I love how you addressed not feeling fast enough and comparing pace with other people! I have struggled with this on and off for 5 years since I've been running! I've come in last place in runs before! But the community never cared or judged. Just me! But even now that I'm faster and stronger there are still days I think I'm definitely not good enough to be considered an actual runner. So I really loved what you said here!
For those watching, as a fellow person who used the NTC half marathon program I 100% agree with Taylor, this program changed how I look at running, and two years later I still use it. Recommend for anyone who wants to get into running!!! Also love this vid Taylor 🤗
You hair looks so cute!!!! That extra time you spent curling your hair was totally worth it❤️ You’re so inspiring Taylor! Hearing you sort of let’s me allow myself to be humane with myself ( it might sound silly but I am so tough on myself when I should be encouraging) so thank you🤍
Omg it makes me feel so much better about my training when you said you were missing runs/training. Some weeks I just am not hitting my goals and it’s hard to not feel defeated or like I totally messed up and shouldn’t bother continuing. But we are doing it! Right now! Go us! 🏃♀️ 💪
it is so easy to get down on yourself, but life happens! and we can't be expected to run a perfect program! of course we want to train smart, but you can't get mad at yourself for being human too. it's all about the enjoyment to me!
Most everyone in the running community has said if you run, you are a runner. I’ve been running for years and my pace is usually 10:30 or 11:00. Sometimes even 12 min miles! It’s been about a year now since I’ve been running but I still identify as a runner. Your training makes me want to go running again. I might try the Nike run app.
I’ve run 9 half marathons in the last 6 years and I only run 3 times a week when I’m training. I also don’t even run the whole time, because I follow the Galloway method where you set intervals that you run for and then you take a walk interval. I’m actually faster when I take those walk intervals than when I try to run straight through. But I’m a runner, I’m slow but I run. My goal isn’t to finish at the top of my division, it is just to finish! I find that most runners I know don’t focus on speed unless they’re trying to be super competitive. I just did my half for this year and now I’ll switch to doing a majority of strength training and then doing cardio once per week - this may be running, or it may be using my stationary bike, or my rowing machine! This portion of the year I get to train the way I want to because there’s nothing I need to be “ready” for and it is my favorite part!
Your comment about how positive and welcoming the running community is, is so accurate! I did a couch to 5k class last year, was so nervous and intimidated but the group and the coaches are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I've met! After finishing the class, and doing a couple of races, we all still meet up twice a week to run together. ❤️
I can totally relate with the mileage being overwhelming. I worked with a coach when I was training for my first full and she only gives clients a few weeks of a plan at a time so that you don't get overwhelmed with the whole thing. There were plans I would receive that I would look at and just laugh because it was all I could do! Haha. Have a great race, have fun! You never get the first one back so don't worry about the small stuff and just have the time of your life!
you trainer sounds very smart :') i would love to work with a coach like that one day. and you're about to make me so sentimental already! i can feel myself already wanting to cry just at the thought of this first half! wow :') catch me crying in the comments right now
Listen Taylor, as someone who up and moved to a new city on my own where I didn't know anyone to go to college again I would say, if you have the opportunity to do so, do it. It's so rewarding and you'll make friends that you wouldn't have otherwise. Granted I moved only two hours away but you have Reese. It's good to have some support close by but dang, the adventure is so worth it and cool.
100% agree with your last bit on relationships. My husband and I have been together almost 7 years and I’d say our key to success is alone time together. You don’t always have to be doing the same thing as your partner. You’d be surprised by how relaxing and comforting it is to just enjoy the proximity but be doing two separate activities. Like he’s playing video games and I’m watching my show on my phone, or he’s watching his show and I’m reading. Just enjoy each other’s company.
Good morning Taylor happy Thursday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is sooo good yessss I loved your channel and you are sweetheart and your q&a vlogs is sooo good like I'm proud of you
I have loved just knowing out there on the other side of the country that you were also training for a half marathon. I’m about to run one in a week and a half - I hope you have an incredible race day!!
I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail and the name of the video.I was hoping it will be about you completing the half marathon 🥺 now I feel sad. But nmw looking forward to that video.Good luck!
