This is SO helpful. I feel like so many run plans you find online start with a ton of running and don't provide enough context and flexibility. This feels so doable and yet like it would get you ready for a half. Awesome.

[@gofarsogood]

My goal precisely! And this is what has always worked for me so I’m glad it feels good for you too!

[@jeremyvangheem3765]

The content some of us needed but were to shy/embarrassed to ask for...Bravo.

[@gofarsogood]

You would not believe how asked for this topic was!! I’m so happy I could make this video.

[@alinebristol102]

61 and trying to get back in shape for a half. Thanks for you vids.

[@gofarsogood]

Happy to help you!! Keep me posted on the half.

[@dondada3986]

Holly I can’t thank you enough for this. So well structured and aptly delivered. I appreciate how you’ve covered the mental as well as the physical challenges of running. I’ll be back to thank you again when I run my first half marathon. It is 4 months away and I was feeling a little anxious about it but I know I can do and I want to prove it to myself. Thank you

[@gofarsogood]

So happy to help you!! Please keep me posted. You'll be great in your first half!

[@mrvggl]

Thanks Holly, just completed my first half marathon. Your suggestion to count 1 to 5 was awesome 👍

[@gofarsogood]

CONGRATS! And I’m so glad that helped.

[@michelleharnett1351]

So I'm a reasonably experience "athlete" but it's good to reminded of things - like even you are out of breath and it hurts that you are okay. That's something I'm going to tell myself from now on.

[@gofarsogood]

Exactly! It doesn't mean you're not cut out for it. Not at all.

[@xXAnthony619Xx]

I’m 250 pounds and I’m running my first 50 miler in two weeks. Yes, I’m a back of the packer 😅.

[@gofarsogood]

Hell yeah, Anthony! Have a great race.

[@sarahkaltenecker]

How’d it go!?

[@xXAnthony619Xx]

@@sarahkaltenecker I finished in 14:15! It was gnarly for sure but I knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park. No injuries. Took some time off and looking to get back to higher mileage adventures, but dealing with injuries unrelated to running. Thanks for inquiring!

[@rgh622]

Holly, we love watching your videos and this week has been awesome with content!

[@gofarsogood]

Yay! Thank you!

[@narfarn402]

I am obsessed with you, you are such a good teacher!!! Thank you for your videos

[@gofarsogood]

Aw, thank you!!

[@rebekahbiever]

Omg thank you so much for this! I've been running for a year but have had trouble with sticking to a good routine/plan, dealt with injuries and didn't have the strength training component. I'm so grateful for this video and you laying it out like this. 🙏❤️🔥🏃‍♀️

[@gofarsogood]

I hope something in here works for you!

[@moindhali]

Walk-ran last three days. Yesterday didn't go so well. Was thinking of throwing in the towel. So thankful for this video. Subbed.

[@gofarsogood]

I'm so glad it showed up when you needed it. Don't get too caught up in the weeds!

[@moindhali]

@@gofarsogood Went on a 30-minute walk today. Pushed through the discomfort in the middle. To my surprise, I was even able to run for 2 minutes straight at the end. Feeling great. Thanks again for such amazing content. Keep posting.

[@rachelleo8881]

You consistently give such good info and make such good videos. Thanks Holly.

[@gofarsogood]

You’re so nice thank you!!

[@starsharp3500]

@Rachel I know she is so good. I want her to have more followers. Her content is so well thought out and reasonable. No pie in the sky promises and she's alway prioritizing health and balance.

[@rachelleo8881]

@@starsharp3500 - totally agreed. Holly’s content is amazing. She is so much more authentic than a lot of fitness and health RUclipsrs.

[@jackiebricker4117]

Yup I will definitely have to come back to watch again and write things down. Tons of great information. I used to think I was drinking enough until I figured out my headaches and some other symptoms were because I was dehydrated. Then I installed an app to remind myself to drink and wow was I way off in how much I thought I was drinking to how much I actually need to drink.

[@gofarsogood]

I'm so glad you'll have this to reference. Yes, water makes the biggest difference!

[@jackiebricker4117]

@@gofarsogood so am I. Thank you! 🥰

[@lizzypicardi]

Thanks 4 sharing Holly. I have my 1st this summer - - really looking forward to it

[@starsharp3500]

This was an AMAZING blueprint. Come with paper and pen guys there are lots of notes therein.

[@gofarsogood]

Thank you, Star!!

[@markchavez738]

I'm fat and like to run. Thank you for this video!

[@gofarsogood]

So happy to have made it!

[@gofarsogood]

Woo!

[@josebolanos5221]

Muchas gracias por tus consejos

[@gofarsogood]

Of course!

[@camilotroncoso6793]

Thank you!

[@gofarsogood]

Of course!

[@commongerman6265]

Is there a written version of this plan? 🙏🏼

[@gofarsogood]

I will be releasing training plans very soon on my website! I’ll post a video about them as soon as they’re available! www.martinholly.com

[@maldo007]

It's hard for me to do the walk/run. So, I just run and stop at the water stations. I always try some of the exercises that you suggest and they for me. Thanks.

[@gofarsogood]

thank you always for the support! I hope this helps :)
