My first half marathon was the best day of my life so far, I still look back at it with joy. I ran it on my 22nd birthday! Best birthday EVER - I can’t even explain how strong and amazing I felt and I hope you feel that way too!
this is so cute!! on your BDAY!! ahh! you’re amazing!!
Me too! I did it in November of 2020 for my 24th birthday! And this year I want to do a full 26 miles for my 26th birthday! Best day ever because of how proud I was after month of training and dedication for ME ❤️
@@juliannaperez1311 My birthday’s in november too! I did mine in 2019:)
Ah, congrats! I did the Boston half marathon the day before my 31st last year. :) It’s so freeing to feel like our bodies can do it all, especially on birthdays!
I’m only like 10 minutes into the video - but I wanted to say the mental prep is honestly just as important as a training plan! Sounds corny but visualizing yourself DOING the half and especially crossing the finish line is key. I did an Ironman in May and you just have to convince yourself / picture that you will finish!
I'm not quite old enough to do an ironman yet, but as soon as I'm old enough I am going to do one! Do you have any other tips on terms of training/in general?
I followed Jeff Galloway for my half marathon training and his app is awesome. It changes your music to the correct bpm for the pace. He also has a full marathon program which is next on my list 🤞🏻
Run with Hal is an amazing free app that I used to train for my half marathon last year, no audio training but something about logging in details post run and having Hal “tell” you how you did is really motivating!
The one thing I’ve learned from running is that it is a personal sport. The only person you’re competing against is yourself. You’re constantly playing the mental game with yourself to keep you going. I absolutely love running and I’m currently training for all 3 Disney Princess races in February. Thank you for sharing, Taylor!!
I love that this coensides with my life. I’m not doing a half marathon (although someday I might) but I am doing a virtual 5k on my birthday in 6 weeks after being a non runner and I think your videos will give me the motivation I need
One of my 2022 goals is to run a half marathon, so i can’t wait to see more of your half marathon journey! Happy Running!
You can do this! I did a marathon in November with little to no training 😬 would not recommend but it definitely showed me what my body was capable of
I am SO glad this video was in my recommended feed! I literally just signed up for my first half marathon, which is in 7 weeks *gulp*! Excited but also super nervous. I’m looking forward to following along with you on this adventure.
I am so proud of you Taylor I am sitting here watching your video and it came to me how much you have grown As a person and TH-camr you have become so positive and motivating for all your subscribers keep up the great work girl
I’m running a half in 11 weeks (I’m a VERY slow runner) and I’ve been so nervous! I feel major imposter syndrome. But watching this video has really helped me realize that this is all for fun and it’s really just my mind that’s the biggest hurdle. Thank you for the inspiration 🙌
Thank you for mentioning you were fitted at the running store for shoes because so many people just randomly choose shoes without getting fitted and the right shoes for YOUR feet are SO important! I have some good shoes and yet they killed my toes when I ran and then I got fitted and my feet are so happy now!! I wanted to run a marathon after I saw “Brittany runs a marathon” but I am not a runner but I started doing 5K and that is perfect for me. Good luck on your marathon, I know you are gonna kick butt!
Although I'm 15, I've had my fair share of races. The race atmosphere is like nothing else. It is incredible, and the adrenaline when the gun goes off, the cheering of the crowds throughout the race, and the final kick to the finish line cannot be matched. And watching other racers after you've finished, cheering them on is the best feeling ever!!
Yes. THIS! I am 40 and was doing 5ks and other shorter races in high school with my dad. You're so right, it's the energy and other runners that make is SO amazing and keep you going! The running community is awesome.
@@JenniferAntolik Yes, it is truly a community like no other! Plus the swag and medals are nice haha!!
you’re making me so excited !!!😭😭
It’s like you’re IN MY MIND!!! I just posted a half marathon video yesterday and I’ve got a 28k trail run tomorrow morning! 😱 you’ve got this queen!
Yay!!!! I’ve been running half marathons since 2016 and have my next one at the end of February! I run intervals even on race day so I’m pretty slow but I’m actually even slower when I try to run straight through so it works for me. At the races I run there are definitely people who walk the whole time and manage to keep up the minimum pace which, in my opinion, is pretty dang impressive! I could never walk 13.1 miles that fast, I have to run!
your the most positive thing in my life rn lol! love you so much:) i’m a runner and love to see other people find their love in it 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so excited to see more! Running a half marathon and full marathon is on my bucket list, I needed this motivation!
you GOT THIS ALYSSA!!!
