    I've been running every day since September 12th, 2022. My laziest days were 1 mile, my best were 14. I've enjoyed it and plan to continue it, currently 17 years old and plan to continue this streak as long as I can in life.

    I ❤ video & comments! I’m 76 and haven’t missed a day in 3+ yrs.
    Mottos-miss a day & I’ll never do it again; a body in motion stays in motion; and ‘run don’t walk!’ 😅 my 🐕 ❤ it too! Last year we went 2518 miles!

    People are always questioning others, when they have not even walked a mile in their shoes / don’t let them put you down.
    You have inspired sooooo many people around world.
    Thank you so much for your motivation and inspiration 🙏🏽

    Man, I don't get why people have to comment negative things on people doing positive stuff. Especially when commenting on people's times. Fast/slow is relative to each person. I've run 7 marathons and I just had my PR in Chicago at a 3:44. Slow to some, fast to others. I've also been running a mile a day since January 1st of 2022 and I love it. I do it in honor of my dad who was diagnosed with ALS January 1st 2022 and lost his battle exactly 9 months later. I love that you run for people that can't. That is also my inspiration going forward.
    Hellah, you're an inspiration and I really love your channel and story and look forward to see what you have in store for the future!

    Thank you for sharing your story. When I was younger, I didn't like running. I started running at 56 (3 months later 57) years old. My late husband was terminally sick. It helped me with keeping depression at bay and later got me through grief, after his death. Next month, I'll be 65, and I still run most days, love it & very grateful for it. I have yet to run a marathon. But, my recent half-marathon was in December 2022. Also, I found out, I love trail running. So, I'll probably do more of those types of races. Thanks for inspiring me! Peace.

    I had an ear-to-ear smile throughout this video! Such a healthy mindset, so many life lessons running is teaching us. You are a beautiful person man, glad to stumbled upon your video!
    I found running during my most difficult days of my life and it made me feel incredibly exonerated. And coincidentally enough, it happened while I was a grad student at UMASS (Remember that trail connecting Amherst and Northampton? I spent so many nights after school running in that trail). Anyways, thank you for reminding me this!

  • @Shevock
    @Shevock Год назад +32

    You're so fast. I trained for a marathon and it took me 6 hours and 42 minutes. Sure my ankle gave out at mile 16 but that's part of the marathon. Fast and slow are relative.

    The military helped me hate running, but even when enlisted I knew it was something I needed to conquer. And it took me a few years since the military to want to run, but it’s still this thing in my mind I need to overcome. And honestly yeah I agree, doing it for yourself and your own personal goals is so much more motivating. Now I’m enjoying things, but lol you marathon guys are crazy to me. I’m good with my 3 miles but I am always impressed by you horses!

    hi hellah,
    dont mind them if you are running without posting your times or entering any race..
    cant please everybody for sure..

  • @jaysingh05
    @jaysingh05 Год назад

    I had heard about you from other running channels. But this was my first introduction to you directly. What a story! And great job telling it! I’ve also started running a lot in the past year. Though I’m not a streaker, I’ve been consistently keeping track of and slowly increasing my weekly mileage. Running, now, has definitely become a passion, and feels like it will be here forever. Its amazing to know that there are others like yourself out there, who feel the same way about running, and are taking it to previously unimaginable levels. Keep it up Hellah. we will all be here following your journey, and supporting you along the way, while deriving inspiration from it as well.

    Hella! I just finished the 4 agreements a couple days ago. That book is filled with some serious gems! Congrats on the run streak, you inspired me to start my own streak 1,318 days ago and I haven't looked back.
    There are always going to be those who question the streak, because some believe you have to be doing PR's every week and winning races. Unless they're running or have ran a streak too, people generally don't see the point.

    I love your story Hellah. Really enjoyed watching your Leadville 100 video and listening to how running is your happy place. I’m training for my first 50k this summer to celebrate becoming 50& Fabulous 😊
    I ran NYC in 2019, 1-st marathon and loved it.
    Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration.

    Awesome video. Just found your channel very inspiring. I started my streak Dec. 3,2021 on a random Friday. I have always wanted to run everyday but I made every excuse from I’ll start next month to I’ll start on a Monday. Until that day I just did it. It literally changed my life. Still going strong.

    @akremamara8349 Год назад

    Some people are really toxic, just because they don't see things the same way you do they will judge you. A lot of people start their running journey with the wrong mindset, trying to compare themselves with others all the time like it's a competition. I've been running all my life and I'm almost 33. I played football like Hellah for years and I started running long distances and trails at 19 occasionally and for me it was just something I enjoyed doing so I did the first race in my life 10 years later at 29. Enjoy what you do people instead of living the hell of comparing yourself to others.

    Love your attitude and views. Like you, I hated running to begin with, but have grown to realize that's its a gateway to so much more, i am going to run the fat dog 120 this year, so videos like this are fuel. Hey I don't think anyone has ever ran from the very bottom tip of the states to the north of mainland Canada. Good luck on future adventures sir.

    Love the attitude. You truly enjoy the run. I'm actually going opposite of your year. Been doing triathlons and running events for 6 years now and am taking this year off. No events, just running and biking. By the way, my two marathons took me 6:50 and then 6:25., so how slow am I? But like you (I think) I do it for the feeling of accomplishment from completing distances or just for getting out there on a bad day and the feeling of freedom during the run.

  • @eddiekelley527

    Hey Hellah, just wanted to post and let you know that you don't have to explain yourself to haters. We can all see the energy and inspiration you're pushing out into the world. Someone accusing you of commanding a lot of clout and says "What's the point of running that much if you're gonna be so slow? Lolol" is deep down, a jealous & miserable human being. Keep doing you, brother. We love ya!

      @@ManningOWNsTeboww You don’t need to be condescending. 3 days is enough. You don’t know this person’s running journey. Running is very hard on the joints. Any doctor will tell you that 3-4 runs a week is good enough. If you can’t be polite then you probably shouldn’t have commented. Who are you to tell someone that what they are doing ISN’T enough. The audacity.

    Wow didn't realise you used to play football (soccer 😀)! Can really relate to that idea of hating the running part. I used to play myself as a kid and was exactly the same. Now really into running so it's completely flipped!
