If you’ve ever watched my videos and thought:
“Wow, Knut just runs marathons, travels, films everything, AND somehow remembers to eat? Well, running reminds me to eat.”
Let me tell you something.
Behind the scenes is survival mode with everything happening in my life rn. What I’m doing now is all new to me, and here, you’ll be the first to read about it.
The Molde Marathon vlog?
Bro.. you saw the run, but you didn’t see the struggle before it.

The ‘Why I’m running?’ Starter Pack
Its not supposed to be easy.
While everyone else is comfy on their sofa after school/work peacefully, I’m out here:
-
Arguing with myself
-
Wondering why my knees ache
-
Drinking electrolytes like it’s a personality trait
-
Setting up the camera every 30 meters because I “need one more angle”
And people still ask me:
“Why do you run every day?”
Me: “You think I have a choice? haha”
Comment below:
Are you someone who likes to do stuff you never imagined yourself doing?
Filming Alone Should Be a Sport
Let me explain:
I’m running.. then sprinting BACKWARDS.. to pick up my dji.
Then sprinting FORWARD again to keep the pace.
That’s not cardio. That’s trauma with extra steps.
Plus the weather in Norway is like:
-
09:00 Sunny
-
09:02 Rain
-
09:03 “Surprise! WIND”
-
09:05 Seagull shit?? (real thing.. I have trauma): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD2Ao7fGpck
If you’ve ever tried to record in public with a tripod, tell me what it made you feel.
The Stories You Didn’t See
Ready to see what goes on when things don’t go as planned?
The Stories You Didn’t See
Marathons aren’t just running. It’s:
-
The guy who trained after his doctor told him not to (story for another time)
-
The guy running for his family
-
Strangers cheering like you’re bff’s.
-
Someone handing you water at the exact moment your soul leaves your body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S1LnEAt0uw
These moments make editing the video worth it.
(Okay maybe not when I have 300 clips and a Mac mini that acts like it wants to turn off. Apple products man. They should sponsor me.)
Why I Share This
I want my channel to always feel like we’re doing this together
the challenges, the travel, the daily, the “what am I even doing?” moments.
And if you’re chasing goals, traveling, or trying to build a creative life?
I hope my videos make you laugh, inspire you, or at least make you feel less alone in the overwhelming journey you set yourself out to.