You can do it!! Run in all weather conditions because you never know what it will be like on race day.
I’ve run 87 half marathons - they’re my favorite distance! Running long distances is all about learning what your body likes and doesn’t like. I would suggest no coffee right before a long run, you’ll need to find a bathroom very quickly if you drink that. Also, if you have a sensitive stomach like I do, Imodium will be your best friend!
I’m just starting out running. I joined a local woman’s beginners running club and I’m loving it. It’s doing wonders for my mental health. I’ve even signed up for my first 5k - race for life a charity event for cancer. Best of luck with your half marathon training x
That's so exciting!
I also registered for a half marathon last year, but it got canceled because of covid. So I registered this year again (in april) and I really hope it will happen this time around. I'm looking forward to your training updates since I'm basically training alongside. I also really want to try a guided run now!
Woo hoo, you've got this! Three things:
1. All- weather running shoes are great to have on hand for actual damp days (bonus: layer a pair of windproof pants over your leggings)
2. 500 mile max on the shoes, but go a little less while you're training. New pair now, and a backup pair to pull out for that new shoe extra bounce in case you hit a slump.
3. Most of the long-term marathoners rotate their shoes. You're young, so your body might not complain, but be ready if it does! If I feel the miles in my feet, I go higher on the drop, if it's in my knees, I go lower.
Highly recommend a combo wool/cotton running socks, leaning more on the wool side, especially in WA weather. I live in WA too and on a run last year in low-40’s weather, I lost feeling in my toes because they were so cold. Your feet will thank you for it.
Girl!! I’m running my first half marathon this summer too! Good luck! I’ll be cheering you on from the interweb sidelines! 😊
My goal this year is to run a marathon so I'm in the middle of training as well!! And everything you talked about I related to so much!
This video came at the perfect time! Recently learned about a marathon in my city and would love to start training for it. I like NRC and think the guided runs would be great for my first race.
that’s such a good goal!! i think you absolutely should!
I LOVEEEE the Nike Running app. I’m a terrible runner, but I want to run a marathon this year, so I started the marathon program from the beginning with no real date in place. I can definitely see how it would be more challenging to just jump into, say, week five versus week one, because they do really talk you through what your 10k/5k pace should feel like on those initial runs. Either way, so excited to watch your journey!
Yay for going half crazy! I’m on half marathon training again also. Hoping to get three races in this year! 😅 I’ll start by saying it’s definitely putting all your fitness and nutrition science to work! I never knew how much my body loved and needed carbs until I started running more seriously. My favorite pre-run meals are always yogurt bowls with fruit and granola or banana oatmeal, usually 1 hour to 1.5 hours before hand if I’m running longer than 4 miles. Start researching running accessories that will work best for you too, especially as runs get longer. You’ll eventually need to hydrate during long runs and there’s lots of options on how to do this. I personally hate carrying a water bottle so a water pouch that fits in a pocket or belt or even a Camelbak work better for me. As far as hair, I like a high pony and then I braid the loose hair so it’s not flying all over the place. You mentioned running for an hour, a half marathon will take you 2-3 hours so try to mentally prepare for that one! There’s loads more I could add, but just as you have been doing, keep researching! You’ll find what works best for your body and create a pattern of it. As you get closer to race day you don’t want to try new things before runs, familiar is very safe with running! Enjoy the process! I’m excited to watch your journey!!! Best of luck ❤️
your videos litterally make my day after I've been stressed out!!
Me too!
I ran a half marathon a few years ago and SWORE BY 2 x peanut butter and banana on toast about an hour before my longer runs!! Can’t wait for more half marathon vids gal, all the best! You’ve inspired me to enter and train for another race xoxo
yes!!! hahaahah it’s the best snack!! i’m so excited for you!!
I’m using the NRC app for my half training too! I’ve been doing it since the very beginning and I’m on eight weeks to go as well! My race day is in May, but I’ll have a fun practice half marathon race once the training is over. We got this!
I am so excited that you are doing a Half! I’ve run a few and am in training for another one in March (on my birthday! 😜) I think you will absolutely love the atmosphere and experience of running a race. Everyone in the races I’ve done have been so kind- especially when I’ve traveled for a race and talk to a local. And people run in costumes! That’s always so fun!
