Kylie Jimenez I was like “I wanna run a marathon!” And then I was like “Siri how many kilometres is a marathon” Siri said “ 41. Something kilometres” I was like ok maybe another time
Fr though. Ya'll have no idea what it feels like to feel your body and legs crumbling and you're mental strength is hanging on by a thread. Your head is screaming at you to stop but you have to keep going. To have to keep going again and again.
Totally get it when I did then ruck march to get my Air Assault wings for the army. My feet and back was wrecked but I got something that I had been wanting my whole career. Even us tough guys have those pride tears.🙂
I feel like she should have highlighted the fact that she partly did so well bc she’s an ex-pro cyclist. People might think it’s normal to be able to do this intensity this quickly, not realizing they will likely get hurt. It’s also not normal for most to be able to do such a fast time in their first marathon
The whole thing is staged for views and likes. Anyone who has ever ran a marathon will tell you that you don't go from couch potato to marathon runner in ten weeks with under 8 minute mile pace. Its not just strength and mental toughness. The bones and joints need time to strengthen before the body can push that hard and it takes time - lots of time. The only thing a rookie will accomplish doing this is a stress fracture and shin splints.
Definately My marathon pb is still super slow at 4:03 my 1/2 mara pb is 1:44 and ive done quite a few my first marathon as an adult was after a 16 week training program put together for me by an former elite runner and that was after a few years of 10 k and 1/2 marathon trail runs You dont just decide to run a marathon with a few weeks training with zero endurance base
Right! I've been running for almost 2 years now and just recently started marathon training and getting ready to run a marathon, I estimate my pace will be like 9:30 per mile for a marathon. What was your pace?
No offense to her, but I'm p sure she gets paid to do this and therefore has a lot of time to spare. She also has a private trainer planning everything else out for her.
She did Other sports besote, her body is in shape so is “easier”. I began to train 2 years ago and I am very slow, but my boyfriend did a lot of sports all his life and is very fast, he could do all faster and better... is the muscular memory and previous training
She definitely is. There's no way an ordinary person goes from not running to running 45-70 miles a week. There are elite runners that don't do more than 70 miles a week. That being said, her time was 3:30, not 3 hrs, and 3 hrs is a FAR cry from 3:30.
Watched this two months ago, longest run was almost 2 miles and it almost killed me. Now I am up to five miles three times a week and am training for a 10k. So thanks for that!!
IM A WARRIOR train everyday but have some rest either 1-2 days should be good watch out for injuries that will slow you down, never stop running for a week you will lose progress than what you’ve gain,
@@godlytime1093 last year, I made the mistake of running every day with only 1 day of rest. I would run two miles each day. I began to get a sharp pain on my right glute. So recently I've been reseting 2-3 days . And I've also incorporated unilateral leg workouts
Can we just talk about how she didnt even think she could finish but she did so good she qualified for one of the most pristegious marathons out there? Talk about inspiration.
I don't think Michelle gives herself enough credit. She proves how amazing of an athlete she is every video, and this video exemplifies that! And she stays so humble about all of her many accomplishments!
Even me. I started crying. I'm toying with the idea of doing a half marathon having started running last year and I felt SO MANY FEELINGS watching this
There is a saying in my family, 'Be brave no matter what life throws at you' I myself don't have much courage but hey more power to the runners, dreamers, record makers, and record breakers. I'll see you soon and thank you to the people who inspired me.
she became taller, her hair became more voluminous, her skin went golden and beautiful, and she smiled. I wanna run a marathon now lmao. but seriously she did amazing out there im really proud. this is one of buzzfeeds gems i really loved this.
Sorry to ruin your dreams but buzzfeed not only photoshops the final result, they take the photos and try to make them look scrawny and pale. Running has a whole lot of benefits don’t get me wrong. But the pictures were altered
Everyone has a different ability level. I've ran 2 marathons with more training than the girl in this video and haven't managed a time even close to hers, she's just naturally a very good athlete! Be proud of your own achievements. :)
Who cares! At least your training...Rome wasn’t built in a day, your still doing more than most people so keep up the good effort and don’t be hard on yourself!
Years ago, I watched this and cheered you on not knowing anything about running. Today, I'm 3 months away from my first marathon and crying with you. Even years later, I'm still so proud of you!
@@YuhHuhNuhUh Thanks for asking! It went so well, I made it through with just light soreness after. Which is crazy because I was told I would never be able to run it in the first place due to a heart condition. Officially a marathoner!
