MY FIRST HALF MARATHON

[@jmtan159]

Hello Hannah! The night of July 22, 2023, my friends called me whether I wanted to join them for a fun run the next morning, and without hesitation, I said yes! (With no proper training before that run day lol) Around 2 am the next morning, we went to the venue to register for 3km. When we were doing our warm-ups I was too anxious coz I’m new to this, I feel like everyone is watching me hahaha. While running I’m minding my form, am I doing the right thing? Like should I step my heel first? Should I lean my body forward? things like that. But, in the middle of the run, I told myself you know let’s just enjoy this don’t overthink things, everyone is busy with their own pace and minding their own business, let's just finish the run and get that finisher medal! Upon crossing that finish line, and seeing everyone that’s cheering for you I felt so proud of myself. From that day on whenever I’m free from my busy schedule of med school, I go for short runs! And just last March 3, during the Sagisag Run, I set my PR for 10km! I’m still a beginner at this, and it’s still a love-hate relationship with running, but I’m setting goals for myself, and hopefully, I can run my first-ever half marathon soon! I agree with what you said “If you can’t perform, japorm!” That’s exactly my mantra hahaha! I may not be the fastest runner but at least I’ll look cute in pictures lol🫰🏼😚 IG: jxmtan #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

Wow, what a way to close International Women’s Month. Congratulations on your first half marathon, Hannah! 🎉 It’s always inspiring and encouraging, watching you vlog, listening to your podcast (me just replaying your episode with Erwan) and seeing your post as an empowered woman and a faithful content creator for Him. And I am sooo happy to know that you are working with brands that you loveee. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional as noted by Haruki Murakami - really did resonate with me not just with regards to running, but also how we deal with life troubles and challenges. And yesss, I’m gonna add this on my reading list. Hannah, I’m sold. I gonna start my running and fitness journey this second quarter. Your insights about running have inspired me to improve my physical condition, and your insights while running through the Sydney marathon - of running our own race, and not being trapped in the comparison cycle (although its really hard not to) - applies to my current season of starting over again with my FITNESS and FAITH journey. I just loved how you beautifully connect your experiences to your faith, and recognizing the hand of God moves in every season of your life’s journey. It's encouraging to witness how you find Him even in the mundane and minuscule moments, like the meticulous preparations for the Sydney marathon, and giving back all the glory to Him as you have succeeded this goal, and sharing the inspiring endurance that were modeled by your mom. 🙌 SURROUND YOURSELF WITH RUNNERS. I’ll go, find a community, grow with them and build friendship with them. I mean, yes, I love learning with other people. This will inspire and motivate me to work out my fitness goal, and continue on my running journey because I have an accountability group which I really need. Ika nga - If you wanna go fast, go alone, if you wanna go far, go together. My one thing this 2024 is to be physically stronger and healthier. And your vlog will keep and kept me going as I #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

Hi, Hannah! Growing up, I often doubted my capabilities and I held onto the belief that I wasn't capable or athletic enough to engage in physical activities. I tended to isolate myself from such pursuits. However, this year, I've been drawn to the idea of challenging myself and stepping outside of my comfort zone. Just recently, this month, I started jogging with my friends on Saturdays after a full week of school. Experiencing the exhilaration of my heart pounding as I jog, basking in the warmth of the sun on my skin, ignited a newfound desire within me. I began to crave the sensation of inhaling fresh air while listening to the rhythm of my breath as I push myself further with each stride. Watching videos on TikTok and KZbin is no longer enough. I want to immerse myself in the real world and act on my desires. My goal for this year is to forge my own identity as a runner. I firmly believe that this transformation is within reach if I embrace the mindset of a runner. I yearn to start shifting from doubting myself to believing in the possibility of my own potential. I resonate most with the first point: "Think like a runner." I want to cultivate the resilience and determination to pursue this goal. I want to quiet the inner voice of doubt and take decisive action to turn my aspirations into reality. By adopting this mindset and starting this journey, I'm ready to not only transform my physical well-being but also cultivate the confidence and resilience needed to wholeheartedly pursue my goal. May God bless you abundantly for continuing to inspire others and thank you for this opportunity to share my aspirations with you. Wishing you the best, Gayle (@ggyllee) #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

Hello, Hannah! I started running last February 17, 2024, to be exact. I am trying my best to consistently run because it gives me peace, joy , power, endurance and good stamina. It keeps me mentally and physically stable. I also keep in my mind that I have two choices everyday, continue to sleep in my dreams or wake up, run and chase them. I am not a morning person but when it’s time to run, I am excited to wake up early. I’m also proud of myself because I have been sleeping early to wake up early, eating clean and maintaining good eating habits to have energy to run and I am proud of myself of building power and endurance. At first, I really wanted to run to build those two, but as time passes, I run because I loved it. At first, it wasn’t important to me how fast I run, because the miles I ran was more important to me. As time passes, I am setting a goal to reach a specific miles within a time. I’m also working on my pace and speed. Aside from running miles and miles everyday, I realized that it’s important to invest in comfy and cute activewear and a pair of shoes for it really helps. Like in every point you said in your video, all of them are true. It’s also amazing that in the middle of my running journey, there you are talking in this video about running. It’s like God sent you to me in the form of this youtube video telling me to just keep running literally and metaphorically. Thank you for being an ispiration to me. I really look up to you and adore you. I have learned a lot from you and somehow, I got closer to God because of you. I love you, Hannah. Keep doing what you do. God bless 🫶🏽✨ #takbowithhannah

Hello Hannah! This is video is so motivating, it's insane. You showed me that, with proper training, I can run a half marathon too. I have been running since 2022, but just this year I started to be consistent with it. My goal in January was to run a 5k without thinking that I was about to die haha. Today, I run 8k for the fist time and I felt on top of the world and that a could keep going. After watching your video, I feel motivated to keep training and run 21k. I have never felt it so close. 3 months ago, I felt it was torture to run such distances. Thanks for showing us otherwise. Also, I loved your attitude in this video and your relationship with God. So motivating and genuine

Hi, Hannah! I am Nikki, an obese runner who has this love-hate relationship with my body before, but loves running now. When I was in highschool, I managed to put off the weight by not eating properly and going to the gym 4 times a week. However, a year after, I gained the weight again. I was so stressed that I just did not care for my body anymore for 3 years. Life happened (dad died, I'm still in college, and had a cervical polyp) and I really need a coping mechanism because my mental health worsened. Tried running this February 4 because my close friends are using Strava and behold, it was effective. At first, I just want my thoughts to be at bay that's why I run. But, many things changed. I can focus more, unexpectedly I am more at peace and happy, and when I saw my pace improvements (From 10:30 mins/km to 8 mins/km) I was more enthusiastic to run. Losing weight was the goal but now, it's just a bonus. I am also focusing on my nutrition because I need fuel for my runs! I thank my body everyday, whatever shape it may be, for letting me run and do the things I love. From my experience, I would definitely apply #4. Run. Just keep showing up. Embrace it. Running also taught me that I should not be afraid of trying. Work hard, put effort. It is not a bad thing! We should strive to achieve. A run is still a run whatever time you finished it. Running actually empowered me that I have a place here. The community is just so supportive even though I am a slow runner. To add, I just joined my first fun run last Saturday and it felt so amazing to finish it. #takbowithhannah Xoxo, Nikki Lyn de Vera (@nikkidv_)

[@shieladaitol]

currently pregnant and hearing you talk about running and being active is just soothing. Thank you Hannah for being such blessing in so many ways. I have heard from other preggy mommies na it's also preparing myself to a marathon so need din ng training. The best!

[@icebear8356]

i cried watching you finish that race 😭😭😭😭 Hello Hannah! First, welcome back! I missed your vlogs and I felt compelled to reach out and share the profound impact your story had on me. As I watched you cross the finish line, overcome with emotion, tears welled up in my eyes. It wasn't just your victory that moved me, but the raw determination and unwavering spirit you displayed throughout the race. In that moment, something inside me stirred, igniting a newfound desire to embark on my own running journey. Your fourth point, simply urging us to "just run," resonated deeply with me. It was a gentle reminder that sometimes the most powerful actions stem from simplicity itself. Just as in life, where we often overcomplicate things, your message served as a beacon of clarity, urging me to take that first step forward. Moreover, your analogy of running mirroring life's race struck a chord within me. The bible verse where it is said that we are to run the race set before us with endurance. Your words echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and resilience in both running and life. Inspired by your video and motivated by your words, I am eager to lace up my running shoes and embrace this new adventure. Your story has become a catalyst for change in my life, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world and for being a source of inspiration to countless individuals, myself included. I look forward to continuing to follow your adventures and hope to share my own progress with you in the future. With heartfelt appreciation, Mikee (Ms.) ig: yukokichocokie #TakboWithHannah

[@hazelbertolano5532]

I don't know why but I suddenly burst into tears after your run. Thank you for sharing this journey, Hannah. I'm inspired. I'm blessed. I'm encouraged. GOD bless you.

