You and Natasha Oceane posting the most motivating videos this week. Tears in my eyes. So proud of you!! Inspiration!

Just ran my 181st half marathon. As a life-long runner the most important thing about distance running is consistency! For me it is a lifestyle. It is just part of my everyday life. Stay consistent in any workout program, make it your lifestyle and you will age healthy & gracefully! No big secrets, consistency is key!

[VictoriaPeraltaWagner]

i literally cried when they said "all finished, that's taylor woods". this was so inspiringgg and perfect timing for my first half next month. congratulations!!

[laurenlovessing]

I have no idea why, but I literally just cried when you crossed the finish line 😂 You are such an inspiration!

[tamit]

I got choked up watching this. I remember when I ran my first and only 1/2 marathon. it was such an emotional feeling. Even after the race friends and family wanted to celebrate and I wasn’t my usual chatty self. I think i was just so overwhelmed with emotions that I did it. So proud of you girl! It’s great feeling to accomplish it.

[juliadallagnol]

I remember watching the first videos in which you mentioned running and I could not help but to think "I could never do that", even in the moments in which you judged yourself the most because of it, I can assure you it amazed me every time, to the point that I started running myself (still am!) and to see you crossing that finish line made me tear up thinking about how far you have come and how far you have pushed me and so many others! Sorry for the essay, but at the end of the day I just want to say thank you for sharing every step of the way, it makes a world of difference 💕

[courtneycampbell]

Here's a suggestion you definitely didn't ask for: do a short course triathlon! I trained for and completed one last fall and it has been the biggest game changer for me to get me to appreciate all the amazing things my body can do, and the mix of sports helps keep training interesting! Congratulations on your race, you killed it!

[elleirenex]

Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you 💜 nothing has been better than seeing how your relationship with running has changed since you began you're training. I love the "doing it to prove to myself I can" mentality.

[jokintz]

What a legend Taylor! So proud of you! As a non runner (elephant running through peanut butter runner) watching you cross that finish line was so inspiring!! YOU ARE A

[elisabethrivera]

This literally made me emotional! Felt like I was watching a best friend accomplish their goals! I'm so proud of you, Taylor!!!! Been watching your running journey since the beginning and you have no idea how much you have inspired me and everyone else in this twisty community. Sending big hugs and congratulations!!!

[terkabohacova]

Congrats!! After watching all of your running videos I actually went on my first run today! I love being active but running was always a nightmare for me, but I really wanted to give it a go. And today was not horrible and I actually want to go again so thank you thank you thank you. <3

[sanjitbains]

Taylor you've been so inspiring to watch, I even remember watching your early treadmill challenge videos. You inspired me to sign up for a half marathon and get past my mental barrier. Seeing you cross the finish line made me emotional and so happy for you! ILYSM

[candiceelrod]

I’m so proud of you! I’m currently at the beginning of my running journey and I legit got emotional for you when you finished. Always love your positivity and kindred spirit! So happy YouTube algorithm brought me to you 😊

[djeden]

Aaaawww great video! I’d been looking forward to this one. I ran my first half (alone!) in 2015 and it was tough but so rewarding. I will never forget the nerves and excitement going into it and how unbelievably proud I was of myself. It all just felt so HUGE. Watching this brought all that back. Happy for you!

[sweetnvicious]

Yeih, you did it Taylor! You're sooo inspiring! I've been running for a couple of years, but have never had the guts to sign up for anything like this. Following your journey to this half marathon has inspired me to sign up for one! THANK YOU!

[ninamarcelo]

So inspiring to watch your journey and seeing you cross the finish line!! I’ve been focusing on getting better at running the last 6 months, but now you’ve inspired me to run a half marathon too by the end of the year 🥺 so proud of you Taylor!

[aaamyyoung]

You DID THE DANG You are an inspiration to my fitness (aka weight loss) journey! Your honesty on the day to day struggle is so relatable and makes me feel like a human! Your positivity is most definitely a mood booster! Just so very proud of you!

[katienorteman]

This warmed my heart! I love the way you structured this video leading up to the race, made me so happy to see you so happy doing the darn thing! You are so inspiring, congrats on crossing the finish line!!

[meghanrichardson]

This video honestly made me so emotional. I remember watching your first running video and empathizing so much with how much you hated the treadmill (it's still the worst) and now watching you cross the finish line inspires me so much! I'm training for my first half marathon at the end of May and I've loved going on this journey with you! I was dreading my run for today because it's gross outside but watching this 100% inspired me to just put my shoes on and go do it. You should be so proud of everything you've accomplished, and thank you so much for sharing it with us!!

[gracies._.place]

YES IM SO PROUD OF YOU I’ve always wanted to do this and you’ve really inspired me to finally start training!!