This is probably the best buzzfeed video I've ever watched. Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing the personal struggles you faced. I'm so inspired by your determination. That cookie smile at the end was adorable!
This is hands down my all time favorite Buzzfeed video. Watching Michelle always give her best in every video she's in just makes me happy and it's just so hard not to smile.
I ran my very first half-marathon today, after being a couch potato 5 months ago. This is the first video I went to, and it brought tears again. I've never had so much emotion come over me all at once, I absolutely bawled when I met my husband at the finish line. What an inspiration you are ❤
Everyone who is saying why is she crying.... i GET why shes crying and im no nowhere near fit (18 min a mile), but when you push yourself to do something that your mind and body might be telling you otherwise, its hard but so rewarding. Try loosing 30 lbs or try having at least a personal training 3 days a week for a month. You only get a small taste of what shes having. So i APPLAUD her. Challenging your own self is hard cause you are your own supporter and critic at the same time.
fyrick24 Why the hell would it be a woman thing? It's just emotionally stressful and exhausting--especially if you're doing it for this long. It's a mental stress such as much as a physical one. Normally, you'd just avoid the problem and take take a moment but she had to do this for ten weeks straight without pause. Factor in all the exhaustion...
I like the feeling afterwards. It feels a bit like an orgasm but much stronger. It sounds funny. But that's how it is. And sometimes while you're running you feel like you could run forever and you feel strong and happy. But unfortunately this didn't happen to me for a very long time.
KawaiiKitty Drawings I'm gunna have to agree seeing Michelle pass the finish line I actually cried it was a happy moment for her but I was so happy she didn't give up!!
Don’t feel bad if you want to quit while running! I come from a family of runners, I love to run half marathons with my dad, and when I’m 16 I want to run a full. My mom loves to run full marathons and has dreamt to run the Boston Marathon. It took her three years to qualify, starting off amateur with 5K. After going through overtraining, not safe coaches, mental breakdowns on runs and races, even dropping out of races she was trying to qualify for, she qualified. After that, I learned it’s ok to have breakdowns, because that is what pushes you to move forward. I hope you read this! Thx!
Her saying that she finnaly realized why she was doing the marathon after people asked her why is she even doing it, messed me up.... "I am doing this race for me" I love it.
This video is extremely misleading. FYI She's a lifelong athlete. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go out and think that you can run 5 miles, let alone 45 in a week like she did if you don't have a high base level of fitness. You will get injured. Badly.
Yes she is an athlete but plenty of people without training have run a marathon. Is it the best decision? No, training makes it safer and better but people have done it
@@Scurvywormstudios Unless you have good fitness there's zero chance the average person (even above average person) could even walk 26.2 miles let alone run it. The people that do a marathon with zero training are usually already in ok shape and sometimes in phenomenal shape. Just because they didn't specifically train for endurance running doesn't mean that a lot of their prior training can't carry over. Most of the people in my small work group couldn't even run for a solid mile until they trained for few weeks. These weren't overweight people either, but they were pretty average levels of fitness. After 6 months or so they could easily do 10k races and probably at that point some of them may have been able to do a marathon on a whim. Even then that's unlikely.
As some who sucks at running, i can tell you without a doubt us beginners physically can’t run 5 miles without mainly walking, while we could injure ourselves we definitely aren’t signing up for a marathon lol, the only reason i could see for needing a disclaimer about her being an athlete is to not give people unrealistic expectations and the risk of overworking yourself.
I used to climb 58 floors up by stairs (my apartment building has 29 floors with each floor seperated by 18 stairs) everyday which I slowly increased till i stopped on 174 floors. After a certain point, there were diminishing returns to going for more floors so I switched to going to the high intensity stuff in the gym.
Stacy if your REALLY that out of shape your cutting your life span , at the very least your cutting your USEFUL life span (we can keep folks alive...but being on 20 grand of meds and unable to get off the pot isnt much fun...) I just had a scare with my blood sugar and abdominal fat...it really doesnt take much excercise to put years more movement in your life. :)
One thing that always keeps me running is to remind myself that all pain is temporary. It makes me feel strong even if I'm hurting because I know that in however much time it takes, I won't feel the pain anymore.