My half marathon is this weekend! It's been really fun watching your videos knowing we're likely on the same-ish training timeline. It's definitely kept me motivated and also love that you have approached it fairly casually without being too strict. Excited to hear how your race goes, good luck!!
Taylor, I'm a pretty new watcher and listener of your podcast, but I have to say you are inspiring the heck out of me. My friend and I have been wanting to start a podcast for so long, but of course there's always an excuse or reason why we can't start now. Anyway, hearing your podcast in addition with your authenticity and your RADIATING positive energy is so helpful. Friend & I are starting the podcast now. Today I listened to your podcast while I did a brisk walk. I'm an absolute beginner as far as fitness goes, but your journey inspires me! Thanks for putting yourself out there & sharing parts of yourself with us ❤
yes brittany!! i’m so proud of you and your friend!! doing the darn thing! sometimes the hardest step is the first one: getting started! be yourselves, enjoy the process, and share your authentic voice :) send me your podcast link too when you can!! 💜💜💜
Strength training is still very important for runners to do. Otherwise you are putting yourself at risk of injury, so that's great you kept that in. Don't beat yourself up over that. :)
Love love love the guided runs on the Nike run app!! I use them a lot . Or whenever I get into a running funk, I use those to get me back into running . They’re the best ! Planning to run my second half marathon (first live one) this may. Last year was a virtual one where I live which I’m sure isn’t nearly the same. Was so pumped to see you post this video . You da best !
Have the best race day!! Enjoy every minute of it and keep remembering you’re doing this for YOU and to celebrate your love of running! While being surrounded by dozens of others who are celebrating with you! Also, you should definitely give moving to Dallas some thought! Great weather, lots to do and see! I’d be more than happy for some weekend workout meetups 😉 Thank you for being such a genuine person on social media, I know it’s difficult but your content is real and refreshing!
Strength training is very very important to build good running foundations and prepare your body for the strenuous activity of a half marathon. I did not incorporate it in while training for my first half marathons and I have felt much better finishing after I have introduced strength training into my regiment. You are on a great path and you will do amazing!! 😁
First of all, A+ on the hair! You look fabulous 😍 💯 I love how I can be fully engaged and not bored while watching your long videos! I usually start getting distracted or bored if videos are longer that 10-15 minutes, but I can watch one of your 40+ minutes long videos no problem! Your videos are always a treat for me!😘❤ I also always snack on dates before bed when I watch your videos, and I feel connected to my fellow date obsessed bff!🥰😋💕
I love the idea of signing up for something for motivation! Honestly really tempted to sign up for a spartan eace… I’ve wanted to do one for over two years but haven’t really even started preparing for the crazy that is a spartan race 😂
HELLO TAYLOR COME TO AUSTIN LOL come through!!!! Deff visit before moving but if remote were possible, Austin is deff a good temporary place to explore ☺️
I love this video I am so proud of you and how far you have come and to your running 🏃♀️ you are doing fabulous🤩 remember to always listen to your body and what it is telling you I personally don’t really ever do that and I’m like dying after my workout or run lol
i feel that bit about college- totally would’ve chosen a different place if i knew then what i do now- someplace bigger definitely. i was too scared to take a gap so i just jumped into it. (i was also across town from you at whitworth lol)
yes!! i loved the vibe of whitworth! totally agree on the small school part, still grateful for my experience but think it could have been better elsewhere
Gud luck on your half marathon and test.. you will do great in both :) Also have you ever considered living on the east coast :P :P I personally absolutely love the DC area :)
Okay, I did the EXACT same thing with my training program... I put too much on my plate and did not realize the 6-month deadline :))))))) did I just waste a lot of money? Maybe. Maybe I did.
@@TaylorWoods and I’m LITERALLY so serious!!!! Realistically I know at the moment you may not have that possibility but if you ever visit let me know ❤️❤️🥰

Hello Taylor, I'm Guilherme
good afternoon!!
I can’t believe the PT certification is $1,000. That’s wild. But I can’t judge, uni highkey bankrupted me 🥲
uni similarly has left me in a lot of debt :') but yes it is nuts in my opinion!