[@shanaiahshan3419]

I'm a fan, Hanna. Realized I needed every single advice you gave. You're a God-sent instrument. Thank you!

[@Olive_CP]

I'm running my first half-marathon tomorrow (with questionable/v.little training - LOL) and am so glad I found your channel! This energy is just what I'm planning to bring tomorrow: have goals but most importantly have fun.

[@philnorbee]

Hey Hannah! Been watching your vlogs for years now and it's honestly a coincidence that this video was posted since I've been thinking about pushing my body's strength to the next level after years of doing daily runs and home workouts so I'm taking this as a sign that running is my next step to push myself further in terms of goals and self fulfillment! Was honestly intrigued about running after seeing some of the people I know that do run and join marathons. With this, I'm taking the "II. Surround Yourself with Runners" as my stepping stone before I actually start my running journey. It's fun to know that there are people who have experiences already that they can share and like what you said, every runner has their own process and I think I can build my own process with the help of the people who I know who has a heart in running. I can also push myself further if I have people who can motivate me and to keep me from moving forward and doing things scared because I know that if they can do it, I definitely can! Connections in no matter what aspect in life is so important. You talking about surrounding myself with runners makes me excited as I plan to start running and the possible connections that I can build through running. I honestly cried seeing you finish your race since you brought as along your journey given the struggles, wins, and reflections that you did. Thank you for sharing your journey and your love letter to running, Hannah! You have opened doors for me through your thoughts, stories, and experiences. Belated congratulations on finishing your Boston marathon and onto the next! Wishing you best of luck and God may shower you with strength, guidance, and comfort as you prepare for your next marathon! Praying for you 🤍 Hope you're having a great day! #TAKBOWITHHANNAH (Philnor Baluyot | @phlnrx )

[@TheLianesanti]

Hi Hannah! I've been your viewer for years now. Your channel has not just entertained me in those years, but also inspired me. I have started my fitness journey in year 2020, when the pandemic and lockdown happened and did some home workouts. I stopped for a while but I am planning to get back on track and do some joggings/runs as part of my workout. The last time I went in a race/marathon was almost 10 years ago and nothing excites me more today than going back and this video has inspired me in a lot of ways. Running doesn't only help with fitness and health, but also helps me ease my mind and achieve peace. When I run, I don't think of any other things than running. I don't think of the past or the future, which I often do--I only live in the present. Like your mom, I also don't listen to music when I run. I prefer to hear the nature, my surroundings, everything around me. I can't explain how that brings me calmness despite of all the external noise. You have proven in this fruitful vlog how training is important before running a race--just like how it is in every aspect of our lives where we want to excel, or at least achieve something. The training and preparation is what makes our victory worth it, after all, and not just the medals, trophies, or titles that we get. I love the quote, "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional," as we, humans, have more control in the way we process our thoughts and our minds are more powerful than we think. This vlog made me realize once again that we can achieve anything we want in the world, as long as we put our mind into it. Thank you for growing up with me, and making me feel that I have grown with you. #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@marykerstel]

Vlogger hannah is back, it's been awhile!

[@KateLesleyMendoza]

I had been trying to start running for the longest time, from 2020 during the pandemic up to this date, but unfortunately I cannot find the solid drive to do so. Learning about the 4 points you have shared and your journey, I am being inspired to try and restart my own journey. I never had the confidence in myself in anything that I do, but after hearing you say that I could think like a runner, surround myself with runners and look like a runner, but if I do not go out and run, I would not truly understand what I am created to do, it hit me that all I have to really do is to RUN. No matter how much videos I watch, how much books I read and how much people I talk to, I would not be able to start if i do not make my first step outside. So thanks to you, I will try and make that first step again and RUN. I might go back again and again to this video for a while to keep me going, but at least right now, I will run. Thanks to you.

[@joshanbea]

Hi Hannah! It's been a while since I first discovered your vlogs. I clearly remember it was during the pandemic when my world was not in a good state. I was lost when I found you. Your words and journey have been a light in the darkness to me during those times. You and your vlogs were a few of the things that made me reconnect with faith and resonated deeply with me; it was your vlogs that gave me the courage to do this. Now, as I was at a time when I wanted to go back to running, your return to vlogging came at a better time. This video about finishing your first half marathon struck a chord with me. It was also during the pandemic when I started running as a way to cope with the uncertainty and isolation. It became a therapy for me. But I let running slip away when life was slowly returning to normal, and my schedule filled up with face-to-face classes and other commitments. One of my resolutions this year is to be able to run again. As I watched you run and finish your race, my body longed for the pain of my feet hitting the ground, the adrenaline rushing through my veins, and the clarity of my mind every time I ran. This message is not just about why I want to run; this is also my way of expressing my gratitude to you, Han. You are more than just a vlogger to me; you inspire me. You serve as a guide on my journey towards self-discovery and growth. Your wholeness has touched my soul in ways I cannot describe. So, on this first step back into running, I want you to know that you inspired me to take that first step. As I will run, I will feel that you are running with me. #TAKBOWITHHANNAH Thank you for sharing this story of yours with the world! You inspire a lot of people to live their best lives. With gratitude and admiration, Josh Anbea @joshanbea

Hi Hannah! What a blessing to watch this vlog

[@beaangelarivera]

im literally in tears when u are finally near the finish line and when the crowd are hyping up the runners 🥹

[@nniiccoollee713]

I’ve been a runner for over 14 years. Done over 100s of half marathon. Full marathon a few of it and just did a 100 miles. We get lazy sometimes or get busy but running or being outdoors has always been my way of decompressing from a stressful work and life itself. Basically my therapy. Consistency is key. Keep up the good work❤

[@topherzerudo1239]

Hi Hannah! I am Topher, I actually just started running this year, mainly because of the stress and anxiety medical school brought me. I remember a week after my first semester I was so stressed, burnt out, overwhelmed, and frustrated about my performance in med school. I was desperate to find a way to relieve stress and sadly, I fell into a bad eating habit given I lived in a dorm alone, I was eating whatever I wanted and whenever I wanted. But one day, I just decided to wake up at 5am to do a run with little knowledge about how to, but it was the first time in a long time I felt that I was in control of myself, my emotions, feelings, and I actually gained back my belief in myself that I can accomplish something because I am doing it and giving what I can. Also, running has become a tool for me to connect more with people especially my med friends, my girlfriend, and my dad who was also a runner before, watching this video actually inspired me in so many ways to the point watching felt like I also finished the half marathon that you ran just because of how I related with your experiences especially how supportive your parents are and how you connected with other people through running which I am very blessed to also be surrounded with people that started to enjoy running as well. In fact, we will be running our first run event next month, even if its just a 5k, I will treat it the way a runner would, train and prepare for it properly. I know I am still just at the start of my running journey but I am very happy I did, and thankful also that I stumbled upon people like you and many other creators/influencers/coaches/athletes all over social media in the running community to inspire and motivate me to continue running at the same time help me be better at it. So yeah, running has become something that I look forward to everyday, sort of an additional reason for me to wake up and be excited about that is why I appreciate and enjoy it so much and hope I get to share it with more people. Thank you so much Hannah! IG: topher.zerrudo #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@ma.janine2629]

Omg Hannah, you're finally back 🥺 and thank you for this huhu it made me became more motivated to run. A month ago, my workmate and I finally started running after office hours. Like straight out of shift, we change clothes, stretch, and run. But to be able to start this routine, it has been a tough battle between my mind and my body. Several plans have been made but never truly executed. I always have this thought of wanting to walk and run as working and sitting in the office all day makes me feel ill but this thought just remains a plan for a few months until I got myself a running buddy. I've been asking my co-workers to join me run but no one has shown interest as they are too tired to run daw and would rather just take a rest after work until one random afternoon. I didn't stop until one workmate finally decided to join me, which I think is a great factor in this running journey of mine as I feel more motivated when I surround myself with another runner wannabe who shares the same mindset and goal as I do. I can still feel the frustration in me, when I have to cancel our very first run after work as I need to work overtime. My working buddy tho, decided to proceed on his own and this has been the scenario for three consecutive days, me canceling my running plans. I feel envious as I saw him stretch and leave the office to run while I remain there sitting in front of my computer. That's why on the fourth day, even of I still had a lot of workload, I made a promise to myself to finally run on that day and I actually did!! I feel so happy that day. It felt fulfilling. I felt physically and emotionally strong at the same time. And the best part is I enjoyed doing it to the point where I immediately ordered cute running outfits online that night as I know these would make me more motivated and excited each day to run. It's been a month now since I started running and I'm happy I did. It helped me destressed after work, helped me clear my mind. Through running, I was able to have an emotional escape, switch my brain off and just focus on my running goals at that moment. As a young adult, I think it's important to have micro goals (reaching 5k, getting faster and stronger, etc) to set and achieve to be able to keep going, and have that extra spice in life. To be fit and healthy while enjoying the whole process of it. And I can't wait to set up bigger goals like joining marathons and conquering it too like what you did! #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@amrithchunly638]

