All the best for the marathon, stick to your plan, do not make any silly last-minute changes.

I've run a dozen marathons. Pancakes are great before a long run!

I’m so happy to find your account! I’m going to follow you on insta and can’t wait to see more of your journey :) you’re inspiring me to pick up TH-cam again

Great job! Have fun with the marathon :)))

Hell yeah! Congrats on the PR!

You're a runner, you might be slow, you might be fast but you put running shoes on and go for a run. Humans have two gaits - walk and run. Ignore Wikipedia, it's fundamentally incorrect from a physiological perspective. My wife's just as much a runner as me despite there being an close to an hour between our respective HM PBs. I really dislike people who judge others based on pace.

Lots of people do the run walk run walk technique also at the marathon. No shame of walking 😊

At least you are doing it.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good luck.. what's the worst that could happen :) Just subscribed.. this should be entertaining !

You bought your fiancé the Tim Henson acoustic guitar from Ibanez, that's so cool! Wish you luck on achieving your goals. Also same for the sketchbook one.

man how do I find a female like this lol I jus want a nice girl I’m about to start going to church

You're still a runner even if you jog or take walk breaks. 😎 You were doing a half marathon. What did he just expect you to keep Eliud kipchoge's pace the entire time. Lol

Ok, you're worse than my new running buddy she signed up for a marathon with 16 weeks including Xmas holidays (so zero training). She once ran a half back in 2019 so nearly 6 years ago and was definitely not fast. But to give you an insight into her mentality, last November she'd signed up to compete in a Hyrox pairs event unfortunately her partner had to drop out will the lame excuse of being heavily pregnant. Rather than dropping out (as it was days before her 50th birthday) she convinced me to take their place 5 weeks before, foolishly I hadn't Googled what a Hyrox event was. Silly me. We only had time two training sessions prior to the event and honestly we were just hoping to finish. Now, how does this link to the marathon? Well I'm a bit of a runner not a gym goer hence I'm dragging her around as doing a sub 2 hour half is nothing for me. In the last 3 weeks she's gone from struggling with a 5k run under 30 minutes to we did 15km in 1:44:29. I expect by the end of January will be closer to 1:30 and we'll starting on basing longer runs on time rather than distance. She knows now it's gonna hurt but like embedded RTOS it's balancing power and process efficiency, she needs to understand what 4 hours of running feels like. Back to the Hyrox story, as both of us are over 50 and had very little training were fully expecting to be last or not finish within the time limit therefore knew it was a matter of balanced effort. We played to strengths; I did the bulk of the endurance work and she did the movement tasks. We were the last to complete the event which spurred us on to nearly sprint the last 1km, leaving everything out there. Everyone cheering really helped , we felt so tired but so happy we'd finished. Only when someone reminded us it was a wave start it dawned us, we didn't just manage to finish we'd actually over taken several of the younger competitors that had gone out to hard and struggled over the line. The lesson is; understand what you are about to do, prepare the best you can and remember to run your own race at your own pace.

Got burned out.

Well you've got 1 more subscriber :D lol

Best advice I've received and keep sharing with others is. Don't run the first half like an idiot and don't run the second half like a coward.

Another TH-cam video by someone with no respect for the marathon.

I would buy that hat if you make it !!! Lol just found your channel, love your sense of humor and positivity. Subbed!!

4 weeks! Damn,I just signed up to my first one in like 10 months and Im nervous haha. So goodluck with the training and hope everything goes injury free until then. 🙌

Need to strengthen hip flexors and glute medius and glutes to helps with hip pain!

Jeah i believe in you. And it is the attempt that counts. My motto is: slow and steady wins the race. i did a marathon last year in 5 hours without being as consistent as I wished for in the preparation 😅

good luck soldier, don't risk injury

I would die if i tried this

guess im sticking around for a journey or an adhd trip

I’m a new runner about to start training for my first marathon. Strength Training will help your hips! (Clamshells and side leg raises) Good luck!

This is so real lmfaooo. I've been participating in a marathon training program at school for the past two years. (Last year I didn’t get to because of my age.) Previously, my focus was solely on competing with others and trying to be the fastest, which only led to burnout, feelings of guilt, and a serious injury. I never enjoyed running and maintained a 15-minute pace. However, this year, my perspective shifted; I began to prioritize the enjoyment of running and building endurance after recovering from my injury. I found myself feeling relaxed and actually wanted my runs to last longer, which was a refreshing change. Surprisingly, this new approach has made me faster, and I'm now averaging a 12-13 minute pace. I no longer care if others view that as slow; my goal is simply to complete the marathon without exploding.

Please share the routine! This is also one of my goals

I'm doing something similar to this. the stay flexi guy has a really good protocol to improve splits I'm going to try his I'm solidarity. His advice is to sit on something higher a foot off the ground/chest up and back straight then descend slow till you feel the tightness. 3 sets of 5 twice a week. I'll check back if this works hope it helps❤

Movement by David has a tutorial on his channel. We’re all getting the splits in 2025 fs

Girl message me will keep eachother in check, I want to aswell so badly 😂 you need to tell me what exercises your doing because ur about the same as me with how far down you got

Inspire me pls

I feel that!!! It just getting pushed to the next years goals 😭

I got the middle yesterday

So proud of you!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I will be following this journey so keep us updated!

I’m also trying to get the splits (hopefully at least one by end of month 👀)

What’s the routine 😢

I got my splits in on week, if you need I can make a video of my stretch routine ❤

My pace is like 15 min/mile! 😢😂 I do feel weird saying I “run”. But who knew I legitimately am too slow to be called a runner! Keep it up! 🎉

Girl, you are one of 2 super big inspirations I got today that made me believe I can reach my goals <3 Im in the middle of making my 25 goals for 2025 list ^^ your video is very inspiring

Finally TH-cam algorithm bringing me the good stuff! Love this! and you have inspired me to write down my own goals.

What a cool concept!!! Got me inspired to do my own list. Hopefully, we stick with our goals for the next year! Rooting for ya!!!!

My goals are similar to yours! I want to see abs, and get all the splits. I'm not a runner tho LOL. I wish I had the confidence to vlog but I hate seeing myself speak to a camera so that's an unrealistic goal for me. I also want to read more books next year! Let's do this!

Is it just me or have I seen you somewhere

Whaaat! Second comment of the day - I also got into Chicago through a charity! It’ll be my first marathon!

So glad the algorithm suggested your video - love everything about this. Apparently I’m also a jogger, and proud of it - but would LOVE to improve my pace. Following your journey!

Omg wait this is fun!! Oooh maybe I’ll make a goals video. I’m just bad at thinking ahead and also making concrete goals 😂 but this would be a good way to peer pressure myself into doing more things😅

you might have convinced me to start vlogging…..my boyfriend bought me a very nice vlogging camera & i am nervous to be on camera and look silly!!! any tips? 🥲 trying to defeat the cringe/leave it in 2024 but it’s hard 😮‍💨

Funny enough- ur vlogs have inspired me to start vlogging! I just haven’t actually done it yet lmao 🫢
