My ultramarathon was meant to be this week. I had hoped to be running through the finishing line as I was giving the update so I’m sorry for being a bit bummed out. I am so proud of everyone setting goals: I’ve heard about so many of you running your first run in years, shooting for 5kms, 10kms, half marathons, marathons and ultras. You can’t imagine how freaking proud it makes me. It’s never about how big the goal looks on the outside, but how much it means to you and how much self-belief it helps build. No workout in today’s video as I’m really resting up and taking time away from running/the gym, but a new boyf for me thanks to all of you generous people 💗🤍
Just want to mention: the race wasn't Western States. I'm not ready yet but I appreciate the faith! I'll be doing a different race in a few weeks, once I've had a little rest and worked on some more rehab for my ankle (: Can't wait to make it happen!

Literally I DID do my first half marathon because of YOU. You made me feel like I COULD. So thanks. You didn’t let anyone down.
I’m so insanely proud of you and happy for you. I just hope it was a beautiful experience that left you with memories. You deserve them 🫶
@@natachaoceane ⭐️🌞 it was beautiful. I ran another one a month later just because of how beautiful the journey was. The second one had a lot of uphill and was such a challenge, but I just kept reminding myself to take it slow and keep myself in that “I can still have a conversation” range and was able to make it to the end. Seriously though your advice and your positive are so helpful. I love how you tackle fitness and I truly think you are a positive influence in the world. Sending Good vibes your way! ⭐️🌞🥰
@@ristopherobbinsthat is the best, best thing to read. That’s exactly how I aim and hope for fitness to feel for people: so enjoyable and fulfilling that you actually look forward to coming back to it, so it would be so much harder to stop than it would to keep going 🤍 you’ve nailed it, just watch the progress roll in as a result!
I’m ugly crying. I know how that feels to the core. You inspired me to balance running and weightlifting. I’ve been consistent last year, but unfortunately for the past 3 months I need to stop exercising because my heart rate would increase to 170-200 bpm due to hyperthyroid. Even a light walk will make me tired. It sucks so bad, I feel like a disappointment.
Watching this video makes me happy and even eager to get healthier. I’m so glad you also prioritize your health. Lets focus on our recovery together❤
Ultramarathoning is such a mental game and I lost my confidence a little lately. I’m really focussed on rebuilding though: sleep, ankle rehab + time away are my current strategy. I hope you know you’re a huge part of my inspiration, I'm so fired up by your passion and brilliance and kindness so thank you 🌈 I’m so pumped to break 100.
More importantly, *thank you* from the bottom of my heart for reaching $40,000 for endometriosis research! I’m lovingggggg the new bf!! 🌸🦩
YOU CAN DO IT YOU ARE AMAZING YOU ARE STRONG YOU ARE DETERMINED YOU ARE RESILIENT AND YOU ARE INSPIRATIONAL 10/10 example of a human being, if aliens abducted you then they would get a really good first impression of humanity
Wishing you well
I’m rooting for you, Natasha. Ultimately you’re doing this for you and nobody else! I respect you for listening to your body
You got this! No 100miles is gonna break your happy spirit! We’re all rooting for you!
We love you and you have been so inspirational for YEARS. What makes you happy matters most. We try, we strive and sometimes we fall short. That's when we get back up. And I know you will too 👸🏼💪
SO glad you chose to keep your own health and safety in mind! We all love you SO MUCH and are here for you no matter what! Can’t wait to see you crush more and more of your goals in the future! We’re here for you every step of the way 💖💖💖
Hello Karissa! What a beautiful message. I hope so hard that I can be deserving of that type of support honestly, and pay it back in some way. I’m so lucky to have you and I don’t forget it ever 🫶
@@natachaoceaneyou don’t have to do anything to earn support. You deserve it just for being human, being here and being someone who tries to live up to their values
Only 2 minutes in & just wanted to say Natacha that you haven't let anybody down, I know this without watching the whole video. You are such an inspiration to so many people and we are all behind you. I am so sorry that you haven't been able to do it this time round, but sometimes these things aren't at the right time for us. Sending positivity your way ❤️❤️❤️
I admit I feel slightly let down
You haven’t let us down! Thank you for being SO realistic on the internet ❤
Honestly you all aren’t very reflective of the internet. It’s a messy place where people hide behind ambiguity to unload their discontent and instead you’re all unbelievably good hearted and kind and understanding. It’s easy to share here honestly so thank you so much 🤍
sending love natacha ❤ always proud 💕
See Natacha, even CZcams knows you didn’t let us down ❤
Hi youtube omg
Mario is giving me blonde Fred Again vibes with the bleached hair!
