Yessss both have been so amazing!! 2 of my faves giving us such an inspiring week 🔥

Just ran my 181st half marathon. As a life-long runner the most important thing about distance running is consistency! For me it is a lifestyle. It is just part of my everyday life. Stay consistent in any workout program, make it your lifestyle and you will age healthy & gracefully! No big secrets, consistency is key!

Good luck! My first half is tomorrow. If your next couple weeks of training are intimidating, don't stress. One day at a time!

Here's a suggestion you definitely didn't ask for: do a short course triathlon! I trained for and completed one last fall and it has been the biggest game changer for me to get me to appreciate all the amazing things my body can do, and the mix of sports helps keep training interesting! Congratulations on your race, you killed it!

not me totally researching this now 😭😂 i need to buy a bike!!

Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you 💜 nothing has been better than seeing how your relationship with running has changed since you began you're training. I love the "doing it to prove to myself I can" mentality.

I’m so proud of you! I’m currently at the beginning of my running journey and I legit got emotional for you when you finished. Always love your positivity and kindred spirit! So happy KZread algorithm brought me to you 😊

This video honestly made me so emotional. I remember watching your first running video and empathizing so much with how much you hated the treadmill (it's still the worst) and now watching you cross the finish line inspires me so much! I'm training for my first half marathon at the end of May and I've loved going on this journey with you! I was dreading my run for today because it's gross outside but watching this 100% inspired me to just put my shoes on and go do it. You should be so proud of everything you've accomplished, and thank you so much for sharing it with us!!

What a legend Taylor! So proud of you! As a non runner (elephant running through peanut butter runner) watching you cross that finish line was so inspiring!! YOU ARE A RUNNER!!!!!!

I got choked up watching this. I remember when I ran my first and only 1/2 marathon. it was such an emotional feeling. Even after the race friends and family wanted to celebrate and I wasn’t my usual chatty self. I think i was just so overwhelmed with emotions that I did it. So proud of you girl! It’s great feeling to accomplish it.

So inspiring to watch your journey and seeing you cross the finish line!! I’ve been focusing on getting better at running the last 6 months, but now you’ve inspired me to run a half marathon too by the end of the year 🥺 so proud of you Taylor!

Aaaawww great video! I’d been looking forward to this one. I ran my first half (alone!) in 2015 and it was tough but so rewarding. I will never forget the nerves and excitement going into it and how unbelievably proud I was of myself. It all just felt so HUGE. Watching this brought all that back. Happy for you!

Taylor you've been so inspiring to watch, I even remember watching your early treadmill challenge videos. You inspired me to sign up for a half marathon and get past my mental barrier. Seeing you cross the finish line made me emotional and so happy for you! ILYSM

Congrats!! After watching all of your running videos I actually went on my first run today! I love being active but running was always a nightmare for me, but I really wanted to give it a go. And today was not horrible and I actually want to go again so thank you thank you thank you.

This warmed my heart! I love the way you structured this video leading up to the race, made me so happy to see you so happy doing the darn thing! You are so inspiring, congrats on crossing the finish line!!

thank you katie 🥺🥺❤️ it was really important to me to share my journey and how long awaited this has been..🥺

You’re amazing! Running my first half marathon in a few months and this video has been my absolute favorite to watch right now. You’re an inspiration and such a light!✨💪🏽❤️

Yeih, you did it Taylor! You're sooo inspiring! I've been running for a couple of years, but have never had the guts to sign up for anything like this. Following your journey to this half marathon has inspired me to sign up for one! THANK YOU!

You DID THE DANG THING!!!!!! You are an inspiration to my fitness (aka weight loss) journey! Your honesty on the day to day struggle is so relatable and makes me feel like a human! Your positivity is most definitely a mood booster! Just so very proud of you!

i loved watching and listening (part of the podcast fam!!) to your running journey!! to the point that you inspired me to start running again, after running on and off for the past 10 years. congratulations on your first half and i can't wait to see if you do a full marathon!!

Ahhhh so proud!!!! Congrats!!!! You were a big inspiration for me getting ready for my own race. I actually ran a half marathon the day after you! A few weeks into my training, I was panicking and feeling defeated and looking up inspiration and came across your channel and videos about the half marathon. I was excited to finally see you cross that finish line the day before me. It gave me the confidence to run my race! It felt like we were almost training together. YOU DID IT!!!

Yeesssss!!! So proud!! I'll be thinking of you throughout my half this Saturday. You're the reason I am pushing myself to do this and you inspire me to do this for myself and nobody else.

As this video made me cry! I did my first half marathon last year and doing my second this year. That feeling of finishing and being so proud of yourself is the ultimate feeling. So happy for you girl !

so so proud!! i’m a little late to seeing this but i can’t wait to see how much more you progress. you’re so inspiring

Congrats, Taylor! Watching your journey has been so inspiring. Whatever you do next I’m sure you will make us all proud! ❤️

I have been so invested in this journey! You did the darn thing Taylor!! I have loved watching your videos and they have been the perfect motivation for my current marathon training block!

