Everyone's here asking why she's crying but I'm here asking why I'm crying
same.
Same here
Hahahaha same here!!
Same here
lil' rika me too
me during the video: I want to run a marathon
*5 minutes after the video*
me: movie marathon let's go
Kylie Jimenez 😂😂😂
Kylie Jimenez you are my spirit animal
Kylie Jimenez that's from Thomas sanders
this comment made my day
Kylie Jimenez I was like “I wanna run a marathon!” And then I was like “Siri how many kilometres is a marathon” Siri said “ 41. Something kilometres” I was like ok maybe another time
y'all asking why shes crying? you have never had to push yourself to the point where everything breaks, but you still keep going
Ya kind of I've pushed myself to breaking point but I never emotionally broke I just kept going and didnt stop
@@robhasdriven895 Everyone is different so...
Fr though. Ya'll have no idea what it feels like to feel your body and legs crumbling and you're mental strength is hanging on by a thread. Your head is screaming at you to stop but you have to keep going. To have to keep going again and again.
If you don’t get it, you’ve never ran a marathon.
Totally get it when I did then ruck march to get my Air Assault wings for the army. My feet and back was wrecked but I got something that I had been wanting my whole career. Even us tough guys have those pride tears.🙂
Can we appreciate how badass her coach was. He was really invested in her performance.
To be fair, he was also most probably financially invested...
And? Lol
He was the only part I liked about this fake video.
@@ireallylikeshoes , Imbecile.
@@MrSupernova111 Fake?
I felt bad when she said her bikes got stolen. She bikes mostly, right? Those must have been pro bikes :(
Toph I think shes a professional cyclist too, so yeah, those bikes must have been really nice :(
Toph yup and there is a shop in LA which i bet is where she got them from, they go up to 2k dollars if not more sometimes
Fraxii I've seen bikes go for 2k at pro bike shops. I picked up one of the bikes and they weigh like nothing!! They must be so great to race with
Toph yeah I feel bad too:(
Toph same bro
Michelle is probably the toughest women on buzzfeed
KawaiiKitty Drawings when you aren't lgbt nor fat you don't have many choices to work at buzzfeed. You have to be a strong independent woman
ANtoine Nat have you not watched half of their videos??? Cause what are you even talking about....
KawaiiKitty Drawings I'm gunna have to agree seeing Michelle pass the finish line I actually cried it was a happy moment for her but I was so happy she didn't give up!!
Akshath Shetty Jordan didn't run a marathom
she cried like six times.
This lady is an athlete already. She was able to run the marathon in 3 hours?!
Exactly! I smell a rat.
@@Candiedcurlies35 She was a professional cyclist before this.
She definitely is. There's no way an ordinary person goes from not running to running 45-70 miles a week. There are elite runners that don't do more than 70 miles a week. That being said, her time was 3:30, not 3 hrs, and 3 hrs is a FAR cry from 3:30.
A dog did it in 1.30 hours
IKR my first marathon It took 6:00 hours she ran like 3 hours
I feel like she should have highlighted the fact that she partly did so well bc she’s an ex-pro cyclist. People might think it’s normal to be able to do this intensity this quickly, not realizing they will likely get hurt. It’s also not normal for most to be able to do such a fast time in their first marathon
Exactly. I was like wtf. I didnt know this before reading the comments and I was like the hell. Made me undermine my own efforts in running.
Agreed, can be very discouraging to new runners.
yeah. only 5 weeks and HM time 1,5 hours is already mindblowing for a full newbie
Knew there had to be some previous experience in something. Holy gosh. Under 4 hours in 10 weeks training.
The whole thing is staged for views and likes. Anyone who has ever ran a marathon will tell you that you don't go from couch potato to marathon runner in ten weeks with under 8 minute mile pace. Its not just strength and mental toughness. The bones and joints need time to strengthen before the body can push that hard and it takes time - lots of time. The only thing a rookie will accomplish doing this is a stress fracture and shin splints.
me : *walks up stairs*
me : *heavy breathing and sweating*
Stacy Davilmar I was rearranging my room yesterday and was acting like I just worked out for 5 hours😂
Stacy Davilmar I was rearranging my room yesterday and was acting like I just worked out for 5 hours😂
I used to climb 58 floors up by stairs (my apartment building has 29 floors with each floor seperated by 18 stairs) everyday which I slowly increased till i stopped on 174 floors. After a certain point, there were diminishing returns to going for more floors so I switched to going to the high intensity stuff in the gym.
