i ran my first half marathon | race day vlog | that was *hard* 😅 my experience | conagh kathleen

[@elliemaree1995]

I don’t know what is more amazing about this video, the fact you’ve just smashed your first ever half marathon! Or your boyfriends TED talk about McDonald’s 😂! Congrats girl! 🎉🎉

[@ConaghKathleen]

hahahah thank you!! 🥰😂

[@elliemaree1995]

@@ConaghKathleenyou are such a motivation! ❤

[@jordancrockett9918]

Congratulations on your first race! FYI your watch wasn’t wigging out😆 Official races are always longer than the actual distance. They have to ensure that even running the shortest, most efficient path on the race everyone runs the full distance, so if you run directly down the middle of the path, you end up running longer than the actual distance you’re supposed to run. It sucks🤣

[@itismicaela]

I found your channel halfway through training for the same half marathon as you! I was also using the same workout plan and it felt like we were training together. So so impressed with your result!! I'm devastated I didn't get to run into you on the day, I also struggled hard in those last few kms but we DID IT! Can't wait to see what you do next whether it's a marathon, another half or if you decide to never run again! Thanks for all the inspiration girl, you should be so proud!

[@m1enka]

what workout plan did you use? if you dont mind me asking x

[@itismicaela]

@@m1enka The Runna app! It is a paid app but most training plans are 12 weeks max so you can end your subscription after a couple months. It's tailored to you and how many days you want to train. I thought it was sooooo worth it!

[@ConaghKathleen]

omg i love this sm!! thank you so much angel!! congrats to you too!! 💕

[@HannahPaul]

I just want to say that it was so nice to hear you talk about the TS ticket situation as an influencer that missed out - I feel like everyone I follow has been posting about how excited they are to have their tickets and it was really refreshing to see someone who's in the same boat as me. It really was such a stressful week 💗 AND OF COURSE CONGRATS on your first ever half marathon!! Crushing it xx

[@cassierandall1075]

I have been watching a few your older vlogs where you were saying ‘I hate running, I’m not a runner’ and now look at you, you ran A HALF MARATHON!! You should be so so proud of yourself Conagh xxx 🥰❤️

[@luisaa.l7672]

1. I could just tell from the footage in the beginning how nervous you were - but I always feel the same 2. Don’t be sorry for the shaky footage. It was cute and real af 🥺 3. You can be so proud of yourself. I loved watching and tagging along your journey - seeing the raw. All ups and downs 🌟🫶🏼

[@ConaghKathleen]

aw tysm beautiful!! 🥰 i'm so happy you enjoyed it!! xxx

[@iloveyoutothemoonandtosaturn]

The first video I found of you was your tips for running 3 months ago. To see how quickly you've progressed has really motivated me to run more. Thank you so much 💕

[@priegz]

i'm watching this literally a year later, ~2 months into my running journey! i've been doing 3-5KM runs and i can't imagine doing a half mara! congratulations!!!

[@jenklink]

Congrats! Tip for your next half or full marathon: go to a discount store a head of time and buy a sweatshirt or long sleeve that you can toss during your run. Then you're not throwing away nice workout clothes :)

[@_Jojomarie]

Girl! I started to cry when your started to run !!!????? lmbo IM SO PROUD OF YOU!! Not that I wasn't before, but this is something you wanted to do so bad! Im so happy for you, im so glad you're all done with your marathon ! Cross that off your list !!! JUST GREAT JOB BABES😘

[@ConaghKathleen]

ahhhhh stop it!!! 🥹 thank you so so much lovely! 💕

[@marie-joseeveillette4807]

Conagh, i was looking at prepping yourself in your bathroom 😢 you shouldnt be that hard on yourself. Stop thinking about what others think of you. You can only judge yourself. You deserve to be there like everyone how got up that morning and were ready to go. You did it girl ❤🎉

[@ConaghKathleen]

aw tysm beautiful!! you are too kind 🥹

[@itsjustalilcrush]

I ran the GC Half Marathon too 😊 I’m so proud of you and remember feeling everything you experienced :) I think I’m going to focus on my 5k and 10k time now and will aim to run the same race next year… really want that sub 2hr. Congratulations again 🎉

[@ConaghKathleen]

congrats!!! i love that!! thank you too!! 💕

[@paolasilva3045]

Stumbled upon your video while trying to get some insight on what to do for my first half marathon and so far I’ve taken so many notes! Congrats!!!! Truly inspiring & motivating!!!

[@allysonjade6270]

So proud of you Conagh! Running in a half marathon is definitely in my bucket list, i’m hoping I get to do it soon but right now i’m living vicariously through you!!