Im training for my half marathon myself and came across your vid just brighten my day.. just show how the running community really push u to another step

[@maidysiva3648]

Hi Hannah! Last year, I was talking to this guy who loves running. He runs every single night after his work. So every time we talk at night, he always shares something about his running stories, and later on, he encourages me also to run. I had no plans to try it then because I could not see running as a hobby. I primarily work at night, so I cannot run in the morning, and it is too tiring if I do it at night before going to work. Plus, there is no suitable location near me or routes I can run to, so I definitely cannot say yes. Fast forward to this year, I wasn't sure what came to my mind, but after my trip abroad last January, I just wanted to go on a workout, and perfectly timing, my sister was going for a run in UP Diliman, so I came with her that weekend. That was my FIRST EVER RUN because I don't remember the last time I did it. That was so refreshing and liberating while listening to my playlist, breathing the air surrounding me, and releasing sweat while moving my body. I love moving my body, so I enjoy dancing too and doing strong yoga at home for some stretching. The following week after my first run, I already felt that I wanted to run again. Every week since then, I go for a run, even if it's just 1 hour or less, and every week, I also set a goal. I started at 5km/hour (I run with my work friends), then 5km for 45 minutes, and then I got to 5km for 30 minutes. Next week, my goal is to run 10km/hr. As a newbie in this sport, I am taking #1 and #3 from your video. Think and Look Like a Runner. As part of my learning about running, I came across your video, and honestly, my whole IG explore page is now full of running-related posts and reels, which I really like, and it is so motivating. Perfect algorithm! Watching your running journey is very inspiring, and one day, I wish I could also sign up for my first half-marathon. Running isn't just running physically, but also mentally. I felt like something had improved in me since I started running. As I work at night, I get vitamin D very seldom, but when I started going for a weekend run, I was delighted to reconnect and see the sunset and even the sunrise. Taking #3 is also very exciting for me. The thought of getting new running shoes, a cute outfit, and accessories really excites me, and I want to run more and show up that "hey, I am wearing my new Adidas shoes and outfits lets try it and go run." I know I have so much to learn and train more. So, I was also thinking of joining a run club soon to learn and get more inspired to help me achieve my goal like you did. Thank you so much for making this video and for allowing me to reflect and set my mind to push running. Please keep making videos like this when you can! God bless you!

Hi Hannah! I thank God for you! Truth be told, I have been dealing with postpartum depression for six months now. CHANGES happened so quickly I lost track of the days, lost sight of discipline, lost hold of confidence during my pregnancy.. I sometimes find myself feeling lost and overwhelmed, struggling to find joy in the midst of darkness. It was during the difficult period that I stumbled upon your video (been following you for years) And the night I watched your vlog while nursing my little one, when the world was quiet I can only hear my heartbeat, you were that angel heaven sent, I gained the motivation to start, I gained the will to move forward and I was reminded by one of the four points you shared-- that I just have to RUN-- my own race and mind my own pace. To be comfortable with other people over taking me, figuratively for now, because everyone has different trainings and timelines. I would love to start this running journey and reclaim my habits, my discipline, myself once again. I have downloaded some books on running and will save up for a pair of running shoes! I have talked with husband and we committed to run every other day now. Will sigh up for our first festival run in Butuan City this May! Way to go! While this video is your love letter to running, let this comment be my commitment to running and love letter to myself and to God. For another chance of becoming me again. (I am ecstatic to even just type these words!) Your mom and dad's book Marriage is a marathon is a dream to get a hold of! I'd immerse myself in its wisdom and apply them to my own marriage. PS. Thank you for creating this video, as you have created a little dream in my heart too. #TAKBOWITHHANNAH Love, Jessa Aguilar (jssvglr)

Hi Hannah, reflecting on my high school days, I vividly recall the mandatory 5km runs sponsored by Milo, an experience that unexpectedly ignited my passion for running. Little did I anticipate how deeply I would come to cherish those moments. Fast forward to 2022, I completed my first 10km run under 7-Eleven, followed by my first ever half marathon, powered by Runrio, a mere three months later. Despite my preparations, the days leading up to the race were full of nervousness just like you. Yet, in those moments of doubt, I pray to God to give me the strength to finish that race. Thankfully, I did. In those successes, there will always be someone who does not believe in me and asks questions like “why are you running, you’ll just tire yourself” or “you’ll never make it”. I just shrug them off and continue to do what I love. Beyond its physical benefits, I love running because for me it is freedom. Running takes away my doubts and fears and refreshes my mind. I just need a pair of shoes and off to go. Be it a short 1 km or more than that, the important part is that I consistently show up. Grateful for my support system. If not for them, I would not love running as much as I do now. They're one of my inspirations. While I may not possess the most glamorous and expensive running gear now, I believe the notion that comfort breeds confidence. Thank you, Hannah, for inspiring us. I hope I can run with you at Biñan Oval soon, I usually do my runs there. I am also preparing again for my Earth Day 21km run this April 21, 2024. I hope I’ll finish strong. Claiming it. #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@jennavarro4793]

was only thinking about running because of news about my health. and now, I am actually motivated. Thank you for this, Hannah.

[@alexisbelen4887]

First of all I just wanted to say how this vlog made me realize what I lack and what I always forget as an athelte. I’ve been too clogged up with training and always aiming for progress that I forget these two points that I got from your vlog. As a seasoned athlete, learning from a person like you, who just got into running and races was a big plot twist on how I will train from now on. I thought that this would be a beginners guide type of vlog but for me it’s a reminder type of vlog. To go through a recollection of how you are as an athlete/person. I’ve been through your four points already, I was really hesitant to start running before due to my injury, that I would just make it worse but as an athlete, there’s always this mindset of trying and going out of comfort zone so I started to think like a runner, surrounded myself with run enthusiast and even organized a community run one time which led me to meet people with the same passion and learned from them. Dress like one too para naman makasabay sa trend, so I also strated to budol myself with some runfits. But again, it’s always the performance I am always excited about, I got to consistently run, even if I go solo. Track my performance and beat my PR. Again consistency was the key. But when I watched this vlog, some words hit me. And those words are 1. The purpose is to be happy with it - I always seek progress that sometimes I pressure myself and would not enjoy the training I did. I’m too focused on aiming for something like winning that I forget to enjoy. I feel tired after training. I was not happy if I didn’t get my goal or no progress was done. I even came to a point where I think like it’s already a “need” to run and not a “want” to run. The purpose of finding joy was lost. But the second point somewhat corrected this. 2. Never rule out divine intervention - maybe this one is the most neglected when I started to be an athlete. Maybe that’s the reason why I really didn’t have enough confidence to perform. Recently, I’ve started the habit to seek the presence of the Lord everytime I go out to train and you know what, not only did I got the peace of mind, but I got the confidence back, because I know He’s there to protect and guide me. And training with His presence put me in a state where you only think of what good has happened and appreciate small wins. Honestly, I was not able to do this consistently but your vlog made me realize that again. Thankful for this. I’m actually excites to read your parents’ book (hehe) I hope athletes like me, would somewhat have realizations from time to time. Maybe God has planned to let me watch your vlog for this realization. I thank Him for that. Last take, keep doing what you are doing, your contents are not only informative but is already changing lives. - Lexie Belen @lexiie.belen #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

Hi hannah! this video really has good timing. I have been on a running slump since february and watching this after doing a day1 of running again (an hour before i stumbled upon your video) really intensified(?) my will to start running again. im just so amazed of how the Lord really pushed me today, first by giving me something uncomfy in my body so that it would actually make me get up from my bed and run then showing your video! WOW! i just knew it was all Him because I know for sure it wouldnt just be me, im so lazy these days. So thanks for the pointers and good job on finishing sydney!! i hope one day I can do what you and your family do! good luck on the next marathon too! I pray you get to beat your record!