As someone with Endometriosis it means so much to see all the support you’ve gathered Natacha. You continue to inspire me💖
Another Endo girl here, in this together
Same here. She has helped me feel more confident in strength training as I try to manage my endo
I know how much strength and persistence it takes to stay resilient and just keep the faith. I’ve spoken to many people suffering over the last 6 months and I feel in awe of you all. I won’t stop supporting however I can, here, in private and when I move on from CZcams 💗
For anyone who has suffered from a physical injury (either due to work or pushing themselves too hard) it's so important to see someone like you choose to take a break. We already put pressure on ourselves and you literally have the pressure of millions of people, and you were strong enough to take a break.
Only Natacha could put up a video titled, "well, this sucks.." and still have me smiling at the end
Natacha! You have absolutely not disappointed anyone! People message you with their progress but you don’t see all the times they failed and you motivated them to try again. You not managing to run this time is only testimony to your honesty and commitment to HEALTH! We don’t love you because of your achievements, but your honesty and commitment in sharing them and helping others. We love you and please be kind to yourself xx
Exactly!! Natacha promotes long term sustainable health and fitness and this shows that perfectly
You will do it when the time is right. To be honest, putting your ego aside and not doing it by prioritising your health is being a far better role model and being more inspirational than doing it and destroying your body in the process. So much fitness related content and challenge content is based on not stopping, no pain no gain mentality and it’s wrong. So well done Natacha 👏🏻 you’re sending the right message x
“We’re silly but we have decorum” is the vibe I strive for haha
I loved her
And I loved this
And I am grateful for you!
Woot for reaching the milestone!
Hahaha I love Pola she lifts my spirits every time without fail 😂😂 I’m so glad you’ve all met her! So much love, the support is really so touching 🫶
The sign of a great athlete, person, employee, ANYTHING, is the ability to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Especially when your physical and mental health is one the line. We are so proud of you and will always be cheering you on! With or without the 100 mile race. You rock!
34 seconds in and Natacha, no one has been let down. You’re an inspiration. Part of doing hard things is knowing what limits you can push and what you shouldn’t push
The same way that I and other people have been inspired by your hard work, we will also be inspired by your sense of balance and the importance of avoiding injury. You're the best Natacha! Just signed up for my second half marathon which I'm training for with hybrid, you don't know how much you add sunshine to my day!
Hello Naomi!! Wow what an incredible goal and journey you’re going through!! How was the first? Did you make good memories?
Your message is really touching, too. Thank you. I’ve felt so much excitement for this after seeing the way people have supported EndoFound and set new goals that I’m just so ready to pay it back but this means a lot. All my love
@@natachaoceane The first one was incredible!! I live in Vancouver, and as you hopefully found when you visited, it's a lovely place to run. I was so excited that you were here, a year ago I couldn't enjoy running and your videos have just completely changed how I feel about fitness. Here's to many more happy memories along with the challenges!
You’re an inspiration because you’re honest about the ups and downs! You changed my relationship with fitness because I realised it doesn’t have to be perfect, don’t feel like you’ve let us down ever ❤
this 👌🙌
It happens girl, you remind us life is not always linear but the point is we can pick ourselves back up, we get back on the wagon. You got this, we got this. Stay incredible!
I do think she should have tried. She tell us too
Easy for mr to say as a 7 mile run is still long
I do wish she would have tried
This is a bit random but reading your words helped me, I haven’t been as healthy as I’d like lately and needed to remind myself that I can just get back on the wagon. Thank you!
