    Your description of walking to the start brought tears to my eyes. I totally get it and you are amazing.

    During my first marathon I said to myself....nope this is it . I just want to finish a marathon so I can say "I've run a marathon" . Took me 6hr 23 min to complete. ..not long after finishing I decided to sign up for another....(my mind forget torture easily I guess 😆) ...so 10 months later I ran my 2nd marathon 5hrs 30min . It's an awesome feeling crossing that finish line! All the work that leads up to it.. you are right. YOU ARE ALREADY A WINNER AT THE START LINE! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐

    • @lucyshawvlogs
      @lucyshawvlogs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You definitely must forget torture easy! Haha. I didn’t book my second one for months and months because of how hard it was. I’ve got marathon number 2 booked for October coming! I want a success story like yours 🙏🏻🙌🏼

    Thanks to the youtube algorithms for recommending this video to me.
    You are a star! Losing weight is difficult... and you are correct getting to the start line itself was a victory!
    Great running, you did so well.
    The imposter syndrome - I'm 64 years old and I have that feeling even now when I'm with 'adults' 🤠!
    Remember! You get the hang of marathons after the first 20 or so 🤔!
    I cried after my first marathon - I was 53 years old.
    I'm just starting to try and vlog a few runs. I've bought an insta360 go2 - tiny and easy to use!

    • @lucyshawvlogs
      @lucyshawvlogs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! I guess I’ll have to get used the imposter syndrome then 😂🙌🏼 Oh my goodness, 20+ marathons to get the hang of it! 😩 That’s amazing, so glad not to be the only crier lol. That sounds perfect, I struggle with filming during a run.

  • @Nayz13
    @Nayz13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Your videos are as much, if not more of an inspiration as all of the elite ultra runners I follow. I think it takes much more gumption to have started where you did than for someone who has always been a runner, or never had any weight or health issues. Big kudos to you.

  • @jeffwickermusic134

    Congratulations on completing your Marathon and receiving your beautiful medal!
    I really enjoy and am inspired by your videos. Thank you so much for making them.
    You are absolutely right about standing in line at the start line. The simple fact that you are there makes you a winner! Completing or not, does not change that!
    I did my first Marathon 2 weeks ago. There were 6 cut off check points. I missed the third check point by 10 minutes and they wouldn’t let me proceed and directed me to the finish line. I’d already gone over 17 miles. They offered the 26.2 medal but I refused it because I had not earned it.
    I was really upset at first but then I started thinking like you were at the start line. I made it out there and gave it all I had when so many others didn’t even try. That’s a winner!
    I did receive the 13.1 medal because I had definitely earned that. I had also learned so much from doing the Marathon. It was one of the greatest days of my life. I now consider myself an experienced Marathoner, I’m no longer a newbie!
    I immediately signed up for the next Marathon and two 10k’s prior to the Marathon.
    I’ve lost 125 lbs in the last 3 years and have 40 more lbs to go, which I will make it my mission to lose before the next Marathon.
    I will run and “complete” the next 26.2 Marathon! I will have that 26.2 medal just like you! 😎👍

    • @lucyshawvlogs
      @lucyshawvlogs  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have EVERY faith in you! Experience can only help and it sounds like you are going to use it positively, which is awesome! You WILL have that medal and it will feel even more amazing after what you went through :) Also, wow on your weight loss that is amazing!!

    So relatable! Found your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching 😂 I’m doing my first marathon in 11 days so that was a great video to inspire me! 👌🏻 I can’t wait to cross the finish line but now I’m also going to take a second at the start line to be proud of just getting that far.

  • @Tjenaralex

    I'm about to run my first 5K in like 2 weeks and I already feel this imposter syndrome thingy 😅 I'm overweight and out of shape but I'm pushing myself for so many reasons. You are amazing and I'm so impressed by your story 🙌

  • @Jaigarful
    @Jaigarful 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There's actually a marathon strategy of run walking that works well for a lot of people. There's no shame at all in walking and timewise, some people actually do better with that method.

  • @burn_that_butter6829
    @burn_that_butter6829 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    had you run any other races before the marathon?
    I had done a few 10ks and a half marathon before my first marathon. But yeah, being in the starting corrals is so spine tingling and exciting. I broke down and cried ugly like a baby at the end of my first half and when people were staring at me (or so I thought) I said out loud, "I've lost 60 pounds and now I just ran 13.1miles!!!!" It was incredible... and i get it on every level all of what you said
    YAY for you!!!

    • @lucyshawvlogs
      @lucyshawvlogs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The only other races I had done before was 2 10k races. I skipped the half and went straight for the marathon 😂 Although I did run a couple halfs on my own in training. I always ugly cry when I’ve had a running achievement, so I’m with you there!! 🙌🏼 It makes me smile just thinking about how amazing that moment must have been for you! 🏃🏻‍♀️

  • @ollie1317
    @ollie1317 ปีที่แล้ว

    Stumbled across your channel tonight.I ran my local marathon in April and was pleased with myself to have done that from not being able to run 100metres to that that in 28 months,to do it 10 months quicker is insane, well done.

    I got into running during 2020 too! had my first marathon late last year. Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment doing the marathon from where you started, so so can relate to the disbelief/imposter syndrome/excitement/anxiety/all of the above that happens leading up to the start line. You feel like everyone has a.roledex of everything they need to do and specific training area and all that and you're just sat there completely doubting all you did to prepare. Just subbed, happy to see you're still at it!

