I signed up for a “Streak Challenge” through my running club to complete at least 20 mins. of activity (run, bike, walk) for 30 consecutive days. Not quite the Paris marathon I was signed up for but it’s a fun way to focus on staying healthy and to keep moving while we’re “safer at home.”

I gotta say thank you so much Anna and everyone on the running channel. 2 months ago I considered myself to be a coach potato playing Xbox most of the time and hiding from the outside world due to my mental health which i find very hard at the best of times. I got to the point where weight was gaining fast and not much exercise going on unless you can count walking up and down the stairs or to the fridge and back to balance my very inactive life style. Well I finally looked in the mirror and thought something gotta give weather it my weight or me in general and from that moment i joined the gym which I may add iv not stepped foot in one in 10 years... anyways things where starting to move forward but I’d see a lot of people running in the gym and in the park which I really wanted to start to doing but not really had a clue how and where to do it. That’s where KZbin and you guys come in. Iv bin glued to the channel and taken so much in . Iv gone from running a hard half a mile to running and steady 10k in months.Iv lost nearly 2 stone in weight. I feel like a new man mentally and physically 🙂 . Now I’m thinking big here and really want to run a half marathon so today iv signed up for my first ever one in October. I couldn’t of never done this without the support of family ‘ friends and of corse you guys . Running really changed my life. Not just stuck in it. I’m starting to live it . Thank you 🙂❤️🏃♂️

True runners determination to not let the situation win and to still be able to run a marathon in your backyard. Like all runners world wide my planned racers have been postponed till later this year. Still adhering to social distancing rules in Australia last weekend I ran a 21.1km solo time trial around Princes Park in Melbourne (Carlton) instead of running the Geelong Half Marathon I had been training for. Planning on running Melbourne Marathon later this year (October) so fingers crossed pandemic restrictions will be lifted by then or I too may need to find an alternative way of completing the marathon distance. Well done Anna, your finishes medal for the backyard marathon should take pride of place with your other marathon medals.

Back then there wasn't any good places to run, I had no running shoes and was too shy to run in public. Just recently I have outgrown my pair of shoes, too tight for me to run in, so i decided to run a tempo around my yard how I did before. One lap ~ 85-95 m ~ . I had a lot of fun with my puppy chasing after me and me having to swerve and jump around her, was fun :)

Omg this puts mine to shame! WELL DONE. True mental game. I did a HALF marathon around my house the other day - 124 laps!

The Running Channel thank you! I did the toilet paper finish too and even made my own bib number. But completely forgot about the medal! How cool 😎 so impressive

I ran my first ever marathon on my birthday during lockdown. 8 laps of the local reservoir, took me a lot longer than I expected, mostly because i didnt account for how soul destroying the last couple of laps would be!

Great job! Glad you didn't hit the wall...or the fence.

Anna, well done, you are nuts, I just finished this weekend the Ironman Virtual Racing, 5k run, 90k bike and finally a 21.1k run (bike was on a turbo and the runs on a treadmill indoors) and that was crazy. I can not imagine what you were focusing on, I at least I had a movie and tv to watch to distract me as it was utterly boring. Again, well done you are a crazy women with a goal and now with a shinny new medal.

Wow!!! Just an amazing performance, physically but even more mentally! Probably much tougher than on a treadmill as you wouldn’t have to do the 4,000 turns 🤪 Well done Anna and nice bling! 🏅👏