@@joannerudolph5028 that’s fair enough if that’s what you wanted 🤍 I know I encourage you to stay with the goal and protect your self belief when things get messy. I could have gone for it given that I wouldn’t have caused a lasting injury, I’m just trying to recover my energy so I can make an even better attempt soon 🫶
some people DO need to push themselves as much. I mean she’s tried so many things most of us wouldn’t. Trying is one thing, trying smartly is another level but this seems to have come from a place of deep wisdom of her knowing her body and her mental state, through other physical challenges and tests. There are other races, she can still try. Sure they say it wouldn’t cause an everlasting injury, maybe, but it’s not exact science. All it takes is one split second of inattentiveness, or that one last mile then 15 years later you are still kicking yourself, (with your 100% good ankle 😊). Life’s a gamble but worse looking back and knowing you should have listened to yourself.
Laying on the couch, covered in hives, watching this very needed advice to be okay with giving ourselves the space we need. Stress and stressful events got me here, and that’s okay. It’s okay to need time to heal. Thank you. I can’t wait to be out there exercising again and feeling the air in my lungs. You let no one down, you do quite the opposite with your honesty.
Oh wow I really really hope things get better very soon! That sounds like it was a little stressful but it’s so nice to be taking some downtime. Sending you love, thank you so much
Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing wonderfully. 💖 I wanted to reach out because I've noticed that Natacha hasn't posted anything on social media lately, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm a big fan of her CZcams channel, and I've been eagerly awaiting updates on how her running training and injury is going. Unfortunately, I don't have any other way to stay in the loop besides CZcams. Could someone please provide me with an update? I genuinely miss her videos and just want to make sure everything is okay with her. Thanks a lot! P.S. Natacha, I wanted to express my gratitude. I'm a sports psychologist, and I absolutely recommend your science-based videos. Moreover, I deeply appreciate the way you address adversity and share the mindset required for happiness and optimal health in sports performance. You're an inspiration! 🌟
hey my friend (: thanks so much for thinking of me, it's really touching. I am doing great and you're amazing for looking out for a friend (: I decided that I want to really focus on my rehab and get this ankle injury settled so I can complete the race and live up to my part of the promise for everyone who's fundraised for our cause. Things didn't go as smoothly with that as I'd hoped (I'll share when I'm back! nothing major, just a bit of bad luck!), and my body also had an unfortunate response to a new contraception I switched to so I'm just taking a second to get back to full strength and focussed. All is good though, there's still so much to be smiling about! 🌈 It means more than you know to have your support and your trust, and to hear that you're in Sports Psychology which I hope you love! You help so many people and I've seen how important your role is in helping people so thanks for what you do!
@@natachaoceaneI'm so glad you're okay!
@@natachaoceane i came to this comment section looking for an update. I wish you a speedy recovery and all the best
As someone with Endometriosis, this video just filled me with emotion. If it takes 3 years it doesn’t matter, never mind a few extra weeks. The fact you have dedicated your body in this way to raise such an incredible amount of money for such an amazing cause is so selfless and honourable.
You will run, you will do it. But you must look after yourself. Which is a message I give myself daily with my endo, I will accomplish all my goals but my body comes first.
Mario your hair looks insane and seeing a man take action for this cause is AWESOME!
Sorry this was such a ramble, I just wanted to comment something because wow I’m emotional 😂❤
You listened to your body and by doing that, you made sure you had the best chances to revisit that ultra marathon when you're ready. Be as kind to yourself as you are to the people who surround you. ❤
As someone who's hurt themselves from not listening to what my body was telling me for injuries and wellbeing, seeing this video is unbelievably helpful. You haven't let anyone down, you've shown true strength by taking that step back for a minute. Do it when it feels right, and know that you helped reinforce listening to our bods for other people 💜
Hey girl, I am 3weeks out from a severe ankle ligament strain. I watched so many videos on how to return to running, and I was convinced that I would be back running within a few weeks. Hasn't happened yet, not even close, and up until this week I couldn't do any exercise. So I've been a mental wreck. This honestly came at such an important time for me, so thank you! I finally have the boot off, and I can at least hit the bike. You inspire me! You will absolutely get there, be kind to yourself :)
same here!