for all the people who are asking why she is crying...she just ran a FREAKING MARATHON!! her body and mind is EXHAUSTED and she is proud. in ten weeks she ran a marathon y'all would be crying too
Also combine that with the realization that she just completed what so little people have the mental and physical control to accomplish, I’d be so proud and pained and confused and in shock I’d start sobbing. She’s a human, it’s completely normal to cry when you feel that much emotion.
I honestly believe anyone can do a marathon. I’m so proud of Michelle for completing one and even doing so with an amazing race time (3 hours is really fast). I’ve completed 7 LA Marathons by jogging and fast walking and I am a REALLY slow runner. My PR is 6 hours. It really depends on your mindset since “average” people tend to finish around 5-7 hours. Some just speed walk the whole thing and hit 7 hours. So if you’re considering doing the marathon but think it’s too difficult, it’s not. The race itself is painful if you’re not used to that type of pain but it is possible. The feeling you get when you finish the race is what pushes me to participate every year. 🙌🏼
Congratulations to you 'simplmaci' but "PURISTS' would congratulate Michelle for running the marathon not walking/running as a lot of 'marathon' joggers do it. Personally I would not dream of ever running a marathon, however, if i did do it I would prefer to run the whole distance in 4 hours at the most.
That PR or personal best of 6 hours is OK for a normal runner, I am training to run all the way a 5k race, I have already done it by walking/jogging in 41 minutes, but to qualify I must RUN it all the way, OK if I run/jog slowly I might do in in about 38 minutes. Your time of 6 hours for that marathon corresponds to 42m 43seconds for a 5k, or 3 hours for a half marathon, on average as you say for anyone doing a full distance marathon I have no intention of running a half or full marathon but MIGHT consider doing a 10k IF I get through this 5k training program
It's ok friend. You're in your own journey. Don't ever compare yourself to others, you need to simply complete against yourself. In other words: this week your goal is to run a mile in under 10. Next week your goal is to run a mile in under 9 mins 55 seconds. Or to run 1 and a half miles and don't time yourself, just try to go further. Competing against other people before you've even gotten started is a great way to feel defeated and give up. You got this Try to enjoy it.
R.P.F. Purple she must have done running in the past or at school. She ran 5 miles on the first day including sprints. There is no way you can do that if you haven’t run quite a lot before. This was also reflected in her half marathon time. Most people start 1-2 miles and just build up.
Just don't try following this plan. It's ridiculous and only works for her because she was already a professional athlete going in. Pretty irresponsible video not stating that.
Sarp Bozkurt soo trueew I mean like she had to go through the pain during the training, even though she had a choice of quitting she didn't and concern of her bikes getting stolen 😢😢😢
Her running stride is short and fast. I’m a very heavy and muscular and had to change my stride because I used to get shin splints all the time. Got a running coach and I was striding way too long causing more impact. I switched to “hamster wheel” strides and no more injuries.
@@motoknivesandgunsbyjt Halfway through my first marathon, I switched over to this style of running by default and it has helped so much. More of a hamster wheel shuffle. Less impact, less energy wasted.
My uncle has ran 12 marathons and he has 8% vision! He will be running Berlin trying to get to Tokyo Paralympics!!!🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 Please try to get this to 1k likes it would mean the world to me!!
i’m crying so hard like now. like the moment when she passes that goal line is just so fucking emotional and i deeply want to feel like that one day, too. has to be incredible.
I love her trainer! Such a great coach. She is doing sooooo amazingly! I cried too when she crossed the finish line. Really inspirational. Going to do this.
I've ran many marathons. And there is an adrenaline rush that you get. You feel like your flying running in the morning. Just the experience and everything about it is so great. I'm telling you, I was a fat little couch potato for so long, I thought I'd never run a 5k. But here I am. You can do it too.
I've ran a 5k too! During it you feel tired and worn out but the people cheering you on make you go faster and faster. The feeling afterwards is so great
She ran in the top 3% (631/18,892) of all runners and the top .8% (67/7962) of women. Clearly she either has elite level genetics OR she was doing some form of training before which she may not have realized was training her aerobic system.
@@jessslater3948 a pro? So I guess then most of the video was more acting than anything else. An average person can also not run a half marathon in 1:37 with just a few weeks of training XD
It seems she is already super athletic before this, just not into running. Her stats could qualify for Boston Marathon while some had to train longer. Good for her.
@@ipromisethatserendipityisa9656 Some tell she was a professional road cyclist. Besides all built aerobic capacity, it's still very impressive: many cyclists can't run due to knee pain at even 5k distance.
