“i feel like i have runner’s lung failure” LITERALLY!! at this point i feel like everyone is lying about runner’s high bc all i ever feel is the desire to never run again 😭
I think runner's high is real, but probably over hyped, at least from my personal experience. Also I think some people get a hefty endorphin rush from exercising and some people ... don't. Like at all. So it's always a grind for them. Pursue the movement and exercise you enjoy most! 🙌🏽
As someone who LOVES running, if I don't run for a week. It will take me about 3 weeks of daily running before it gets back to being fun again. When I'm running consistently it's great and I enjoy it. But anything more than a couples days off before the next run and it's awful again. Your body is happy to be still. Because it doesn't have to work. So when you go from a long time of it being use to being still, it freaks out when you decide to start moving it again. I just finished a 5k this morning. And I'm feeling very alert and happy. I wouldn't say it's a "high," but I think it's a great start to my day.
I've been running since 2018 and before the pandemic I used to live for it and I would get that runners high fast but post pandemic it was soooo hard getting back into running. It still is, but now I have to run 4 miles to feel that high.
As someone who genuinely loves running and has just run a marathon my top tips are: 1. Run way slower than you think, it’s more of a jog, and also start off slow even if you feel like sprinting at the beginning, because if you start off too fast you’ll be in pain for the rest of the run. 2. Electrolytes are key, so much more important than you might think. 3. Stretch!!! 4. Watch videos of people running before running, this has worked to motivate me. Wish you the best of luck and also if you don’t really enjoy running after this whole journey there are so many other ways to improve your cardiovascular health, arguably even walking is more beneficial, and you don’t need to run if you don’t fancy it in my opinion, it’s not for everyone xx
I am also someone who genuinely LOVES running! I just finished my first race ever which was actually a half marathon. I had tried running multiple times in the past and it just felt too difficult. I thought I knew how because I used to run track but only short distance. Running long distance is jogging it’s NOT sprinting (at least at the start and where I’m at). These tips that you listed are what’s helped me follow through with running this time around! I would just add to focus on your breathing. Make sure you are breathing through your nose. If you feel like you’re struggling to breathe, slow down! Do box breathing (4x4) to catch your breath. Also, (if you have a watch) check your pace and keep it consistent. If you’re someone who is trying it out, you can totally do it! Just be patient and stay consistent!
@@Nanakimdakweenif it’s a long run, especially a race, I will take electrolytes in my water bottle along with me (especially in spring or summer), and also I take gels which have electrolytes in them during a long run, but I will always have some after every run (even short ones), since your electrolyte levels have been depleted after sweating and exerting yourself, which makes me feel light headed and muscle crampy. I don’t think it’s that deep just take them when it’s convenient to you and even just adding salt to your water (no I’m not joking) does the trick.
Running is honestly SO hard to get into! It sounds easy because all you need is a path and some shoes, but it's a seriously mental thing. You feel like you're not making progress at first. The hardest thing I had to learn was to give myself some grace. Some days I can run 5k without walking, other days it's half a mile. Above all, you've just gotta get out and do it. Best of luck with your journey Susie! ❤❤ Also seriously loved that intro!!
This is such good advice! I started running in February, and it’s a journey every day. Running has taught me a lot about my mental health, and that if I don’t have a good run today, that doesn’t mean I won’t have a good run tomorrow. The same can be said about anything! Some days it’s hard and feels like shit and some days it’s easier than you think and feels soooo good.
I agree i started running February 2023 and only did it cuz my bf started. He went from not being able to run a mile to running 10miles in 4months. During that time i was still struggling to run 1mile without resting. He told me to just go slow and be consistent. 6months later i was running 5k in 34mins! My progress was a lot slower than his but hes way taller and im quite short.
As someone who IS a cardio girlie, like I truly hate weightlifting so much but I love HIIT workouts and runs, you're spot on about the pace. Especially as the intervals get longer, you have to pace yourself so you don't burn out right at the beginning! I also like to be super controlled, almost robotic with my breathing, that gives me something to focus on and kind of gives me that feeling of dissociating until the run is over. I find it super fun and it's one of the only things that helps me manage my anxiety disorder.
