No such thing as “just a cat”. He was your family and he’ll live in your heart for the rest of your life ❤
This is true, sometimes I watch Nikkis videos and miss max. He was a part of all our lives. Rip maximus prime.
@@zamorton8402 Aw, well said and so sweet, a little bit of Max is with us all 💞
Yes this! I get choked up myself when she posts pics of Max! 😢❤ angel baby
Girl I swear random pains after 30 is real, gotta start treating your body better inside and out. Excited for you and might pick up running myself, you give me motivation to try
Please start a running series! I’ve been wanting to get back into running and you’re totally inspiring me.
🧡
We often see the advanced stage of someone's journey. Its nice to see your beginner stage. Thanks for influencing me to start running again. Im also using the same nike run app.
Look into warm ups and FORM! Watch some videos on cues!
Agreed!
i haven't worked out in months! this inspires me, thank you for the motivation nikki! 💘
Please please keep us updated with your running journey! I got SO excited when I saw you post a running video. Def post so,e running vlogs!!
I will never get tired of Nikki B!!! Been watching you since 2016, I feel like you're a friend who I've grown up with
Nikki just catching up and I use Roadrunner Sports too. They can make you an extra set of insoles based on your foot profile so you don't have to switch them between your shoes.
awe i’m so happy you are running now!💞 the foam roller and yoga 🧘♀️ are your new bestie! can’t wait to watch your journey 🫶🏼🌻🌻
If you care about your viewers mental health you wouldn’t use BetterHelp as a sponsor after everything that’s come out about them. Promoting unqualified therapists to someone who might really need help could be the difference in someone taking their own life. Mental health should be more important than a paycheck
Biggest advice is to join a run club! You get to meet awesome ppl and it's a great support system. I'm 31 and started in March and couldn't get over a quarter mile without stopping. Now I've gotten up to 15 miles with the help of the awesome run club friends I have made. Also compression ankle socks and regular compression socks. Pain cream for sore feet. Start with a 5k goal and work up from there. It gets easier and way more enjoyable.
P.S. yes running vlogs!
If you're looking to increase distance, you might want to try mixing in walk/runs. E.g. run 5m, walk 30s repeat (still extremely slow). You might be surprised how much further you can get like this , and beginners often find this easier and less daunting than just stretching their runs longer and longer
Grief over our babies is REAL! I still grieve over my pup and that was is 2018... it is heartbreaking losing our babies. 💔
“I’m little and overall fearful of the outside world.” This is the most relatable sentiment. Lol.
It sucks when you first start but once you get used to it, it feels amazing! Good job nikki!
Love love love the tips you shared, and yes, I would love to see running vlogs. Just picked up running again🏃♀️
Yesssss running vlog! Tbh I love watching those when I have to run on a treadmill bc it feels like I’m running with someone!
So excited to see more running vlogs 😍🙏🏼
oh hell yes, I would be super here for some early 30s beginner running content! I've been wanting to freshen up my exercise since my usual activity is feeling a bit stale lately
Love hearing the thought process of taking on a new challenge. Keep going! A race vlog would be fun to watch
I appreciate you bringing up loss/grief even tho it’s a really difficult subject. I lost my long hair orange kitty Brian tragically due to an assumed heart condition at only 6 months. It’s been a year and I have those “should have” thoughts almost daily still. I hope they are playing together being chonks 🥺❤
Just keep going, you will eventually get to where you have to run or you feel like somthing is off. It becomes addicting
Would it be possible to record the true highs and lows of your running journey? This video was very enlightening and entertaining. Your comedic spin on it made me want to start running and share funny stories about it.
I can’t waaaait. I’m in my running era too!
Love this!! I’ve been wanting to run to, but I’m nervous of having some of the same issues. I think a running vlog would be great.
I used to only lift weights then I got into HIIT (b/c pandemic) and now I’m in my running era and I love it! 🏃🏻♀️Thats awesome you’re running now. If you ever sign up for races, the energy and the positive vibes is such an amazing experience. 😝Try a running club they’re so much fun.
So excited to watch your running journey from the beginning stage!!
Running is awesome ! I started running June because I’m applying for the police academy in Chicago and now I can run 6 miles ! Baby steps! ❤ and a lot of pain! 😊
I love to see this excitement! Great video ❤
I turned 29 in September and I AM FEELING IT!!!!! Just started to run as well. Lifts weights for the last ten years has been great but I need a challenge! Definitely do more running blogs and do you boo! Lots of love from FL!