I did. Literally just started running less than two weeks ago after a very long break from running. Ran 8 of the last 10 days. Hoping to run a half marathon towards the end of the year and maybe a marathon next year.
Your video is so motivational! I feel like people underestimate running, especially when we’re in a society where lifting/cross fit is the cool thing to do. You’re so awesome!
@@anthonyhutchins2300 . The point is that she's not some rookie when she can run 7.5 average minute miles in a half marathon after only 5 weeks of training. The whole video is fake.
@@isabelleabt5827 .I mean that the concept of a rookie non runner doing a half marathon in 5 weeks then a marathon in another 5 weeks while running under 8 minute miles is a little ridiculous. She's not a rookie.
Ayesha Gajrè I’m just confused why they weren’t inside her apartment, I’d never leave my bike locked outside overnight, I try to not leave it locked outside for longer then 10 minutes lol.
Ayesha Gajrè yeah but stealing a bike off the street is common, stealing it from within someone’s house is not as that is a whole extra laundry list of felonies. Also, I think she would have mentioned if her house was broken into (while she was sleeping!) IE. home invasion, and a lot more then just her bikes would have been stolen...
If you’re a cyclist, a bicycle to you is a prized possession. So much happiness, freedom, pain, and time is through that simple machine. It’s absolutely devastating.
Her: "the best part of this challenge hands down is getting to eat a lot of food" Me: "OMG yes! cinnamon rolls, ice cream, bananas foster" Her: "chicken, rice, spaghetti squash" Me: :I
I love this so much. Michelle is amazing. She did such an amazing job. I have loved her in every video that she's been in but this video made me cry because of how wonderful it was.
This was really impressive - both in terms of the achievement and the clip covering it. The subject matter was interesting, but Michelle's raw and honest footage captured some powerful and obviously painful moments that made for a particularly captivating and emotional video.
@@AyudhDhupar Yeah, I'm getting there! I'm doing the c25k program and I'm on week 6 out of 9. Can't wait to get there! I've already been able to run 2 miles.
Yay for running!!! I’m 12 year old, and run a 5k race every weekend. I’m training for a 10k, soon a half marathon, and then, the final marathon. Running is great!
I am 11 and I like running, I just don't like after the run. Like running itself is fine but after I am so tired and I feel exhausted, but I still like it. I don't play any sports with a lot of running, but I do play softball, and all you have to do is run bases 😂
Impressive. But she's obviously in really good shape before this challenge started. Because there's no way in hell a completely untrained person runs a half marathon with a 7:28 pace and a marathon with a 8:01 pace after 6 and 10 weeks of training.
True. This dangerous because it encourages people to overdo it too soon. She is young, she is healthy, she was fit when she started, and I don't believe she was a novice runner. Go to any running coach or pro - they all can't be wrong, and they ALL recommend not increasing mileage more than 10% per week.
+Kelley Great points! Did u know that she is on other videos? There is one where she was a Victoria's Secret model for 5 weeks, this whole thing is a scam.
She was a competitive cyclist. She's mentioned this before. She's not new to exercise. She literally competed in cycling events so it's no surprise she did well with running.
I'm 100% sure that that person was already an athlete. You don't go from running 0 miles to running 40+ miles a week without being an athlete. This seems like bs. Also it's still pretty much a miracle they didn't get injured.
Ok I know this isn't the most recent video and no one will see this but this is just so beautiful. I've had to go through so many struggles with my personal life and school and everything for as long as I can remember. When I got to middle school I started track and it took away the pain of everything else. A distraction. Running has gotten me through so much and I know the pain of marathons just like the pain that life gives you. But if you set it no matter how far out you can reach any goal. This was such an inspirational video. Thank you.❤❤❤
I know exactly what you mean, I've been suffering from depression for a while and my doctor suggested I take up running, it makes me feel so much better, makes me believe that my life is worth living and that I'm going to get through the day. more power to you dear holosexual 😃😃
This is why I love following Michelle on her challenges. Her emotions are so raw and real. Its shows truthfully the entire journey of how she got to where she is at. Thank you, Michelle! You're an inspiration for me and I get so motivated when I watch your videos!
I watched this video about three months ago. I couldn’t run a mile without stopping every minute. It’s been about three months and I’ve ran about 10 5Ks, and was finally able to run 4 miles without stopping about a week ago. I’m rewatching this to hype me up for my run today, and aiming for 4.5 miles. Thank you for being an inspiration for so many beginners getting into fitness!!