Running has helped me so much with my mental health and overall energy. Finding something that is not only good for your body but also good for your brain like running or walking is invaluable!
Always hated running but started running in December last year because my anxiety is trying to become president of my fantasy life, so it has helped me a LOT to link running to relaxation, to better sleep, getting a sweat and I swear that most my runs start by me saying “I’m going to buy some happy hormones” and then coming back with them so I guess it works lol, keep running so I know I’m not running alone 🥰❤️
I started running last summer and all my life I hated it. But after I stopped worrying about pace, distance and if it makes me skinnier it began to bring me joy. I already saw the videos of susie on instagram and think susie is so relatable 😂 I love her and her videos. If you read this susie I’m so proud of you and thanks for sharing your honest journey it’s hilerious to watch❤
Ive never came across a more down to earth, comforting RUclipsr. Susie has been my number 1 favorite RUclipsr for three years now and has got me through a lot, and always puts a smile on my face even in bad days, and as a teenager its very important to have someone to look up to.So glad its you Susie. Thank you so much Susie for being you!!!!!!!!
"I'm supposed to be going at a conversational pace. I don't think this is a conversational pace for me." Lol this gave me a good laugh as a girly who also hates cardio but really needs to get on it for a plethora of reasons. Also *insert running emoji* (I'm watching on my computer at work)
I’ve been running for the past three weeks too!! It feels so good that I’m not the only one that can barely get through the first two minutes of a run! But I am making progress, been doing a mile nonstop and I’m super proud of myself!! Thank you for this video Susie!!! Love you from Texas 🩷
i have been WAITING for this video u don't understand 😤 also highkey inspirational that u posted this as I'm starting a little running journey myself hehehe🤭 loved it sm!!🥰
Hi, I just have to say that video means a lot for me. This is the first time when i see a girl, with a close body type to mine starting her running journey. Girl, you made me feel seen and understood with my struggling. Can’t wait for the moment I’m gonna start running again! Thank you Susie!!!!
as someone who has binged fitness vids in the depths of ed/hating their body, it is so nice what you said about bodies fluctuating throughout the day and not including weights or measurements in this vid, thank you bc those words can mean so much to ppl going through it❤
Omg susie I cannot tell u how much you have BOOSTED my self confidence 😭😭 I literally binge all ur vids even when I’m working out lmao . Ily so much girlie and thank u for always being encouraging, entertaining, STUNNING AS ALWAYS, and such an inspiration 🤭💕💕
I've always said I wanted to get into running and never did and after seeing you post about it a few weeks ago I gave it a go and I'm enjoying it so much! Helps so much with my anxiety.
Ive been debating starting to run, and I’ve been walking a lot, but I think you’ve just inspired me to also start running even if it’s just a couple days a week! Go Susie! Can’t wait to see you reach your 5k goal! 💕💕💕
what really helped me with running is getting stronger legs and core (basically just stronger muscles over all ) also getting your posture right makes SUCH a difference !!
My biggest tip for those starting out with running is to keep your heart rate at 130-145 BPM (for fat burning) or generally between 130-160 BPM so that you can still talk and you're not about to pass out from lack of oxygen🙃 But this also means that you have to run really slowly and some people walk even faster than you run. I started running again 2 weeks ago and was able to run 5k at this pace on my first run without taking a break. I was doing everything wrong before and couldn't even run 1 kilometer without being completely exhausted. I have the feeling that I could even run 10 kilometers with this method now, because running at this heart rate doesn't exhaust me. I hope I can help someone with this :)
🏃♀i wish i was as alive as you, im struggling right now but seeing you out there smiling and pushing yourself makes me feel a little more motivated so thank you for being you Susie 💗
I really apreciate the clarifacation between a fitness challenge and weight loss challenge! You are such an inspiration, keep going we beleive in you!!!