It’s okay to feel disappointed, but you’ve not let any of us down. Sending you love and serenity. Honor your path. We’re all so proud of you ❤
I think this might be a way more important video - showing that it is okay to take rest or say no when something is just too much, not the right time. You just gave so many people a permission slip to listen to their bodies & give themselves grace. You are absolutely amazing Natacha! Much love
as someone who has suffered with endometriosis for 20 years, i am so thankful to everyone who donated. I am absolutely sobbing. for so long we have been told to just deal with it by doctors. all my love
As someone who suffers from endometriosis and wasn’t diagnosed until 2 years after 6-10 ER visits within that time frame alone, THANK YOU 🙏🏽 for bringing more awareness to this topic and for listening to your body. Keep up the damn amazing work, i can’t wait to see more of you ❤️
Girl we know how dedicated you are and how hard you work. I'm so proud of you for not further injuring yourself!
Thank you for always being transparent and such an inspiration 🫶🫶🫶
You know, I've been having such a bad time lately.. nothing has been going as it should, people let me down, certain dreams were replaced by new fears and anxiety, just life doing what life does. I barely spend time on CZcams, but I have been watching every single one of your videos religiously for a loooong, long time. And hey, I just came here to say: You are never a let down. You're incredibly inspiring, your sensitivity and how openly you share your feelings and experiences with us all has lifted me out of some black holes (I certainly dug myself to an extent too :D, see? We all do it). And let's not even begin talking about how you and Mario's relationship and the standards in fitness you set are ABSOLUTE BALLOOOOONERS. I have never loved HIIT and lifting more and although I curse a lot during my workouts, I still enjoy them. So.. keep doing what you do, because I wouldn't know where I'd be without it. :)
I love and appreciate so much how you embody the messages you put out. It’s so amazing to see someone in the fitness space take their mental and physical health seriously while still kicking goals. Thanks for being an inspiration ❤️❤️
Things happen for a reason! Keep going strong 🎉 Thanks for inspiring so many of us to exercise and be healthy overall ❤
You're literally my fitness hero and inspiration. You're a light in this world, and please do not feel discouraged or that you've let anyone down. You deserve to have a reset, a moment to remember you are human, and to make a new goal for yourself. You're amazing, and I will be here to support you in all your ventures! Thank you for all you do!
I ran my first half marathon back in May thanks to your content! You have made such an impact in my life, reminding me and my body what we are capable of after years of stagnation. Dont be to harsh on yourself, you'll run that race in time! We all know you, you dont back down on a challenge simply cause it's challenging ... on the contrary, you thrive in the midst of challenge! So when your body is ready for this specific challenge, we can't wait to see the footage and your process! Thank you for sharing this part of the process with us as well! Sending you so much love and light!
Donated!! You’re my greatest inspiration natacha, you acknowledging your limitations makes me feel OKAY for stepping down when I need to!!
Love you! You have not let anybody down. Sending the message to take care if yourself and your injury is just as important as all of the other amazing content you give us. I'm still inspired to go for a run today!
I can completely relate to feeling defeated, but you are in no way disappointing or letting any of us down. You are so strong and inspiring!
You are amazing Natacha! You could never let us down!
Hey Natacha, as someone who has gone through ankle surgeries on both of my ankles after years of ligament sprains, it seems like such a small, trivial thing but it's so encompassing to people like you who strive to live an active, healthy lifestyle. It's tough mentally and physically - you have not let ANYONE down!
Love you too Natacha!!! Thank you for being a good sample and showing us all what to do if we're ever in a situation where we need to prioritize health and safety despite having set our goals.
so sorry to hear Natacha ❤ there will be other runs! you will do it next time, don't be too hard on yourself and you haven't let anyone down, even if it feels like it 💚💛
You're amazing, Natacha! "Today is not the day" shows real maturity and self-knowledge. I was recently watching a professional piercer talking about the very same thing - times he was lying on the table to get some especially gnarly ones done, and it just didn't feel right in his body. He listened, he waited, and rescheduled, then had really positive experiences when his body was up for it. Huge congrats on the fundraising goal, and congrats to Mario for officially entering his Barbie era!
It's so inspiring to see the reality of this situation! Don't feel like you've let anyone down because it's far more important that you fully recover! Someday you're gonna hit this race and it's going to be awesome! Take this time for you!
