Hi Holly, I never comment on your channel I am more of a sit back and watch. But I have to tell you this!! I am 41 and big on my running I always look forward to your videos because you keep it so real and not for attention. Keep up the good work you are confounding 😘
La Roche posay skincare is amazing and doesn’t clog your pores but is great for sensitive skin. I also find that giving my face a quick wipe with micellar water after exercise if I’ve got a journey home helps so that sweat isn’t sitting on my skin x
I needed this video today, because today I am feeling how you were feeling. It’s definitely a cry day for me today. I’m overwhelmed, and I get in my head and beat myself up for everything and anything, so I completely understand how you were feeling. I have to remember to just breathe, and be nice to myself, be grateful for so many things. ❤❤❤❤
I’m so sorry you’re feeling like that, it’s the worst headspace to be in but you sound like you’re doing all the right things. I’m here for you, you’ve got this 🫶🏻
Love how raw and honest you are! I never knew if it was just me but this time of year can really make me reflect on what I haven’t achieved which is only a recipe for disappointment. Pls be kind to yourself, you come across so lovely and humble. Keep doing Holly and the rest will fall into place 💕
Sending love ❤ you’re not alone in having the “just need a cry” day every once in a while - it’s human and it’s not a sign of weakness! Thank you for being real.
Holly, you are speaking my literal thoughts about my running ❤ I have fell off the wagon with my running recently and it has been so tough on my mental state - I feel that imposter syndrome so heavily because of my career position right now and I really have to get back to where I was before because that meditation really makes a HUGE difference ❤
Hi Holly!! I did my first half marathon because you inspired me earlier this year, and I signed up for a Marathon this upcoming May! Thank you so much :)
Holly you are my comfort person🤍. Thank u so much, you and anna (archer) have helped me so much this year with being more confident and knowing that is okay that you are feeling down sometimes. Thank u so much💓.
Hi Holly! Thank you for showing us some of your vulnerabilities, as so many times I see your posts and think how you are the most positive and motivated person. It is reassuring to see that I am not the only one that deals with the occasional doldrums and face break outs. I agree that it is hard to be pointed in a direction at the end of the year. Passing along something I do that seems to help me is that I try smaller challenges in December like new recipes, looking for fresher running routes, and I am currently trying to read one inspiring book a month. You are a beautiful person inside and out and thank you for sharing your journey. Also, self tanner broke my face out too, thank God for good bronzers!
Holly, I love following you and really wish we were friends in real life. You are just such a REAL person and you show the ups and downs of life, particularly as a 20-something young girl, so well. You’re smashing life but also thanks for being vulnerable and showing us it’s not always this amazing and perfect journey 💗 sending love xx
I understand the feeling of “having the world on your shoulders”. Since I started my PhD I am constantly overwhelmed and the imposter syndrome in my constant companion 😅 but I have found that whenever I feel like that what helps me the most is going out breath in some fresh air and go for a run.😊 love you videos ❤
You're such an inspiration Holly! I did my first ever run last Sunday and literally am counting the days till my next one. Also thinking about singing up for a 10k run in late April. Wish me luck!
Doing a half marathon in Feb in Bath! I completely relate to the imposter syndrome as I feel the same about my job. I cannot fathom how I got here and I feel like I dont deserve it. I have been running a while now but lost motivation due to lack of goals! So excited to use SGS to do my half marathon ❤
I usually have a low day followed by a high day so I set my expectations for what I accomplish really low on my crappy emotion days and try and get my long walk in, make sure I eat some chicken and make sure I've had a shower and I almost always feel better after doing those three things. Blessings.
I found using a gel based moisturiser with a hydrating toner layered underneath works wonders. Thicker heavy creams clog my skin badly too. Korean skincare is soooo good, deffo look into it! They have so many amazing gel based moisturisers suitable for breakout prone skin. Korean skincare completely changed my skin
You touched on so many things I relate to and needed to hear right now ❤. Too often I am so hard on myself for being emotional, and I doubt my capability of being able to do hard things. I end up holding myself back because I'm too scared to try. You are inspiring Holly, thank you for sharing your life ❤
I'm just back to running after multiple back surgeries but because of Holly I'm entering a marathon in June , love your content,sending you all the good vibes...happy holiday season
I restarted running today after a month of being sick 🤒 it was honestly so hard but I’m so happy I went on that run and you are such a big motivation and inspiration to me! 🥰
Enjoyed watching this Holly! sometimes you just fancy running a cheeky 21km run like a cheeky nandos haha. i used to crack out half marathons at 7am before work and then it just sets me up for the whole work day where im sitting on the laptop. i run for no other reason than it makes me happy :)
Just did my first half marathon yesterday because your content has inspired me this past year! It was TOUGH but I'm already signing up for a second one in April, haha.
I’ve just looked at my plan on Runna, and I’m scheduled to run 32km on my birthday, but I might swap weeks around and run 25km to mark turning 25. I love how clearly you can think when you’re on the move and you’re outdoors. I wonder if needing to prove yourself is probably, unfortunately part of being a woman. I’m so excited about going to Salford for the university open day in January, I bloody love Manchester. ‘All emotions are in motion’, ‘All feelings are valid’ Loved the Hagrid moment.
pretty sure you’re the ultimate “influencer” because you influenced me to sign up for paris in april (even though i already signed up for berlin hyrox two weeks later!!) lots of love ❤️
Hi Holly, I have been following you on Tiktok for a long time and this is the first video I watched of yours. Just realized we are the same age (might have similar birthdays even) and we run for the same reason. I always used to think that "running was not for me" and this year I tried to push myself and take that arbitrary boundary off of me. I ran a 10k on November and I'm planning on doing 2 half marathons in 2024 :)
I want to go on a run so bad but I can't for a little while since I got a breast augmentation surgery 2 weeks ago (I've watched each of your videos on the subject at least 4 times). I can't wait to slowly get myself into marathon training after my recovery period. You're such an inso Holly 🤩🤩
I TOTALLY AND UTTERLY HEAR YOU !! I feel exactly the same i finished my events early November and Iv been feeling abit meh for the last month or so, as like you say your done with ur training so u feel like there’s nothing to aim for but u ‘cant’ start anything as there’s isn’t really anything in the diary race wise until next year !! And half of you wants to enjoy the down time but at the same time you want to get into the next training block so you feel you have some kind of purpose !! 🤦♀️
For me the ultimate game changer was to workout/run without any makeup, I only wear SPF I learned a lot about skin care from Hyram's UA-cam channel, I highly recommend it to anyone who has any kind of struggle with their skin Thank you for sharing your struggles with us ❤️
Thank you for being vulnerable in this video! You're definitely not alone- I beat myself for getting in my head/feelings too. The book Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff really really helped me get better with this, would highly recommend
Love you Holly you are soo amazing we all have those day's. I wish l could think like you go do my goal and be so determined eventually l will switch my brain of thinking the way l want.. and stick to it. Your videos help heaps. Thank you ❤
This was such a fun Vlog!! I hope your skin is ok and that you’re feeling better. Where are the shoes from that you were wearing at the gymshark event please? 🤍🤍
Just thought I’d throw this out there, but I started taking Spirnolactone for my acne and it cleared up my acne that was a lot like yours. It might be worth looking in to!❤
Love your videos ! Could you show how you do that pretty wing on your eyes ? If I’m not mistaking you seem to have hooded eyes like me and I can’t get a nice looking wing like yours ! Thanks ! 😊
just watched this video, my b-day is on 24.th of Dec, so on Christmas, and I always go on b-day run as well, but to run 28km OMG 😅 hopefully will get to the half at least 😂
HI Holly WHERE did you get your outfit (the black dress I think it is?) towards the end of the video when you were going out for dinner. It was beautiful Xx
I know this isn’t necessarily helpful but no matter what SPF I use, I break out (I’ve tried SO MANY, even the nicest, derm recommended ones). So, I don’t use it unless I’m in direct extended sun…. Also, try not to touch your face - this was a game changer for me! xo
Hi Holly, I never comment on your channel I am more of a sit back and watch. But I have to tell you this!! I am 41 and big on my running I always look forward to your videos because you keep it so real and not for attention. Keep up the good work you are confounding 😘