Hey Hannah, your vlog really struck a chord with me. See, I've always been someone who loves staying active, especially when I was knee-deep in football during my school days. But as life started throwing more responsibilities my way, I found it harder to keep up with that level of commitment. Last year, I tried to reignite that passion by setting myself a goal to tackle at least five fun runs, but you know how it goes - work always seems to creep in and derail your plans. But now, things are different. I've landed a new gig, and my boss is one of those people who just radiates energy and lives and breathes that active lifestyle. Seeing how they approach life has reignited something inside me. It's like they've reminded me of the person I used to be - the one who loved the rush of adrenaline, the feeling of pushing my limits, and the sheer joy of crossing that finish line. I've even started practicing thinking like a runner, visualizing my routes, strategizing my pace, all to push myself that extra mile. So, here I am, ready to dust off my running shoes, hit the pavement, and reclaim that sense of vitality that's been missing for too long. Thank you for sharing your story and being a blessing to people like me! With gratitude, Monica Jaime @jaime.monica

Hi Hannah, I stumbled upon your KZbin channel recently. Well, your half marathon journey in Sydney taught a lot of lessons to grizzled veteran like me. For me, thinking like a runner first is the most important principle. I admit that I carried a chip on my shoulder that haunted me for a long time. Overcoming a serious knee injury and other adversities ten years ago gave me so much strength and pride, which eventually consumed me in the longer run. When I began admitting my own mistakes and getting rid of distractions, my well-being has drastically improved and I no longer feel way better while training. Surrounding myself with runners, or should I say reconnecting to old running buddies is equally important. Instead of telling them “I’m back” and continue impressing them, I’ll just simply resume training, enjoy the process, catch up with them, and tell how grateful I am. BTW, I have plans of joining the Sydney Marathon this year. Thank you and until next time. Sincerely, Arthur Doctolero @thedapperrunner #TakbowithHannah

finally!!!!!! huhu ive been rewatching your vlogs and now there's a new one!!!!!!!!!! accccccck so happy!

[@bubbleetee]

Hi Hannah! Hearing about your running journey is so inspiring! I have been running consistently for about a year now! The reason I started joining fun runs is because of the medals and the freebies HAHAHA. but I would say that I fell in love with running! Starting this running journey of mine is probably one of the best decisions i've made in my life:) I remember being so nervous running my first 10km last year, and now one of my goals this year is to run a sub1 10km:) And by June, I'll be running my first half marathon at the Hoka Trilogy Run! Running is something that brings peace to my mind, and it's also good for the health! So I will definitely won't stop running:) Sometimes I do have those days where I have no motivation to run at all. And that's where I love how you talked about point #1.Think like a runner. Running isn't just only running physically, but also running mentally. Having the right mentality while running is so so important! Without training mentally, those runs we do may just plummet; cause honestly, the only way we're able to run those races is because of how strong our mentality is. That's why I love running! It's all about enduring and persevering throughout the race, just like in life! If you ever read this Hannah (i hope you will!), I just want to say thank you for sharing your running experience! It's such a blessing to all runners. My IG is @xyraham

[@MariellaOlden]

Hiii, Ate Hannah! First off, I just want to say that I missed watching your vlogs!! Now, let me take you on my running journey. Flashback to 2019, when I was just 14 back then, I conquered 5km for my first and last marathon (sadly, pandemic happened :(). Fast forward to 2024, I just turned 19 and am is running back on track again! It wasn't part of my resolutions this year, but when I stumbled upon the Earth Hour Virtual run by WWF Philippines, I was hooked! The event was so innovative, imagine making a difference for our Earth and being physically active too? I immediately signed up without doubts and challenged myself for 20k. In fact, I'm not a morning person and I hate doing exercises (despite wanting to lose weight since the pandemic), but the thought of running at dawn, with the world slowly waking up around me is too fun! So, here I am, currently have 4.15 km of my 20 km goal as of writing. Like #4, running isn't just about the physical activity for me; it's my time to connect with myself, to reflect on all the blessings the Lord has given, and the magical feeling of witnessing the sun rise as I run. My parents were actually shocked to know about this initiative and I am currently trying to persuade them to join me too (hopefully, they will!) Thanks a lot for this giveaway and for always inspiring us with your incredible videos. Best of luck with your upcoming marathon, Ate Hannah!

[@AndreaFerma]

Hi, Hannah! I joined a fun run mid-last year and pushed myself too hard so I got injured during the race and couldn’t walk for a month and a half after. That was one of the lowest points of my life. I felt so helpless and small, but it prompted me to reflect on how badly I’ve treated my body when I was perfectly mobile. I wanted to change so much about my body. I noticed every minor imperfection and was my harshest critic but when I couldn’t walk, all I could think about was how my body happily carried me for 27 years - allowing me to live a life I wanted to live. Now, my injury has healed and I’ve developed a better relationship with my body in the process. I haven’t gone running again since then because I still have a bit of fear left in me, but I think I’m ready to push that fear aside. This year, I’d like to join a fun run again to close that chapter of my life and actually just run for fun to thank my body for being such a good friend to me throughout these years. Like you said, our bodies were created to run and move forward and I just want to celebrate my body’s strength - feeling every step I take fall into a perfect rhythm with my breath and sprinting off to a place with no more fear. Wishing you the best of luck for your upcoming marathon! Thank you for taking the time to post this vlog. You are a breath of fresh air as always. ❤️ #TakboWithHannah All the best, Andrea (@andreaferma)

[@marcharpo]

Awww congrats, Hannah!!! I was so proud to watch you cross the finish line :)

[@hannaaah18]

Hello, Hannah! I started running when I was in high school as a means to workout. I never really told anyone but I was just scared of putting on weight that's why I ran. When I was in college, I ran when I feel sad. It later has become such a big factor why I stopped too because I started associating negative emotions to running. So fast forward to today (approximately 10 years later), at a time I thought I would never get back to it after multiple attempts of being consistent and trying to make it my hobby, I am back because I enjoy it. I love the part of your video where your therapist talked about the goal of being "happy with it." This time around, i resonated with that goal. I want to keep running because I enjoy it and it is a great way to honor God by taking care of the body he gave me. Anyway, of all your points I want to start applying "look like a runner" because I love dressing up too! Haha i believe it really is important to dress comfortably and fashionably (🤭it's all in the mind) but even when I don't have the right gears, I don't let it stop me from running. But wouldn't it be fun if you look cute while ✨in pain✨ because it's inevitable HAHA as for your other three points and I agree wholeheartedly and have been doing them since going back to running. With that, I just want to let you know that of everything you said in your video, I love how you speak of God's word through out the video, just makes me more inspired to not just be in-tune with my body but with God. And to use this training as a means to connect to Him more. Thank you for using your platform to spread His word. Nothing gives me so much joy than seeing a child of God inspire people through the Bible, the LIVING, BREATHING WORD of God. I remember seeing your reel when you ran a 21k with a friend and you chanting "Jesus be my legs," which I also chanted in my head when I ran my first 18k to train for my first half marathon. Thanks for that! Really helped 💗 #TAKBOWITHHANNAH I'm also Hannah too, btw! @hmgveracruz

[@maria.katrina]

It's been a while Hannah we miss your content. Congratulations on your first half marathon. Goodluck and God bless your upcoming marathon in April. Always supporting you all the way💛💛💛

[@elizabethnacion1071]

Hi Hannah!! I've been a fan of you and your family for awhile now (my parents and I are the biggest CBML fans hehe). I love how you put God at the center of your content and always post with intentionality!! It's my goal to start training for longer runs this year, and to run the NYC marathon in April 2025. I love running because as someone who deals with a lot of anxiety, it encourages me to face my fears and move out of my comfort zone to experience more life rather than remain in my head. Running has taught me that I truly can do anything in life with a unwavering self-love and discipline. It's helped me grow in so many areas of my life-- the more active I am, the more action-oriented I become. Thank you for all you do!!

[@juliasioson]

hellooo, ate hannah ! i just want to start off by saying that you are one of my biggest inspirations in all aspects. during the pandemic, i’ve binge-watched your vlogs and found comfort in them, especially when i find myself in a slump and unable to motivate myself to continue the things i ought to do. i’ve been an athletic person since i was a kid, and tennis and swimming have stuck with me the most. however, as a busy student, i have not been able to train and enjoy myself as much as i’d like to. after watching this vlog, the first point you mentioned shifted my mindset to treat them as a hobby and not as a chore. you reminded me of how much i love and how much i'd fully immerse myself to the sports i love to do. your vlog evidently demonstrated your passion for doing the things you do. apart from running half a marathon, you still managed to vlog and present to us the entire process you’ve gone through, and that alone already exhibits your love for your craft. i admire you for the dedication and determination that you showed not only for yourself but for Him too. you inspire me (and i’m sure i’m not the only one) by having achieved many things, yet you never forget your roots from above. this vlog just made me want to start running and continue the sports i have started doing. i’m so proud of you ate hannah, i know you’ve already run several miles, but in this life, i’m quite sure that the finish line is still far ahead of you, so keep running !! (you can walk too if you get tired, tho!) 🎾🏊🏼‍♀🏃🏽‍♀, Julia (ig: @juliasioson) #takbowithhannah

[@nhesakills]

congrats to this achievement hannah 🎉 i just finished my first ever marathon today, 5KM lang but i relate to your vlog so much. i learned so much with your vlog as well, goodluck to your next race 😊🏃‍♀️

[@rica343]

Thank you so much for this vlog, Hannah!!! It was published the night before a biglaang trial run I signed up for. This somehow pumped me up. Hehe. I want to continue my running journey because essentially, it serves as my form of relaxation. It's one of my main stress relievers, bringing me joy every time I complete a run, whether it's just a practice, trial run or an actual race day. Back during the COVID pandemic, I used to fear that I would end up alone, which motivated me to start working out to take care of myself and my parents. Fast forward to 2023, I discovered my passion for running. It not only encourages me to eat and live healthily but also inspires some of my friends to do the same. I really enjoy running with them. As someone who grew up with low self-esteem, constantly seeking approval from others, I often doubted my abilities and found myself caught in the imposter syndrome. I used to confine myself in a box, always trying to please everyone, which only led to more disappointments. That's why I want to adopt the mindset 'THINK LIKE A RUNNER'. I want to build more confidence in the belief that I am created to exceed beyond limits. I need to learn to let go and have fun while striving to achieve what God has prepared me for.