You are AMAZING! I am so proud of you! I also love how you showcase the challenges of running while also making it accessible and being an inspiration to others. And F YEAH to the marathon! You would crush it :)

I loved watching your entire journey to get to this point. You inspire me to push myself even when I am feeling down on myself and I'm so glad I discovered your channel!

So happy for you Taylor!! You were my inspo to start Pilates when you did a video on trying it, I’ve been hooked ever since 💓😭 I’m so thankful for you and so glad you accomplished a goal of yours! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

I’m so proud of you! I know it’s such an amazing experience to cross that line! It’s so inspiring to watch you work hard and reach a goal! Good job!

CONGRATSSSSS!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 . I’m so excited for you ! And so so proud!! I had been waiting for this video!!!! Super exciting to watch. Thank you for letting us be a part of this with you :’) definitely was starting to feel emotional towards the end of your race. I feel like I’m for sure going to cry when I cross that finish line myself😂

I just ran my first half marathon two weeks and your videos were so inspiring and really helped me feel more comfortable in my journey. Congratulations!!! 🎉

Omg girl WHY am i crying ?!? This is my first video of yours that I am watching and holy heck I am so proud :') I have always wanted to run in races but have been too scared to do it alone (NO one will do it with me lmao) and this was just the push I needed. Thank you for this video, I'm so inspired!!! Xx

I am so incredibly proud of you, Taylor!😭🙌🥳🎉🏆Following you along on your journey has been so much fun💗 way to go and be an amazing role model for everyone! And the classical music in the background is just ICONIC! No one else can pull it off like you girl!🪄👌🥰

Okay what an inspiration. I’ve been wanting to get into trail running but am scared bc “I don’t run”. Your dedication is an inspiration to everyone watching your video. You go girl!!! Also your editing is *chefs kiss

A few months late, but I just found this video and I cried several times throughout. I went on this exact same journey for my first half marathon, alone last May. Our races were so similar down to the pace/mindset/push. Massive congratulations, and thank you for reminding me of that feeling

Not me being on my period and crying over how Taylor finally did her race and being proud. You have encouraged me to start running. Love you!

This really inspired me so much Taylor 🥺😭 I’m soooo freaking proud of you!!! You are so resilient and can conquer anything you put your mind to! So MFn proud girly! ❤️❤️❤️

I am so proud of you. I see so much of how I feel in how you felt before and you truly are inspiring🥺💜

This made me realise that I had been here from the start of your running journey and so proud of how you went! Time to get into my own training again 🧡

IM SOOOO PROUD OF YOU GIRRRLLL, YOU DID IT. Really you're my inspiration, thank you for always being there👏👏💪

When you crossed the finish line i started to tear up!! So proud of you! You are an inspiration to all of us! God bless!

So proud of you girlll🥰! Just know as much as we inspire you, you inspire as to give more and don't stop

WOOOO!!!! You crushed it, Taylor! You’ve put in so much work and it’s been a pleasure to follow along on your journey. So proud of you!!!

I grew up absolutely hating all forms of physical activity, I was a complete couch potato and I didn't participate in any sports. Then after my first year in college I fell in love with the gym, and over quarantine I really began to take running seriously. Now I'm in the running club at my university for cross country & track and I'll be running my second half marathon in May 😊 Kudos to you for going on this journey!

YES TAYLORRRRR AHHHHH IM SO PROUD OF YOU I’ve always wanted to do this and you’ve really inspired me to finally start training!!

AHHHHH IM LITERALLY RUNNING MY FIRST IN MAY. I have been running with the NRC app for about 8 months now and I’m LOVING IT (also using the half marathon plan). Seeing you doing this race knowing that I’m in the same exact situation as you (never did long distance, first time racing, using the same plan, etc) made me feel SO many feels. I got butterflies, cried, screamed, anything. This video got me so pumped for my race!! I just wish people knew how emotional this journey is for people like us! I just know I’m gonna cry when I cross the finish line, and I fully expect people to think I’m a little over dramatic…but I don’t care. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! CONGRATULATIONS! THIS IS SO AWESOME!

Crying seeing people cross the finish line is my passion ❤ I enjoyed watching every mile, you are so charismatic and determined you made it look easy

following your journey has brought me so much joy. thank you for sharing it all! it was incredible to watch

I remember watching the first videos in which you mentioned running and I could not help but to think "I could never do that" , even in the moments in which you judged yourself the most because of it, I can assure you it amazed me every time, to the point that I started running myself (still am!) and to see you crossing that finish line made me tear up thinking about how far you have come and how far you have pushed me and so many others! Sorry for the essay, but at the end of the day I just want to say thank you for sharing every step of the way, it makes a world of difference 💕

this video made me CRY LIKE A BABY so proud of you taylor!!

