How I Stay Motivated to Run (Even When I Really Don't Want To) | REI

[@M0USEP0TAT0]

Looking forward to shopping a unionized REI!

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

Thank you! I sent feedback and delayed my order.

[@amraa23]

I want more videos with Alan please!

[@aaronedgeart]

Agreed!

[@rei]

Thanks! We appreciate the feedback.

[@dylandarter471]

@@rei Unless it is Pro-Union right? The email y’all sent me as response was so dismissive it makes me realize y’all never cared about me as a customer lol

[@czarsean1]

RECOGNIZE THE UNION.

[@louspeed1]

I appreciate hearing about what gets you out the door. I like to tell myself that I should go for at least 15 minutes and if I’m not feeling it, I can turn back. After 15 mins, I almost never want to stop.

[@Mulvihill646]

Cool. How about now you recognize the union.

[@sarahwilliams423]

I needed to hear this! As a new runner with asthma, some days are really tough. It’s good to know I’m not alone and that I am capable of pushing past the tough moments. Thanks for sharing!

While I usually love your online content, I'm afraid I won't be consuming any more of it until REI's leadership stops union-busting and allows its workers to organize without repercussion.

[@hollyherald7324]

Let your workers unionize. Be the company we know you are and can be and that many of your customers are loyal to and believe in.

This is a great video and not what I was expecting at all! I’ve never heard anyone give gear as a motivation, but it’s totally true. There’s something fun and satisfying to use great gear for its intended purpose.

[@fefesassy]

Thank you for sharing! Running a half marathon this Sunday and needed a bit of motivation.

[@LOLEliSays]

Cool! Thanks for your insight 🌟

[@rei]

Absolutely!

[@taviparker4993]

Will check on those shoes for my husband. You have a very pleasant voice. Thanks!

[@JG-sc8sf]

I've switched my strength and conditioning to a gentle bimble after watching this video. Imma run tonight. Hello my cardio. Thanks Alan! ^^

[@robinnovakfitnessandnutrition]

Awesome- thank you needed to hear this today. I love running, but have gotten off track gonna lace up and get our there. 💯 on getting outside, for better health! Great video!!!

[@rei]

That's awesome Robin! Glad you are inspired.🏃‍♀️

[@JillianCampsArizona]

Nice video here and it looks like you really love running. Excellent tips here! 😊

[@ellelewis1963]

Thinking “how much do I have to run to eat this date” doesn’t sound like a healthy mindset to me

[@dylandarter471]

Let your employees unionize!!

[@icecreamforever]

Thanks Alan.

[@russelljackman1413]

Great video! Thanks, Alan!

[@rei]

Thanks for watching Russell!

[@cindyhefty1916]

I’d like to hear about how you manage your asthma. I live at 8,000 feet. I have an attack when I run way too often.

[@HeatherMoreau]

Now I’m super excited for spring Trail Running! Thanks for the video :-) I feel the same way about Running and social time and I never ever want to be the person who bails on an early morning run! My sister lives up in the Seattle area, any favorite trails to recommend? Thinking I need to get up there this spring!

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

Most excellent, Alan! You deserve a nice strong coffee in your thermal cup!

[@stacymadson-jensen8022]

What are the books and podcasts you listen to?

[@sleepyhead27]

Do you have to be a REI Emp to post on REI channel?

[@rei]

You get us! 😊

[@soberanisfam1323]

I shop at REI bc I thought they were unionized. Due to the comments I'm guessing they are not

[@dannybockius2255]

WHERES MIRANDA

[@chriskramer1307]

Motivation? Some say I run from my responsibilities, 😉. Don’t believe that!

[@BillySBC]

Pretty sure Miranda is in jail for insider trading at this point.
