your marathon time now makes a lot more sense.

[@libiith]

Also make more sense why she was so upset her bikes were stolen

[@angelescuaya6733]

me too!! she is amazing, totally inspires me.

[@loneguy17]

Aww...and someone stole her bikes recently...

[@crackedribs]

was just thinking that. hope it wasn't the stalkers man..

[@jlammetje]

Anthony Marquis I understand better now why it was such a big deal

[@taylortruman9218]

[@ashleyhanegraaf6349]

some roads bikes are $1000

[@Dparrey]

$1000 is literally entry level or low end for a brand new road bike in most brands.

[@josuerivera7304]

Oh no, this is why she was so sad about her bikes being stolen... damn that must have been rough

[@angelicaamora4379]

That's like getting your sedan car stolen 😩 sentimental and price wise.

[@lauraharris8356]

Ok so u can bike, you’ve run a marathon... I think it time for you to do an Ironman

[@Ismail-cm8xs]

Laura Harris What is that?

[@asl2g4u]

@@Ismail-cm8xs 2.4 miles swimming, 112 miles cycling, 26.2 mile (marathon) running

[@olivia-ej3pi]

I'm a swimmer and I have won nationals once. It was totally unexpected because I was only 13 years old and I was so much smaller in comparison to all the others. But that encouraged me to continue swimming even more! ❤

[@jilliansmith103]

[@anikaislam7114]

Hey! Can you do a "how to pick and buy your first bike" video?

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

Get an ALLOY bike for your first bike and make sure it has a Shimano groupset and Shimano brakes on it (THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MATTER). If you want to get faster get a powermeter and learn to ride at 90-100 cadence. Spinners are winners.

[@dongcdfb7c]

+PROcrastiDRIVE Someone had been watching durianrider

[@lukescott4474]

Anika Islam buy used, buy smart. I bought my first bike from an ex racer. $750, full carbon Cervélo, sram group set.

[@appearings]

Anika Islam Go to a bike shop and find a sales person! They are trained to help you out! I just got my first bike a couple weeks ago and it is perfect for me.

[@adamroberts8726]

they are trained to get money out of you, not to help you

[@catiehamilton8194]

Hello Michelle! I'm a junior female track cyclist and I have been to the national championships twice. I would just like to say thank you. You have become an inspiration for me.

[@deanna1843]

Michelle you are honestly the best! I know your bikes got stolen and I am so sorry! Stay strong. I love these stories about yourself and advice to us. Since I started watching you I got more serious about working out.

[@MrStephenkey]

Love you so much. Have you tried mountain biking? It's a big cup of awesome, its like road biking but in the shaded woods and without cars trying to kill you.

[@MichelleKhare]

duh i freaking love mtb

[@MrStephenkey]

I'm so excited for your popularity and I enjoy watching anything you put out. What mountain bike do you ride? Hopefully something full suspension. I am a huge fan of Specialized higher end mountain bikes they are bullet proof, and so durable. (LoL love to see a video of those trail rides!)

[@noerskov23]

I mountain bike alot. its the bomb

[@anyahealy3103]

I love all types of biking, mtb is my shit!!!

[@mariamempin4110]

Lol im eleven and I do that:)

[@akankshaandroid]

I wanted to see that photo of you winning! I'm so amazed by how amazing your fitness life is- hopefully one day when I get a kick up my arse I'll get round to finding something I love. I ride my bike at the moment purely for transport, I can't imagine how hard it must be to start getting into racing mode

[@ambersstuff7948]

You're literally one of the loveliest people on KZbin ☺️💕

[@gracetankard3554]

Michelle, you've gained 30000 subs since your last video! Well done! You deserve it. Not far from 100000, hope you get it soon!

[@MichelleKhare]

omg i know we are SO close! :D

[@BillStrathearn]

What a really inspiring story! I would love to hear more about how you are able to maintain cycling as a hobby while working full-time on other things.

[@eawilker]

Great video! Also, I love how colorful your background is! It's refreshing and different compared to most vloggers who go for a more minimalist thing.

[@charro028]

This made me want to cry that they guys took such good care of you and encouraged you!

[@MattieSaysRawr]

Thats so crazy how humble you are. This is so amazing how you don’t brag about these huge accomplishments

[@tinac.8345]

I'm still so stoked you made this channel. You are literally my role model and made me proud to be who I am (we have a good amount of similarities) 💜💜

[@ranjanasharma1025]

Michelle darling we are close to a 100,000 ....you go girl

[@veronascarpulla1081]

This is a great video, I've been climbing for about a year, I love it more than anything and I am working on becoming professional, this video is great motivation!!

