PE classes always made me hate sports and running, but now as an adult I see that I am fit and that we should not compare ourselves to actually get better😊

[@Laura_Zamora]

You don’t understand what this video just triggered in me!!😭😭 I’m a mom of 2 babies who coincidentally just got a really expensive jogging stroller for CHEAP. You motivated to put my gear on, strap my baby, and start my running journey!! THANK YOUUU 🙌🏼😭❤️

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

OMGGG

[@Emma-Maze]

I hope you and your babies will have lots of fun 😸

Don't be afraid of the 1/2 marathon. I'm 62 year old man,200 lbs,who had a minor stroke 3 years ago. I ran 3 1/2 marathons in the last year. Although slow, I did it. Around 2:57. Started training for another one for October 2024 with a goal of 2:00 hours. If I can do it anyone can do it. Take walking breaks. No shame in that.

[@hannahjett3220]

Thank you for sharing your story!

[@leslie117777777]

I actually came back to rewatch this video because it’s such a beautiful reminder of how we should enjoy our runs and celebrate our bodies every step of the way. I find myself getting caught up in pace or competing which really takes away some of the joy. Thank you for the reminder of what’s actually important in running the joy, the community, the love, and the support we give one another & ourselves 🥰💛

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

I am SO happy you ended up realizing that within yourself and found your way back to the video for the reminder

[@MsInthebeginning]

I've started my running journey the past 2 1/2 months and trying not to track my pace is so hard! each time I get caught up with working on my pace I instantly remind myself to relax and just continue to enjoy running b/c it is beautiful and so fulfilling!

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

not tracking pace is gamechanging and helps you be so much more present!!! I didn't use a watch pretty much my whole training and didn't even wear one during the race!

[@MOMM4]

Best video very informative. I was determined to run a 5k for Nov 2023 but life happened now here I am once again watching ur video and feeling determined I WILL RUN MY FIRST 5k 2024… can’t wait to be apart of NY 5k so much more I wanted to say but yeah I will reach back out to you

[@irahevardome]

been watching videos on how to start running and it has been overwhelming until i came across your video!! felt like getting big sister tips and advices from you! love this!

[@ClauNazepam]

I just signed up for my first half marathon! It seems like a big step up from the 10K and I’m a little scared but you made me feel better.

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

OMGGGGG u got this!!! pace yourself, I know you're going to do amazing!!!

[@momentmemos]

Such a well made video, I can tell you put a lot of time into it! Thank you, it was super helpful as I‘m signing up for a half marathon after summer:)

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

YAYYYYY that makes me so happy!!! You got this

[@klassi_chicc]

I want to run my first marathon in 2025! I was hesitant but this video has me convinced

[@ActingLikeaMom]

Ohhhh I love the 5 min switch up. Great idea father in law

[@jaynez9027]

Just found this video and love all the advice!!! It’s really really true and helpful. I signed up for a half in September! So excited, I’m sure it’ll be terrifying as it gets closer lol. I definitely will do a lot of run/walking!

[@sylviablodorn]

Just started running again after being an xc runner during high school & have been really disappointed in my pace bc I’m not where I was at then (obv) so your words on that made me really happy!! Also flying over running is so interesting will def try that!

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

YESSSS focus on flying

[@didyoujust7810]

The only thing that I have to do is check my pace because I'm a quick runner (5.5/km) so I can do 5k easily, but as soon as I get past that, at that speed, I tank. So during training for longer I will have to check my pace and forcibly slow myself down to about 8/km at least. The music sometimes gets me too hyped. 😅

[@solenedargoeuves1103]

this video gave me so much motivation, thank you so much !

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

This makes me so happy to hear 🎉❤

[@witarzan]

Thank you so much for making this video!! I'm not a runner at all. I got Hoka Mach 5 two days ago for cadio, but now I want starting running. ❤

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

you're so welcome

[@samanthac5872]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Like you, I also signed up in January for my first half marathon in April. Except I live in New Zealand so I'm starting my running journey in the height of summer!! I always thought I hated running but now I look forward to my run every day!

