  "Every runner talks in miles" as a European I would like to politely disagree lol

  Shout out for being a really fit person who hasn’t lost sight of how to talk to true beginners to set them up for success with realistic expectations. I think a lot of people forget what it was like in the beginning and misgauge difficulty for those starting out.

  As a new and slower runner, I found not only are other not judging you, they ENCOIR you. I can’t believe how many times a faster runner told me “you’re doing great” or “keep at it, you got this” as they passed me.

  Running tip: always encourage those around you! Even if you are faster, or feeling fresher. Give a thumbs up, tell the person who is struggling that “you look strong! Keep it up!” It’s amazing how much that helps them and keeps the community loving and strong together.

  I used to be a strictly weight lifting and walking girly, but started to build up my running endurance the last 3 months and WOW. I love it. My first goal is to run a 5K without stopping (~ 30min). I’m not fast at all but idc, I love seeing the progress in my runs and especially in my health. My RHR dropped nearly 10 BPM since I started running. I feel so good.

  I run ultras, marathons and all distances and for me the most important thing for anyone in the Thick Thighs club like me is: Biker shorts for the win! &nbsp; I cant go more than 5km without chaffing. i wish i could wear the super short flowy shorts Keltie wears but no antichaff cream/talcum powder etc saves me. &nbsp;The biker shorts are comfy AF, never ride up and ASOS do them super cheap!

  I&apos;ve been running since... I think I was 12? Making it almost 20 years of running! And honestly, running transformed my life. <br>I started out as a chubbier kid who just wanted to up her fitness, so took up running one summer... came back to school pretty fit, joined the school track &amp; field club, then did my first 10K race! <br>Since I graduated high school, I&apos;ve moved between 5-6 countries/cities, and running has always been the one constant thing in my life. Whenever I&apos;d move to a new city, I&apos;d use running to explore the area, and stay fit. <br>Running for me was an opportunity to unwind, to get time for myself, to clear my head from thoughts... or the opposite, to figure out answers to big questions. <br>Since moving to Finland 2 years ago, I started joining more races, and hitting personal bests in my 5k, 10k, and now, more recently I ran my first half marathon race, finishing in under 2 hours!<br><br>Running is beautiful, because it&apos;s brought both discipline and a lot of freedom into my life. It&apos;s awesome to see a resurgence in interest for running, and I&apos;m excited for all the people finding running for themselves! &lt;3

  I’m a 30 year old male who relatively recently got into running after years of weight training.<br><br>I never focused on cardio and instead just did it as an afterthought. Over the past few months I’ve been spending less time in the gym and more time running. <br><br>The mental benefits and sense of freedom that a run gives are second to none. Maybe it’s just the change in routine, but I think there is more to it than this. <br><br>It has helped me become more toned, improved my mental health and made me fall in love with training again, instead of just doing it for routines sake. <br><br>I’m now able to regularly run 10K and have signed up to my first official 10K event in June. <br><br>This is a great video. Keep up the content. Very informative whether male or female.

  It’s SOOO important that you’re talking about the fact that running isn’t for weight loss. Running is a high intensity sport and hormonally for a lot of women it can actually put you back in your weight loss journey. For me, it’s all about my mental health - I LOVE running but it gives me hives and causes me to retain weight as compared to walking or low-intensity exercise. I’m not willing to trade it but I’m trying to figure out ways to keep it in my routine without jeopardizing my health journey. Thanks Keltie 🙏