Hi, Hannah! Omg, this is so timely as I have just started my running journey! I started with walking lang, trying to reach my 10k steps a day. Then one day naisip ko why don't I try to run. (Plus running videos came popping on my Tiktok feed so maybe that was also a sign? Lol). And just the other day, I challenged myself to run 5k and I finished at 43 mins! (My PR

[@rossannsarabia3609]

Among the 4 points that you have mentioned, Hannah I would apply to myself the fourth one (IV. RUN). Hi, Hannah! I am Ann, your silent supporter pandemic time, I have been binge watching your youtube videos as you inspire me alooot with the things you do and share thru your vids. And with this MARATHON video that you have just uploaded, running your first actual marathon felt like an achievement to me too because I can feel your excitement, eagerness, and enthusiasm to really finish it. Parang kasama mo din ako nagtraining, nagprepare hanggang finishing the marathon. I literally got teary eyes seeing you cross the finish line. You have also inspired me with the JUST 10 something that you also have challenged us your supporters to join you during the pandemic. With that JUST 10, I have read a whole book instead of 10 pages, wrote on my journal like 10 pages or more instead of just 10 sentences, and cleaned my room for more than 10 minutes HAHAHA First week of March this year I have experiencing stiff neck and a backpain due to slouching and hours of sitting because I’m an office worker and maybe because of work and life stress and overthinking and worry-ing (quarter life crisis) maybe? . So, I have gathered all of my motivation to go out and start walking JUST A WALK. The walk lasted for only 15 minutes. I also cannot sleep well for an unknown reason before I started jogging/walking but that night after walking for 15 minutes, I had a very nice sleep and my dizziness miraculously had gone HAHA maybe because I sweat it out. I continuously did walking these past weekends, until my mind and body just wanted to run it all out. On my first attempts to jog/run, I can only jog for 10-20 meters max and I am already grasping for air. But as I “fake it” HAHHA that I just chant in my mind “1 more meter, don’t stop jogging/running, don’t walk” I progress to jogging/running now 500 meters-1km without walking, yes! Fake it ‘til you make it is real. It is true, Hannah “if you cannot perform, japorm” HAHA I feel confident when I wear running outfits with the few that I have as I am not an athletic person. And I guess to have a nice running shoes would also boost one’s confidence in running and avoid injuries. I do not have yet any “proper” running shoes, watch, nor ear plugs but I will pray that you will choose this story of inspiration from your running journey. Your fourth point RUN is a powerful word for me and I believe for others also. This means to move and do something, this may also mean, change for the best version of what you are today and to run as if you are chasing the good physical and mental health that you deserve. I was also inspired by the words from your consultation session (thank you for sharing this with us!). “…don’t be afraid of not making it, …when the goal is to be happy with it” I was moved because when I started to run/ jog and sweat from it, not only did my dizziness went away, I also got a more peaceful mind, happier days and an excited heart because yey it’s my day off tomorrow and I will be running/ jogging again. For someone that cannot afford to have a trainer, consultant, gears just yet hehehe I am sooo happy that you are sharing what you have with us, Hannah. The clips that you share with your training and consultations are super helpful to me. Lastly, I am looking forward to one of your first sentences said in this video “Never thought I would, Never thought I could” to comment that on your next running videos if ever I will be running/finishing my FIRSSST marathon hahaha let us prayyy. “If I did that, I can do this” trueee because I finished 4KM last week and been looking forward to 5KM todaaay! God bless you, Hannah looking forward for more God’s little graces through you! See you in the next kilometers, Hannah! Ross Ann Sarabia (@chuuuross) #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@yeegykg]

Whenever I try to set a new PR. I put one of the data screens “lap pace” on my garmin watch. It will show you your time on finishing that 1KM, it adjusts as you go faster or quicker. It’s easier to stay in control of your pace. Congrats on finishing!

[@GUENBGANUB]

Hi, Hannah! It's been awhile since the last time you posted something and this time around Idk why i felt so relatable of your journey. I don't have much to say about your journey coz I definitely know you yourself doesn't really have the complete exact words to describe it. I've been following you on instagram and i really love your way of thinking and how the love of God radiates from you and your fam. Y'all so lovely to watch and I highly believe that your mindset, not just on running, brought you from where you are right now. You inspire me with how you started to like running and how it shaped you. I could still remember the first day I also started running (it was a year ago). It wasn't really motivating at first since I was just invited by my friends to join them. I hated to wake up early in the morning to run with them but later on I didn't realize that my body was starting to crave for it. Until I got busy with school and I started to ignore my mental health. I didn't know that what I was feeling was already killing me. I got too pressure with a lot of stuff and until one day I saw one of your ig stories where u posted a post-run pic. Idk but it feels like it was meant to show up at that exact time. You were genuinely happy running and that somehow reminded me of what I used to feel when I was running with my friends Despite having no running shoes or even running clothes to wear, I finally decided to get back on running and that was the time that I felt like I'm free again. It was definitely one of the life changing decision I made. Indeed, nothing will happen to you until you start doing it. Do it scared. Do it despite having no motivations. Do it when you feel sad, happy, motivated and discouraged. That's the great lesson I've learned from running. As what you mentioned on point #4, if we don't actually go out there and run, we'll only be leaving ourselves with whatifs and overthinking will consume us for nothing. Running for me isn't just an exercise but it was my therapy. Running helps me to find my own peace, my focus and mostly my connection with God. I never felt more reformed than I am right now. Every morning run seems like my alone time with Him. I talked to Him like He's my journal, like He's my buddy my bestfriend. I never knew I'll be this happy and emotional trying to remember how I used to be. Thanks Hannah, for sharing your journey. You're not just a great runner but a blessed vessel of God's word. I hope that you'll be able to read my comment not just to be chosen but to thank you for being one of the inspirations that had keep me running both on marathon and in life. I've been wanting to buy myself a shoes and some gears for running just these past few days actually but unfortunately I'm still financially incapable of providing it myself. Idk maybe it was meant for me to be here again and join? Silly, but I hope that whoever wins it, won't stop running towards their goals. XO, guenniee IG: @_bengka #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@janangelidc]

hi hannah! just wanted to start this message by saying that i'm so glad you're back on youtube. you have no idea how your KWH episodes have saved me during my lowest times in 2020 and i'll forever be grateful for that. i just finished my first official race last March 23 at the Clark City Sundown marathon. a 10km run may not be much for others, but to me, it was one great start for someone who just started ~seriously~ running this february 2024. on that note, my fave part of this half marathon video is "IV. RUN". i never truly believed that i'd be capable of running, let alone 10km, until i did. after my first official race, i became more excited to do more runs and join more races because i know i only get better and better everyday. that as long as i put my fave running clothes, my reliable pair of shoes, and my music on - i'm all set. and i hope to continue running because running helps me become more disciplined with my time and my energy. since i started running, i became more intentional with my time and how i schedule my day. i wish you well in the upcoming boston marathon and i hope you continue to make more vlogs like this. you inspire a lot of beginner runners to believe in themselves and i am one of them. #TakboWithHannah i'm angeli and my ig is at @janangelidc

[@louiepicar]

Hey Hannah 👋🏽🏃🏽‍♀️ I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw you posted a video on KZbin! It felt nostalgic - I've been a subscriber for a long time and seeing you post here again feels like reconnecting with an old friend after a long time apart. You and the community you've built through your platform had been an inspiration for me - it's about the way you bring people together, the positivity you radiate, and the genuine passion you have for what you do. I was playing football competitively for years but last year I unfortunately had an acl injury and it felt like the universe conspired against me. I was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do with and injured knee - but God is good and after an in depth research, I learned that I can run and that gave me a boost in morale and confidence. I've been running since January this year and all I can say is that our bodies are so resilient and it's true that surrounding yourself with the right people will turn you into whatever you put your mind into. 👯‍♀️ Surrounding yourself with the right people extends beyond running - it reflects how I strive to navigate through life in general. Just as we carefully choose our running partners for motivation and growth, I believe in surrounding myself with individuals who uplift, inspire, and challenge me to be the best version of myself in all aspects of my life. I think this is too long! Wishing everyone a good luck in joining this giveaway! 🏃🏽‍♀️ Best, Louie Picar IG: @lsblpcr #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@DarrahPalermo]

