This video is why people love you - your authentic self, not in it for glory, but for the joy of running, and spreading that joy where you can. You are amazing, and I promise, that one day I will give this a go - just for s**ts and giggles, but it will for and because of you
Probably the most genuine and humble guy on UA-cam. I'm really keen on perhaps starting a channel. I only got back into running during covid. I'm 53 and just love the benefits running brings to everyday life. I think sometimes people of a curtain age give up. But I would love to encourage more people that are slightly older to start running and reap the benefits. What do you think young man? Keep up the great work.
This is exactly my point, those people are waiting for you! Those people need someone to relate to! Also… thank you for such kind words Paul… sincerely appreciate it! Get going and start… reach out if you need to
Thank you for your response. I would love to encourage more people to take up running and improve there fitness, health and well being. It isn't about being a elite athlete it's about improving yourself. Thank you for your kind offer for help I might just take you up on this. Im a confident and passionate person who likes to help others. All the best for 25. I know your go from strength to strength.
I love running. I love running shoes & gear. I love running 5k, 10k, Half-marathons, marathons & Ultra marathons 😂 I Wish I had the confidence to do it. You're smashing it bro! Been so good coming on your journey with you virtually, but having the pleasure of meeting up with you a few times now has been brilliant!
I have read many of your comments even on other channels Paul, I think you’d be great at this! You’re knowledgeable but also very good with this running stuff
@AubreyRunning Cheers bro. I just give my honest opinion on things, and if that helps someone, then great 👌🏻 Doing that on camera seems to be like a completely different ball-game though 😂 You've got wicked editing skills and have always seemed a natural with the camera 👌🏻
Hey Aubrey, I’ve actually started a fitness channel now. I’m an avid runner and I love your videos. I’ve seen you grow from 5-6K to where you are now. You’re content single handedly motivated me to post a video. Thank you for all you do, I hope to get big like you and collaborate with you brotha. All love ✊🏽✊🏽
Fully endorse this message...just start, just begin...don't wait...It will never be perfect...improve daily. Congrats on your 2024 my friend. Onward. 🤙🏻
Thank you sir, we are great examples of just starting and somehow figuring it out as we go. It means a lot to have. Your support on this as we have definitely stayed the course and continue to do so!
Absolutely love this. I started in September and it has brought a new dimension to my motivation and enjoyment of running- and that’s before all the great races and events in 2025! Your channel inspires me for sure to connect with people and use it as a force for good! Thank you for all you do!
thank you for inspiring us! i decided this year to try out youtube for once, and it’s the best decision i’ve made. it’s a slow grind but i love it, it’s so cool to document the journey and share it to the whole world.
Absolutely agree! My channel has stalled because I've had a knee injury meaning I haven't run for ages. I lost my way a bit and had some other life events get in the way, but I'm running London in 2025 and WILL get myself in shape for it. I'll document the recovery and get my channel up and running (pun intended) again! Love you Aubrey, keep doing you.
Brother, THANK YOU for being a motivator! I just started uploading on my UA-cam page because I’m a #newrunner. I’m currently on day 43 of my 75 days challenge and when I tell you I hated running. I truly hated running, I’m working my way back up to 5K from the couch and it feels liberating. Not even as a USMC (Marine) did I feel this motivated to get up and run/walk. Appreciate you, from the USA 🇺🇸 🫶🏾Tamika Denise
Thank you for this brother, I've been grappling with low motivation for my channel and haven't uploaded in a year+, and it pains me to feel the opportunities like those you mentioned slipping away, so this is the jolt I needed to get back on it. I just finished week 2 of a 16 week training block for Saitama Marathon in March so I think I will turn it into a video series of some sort! Weekly videos might be a hard commitment but I'll challenge myself to do so and see how far I can go.
I am a beginner runner, from secondary school I was always at the back of the pack in every long distance race, panting, double vision, I just assumed that running wasn’t for me. Since then I started at the gym for two years thinking it was me that wanted to get big and muscly and what have you. Hearing of the benefits of regular cardio I thought maybe I should give it a try again, first run, absolutely sucked I was tired I was achey but then this magical thing happened and when I recovered I felt this feeling like damn this could be a new normal? This is what people are talking about? So now fast forward two months I am chasing my genetic limit as a person to see how elite I can get over a decade. Maybe I should start a channel to show people that even with no cardio experience, by listening to your body and taking it slow, within two months I am running 26 minute 5km which I never thought I’d be close to, I know I can get that number down loads as I’m so early on and it just excites me to see how far I can go and all you channels I have to thank for getting me interested and bringing out a new passion for me that is defo here to stay!