The fact you made this video right after I worked at a marathon recently and decided I wanted to start running is a sign for me! I’m wanting to do a 5k and a 10k before a half marathon but I really want to do a half marathon before the next year. I’m so excited to see your journey!!
I love the Runkeeper app by ASICS personally! You have to pay to use the training plan features but it’s so worth it! I’m training for my first half as well and it’s been great so far. I also feel you on the whole “getting ready to run and stalling as long as possible” moment haha! It’s sooo hard in the winter or bad weather to just get out there and do it. But We got this girl!! 💕
Feeling so inspired!! I want to join you on this journey going to look for one myself but a bit further out so I have more time to get prepared as I’m not a great runner! Keep going girl 🏃♀️
I know you can definitely do it. You've always love running and I feel like this is going to be something life changing, in a positive way for you. I'm extremely proud of you for registering and for already starting. I hope you had an amazing day!
I used to run as well, but just for fun nothing serious like actual marathon, seeing your video and dedication really encourages me to start running again cuz I get lazy and procrastinate when it comes to cardio lol. you can do it, we believe in you!!
Seeing you on my feed makes my day!! All the best for your training!
Also I hope you can start uploading pods again.
Let's get this untwisted baby🌟!!!
love you so much 🥺🥺🥺☹️
First timer in committing to a Half Marathon and I appreciate your videos so much! Thank you for keeping it real, you have inspired me to continue on this new journey!
How exciting! I’m also wanting to run a half marathon this year. Mine isn’t for a while, so I have lots of time to train, but I’ve been using Map My Run for their plans and they have a really good way of breaking down the different runs so you’re not jumping in at such a high distance. Might be worth checking out! Best of luck to you. Super excited to follow your journey along the way!
I hope to run my first half Marathon race. I'm running for fun. I use to run a half marathon every month until I broke my ankle. I haven't run it in awhile, I may run it tomorrow as I am too shattered for it today.
You can run a lot further than you think. Find a mantra that helps you. Mine are lungs of easy breathing and legs of steels, I know steel is contradictory, but it works for me. I also think of women runners that inspire me, Fiona Oakes and Courtney Dauwalter. I also remind myself my body will try to stop me at points, it's my job to tell to it that I can do it.
I got this advice from a running coach. If you are having trouble with your legs, stop and do 10 legs swings (5/side) and 10 squats. It really does help refresh the legs then carry on running.
Honestly such an inspiring video, it raw, it’s realistic and it shows a real person trying something new. I love it! Def inspired to run more now!
theresa you’re the sweetest! thank you so much! it is going to be so fun 🥺🥺
Ohmigosh love your videos! I finally hit my weight loss goal after losing 150 lbs and I was lost for months I finally restarted my journey and am being really fitness and goal focused so I love seeing how amazing and productive you are and even show your downfalls and ugh your awesome
Best of luck!! Currently prepping for a half marathon too. The best feeling is crossing the line and knowing that you just did it.
I needed to watch this video. My half marathon is 7/8 weeks out so this gives me hope. 🎉
*welp here we go!* love the optimism and personality!
taylor u and ur energy and ur motivation but reality is amazing i locw u sm akso broma is incredible
I love doing flipped up French braids! I do two French braids, secure them, and take another ponytail and make little bobbles with the braid! I’m going on a run today, you’ve inspired me to get back into some light cardio.
oh how CUTE! that sounds so cute and secure! i need to learn!!
All the freaking places you move to while talking us through this. You are getting good as hell. Plus obviously entertaining. I feel like we are friends, haha. keep us updated with your NASM certification in a video please!!
The wind on your run has me cracking up over here! It sounded and look SO brutal! Kudos to you! You got this!
it was SO MUCH HAHAHAAH
You're so motivated and I know you're going to do amazing in the marathon ✨ 💛
The NRC program is great!! I used it for my first half marathon and had no problem. The only thing is that it's a little bit tough on the schedule if you want to do other types of training
I just ran a half marathon this morning! Just go slow! Don't feel pressure to go fast because you'll burn yourself out. Also today I realized that fueling yourself during the run is sooooo important. It CHANGES the game.
Also, for my training regiment, I only did two runs a week. Every week I would add a mile onto one run and remove a mile from the other. For example, one week I would run 7 miles one day and 6 miles another, the next week I would run 8 miles one day and 5 miles the other etc until I ran 13 miles in one day. I did this on top of my strength training, where I reduced the volume on my leg days.
