[@balancingbec2116]

Hey Conagh, just a reminder that there are people admiring you for simply getting out and running each week. I’m certain that you’re inspiring so many people to take up running or something else new. I hope this inspires you to keep going ❤️ Imagine completing your half marathon and looking back on this video 👏🏻

[@ConaghKathleen]

aw thank you so much beautiful ❤

[@georgiachapman5593]

You are doing an absolutely incredible job at running. I’m by no means a professional but remember there are always so many factors that come into running such as your height and leg span. Meaning you need to work even harder compared to someone who has twice the leg span you do. What I mean by this is don’t be so hard on yourself. Every one of your subscribers sees the improvement and the huge achievements you have made. Much love 💛

[@ConaghKathleen]

thank you!!! 🥹🤍

[@gabbycardamone4848]

Keep your head up Conagh ! You’re absolutely smashing it girl! We admire you, you’re inspiring so many people to start running! 💛💛💛💛💛

[@jemmazielonka9756]

I'm an ok cyclist and an ok runner. I get in my head all the time, that I should be better. Your content is real and relatable so thanks for giving us that 🥰 Stick at it! Half mara day is gonna be so fun!

[@ConaghKathleen]

thank you!! ❤

[@blackwolf3127]

i've been watching you for years. i find watching you through your journey of different phases of your experiences enjoyable and informative as well. i do miss the hauls though. as you go through different stages of your experiences your choices of the items you buy to fit your moods will also change. its just another aspect of who you are. you have changed so much through the years and its interesting to see how your style has changed as well. love you and your channel , stay true to who you are.

[@lauradimas1589]

life uncut is my fav go to podcast !!

[@saffronh9926]

Conagh i have watched your chanel for so long and I can 100% say it doesnt even bother me what phase you are in on what direction your content is going in that time you ALWAYS make me feel like I can start my own goals even if i havent yet. And once i do i will progress just like you do with everything because you really try and you are doing what feels good for you and its the most raw and honest content i could ask for.

[@saffronh9926]

And every time I feel in the self hatred sabotage mood, watching your videos makes me feel so much better

[@abadab1024]

I have runs like that - often. They are not fun. I always have to remind myself that at the end of the day, moving my body is a good thing no matter what. You got this girl!

[@alexafiorante5714]

Hey Conagh- I've been running since I was 15 and I'm now 24. I just had two races the last two weekends and ran at paces I never thought I could and PR'd both distances (10K and 21.1K). It took me literally years to get to where I am today. Don't be so hard on yourself!! We all start somewhere. Pace is all relative, and definitely as a woman with fluctuating hormones we cannot expect our bodies to always perform how we want them to!

[@taniadean8739]

I think your doing absolutely amazing ! So cool seeing another runner talk about exactly how I’m feeling most the time when running keep it up love your content !!

[@ConaghKathleen]

tysm!!! ❤

[@jackharrington697]

You are doing an absolutely incredible job at running. Its been inspiring watching your Journey on here! Also your weekly vlogs rock! 😘💜

[@ConaghKathleen]

tysm!!! ❤

[@allstarpriscilla]

Hi Conagh! I usually don't comment but I absolutely relate to what you have been saying regarding the not feeling adequate enough. I had many years where I was so focused on my pace and getting faster that I forgot my reason for running. It became something that consumed me and I tied to my inherit value as a runner. What I realized over time is that I need to keep grounded on my WHY and stop comparing myself to other people. Just like any journey in life, (whether fat loss, career, even finding a parter), running is about going at our own pace and getting the lessons we need at certain times and eventually improving. It's not about how fast we get to said destination or goal but the process in between. Once that clicked for me, running became so enjoyable and meditative practice that I am grateful for getting to do. It became more about how to build mental strength and continue pushing without judgement of myself and learning to love myself where I am. You are doing amazing and I am so excited to see you smash your half!

[@ConaghKathleen]

i love this!!! tysm gorgeous ❤

[@kyliemaxwell3393]

Love The Skinny confidential (the dynamic with Lauren and Michael is fun and they have some good guests) and Diary of a CEO (Steven has great guests and he asks such Goff questions)

[@Crochetbyally]

Podcast recommendation: morbid ; a true crime podcast!! It’s amazing, like crime junkie but more chilled not as scripted etc. it’s my favourite and there’s soooo many episodes!! X

[@jessica_haz3l]

Hi Conagh 😊 I started running a couple of years ago now and I was running at the exact same pace range as you! You are doing wonderfully! Running really is a roller coaster. You’re having a low now and in a few weeks you’ll have a high. Don’t be too hard on yourself. I will also be doing the GC Half Marathon this year! You’ve got this ❤

