I decided to film the weekend of my first ever race, a 50km ultramarathon through Exmoor National Park. I only started running three months ago, so hopefully this video will change how you perceive your own potential, whether that be athletically or otherwise.

A huge thanks to my main man Toms Majors for driving and helping me film this video, and to everyone who's supported me on my journey so far. - Sport
you and your videos have literally inspired me to start doing more running/exersize and eat way more healthy, thank you so much ✨
Keep at it!
I’m eating cake while watching this lol I feel like I’m living vicariously through you
“What have you got to lose?” I love that statement. I want to be more like that
Just Stef I want to be just like Adrian!
SushiRoll Speaks honestly same!
Literally the Howell brothers or keeping me going. “ have the courage to exist” because “ what do you have to lose?”
Some psychologists say that "what you admire most in others, are actually unutilized strengths within yourself".
We love a resilient boi
We do
Your videos always seem to be posted at the perfect time! I'm resting right now as I just ran my first half marathon yesterday. I went into the race with low expectations because I think I was subconsciously categorizing the dozens of other participants as 'running people' or 'real athletes' and my mind was just set on not finishing last. At the starting line, I NEVER would've imagined that I'd finish in second place. It's the most surreal thing in the world, and something I had no clue I would ever be capable of doing.
The thing you were saying about breaking the race into small checkpoints is really useful, as I definitely feel that there were times where I was thinking "oh crap I feel like dying and I still have 5 miles" that might've slowed me down. Breaking it down seems like it'd be a great way to stay mentally strong through the race.
I didn't realize you were vegan! If you ever mentioned it in a video I must've missed it. Your potato bowl looked amazing! I feel like there's always a sort of social stigma around even talking about veganism, especially on the internet, but it'd really be awesome to hear about your journey and get some recipes if you're into nutritional eating! I'm always looking for new things to make.
I just realized how long this comment was, whoops! Just wanted to thank you because it was your last ultrarunning video that inspired me to sign up for that thing spontaneously. It was awesome and inspiring to see your first 50km, great video!
vegan enthusiast congrats on coming in second!!!!! That’s absolutely amazing!
wow that's so cool to hear, thank you! congratulations on your half marathon!
vegan enthusiast this is amazing! congrats congrats!!
You finished second? Wow! You must be talented!
in a world of expectations and fakeness, this video is a relaxing break of reality and authenticity. as a cross-country competitive runner, thank you for inspiring me to pursue my dreams of getting faster, (hopefully) running a marathon, and pushing through injuries and bad runs. thank you for being such a motivational force!!
You have such a nice calming voice
i used to run and i only got up to being able to run 5k and then i fell off the wagon and succumbed to mental illness. seeing the moment you crossed the finish line has inspired me to find that passion for running again.
Adrian, you must be so proud of yourself! I don’t know how you managed to stay so positive throughout the whole thing. I love how you are so genuine and honest with your audience, CZcams needs more people like that! Keep it up, you are clearly spreading a lot of positivity! 👍
you may not realize it but your videos have helped me and so many other people. i have anxiety and your videos have helped me calm down more times than i can count. you truly are an incredible human being. thank you for being you.
My lungs hurt watching this
*same*
it had me coughing
jesselle lopez ikr I need to grab my inhaler
"Whether you think you can or can't, either way you're right" is such a good quote. Once again, I'm inspired to make sure I eat well and get some exercise - now that exams are over (and fingers crossed my degree) I can really focus on these things I've been missing a lot more, which I'm looking forward to
Something really cool that really pushes your out of your comfort zone is the run for your lives zombie race. It is annually held in Sweden (not sure if it exists in other countries) it’s basically a 6.5 kilometre run where you have three lives and along the way there are zombies trying to grab your lives and it’s really scary. Especially if you run late in the evening. It really pushed my comfort zone and it’s an amazing experience. Even if you don’t finish with all or a single life it’s an amazing experience. If you get the opportunity to try it, you definitely should! It’s life changing.
I used to think I was pretty active and I have now realized I am doing only the bare minimum lol
Same though
*HOW U STILL ALIVE*
@Maeve Yarbrough omg 😂😂
Maria Chrysanthou stay alive
omg the worst and the best feeling was just presented: being nervous and excited at the same time about something. you were so brave to do this! congratulations!