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

OMG so excited for you!!!! Remember to hydrate especially since you're running in the heat

[@leslie117777777]

Yes queen 👑👏🏼 such a good video 💛

[@allycoutinho4926]

This was such a great pep talk!

[@jackofzerotrades631]

Excellent video. Great job. I look to your videos for extra motivation. Plus, you are a cutie. Running my second half in 6 weeks. I ran my first at 2:14. I would love to hit sub 2:00 but not enough miles in so far.

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

hope it went well!!

[@jackofzerotrades631]

@@TheCarolinaLifestyle I was 2:04. I ran 8k Thanksgiving and PR'd ag 42 minutes. I'm improving slowly.

[@catrionakilgallon4400]

Go to your local Parkrun. That got me loving running! Great video 😊

[@cedeslew]

Absolutely loved this video! This made me so excited to start my training :)

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

I'm so glad!!! running is so fun

[@josejimenaz]

Tailwind is my go to for endurance fuel for runs and other activities. Definitely better and healthier than Liquid IV or LMNT

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

good to know! thank you for sharing

[@heartquaked]

That pink jacket is EVERYTHING. 🩷 I love how real your enthusiasm for running is. I’m just getting back into running. Thanks so much for the tips

[@LouiseB228]

Can’t wait to start running again!

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

YESSSSS

[@Anna-um2it]

This was super helpful and I love your style of editing! ❤ I do have a question if that’s okay, I’m always curious to whether you would run the entire time during a race? I’m trying to get into running and have goals to do a half marathon some day so I wanted to ask 😊

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Ah so glad to hear that it was helpful

[@ecole5557]

I love your hair it’s so pretty ❤

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Awwww thank you so much

[@denislacasse5514]

Great advice, thank you.

[@lisangculu6620]

Hi Carolina, you mentioned something that your friend brought that helped with sore feet?

[@magicmika_]

Playlist please!!

yesss pls link the playlist 🙏

Thank you for this!

[@csperson2750]

Hi! I love this video soo much! Thank you for the advice ❤Also, where is your running headband from?? 😊

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

it's from lululemon!!! so glad you enjoyed xx

[@kitdestreaming5355]

Hi I loved your video and I have a question I recently started running and I had to walk a lot for my outdoor running of 15mn but when I tried a 20mn indoor run it was perfect how do I improve into outdoor runs? (Sorry I'm french I don't know if I speak correctly)

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

so glad you enjoyed!!! maybe the reason it's easier for you to run on the treadmill is because the streets/outdoor spaces have more inclination/less straight paths, just keep it going and it will get easier!

[@Billy33753]

Thanks for sharing

[@NelliBeen]

Thank you this is so helpful!! I just signed up for a half in April too 🥲 question - did you carry on your other workout routine? I love yoga, boxing, and usually do weightlifting 2-3x a week. I’m not sure if i should decrease the weights im lifting or frequency of workouts

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Yes! When I was training I did running and some strength training! But yoga and mobility are so important too :) I will say though, running training for a race does require you to do more running than other workouts so you can build endurance!!

[@oliviawrightt]

Ugh I wish your playlist was on Apple Music😭

[@josephinekelly3515]

Do you use a microphone app to increase the volume and clarity of your voice?

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Yes sometimes I like recording with the voice note app in my phone!!

[@egdrifts1504]

WHERE IS YOUR NECKLACE FROM??? love this vid i just staeted today

[@emmakate2376]

same i was wondering i know it’s EXPENSIVE but i wanna get one and i can’t find the brand 😫

[@daniellesanders9677]

Can you do more running videos?

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

Yes! what kind of running vids do you want to see?

[@olyvialukas7492]

Is your fiancé from Rio?? Mine is too if so! 💛

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

OMG love that

[@rebecavictorino]

hey girl, are you Brazilian?

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

yes I am!! born and raised in sao paulo until middle school

[@rebecavictorino]

@@TheCarolinaLifestyle niiiice! I was watching your video when I realize that I was understanding you very well. Now I see why… I’m Brazilian too, I started to run and I’m watching some videos in English to practice my English and learn some vocabulary about running.

[@haydencoffman2410]

Did you take the advil before or during the race??

[@TheCarolinaLifestyle]

I took it around mile 7/8 during the race!