So i used to be a runner for a long time but since going through grad school and some family stuff I had switched to weight training but now im slowly getting back to running! It just makes me so confident and really clears my mind when im stressed! Great job Susie! I think you’ll be happily surprised how great you feel as you continue to run! So proud of you ❤
I was just praying that another Susie video will be up when i open RUclips and behold here it is!! Super excited for your videos, thank you for posting Susie!! ❤️❤️
Thinking that I've been consistently running for 30 to 35 minutes straight every week and hitting the gym with enthusiasm to lift weights for a whole year now ALL THANKS TO YOU and now seeing you trying to run a 5k is simply mind-blowing to me, its like... thank you Susie for making me this joyful in my life through sports and I'm cheering so much for you ! (You'll soon experience the runner's high, believe me. I started with just 1 minute of running, then progressed to 5, then 10... until I reached 30 minutes. Now, I absolutely love running, so I'm confident you'll experience the same exhilarating rush :* ) Thank you for everything !!
Girl, I hated running just a few years ago! And now I miss it the day I can't go for a run 😂 I think when you have an external goal (you with the challenge, for myself it was running with & for my dog 🐕) it helps. It's not just you, it's a form of accountability! You're doing great! Can't wait to see the evolution of this journey, no matter which way it goes! 🏃🏻♀️
I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago and I literally can’t get enough of you 😭 I love your humour, motivation and confidence. It’s contagious af. Tbh you’re now one of my 2 favourite RUclipsrs and I want to thank you for all the hard work. YOU GO GIRL!!!
The kid in the back at 12:12 😂 Running is hard to get back into. I started out walking for 15 minutes a few months ago. Now I can run longer, it started out with my wanting to feel better for myself and to hopefully breathe better. I don’t do it every day, probably just 2-4 days a week, depends on my schedule, for 20 minutes. Seeing this video brought me back on how I felt at first. proud of you! 😊
You are awesome girl...and so damn relatable. That feeling of embarrassment before starting, I totally get that. I'm not trying the running, but I am trying to be that 5:30get up girl, which you inspired me to do. I've done it for a week now and been easing myself into exercise in the morning and generally trying to eat healthier...again not to lose weight or anything, just to be a healthier person and to make myself feel good. So thank you for all your real girl videos ❤❤❤
🏃🏻♀️➡️, this encouraged me to get back into running as I just started my fitness journey, I love seeing you push yourself and having Murray alongside you is really great!
I tried couch to 5k a couple years ago and gave up, but lately im trying to go walking every day so maybe i can work up to running again. Love you susie, youre the best youtuber to eat breakfast to ❤️
Susie you are so lovable. Your personality is so lovely, youre hilarious, witty, and so gorgeous. Ofc we don’t know what youre like irl but I imagine you are just as beautiful inside and out as you appear to be in your videos. Im obsessed with your wellness content. I have been watching you for 4 years and I feel so inspired to move after every video :)
You are an inspiration to me Susie! I've been trying to get into a fitness routine for a while, and then this video came out. Thank you so much for motivating me even if you're on the other side of the globe.
🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ also, youre so inspiring susie, because of you and a few other like body positivity/fitness influencers I follow, I started running again and I probably wouldn't have if I didn't see your tiktok journey, so thank you. I've been going i think since around when you started, and im up to running 4ks without really stopping. Youve got this girl, thank you for being you ❤
I love your videos, they always cheer me up and bring a calm vibe into my day. You taught me to be kind to myself and not get discouraged even if I feel down. Every video of yours is a small kind reminder of that. Thank you! Also, just lovely to see you and your progress in general 😊😊 ❤❤
🏃♀Girl you got this, I started Couch To 5K in June 2023, and now Ive done 5 half marathon's and signed up for my first FULL MARATHON in October 2024. I could hardly run for 1 minute at the very start, and here I am. I made it, I LOVE running now. I HIGHLY recommend joining a running group if you can, it changed my entire motivation and enjoyment for sure. Having people watch your journey and egg you on, supporting and cheering for your every achievement - no matter how small - is so exciting and encouraging :D I'm so proud of you for what you've achieved so far, you totally got this! Smashing it :D Also hiya from a fellow Auzzie :D 🏃♀
🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀ go girl!! I love watching these fitness videos, especially this one as I've just into running myself! thanks for the motivation girl (even tho I ate a whole packet of biscuits watching this oops)💗💗
Are you kidding me! Every spring i get the same feeling that i could be a runner but after few attepts i always give up. This spring (in 🇫🇮) i actually started training for 5k with a program and i'm on week four and still going strong. Love to see you on a same challenge! ❤ So motivating! Go us!