I already have a channel for keeping my memories, mostly unlisted personal stuff. Yours is hard work. I couldn’t do it that well, that’s why I have you in my favorites.
That’s very kind of you, I would challenge you to just try, I promise they get more interesting and better if you just dare to publish them and practice the whole process
I started the day after watching this video. I’d been overthinking about doing it for way too long watching your video gave me the inspiration to start. Thank you 👊🏾
@@AubreyRunning I appreciate the kind words bro! I am not stopping no time soon I love running and making these videos too much lol. I will write you on IG.
Hey Audrey thanks for the vid, just like many people I’ve thought about this for some time. I'm definitely gonna start something to do with property and health, I’ve already got recorded content but haven’t released anything yet. It would be helpful to know what editing software and other essential stuff you use to film and produce your content. It maybe a good subject for you to cover in the future. Keep doing your thing and adding value, thanks in advance Col
Hi, I follow your videos on UA-cam and I want to take this challenge. I've actually been debating myself on whether to actually start a channel for some time. The thing I find an issue is, being in Malawi, monetisation (or lack thereof) and exposure are real issues. It's so inspiring to see what the platform has done for you and countless others but it's just so hard to see the same working in Malawi (I actually got excited to see a Malawian runner/content creator succeeding, just that it's not in MW and much as it's nice to relate, I find myself wishing it was different for Malawian content creators). Any tips or pointers?
I hear you but I think the goal should not be monetisation especially because of the limitations Malawi has. I think the monetisation will come and the exposure will definitely come as a result. I think the challenge is standing out in what seems like an oversaturated space. I agree that Malawi as it is also poses a challenge but maybe that’s where your opportunity lies. What about Malawi makes you and your channel unique… that’s what I’d focus on.
This will sound overly simplistic… but 2 things… add value to viewers (teaching, motivating or just entertaining) and make it as good as you can and learn how as you go how to get even better. Lastly… do it all your own way
@ I would love to start one but the other worries get in the way, I live running and fitness and computers and tech but feel if I make a video about running I am competing with the likes of you who are well established and it would the same content and with no traffic how would I continue and I am a person who can’t just jump in and film and need a script or something (not sure how you do it) but I am not a good public speaker and without any idea I would just stumble through it, those are my fears
Hey Aubrey I wanted to ask you some questions I started running. About a year ago I went through a 100lbs weight loss transformation and just want to spread my knowledge of weight loss and my joy for running on UA-cam I’d love tips to get started. I have pictures of me through the weight loss I was 265lbs now I’m 165 much love brother ✊🏾
Sir I was already planning on starting a running Instagram page. Thank you for this video bullying me into it 😂 Lol but in all seriousness, I started running in June, originally to train for a sprint triathlon that I never ended up doing because of overtraining. Figured out I like the grind of improving my distance running after thinking I hated it my whole life (caribbean background, we're sprinters lol). Did my first half marathon in 1:46 which is pretty decent, and did a 10k yesterday in 46:33. So I'm no Ben Is Running but I've got potential. I figure it'll be cool to document my journey of hopefully running all the majors. Getting flown out for races would be great but shoot I'll be happy with free gear 😂 Anyway if you read my random story, thanks for the inspiration brother! Love to see a fellow darkskin brother killing the content game. Keep doing what you're doing.
Let’s go my man! I’m in your corner… all you need to focus on is being yourself and stay consistent, you learn so much in doing that. Many start… not enough stay the course and do the course justice
Honestly speaking… whilst I’m grateful for any attributes I may have, we are all blessed with being our true selves and that’s all people want to see. If you just stay true to you, your tribe finds you. I promise you
Hey Aubrey, do you think having a really interesting personality or being a charming conversationalist is needed to succeed with a UA-cam channel? You are doing great because you are convincing enough to sell water to a whale lol.
I strongly believe that whoever or whatever you are, if you just stay true to who/whatever that is, the right people will find. You might be introverted or awkward but there are people like that looking for someone to relate to
This video is why people love you - your authentic self, not in it for glory, but for the joy of running, and spreading that joy where you can. You are amazing, and I promise, that one day I will give this a go - just for s**ts and giggles, but it will for and because of you
Such a kind thing to say, thank you so much for this 🫶. Please don’t forget to give it a go whenever you get a chance. No pressure.
Couldn’t agree more with your comment!,

Do it, you won’t regret it!
This video pushed me into taking the leap and start vlogging after my runs. Keep up the good work brother 👊🏾
Do it! Do it! Don’t think about it, just start and give it your best, you will refine as you go