I'm following the same nike training plan, but I'm doing the full 14 weeks. I'm two weeks into it and it's been really helpful for teaching me about my different paces and being prepared for the run I'm about to go on.
yes!! oh my gosh i had no idea. i would just have gone into the race like “hope this works!”
taylor you are always looking so ripped but your biceps look amazing. i would not want to get into a fight with you lol. anyways, running a marathon or half marathon is a very mentally, emotionally, and physically draining event. all you need is dedication and some hard work. you prove time and time again that you have the motivation and willpower to challenge yourself like this! i believe in you! kick ass!
You inspire me so much!! So excited to follow your journey!!
Omg I’m doing a half marathon this year too!!! A year ago I couldn’t even run one mile without stopping to have an asthma attack. Good luck in your training!!
Try a french braid, its a bit tricky to learn but for me it secures everything.
Yas yas yas! Cardio queen :) running a half marathon is mental toughness & it is an amazing feeling once you complete your first half marathon! I loved the experience of pushijg myself, becoming an athlete, and then crossing the finish! Good luck to you & I hope you enjoy the journey :)
Ps also i used NRC for the half marathon training & it was fantastic so I hope you also enjoy using nrc :)
I'm so excited for you! Your have me considering giving it a try this year, it sounds like fun! 😄
I ran my first 5k (on a treadmil, but still!) yesterday! I was thinking, I need some type of schedule to stick to too. Espcially since I still want to weight lift. I'm just not sure how to balance lifting and running.
I’m sure there are apps out there that have a plan on how to incorporate strength training with running. I would even check out Runners World. Trust me when I say you will want to do strength training with running. You will be setting yourself up for injury if you just run.
OMG I joined the half marathon on May 1!!! OMG! I'm currently training it as well. I gotta need to look into the food portion as well. But how are you balancing with your gym session?
I’m starting a training program right now for my second half marathon and this is so encouraging!
Also - second comment - I really recommend the Fitbit Versa if you ever have some money to waste on a smart watch! I returned my Apple Watch for the same reason - I am just not the kind of girly who will remember to charge a watch every day. The Versa has a 7 day battery life though, so I just keep the charger in my bathroom and charge it once a week on my pamper day while I’m shaving or something.
i have completed 4 official half marathons. another one in march, but it's hard to train after c-disease. good luck!!!
OMG I’m literally running a half marathon so this couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m so excited!!
I’m also not going for a certain time.
- [ ] Practice the Breakfast that you are going to eat before the race during training. Sometimes things you are used to eat can upset you stomach if you run after.
- [ ] You don’t have to run 21k in training before your race. Maybe go up to 13-15k
- [ ] Invest in a good running jacket for the winter. Cover your extremities (gloves, beanie, socks).
- [ ] Good running socks are essentials
- [ ] Nothing new on race day (nutrition, outfit, pace …)
- [ ] Nutrition during the run : consider carrying water with electrolytes and some food to fuel your running during run longer than 60 min
- [ ] Training in any weather makes you more confident for the weather during the race. If you can run under the rain you can do anything !!!!
- [ ] Progress takes time ! So much time. I suggest to new runners to start by doing a run walk method (there are plans on internet) or after a long break from running (2 weeks or more). Then increase your running slowly (there are methods on internet like the 10% rule) and don’t add distance and intensity at the same time (speed workout). For exemple if you run 20k a week for 4 week you can change one run for a speed run say 5k. But if your add 5k, they have to be slow. Then after a few weeks at 25-30k you can add intensity again.
Good luck Taylor 👍👍
thank you SO much!! i screenshotted this to look back on for some reference :) i really appreciate the time you took writing this!
@@TaylorWoods no problem. When I started running 3 years ago I made so many mistakes and I would have loved some advices. Running is great 😊
Happy TGIF weekend, Taylor W.!😊😊🌸🌸❤️❤️
Can’t wait to see the process! Maybe it will encourage me to do a half marathon too! I always put runners in a high pedestal too, so I totally understand what you mean.
Basically before running just eat something carby that sits well in your stomach and practice different snakies and timing. I’m a nut butter on toast kinda gal with some banana slices if I’m feeling extra
Love this journey for you girl!!