ok this video was fire! LMAO the beginning threwwww meeee i was laughing so hard. And the dancing clips near the end crying! you are too funny i cant! 🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀
I LOVE all of your videos and I love that you show people self love, and body positivity. Every body is different, and I love the fact that you state you should be happy no matter what body you're in 😄🏃🏻♀️
Great job! You always look so gorgeous in all your workout outfits. Running is definitely a mental workout as well as physical. Some days it's hard to get into and others are a breeze. Thanks for sharing this journey
That was so fun to watch 🏃♀️ and thanks for your kind reminder. I really love yiur fitness videos. They gave me so much motivation for my own fitness journey.
Susie!!! 💖 🏃🏻♀️ THANK YOU for being so real and genuine! It makes me want to get back into running! I hated it growing up too but I did it last year for a little and loved it surprisingly enough 😅 seeing this video has reignited that spark to try it again!! Also, the end with your behind the scenes made me smile, thank you for that! 😂🫶🏻
Okay, I was playing with the thought of trying to FINALLY make myself into a runner after many failed attempts, because lately my stamina is NOT it, now I don’t have any excuse not to, that app looks helpful AF 😂 thank u queen for the constant spurs of motivation ❤🏃🏼♀️
I also started running a couple of weeks earlier. I used to absolutely HATE running, like I would call in sick at school if there was something with running. But now I can fairly comfortably run 30mins and I am enjoying it. Am I running slower than a grandma carrying groceries? yes! But I am having fun and thats what matters. Such a good lesson to learn to enjoy it no matter what pace you're going and don't worry what others might think about it... because the truth is, they won't think about you at all
nice!! i am (re)starting my running journey too! my goal is also 5k and it feels like i'll never get there lol. when i first starting running in high school i was trying to keep up with one of my track runner friends, and felt like i was sprinting the whole time jsut to keep up with him. couldn't breathe at all. thought that was it for me! i'd never be able to go for a run! slowing down has been the best advice i've ever received. i can run about 3k without stopping now and i'm only stopping because my muscles are getting fatigued rather than my lungs hurting. good luck susie, you've had amazing progress.
you are SUCH an inspiration!! i've stopped running because it's scary to compete with the past version of myself who was really into track 😅 but pilates alone won't cut it lol, thanks for encouraging me to not let the fear of looking silly keep me from changing my life for the better 😊 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
I absolutely adore you!!!! Thank you for always being goofy and loveable. This is exactly the inspiration I need to re-re-re-re......re-start my journey. Keep being happy go lucky and thank you! 🏃💚
I love this!! I also thought i was "not a runner" until i randomly gave it a crack at the start of covid. Within a year I had run a half marathon and last year I ran my first full marathon. You are capable of so much more than you think. Consistency is key!!! ❤
I just started my running journey too! One thing I learned is figuring out your breathing rhythm. For me I breathe in through my nose and then out through my mouth almost like I am blowing bubbles lol. Loved this video because I saw myself in it!♥️
Yayyy!! Awesome job Susie! ✌😄 And it`s so nice to see how you have captured your running challenge in such a real way for us, with all of its ups and downs. So many times people just edit their journey as a pure success story all the way, without any problems on the way.. 😅
“i feel like i have runner’s lung failure” LITERALLY!! at this point i feel like everyone is lying about runner’s high bc all i ever feel is the desire to never run again 😭
I think runner's high is real, but probably over hyped, at least from my personal experience. Also I think some people get a hefty endorphin rush from exercising and some people ... don't. Like at all. So it's always a grind for them. Pursue the movement and exercise you enjoy most! 🙌🏽
Running is not for everyone. Definitely not for me, I prefer walking / power walking. Running is torture for me (even when I was in shape)
As someone who LOVES running, if I don't run for a week. It will take me about 3 weeks of daily running before it gets back to being fun again. When I'm running consistently it's great and I enjoy it. But anything more than a couples days off before the next run and it's awful again. Your body is happy to be still. Because it doesn't have to work. So when you go from a long time of it being use to being still, it freaks out when you decide to start moving it again. I just finished a 5k this morning. And I'm feeling very alert and happy. I wouldn't say it's a "high," but I think it's a great start to my day.
