I started running two months ago, and girl, your videos and IG posts have inspired me! I went from struggling to get to 5 minutes on a treadmill to now running outside for ten miles a week. I did not think I could run longer, but I could. I feel so good and free while running. I've been running in my New Balance Fresh Foam 880v12, which I love! I plan on signing up for a 5k run in my city to work up to a marathon someday. Running is a mental challenge because I believe we all can run long distances. When that tiny voice tells me to stop in the first five minutes, I tell myself to keep on going, and it's helped tremendously. And thank you for your service!!! I come from a military family, and one of my brothers is on active duty. I am in the process of joining, so running and incorporating hybrid training styles is helping me get in shape. Keep posting more videos because they are beneficial!!

I started running in the beginning of last year with couch to 5k and it was so hard at the time, and now I have a half marathon in 2 weeks!

And strength training!! To stay pain and injury free it is SO important to be training our strength and mobility AS WELL AS running!! It can even just be bodyweight or with dumbbells at home, but it is so important!!

I've seen ppl drop weight on abundance just by walking 30-45 minutes a day....walk walk walk if you wanna run after fine

Just to add to your bit on warm up… the key point is dynamic vs static. It has been found that’s doing warm in which u are in the same spot (static) can increase injury. It is best to do dynamic stretching that involves movement (ie lunges, arm cycles etc.) as they warm that muscle up. This also applies to weight lifting too. So key note in dynamic before workout and static after workout. Cheers enjoy your runs!!

You're my comfort creator. I love your content and your approach ❤ I'm going next week to get running shoes to get back to running after getting to my highest weight after a bout of depression after losing my dad and just general life struggles. Your videos have inspired me to get back to my feet. Thank you!

i’m a beginner and this is my second attempt, after only a few tries last year around this time
this was a great video for me to watch

It’s great to have a channel with someone who is actually starting from 0. Appreciate you!!!

I had to rewind when you said walking ten miles a day then heard you say you are planning to walk the Camino de Santiago! My mom has done it three times in the past 7 years and she’s almost 69. My mom said it’s really intense but you can do it! Pack as light as possible and wear extremely comfortable, good quality socks and shoes.

Just found you, and it’s been great to actually relate to a creator and their life! Started running in February using the Nike Run Club app and it’s been the difference. It’s helped teach me form, different types of runs, and even has plans and playlists.

I really appreciate how gentle and realistic your advice is. I recently began running and you’ve helped me so much so far!

I’m a running newbie at almost 40 and love your content. ❤

[thegoodnews]

Right on time!! I just decided want to start running this summer, thank you for the tips 🫶🏽 you look great 😍

[MsMizz]

Love this. Never took walking too seriously though I more than see the benefit. I’ve looked at walking to enjoy for leisure but really exercise for more mature people which is pretty ageist. I’m gonna take up walking because I’ve been tryna get back into running for years and its been difficult but I ran track and played sports as a kid through high school and continued through early college years. I’m ready to commit and it’s helpful to sustain with realistic tips that address pitfalls. Subscribed ❤️