I feel like she should have highlighted the fact that she partly did so well bc she’s an ex-pro cyclist. People might think it’s normal to be able to do this intensity this quickly, not realizing they will likely get hurt. It’s also not normal for most to be able to do such a fast time in their first marathon
Exactly. I was like wtf. I didnt know this before reading the comments and I was like the hell. Made me undermine my own efforts in running.
Agreed, can be very discouraging to new runners.
yeah. only 5 weeks and HM time 1,5 hours is already mindblowing for a full newbie
The whole thing is staged for views and likes. Anyone who has ever ran a marathon will tell you that you don't go from couch potato to marathon runner in ten weeks with under 8 minute mile pace.

She's already fitter than 90% of people if she can jump straight in to 40 miles a week.... I got shin splints doing 10 miles a week... smh
Same king same
Do more focused stretches, but most importantly buy yourself a foam massage roller.. You can thank me later :-)
yeah no kidding i got shin splints too after just running like 2km a day
Shin splints are really easy to get and you kinda just have to deal with them. You can try methods but you’ll likely end up dealing with the pain
Shin splints are mostly caused by poor technique over striding,running way to far without any training and wearing cheap poorly fitted shoes
whoever did the editing and the camera work is truly A GIFTED PERSON THIS WAS AMAZING
Like Brendon on Logan Paul’s vlog
i'm pretty sure video producers in buzzfeed have to do everything for his/her videos
in other words, i think she edited this herself

