One of my favorite videos you have made.
Man idk wtf is up with the universe or whatever but you have no idea how much I needed to hear this. My wife actually cheated on, gaslighted, left me, and is trying to take everything ive worked for while running my name down the drain. Oh and to top of all that some of the people closest to me helped her hide it all. Like you I met her while I was in the military and we got married after I got out. She faked illnesses and said she couldnt work. So i saved and worked 60 to 90hrs a week so we could buy a house and have a 6 month emergency fund and prepare to have kids and lay the groundwork to raise them in better circumstances than we grew up in. But i guess that wasnt enough. Really sucks and to make matters worse I was a little b!tch about it ngl. So in stereotypical guy form I got back in shape and got ripped again (didnt buy a sports car though lol) and recently started running again (even my dog joins me). Its tough though Ive always liked lifting but hated running. Seeing you push through that marathon and admit to the heartache youve been dealing with and the extent of how much its affected you mentally yet you keep pushing is pretty damn motivating ngl. So thanks man and keep up the great work!
sorry to hear you got put through all that shite. it's good to hear that you've done something about it and that you've found a good, healthy outlet. i wish you and your dog all the best. keep growing and getting stronger brother. all you need is your dog by your side and your will to keep pushing on. take care and God bless x
Boy ikyfk
This is why you should date men, women suck
She’ll regret it one day. And as for those around you fuk them
Wow. So sorry for what happened with Sarah 😢. Keep your head up, lots of people look up to you. Think positive, you'll get to know someone else and you'll get over that breakup. We've all been there.
Who cares …. it’s a weak even talk about her …..
It’s weak when even think not make video for her.
There is no better feeling in the world than running and completing your first marathon. Running is good for the soul! Amazing job Austen!!!!!
agreed! Thank you very much!
Go ahead with God's will, you will achieve all your successes and about your ex-partner that happens to me, it happened to me when you are more loyal and you do everything for her, it betrays you, it hurts, I am living it but God is with us, I admire your will, that is wonderful, I am still in the process of healing my suffering and I have started to go to the gym to distract myself, what has hurt me best is to exercise for Strengthen Your Mind @@AustenAlexander
Getting through anxiety and panics attacks daily ABSOLUTELY SUCKS and you either come out of it broken, or even stronger then when it started. Glad your the latter of the two, good job man keep it up.
How crazy is this? Last year in March, my 19 year marriage dissolved when my wife wanted out. To keep from going insane, I shifted my focus to running and completed my 1st marathon 7 months later. So sorry this happened to you too and congrats on the marathon. Nothing else in the world feels like that moment you cross the finish line.
man I'm sorry to hear this, but glad you were able to shift focus! 100% agreed
Your first marathon was Catalina?!?! 🤯🤯 Kudos, that's really impressive!! This was truly inspiring, thank you for being so open.
You're the reason im joining the navy, the reason I turned my drinking into an addiction with fitness...Thank you Austen🙂
You made me shed a tear god damn it! 😢 Sending you good vibes Austen, congrats on finishing one of the hardest marathon. You'll remember that for the rest of your life.
You take care of yourself, my man! 💪
lol glad you enjoyed the video!! Thank you very much and you as well
You’re truly an inspiration and a great person as a content creator. You are down to earth and that’s what I love. You encourage me and others to stay fit, as well as knowing how important our mental health is. You’ve encouraged me to begin making videos, and I can’t thank you enough for being a part of my inspiration Austen!
Bro, that was dumb and I’m glad you did every minute of it. It’s alright to visit memory lane. Just don’t move in.
yessir!
Meus parabéns você é muito especial quehido
Austen, you're a huge inspiration. I hope you never stop spreading that message. You never change the world, but you may change someone's world.
You're an inspiration. As men it's fiction that we can't talk about mental health. I struggle myself sometimes because we can be full of pride and you threw that topic out there and it stuck. Kudos and keep that chin up high, sir. I've been following your fitness videos vs the who's and what's and it keeps me going. Much love!
