running 50km, café hopping in Sydney, eating lots of hot cross buns, talking about balance and mental illness and a book rec to finish things off hehe.
Congratulations for completing the 50km. 🎉 So inspiring and goes to show that the idea of one specific day being the “only day” to do something is such a limiting concept. I love how you adapted and found a way to make it work for you. ❤ Lots of love.
very true! there are so many ways to reach the same goal! especially with tickets to races being quite expensive, it's a big lesson that if I just call up a few friends I kind make the experience just as special 💗
and thank you!! big hug to you!!
So impressed with your 50 KM event! as a runner I can say doing it alone is incredibly difficult. Your attention to recovery is impressive too. Thanks for sharing this, i am inspired by you and your accomplishment
Congrats on the 50km! We've been so spoiled with these weekly videos - I see the notification pop up and actively choose to only watch the video later so I can savour it slowly with a coffee in hand 😊 You've created such a beautiful corner of the Internet (and in Sidney, looking at the lovely things you do there by yourself or with friends!), thank you for always being so open, vulnerable and kind and sharing it with us!
Much love from Berlin 💖
This was so wonderful to watch! I was hit by such a wave of emotion when you stopped at your boyfriend’s aid station and were talking about enjoying the run - huge congrats! It’s so inspirational to watch someone with a nuanced and caring approach tackle this kind of goal 🎉
Sydney seems so lovely!! Also woooo 50km 🎉 I like that you switch it up in your vlogs (reading, cooking, exercise) 😊
you're one of the only "lifestyle" youtubers i can watch, especially when im in my current mental state (notttt good). i often feel like im not doing enough watching other more aspirational vlogs, but something about your combination of words of wisdom, always a focus on balance, whilst still being very nice to watch visually. very grounding and reassuring.
so impressed you did the 50km without the external pressure of the race and other people around you! i am doing my first ever half marathon next week (not a runner really, or maybe slowly becoming so), i'm excited but feel i havent trained as much as i should when i see other runners on the internet following such strict plans. so i'll just try my best and get it done whatever the pace! we shall seeee.
you sort of show me how i can be in the future once i've worked through some of my shit. i'm newly 24 so definitely get big sister energy from you
@revolutionlover don't stress much about not training as much as other people have, you've done the best you could have, under your current circumstances, I also run half marathons every year, still not a runner, no strict training,but I still do alright 😂, rooting for you!!!!❤
hello my friend!! thank you so much for such a lovely comment 💗
first off, if you're running you're a runner!! there's not much else to it, I promise.
The other thing is that I wasn't able to follow my training plan for the last 3-4 weeks. Due to travel, getting sick and then being massively depressed, my longest run for this training plan was way below what it had to be.
My friend told me that it is 100% better to arrive at the start line feeling fresh than feeling overtrained anyway, this gave me some relief.
SO!! As I say in the video, show up to the start line and go from there! The way I was able to manage expectations and get over the disappointment of not following through with my training plan, and the nerves, was to just take it easy and try to complete it to the best of my ability -- as you said. it worked a treat.
I just try and remember that I do this for fun! for my mental health! for a little challenge! I'm not getting paid for it, and no one is depending on me to finish it at a certain time, so I can take it easy and try to enjoy myself as much as possible.
PROUD OF U!!! U WILL SMASH IT!!!
WE R RUNNERS!!!
@@whitneymuchira4713 thank you, appreciate your comment! def boosting my confidence a bit to know not everyone is training like the running influencers haha:)
@@nina.montagne that makes it all the more impressive you went and did it!! you're a legend
but yeah I've tried to get into running a few times in my life and always hated it. i think what's different this time is that im Actually doing it for my own enjoyment above anything, obviously it's challenging too, but using it as a way to explore the area I've recently moved to (many fields, sheep and mud so not much choice for other hobbies having been a city dweller my whole life) and not put pressure on being speedy as fuck!
not clue why im rambling away in youtube comments, maybe a sign i should seek actual human interaction.
anyway!!!!! thank you:)
I haven’t even finished the video and needed to say how much I loved a psalm for the wild built 😂 the most wholesome lovely inspiring book!!!
ohmygoodness it is so SWEET AND TENDER which is EXACTLY what I need right now!! I'm so glad I stumbled on it.
also....is there any book you haven't read?!?! TELL ME THIS!