Hey Hannah! Before anything else, I just want to say I've missed your vlogs! Please make more this year and in the years to come, please! Anyway, I'm really excited to dive into this giveaway and share a piece of my running journey with you. Running has become such an integral part of my life, and I'm genuinely passionate about the reasons behind why I lace up my shoes every day. Out of the 4 points that you mentioned, 1, 3, and 4 really resonate with me. Honestly, I've been in and out of my running journey for a very long time. But I always try to come back to it. As someone who struggled with stress and anxiety, hitting the pavement became my sanctuary-a place where I could escape the chaos of daily life and find solace in the rhythm of my own breath. That's why the idea of thinking like a runner deeply resonates with me; it's not just about logging miles but about embracing running as a form of self-care and empowerment. I love and share your Mom’s perspective on why she runs. I also really turn to running and zone into my thoughts, especially when the world becomes too much. And I also love, and will definitely try to add, to give time of reflection to God when running and praying for people in between runs. Thank you for this! Next, looking like a runner has taken on a whole new meaning for me. It's not about conforming to a specific image but rather embracing my own unique identity as an athlete. From the sweat-stained shirts to the dusty trail shoes, each piece of gear tells a story of dedication and hard work. And while I may not fit society's traditional mold of what a 'runner' looks like, I've come to realize that my strength and resilience shine through every step I take. Lastly, running the race isn't just about crossing the finish line-it's about embracing the journey, no matter how challenging it may be. Every race teaches me something new about myself, whether it's overcoming self-doubt or pushing through the pain barrier. Each finish line is a celebration of my commitment to growth and self-discovery. Hopefully this year, I will commit myself to more opportunities for growth, such as running! I have always wanted to become a triathlete, but I haven’t given myself time to really do the work and not just think about it. Love, Darrah (@iranoutoffancywords) :)

Wow hannah! I could feel the adrenalone rush with you running this marathon! feeling your happiness! Congrats po! Thank you for onspiring us! Keep going!

[@phiabelgica]

Hi Hannah! Thank you for sharing your journey. I just reminisced my own ages ago. Fun fact, your dad was a dream chaser (participant super supporter) during the year I joined the bull runner marathon in 2016! I remember I was down to a few more kilometers (less than 10 I guess) when I saw your dad running in the opposite direction cheering us runners one by one. I think he ran with one participant towards the finish line just before the cut off. So it's inspiring to know that he still runs with your mom and now you. I want to continue running (now get a little more serious) because now I'm doing it with my husband. In 2016, when I finished my first, he was waiting in the finish line. I just met him a couple of months before that then the following year, we got married. I stopped when I got pregnant and gave birth in 2018. After the pandemic, my husband tried out running and loved it too. When we had help (aka our parents) with our son during weekend long runs, we would run together. Our last a bit serious race was last December when we joined the SG marathon. We signed us for Sydney this year but a little scared because of the hilly course. We are not pro runners so I guess your story was a wakeup call that in the midst of our busy schedule, we should squeeze in time to train to be able to finish our race. Thanks again for sharing your story and praying you get to inspire more people to do this challenging yet like what you've gone through very fulfilling activity, which can be a means too to strengthen our relationship with our Lord. #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@jasmaetayabas7353]

Hello, Hannah! I’m Jasmae. I’ve started my running journey for almost a year now and when I say I want to continue my running journey I really did.. most of the time I RUN ALONE early in the morning… not that I really want to lose weight or to look fit (which is a bonus) I do running because it gives me inner fulfillment, it gives me peace when you’re in that moment, how sweaty you are, how your heart beats fast, how your legs feel, your breath… it gives me this feeling that my body is really strong and I’m just grateful that I’ve discovered it pretty early in my 20s. Out of the 4 points, I like the last one, RUN; I remember when I started to go out early in the morning, and my parents/kapit bahay would see me dress up into active sports which is not very usual to where I’m living or my environment, I was super shy to the point i wear face mask or use cap to not be recognized but then I got tired and said to myself, “nevermind, im doing it for myself” and there i show up almost everyday (3-4 times a week) and got used to it (it became my habit), and im just grateful that I RUN that day, I showed up for myself. Thank you hanna for the inspiration, i love you so much! Jasmae A. Tayabas (ig: zhasmxe) im private on ig :

[@katrinaeusebio5147]

Hi, Hannah! I watched this video with my husband who is also a runner. I told him that I used to watch your videos when you were startimg doing KZbin and I'm so thrilled that you're also into running and happy to see how you've grown so much. :) Anyway, seeing your half marathon journey, you inspire me to try and train to aim for a half marathon as well. The reason why I want to continue my running journey is because I definitely love running. At first, I hated it. Because I thought I wasn't good enough, it was so tiring and at the start of my run I would get cramps and my legs would feel itchy and burn. But my husband motivated me. One day he budol me into buying the cutest pair of running shoes. And everyday he would push me to go out there and start running. We have a dog named Summer and she is also my biggest support because she runs with us too. She loves going outside and she's a very active dog so we decided to take her in our runs too. She make our runs fun and she motivates us to keep going. She can do all paces too - slow and even fast. And I feel safe whenever I do solo runs because I'm with her. Just like your mom, as she shared in the video, I also run without earphones. I find that I can listen to myself and be in the present moment when I run. I think it's very therapeutic. I can also enjoy the scenery more. But more importantly, I love the quiet, especially when I'm in the zone, I'm so focused and all I needed to do is run at that moment. It's like meditation. These days especially during weekdays when I have work, running is my day-ender. I would do morning runs but it's just too hot for Summer so we get by with night runs. I would say my running journey is a more intuitive one. I don't force myself to get into this pace in a certain amount of time or whatnot. I just run. But since it's also my dream to sign up for a half marathon soon, I think that I should train more seriously. And with the points that you shared, I think that having a support is really important. My husband's and Summer's support has taken me a long way already and I think surrounding myself with people with the same goals would help me achieve it. I would like to join in a run club soon so I can learn more and get more inspired to help me achieve my goal. I think this is the next part of my running journey and I'm so excited for it. Looking forward to more of your running content and your upcoming marathon in April!! Peace and love, Kat Santillan (@mariaaxxiv) #TakboWithHannah

[@peppermintbrocolli]

Hi Hannah, I started doing morning walks that slightly progressed to jogs and the shortest of sprints some time, maybe a year and a half ago. believe it or not, it was this time that i discovered you and donbelle (so late to the party, i know!) and i spent a lot of those walks listening to your pausecasts and DB content interviews. between then and now, a lot has happened-- lost a loved one, jumped right off to a new job that required a change in time zone and priorities, and a whole lot of other things. regretfully, the morning walks are among the very first things I gave up to accommodate the changes. I was hoping to get back on track and reset after some time, but until now, I haven't really had that motivation to do so. Then this vlog happened. so much about this whole vlog resonated so deeply with me. First, you made me realize that sometimes there are things we start on, or even grow to love and then we stop and part ways with them, and that's ok. it doesn't make us a failure and we are always free to restart and recommit. Second, you asked your dad how old he was when he run his first marathon and he said he was 45. i was dumbfounded. always thought he was on it very early on. I am 42, and I think I'm done for. Learning your dad run his first marathon at 45 gave me hope that although I would most likely not be in a physical and mental state healthy enough to achieve that same feat, maybe it is not too late to put one foot in front of the other to restart those walks, or do a hike, or try a new hobby. despite all the voices in my head say, i'm probably not a lost cause. third, while watching the vlog, i don't know how but it just seemed that the lines about you talking about "actual running" blurred into you talking about "running the race of faith" as the apostle Paul talked about. The four points you said? All so applicable in a marathon training as it is in our quest to live our lives as God's children-- To be intentional in learning more about his Word and reflecting it in what we do. To surround ourselves with fellow believers that will make us become accountable of our actions. To put ourselves out there and push through despite some days when even getting up feels like a heavy chore. the more the vlog became about the race of faith than an actual marathon, my thoughts brought me back to your Easter vlog nearly a year ago. That vlog will always, always be personal and unforgettable to me, but that is another story so i won't go there anymore. Didn't mean this really to be this long and emotional but here we are. I hope you keep doing what you do because you are an inspiration to many! I hope you enjoy your Boston Marathon experience. God bless you and your family! #takbowithhannah -joy on ig

WOOOOOHH!! Goodluck on your marathon!! Love lots, Hannah

[@AimeeryDC]

you are such an inspiration, Hannah! I was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma at 21 :' ( and had to stop film school in UP. I've been following u since 2016 and im so so inspired by your runningcontent with your family. Now that im prepping for Chemo, I want to help my body and been running/jog a bit in our neighborhood. Love youuu kween! 🤍

[@sofieflarup1471]

Such a nice video! Im running my first marathon tomorrow in Copenhagen, Denmark. Thank you for the motivating video to continue running after the half marathon and set new goals!