but seriously she did amazing out there im really proud.

Damon Vasiliw how can you judge a human being that you don't even know? No one was asking for your opinion.
This and the MMA one! I cried
This is hands down my all time favorite Buzzfeed video. Watching Michelle always give her best in every video she's in just makes me happy and it's just so hard not to smile.

Allison C she works out normally and is very fit :)
Allison C I started like that lol
But now i can run for 1 hour

she's a cyclist so is used to doing steady cardio
Allison C literly meeeee
I ran my very first half-marathon today, after being a couch potato 5 months ago. This is the first video I went to, and it brought tears again. I've never had so much emotion come over me all at once, I absolutely bawled when I met my husband at the finish line. What an inspiration you are ❤
He is such a good trainer you can tell her really cared about her & wanted her to do well
Everyone who is saying why is she crying.... i GET why shes crying and im no nowhere near fit (18 min a mile), but when you push yourself to do something that your mind and body might be telling you otherwise, its hard but so rewarding. Try loosing 30 lbs or try having at least a personal training 3 days a week for a month. You only get a small taste of what shes having. So i APPLAUD her. Challenging your own self is hard cause you are your own supporter and critic at the same time.
Do you walk your mile?
Lauren Fennelly did u like ur own comment?
Crawl.
fyrick24 Why the hell would it be a woman thing? It's just emotionally stressful and exhausting--especially if you're doing it for this long. It's a mental stress such as much as a physical one. Normally, you'd just avoid the problem and take take a moment but she had to do this for ten weeks straight without pause. Factor in all the exhaustion...
fyrick24 Buzzfeed told her to do so to create more drama.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't bawl my fucking eyes out watching this video

Me as a cross country and track runner: running sucks I don’t know why people purposely bring pain to themselves
honestly so true running sucks but I still do it and train
@Gabriel Meireles dang i could never
I relate lol. I admire people that have fun running
I like the feeling afterwards. It feels a bit like an orgasm but much stronger. It sounds funny. But that's how it is. And sometimes while you're running you feel like you could run forever and you feel strong and happy. But unfortunately this didn't happen to me for a very long time.
@Gabriel Meireles thats crazy but I dont remember asking

Akshath Shetty Jordan didn't run a marathom
she cried like six times.
Don’t feel bad if you want to quit while running! I come from a family of runners, I love to run half marathons with my dad, and when I’m 16 I want to run a full. My mom loves to run full marathons and has dreamt to run the Boston Marathon. It took her three years to qualify, starting off amateur with 5K. After going through overtraining, not safe coaches, mental breakdowns on runs and races, even dropping out of races she was trying to qualify for, she qualified. After that, I learned it’s ok to have breakdowns, because that is what pushes you to move forward. I hope you read this! Thx!
@SrtaMelzinha Men between the ages of 18-34 need to run a sub- 3:05 marathon, while women in that age group have to run sub-3:35.

She's the worst. Bad. Acting.

kromezer28 she lost her dog and two expensive bikes, one she was going to donate to someone in need, why would you think this is acting?
This.
kromezer28 how can you say that!!!!
she's running a marathon in only 10 weeks of training and I can't even walk up the stairs.
lexi weems I'll run 2 steps and I'll fall
Izzzy V lol for gym we have to run the mile under 8 minutes
I used to be able to run an 8 minute mile, but now I think I'm at 20 minutes
Believe it or not the times I ran 8 minute miles were when I did band. I played the trombone and I wonder if the breathing helped me do it
I'm not sure about running, but I can walk a mile in about 15-16 minutes.
Her saying that she finnaly realized why she was doing the marathon after people asked her why is she even doing it, messed me up.... "I am doing this race for me" I love it.
This video is extremely misleading. FYI She's a lifelong athlete. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go out and think that you can run 5 miles, let alone 45 in a week like she did if you don't have a high base level of fitness. You will get injured. Badly.
EXACTLY
Yes she is an athlete but plenty of people without training have run a marathon. Is it the best decision? No, training makes it safer and better but people have done it
@@Scurvywormstudios Unless you have good fitness there's zero chance the average person (even above average person) could even walk 26.2 miles let alone run it.
The people that do a marathon with zero training are usually already in ok shape and sometimes in phenomenal shape. Just because they didn't specifically train for endurance running doesn't mean that a lot of their prior training can't carry over. Most of the people in my small work group couldn't even run for a solid mile until they trained for few weeks. These weren't overweight people either, but they were pretty average levels of fitness. After 6 months or so they could easily do 10k races and probably at that point some of them may have been able to do a marathon on a whim. Even then that's unlikely.
As some who sucks at running, i can tell you without a doubt us beginners physically can’t run 5 miles without mainly walking, while we could injure ourselves we definitely aren’t signing up for a marathon lol, the only reason i could see for needing a disclaimer about her being an athlete is to not give people unrealistic expectations and the risk of overworking yourself.
I was crying when you crossed the finish line. Thank you for letting us share this with you.
Oh my gosh! I cried too!!!
I cried too!! It was emotional
Me too but I'm a big baby so my girl friend says