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing with us! This is truly so inspiring
Hello ! I saw a sad face. You have literally helped me heal my ED, you make such a massive impact on so many lives ! Don’t be sad. Be proud. ❤
I had to stop right at the beginning to say you didn't let anyone down. Thanks to your videos I wanted to fight against eating disorders, and now I had to make important decisions about knee arthroscopy - and thanks to your videos I stopped panicking about losing my whole form (which of course was exaggerated but I was terrified of the break period). You'll debunk myths and fix people's minds and bad ideas
You have inspired me so much, you’ve help me have a health relationship with working out that it’s supposed to be fun and it’s never to let to get moving. So thank you!!
I love your transparency and the vulnerability it took to share this with us. You are such a role model for authenticity on the internet! And was secretly hoping the second half of the video was you and Mario being silly and you guys never disappoint! Love you and congrats on reaching your fundraiser goal 🎉🎉🎉
This is why you're one of the best! You listen to your body rather than pushing yourself too far, an example that needs to be seen in this industry. It does suck that you didn't get to run...yet! I know you'll be able to do it when you feel like its right! You are incredible Natacha!💖💖💖💖 Congratulations on raising $40,000 for Endo research, let's go!!!!🎉
def agree ❤❤❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable and being real. Last year I was training for a half marathon when I busted my knee. Not being able to do it was really hard for me but I know I needed a long while to recover. But I got to support my husband that did run it. Your body is more important and thank you for sharing that with all of us! You didn't let anyone down.
Natacha this is so relatable. I am so glad you posted this. I recently had to drop out of my first ultra after several injuries and have been so hard on myself. Thank you so much for making me feel less alone. You’re still incredible and I know you’ll crush it when you’re healed.
thanks for leading by example and putting your health first 💚
And shout out to Mario for stepping up and doing what needed to be done! What a guy
even a vlog with sad news is still so heartwarming! You and mario are so fun to watch, and he is ROCKING the pink👙🎠🍭🌸🦩🐽💕 You are such an inspiration, sharing the example to listen to your body and acknowledge the point youre at in your journey and I can't wait to see where you go from here!
It’s so nice and makes me feel so smiley that you enjoyed hanging out 🥹 it’s so nice when we get a chance to share a bit of our lives and just talking to you guys in general so it lifts my mood too. I gotta agree about Mario too hahah it’s taking time to get used to but I’m loving 😂
I so so so so appreciate how realistic you are about how injury impacts the body. I broke my toe this time last year and still haven't got back to 'normal' running because I was over-compensating for it when I got back into training! You've not disappointed or let down anyone - take time to heal, keep working alongside those physios and hope you feel better!
Thanks for talking about intuitive training!! I was feeling quite guilty for having a break from training after a holiday and then feeling quite run down, but you reminded me how important breaks are & that sticking with it in long run is what really matters ☺️
you are not letting anyone down, every time I don't feel like making healthy choices for myself I ask myself "what would Natacha do" 😂 you are a huge inspiration and I feel so so motivated by every video you post !
I hope your life is so happy and full and that you feel fulfilled by the choices you make. Your support lifts me up more than you know so thank you so much.
@@natachaoceane 💖
We all knew Mario was going to pull off the pink hair, right?! 😂
Way to go Natacha - you haven’t let anyone down at all & have raised a huge amount of money for an amazing cause. Definitely something to be proud off! & knowing you, you’ll be coming back with a challenge bigger and better than before 💪💪
So important to look after yourself though and can relate to the wariness especially having what it’s like to be injured and unable to do your normal movement in the back of your mind. Keep going girl 💪
I love the love you two exude around one another. It’s simply beautiful to see
I love your positive attitude! I have my first 100 in the end of August in Wisconsin - I've been watching your vids nonstop. Thank you for all of your tips, tricks, mindfulness, and mental strength!
I always liked running but never could consistently until I stumbled upon your videos. Your running/health/fitness advice has helped me grow to the point I am able to call myself a runner now (I ran my first half marathon this Spring in 2hours) . For that I am forever grateful because it has changed my life physically and mentally. Thank you for being an inspiration and LITERALLY changing my life!!!!
As someone who is constantly struck down by my physical health, I really love to see you being real and honest with us!
I feel with you, let's keep trying and someday we will achieve our goals. 😄
To all of us in this community: Fight on! 🥰
Looking forward to your next video! Don’t let this set back tear you down Queen!
good for you for listening to your body. still proud of you and excited to see you do that ultramarathon
I love the pink shade on Mario. Also I am happier that you are making sure to take care of your health and not pushing yourself and risking a bigger injury by doing the run before your leg is ready. We're proud of you Natacha!