Adrian, how do you do this? I can barely run 2 laps around my schools track.
just keep showing up, day in day out, be patient and you will see results
@@adrian.howell Thank you so much! It's been harder to get outside as it is been getting cold, but I will try to get outside as much as I can. You are such and inspiration to so many people, including myself. Thank you for all that you do 💜
Lol same
HI LIZ HOW YUH DOIN'
ineedtostopscreaming OMG YOU ARE A WHOLE MOOD!!!!
This....this was probably one of the most inspiring videos I have ever watched.
Your strength, determination, and excitement through the race, and just your wisdom and amazing advice, truly was an eye opener for me.
It is absolutely astounding what you do and accomplish, and I'm sure your future is going to be full of fulfilled dreams and changed lives~
Thank you for this Adrian~
You are so fantastic~🧡🧡🧡💛💛💛
Adrian, thank you. I am a 19 y/o overweight vegetarian who’s been held back for so long by her own head, seeing all these people with perfect bodies and an incredible vegan diet making it look so easy - I’ve felt for so long that I was just a huge failure for not being able to stick to anything, be it regular exercise or a purely plant based diet. But the way you talk about how you used to drink and smoke and be the antithesis of a “sporty” person, the way you philosophise and just stress the importance of “one step at a time”, you’ve honestly inspired me beyond anything anyone else has to start running, and start making simple, healthy meals to lose the weight that’s kept me insecure for all of my teenage years, as well as gain the self respect I’ve lacked for so long by proving to myself that I can live a life independent of animal products and that I can be strong, healthy and motivated. You’re a wonderful human being Adrian, thank you for sharing. And well done!!! 😌🏅🏃🏽♂️
Wow this is honestly so cool, thank you so much for sharing this! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, good luck on your journey!
Honestly the Howell brothers are like the best of both worlds
not even 3 minutes in, and you getting into your deep thoughts then laughing over it gives me so much joy
I've just stumbled across this video again after watching it for the first time years ago! At the time, I was maybe 19 years old and just getting into running shorter distances (up to half marathons) on roads and hadn't even heard of ultramarathon running. I was going through a difficult time in life and I remember coming across this video and feeling so inspired. Within a week, I started running in my local forest and had signed up for some trail races. Since then, I've run two 100km trail races, multiple 50ks and countless marathons. Running in nature is such a precious part of my life now and it’s hard to imagine life without it. So anyway, I just wanted to leave a comment to thank you for introducing me to the world of ultramarathon running! ❤️
I think I was as exited as Adrian was to see the flapjack. That was my favorite food in England.
thats 31.069 miles. i cant even do 3 miles but you motivate me to want to try harder✨❤️
Started having an anxiety attack over late homework, came straight over here to see your positive videos and calming voice and persona and golly darn did it calm me down and give me strength
Also, *this man can cook*
love you adrian 💗 so inspirational!!
This is so inspiring. Honestly everything Adrian does is inspiring. Especially if you remember that this is what he's doing now, and he's only 21 years old. I can't even imagine how much more he will improve, and grow as he gets older.
these videos are really nice and inspirational. thank you for posting these theyre so amazing!!
this video made me smiling and sooo inspired, thank you Adrian

This is incredibly inspiring and has helped me get out and enjoy the outdoors! Thank you so much!
Your content is extremely relaxing, and I love how authentic you come off.
What a great video for my birthday. Thank you, Adrian!!
Yeees! I was hoping for a video about this! ^^
It’s so calming to listen to you talk and just the way you edit makes it even better
you're our true inspiration.
thank you for all of your videos.
you have no idea how much you influence people.
I love how happy you are towards running! It shows the passion and the excitement you can receive from something. Thanks for helping me realise!
I feel extremely happy and inspired after watching this :') congratulations, man, this is amazing!!
I've been in one of the lowest points I've been at in a LONG long time and I really needed something like this. Every single one of your videos inspires me and lifts my spirits. I hate to bring any negativity here and I hope I'm not doing that, but I wanted to let you know how much this helped. You're always so deep and caring and it just really resonated with me. Bless you for this and for just being you. Love ya loads!!!