I used to climb 58 floors up by stairs (my apartment building has 29 floors with each floor seperated by 18 stairs) everyday which I slowly increased till i stopped on 174 floors. After a certain point, there were diminishing returns to going for more floors so I switched to going to the high intensity stuff in the gym.

if your REALLY that out of shape your cutting your life span , at the very least your cutting your USEFUL life span (we can keep folks alive...but being on 20 grand of meds and unable to get off the pot isnt much fun...) I just had a scare with my blood sugar and abdominal fat...it really doesnt take much excercise to put years more movement in your life. :)
One thing that always keeps me running is to remind myself that all pain is temporary. It makes me feel strong even if I'm hurting because I know that in however much time it takes, I won't feel the pain anymore.
Amen brother
That's a nice thought. Not true for a lot of people though, because of chronic pain conditions
all pain is not temporary, you will find out the hard way down the road lol
for all the people who are asking why she is crying...she just ran a FREAKING MARATHON!! her body and mind is EXHAUSTED and she is proud. in ten weeks she ran a marathon y'all would be crying too
Also combine that with the realization that she just completed what so little people have the mental and physical control to accomplish, I’d be so proud and pained and confused and in shock I’d start sobbing. She’s a human, it’s completely normal to cry when you feel that much emotion.
Not to mention those ENDORPHINS!! Its the best part of running 😁❤️

She’s pretty fit! The half marathon time is pretty good already
Yes, that's what I was thinking. Her pace was amazing.
Shes extremely fit. I was impressed
I honestly believe anyone can do a marathon. I’m so proud of Michelle for completing one and even doing so with an amazing race time (3 hours is really fast).
I’ve completed 7 LA Marathons by jogging and fast walking and I am a REALLY slow runner. My PR is 6 hours. It really depends on your mindset since “average” people tend to finish around 5-7 hours. Some just speed walk the whole thing and hit 7 hours.
So if you’re considering doing the marathon but think it’s too difficult, it’s not. The race itself is painful if you’re not used to that type of pain but it is possible. The feeling you get when you finish the race is what pushes me to participate every year. 🙌🏼
simplymaci I
Congratulations to you 'simplmaci' but "PURISTS' would congratulate Michelle for running the marathon not walking/running as a lot of 'marathon' joggers do it. Personally I would not dream of ever running a marathon, however, if i did do it I would prefer to run the whole distance in 4 hours at the most.
Except me lol
That PR or personal best of 6 hours is OK for a normal runner, I am training to run all the way a 5k race, I have already done it by walking/jogging in 41 minutes, but to qualify I must RUN it all the way, OK if I run/jog slowly I might do in in about 38 minutes. Your time of 6 hours for that marathon corresponds to 42m 43seconds for a 5k, or 3 hours for a half marathon, on average as you say for anyone doing a full distance marathon
I have no intention of running a half or full marathon but MIGHT consider doing a 10k IF I get through this 5k training program
Paraplegics cannot do a marathon.
Her: “I’m not a runner”
Proceeds to run 5 miles at an incredible pace her first day while I struggle to run two 8 min miles consecutively
*face palm*
She isn’t unfit lol. Whenever I want to run fast I have a Sapporo before and after a run
She used to be a pro cyclist so don’t feel too bad
When i was on a swim team a friend and i did a half triathlon with no additional training besides swim practice, it was miserable but doable
She ran the LA Marathon. Her bib number started with a letter, which means she had a qualifying time from a prior marathon. This entire story is fake.
@@jenniferslovejoy5420 letters are also used in events to notify people of runners with medical conditions
And I’m here trying to run just one mile in under 10 minutes 😩
Me too 😭
im down to 12:45 from the 16:40 it takes me to walk a mile. good luck buddy
It's ok friend. You're in your own journey. Don't ever compare yourself to others, you need to simply complete against yourself. In other words: this week your goal is to run a mile in under 10. Next week your goal is to run a mile in under 9 mins 55 seconds. Or to run 1 and a half miles and don't time yourself, just try to go further.
Competing against other people before you've even gotten started is a great way to feel defeated and give up.
You got this
Try to enjoy it.
I know, same, I’ve been training for 4 weeks and I’m still running like a 17 min mile:/