We must all be on the same algorithm because I kept seeing running everywhere too that now i have taken up running!! I’m only on day 2 of my running journey so still very beginner but appreciate your tips! Yes keep the running updates coming 😃
Loved the rant.. Been getting outside lately to walk/try to jog to help with stress, and it's really helpful.
Also, you looked super pretty 😊.
Just ran my first full marathon. Finished and said never again. 4 days later I’ve forgotten how terrible miles 16-22 were and I’m thinking maybe I’d like to improve my time! Lol. I love running!
Please stop using Better help as a sponsor, if you’re going to promote something like therapy please at least do some research about the company first.
I have been running for ⚡️18 years⚡️ and I LOVE it so much! I’m glad you learned a few things early! I also went through the whole run as fast as possible every run and you’ll get better every time. That’s false. Oh so not how it works. So a few pointers for anyone and everyone that wants to start running:
- running slow is your best friend. play your favorite music, sing along, you should be able to talk without being out of breath on 90% of your runs, especially in the beginning. if you need to do walk/runs to start, totally do it!
- you will have shit runs no matter how many runs you get under your belt. it’s just the way it is, they aren’t wasted, still do them
- carbs are your other best friend when running. you’re body will use more glycogen so you will need to up your strict carb sources if you want to avoid crashing
Happy running 🏃🏼♀️ 🎉
It’s so fun to train for things! I admire you so much! You’re the only previous body building youtuber who is not trying to scam people or still obsessing over your body. You seem so healthy & vulnerable. I always see vids like don’t run you won’t gain muscle but at this point in my life it’s like who cares, do what’s best for your mental health. Running makes me feel so good!
Thankful for all the tips, also trying to get into running 😊
girl i cry about the thought of even losing my cat and she’s still young. i know the love you have for a cat is deep and i would definitely be the same as you if/when i lose her. better to have loved and lost than to never love her at all. 😢
I am so interested in more running vids! running is something ive wanted to get into but i have literally not been moving lol so ive been walking but really want to start running. So def keep us update!
I love that you’re posting RUclips blogs more often! I have always loved your channel. You’re my cable television since I don’t have cable.
Nike running app is great!
I’ve been getting into running for the same reasons! I like having an objective goal
My 12 year old pupp passed in 2020 and I still talk about her. Miss her so much.
Highly recommend jump roping with crossropes weighted jump ropes if you want something new to try. They are so fun and just like dancing around for 30 min. Ashley started using them too!
Good job Nikki we love your creativity is great!! 💙💙 My dog passed away July from Cancer
Next month will mark 2 years since my kitty passed away from kidney failure. I still miss him everyday and I still cry when I think about him.
Pls never stop posting it makes me happy 🩷
You can do a day in the life vlog and incorporate your run! With getting ready, stretching, hydrating, what you eat that day, etc. you know we love a Nikki day in the life!!❤🫶🏼
I’ve read when add distance and/or time you do it in 10% increments. I’ve done couch to 5k a bunch of times but that may even be a bit fast if you’re just starting out however, I really like how couch to 5k leads you into running farther. Maybe something to look into.
Good for you Nikki. Keep on going! You got it
I just started running too! Ran a mile 2 days last week
Love you girl!
Well, Nikki I ran yesterday for the first time in about 2 years. Definitely the first time I ran for fun and actually enjoyed it. I've been lifting on and off for about 6 years and I was bored. Thanks for being so honest about how slow/"bad" the first runs are. Can't wait to see how we both improve!!!
My therapy cat passed in June. I felt similar. She had mammary gland cancer. I was going through a breast cancer scare in summer 2021 and was having biopsies etc. I noticed her leaving a wet spot on my exercise mat(she liked to workout with me😅). Anyways, I should have investigated but I assumed it was pee since she had long fur and sometimes would get pee on her back legs and I was preoccupied by my own health scare. We only found out she had cancer october 2021 and it was already grade 2. She had surgery and we got 20 healthy months with her then it came back so fast😭 I have a lot of guilt about it
Hugs to you❤
👏👏👏💯 15:27
Love your videos❤ Pls do running vlogs!
just wanted to pop in to say your hair looks soooo pretty, the color of it just complements your other features so well! hope all is well!
I relate to this so hard!! I keep trying to be a runner but I am so not a runner 😂
Watch as many videos on form as possible and try to get that nailed while keeping a slow pace for the time being. You will likely get injured again if you go too quick. Make really slow adjustments to your pace and mileage over time, no more than 10% increase each week. Just enjoy the process, it will take quite a long time to get good at it. Slow and steady wins the race. There's a good book called "Born to Run" I reckon you will enjoy. I used to lift but now all I do is run and I absolutely love it. Good luck.
