When I started my weight loss journey and started training to be a runner, I looked all over for a relatable person who did it! I needed to see someone like me who was getting out there and smashing it! I didn't have the confidence to go outside and run because I thought I was too big, and worried about being judged!
WELL after searching online I found loads of inspiring people but no one who looked like they had the same struggles as me! That's when I decided to be the overweight, sweaty, not care what people think person that I needed to see. I found my confidence, lost 70lbs and even ended up running a marathon!!
I'm here to be your virtual running buddy :) Let's get out and do this together because if I can do it...SO CAN YOU!
I just started finally being able to jog 4 miles nonstop in the past week. Suddenly mine and body just clicked and worked together. Now that I've experienced doing it, I know I can do it all the time!
This was such a great video! Thank you for stressing the importance of run-walk 🙏🏻congratulations to Matt on accomplishing such an amazing feat 🎉 and you for being such a great cheerleader for him during your injury recovery. You both are the sweetest couple ❤
Matt, you have absolutely everyone behind you, you're incredible! Thank you for validating run/walking! I run/walk always due to chronic pain and I still manage to run half marathons by doing this. I'm still a runner :)
The way you talked about Matt made me want to cry lol I can tell you love and care for each other very much. You are a lovely couple ❤️ Wonderful job, Matt! I would never! 🤣
with the hunger but no appetite dilemma, I find this after any long run. I think your body is used to being in constant motion for over an hour that it convinces you that you can't consume anything solid. I feel nauseous when I tried to eat something solid after a long-run.
Currently following the app couch to 5k, i’m on day 13 (I do it every day that I can, I’ve only missed 2 days and it was because I went on hikes) but basically it’s been amazing! I know that by October 17th I will be running the full 5k, right now I run a little over half of the 3.8! Anyways, I love it so far, I feel accomplished! 😊
This is such a brilliant vlog! Well done Matt and to you Lucy for being his support person! Can’t wait to see part 2! I would love to see you both do more running vlogs together. My husband and I have started running together more since he caught the running bug off me 😅 And can totally relate to feeling of being sick when trying to eat after running a long distance. It’s horrible. X
This was an epic watch! Felt knackered for you Matt, but full respect to you buddy, and Lucy, great crewing I think you deserve at least some of the unicorn medal 😂. P.S. I hope the rehabs on track.
Awesome job, Matt! It was actually comforting to see an experienced runner not have a super easy time ALL the time. It’s just a good reminder that no matter how experienced every run and every day is different for everyone!
I love that you recognised this in the vlog 😀 He makes it look easy if you’re watching him run but speaking to him was showing me how tough he was finding it. That was my favourite medal 😊🦄🏃🏻♂️
Great video Lucy! Way to go Matt! 🎉 Excited for part 2. I loved the Unicorn trying to run in Crocs. 🦄 Is it the same course for all 10 days? Can you change up your route at all? Hopefully Matt is physically fine and recovering well. 😀👟🥳
im new here and new in running! So excited to watch you content and being inspired. Can you run with music without your phone? like does it allow to store/download playlists on watch?
Wow this was exciting.I am sorry for the struggles in the beginning, but it made the whole video like an redemption arch or something :-D All the best for the last 5! I also think it really shows that Matt is not "super human", but he is willing and able to "do" things or to keep going even when things are not in this favor. Very inspiring 😀
I don’t think either of us were expecting that kind of redemption arch to happen but I’m so happy it did 😅 Thank you, I love that’s the message this vlog gave you ❤️🙌🏼🏃🏻♂️
Poor Matt, having Lucy stick the camera in your face all the time, lol... seriously though, thanks for taking us along for the ride. You are a super star!!
Go Matt! You guys are a great team, supporting each other and showing up for each other. Long runs like that are like getting a shot of Ozempic, your hunger hormones are suppressed and your hormones telling you you're full amp up production. Glad he was finally able to eat!
Thank you! 😀 Oh my goodness, that’s such a great way of putting it. It’s just like that! I was over the moon when he started eating better, I was so worried before 😬😅
Matt is a machine! Wow wow and just wow! I can’t wait for the part 2. Well done to you too Lucy for doing such a great job as his support crew, team work and big Kudos for you both. Ps I hope you’ll be running soon yourself x
Let's GOOOOO, Matt!! 🗣😛😎🔥🏆🫁🫀💪👊🏃📸🏴🇬🇧 I can't imagine how I would cope with trying to recover and prepare in the same set of hours! Or, right, just doing this at all, and doing so well! Getting a medal each day has to be a boost! Look at those! My son and I are now tuning in from across the country from one another (because we took the 1700 mile+ journey last week and got him to university)! You two are so great! 🥰 Love the laughs! Keep those up! 😄 Thank you for the point on the walk bits actually helping for a better time. I am going to have to use that when I do my first 10k (trail run, benefitting Veterans in my part of the world) in a couple of months. I think I'll have to anyway because part of that is up the side of a mountain and the elevation gain is gonna be a big challenge. Does Matt have a check-up scheduled for that hip? 4hours 44mins for your FIFTH DAY?!?! If you need to, ignore all my comments, just know I am THRILLED for you both and am SO EXCITED to see those last 5! Thank you, Matt, for getting in the camera so much and offering so much real time experience insight. Thank you, Lucy, for doing these for us!! Again, you two are the best!
Let’s goo! 😀🎊 The daily medals were so good and I reckon a great boost for Matt. They were some of the best quality medals I’ve seen 🫶🏻 Ah thank you so much for your kindness and support!! 🙌🏼❤️
That's incredible! I seriously have no interest in running 50k certainly not 50k everyday for 10 days! Matt did have me worried when he came through on his first lap so fast at (vlog timestamp) 6:53 though! 😵
Amazing video Lucy, really enjoyed watching yours & matts time there, thanks for filming. What a champ Matt is, mind blowing how well he’s done so far.. everything crossed for you to get back out running soon as well x