[@ConaghKathleen]

tysm!!! good luck girly!! ❤

[@Gabrielleellisxo]

I love how you talk about your boyfriend it’s so sweet !! When you were on about a gut feeling that’s what I felt the first time I messaged my boyfriend I just knew everyone said you have to be cautious now we’ve been together a year and it’s going so amazing 🤍

[@MakeupbyAliciaE]

I’m probably outside your target audience being in my 40s but my 2 cents on your channel and why I think ppl watch you is because you are a beautiful relatable young woman and ppl enjoy you living your life because it’s personal rather than a sponsored clothing haul which doesn’t show case your personality and you sharing all your quirks including your insecurities xxx. Keep up the good work and chipping away at being your best self and living your best life.

[@clarelynam8597]

Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki is the best podcast on this planet

[@Maddyrose-]

Anxiety can suck it! Love your content so much ❤

[@chelsea1435]

Hey Conagh! The ‘Toni and Ryan’ Podcast is my favourite! 🤍🤍🤍

[@fabiAG1]

Hey Conagh I’ve had to stop when you start crying 💔 I understand how you feel 100% and I’m sorry that it’s so haaard when you don’t improve as you’d want to. Im sending you my biggest hug ever from Spain. And remember you only fail because you try ❤️‍🩹 keep going!!!!

[@helena003]

the four podcasts I listen to are: 1) anything goes 2) inside annas mind 3) the group chat 4) mindset mentor

[@veronikagreen17]

Don't bring yourself down, you are doing great with the running. You are doing so much better than you think. Keep going 💜

[@ConaghKathleen]

❤❤❤

[@millieyule9766]

I’ve been running consistently for just on a year now, and still feel inadequate and slow even though I run 4:30-4:40 p/km pace. It has taken me a year of running to get here and I still feel like crying mid-way through some tough runs or that I’m not going to finish the run. Just allow yourself more time to progress and keep being consistent and you will find your pace will just slowly improve without you even knowing or feeling like you are pushing harder. I always remind myself that my track record of getting through my runs is 100% and that’s my only goal no matter what my pace is 💪🏻

[@aileechristian3653]

Girl you have encouraged me so much as I restart my running journey! I have had insane anxiety in the past with running especially after being bullied in cross country during highschool. Letting go of the pressure to go fast has helped me so much to just get out the door.

[@ConaghKathleen]

you got this girly!!!! ❤️

[@camillerbt]

Hey ! I’m running too and i’m a slowww runner. And some days im even slower than usually and its fiiiineee. Hard run mean better run are coming. I did my first half marathon in 2h43 with two small month of training. The only thing that matter is having fun ! You’ll be proud to train for it and to be able to finish the race Love from France ✨

[@ConaghKathleen]

😘😘😘

[@nancy_austin01]

I love watching clothing hauls, they always give me so many cute outfit ideas! ❤

[@HayleyFaith]

A good podcast is We Mean Well!! So funny!

[@bmo7652]

For running specific gym it can be worth thinking about lowering your rep range. If you’re doing long runs you’re already getting enough repeated efforts. I do about 5 to 8 reps for split squats and calf raises and increase the resistance by a bit more to compensate for less reps

[@sarahvic458]

Charlie is the most beautiful dog ever 😍 never be down with your progress you are doing an amazing job and inspiring so many people ❤

[@ConaghKathleen]

[@audreyklein5718]

Coming from a life long runner...Trust me when I say, the week before your period is LITERALLY THE WORST. Half the time I am skipping half my runs that week and that is OKAY. I also want to emphasize that your body doesn't know pace, it knows effort. So when runs/ workouts get hard focus on your effort and ignore your pace because you will just get defeated and make the run that much harder. Especially if you are increasing milage and intensity at the same time. I know easier said than done, but you can't judge your abilities on this week in your cycle. Running is the biggest mind game you will ever experience...it so much harder than lifting or anything else I have ever done and once you start to see the mental improvements and strength, I promise it can be worth it.

[@brittbritt034]

Hey girl! Just wanted to say I love your content! I just ran my first half marathon ever on May 7. I’m definitely not a runner lol the longest I ran before this was 5 miles. Some advice I can give you is please don’t be so hard on yourself during your training runs. Some of them might be awful and you might have those thoughts of “can I even run this half marathon “ ignore those thoughts! As long as you stick to your training you will be just fine for the race. It’s super important to hit your long runs every week, if you have to take off a run day or shorten the distance do it during the week on your shorter runs. I got Injured and had to take two weeks off and shortened a lot of my runs BUT I always did my long runs every week. That will get your lungs in shape for the 13.1 distance. Also, you might run the half marathon slower then you prepare yourself for I ended up running it a minute slower per mile than I thought. Who cares about the pace just focus on completing it! You will be just fine you’re gonna absolutely kill it! It seems way scarier than it is but once you get out there on race day you will feel unstoppable! Miles 8-11 are tough but just stay hydrated pace yourself and have fun 😊❤

