train with me for a half marathon

[@Laturi-qk3rx]

i started following you right before you went into recovery and then basically started to recover myself, can't believe it's already over two years, you really helped me so much back then and still learning from your videos

[@AnnaArcherFitness]

ahhh thank u so much for all the support!! im so proud of you xxx

[@cassidywallace2628]

Just wanted to come on here and say a massive thank you. I've dealt with an eating disorder for several years and started recovery last summer, but things have been getting kinda rough lately. I literally found your youtube last week (I used to follow your instagram but don't really use social media now) and your content has already made such a difference. I even got myself a therapist and introduced my mum to your podcasts--she's hooked too. Please never stop being your amazing self!

[@laura-dd5wp]

have been here thoughout you whole recovery, as well as my own! its so magical seeing how far we have both come. i have recently started running more, doing more yoga and aerial silks! it is really hard, but im working on it and it really is a passion!

[@nowisallwehave2003]

Really needed this today! Just couldn’t push through my run today and cut it short and didn’t feel the best but this really helped seeing the bts of your runs & the fact you listen to your body! x

[@hazzaluffman8415]

Your content is amazing. You have helped and inspired so many people. I can’t wait to meet you one day!

[@jenskye2480]

Anna, your video came at such AWESOME timing!!! I'll be running my first half marathon this summer, so excited! Never thought would be able to do this... recovery is worth it! Thank you for sharing your beautiful authentic self with us :)

[@vviolet934]

I'm running my first marathon in 6 days! Training has gone super well, and now I'm doing my little short, easy runs so I'm well rested for the race :)

[@milasdiaries]

im literally looking forward to watching one of your videos while doing my wind down routine, you’re truly a safe place for me tysm for everything you do

[@jessicacrawford6757]

This is my first video of yours I've watched - I love your silly goose energy so much! It's so delightful!

[@helena003]

also a reminder to not feel pressured to do running if you don't like it just because its a big trend at the moment people being in their running eras which is great, but I am someone who doesn't enjoy running and it usually makes me feel sick and not that great in general so I just do 5km a week and I get my cardio in other ways I enjoy more

[@TM-ng2bz]

No one has to run, but personally I used to hate running. Turns out it was only because I was pushing too hard. If it makes you feel sick or you don’t recover fast, you are likely doing too much too. I started enjoying it through couch to 5k. Once I understood I had to start from ridiculously short intervals and to slow down when running, I started to enjoy it and also to get better at it. Running isn't just about going as hard as you can as long as you can. It’s about concistency. And it can be surprisingly enjoyable to a lot of people who didn't expect to like it. So if someone who hates running wants to try anyway, I recommend slowing down while running and starting with small goals, like running for one minute and walking before and after. Something small enough that it doesn't hurt, that you recover from quickly, that's easily achievable for you, that doesn't make you discouraged and that you could do e.g. three times a week.

[@helena003]

Thanks for this. I used to run 5km and do the 100m sprint in high school, I’m pretty fit but for some reason I don’t go hard like you say I usually just do a 5km but it feels hard and I usually feel nauseous and I wouldn’t say I’m pushing fast. I probably just need to do it more often but after losing a lot of weight I had to prioritise weight training to put on some muscle so probably lost some of my cardiovascular fitness then. Anyway thanks for your comment maybe I’ll try some running and walking to build up my dm cardio firness

[@amylouclayton]

you are such an inspiration - I could watch you talk for hours!!! Thank you

[@jemimabean]

Anna, you are honestly my favourite person ever🥹 You are amazing, thankyou for everything you do!! You inspire me every single day💛

[@ambervictoriac]

[@joybethwalsh1916]

Highly recommend La roche posay melt in milk sunscreen!! Always love watching your videos Anna 💙💙

[@Claire_capricorn97]

Hey Anna ! I don't know if you follow Natacha Oceane but on her ultra endurance challenges, she drinks a similar drink to the one you tried : maple syrup, lime, salt and water 😊 So I guess it's a legitimate drink for your electrolytes haha

[@WeeksWatch]

I like the idea of having a gummy or whatever snack you choose every 20 minutes but something small! I will have to try that!

[@Runner_Phil]

What a great video, good luck with the half, enjoy it. 🙂

[@VeraMuhleisen]

[@kierstenlian]

Watching you have a runners high gives me hope for my running journey!!! Set to run a 10k at the end of June and a half marathon by the end of the year! Have never ran before… took my first week of training way too hard (grew up as an athlete just not a runner so I have that go hard or go home mentality 🫣) and hurt myself so getting back into it again after 3 weeks slowly!!!