@@nina.montagne yes yes yes!! tender tender! also the second one is worth the read too ✨ and ha! 🤭🫣 many! but we happen to have very similar taste. though I hadn’t heard of monsters! so I promptly put it on my library list because it sounds fascinating. thanks for the reccy!
congrats, Ninaaaa
Thank you so much!!! Now I can move on with my life!!! Hehe 🙃
Congratulations Nina! You talked about your 50k for a while and it’s beautiful to see you complete it 🎉 Know we were all cheering for you at the finish line too! ❤ Okay, off to do something silly now 🧚♂️✨
Making yourself a race without all the ppl and the atmosphere and doing it anyway and yeah just making it up for yourself and going through with it - that is absolutely amazing!! Honestly, more impressive than if you had run the actual race!!!
Btw Nina (or anybody else): can you recommend any Spanish speaking Podcasts? I wanna incorporate more Spanish language into my everyday life ❤
THANK YOU!
I haven't been running in a year because of school D;
but your videos make up for it! I love living vicariously through you
Also! I'm from Houston and I bake often but have never had hot cross buns!
Are they common in that area?
so proud of you, nina!! not least because you completed the 50km (which is insane??) but you also adapted and made it happen despite unexpected circumstances. seeing you achieve your goal after so many months of watching you train felt so special. thank you for bringing us on this journey with you
You are literally so empowering!! I could honestly just marvel at you and your strength this video, wow wow wow!!!!
Have a great start of the month!🌞
you too!! 🌸
the squeal i let out seeing you posted >>>>
hehe 🥹💗
Congrats on the 50k!!! How do your knees not hurt?!? Even with custom insoles, proper shoes and running technique, my knees always start hurting at the 5K mark 😫 well it’s a strong discomfort, do you push past that discomfort?
Congratulations! You should be so proud of yourself! Thanks for sharing your experience and being a safe space on the internet
thank you thank you!!! Ohhh!! thank you so much for being here 💝
Salut back from fellow public transport girlie! And who; congratulations, such wonderful feat!! And also -especially- how you went arround it; pacing yourself, not in an extreme way. Which, as someone who can struggle which extremes as well, I find inspiring. And so sweet of your boyfriends (and friends, I think I saw?) to support you on the way :)
Congratulations on completing the 50k 🎉. I'm doing my first 50k ultra at the end of May and found this video very helpful and motivating- thank you 😊
Congratulations on 50k!! That’s incredible!
love your energy
Congratulations Nina!!!! Right now I’m training for a 5k and your advice was the best in that going slower than you want is so helpful! My lungs aren’t used to working so intense so going slowwwww really does help me go longer and help exercise my lungs. Love your content SO much! Love your seeing your supportive community 🥹
Nina, huge congratulations from the bottom of my heart. This video was very touching and filled with beautiful emotions❤❤
Congrats!🎉🎉🎉 I feel so good when you accomplish something like that
Yay! Congrats on 50k!!! Love the running content, but please do rest. ❤
Congrats, Nina! You're very inspiring :)
Ohhh thank you 💖🥹
I've had a lot of success using lollies (or literally just sugar water) as fuel for long cardio sessions. They are cheaper than gels and 95% as effective for me
congrats on completing your run! :)
thank you so much 🥹🌸
what an achievement! Well done, Nina!
Oh thank you so much!! 🥹💖🌸
love this!
just out of curiosity, could you share your running stats?
Congrats on the 50k Nina! So proud of you! ❤💪