[@zephyrkhambatta]

That's wonderful advice for any career at all. How beautiful! Thanks, and hello from Singapore! ❤

[@jankaduraciiik]

this is one of those videos, no matter how old, that I watch every now and then to get some motivation. I only recently started biking and even though I am a runner in heart, I am starting to fall in love with it, despite the fact that I dont have a road bike, but ride on roads anyways

[@marcar19]

Yes, you really have to love it. I did ballet for nearly 7 years but I realized it wasn't the path for me when it started making me feel bad and started affecting nearly every aspect in my life. I even hated ballet at one point. Many things happend but once I quited I just felt so relieved it was over and ever since then I haven't done something I didn't love again. Trust me, it can take over your life

[@estellelopez6682]

This is awesome, Michelle. Truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

[@zaraf4915]

I showed this to my dad who is a complete cycling nut and he loved it! He thinks you are an inspiration to young girls! You're awesome Michelle!

[@FishFreaks16]

You are such an inspiration for me, you never give up and I aspire to become like that. You are an amazing person who can be and do anything. Thank you for sharing your stories!!!

[@editemiezite4745]

This video popped up after newest video where you told about that big crash. I’m so sorry! Hope you feel better in KZbin. Love you!

[@ThisGrace92]

This is such a great story! It reminded me of my experience joining the crew team in college and all that I accomplished and how it benefited my life. Thanks for sharing!

[@MichelleKhare]

crew is no joke!!!

[@vinodsahai5633]

Hey Michelle! I'm trying to become a olympic gold medalist in gymnastics, and listening to how you never gave up, built the confidence in me to keep going. You are such an inspiration to everyone!!!!!!

You are so inspirational to me. The amount of mental strength your actions and attitude show is insane. Thanks for sharing :)

As an Indian born in another country & as someone who loves and misses sports so much, you've become such an inspiration. Thank you for this simple yet meaningful video. :D

I loved hearing this story! I did my first group ride a couple weeks ago and my group was entirely men as well. It's intimidating but at the same time I felt accomplished! I love hearing stories about women on bikes and hope to be more involved in my cycling community.

[@shanah5824]

[@amirls5915]

leading a solo break away and not being caught out is actually impressive, you got talent girl

[@aylaMJ]

This makes me happy:) I play field hockey as a goalie and this is my first year playing and it crazy what you put your mind to you can do anything! I've been asked to play for a U16 provincial high training team, it's truly amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it :)

[@cherrysoda88]

Michelle, you are so inspiring thanks for sharing your story :)

[@juliamacphee2399]

You were always my fav on buzzfeed so when I found your channel I litterally freaked out!!!

[@iceunelle]

I understand how the time commitment takes a toll on the mind and body. I was a collegiate athlete and had to quit this year because the time commitment was just too much and the sport consumed my life. I'm so glad I got to experience playing college sports and I love the people I met, but it's really hard to balance that with other parts of your life. I can't image being a pro athlete and having another full time job as well.

[@lucyservo6574]

I love this Michelle! ! 😊

[@MsTigerseye77]

Fantastic video! I love your facial expression when you won. So proud of all you have accomplished. Now tell me where you got that back ground! LOL!

[@lulupandalife8258]

thumbed up and subscribed watching your past video. and with this one you have not disappointed me! your content is good :) keep it

[@DoktorSo]

I love these videos almost as much as I love you :D Keep them coming^^

[@casiadamian]

I was soo exited when I first saw you at Buzzfeed on a road bike, because I am a mini cyclist and a professional triathlete at my age (wich is 12, BTW), and I love when people share their stories behind sports and how they got to like sports! In some day, I wish I could affort some carbon wheels and a carbon road bike, but I'm still trying to find money to buy them. I hope you love what you do, and I want you to know that no matter what age you are, you still can encourage people to do what they want! I am proud of me, of you and of all of the true cyclists from all around the world! I am from Romania, and I am proud of the cyclists from here! Mabye one day I will come to CA to a competition (sometime when I get over 18 :) ) Hugs and Kisses from ROMANIA, Michelle! Love what you do, because YOU DO YOU! With love, Damian Casia, 12yrs, Constanta, Romania.

I loved watching this video! Something I've been thinking about ever since I found Ultimate Frisbee was trying out for national level teams or world teams. I always thought that it was crazy to dream about that, that in order to be a professional athlete you had to have been working towards it your whole life. This has been so inspirational! Thanks for making this video