Get a grip of life then, eat healthy, walk once a week. Jesus Christ, what’s hard about 5 miles.
R.P.F. Purple she must have done running in the past or at school. She ran 5 miles on the first day including sprints. There is no way you can do that if you haven’t run quite a lot before. This was also reflected in her half marathon time. Most people start 1-2 miles and just build up.

Her running stride is short and fast. I’m a very heavy and muscular and had to change my stride because I used to get shin splints all the time. Got a running coach and I was striding way too long causing more impact. I switched to “hamster wheel” strides and no more injuries.

She ran in the top 3% (631/18,892) of all runners and the top .8% (67/7962) of women. Clearly she either has elite level genetics OR she was doing some form of training before which she may not have realized was training her aerobic system.
Apparently she’s an ex-procyclist

Olivia Beakman shes a bicycle pro athelete so she needs good quality bikes that means they must be expensive so im not surprised shes upset
Ayesha Gajrè I’m just confused why they weren’t inside her apartment, I’d never leave my bike locked outside overnight, I try to not leave it locked outside for longer then 10 minutes lol.
omgurheadsgone i guess they probably broke in i mean they are *robbers* maybe they were protected by bicycle locks ,those arent that hard to break
Ayesha Gajrè yeah but stealing a bike off the street is common, stealing it from within someone’s house is not as that is a whole extra laundry list of felonies. Also, I think she would have mentioned if her house was broken into (while she was sleeping!) IE. home invasion, and a lot more then just her bikes would have been stolen...
If you’re a cyclist, a bicycle to you is a prized possession. So much happiness, freedom, pain, and time is through that simple machine. It’s absolutely devastating.

Impressive. But she's obviously in really good shape before this challenge started. Because there's no way in hell a completely untrained person runs a half marathon with a 7:28 pace and a marathon with a 8:01 pace after 6 and 10 weeks of training.
+vLarsn So agree with you, something is not right!
True. This dangerous because it encourages people to overdo it too soon. She is young, she is healthy, she was fit when she started, and I don't believe she was a novice runner. Go to any running coach or pro - they all can't be wrong, and they ALL recommend not increasing mileage more than 10% per week.
+Kelley Great points! Did u know that she is on other videos? There is one where she was a Victoria's Secret model for 5 weeks, this whole thing is a scam.
vLarsn she does a lot of fitness work but most of it is weights not running so it's just her natural fitness level helping her out

I watched this video about three months ago. I couldn’t run a mile without stopping every minute. It’s been about three months and I’ve ran about 10 5Ks, and was finally able to run 4 miles without stopping about a week ago. I’m rewatching this to hype me up for my run today, and aiming for 4.5 miles. Thank you for being an inspiration for so many beginners getting into fitness!!