Stacy Davilmar same............
Stacy
if your REALLY that out of shape your cutting your life span , at the very least your cutting your USEFUL life span (we can keep folks alive...but being on 20 grand of meds and unable to get off the pot isnt much fun...) I just had a scare with my blood sugar and abdominal fat...it really doesnt take much excercise to put years more movement in your life. :)
i struggle running a 5k...
Iam Work on that.
same
Iam I struggle to get out of bed
Mark dude that is incredibly sad ( it's no even 1 mile )
Iam i can't even run 1 k
Trainer: anybody can walk a 5k
Some people: *Nervous sweats*
Relatable
If you can’t WALK a 5k you gotta get out more 😩
my three year old daughter hikes 12k in heavy terrain. keep that in mind fatties.
@@noch21Gramm that's actually a lot for a three year old. damn.
@@noch21Gramm Cap
She's already fitter than 90% of people if she can jump straight in to 40 miles a week.... I got shin splints doing 10 miles a week... smh
Same king same
Do more focused stretches, but most importantly buy yourself a foam massage roller.. You can thank me later :-)
yeah no kidding i got shin splints too after just running like 2km a day
Shin splints are really easy to get and you kinda just have to deal with them. You can try methods but you’ll likely end up dealing with the pain
Shin splints are mostly caused by poor technique over striding,running way to far without any training and wearing cheap poorly fitted shoes
I trained for 10 weeks to run a 5K lmao
Everyone has a different ability level. I've ran 2 marathons with more training than the girl in this video and haven't managed a time even close to hers, she's just naturally a very good athlete! Be proud of your own achievements. :)
Who cares! At least your training...Rome wasn’t built in a day, your still doing more than most people so keep up the good effort and don’t be hard on yourself!
I did a 5k today and didn't train at all... Oops ahah
Clarinetgurl I’ve ran a 5K without any training (not very well)
Leah X the time is what matters though
I’ve run 2 marathons and I’d just like to say that her pace is freaking fast like I could NEVER
Right! I've been running for almost 2 years now and just recently started marathon training and getting ready to run a marathon, I estimate my pace will be like 9:30 per mile for a marathon. What was your pace?
Probably closer to 10 but around there
No offense to her, but I'm p sure she gets paid to do this and therefore has a lot of time to spare. She also has a private trainer planning everything else out for her.
She did Other sports besote, her body is in shape so is “easier”. I began to train 2 years ago and I am very slow, but my boyfriend did a lot of sports all his life and is very fast, he could do all faster and better... is the muscular memory and previous training
@@davideyaliscool it's still impressive
This video is extremely misleading. FYI She's a lifelong athlete. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go out and think that you can run 5 miles, let alone 45 in a week like she did if you don't have a high base level of fitness. You will get injured. Badly.
EXACTLY
Yes she is an athlete but plenty of people without training have run a marathon. Is it the best decision? No, training makes it safer and better but people have done it
@@Scurvywormstudios Unless you have good fitness there's zero chance the average person (even above average person) could even walk 26.2 miles let alone run it.
The people that do a marathon with zero training are usually already in ok shape and sometimes in phenomenal shape. Just because they didn't specifically train for endurance running doesn't mean that a lot of their prior training can't carry over. Most of the people in my small work group couldn't even run for a solid mile until they trained for few weeks. These weren't overweight people either, but they were pretty average levels of fitness. After 6 months or so they could easily do 10k races and probably at that point some of them may have been able to do a marathon on a whim. Even then that's unlikely.
As some who sucks at running, i can tell you without a doubt us beginners physically can’t run 5 miles without mainly walking, while we could injure ourselves we definitely aren’t signing up for a marathon lol, the only reason i could see for needing a disclaimer about her being an athlete is to not give people unrealistic expectations and the risk of overworking yourself.
I love how passionate the trainer is for her throughout the whole experience
He was like a mother hen it was so cute
She is an amazing woman. If she can do this i can loose a few fucking a pounds. What an inspiration.
TheForestFamily Wooooo go you!!
No pun intended
You literally just read my mind. 115% agree.
ikr same hahahah
TheForestFamily you can do it
I get why she's crying. Why am *I* crying?