I've been running since 2018 and before the pandemic I used to live for it and I would get that runners high fast but post pandemic it was soooo hard getting back into running. It still is, but now I have to run 4 miles to feel that high.
i’ve only had runners high once, it was like a soft calm wave of relief washing over me and lasted about 20 minutes
Susie is someone who taught me what self love is. I have been watching her for almost 4 years now, and I still get so excited every time she posts 💗💗
🏃🏻♀️
FOR ME 2❤
Omg, me too 😭😭
Me2❤❤❤❤
the couch to 5k program is exactly how I started running, and I just did a half marathon in February! Your doing great Susie!
I forgot that I need more of Susie and her stellar attitude in my life!
this is so cool!
How long had you been running before running the half? Congrats!
How'd the half marathon feel for you?

„I am literally going at a walking pace… but with a little hop✨“ is the best description of my running style i have ever heard😂
The Intro 😭 You’re so creative Susie, you never disappoint!
first!!!

couch to 5k is literally how I started my running journey during quarantine!! now have completed several 10k's :)
How has been your weight loss since you started?
You’re the first influencer I’ve watched whose body matches mine. And it’s just soooo refreshing watching your journey. 💖💖

Thinking that I've been consistently running for 30 to 35 minutes straight every week and hitting the gym with enthusiasm to lift weights for a whole year now ALL THANKS TO YOU and now seeing you trying to run a 5k is simply mind-blowing to me, its like... thank you Susie for making me this joyful in my life through sports and I'm cheering so much for you !
(You'll soon experience the runner's high, believe me. I started with just 1 minute of running, then progressed to 5, then 10... until I reached 30 minutes. Now, I absolutely love running, so I'm confident you'll experience the same exhilarating rush :* )
Thank you for everything !!
Love this your mom laughing at the end is everything 🤍💃🏻🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️🕺🏼
Girl, I hated running just a few years ago! And now I miss it the day I can't go for a run 😂 I think when you have an external goal (you with the challenge, for myself it was running with & for my dog 🐕) it helps. It's not just you, it's a form of accountability!
You're doing great! Can't wait to see the evolution of this journey, no matter which way it goes! 🏃🏻♀️
Your workout vids are always so inspiring, gets me so hyped every time. Thanks Susie!❤
I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago and I literally can’t get enough of you 😭
I love your humour, motivation and confidence. It’s contagious af.
Tbh you’re now one of my 2 favourite RUclipsrs and I want to thank you for all the hard work. YOU GO GIRL!!!
Okay but you look so amazing!!!! Healthy, happy, glowingggg
The kid in the back at 12:12 😂 Running is hard to get back into. I started out walking for 15 minutes a few months ago. Now I can run longer, it started out with my wanting to feel better for myself and to hopefully breathe better. I don’t do it every day, probably just 2-4 days a week, depends on my schedule, for 20 minutes. Seeing this video brought me back on how I felt at first. proud of you! 😊
Just started running and this is the best inspiration for me rn😩❤️❤️
Susieeee I'm so glad you posted!! Def made my day 💗
You are awesome girl...and so damn relatable. That feeling of embarrassment before starting, I totally get that. I'm not trying the running, but I am trying to be that 5:30get up girl, which you inspired me to do. I've done it for a week now and been easing myself into exercise in the morning and generally trying to eat healthier...again not to lose weight or anything, just to be a healthier person and to make myself feel good. So thank you for all your real girl videos ❤❤❤
🏃🏻♀️➡️, this encouraged me to get back into running as I just started my fitness journey, I love seeing you push yourself and having Murray alongside you is really great!
