon a couple dozens.

Congrats