Same
i can relate....like.....i'm just so proud :')
Same
Same!?
same here
Me as a cross country and track runner: running sucks I don’t know why people purposely bring pain to themselves
honestly so true running sucks but I still do it and train
@Gabriel Meireles dang i could never
I relate lol. I admire people that have fun running
I like the feeling afterwards. It feels a bit like an orgasm but much stronger. It sounds funny. But that's how it is. And sometimes while you're running you feel like you could run forever and you feel strong and happy. But unfortunately this didn't happen to me for a very long time.
@Gabriel Meireles thats crazy but I dont remember asking
Years ago, I watched this and cheered you on not knowing anything about running. Today, I'm 3 months away from my first marathon and crying with you. Even years later, I'm still so proud of you!
All the best for your marathon 👍😁
You've got this!!
I hope you had/have a great marathon! It's such an amazing experience.
How did it go
@@YuhHuhNuhUh Thanks for asking! It went so well, I made it through with just light soreness after. Which is crazy because I was told I would never be able to run it in the first place due to a heart condition. Officially a marathoner!
@@Jeswingify Damn! Congratulations!
I'm confused why they put her beginning measurements but not the ending ones.
SamRobinson probably weren't anything significant so they just left them out.
Kristin Howard I understand I was just interested in her immense progress
She shared them on her instagram:
Before: 129.2 LBS, 20% body fat
After: 122.2 LBS, 18% body fat
oh okay that makes sense sorry hehe
Well actually they were meant to be in the video, she only shared them since lots of people asked & she doesn't know why it wasn't in the video as far as I understood. :)
Now THIS is what type of videos Buzzfeed should be making right now.
DD Chen agreed
YES
Yes.
buzzfeed blue is their best channel by far
mosnaidei and boldly
literally how does she not have a stress fracture
Asking the same thing. Being in Cross Country and in Track (Long Distance-wise) shin splints and stress fractures were commonplace.
SaltyMeatballs sameeeeee
Her running stride is short and fast. I’m a very heavy and muscular and had to change my stride because I used to get shin splints all the time. Got a running coach and I was striding way too long causing more impact. I switched to “hamster wheel” strides and no more injuries.
@@motoknivesandgunsbyjt Halfway through my first marathon, I switched over to this style of running by default and it has helped so much. More of a hamster wheel shuffle. Less impact, less energy wasted.
@@motoknivesandgunsbyjt That's good to know, I just started running last week
Her: “I’m not a runner”
Proceeds to run 5 miles at an incredible pace her first day while I struggle to run two 8 min miles consecutively
*face palm*
She isn’t unfit lol. Whenever I want to run fast I have a Sapporo before and after a run
She used to be a pro cyclist so don’t feel too bad
When i was on a swim team a friend and i did a half triathlon with no additional training besides swim practice, it was miserable but doable
She ran the LA Marathon. Her bib number started with a letter, which means she had a qualifying time from a prior marathon. This entire story is fake.
@@jenniferslovejoy5420 letters are also used in events to notify people of runners with medical conditions
She ran five miles as a beginniner?? I just started, and I can barely run for three minutes straight 😩😩
Allison C she works out normally and is very fit :)
Allison C I started like that lol
But now i can run for 1 hour
ARHAM like... without stopping?
she's a cyclist so is used to doing steady cardio
Allison C literly meeeee
Makes me want to run a marathon even tho I won't 😂
Just don't try following this plan. It's ridiculous and only works for her because she was already a professional athlete going in. Pretty irresponsible video not stating that.
same
Cliff Torres Pro athlete? GAHAHAHAH no she just actually worked out and more for it than half the people here would
Yb.cass
Me trying to do a marathon
Expectation
I beat everyone or I do really good like her
Reality
We start I trip I break my leg and I fail
even tho i cant
for all the people who are asking why she is crying...she just ran a FREAKING MARATHON!! her body and mind is EXHAUSTED and she is proud. in ten weeks she ran a marathon y'all would be crying too
Also combine that with the realization that she just completed what so little people have the mental and physical control to accomplish, I’d be so proud and pained and confused and in shock I’d start sobbing. She’s a human, it’s completely normal to cry when you feel that much emotion.
Not to mention those ENDORPHINS!! Its the best part of running 😁❤️
@@melissavancoppenhagen3756 literally facts!!!
She's out here running 5 miles without training for marathons and here I am getting tired from _walking_ 5 miles 😔
Saaaaaame
Get a grip of life then, eat healthy, walk once a week. Jesus Christ, what’s hard about 5 miles.