I first found your channel about three months ago....been steadily running and exercising since then. So don't quit, you haven't let anyone down, you've just encountered a setback.
you have inspired me so much - i ran my first 2km yesterday thanks to you! never felt better and so excited to progress. thank you so much and can’t wait to see what’s next for you x
You’re truly amazing! Nothing to feel bad about. You have to listen to your body and what’s right for you! Amazing inspiration
No matter what, I hope you know we’re all so proud of you Natacha and you inspire us just by being yourself. You have yourself the biggest fans cheering you on every step of the way. Love you so much and you inspire me in every way.
P.S how does Mario have the audacity to look THAT GOOD?! So incredible 👏🏻🤣
I don’t believe you’ve let anyone down, the fact that you share not only your goals and accomplishments, but also your struggles and “failures” shows how open and genuine you are, and that you also struggle like the rest of us. For those of us who have had injuries, and have felt discouraged, this is so helpful because it’s a reminder that just because we’re down, doesn’t mean we’ll never reach our goals. Sending you much love and good vibes! 💖💖
I have my first half marathon in September because you inspired me to start running again!!! Watching your journey has been so amazing. You haven’t let us down at all - everything you do makes us all better athletes!
I can’t imagine how much pressure you’re feeling. Lots of love and hugs! Rest, recovery and let it go
Regardless if you were able to do the race or not, there is no denying that you have made a tremendous impact in many peoples lives by doing this!
I haven’t ran in almost 10 years after getting hit by a truck, I just accepted that I would never run again. This 100mile series motivated me to stop making excuses and start trying. I have my first 5K race in two weeks now, I’ve been consistently running 1-2x a week and have been able to enjoy it for the first time in years.
Thanks for everything you do in the fitness and running community, you’ve been a great influence!
the fastest click ever. Hope you’re ok ❤
Same 😅
Same😂😂😂
🩶🩶even your videos of not working out inspire me to workout. And I’ve even changed my mindset to “moving in a way that makes me happy” whatever it is. Weights, yoga, dancing or hiking as long as I’m moving it’s a step in the right direction. Thank you so much for spreading kindness and compassion and motivation. Love you girl!!
Your videos somehow always arrive at exactly the perfect moment for me. I love watching your growth journey because I see myself reflected in it in real-time. Thank you for sharing your brightness and love with everyone!
I’m proud of you and happy to be here with you Lucia 🤍 you’re gonna be so great my friend. I really believe in you 🫶
Hey Natacha I hope you are doing well! I miss your inspiration and encouragement. ❤
I promise you, you haven't let us down. You're so amazing and such an inspiration to so many people. As someone who was always led astray in the fitness/mental health world through influencers you have always been a voice of reason! you have always been here to support us so we all 100% support you through this!Thank you so much Natacha
You’re so inspiring and incredible, mentally and physically strong 💪 you got this, there’s no rush when it comes to achieving your goals! Do this for you, don’t worry about us :)
So looking forward to everything that's to come, whatever form it takes!
i got a pelvic stress fracture 6 days before what would have been my first marathon this February. I didn't have anywhere near the pressures you had for this, but I had people planning to cross states to come support me, and I can absolutely relate to the feeling of letting people down but you really really have not. Your videos have helped me stay motivated and excited to get back to running, whenever that may be. I've been a fan for a few months but already know that you are such a wonderful person, speaker and athlete, and I hope you can feel this disappointment (something you worked HARD for and were excited about fell through) and then get through it. I'm sending you love and peace, I know how emotional and overwhelming periods like this can be.
Natacha, your health is so important and we absolutely, completely understand. We are our own worst critics, please don't feel guilty! ❤❤
Natcha tank you so so much for sharing, i'm going through the same injury as you and i was just feeling sooo down and watching this video really helped me to realize how everybody goes through things like that, you haven't let anyone down, we are so so inspired by you!!
Girl, you can't let anyone down, you're literally the biggest inspiration. 🥺
I injured my ankle 5 months ago, few ligaments were completely torn and I'm still learning how to properly walk...so just take the time you need to rest and recover and be proud of yourself for everything you're doing for us. 💪
Ligaments are the worst 🥲 and knowing when to stop is quite hard so congratulations!
