Missing your vlogs!! 🩷

Just binged your entire marathon journey while I recover post-hip surgery! Thx for virtually keeping me company and can’t wait to see how the marathon went!! 🎉

Good luck with your race!

That rain looked so horrible =[ hope is wasn't TOO miserable! You did great getting through it.

Why am i doing this 😂😂 I paid for it 😂😂

I feel like this is the inner monologue of every training cycle: "why am I doing this?" "is this good pain or bad pain?" "Ok actually that wasn't so bad, ready for the next run" You've got this!!! 😄

Excited to see your race outcome!

You seemed a bit stressed out early in the video. Hope things are a bit more chilled now. I have a love/ hate relationship with speed work at the moment. I enjoy the faster running but it leaves me broken for days.

Your burnout and being irritated is normal. It’s a long training block. I hope you do well at your race.

17 weeks is a long training block but you're almost done!

Congratulations! Also, big relate on the run club - I put it off for so long and felt so ill before the first time I went! But now it’s been 4 months and I go every week and I love it 🥰 it is the peopling aspect that’s the scariest part but it’s helped me to come out of my shell a bit! Have you been back?

Ah you were running along the river there OB side and Mission Bay side - those stretches are monotonous at times! I have done many a long run through all those bits! If you can do 22 on your own, you'll be fine with 26 in a race. Race atmosphere is much more motivating than a solo 20+ mi long run.

As soon as you said “party people” I subscribed! You are so unintentionally hilarious I LOVED this vlog! “Get ready for it part 2” had be cackling😂 also, such an inspiration! Now I’m motivated for my 9 mile long run this weekend🥰

I wish I could do audiobooks or listen to podcasts but I always zone out within five minutes. So on my walks I listen to one song on repeat or a few. Without Spotify premium I would cease. Perhaps signs of neurodivergence. hahaha You ask yourself why am I doing this? But once you cross the finish line, you'll know. And you won't regret anything. Maybe you'll cry. Or not but you'll be proud of yourself. I believe the next step will be Ultra Marathons 😆 Can't wait for that series 🙂

I could almost feel the fatigue through the screen towards the end of the long run. Fantastic effort to get through that. Well done! 😊

Honestly, whenever I feel burned out, due to work or some other reason I watch my favorite feel good films like The Mummy or Ella Enchanted, or a Cinderella Story 🤣You should watch Brittany Runs A Marathon. I know the burnout is burning, but just remember that you are an exceptional human and you are doing great. It's normal to feel over it, or tired. You're human. 🙂

The twenty miles continues to baffle me. I have no idea how you guys push through. I hope to accomplish that one day. For now, I'll enjoy my hot girl walks while listening to Don't Stop Believin' because I'm cheesy.

First of, that shirt with the stars is absolutely amazing. Second of, it's hard not to get obsessed with running times and all that. I'm glad you are able to get into liking running again. Sometimes, you just gotta ignore your watch, and enjoy the run for the sake of running. I also think the social aspect lifted your spirits. I hope you keep going to the running club and run more races because you just seem happier when you're around your people. 🙂

Impromptu farmer's markets and dumplings sounds like a perfect day. It's also prescribed to those with knee injuries. Success rate is very high. 🙂

There's nothing wrong with being a "downer", or having a bad week. Not every week is going to feel great, if anything, I appreciate your sincerity. I hope your knee situation improves. It can be a frustrating situation; however, you still ran and did your best despite it all. You should also be proud of these moments, though they don't feel like wins at the time, they are because you could have easily quit. 🙂I am sending the best of vibes !

"I'm fighting with air" hahaha it reminds me of the scene in "The Happening" when there's something in their air that's been killing people, so they try to outrun it. You have to watch it for a laugh, the concept is actually interesting but some scenes are trying too much 😆

You're an impressive human. It blows my mind how you are able to train but also go to the gym, and do pilates. I'm in awe. 😮

Just subscribed! Love the medal!! Yes races are the highlight of my entire life. And i also run alone...i sign up for races alone...but i love it. Running makes me happy...(most of the time 😆)

I swear Cali Cold hits different. You're amazing for running despite the rain!

I haven't read A Court of Thorns and Roses yet but I can confirm that Thorn of Glass is more of a YA Fantasy series if that's more of your jam, but I only read three books in the series and it's been a while so my memory is fuzzy hahaha

I love that your mom started running on your birthday. She's so supportive 🙂 Happy late birthday!