Honestly I can’t recommend Strava enough for running . I used hannah Ann from the bachelor training program. And now I’m training for a full! GOODLUCK
i do have strava! it does also confuse me lol any tips would be great
run a virtual Disney marathon they are the best and on your own pace
Happy Friday Taylor and I absolutely loved your vlogs gurl because you are sweetheart and you are amazing vibe I'm proud of you gurl and I always umm enjoy your channel because you are amazing Supporter
So proud of you girl!
I did a half marathon in 2019. I used couch to 5k, then 5k to 10k. Then the Nike run club from 10K to marathon. I'd never really run before and I finished the half ran the whole way. Lost 2 toenails but it was a great accomplishment. Would recommend them all.
Okay so as someone who is a COMPLETE CHAOS runner (I am also slow, mostly because I run on a whim and have zero consistency with anything I do), I have completed 18 half marathons mostly untrained. My first one I completed after only ever having run up to two consecutive miles (I was also wearing brand new shoes and a tutu). All this to say, YOU CAN DO THIS.
oh my gosh! congratulations that’s amazing! i love the tutu energy lol THANK YOU
Girl, I looked at NRC for my training just now. Nope to starting at the 13.1 bc they have me running 3.1 at the end of my first week. Then I looked at 5k training, also nope not ready for that level either. I was like, “I guess I’m beginner.” Also nope bc it has the first run for 20mins. WTH! I’m going to stick to my C25K for now. I may use it when I get to the 13.1 training.
Omg yes girl! I have been trying to run a half a marathon but I don’t know how to start . 👏🏻
I really recommend the book Run Better by Jean-Francois Harvey : it has programs, running form tips, workouts to boost your performance and also a guide of the most common runners injuries. I’m currently following the half marathon program 16 weeks. I do three runs - two days recovery (cross training or walking) and two days strength training. The first long run was 45 min. which was really doable for me (my longest run in my life was 12k) Anyways goodluck! I should be running the half marathon on may 1st !
Just have fun with it! After this then the full marathon 😎
Girl you can do it!!!
the chocolate milk thing brought me back! at my high school, they sold subscriptions to chocolate milk so there was always chocolate milk for you in the fridge in the weight room lol
subscriptions!! hahahaha yes the weight room!!
I just signed up for my first marathon and I'm very nervous! Looking forward to this journey as fellow runners :)
oh my GOODNESS YOU GOT THIS HAAHAH
Aren’t you supposed to keep hemp hearts in the fridge once they’re open ?
me screaming inside while Taylor casually gets ready: GET OUT THE DOOR SISTER LIMITED TIME IN A 4 LETS GOOOO 😂
LITERALLY IT WAS A 4 BACK TO A 1
I think you would’ve really like Hal Higdon’s training programs! They are good to meet you where you’re at. And very very detailed!
Go Taylor! 🥳🥳🥳
Weenie hut Jr 😂 you look like a queen as always!
I liked your determination. You inspire
I just realized that you could POSSIBLY be running the same half marathon as me based on the timeline you mentioned since I'm not far from you. Following along!
My friend and i are planning a 30 mile walk for charity in may. Debating turning it into half run half walk though after seeing how excited you are to run🤪
THIS IS MY 2022 GOAL TOO! Would’ve started this past week but I’m COVID+ from being in healthcare 💀💀💀
NEW VIDEO YAY!
I also registered for my first half marathon ! I’m excited to go to the together!
ahhh!! GO CAROLINE!!!
Go, Taylor, go!
thank you ellen!!!
I have a goal of once doing a marathon. But I'm overweight and I had a problem with my knee a few months ago. So I don't think it's very good idea to start running. Although I really would love to
I ran my first half in October. I loved it so much that I'm doing another one in March... And my weekly miles have only gone down this year 😂 good luck, it's great fun 😊
oh my gosh! i have a feeling i’m doing to do the same hahaah!
I believe Nick Bare of BPN has his run/workout plan and I think it's on the playbook app. Nick is very well known for his running. Also I would look at maybe checking out Dan Holguin aka rastarunner. He also has a run program. Another well known name is Chris Hinshaw.
Alright. This is my sign. I have been debating doing a 5K training program to get my time down, and to sign up for two 5Ks each month of the summer, and I am totally pumped now.👀
THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!
I’ve started using the NRC app and as it’s been a year since my last run I started with the recovery run. I probably did the recovery run and the next run twice before the first speed run. Needed to hype myself up first 🤣