R.P.F. Purple she must have done running in the past or at school. She ran 5 miles on the first day including sprints. There is no way you can do that if you haven’t run quite a lot before. This was also reflected in her half marathon time. Most people start 1-2 miles and just build up.
@@yanik8286 damn bro chill
Fuzzybrain 000 no, im fucking tired of the youth im part of. All of us are lazy scumbags
I'd be lying if I said I didn't bawl my fucking eyes out watching this video
Ashley B I was crying too
Ashley B that music at the end and her crying. Got me too.
Ashley B- I was crying so bad too
same!
I thought it was just me!
I can't make it to the mailbox without passing out...
Legendary GummyBear fat
Trebor 10 skinny

Trebor 10, don't be rude.
why do you live 26 miles from the nearest mailbox?
Everytime I feel like I'm loosing my love for running I watch this and get it back immediately
Try to mix sports
Try cycling
She ran in the top 3% (631/18,892) of all runners and the top .8% (67/7962) of women. Clearly she either has elite level genetics OR she was doing some form of training before which she may not have realized was training her aerobic system.
Apparently she’s an ex-procyclist
@@jessslater3948 a pro? So I guess then most of the video was more acting than anything else. An average person can also not run a half marathon in 1:37 with just a few weeks of training XD
She run a boston qualification after few week. That's totally bs.
Her legs could never ever handel the train.
why did I find that so emotional and amazing!? When she crossed that line I felt so proud for her. Wow.
Even me. I started crying. I'm toying with the idea of doing a half marathon having started running last year and I felt SO MANY FEELINGS watching this
Yay! Me too! :)
There is a saying in my family, 'Be brave no matter what life throws at you' I myself don't have much courage but hey more power to the runners, dreamers, record makers, and record breakers. I'll see you soon and thank you to the people who inspired me.
Michelle: "About to run a marathon!"
Me: "About to watch a marathon of movies!"
ADAM CHRISTIE HARRY POTTER MARATHON!
Ayye I am the thousanth like
Paige Adams YAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!
I ran my very first half-marathon today, after being a couch potato 5 months ago. This is the first video I went to, and it brought tears again. I've never had so much emotion come over me all at once, I absolutely bawled when I met my husband at the finish line. What an inspiration you are ❤
anyone who's started running since quarantine?
I did. Literally just started running less than two weeks ago after a very long break from running. Ran 8 of the last 10 days. Hoping to run a half marathon towards the end of the year and maybe a marathon next year.
me!
me! I just started running less than one week ago. I hope I can join marathon when I turn 18, I'm 16 now.
@@salmakamilah5214 you can run marathons at your age... You would just need a parent or guardian to sign the release waivers

I run
away from my problems

sameeeee
Issy Mahon i can't escape them
Funny,i seem to always run to where problems at lol
Issy Mahon May I join you?!! 😆
I laughed, I cried... I’m going through a lot right now and want to start running. Super proud of you.
You can do it, i believe in you. The hard part is starting!
Good luck I hope you do well!!
Thulani Hlatshwayo samd
Go for it! How's it going?
Go for it!
I know I’m super late, but if she ran 5 miles the first day then she was definitely doing some sort of training before.
Nah... I can pick up and run 5 no problem. I was a year round athlete in my day though.
@@anthonyhutchins2300 . The point is that she's not some rookie when she can run 7.5 average minute miles in a half marathon after only 5 weeks of training. The whole video is fake.
I don't think it's fake, but she's already really athletic so it makes since why she's so fast.
@@isabelleabt5827 .I mean that the concept of a rookie non runner doing a half marathon in 5 weeks then a marathon in another 5 weeks while running under 8 minute miles is a little ridiculous. She's not a rookie.
@@MrSupernova111 she's a professional cyclist I thought? or at least she was
everytime i watch this i get like 4 minutes of inspiration then go back to binging other youtube vids
I too cry uncontrollably when I do something that I thought I couldn’t do like when I collect all the stars in Mario 64
I'd take 26.2 stars over 120 miles any day.
HAHAHAHAH
😂😂
PieSauruS that genuinely made me laugh ahaha
Oh that was so funny 😂
..and i can barely finish the 2 minute run in gym class
Clorox Bleach same😂😂😂 i run for 2 seconds and im already dying
Clorox Bleach sammeeee
Clorox Bleach me too 😂
Clorox Bleach LOL SAME
maybe you should go on reddit more often and create more dank memes that might help.
i’m crying so hard like now. like the moment when she passes that goal line is just so fucking emotional and i deeply want to feel like that one day, too. has to be incredible.