Take care! 💕 (pink hearts for you and pink Mario 😂)
Your health is what's most important. You've had such an impact on so many people just by making these videos ❤
girl YAS. You showed us all that ITS OKAY TO BACK OFF AND HEAL 🥹 I’m currently struggling with a broken finger that I broke while surfing and cannot do much in the gym & feel like my progress is lost and this is GOLD ❤❤❤❤ not many videos around like this, there’s a lot of vids about achieving things but none about how to get back up after you fell 🥰
Thank you for sharing life and its struggles as they are. You make myself and your other followers (I suppose) feeling more confident with our challenging decisions. You definitely do not let anyone down! Keep being so strong in being yourself!
I wish you all the best dear Natacha.
Natacha, girlie. Your heart is 24K gold. We appreciate your accountability but this entire series got me to stop saying something I thought I'd never stop saying which is "I f*cking hate running." I'm in my late 20's and signed up for my first 5k. I plan on doing a half-mar next March. Thank you!! The videos of all of the journey, perfect or not, is incredibly motivating. Thank you and Mario!
You motivate and help so many people and I hope that this motivates you in return. Take some rest and get back even stronger (without injuries of course!!)
So proud of you! It takes courage & wisdom to listen to your body and mind! It's all part of the journey and no matter what happens, you still keep inspiring! 🌺
i was actually worried after your last video that you would push yourself too far. i think it's an equally amazing message to prioritize self-care and safety. your channel has always been about engaging with exercise in a healthy way, and you are once again demonstrating that for us.
Girlfriend! You are the total opposite of a disappointment. The fact that you are so honest and open...it is truly amazing. Some people on the internet come off as not relatable or "not human". I think I can speak for not only myself, but a lot of other people as well. You are such an inspiration and joy to watch. I'm sorry that you're going through a tough time. Just know that you are loved and supported by a bunch of random people on CZcams! Please keep up the great work and if you're comfortable, keep sharing your life with us. Take care of yourself!!
Thank you for showing us what it means to listen to our bodies and put our health first. You continue to inspire us with everything that you do!!!! I am a fan for life 🤩❤️
Natacha, this probably makes us like you even more 😍
You give me power and hope. Since I‘ve started to follow your training programs (first Build, now Move), my life has changed so much for the better! I‘m turning 40 in two weeks, and I don’t want to go back, because with your help I’m stronger and more secure than ever before, and I actually look forward to getting older, because I don’t have to fear being unhealthy or not sporty or anything like that.
Thank you! You will bounce back and do your run in no time
😘
I signed up for my first marathon and was 2 months into training before realizing my body wasn’t up for it and I had to back out. I was feeling so bad about myself and this video feels serendipitous because I applaud you for doing what your body needs so why would I fault myself for doing the same?
Natacha, you haven't disappointed the slightest!! On the contrary, you're showing how to be responsible and how to prioritise health, instead of just doing the challenge for the audience. This is very sound and ethical. I hope you enjoy your recovery time with lots of donughts and gelato! 🍧🍩💕
ps Mario's pink hair looks great
I ran my first marathon after finding your channel and deciding to try something I thought was impossible- one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received was the encouragement you provided!
Thank you 💕
We love you Natacha! Thank you for being so open and honest and sharing your experience. It'll be even sweeter when you cross that finish line and we'll all be cheering you on, when it feels right for you! 🎉
Speaking only for myself, you haven’t let me down, you’ve changed my life. I just started your Cut program, I’ve started pushing myself more and today was the first day i said to my best friend, that i “cant wait to feel good” instead of i cant wait to be skinny. THANK You.
Hello my friend. I am more proud of you than I could express properly and you could know. I genuinely believe that is a mindset change that could be the start of feeling peace and I am so hopeful for you. You deserve everything, I hope you’ll let me know how it all goes for you and how I can ever make it better if you’re not sure of anything ever!
I've pulled myself from a 24hr race when my hip started twinging 8hrs in, so nothing wrong with listening to your body (and knowing when your brain won't take it). These videos are 10x more important than the ones where you just do the thing! Thank you for sharing
