  • In this video, I'll share the 5 reasons I'm taking on my first marathon. From personal challenges to fitness goals, find out why I have decided to tackle the grueling 26.2 miles for the first time and come and see what I'm doing to prepare. My 5 reasons are highly individual to me so they will not be the typical things you see on UA-cam but rather my own motivations.
    I will also walk you through the running I've been doing in the week as part of my marathon training and the gym workouts I've done. As always, the special little guests make an appearance.

    Great video Aubrey, you are the runner in the street's you tuber but you are definitely a runner! You've got this marathon thing, I have 100% confidence in you my friend. I know that hill in Wimbledon, stayed there last October and walked up it a few times, killer! @flobergruns Happy birthday for Wednesday my friend 🙂

    Bro, if you’re doing your first marathon, the ONLY reason you need is to see if you can finish it. It’ll automatically be a PB!! 🥇

    Aubrey, no one is an imposter. As long as you’re running, you’re a runner. Whatever the pace or the distance. Those who critic are probably not able to do what you do.

    My dude. Welcome to Club 40+!
    You know I'm cheering you all the way. Proving to yourself that you can do it is definitely a solid reason why. Anyone saying otherwise is probably too busy playing Fortnight to do what you do. You're a legit runner.
    A good friend of mine runs regularly, but 12k might be the farthest he's gone and he has zero interest in racing. Never even done a parkrun. Is he a runner? Hell yeah.
    Keep racking up the k's, making last rep best rep and showing us how it's done! 💪 Let's go!

    Hi Aubrey :)
    Just wanted to comment on the shit comments your getting.. Speed ain't making you a runner, consistency is!
    However you are fast! Nobody expects everyday runners to be 16min 5k 🤣 which is the exact reason your content is so relatable :)
    I myself is turning 30 this month with a rather new pb for 5k which is 21:32 but you are truly my main inspiration mister!

    Enjoy the journey, have fun and don’t worry about anything (ok maybe on training) 😁. Pressure is something you don’t need for the 1st Marathon. The kids are definitely a great distraction, so that you can think on other things 🤷🏻‍♂️😆.

    • @AubreyRunning

I would love to make a recommendation on the shoe of yr contender, one that has value technology and a space in its lineage finally... which came outta left field, and that is ADIDAS SL2. I highly recommend this shoe just a brillant, good-looking fun running shoe, and it's cheap... God bless one, love