Please get Strava!! So excited you’re getting into running 😊
Ran my first half marathon next year and swore never to put myself through that again! 8 months later and I’m looking for my next one 😂
Once that big bites, you’ll never be the same!
I’ve been running badly for years and man this is all still so true on every run. It gets better but is never easy lol
I’ve started running too!
Nikki's a runner.. hehe.....
oh feature socks 🧦 are a must also!!
If you’re still getting shin splints, I recommend using athletic tape on your shins and wearing compression socks on top. This helped me a lot when I started running again, now in my 30s, after I had spent my entire 20s running without any problems.
running vlogs would be so fun!!
I to have gotten a foot scan like that done, and got personalized inner soles made😊 Very nice!
And I’ve also been out and about in shoes with no inner soles a few times 😆🙌 - feet sitting way to low in the shoes, looking all weird.
We can’t always remember everything!😆💩
Another thing with Hokas, the heel to toe drop is 4mm vs other shoes that have an 8mm drop. Ease into them to prevent shin splints :)
I've been following you for 7 years, and you keep looking younger and younger💞
I like running rants 💯 17:26
Yes running vlogs! And we all miss max, he was sort of our family too 🥲🫶🏼
Welcome to the running club. Glad you stopped at roadrunners and got more supportive shoes. Best part of running are locations. Try along the boardwalks of the beaches and treat yourself to a smoothie after.
I think running vlogs are good like the day of a run - pre fuel drinks etc stretches a few clips on the run a breakdown of the run aftwr post refuel and hydration. What you’re wearing etc ♥️♥️ also I can’t understand why a running shop would sell you 2 diff pairs of runners that are totally different 🤣
The best running tip I got was to focus on increasing your time spent running, not the distance.
I want you to know, as crazy as it sounds, I still miss max terribly. He was SUCH a special cat. I was so happy every time he popped in on camera. Ive have pets my whole life so I do understand the grief. You're not wrong in feeling that max was just the best. I still expect to see him pop in and I feel sad not seeing him. We love all our pets but sone are just so extraordinarily special. Max is definitely special.
I’m here for the running vids.
The peloton app helped me so much with learning how to run. Just a thought
Even though your a noob when it comes to running I’m still proud of you Nikki 💯 6:28
Look forward to your running journey. Hope to see you at an event. Run, walk, run is the best way to start.
More running vlogs will be amazing 😊
I’ve wanted to start running. Maybe once my MCL tear heals I can start on it. 😅
Exactly
keep running. go slow to go fast ❤😊
It took me a few years to feel okay after I lost my first cat, and I love my current little bean so much! She is my entire world and I would do anything for her even if she would trade me for a churu snack any day. Unrelated but the dark hair looks AMAZING
Walk/run intervals are a great way to start. 1 min walk/1 min 30 run, then build up to 1 min walk/ 3 min run, 2 min walk/5min run. 3-6 min warmup / cool down walks aswell. ☺️
Also, on non running days strengthen Achilles heel by jumping on the spot or jump rope.
NOT just a cat! Animals are better than people, and you don’t have to apologize for loving him with your whole heart. :)
nikki your hair is looking LITERALLY BEAUTIFUL😍
I want to see more videos about running!! Totally feel you on not realizing that when runners say they're running, they're actually jogging!! It took me YEARS of trying, stopping and restarting to realize that I don't need to be Flo Jo out there, just jog ....🤣🤣
Omg this is how became a runner, 5 years later I’ve ran a 25k and found runner friends and do run vacations with them 💕
I've been really enjoying running vlogs on tiktok. Maybe a short form like that would be good, and would be great for beginners to follow who otherwise might not commit to a full video.
Omg I just recently started running too! AND I did a run eval and got the ASICS tooooo! ANNNND am using the Nike Run Club
Anyone know ow where her headband is from it’s so cute!
Nikki please share more of your running plans and progress!!
The thing with shoes is, that dependent on your form etc in runningg, you will need a different one. The best thing I did is get an analysis. It is a completely different feeling, running with the right shoes. Little sidenote, when I got my posture etc analysed I also met a couple of experienced runners that even gave me hints on how to tie the shoes properly for running
Electrolytes, Gu, and a massage gun. BUY IT.
Shin splints can mean your stride is off! It’s typically the sign of a forward foot strike instead of striking mid foot under your hip! Look up Chari Hawkins, the Olympic runner. She post a ton of running drills to improve form that can be used as a warmup for runs. It’s helped me a lot.
The no insole thing had me dead 😂
Would love to see running vlogs/series! PLEASE!