Didn't expect to cry when you got to the finish line, just read the comments to see others cried too haha

So proud of you! I’m very motivated after watching your journey with this and now I want to give it a shot!

Literally got chills when you crossed the finish line! So happy for you, you did amazing!!!

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 What an amazing accomplishment. You make me want to do this myself! Well, maybe not a half marathon anytime soon but I can work towards it like u did! Such an amazing video and so inspiring, thank u so much for sharing and giving all of us the encouragement to go out there and do something out of the box. Love ya ❤

This video is very refreshing compared to the serious training videos with people who have a history of being extremely athletic. Love your energy ✨️ 💕

You killed it!!! Would love to see you run this same race next year to see how much you’ve improved. Thanks for helping to motivate me on my own half training!!!

Huge huge congrats on running your first half marathon, Taylor!! That is a huge deal and you should be incredibly proud of yourself!

So stinkin proud of you girl! Got me over here tearing up while you were getting ready and then again when you crossed the finish line 💕

So proud of you! As someone who has run a halfmarathon over 10 years ago, you brought me back to that day

YES. TAYLOR. seriously so proud watching you and your running journey!! this is such a fun full circle moment video i love it. (also that looks like such a great course i love the waterfront there but mile 13 looked disgusting i can’t even imagine)

Tell me why this made me so emotional!! It's been amazing to watch your journey and you've inspired me to take up running. Like you, I never thought I could and now I feel like it's possible. CONGRATS and I can't wait to see what's in store for you next!!!

I’m so proud of you and accomplishing what you had started The beginning of your video talking about running every day is so hilarious I remember that video and now look at you such a runner you are 🤘🏃‍♀️

i cant believe that was my negative mindset! it is wild what you accomplish when you change your mindset to be a bit more positive :’)

Loved all the emotions in this! I laughed so hard with the oatmeal incident, because of course that would happen and it's something that would typically happen to me too! hahaha Congratulations Taylor! Truly inspiring! I am running a half in a month, I did one 6 years ago without training (ugh, what was I thinking). Now I am doing it right! Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!

If I could love this video I would. Thank you for sharing your running journey - you’re amazing!! You have inspired me to rekindle my love for running (and reading for fun again)

Omg so proud and happy for you !! Such a good feeling to complete a goal like that for YOU 💗

Welcome back and I missed your videos! Happy spring, Taylor!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taylor this is amazing! I love seeing your running journey! ☺️

Wow this actually made me teary-eyed watching because I’m just so proud! So amazing!

So excited to watch this and sooo frickin proud of you!

it felt like yesterday when u talked about doing this marathon ☹️ being here since u hated running to finishing a half marathon,,,it makes me feel like a mom watching her daughter grow LOL😭 you are my biggest fitness inspiration!

I just started my running journey and I cried when you reached the finish line. 😭😭😭😭 Thank you for this!

Every time the “I hate the treadmill” single makes an appearance I know it’s going to be a great video 😂 so proud of you Taylor!! ❤️

I have been WAITING for this video! You are awesome! You also inspired me to sign up for my first half marathon in July!

I had actual tears with this. From a girl just like you who’s ran only two half’s I understood this more than you know. I loved this. BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF! Your videos are literally the best part of my week ❤️ ps: I hope you get lululemons running shoes and do a review on them for us!

Look at you go!! How amazing are you! I'm so happy for you, babes, you did the darn thing, and you did it wonderfully. 💖

you're smile and energy are very contagious!!

Congrats so much! I'm a big runner now (the casual 13 miles kind) and my running journey all started with a random half marathon too just 2 years ago. The hands-down best part about it has been the smiles and that pre-race feeling you were talking about, and it sounds like you have so much awareness of what/when brings you joy from running. keep it that way!

Congratulations Taylor!! So proud of you!! So happy for you!!!

Your journey is so inspiring! I just started training for my first half marathon, so your videos are really helpful and motivating. Would love to see more about your choice of shoes and gear! And how is there no single drop of sweat in your face after running 13 miles!

popped up in recommendations! KZread read my mind on wanting to do a half marathon and I used to hate running! Very inspirational! Congratulations! ♥️

This brought me to tears! Makes me wish I could relive my first half marathon all over again. Hope you cherished every second of it. So proud of you girl🤍

I teared up a bit when I saw you cross the finish line (can see I’m not the only one in the comments!) such an amazing achievement. You should be SO proud of yourself for this. But also, you should be so proud of how many people you’ve motivated and encouraged with these videos and this series. You’re such a positive and uplifting person and your focus on personal achievement rather than aesthetics or more superficial endeavours had really spoken to me (not that those things are bad, I just feel like your content has meant a lot more to me personally). So for that I want to say thank you, Taylor! And well done again 🙏❤️