I tried couch to 5k a couple years ago and gave up, but lately im trying to go walking every day so maybe i can work up to running again. Love you susie, youre the best youtuber to eat breakfast to ❤️
Murray is such a great supporter for you!!!
Susie you are so lovable. Your personality is so lovely, youre hilarious, witty, and so gorgeous. Ofc we don’t know what youre like irl but I imagine you are just as beautiful inside and out as you appear to be in your videos. Im obsessed with your wellness content. I have been watching you for 4 years and I feel so inspired to move after every video :)
Can you do just dance for a month?
You are an inspiration to me Susie! I've been trying to get into a fitness routine for a while, and then this video came out. Thank you so much for motivating me even if you're on the other side of the globe.
🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ also, youre so inspiring susie, because of you and a few other like body positivity/fitness influencers I follow, I started running again and I probably wouldn't have if I didn't see your tiktok journey, so thank you. I've been going i think since around when you started, and im up to running 4ks without really stopping. Youve got this girl, thank you for being you ❤
I love your videos, they always cheer me up and bring a calm vibe into my day. You taught me to be kind to myself and not get discouraged even if I feel down. Every video of yours is a small kind reminder of that. Thank you!
Also, just lovely to see you and your progress in general 😊😊 ❤❤
Loving your irregular routine! Honestly, the fact that you keep going regardless inspires me 🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀
🏃♀Girl you got this, I started Couch To 5K in June 2023, and now Ive done 5 half marathon's and signed up for my first FULL MARATHON in October 2024. I could hardly run for 1 minute at the very start, and here I am. I made it, I LOVE running now. I HIGHLY recommend joining a running group if you can, it changed my entire motivation and enjoyment for sure. Having people watch your journey and egg you on, supporting and cheering for your every achievement - no matter how small - is so exciting and encouraging :D
I'm so proud of you for what you've achieved so far, you totally got this! Smashing it :D Also hiya from a fellow Auzzie :D 🏃♀
Love these fitness challenges, it's what originally brought me to your challenge and then I stayed for your sense of humour and honesty
🏃♂️ I love that you give yourself grace to mess up or have time off when you're sick. You're a healthy queen and I love it
A huge transformation on your body and I bet that you feel like a butterfly inside! I love running and you just motivated me to start my own journey
Best fitness challenge yet!!! Can’t wait for part 2 ❤ you seriously make me laugh so much x
You have no idea how much I love watching you! I feel so hyped and confident after watching you ❤
🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀ go girl!! I love watching these fitness videos, especially this one as I've just into running myself! thanks for the motivation girl (even tho I ate a whole packet of biscuits watching this oops)💗💗
ive been watching you since covid susie and like ur the only person who has actually inspired me.
Are you kidding me! Every spring i get the same feeling that i could be a runner but after few attepts i always give up. This spring (in 🇫🇮) i actually started training for 5k with a program and i'm on week four and still going strong. Love to see you on a same challenge! ❤ So motivating! Go us!
16:17 MOTHER QUEEN I LOVE YOU
you inspire me to love every inch of myself and to appreciate my body and its cycles
ok this video was fire! LMAO the beginning threwwww meeee i was laughing so hard. And the dancing clips near the end crying! you are too funny i cant! 🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀🏃🏼♀
🏃♀️ I have been watching you forever and you have helped me gain so much confidence! Thank you!! ☺️
I use to run everyday after school. Definitely was hard at 1st but it gets easier as you keep doing it. Felt energized, healthy & strong.