This was incredible! Whilst I may not be running marathons and I'm certainly not as athletic as you, you've inspired me to get up and actually do all of the things that I've been putting off. I just wanted to say that you are a _huge_ inspiration and I hope that you find happiness in everything that you do.
Wow this is one of the most inspiring videos I’ve watched In a while. I bet you are so proud of yourself! :)
i really love u! You’re so inspirational
People out here doing things like this, and I still complain about having to do gym class. I aspire to be like this xx
Also, I hope your knee is okay!
thank you for making this, truly. watching you so happy and fulfilled from running made my not so great day better. please keep up the amazing work.
This was so inspiring and you had amazing video skills!! Awesome Adrian 😊
Your videos are so inspiring I always get so excited when you upload. You really have made me want to get back into running and push myself harder than I have before!
congrats adrian!! also you've given me an intrest in sport that no one else ever has and i'm considering going to the gym again/ starting running! thanks :)
Omg you and your vids have inspired me to start exercising more and eat healthier! Thank you so much Adrian✨:3
hey man, i just wanted to say i love your content and i think it's awesome that you're using your social platforms for postivity and helping and inspiring people 💕
Congratulations Adrian! Your effort has really payed off. I hope I will lead as healthy of a lifestyle as you someday!
watching you just before the race laughing and so excited was getting me so hyped and kept me smiling!! i love how you just engage and just love what you’re doing and sharing with us like this!! probably my favorite video of yours right now!! great job adrian super proud of you!!
Such an amazing video to start my day here! 🇦🇺 It's incredible how much second hand determination and pride you can feel from watching this
this is awesome dude!! you really inspire me to get out there. i’ve been going on walks a whole lot recently just on my campus, and i couldn’t have imagined myself doing that just a year ago. keep on pushing and growing! i’m excited to see what will come next!
I really enjoyed seeing your journey and seeing your results. I'm really glad you completed the race, despite your minor injury. You really have inspired me and so many others to make changes in our lives, both big and small. Can't wait to see your next adventure.
I also appreciate the picture of Chief from Isle of Dogs on the wall at the beginning of the video (I'm a big movie fan so I was so shocked to see that)
This is awesome Adrian, I am immensely proud of you! I swear your happiness and positivity is contagious I was smiling the whole way through. I'd like to say that you are definitely succeeding in your goal to help others. It means a lot to see someone out there trying to change the world for the better while encouraging others to do the same. x
Also bless Toms Majors for helping you, he seems like a pretty cool dude!
you always inspire me to actually go outside and exercise and it has massively improved my mental and physical health. Thank you so much 💞
An ultramarathon looks like so much fun. Connecting back with nature and being with a community like that is incredible. I’m curious about running but I have asthma and worry about not being able to breathe well while running. It has never been something I was great at but seeing the connection you can have with nature is calling to me. Every video inspires me more congrats on completing the race man.
this is was so inspiring. it was a beautiful video which has somehow convinced me to try and get past my lowest moments, whether is exercise or anything, you are a massive inspiration and support too. thank you so much.
You’re so inspirational I mean I barely leave my room but I want to get out and be more active and watching you makes me want to do that
Inspirational... It gets really hard but hearing things like this pushes everyone
absolutely incredible and so so inspiring! so proud of you and how far you’ve come in so little time. you totally crushed that race!! (and your knee ouch ouch)
watching you run through the pain with so much distance left to go was astonishing, your willpower and determination have to be made of steel! seeing you be strong like that helps me find my own inner strength, thank you!
(unrelated side note, but i just woke in the dead of night from one of the worst nightmares i’ve ever had and i needed a distraction to keep me awake. i am so so glad i chose one of your videos, you’ve given me the courage to face my dream demons once again and go tf back to sleep lol)
It's like reliving all the feelings I went through before my first ultra :-) Respect and congratulations to you!!
honestly this was so inspiring like not even just with trying to be active but like just showing that the right mindset can help you push yourself through anything and I Really needed that right now, I loved this, thanks man
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your video. It gives me hope and inspires me to want to get up and really work hard to achieve the health I’ve need to have. Not to get lengthy but I’ve had the worst year health wise of my life and since watching your channel, you’ve helped me believe that maybe I can change that for once, so thank you Adrian and I look forward to your future videos.