“everybody can run a 5k” PFFT SPEAK FOR YOURSELF
He said everyone can *WALK* a 5k, not run a 5k!
A 5K is 3 miles and once you start running it'll become an amazing milestone in your journey to a marathon
haha:) i run over a 5k everyday/except sunday cause it’s important to rest
@@sarabowin6298 that's amazing! Keep up the work :)
@@AyudhDhupar Yeah, I'm getting there! I'm doing the c25k program and I'm on week 6 out of 9. Can't wait to get there! I've already been able to run 2 miles.
I am a runner as well... I can say what she did in that amount of time and being able to qualify for Boston is truly mind blowing. Congratulations!
Yeah I run too and I really think that she was incredible !
Dana Elizabeth any tips??
I’m kinda a runner but I have asthma
I cried of happiness when she finished the marathon
Ally Bixo no u didn't
Wikipedia yes I did. I cry very easily
Ally Bixo same if I just see one person cry just a little bit I'm ballin even if it's not sad of a big reason
Ally Bixo same oml
Ally Bixo same I was crying and realized that I'm in earth and I was created (not the dirty way) to go through this journey
Her: "the best part of this challenge hands down is getting to eat a lot of food"
Me: "OMG yes! cinnamon rolls, ice cream, bananas foster"
Her: "chicken, rice, spaghetti squash"
Me: :I
Hold up, you're telling me she could run 5 miles non stop at the beginning? She had to have had experience from before, a normal person doesnt just run 5 miles like that, and average person can probably run half a mile.
yess exactly, i haven’t ran in months and if i literally just ran 5 miles off the bat without any breaks-that is crazy
She does a bunch of fitness challenges and apparently she used to be an ex-pro cyclist
Yep, a fit person might also just be able to run a marathon without preparation.
I can't even motherf****** walk up the stairs without dying of exhaustion
Anonomously G.I.R.L then you have a problem
You must be American.
I'm a long distance runner in hs and I too get tired walking up stairs lmao

I ran a half marathon yesterday in 2hrs and 30mns. Seeing her finish in 3hrs and change is crazy! Great job👍🏽
I'm 100% sure that that person was already an athlete. You don't go from running 0 miles to running 40+ miles a week without being an athlete. This seems like bs. Also it's still pretty much a miracle they didn't get injured.
“icing my ankles so they don’t blow up”
My favorite line ever 😂
10:02 me to girls who love drama
she became taller, her hair became more voluminous, her skin went golden and beautiful, and she smiled. I wanna run a marathon now lmao.
but seriously she did amazing out there im really proud.
this is one of buzzfeeds gems i really loved this.
Sorry to ruin your dreams but buzzfeed not only photoshops the final result, they take the photos and try to make them look scrawny and pale. Running has a whole lot of benefits don’t get me wrong. But the pictures were altered
That's definitely not sarcasm.
Jennifer Park nah it wasn’t sarcasm they were just joking lol
OMFG LMAOOOO
Yeah I can't believe she ran the whole way
whoever did the editing and the camera work is truly A GIFTED PERSON THIS WAS AMAZING
Like Brendon on Logan Paul’s vlog
i'm pretty sure video producers in buzzfeed have to do everything for his/her videos
in other words, i think she edited this herself
This made me cry omg. She’s such an inspiration and I love that she’s not afraid to show her emotions through hardships to her fans.
omg, i was so proud of michelle, i started crying at the end. (watched it again. i watch this since it motivates me to exercise)
"I am on my way
I can go the distance

Me!!! F'ing!!! Too!!!!
Sure...
well frick guess who’s crying
This is why I love following Michelle on her challenges. Her emotions are so raw and real. Its shows truthfully the entire journey of how she got to where she is at. Thank you, Michelle! You're an inspiration for me and I get so motivated when I watch your videos!
Over the course of a year I’ve watched this video video at least 5 times, and I cry each time. This is so inspiring
she's running a marathon in only 10 weeks of training and I can't even walk up the stairs.
lexi weems I'll run 2 steps and I'll fall
Izzzy V lol for gym we have to run the mile under 8 minutes
I used to be able to run an 8 minute mile, but now I think I'm at 20 minutes
Believe it or not the times I ran 8 minute miles were when I did band. I played the trombone and I wonder if the breathing helped me do it
I'm not sure about running, but I can walk a mile in about 15-16 minutes.
u know when u see michelle start crying bc shes proud of herself and you start crying bc you're proud of her
Shelby Bolduc yess!! positivity!!