    Well you have just inspired me to enter a marathon! I’m doing a half marathon next weekend very unfit but I can definitely walk that far if needed 😂
    You are right, just having the courage to get to the start line , you definitely have already won ! In the past I’ve always gotten emotional when I start and finish. The spectators always are so encouraging and you feel like you are at the Olympics ! 🏅 😊

    Have found you! I have just started running for the first time in my life. I'm a 44 year old Mum and I PLOD. I mean, I went right to the start to watch your journey and watched all of your progress to this point. I can't tell you how emotional this video made me, and how much I giggled too!
    Well done, you are a massive inspiration... thank you so telling it like it is!
    Right... I'm off to carry on watching!

    • @joannemarkov
      @joannemarkov ปีที่แล้ว

      I just turned 43, and I decided to double down on the idea by buying a ton of "Sloth Running Team" merch, including a virtual race and medal, a mug, some stickers, a shirt and a sweatshirt, etc. That, in combination with the hundreds of videos I've watched on Zone 2 training, and Coach Bennett from the Nike Run Club constantly being in my ear about running EASY!, has helped me get moving and keep moving.

  • @meensbeans_

    You started this video saying "Wednesday 10th Feb" and that's my birthday! Good sign for me to keep watching to the end! Incredibly inspired by you and your runs Lucy. Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm working towards my first half and I am so nervous. I keep watching your videos to stay inspired and disciplined with my training. You are so relatable and real. Thank you Lucy x

    I cant think of the last time I commented on a youtube video - maybe never. I really want to thank you for this. I'm running my first 5k in just a couple of days, and I'm 30 lbs lighter from where I started. I appreciate your honest retelling of the journey of this marathon. It makes me feel like maybe I could work up to one too. You wanted to reach someone in a similar situation with your youtube channel? Youve done it. Thank you.

    Getting to the START LINE IS LIFE …… totally and utterly understand what u mean …… It maybe the start of the marathon but it also marks the end of all the hard work you’ve done in order to get to the start …… it’s a v proud moment like you say pretty much on a par with actually finishing the bloody thing !! huge congratulations lucy ….. I would say what’s next but I already know as I started watching ur vlogs backwards 😅😅 xx

  • @bernardthegwp71020
    @bernardthegwp71020 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well done indeed.
    I much prefer watching complete amaturs running in their first marathon than the elite runners videos, you get much more of a feel for what it really is like with all the honest feedback, the pain, agony and the unbridled joy at completing.
    Well done.

    Your video is a savior
    I am super emotional now.
    I use to look for women runners who are like me & was not into any physical activity & have started from "zero"
    Your content is relatable & super inspiring.
    I have just enrolled for "5miles" run & its next month.
    Wish me luck

Have signed up for the London marathon ballot (slim chance ik) and am now thinking about other full marathons altho ultras seem more appealing xx

    Sorry if this question has already been asked before, but how often do you train? Do you run every day or every other day? I’m a beginner runner training for a 5K. Just wondering how often I should be training to make progress. And congrats on all your progress 👍🏼☺️ Awesome!!

    I have ran 3 marathons and 9 ultra marathons including a 50 miler in which i was first in my age group to finish and I felt imposter syndrome at the beginning and end of absolutely each of them 😂

    Hi Lucy, love the video and the biggest congratulations for competing the marathon👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I was wonderinf if you’d be so kind as ro do a video about your whole running journey? As in where you started, how long it took you to get to 5k, then 10k, half marathon and what exactly you did. I’m at the very start of my journey and it’s so hard to find relatable content as everywhere is just thin runners talking about their training plans or like tips for overweight runners but your story is so inspiring and I could use a bit of this motivation as it currently feels like I’m never going to get there.. anyways - no worries if you don’t fancy doing it, you’re still 100% awsome and thank you for your videos❤️

    • @lucyshawvlogs
      @lucyshawvlogs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much! I would love to make that video and go through everything from start to marathon. I haven’t so far because I worry it would be too long. But it may something I could do over a couple videos! I know how you feel, I truly do. That’s exactly why I wanted to make these videos because I struggled to find the relatable stuff. You’ll get there, just don’t give up on yourself!! You deserve it! ❤️

    That's how I'm feeling today. It's the first "race day" of my life. I have no clue what I'm doing, at this point all I want to do is get to the finish line somehow. I feel like all my plans were great, but right now I don't remember any of them...guess I'll just run. 😁🤣

    Hi
    I’ve got the London marathon in October ! I’ve lost over 45 pounds
    Still scared of my first marathon
    Any tips as I’ve got bra chaffing issues

    • @lucyshawvlogs
      @lucyshawvlogs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s amazing! Well done 🙌🏼 Oh no, i’ve been there I know how horrible the chaffing can be. My best advise is to get a proper fitting sports bra, that’s what helped me. I have bra that’s a bit too big for me and I just can’t run in it because I get very sore. Take some Vaseline for the race too and keep applying it through out the run. All the best for your first marathon!! I’m sure you will smash it!

    • @lucyshawvlogs
      @lucyshawvlogs  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s awesome! I was aiming for 6 hours but I did it in 5 and a half 🙌🏼 You’ll know what pace feels comfortable as you train, don’t worry about a time if you’re not sure. Some people just want to finish it 🏃🏻‍♀️