Life is hard...so it's okay to feel these emotional struggle and yet define boundaries. I would love to try my first marathon someday.💯
Austin, you’ve made a big impact on me in my life, and I’m grateful that you do what you do because you do it well, and with a passion to help others. I’m currently training to be a triathlete and hopefully can get a marathon in within the next year or two, and this has motivated me to work even harder. I’m sorry for what happened with you and Sarah, as well as everything else that has happened to you, just keep pushing, keep thanking god for everything he gives you for it is yours to receive and not to take, and keep being a true innovator in a society that has many posers.
You're part of the reason I started running man, makinhg progress each day 💪
That's awesome to hear! Keep it up!
Class Austen! Big inspiration I’m doing the same in a few weeks. Also sorry to hear about Sarah but I’m glad you’re pushing through. The amount of people you’ve had a positive effect on globally is an honourable achievement! Keep moving mate 💪🫡
Amazing job!! Sorry to hear about you and Sarah.
Nice work squid! Love Brooks running shoes...all I've worn for years when running. I ran a half marathon for my 50th birthday in Vegas...solo...I did not train for it either. 2hrs and 44 minutes! (Retired Navy LDO LCDR!)
Austen!
This, is very inspiring!!
You doing this AT ALL is FANTASTIC!
Definitely my favorite video of you by far. I appreciate the transparency and the motivation. Congratulations 🥳
Afternoon Austen,
I just fell upon your videos, and I must say they are so uplifting and inspiring; and it's just Epic to read some of the responses from the people here you have impacted here! The camera work, the presentation, are really done well -- and your voice makes it all flow naturally. Keep it up as it's rare to see such unique, positive, and uplifting material that can help so many in a hurting world. God bless you man! 😎
Thank you for doing all you do! Yes life has its hurdles, most importantly never give up, and always take it day by day. I look forward to all the videos and the motivation, positivity and challenges they have in them.
Austin you are a real insperation. Well done on completing the marathon. 🎉 Congratulations man.
I watch your videos from time to time. But, the respect gained after this video caused me to finally subscribe. 💪🏽💪🏽
Well done! I hit my wall at mile 17 for my trail marathon--but I finished. Keep up the good work and keep growing through life.
Great job sir! I literally shed a few tears. God bless you, your an inspiration!
Man i love your content and you are real. You put yourself out there and made yourself vulnerable to the whole world. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic effort on your marathon! Seriously, that’s a huge accomplishment even with proper training😆. And thank you for being vulnerable with us; you shared such an important message that highs and lows are a part of being human and not to feel ashamed. You’re a good dude!
Break ups definitely suck and most of us here know how it feels to lose someone that wereally care about and someone that has been part of our daily routine. Remember that you aren't alone. Keep up the great work!
Tearing up as I’m about to go into a meeting after watching this!!!
I’ve always wanted to be fit (and this is coming from a woman who is overweight). I lost weight in 2016 and gained it all back over the years. You’re truly an inspiration!!!!
You don’t have to be a tough person all the time keep up the mental health Austin I love your videos and your channel is one of my favorites to watch I had binged your channel when I had found it and every video keep me entertained and engaged
Austen so sorry to hear about your breakup buddy, I know how it feels mate, it happened to me about 3 1/2 yrs ago, it took me about 6 months to work through everything. I had a best male friend who was always there for me who also had previously asked me out, I told him to let me and my ❤ heal and if he asked me after 6 months I probably would. We have been together since and are now engaged. Keep the faith Austen ok it will happen when you least expect it to ok. You're an inspiration mate, keep doing what you're doing ok.
Yeah man! You gotta learn to enjoy "the suck"! Life's a journey and the hard and easy parts are all a part of it!
You’re an inspiration and a beast, bro. Hats off to you, man! Thanks for motivating the masses!
Props to your doctor for being candid with you that he didn't recommend
the marathon to you. Especially for a big guy, the impact on your feet and joints is enormous. In my thirties, I ran five marathons. I can tell you that when I was running well, it felt like all I was doing and running and showering. It's a huge commitment over a period of months to get ready for it. I absolutely admire you for doing a marathon, but man, give yourself a chance to get ready.