I did the same thing!
Totally agree!! I teared up like a baby
Shelby Bolduc yes
Shelby Bolduc that is so true and it actually happened to me to, like seriously you go girl
i need that man to be always beside me and scream every time i procrastinate lol
I love this! So happy to see her overcome through the struggles. Thanks for the motivation today!! 💪🏻
Watched this two months ago, longest run was almost 2 miles and it almost killed me. Now I am up to five miles three times a week and am training for a 10k. So thanks for that!!
I'm at 2 miles aswell how can I get to five like you?
Abigail Stricker I’m running a 10k at the end of October
IM A WARRIOR train everyday but have some rest either 1-2 days should be good watch out for injuries that will slow you down, never stop running for a week you will lose progress than what you’ve gain,
@@godlytime1093 last year, I made the mistake of running every day with only 1 day of rest. I would run two miles each day. I began to get a sharp pain on my right glute. So recently I've been reseting 2-3 days . And I've also incorporated unilateral leg workouts
I am a beginner runner wish me luck
Five miles...
You better be planning my funeral
Do you hike?

If you see this not in Miles, but in Kilometers, it feels way longer...
I searched it up and it says 42.195 km🙀🙀🙀🙀
ONLY HUMAN yes... thats the Point hahah. A half marathon is 21 Kilometer and a marathon 42... its so much😱
But the kms fly by!
GREAT JOB TO MICHELLE BUT OML I LOVE HOW SUPPORTIVE AND POSITIVE THE COACH WAS
this motivates me to do exercise but it's 9:50pm and i am incredibly lazy
yulpiewsert1 me to 😂
Same XD
yulpiewsert1 I just did a workout and it's 10 pm
yulpiewsert1 MEEEEEEE
good work! keep it up friend you can do it :D i live through you
It's so cute to see how happy the trainer was when she finished
I rewatch this video so much, it’s honestly so well made and inspiring
I dont think she realizes how fast shes running😂
Its pretty slow
rocks become cold no it’s not
@@anjaligorti8037 yes it is
Omg we have the same name! My name is Esmeralda😁
@@rocksbecomecold3866 what would you consider fast?
Michelle is honestly my favorite
She's the worst. Bad. Acting.
Mari Rivera saaaaaame!! She is goooooooals!!!
kromezer28 she lost her dog and two expensive bikes, one she was going to donate to someone in need, why would you think this is acting?
This.
kromezer28 how can you say that!!!!
I watched this video about three months ago. I couldn’t run a mile without stopping every minute. It’s been about three months and I’ve ran about 10 5Ks, and was finally able to run 4 miles without stopping about a week ago. I’m rewatching this to hype me up for my run today, and aiming for 4.5 miles. Thank you for being an inspiration for so many beginners getting into fitness!!
I love this video so much. From time to time I come back to get myself motivated. Michelle, you're so incredible!
I don't think Michelle gives herself enough credit. She proves how amazing of an athlete she is every video, and this video exemplifies that! And she stays so humble about all of her many accomplishments!
Athena Kitty im 15 and im running a 60 mile ultramarathon and i barely run
Ice baths, falling toenails, blisters, and shin splints just the life of a XC runner.... KMN
It's Annie shin splints are the bane of my life
It's Annie YIkes, shin splints are the WORST.
She already was a trained athlete as Professional cyclist. As a cyclist she had her stamina already built.
I’ve tried so many times to start running and recently started up again, and I think this time it’s going to stick. This video was so awesome to watch. I want to get to that point.
Can we just talk about how she didnt even think she could finish but she did so good she qualified for one of the most pristegious marathons out there? Talk about inspiration.
I'm a runner who has been running for 5 years and I know that pain she is in. I have huge respect for her doing that in 10 weeks
David Rubolin I know right??
I would love to see the 10 week plan! I'm really into fitness too and seeing exactly what steps she had to take to get there would be so cool
Everytime I need motivation to even just workout after a rut of not going to the gym I come to this video and it I always cry with her it's so inspirational
Everyone who is saying why is she crying.... i GET why shes crying and im no nowhere near fit (18 min a mile), but when you push yourself to do something that your mind and body might be telling you otherwise, its hard but so rewarding. Try loosing 30 lbs or try having at least a personal training 3 days a week for a month. You only get a small taste of what shes having. So i APPLAUD her. Challenging your own self is hard cause you are your own supporter and critic at the same time.