I like this content mix of food fitness but social stuff too 😊

The collab I’ve been waiting for!! Two absolute crusher, women. Loved seeing you and Lucy together! Thanks for sharing.
You look so beautiful at the event!!! I love these skin and mental health updates. You are so strong and thank you for sharing :)
That is so lovely thank you ❤
Hi Holly!! I did my first half marathon because you inspired me earlier this year, and I signed up for a Marathon this upcoming May! Thank you so much :)

I hope you’re feeling better!! The first one back is always the worst but the fact you’re getting back to it is the win!!!❤
Love the chat about why u run Holly! Can so relate!! U articulated that so well! Exactly how I feel about running x

Aw thank you so much. Honestly they’re ego but I’m going to say DO NOT buy, my feet were in so much pain and still are 🥹🥹
I’m the type of person to have goals as well. Relatable 😊 Also thought I was the only one to have apiphonies while running
Loved this vlog ! ❤
Those overwhelm days are real! Let it out ❤
Just thought I’d throw this out there, but I started taking Spirnolactone for my acne and it cleared up my acne that was a lot like yours. It might be worth looking in to!❤
Please could you do some cooking content? I made your festive pasta bake yesterday from one of your old videos x
You always look glowing Holly.
Love your videos ! Could you show how you do that pretty wing on your eyes ? If I’m not mistaking you seem to have hooded eyes like me and I can’t get a nice looking wing like yours ! Thanks ! 😊
just watched this video, my b-day is on 24.th of Dec, so on Christmas, and I always go on b-day run as well, but to run 28km OMG 😅 hopefully will get to the half at least 😂
HI Holly WHERE did you get your outfit (the black dress I think it is?) towards the end of the video when you were going out for dinner. It was beautiful Xx
Everything you feel is valid and important and okay ♥
I know this isn’t necessarily helpful but no matter what SPF I use, I break out (I’ve tried SO MANY, even the nicest, derm recommended ones). So, I don’t use it unless I’m in direct extended sun…. Also, try not to touch your face - this was a game changer for me! xo
you have such gorgeous hair, i personally love your 'hagrrid' hair
I use that skin care and it’s great!!!
How do u plan your run routes? Or do u just run around the area that you live in? I want to start running longer but I don't know how to plan! 😂❤️
Hey Holly what headphones are you wearing for your runs (sorry if you’ve mentioned this before must’ve missed it!)
Holly you look unreal fresh faced without makeup 🫶🏼
how do you do your eyebrows? are they laminated/tinted?
have you suffered with shin splints at all? if so could you mention how to help it in your next video x
Oh where is this lovely colourful scarf from please?? At 25:15
