I RAN A MARATHON | Running my first ever marathon in Paris!!!

[@jessssalemme]

What a beautiful place to run a marathon! I have only done a couple half marathons and they were TOUGH so props to you girl! ❤

[@hollyb_fitness]

It was stunning!! Also thank you so so much xx

[@sachabold7928]

Hi Holly, I am a French girl living in the south of England for the last 7 years and I started to follow your fitness journey 2 weeks ago and I am now a huge fan to the point that I am about to start my running journey as your posts and videos on your social medias motivate me so much ! Also, watching you doing the marathon in the town I come from, in my country, motivate me even more and I feel like this marathon in Paris is going to be my goal 😍

[@FilmMyRun]

Well done Holly, 4:05 is incredibly good for a first marathon. Humans are absolutely meant to run long distance! It’s totally natural and we are better at it than any other creatures. You’re on a slippery slope now with your Dad having done 5, you’ve got to beat him!

[@olikokaful]

never clicked so fast for a YT video! I'm running my first marathon in July so you've been a huge inspiration for me those last few weeks. Well done on completing your 1st and your time is amazing as well!

[@hollyb_fitness]

omg I am so excited for you!!! and thank you!!xx

[@georgia9406]

So happy and proud of you! I’m actually so bummed the marathon content is over too but this really made me a bit emotional. You are honestly a inspiration you should be so proud of yourself

[@helenuk9582]

Your awesome Holly and should be so proud of what you have achieved and your dad too! I’m 63 and started running 4 months ago, I run 5k 3 x per week and love it, next is a few park runs and half a marathon hopefully next year, seeing your dad run with you gives me inspiration! Well done! 👏🏻

[@charlottehartshorne4448]

U are my inspiration Holly!! I'm due to run my first half marathon and i got teary when you did, the raw emotion when you finish a big race for the first time is amazing isn't it. You smashed it!! Xx

[@laurenshearer8564]

Congrats Holly! I loved the marathon content, it helped me get back into running again, thank you for sharing your journey, so proud of you!

[@charlottemartin2575]

This was sooo emotional 😢😢 I literally cried as you were finishing it and towards the end :(. You’ve been my biggest inspiration in my half marathon training and thank you so much for all your advice!!! I have looked forward to this video alll week! Proud of you bby girl! Well done 💕✨✨

[@LucyFletcherx]

Congratulations 🎉 I’ve followed you from your start of your journey when you got into running so to see you complete the marathon is amazing & so inspiring ❤

[@hollyb_fitness]

That means so much to me, thank you!!!

[@niccyx]

Huge congrats! Such a massive achievement! I've absolutely loved these vlogs and following you along your journey 🥰

[@imogentuke8317]

Girl you are an absolute inspiration, so amazing to see incredible women absolutely smashing fitness goals!! I will forever love your content, thank you for creating such a wholesome space💖🌟

[@smkmg02]

Well done Holly that was a superb effort and most seasoned club runners would be delighted with that time. Big city marathons are really difficult because of the amount of runners which can disrupt your pace considerably.

[@bethhhrachel]

Love this so much! I am running a marathon in May and I have really enjoyed watching your vlogs. Thanks for taking us along.

[@madelinecarreon5336]

I’m so happy for you! You looked so happy through the entire marathon! Such an inspiration!

[@KelseyGlenn1111]

Not me crying with you in the end of the video 😂❤ Happy for you! I’m taking on my first marathon in December, I haven’t told my family or anything yet but I’ll definitely be inviting as many supporters as I can.

[@RosieOutdoors]

Well done! So nice that you got to run it with your Dad too. Your marathon videos have been a huge inspiration for me in my own running journey, so thank you.

[@victorialyubinetskaya9181]

When you hugged your mom at the end I literally had tears in my eyes haha what an amazing moment! Great job!

[@jacpei9154]

I only watched the Video now, but I got the excitement level, got nervous and nearly started crying because I am doing my first Marathon in October. I am so proud of you and of EVERYONE doing this! We got this!

[@xolissiep9174]

Holly this is such an incredible achievement - you should be beyond proud of yourself! You’ve inspired me to step up my running and hopefully take on a half marathon in the summer and maybe a full one next year! I’ve loved all the marathon content and can’t wait for what’s to come❤🎉xx

[@miranda5621]

Congrats holly !!! 😄🎉. I literally started crying when you finished and hugged your mom. I’ve seen how hard you’ve worked for this and how emotional you would get about running it with your dad so it was such a full circle moment 😍. I’ve enjoyed living vicariously through you as someone who had a running injury so can’t run and also bonds with my dad over fitness. You guys are incredible!! Congrats again to you and Papa B 💕

[@oliviameanwelltrafford3423]

Felt quite emosh watching you finish that! Been with you the whole journey! I started running on Monday because of you!! Such inspiration! Amazing, proud of you! ❤🎉

Congratulations! I just started running and am working up to a 10k, and this has been great inspiration for me!

Amazing achievement Holly, Well done!!! looks an amazing place to run your first marathon. Had to smile - no you can never have too many inhalers, even if they are just for peace of mind (from a fellow asthma sufferer and trying to run!)

[@jennykeeping8918]

Congrats! Amazing for a first marathon - so close to the the 4 hours already!! Next, i really recommend reading 'born to run' and 'the science of running'. We ARE evolved to run (just not really on tarmac in a huge crowd of course!) But definitely check those out and i really look forward to seeing more running content from you, its why youtube recommended you to me and ive really gained motivation from seeing your training journey. Proud of you! Well done! I hope you also enjoyed a huge stein of beer too. All the best.