You’re inspiring me to live a better life, something no one else has ever done. Thank you for being amazing.
You’re amazing and inspiring! Also, know this might be strange, but I love your nervous/excited laughter before the race. ❤️❤️❤️
This whole video resonated with me so much!!!!
I am so proud of you! You inspire me every day to put more effort into eating healthy, exercising, and making art. Thank you!
this has really inspired me to pick up running again, thanks for showing that if you really put your mind to it you can do it. Mindset is everything.
One of my biggest inspirations, truly. Not only do you make me want to do more, your videos are so nice, calming, and just put off amazing vibes. love you!
I am still at the beginning of my re-introduction to fitness and its really hard for me to keep motivated, but you and your videos continue to inspire me to keep going. Thank you :D
You are amazing. I just have the desire to give you a hug whenever I watch one of your vids.
(it's funny that you and dan are brothers, you're like polar opposites and I love it. love what you do, good luck!)
This was incredibly inspiring to watch. Your passion and joy for running is so obvious and makes me smile. I've just started exercising again but I have trouble motivating myself to run, your videos and words help a lot.
I’m so thankful you decided to share this with us, Adrian. Not just this video but yourself as a person and this channel. Authentic and unscripted and honest and inspiring - you’re your own person and brilliantly so.
when you make videos like this, i always feel so inspired. it's incredible to see your journey and you appear to be so incredibly mature - you're aware of what you can do and give amazing advice. one thing i would like to say though - even if i don't have the time to do any of this myself, i know i do want to start including things like this as soon as i do get some time.
no but really, your videos inspire me so so much to things outside of my comfort zone. the only thing that i feel like is stopping me is my thoughts and self doubts but your videos, especially this one helps me so damn much on that, so thank you
Proud of you, and hopefully someday of myself for achieving something for which I'd have to push out of my comfort zone, it isn't always the easiest to do but seeing and learning from someone on the same path as what I'm looking forward to really helps.
So thank you.
Dear Adrian
I have recently started to watch your videos, and I love it!!
I love the way you show the world not only through a camera lens but rather the way you conceive and appreciate it, the way you edit your video feels like a story that one tells around a fire , it's so inviting and warm that I could spend hours just watching your videos
Your smile just lights up your face and the screen, your personality is so inviting and your voice is comforting :)
I still can’t believe you’ve only been running for 3 months!! That’s amazing! Congratulations 🥰
It always brings me joy to see someone getting healthy and finding the pleasures of exercising. Also, your videos have a very chill vibe, keep it up ♥
am I the only one who finds Adrian’s voice so calming to listen to.
We are so proud of you!! You are my main inspiration to start getting my crap together. Because I hate myself and seeing how much that you've changed since you were 16 it makes me see that I am actually beautiful in my own way. It sounds dumb and it makes me seem full of myself but view me the way you want because I can think way worse about myself than you can. But then again... Adrian, you are an inspiration
This is crazy!! You're a total beast, man!
Enjoying these videos - I hope more people start running as a result
You know, it is amazing how fast my mood changes when I see that you uploaded a new video. These motivational speeches of yours really keep me going and inspire me not to give up, but to remember what I am striving for in life. You are amazing, and I don't know you very well - but I can still say I am proud of you. And you should be too. Quitting smoking and drinking and unhealthy habits must've been hard, and I appreciate that you made it and turned into an inspirational personality that wants to share its story with others, to help them.
you’ve inspired me to start running! me and one of my close friends are going to start working out and work our way up to a race on the great wall of china !! thank you so much!
you’ve inspired me to take up running in the new year!! thank you for your inspirational videos
I loved this film, the story, the quality, everything. As a young, beginning runner without any athletic history or experience, it’s inspiring to see other runners my age testing their limits. As I was watching this, your words echoed all the lessons I’ve learned from my time on the trails, and I know this will be helpful to other runners. Congrats on your first ultra! I hope to see more great content from you in the future!
You're such an inspiring person!💛
I've been going outside a lot more because of you so thanks !