Do you walk your mile?
Lauren Fennelly did u like ur own comment?
Crawl.
fyrick24 Why the hell would it be a woman thing? It's just emotionally stressful and exhausting--especially if you're doing it for this long. It's a mental stress such as much as a physical one. Normally, you'd just avoid the problem and take take a moment but she had to do this for ten weeks straight without pause. Factor in all the exhaustion...
fyrick24 Buzzfeed told her to do so to create more drama.
This is hands down my all time favorite Buzzfeed video. Watching Michelle always give her best in every video she's in just makes me happy and it's just so hard not to smile.
lilclipps I thought your picture was a little hair. I tried to blow it off
cassie schulte same 😂😂
cassie schulte yup did the same
lilclipps I thought your profile pic was a crack on my phone and I freaked
lilclipps I
I have watched this so many times
Michelle is so inspirational
I literally love you physic ❤️you are my motivation and the person I look up to become. It’s really hard to not think of giving up and with those tragic situations you were going through during that period of time, I mean really hats off to your dedication
I'm so doing that one day!
Me: *walks up stairs*
Also Me: *heavy breathing and wheezing*
Prince Popcorn Yeah. I don't like Coke or Pepsi.
Ray Rush Yeah I know, happens a lot
Angela Chappell you gotta start somewhere
In case anyone cares I ran 2 half marathons a month ago
I've ran many marathons. And there is an adrenaline rush that you get. You feel like your flying running in the morning. Just the experience and everything about it is so great.
I'm telling you, I was a fat little couch potato for so long, I thought I'd never run a 5k. But here I am.
You can do it too.
I Like Hamilton Thanks (I also like Hamilton :D)
I've ran a 5k too! During it you feel tired and worn out but the people cheering you on make you go faster and faster. The feeling afterwards is so great
Wow. My god, that's inspirational. I can't believe I've been letting little things in life hold me back. Thank you, Michelle, you are truly an amazing, inspirational human being
Wow ! This video was so emotional and motivates me even more to keep training for the marathon I wanna do in April! Thank you so much!!! ☺️💕
And I’m here trying to run just one mile in under 10 minutes 😩
Me too 😭
im down to 12:45 from the 16:40 it takes me to walk a mile. good luck buddy
It's ok friend. You're in your own journey. Don't ever compare yourself to others, you need to simply complete against yourself. In other words: this week your goal is to run a mile in under 10. Next week your goal is to run a mile in under 9 mins 55 seconds. Or to run 1 and a half miles and don't time yourself, just try to go further.
Competing against other people before you've even gotten started is a great way to feel defeated and give up.
You got this
Try to enjoy it.
I know, same, I’ve been training for 4 weeks and I’m still running like a 17 min mile:/
@@albrown19904
Are you sure you're measuring an actual mile?
17 mins is slower than my normal walking speed and slower than 1 min per 100m. o_O
Not gonna lie I've watched this video a solid 10 times
burnt chicken nugget SSAAMMMEEE
I watch this almost every day
WE HAVE THE SAME USERNAME!!!! OH MY GOSH 😂😂
Same. For some reason it never gets old.
Saaaaaame
This video motivates me so much every time i watch it, it makes me want to push harder and be better, i love michelle 💕😭
I didn't expect to get emotional watching this. Cried when she crossed that finish line. Yesss! You go girl!
the only marathon I can run is re-watching my fave show
Aasiya Sheikh 😂
Hahah
Aasiya Sheikh what show
Aasiya Sheikh same
Only marathon I do is a Harry Potter one
She should try competitive swimming
Parker Lynch yes!! I
Parker Lynch YESS
It's the worst ugh lol
I am a swimmmer, I can relate to a lot of what she said, but you don't get that adrenaline rush, it only gets more painful and makes you feel worse after
I'm a swimmer too, and I really think she should do it because not a lot of people give us credit for what we do! It's tough!! I totally believe she can do it though!
I'm doing this, thanks sharing your process. The thing I love most about running is that you're defeating your mind all the time and also the principles from running that you can draw from and apply in life
Two years later and I'm still loving this video, it gets me emotional every time❤️