[@franceschiong7741]

Just got into running a few weeks ago and this video inspired me so much. THANK YOU! :')

[@ariellemiranda2544]

Hi Hannah, You are such an inspiring soul and so so encouraging. I can't help but smile and cry throughout the whole vlog. There really is a difference when you add God in your day to day. He truly is our portion. Proud of you, Hannah!! God bless you! :)

[@cg11698]

Hey there, Hannah! Congratulations for Sub-2! 🎊🎉 You did great! Will also be joining my first half-marathon this coming April 28! I feel both excited and nervous because I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it within 2:30 or else I'll be disqualified and going home with no medal! Haha sharing the same thoughts with you, Hannah! It's tempting to skip this run, I know. But lacing up my shoes is about more than just checking a box. Every stride is a step towards that stronger, clearer me. I run for the burst of energy that chases away the daily slump, the endorphins that melt away stress, and the sense of accomplishment that reminds me I can push through anything. So, yeah, maybe I don't have to run, but I know I'll feel better if I do. ✊ To "think like a runner" means approaching challenges and life itself with a mindset that prioritizes discipline, perseverance, and a focus on progress over immediate results. You are an inspiration, Hannah! Excited for tomorrow's run bc of this video. 🏃🏽‍♀🏃🏽‍♀🏃🏽‍♀ Thinking like a runner isn't just about running itself. It's about applying these principles to other areas of life, approaching challenges with a determined, positive, and goal-oriented mindset. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Running can be challenging, and just like relying on Christ during tough times, you can dig deep and find the strength to keep going when the miles get tough. Alright! Good luck on your Boston Marathon. Let's lace up and hit the road! 🥰🙌 -Chelsea instagram: _chelseadg #TAKBOWITHHANNAH #TAKBOWITHHANNAH #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@yumiqn0321]

hello ate hans! first of all, i’ve been looking forward to your vlog about your running journey, thank you for this! also your vlogs are really amazing. just to share about my running journey, I've been running with my dad every weekend in UP (academic oval) and I'm actually enjoying it. It's surprising because I never thought I could enjoy running, let alone run for long distances because i always thought it was not for me and wasn’t physically enough to do it. But my dad wakes up early in the morning and asks me if I want to join him, and now I look forward to weekends because of it; the bonus thing is that it has brought us closer together and has become our bonding. you're so right when you said that having people who encourage you to run is really important. Sometimes I plan to run alone every morning but end up staying in bed, which is why the fourth point you mentioned is crucial in starting this journey; that I have to take action and just really commit. Also, I get inspired by you, janina vela, and other runners when I watch your training videos on ig stories. It motivates me not just to run but also to take care of myself. Lastly, I want to apply all the four points you discussed to push myself beyond my limits. p.s. i’ll be joining a few marathons with my dad this year. thank you for being one of my inspirations. --yumi #TAKBOWITHHANNAH ig: @mayumiqn

[@dooweedm]

Yeyyy! New vlog, we missed you big time ate Hannah huhuhu

[@onebellee25]

Hello hannah! First of all, I missed you! Watching your vlogs has become one of my favorite past time before. When I saw the notif that you're going to upload a running video, i got so excited because I was actually considering taking running seriously. My interest in running started when me and my friends went jogging. I fell in love with how running made me feel. Just like what your Mom said, it really makes you feel like you're in the zone with yourself and meditate. Like her, I also run without music because I also take running as a form of self reflection and it's how I make conversation with my inner thoughts. As of now, I cannot really consider myself a runner since I just got into it this year but I am so eager to learn and improve my running skills. The point that I would like to apply to myself right now is point 1, which is Think Like a Runner. Being a newbie in this sport, I think that it's essential that I learn the basics about running. This video is definitely a good starting point for me since I learned a lot from your preparation for the marathon. I do hope one day I could get to run a marathon like you did. I know that I still have a long way to go. Practice makes progress ika nga nila. So that's what i'll continue doing. God bless you Hannah and thank you for being an inspiration to amateur runners like me. Ps. I hope some day I can run the same race that you'll be running so that I could make my #TakbowithHannah a reality 🧡 I love you with the love of our Lord. - Diane (@onebelleee)

[@___siennanicole]

Hi, Hannah! First of all, you have no idea how much influence you've had on me for the past years. I've been following you for quite a while now and seeing how active you are inspires me a lot. I started to do jump rope because of you. Somehow this simple exercise was the beginning of my fitness journey. I then started to do exercises at home and I started to run consistently for more than a year. Sadly, I stopped running (and exercising) when I moved and had full face-to-face classes over a year ago. The thing is, I just very recently started to do home exercises again as that is the most accessible form of exercise for me. I am still on the hunt for a safe running area but if I do have the chance to go visit my lola in her place, I do run. The reason I started to exercise again is because I have become conscious of my body and health again. Running overall gives me peace of mind and time to reflect on my life and it somehow raises awareness in my family that we have our physical bodies to take good care of, and they know that I need to clear my head which signifies that I do actions to take good care of my mental health. Hence, among the 4 points of your video, RUN applies to me. As cliche as it is, words without actions are meaningless. This giveaway would really be of great help to me. Regardless, I am grateful to you and to have the chance to share how much impact you have on me 💗 Good luck with your marathon and future running journey! Can't wait to see more of your journey 😊 (ig: @sienna.ii) #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@alainaluague7164]

Hey there Hannah! First off, thanks for sharing your running/marathon/half marathon journey + plus sharing a giveaway with us! Been a subscriber since then! As write this today during Easter along with finishing your vlog I am again reminded of how the Easter Sunday is about, which is a time of joy and celebration, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ however beyond its religious significance, Easter also holds a deep symbolic meaning as a 'time of renewal and new beginnings'. You've mentioned in your vlog that there were times when you've missed a training - and so just like any other you've stumbled too but you kept on going still. Hannah, your journey has now become another thread of a reason for me to keep on going, on my renewed journey to better health and fitness through running - it has been a month since I started btw! I will remember all the points you've shared (1) Think like a runner, (2) Surround yourself with runners, (3) Look like a runner, (4) Run - and although these points are all equally important I think what resonated to me the most was (4) RUN. "If you don't actually go out there, put one foot ahead of the other and RUN, you will never truly understand what you were created to do" This to me is a reminder to keep on going, that despite the I am not yet the best runner I can be now I will continue to put in the work, and just keep on showing up - one day or maybe someday soon I will truly see the improvements and how far I have become. Thank you Hannah for not just inspiring us to keep on going! Who knows I might be able to do a half someday soon too! Moving forward, I will continue running, not just for the health and fitness goals that I have but to see and be surprised by what I am created to do. I hope I get to see and meet you someday Hannah - hopefully on a run? :) #TAKBOWITHHANNAH Cheers and congratulations on your first-ever half marathon (and many more to come!🤩), Jul IG: alainaluague

Hi, Hannah! Missed you and your vlogs. Your vlog came up at a perfect time. My name is Shan. I started running in 2023, but I didn’t have the right mindset and I stopped. I was disappointed with my running progress that I even deleted my Strava haha. I got scared and discouraged to train and join races because I couldn’t even finish a virtual run. I focused on the outcome too much that I missed the joy in the process of becoming a runner. This month, I had a fresh start with running. I am falling in love again with this excruciating hobby (we love pain

[@analynfeliciano8620]

I came across your vlog, and it really inspired me. Evrything you've said is true! The excitement, the prep, the struggles. I just started walking/running this year because i need my body be better, to be able take care of my children. But what I learned from the video is number 4.RUN. to actually go out there and run. Because we can have many excuses but with God's words and family support, i think I can do it.. We can all be runners. Planning to run on Sept! Good luck to us.