Absolute inspiration, well done. Keep fighting the good fight
Way to go man, heavily relate to using fitness to manage mental health. Really sorry about your relationship, Gods got a plan :) You are inspiring every time I watch your videos. You can do amazing things when you set your mind to it! I love bouldering and American ninja courses type thing… Not amazing at it but it’s me against me and my mind. Thank you!
Great job Austen, such determination! I'm preparing for my first marathon end this year, done couple halfs last months
Did swim and Triathlon for many years. The last and greatest challenge I faced, was a Marathon. Unforgettable! Welcome to the Finisher-Club! Greetings and congrats from Hamburg, Germany!
This is awesome! Very inspiring and love how you chose to express everything you’d did in this video. My sister is a Brooks ambassador, I’ve gotta show her this video!
I couldnt run the past 1.5 years due to an Injury. Right now i started training again to lose weight and get back on track.
Your Energy jumps right onto me while watching your Videos.
You made me even more hyped to run again in the near future.
You are a great Inspiration.
Thank you!
I'm grateful for you and the wonderful positive attitude you share in your content.
Great job getting through your marathon, God bless!
Proud of you Austen. You are an inspiration to many
I am a veteran and attempted a full marathon while in-service in Georgia. It had to have been the hottest, most humid day of the year! I made it halfway. I applaud you for your success! I, also, knew that something was happening in your life that kept you from consistently posting. Time heals the heart Austin and give yourself time to heal! You have many great character traits that will continue to keep you strong and successful! ✌️🙏✨️
Thats amazing Austen! Congratulations!
Austen, I've been a long time fan and you've definitely inspired me bro, keep it up and congrats on your first Marathon! Don't let the hard days win.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Running a marathon is something I have on my list to over come in the near future.
Hey Brother you got this! Life must goes on. Thanks for sharing!
I love to see this man. Mind over matter. Running is always the best therapy session.
Thank you!
Great job stepping up to another challenge Austen 👏 💪 love ya buddy
Amazing video man, great job and so much love and respect from the Netherlands💪🏻
This was absolutely insane! I am sorry to hear what happened with your break up! You are inspiration, you inspired me to join the Navy! I am about to go to my first command in San Diego! Maybe next year, I will be out there running this marathon too! Keep your head up! Thank you for all of the cool things you do and keep some of us motivated to be better!
Congratulations man. Huge milestone. Great video. Hope for the best for your future 🤙🏽
I loved this video. Keep up the great work!
Way to keep after it Austen! Keep motivating folks, growing and getting after it. Bravo Zulu brother
Also, God bless you. Your reaching folks and helping people going through the same things you are. Keep your head up. The lord knows your pain and your aren’t alone.
Hey man I want you to know that you're a huge inspiration to me! I went through 4 months of processing with the AirForce and they denied my waiver so now I'm joining the Navy as a Nuc and you've been a huge motivator in my journey!
So sorry about you and Sarah. Just take it one day at a time. Keep your head up, you're one amazing, resiliant human being. Stay positive!
Congrats Austin, keep pushing ❤
I am with you man! keep up! you are a rockstar!!!
Way to finish! Amazing work!
Congratulations. This video is so encouraging.
Congrats man
Happy for you brother
Great video my man! Keep up the good work!!!
Very inspiring! Loved this video
I have been freeloading far too long. New subscriber!! This video was exceptional. I can't run a marathon due to an autoimmune disorder, but i plan to walk one in the future. This just gave me so much motivation.
I stumbled across this and it was exactly what I needed. I can relate as I am on stress leave from my career as a police officer having being diagnosed with Cumulative PTSD. Thank you ! I have subscribed 💪🏻
nice to meet you! Glad it resonated with you and thanks for being here!
Good job, Austen 😎💪
Keep ya head up King!💪🏾👑I watched you before I enlisted weighing 275lb and now at 200lb your videos inspire me and motivate me to keep pushing to get into even better shape!
I literally smiled through this whole video. I love this growth for you
Thank you Madison!
Great video bro! And congrats on completing your first marathon!
SO PROUD OF YOU AUSTEN! WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU MAN!