I LOVE all of your videos and I love that you show people self love, and body positivity. Every body is different, and I love the fact that you state you should be happy no matter what body you're in 😄🏃🏻♀️
Great job! You always look so gorgeous in all your workout outfits. Running is definitely a mental workout as well as physical. Some days it's hard to get into and others are a breeze. Thanks for sharing this journey
That was so fun to watch 🏃♀️ and thanks for your kind reminder. I really love yiur fitness videos. They gave me so much motivation for my own fitness journey.
🏃♀️ you're doing amazing and the meals look amazing too 🥰 so happy to see a long video. Yay‼️😊
Susie!!! 💖 🏃🏻♀️ THANK YOU for being so real and genuine! It makes me want to get back into running! I hated it growing up too but I did it last year for a little and loved it surprisingly enough 😅 seeing this video has reignited that spark to try it again!! Also, the end with your behind the scenes made me smile, thank you for that! 😂🫶🏻
Okay, I was playing with the thought of trying to FINALLY make myself into a runner after many failed attempts, because lately my stamina is NOT it, now I don’t have any excuse not to, that app looks helpful AF 😂 thank u queen for the constant spurs of motivation ❤🏃🏼♀️
I LOVE ALL YOUR FITNESS CHALLENGE!!
this was so inspiring and I love that the focus was not on your appearance, but you still look good babes!😍
I also started running a couple of weeks earlier. I used to absolutely HATE running, like I would call in sick at school if there was something with running. But now I can fairly comfortably run 30mins and I am enjoying it. Am I running slower than a grandma carrying groceries? yes! But I am having fun and thats what matters. Such a good lesson to learn to enjoy it no matter what pace you're going and don't worry what others might think about it... because the truth is, they won't think about you at all
nice!! i am (re)starting my running journey too! my goal is also 5k and it feels like i'll never get there lol. when i first starting running in high school i was trying to keep up with one of my track runner friends, and felt like i was sprinting the whole time jsut to keep up with him. couldn't breathe at all. thought that was it for me! i'd never be able to go for a run! slowing down has been the best advice i've ever received. i can run about 3k without stopping now and i'm only stopping because my muscles are getting fatigued rather than my lungs hurting. good luck susie, you've had amazing progress.
you are SUCH an inspiration!! i've stopped running because it's scary to compete with the past version of myself who was really into track 😅 but pilates alone won't cut it lol, thanks for encouraging me to not let the fear of looking silly keep me from changing my life for the better 😊
🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
As a self proclaimed NON runner… I felt this. And I feel motivated to give running a try
I love myself even more after watching her videos she taught me self love, I LOVE YOU SUSIE
🏃🏽
after so many years of watching you and hands down you are still the most relatable youtuber 😁. Love it ❤
Susie never fails to entertain me and be so relatable
I absolutely adore you!!!! Thank you for always being goofy and loveable. This is exactly the inspiration I need to re-re-re-re......re-start my journey. Keep being happy go lucky and thank you! 🏃💚
This video and comment section on this video is so sweet and motivating, I’m feeling inspired to run more! ❤
I love this!! I also thought i was "not a runner" until i randomly gave it a crack at the start of covid. Within a year I had run a half marathon and last year I ran my first full marathon. You are capable of so much more than you think. Consistency is key!!! ❤
I just started my running journey too! One thing I learned is figuring out your breathing rhythm. For me I breathe in through my nose and then out through my mouth almost like I am blowing bubbles lol. Loved this video because I saw myself in it!♥️
hi I found this video and then went on a binge of like all of your fitness challenges, love you girl you're amazing!
Yayyy!! Awesome job Susie! ✌😄 And it`s so nice to see how you have captured your running challenge in such a real way for us, with all of its ups and downs. So many times people just edit their journey as a pure success story all the way, without any problems on the way.. 😅
She fully boosts my self confidence. Love your body 🩷
Your personality is hilariously lovable!!!
I've been waiting for this forever!