[@maulapuz]

Hi, Hannah! Thank you for sharing your journey. It wasn't easy, and I know it won't be, but knowing that I wasn't alone in this race felt comforting. Last year, I had the opportunity to be relocated back to the PH after working in Kuwait as an OFW for 7 years. Stepping up and making that decision for my mental health and sanity was liberating yet scary. My therapist told me that it would take a lot of work on my part to get back up if I didn't want to depend on medication. So, I started going to the gym, attending classes from circuit training to core workouts and even dance. Then, my running journey began after I was invited by one of our coaches at the gym who started a running community [Shoutout to Coach Gelo & Team Runners High]. From there, I developed a love-hate relationship with running. I mean, who wants to torture themselves, right? Along the way, I didn't expect it to slowly heal me and teach me how to be more present and grateful for the process. From hating early morning runs because I felt like I didn't have the energy to pull through, to acing my personal records, 5-10km races to half marathons, and even placing 3rd among women [10km category] at TCS Clark Animo International Marathon last March 2024 where all I was looking forward to was to finish my own PR at Sub 1. Who would've thought?! It was a surreal evidence that it can only be God. Like what I learned from your video [which I was deeply reminded of], that running a marathon is like living life. All that we're going through are all part of God's training for us to fulfill whatever plan he has written for us. And just run, RUN. This year, I'm looking forward to racing a full marathon and my first Spartan race, so thanks for reminding me to also focus on strength days. Thanks again, Hannah, and congrats for finishing your half marathon race with flying colors! Hope I get to run with you soon! God bless your heart♡ #TAKBOWITHHANNAH Love, Mau (@mau.lapuz on IG)

Thank you for sharing your half marathon experience, Hannah! I am about to do mine in less than a week in Sydney and I am very nervous. Watching your vlog gave me a sense of hope. I liked the thought of running the race with Jesus beside you. Thank you so much for motivating and inspiring us all. God bless you always and on your races!

The post-race runner's high is an incredible feeling. Before the pandemic in 2018, I was an avid runner, but unfortunately, my body is no longer able to recover as quickly after each race. I have developed shin pain, which has been quite discouraging. Watching your vlogs has rekindled my desire to return to running.

[@ishihayagan]

Funny thing, an hour ago I started running then I saw this vlog! Omg it motivates me to the core.

[@elianamisa3887]

Hi Hannah! Love your videos, they are really really inspiring :) When I started my running journey, I wanted it to immediately end. I started running as extra fitness work as I was part of the lawn tennis team at my college. Unfortunately, running was not a strength of mine and this made me dread every 6am workout of ours. I was constantly falling behind and always on the verge of giving up, but I made sure to always show up. After the pandemic, I decided to “face my fears” and start going on solo runs. At first, my motivations for these runs were my fear of falling behind again in training, but as time went by and as running became easier, I began to enjoy it and see it as a form of reflection and time alone (Like your mom, I sometimes run ). This was around the time when I had an internship so I fell into the habit of running around lunch time, during my lunch break! Eventually, running became my way of coping with difficult situations. It might be because I’m an Aries but whenever I have a problem or am going through something, I find myself wanting to take action and in some situations, this is not possible and that’s why I run instead. I also recently saw a video online about how sports and exercise in general give us the strength to mentally and emotionally take on challenges and I’ve found that running has done just that for me. In tennis, I found myself being more competitive and confident not only physically, through the endurance I’ve built, but also mentally because if I can run a 10k at 12 noon, anything else should be double (vt.tiktok.com/ZSFLStDpo/). As my college tennis journey came to an end, I was worried that I would not have any purpose with regards to fitness or exercise anymore as I won’t have to be training for anything specific. However, I am glad that I can turn to running. I’d like to eventually be able to run a half marathon and am super super grateful for all the tips you’ve shared in this video. One of the things I will start applying more is running with friends or in a community! Now that I don’t train with a team anymore, I’ve been going on runs alone and I do miss running with other people and the enjoyment and accountability that comes with it. I’m super super excited to continue on this running journey and would like to thank you again for being such an inspiration :) Eliana Misa, @elianamisa ##takbowithhannah

[@pearlgicana]

hannah, i'm so proud of you!🥺

[@clairwangqui]

This video has increased my desire to register for a race this year-perhaps a 5k or 10k? or who knows, maybe I could complete a half marathon by the end of the year? I also just started reading the Murakami book today, on your recommendation, hehe, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I began running in May of last year and fell in love with it, but due to an array of instances, I wasn't really able to do it consistently. I got the notion to establish a weekly distance goal from the book by Murakami, therefore I'll do my best to stay with it. I wanted to sign up for a run in September here in Bicol, and I would do it if and when I felt ready-that is, with consistent training and preparation! I actually used my cousin's shoes, which are considerably too big for me, but since they felt comfortable and enabled me to run in them, so I decided to go with that instead of getting new ones. Running shoes are above my budget right now, but as long as I love the run and the shoe doesn't hurt my feet, that's all that matters! I had a great time watching this video and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I never would have imagined that I would love running as much as I do now, considering how sick and asthmatic I used to be in elementary school. @glyzls instagram.com/glyzls/ hihi

[@ivyclairecasino5656]

Hi, Hannah! First of all, thank you for being an inspiration to everyone, especially those who are still uncertain about participating in marathons. Your video motivates me to keep running. I began participating in marathons in 2019. My first was a 5K, which was exhausting but deeply satisfying. Then, I thought, "Why not try a half marathon?" That same year, I signed up for my first half marathon, the Bohol International Marathon. I trained diligently and, unexpectedly, found joy in the process. I was thrilled on the day of my first half marathon. It proved to be another fulfilling experience. I continued participating in marathons, including the Heroes Run, also a 21K event, and the Milo Marathon. However, the pandemic struck, forcing me to halt my running. In 2020, I was also diagnosed with an illness that prevented me from pursuing my beloved hobby. Yet, I believe everything happens for a reason, according to God's plan. Four years later, my physician declared me cured. Naturally, my first thought was to resume running. Just this February, I returned to the track and participated in the 7/11 Run half marathon. By the grace of the Lord, I completed the race safely. I will continue running because, like you, I believe I was created to run. 🤍🏃‍♀️ Thank you for this opportunity.

Hi. Found your channel from watching running vlogs and shoe reviews. I used to run in mid 20s and started cycling in the middle of the pandemic in 2019.. now in my mid 30s I have re-ignited the flame and I have entered my first event in August, Sydney City2Surf. Bought some crazy Asics shoes for the race day and in the future I would love to tick a half marathon and eventually a marathon off the bucket list. Great content and keep up the good work

Dear Hannah, Hi, I'm Kristin and I'm 22. It's been quite some time since I've watched your vlogs again, but your recent video brought back a flood of memories and emotions that I've been longing to go back to. You see, back in high school, running was more than just a hobby for me-it was my sanctuary, my solace, my source of joy. There was something incredibly liberating about lacing up my sneakers and hitting the pavement, feeling the wind against my face and the rhythmic pounding of my feet on the ground. It wasn't just about physical fitness; it was about finding clarity amidst the chaos of teenage life and simply letting go of all the stress and worries that weighed me down. But then the pandemic hit, and everything changed in an instant. The lockdown forced us all indoors, and suddenly, I found myself cut off from the one thing that brought me so much pleasure and peace. No more long runs, no more exploring new routes, no more races to look forward to-it was a tough adjustment, to say the least. I tried to get back into running early last year, but with the heavy load of college assignments and deadlines, it seemed like there just wasn't enough time in the day. Despite my best intentions, my running shoes gathered dust in the corner, and my once-beloved routine fell by the wayside. But now, as I stand on the cusp of graduation, I find myself longing to rediscover that sense of freedom and release that running once gave me. I want to reclaim that part of myself that I've neglected for far too long and start anew. Your video struck a chord with me, particularly the fourth point you enumerated-to just RUN. Among all the advice and wisdom you shared, it resonated with me the most. So, as I embark on this new chapter of my life, I've decided to take your words to heart and prioritize running once again. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration and encouragement, Hannah. Your words have reminded me of the importance of pursuing what brings us joy and finding balance amidst life's challenges. Here's to lacing up those sneakers and hitting the pavement once more-to finding clarity, destressing, and reclaiming a piece of myself that I've missed dearly. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors. Love, Kristin (@belledeapera) #TAKBOWITHHANNAH

[@romeoenguerra2528]

Hi Hannah! Great timing! I signed up for my first Half Marathon(with RunRio) this June and I'm about to finish my first week of training. Since I'm in my early 20s, naturally, I got into the hobby of running last year 😂 I was supposed to run my first Full Marathon last November but as I was training, I got tibial tendonitis and a severe case of shin splints halfway my training 😅 I wasn't able to join the race and this made me realize for the first time that my body has its limits. So this year, my main running goal is to use running to strengthen my body and to strengthen my mind. I can totally relate to your point about thinking like a runner. More often than not, going for a run is more of a mental challenge than a physical challenge. The mental strength I need to push through the last few kilometers is crazy and the mental strength that I get from it, I can apply to my daily life. I've been rebuilding my weekly mileage and having these cool goodies you're giving away will help a lot in training! I want to test out the VO2Max feature of Garmin and I'm also excited for the shades since I love running under the sun 😎 More importantly, I dont have to worry about a raceday shoe anymore since it so happens I'm a 10.5 in Adidas 🤣 I'm really glad you posted this video. I started watching your videos way back when I was in university, and your videos always have a way of keeping me grounded and they always remind me to be grateful of what's around me. Looking forward to pick up some food for thought in your parents' book as well! #TAKBOWITHHANNAH Romeo Enguerra @romeosdailylife