Super amazed by the accomplishment. Great, outstanding work!
thank you!
Austen this is such a great video just like all of the ones you make… You have inspired in so many ways to do better in my life… I really love the military videos that you make and I thank you for your service… I wanted to be in the navy as well and become military police but because of a mental illness and a few other health issues I was not able to be recruited and that really bothered me…. Thank you so much for doing all the navy videos because it gave me a small glimpse of what it would have been like to be in the military….. I’m very sorry to hear about Sarah I have been following you for a while and I know the impact she had on your life and I also know and understand how bad it hurts when something like this happens…. My wife cheated on me 3 times and it just about mentally destroyed me…. Stay strong man I wish you the very very best and I look forward to watching more of these inspirational videos
Lets get some marathons and running. I use running a lot to clear my head and helps me out so much. Clears my head and helps me keeping pushing
I enjoy watching your videos a lot, thanks for the content! In regards to mental health, i have just gone through a rough 12 months also and it is important to keep pushing, keep taking each day at a time. It is like a rollercoaster and some days you have it, others you dont. Im glad you choose to speak to the audience about this, as there is a stigma around mental health and men talking about it. What you are doing is great and i fully stand by and support what you are educating people about. From the UK, all the best.
Ill leave you with a japanese proverb from Ikigai
'Many small chops, fell a big tree....'
Love you man, You're the reason I started rucking! Go Navy!
thanks big guy! When in doubt, ruck it out!
I am a fan my brother, you are a true inspiration and a credit to human nature. So proud of this major accomplishment and thank you for your service. God Bless America
Thanks man! I really appreciate that - thanks for your support
The finish line feels🥹so proud! Go Austin
I love watching you, you are pretty easy on the eyes but very inspirational ❤ 💖 💙
I would LOVE to watch you train for and complete an IronMan on this channel. Oh man, how fulfilling it's going to be when you finish!
Thank you for your constant encouragement in fitness
Thanks for watching! I appreciate that
Wow so incredible thanks for the inspiration I been watching your videos for a long time now finally making the steps to go into the military I was scared at first but mental health and anxiety is a serious thing I would love to challenge myself to do better everyday so thank you for the videos 🔥🔥🔥🤗🙏🏾💣🎉👋
Yo Austen that’s sick, that housing complex you were running around in looked very familiar. Then when they said your from Chula Vista, I was like no way I live right near him! Awesome job with the marathon and talking about yourself overcoming your challenges. Your an inspiration for all young men like me.
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever done. Props bröther
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching
Not a free loader 😊 subscribed and liked 💯 awesome video and pacing! I’m proud of you brother and proud of all that you’ve overcome. Even more proud of you taking the leap and going all in on yourself. It inspires me daily ❤️
thanks big guy! Miss you
You have made hundred videos but this one said it all. My hat off to you and congrats!
This is doubly impressive because of the times you had the cameraman in your left hand to film you , good job buddy , take care of your heart and mind .
Great job brother, God bless!
Keep your head up man, breakups can be very tough to overcome but you got this 💪
Thanks big guy
Very inspiring, great video man
Hey Austen! Congrats on crushing your first marathon! Can we please get a video of the aftermath of having run a marathon with no training?
Ok as a marathon runner I really respect the hustle super proud of you man this is awesome and incredible it just shows that there no excuse to why you’re not successful
good job! without training, even my first half marathon almost killed me.
Wow, bro. Yur doing great. The Lord gave yu strength 💪 🙏 so Proud of yu.
Love the videos 🤙🏽, I'm joining the navy soon, studying at the moment
You got this big bro 💪
@Austen i could relate also as a former Navy Veteran from 2002 to 2012 September and deployed to 4 different boats and was force to discharge during 2012 and failed friendships and relationships with my family and my ex left me in dark places.... i am also currently on meds and fitness to keep myself tire and go day by day.. even my disabilities have to be kept in check up to today..... stay strong brother, thanks for your service and hooya.
Wow!! Congratulations austin...
Thats right Austen. We are alive...that is a gift. You get another chance to do better, be better, treat people better. Congrats on completing your first marathon motivator. Oorah.