[@Madeline-tv9dd]

You made me sign up for my half marathon in Adelaide, I’m so excited and have been following your journey the whole time. You should be so proud of yourself x

[@ConaghKathleen]

omg so exciting!!! thank you so much madeline! ❤️

[@emilypattison4996]

So I found this video first, and I just watched ALL of your marathon training. The best binge 😂😂😍 as someone who is also training for a half, this whole series has been so motivating and encouraging knowing someone else is feeling all the feels as well. Running is nothing if not humbling/incredible at the same time 😂 thank you so much for everything you do. You’ve got a new follower ❤️❤️

[@aroundandback]

Not me crying during the footage of you running, the music got me 😂 Congrats Conagh, you must be so proud of yourself! 🩵

[@CaseyWorcester]

I'm so proud of you! I've followed along during your whole running journey and seen your struggles and anxieties and for you to push through all of that and get to where you are is amazing! I'm so happy for you 🤍

[@gracebyers4802]

YOU'RE INCREDIBLE 🌟 have absolutely loved these vlogs Conagh, you should be so proud of yourself. I struggled so much in the gc half this year, my training compared to last year was just up and down for so many reasons and ended up being about 20 mins slower than I'd originally hoped - but there's always another one, and we made it wooo!

[@caseyraudaschl2111]

Congrats Conagh! Huge effort. You should be so proud. You've really inspired me to even try and do 5km or even 10km would be amazing!

[@ConaghKathleen]

yay!!! thank you so much angel!! 🥰

[@stahlbarbie7605]

Congratulations Conagh, you are a inspiration to all the women out there! You can be so proud of yourself, keep going and following your goals! 👏

[@tshimukunene1521]

So so proud ! Been watching you from when you said you’re not he greatest runner to now watch you do a whole freakin half marathon is a full circle moment 🫶congratulations girlie you should be so proud of yourself ! Will be waiting for the marathon now 😂😂

[@ConaghKathleen]

aw thank you so much lovely!!! i appreciate you sm 🥹

[@emerriley539]

Congratulations Conagh! It has been so nice to follow your journey and watch you complete your half marathon. Your most accurate time will be the offical race time- the course is measured very accurately and watch gps is always off. I ran the marathon and mine said I ran 600m over which was frustrating at the markers too.

[@deandrachristine1383]

WHY DID I CRY WHEN YOU STARTED RUNNING!? so proud of you girlfriend ❤

[@ConaghKathleen]

🥹🥹🥹 thank you!!

[@AH87saxo]

In both half marathons and marathons, the line marked on the ground (the entire route or in the turns, etc.) usually marks the path by which the distance is measured. The difference in distance between that marked in the race and that marked by a GPS: it can be influenced by your trajectories during the race, obviously. But normally there is always “a variation” between the official one and what the clock shows us, both during and at the end of the race, and the longer the test, the more variation on the distance the GPS gives us. An approved 10K is between 200 and 500 meters longer than the official distance, so it is likely that an average of around 1k extra...

[@jackharrington697]

I don’t know what is more amazing about this video, the fact you’ve just smashed your first ever half marathon! way to go Conagh I am so proud of you!! 💙💙

[@ConaghKathleen]

tysm!!! i appreciate you ❤️

[@yanok_not_ok]

Congrats, Conagh!! ✨❤ this video was right in the time, i ran my second half marathon yesterday (the first one was in may), it was hilly and because of that hard, but i'm anyway i did it 😅 gonna take the third one at fall and prepare better for it to beat my pb 2:20 :) thank you so much for running inspiration!!

[@ConaghKathleen]

aw tysm beautiful!! 🤍 you got this!!! i believe in you xxx

[@livibungle]

Well done, you did so well!! 🥰 In terms of the distance measured on your watch, you’re right that you often do genuinely run further than the actual distance due to not following the central line that the course distance was measured on, so you may well have run the distance your watch actually measured! Sometimes it can also mess up due to the number of people trying to connect to GPS and any tall buildings though. I think my watch has said I’ve run further than I should’ve for almost every race I’ve done which is always frustrating 😅

[@cieraamontana]

so proud of you conagh, you absolutely crushed it 💗

[@corriespapertrail]

YOU DID IT!!!!!!! I'm so emotional watching this 🥲 and I dont even know you hahahah WELL BLOODY DONE LOVE

[@ConaghKathleen]

[@jhoaaa]

I ran a 15k yesterday and I feel you so much when you say that your legs really want to stop but you know you can keep going, ugh. But you did it!! Congrats 🥰 my first half is in December so I will must likely get the same plan as you.

[@ConaghKathleen]

congrats!!! it is such a mind game! you've got this thing!! 🔥

[@taylalouisearmstrong2528]

I tried for three hours in the presale and four hours in the general sale for Taylor Swift tickets for Sydney (unfortunately Melbourne wasn't an option because I couldn't afford accomodation and flights on top of ticket prices) so I feel your pain! But resale tickets for Taylor Swift can be sold and purchased from Monday, September 4 so there is still hope! (at least that's what I am telling myself aha).

[@ConaghKathleen]

fingers crossed!! ❤️

[@emmie938]

Congrats Conagh!!!! Hopefully you can get some resale tickets to see Taylor, sending good vibes

[@ConaghKathleen]

thank you!! fingers crossed 😅

Yes, about the watch! Yesterday I ran 5k and when I was crossing the 3k mark, the watch was saying that I was near 5k. At the end, by the watch measures, I ran nearly 7k. Super confusing.

[@frankiesnaith]

I tried as well for Taylor 😢 I got in once and the cheapest left was 800$ then the site froze and the time ran out 😂 😮 sending you loveeeee. Smashed the race well done ❤🎉