Omg could you do an art tour?? I would love to hear about the stories behind your paintings. ☺

I love a non-carbonated peach mango Celsius like no other, but the urgency to pee shortly after makes me reconsider. So I'll drink a sugar free red bull, or a green tea monster. Point is, as an addict I can only encourage this habit. hahaha

I'm sorry how the cookie is crumbling. I recently watched "Brooklyn" (2015) for the billionth time and there's a quote about homesickness but I feel like it applies to most things that seem like they'll never stop hurting, "All I can say is that it will pass. Homesickness is like most sicknesses. It'll make you feel wretched and it'll move on to somebody else". Whatever is causing the puffy, I'm telling you it'll pass. It'll hurt, hurt worse but eventually it'll fade and it'll be just a chapter in your life. Wish you well 💙

25 min is really fucking amazing. I'm proud of you too. I'm glad you had so much fun!

Watching this as it rains in San Diego, weather can be weird here hahaha Your attitude is so infectious, I love all your videos. Don't stop these videos 😭

I was dying at your expressions during Yoga. I find it really difficult as well. They seem so chill and I'm always dying. It's insulting hahaha

The I am Unwell sweater is the vibiest of vibes. 😅 Honestly same.

Omg I am so glad I found your channel. I'm binging this series and I won't have to wait long for the season finale because the LA marathon is soon! I'm hoping to start running next month but for now I'm just walking. So your content is really motivational. I wish you the best 😀

Your leg pain with the Saucony could be a couple of things... Drop of the shoe could be different to what you're used to and causing issues The shoe fits weird and is causing you to land differently causing pain after your run Recommendation would be to film your stride in both shoes and see if anything is different...or it's like you said and the arch is bad for your feet 🤷

I can relate to a LOT you're saying. I swell really bad too after long runs. I started to feel pretty fed up with training, not really seeing improvement and casually running half marathons+ so often was demotivating me. I make weekly videos too and some weeks it's a lot... but, recently went up to 19 miles and for some reason that made me really happy because I'm getting closer to tapering. We gotta be proud of ourselves for running, making videos and being so consistent haha!

When the headspace is bad it is really difficult to get out of it! I think taking that break during the run can be helpful-I'll do that and then say something like "ok, are you ready now?" to which I respond "no, but let's go" which for some reason always makes me feel better-idk if that's because I'm acknowledging the crapness of the run or because here I am talking to myself and myself is responding!

I’m training for my first half and you definitely inspire me!! You’re doing amazing and inspire so many! ❤

Hey, seems that you're really popular here in Brazil!😊 Really enjoy your videos, shitty weeks happens. Keep griding

I selfishly hope to keep seeing your updates. But the most important stuff is to have fun. So if the videos are making you feel burned out, maybe pause them for a while to see if it makes you feel better? I think that's normal to sometimes feel that way. Don't be hard on yourself on those days/weeks; it will eventually return to normal.

I’m really enjoying your videos so I hope you keep doing them 😊 I’m training for my first half marathon here in the UK, it’s great seeing other people training for things too and following the ups and downs of their journey

Keep pushing Victoria. I'm training for a marathon too and doing videos, I'm from Brazil and i really like your videos ❤

i could drive myself nuts with "i feel fine after a 15 mile run even though it was my longest ever i must be getting better" vs "or OR you're not working hard enough" sssSSSSH mind thoughts go to Sleeeeeep

Like your clips❤

Your videos are great; editing, personality, confidence behind the camera, you're a Natural at it. Attempting my first 20 mile run this weekend, already pumped for it! Keep up the progress! Iron sharpens Iron

The treadmill is ALWAYS worse! Good for you to get out in the weather and run! I've been recently running in the snow, so I feel your pain! You're doing great! Keep it up!❤❤❤

Im with you. The travel and parking anxiety is real. Dont mind the running but hate the logistics of it all 🙈

Great vlog, Victoria. I've been a runner for almost 4 years now, and recently ran with another person for the first time ever 😂 Turkish Delight is grim. Definitely tastes like some kind of household cleaning product.

i want a dolphin medal

YAYAYAYAY GOOD JOB ILY!!!!