[@missjaclynlouise]

I’ve just stared running for the cardio , I’m so slow I stop and start all the time, I’m just focused on why I’m doing it and why I enjoy it. I wouldn’t stress over the pace, your still running don’t focus on the lace otherwise you will begin to not like it, just stay focused on your why

[@stephanieyap]

omg I looooove poddies!! My recommendations: - Toni & Ryan (but they’re on a break rn since Ryan and his wifey just had a kid and I’m having withdrawals 🥹🫠) - Pretty Basic - Wild Til 9 - Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki - Is it Just Me with a Couple of Mitches - Two Girls One Pod - Girl Talk with Adelaide Morin

[@tahlia4189]

Conagh, you are an absolute stunner 🤍

[@jankahajdu1275]

Heyy💕 Love your videos, i just started running because you inspired me sooo much. Sending lots of love❤️

[@jessicademharter1697]

Girl the week before my period is always the worst. It is just the hormones. Just try to remember that forward is a pace 😊 a mantra can be helpful as well. Mine is "you got this".

[@luzrobert3281]

I see you while i have a coffee before running , i love u ❤❤❤❤

[@vanessalinsey8878]

Podcasts I’ve been listening to- Common Chaos, Girlswhodontdnd, partners in crime (I recommend this crime podcast- it’s so funny with the two hosts), on pointe and also on purpose! Ik this is quite a wide range but just some ideas!

[@stephaniebastidas7344]

Green looks so good on you ! ✅

[@ilariadart3557]

Killing it babe!!!! Also if you like the Hamish and Andy podcast you’ll like the inspired unemployed pod they are so funny and easy to listen to!!! P.s. been watching you for sooooo many years now and can say whenever I need inspiration to keep hitting goals your the first person I watch. Your influence is more than entertainment it’s inspiring. ❤️‍🔥

[@jmf322]

I just started running too and our paces are the same, actually you are a bit faster! I think it's all a part of the process. You got this!🙌🏽

[@ConaghKathleen]

you too gorg!! ilysm ❤

[@romyvandermeer4053]

Hi! I usually don’t comment on vlogs but I am also in the week before my period and I started running about the same time as you did, end of last year. I notice that my pace is much slower in the week before my period (about 1 min /km slower) also with a much higher heart rate (around 180) and I really have the same feelings you have, I think hormones really have a big impact on (my) running Just wanted to share my experience Also I really love your discipline and that you are sharing your feelings to all of us ❤

[@jazcross]

hey conagh! for your gym routine for improving your running i definitely suggest incorporating some power work! Such as power step ups ect! :)

[@georgieroylance-smith3976]

cannot wait to watch, love you so much !!! 💕 you have inspired me to get into running ❤️

[@ConaghKathleen]

yay!! 🫶

[@camilledesbois9743]

To be honest, not only talking about running is brave enough, but talking about the ups and downs of your runs and your relationship to running is one of the most inspiring thing I have ever heard. Thank you for this. You are so amazing Conagh !

[@ConaghKathleen]

appreciate you so much!!! ❤

[@ebonyboyle3899]

Hey Conagh, Im doing the GC half marathon, I hope to see you there!!! Good luck with your training, will be so worth it after the race!! You should try the lululemon 5 inch track shorts!! I can't wear shorts when I run because my thighs chafe too, but they have been really good for me personally. Keep up the good work, 6 weeks to go!! ❤

[@MoreofErika]

I want to start running because of you ❤️ can I ask where your vest is from? I feel like I’ve been watching so many of your videoes, but I haven’t come across you mentioning it

[@nedtechgirl]

charlie legit looked at you like she understood what you were asking lol, she has the kindest eyes

[@ConaghKathleen]

🥰🥰🥰

[@michelefr9515]

Don't be so hard in yourself. For a beginner runner you are very good and running a half is intensiv the first time! you have tracked your runs with the garmin watch before the HR Monitor shouldn't make a difference when it comes to pace. If you really want to find out your target pace you should consider doing a lactate test done. You will have to run on a treadmill for a specific pace and a specific pace and they will get your lactate so find out how fast you should be running to target the different training zones :)

[@lauradimas1589]

Sit with us is also a good one xo

[@cocolhr]

jealous of you being able to run that far! I'm dreaming of it ... just wondering why your pace changed with the heart rate monitor?

[@supermanfan3806]

Love your channel lots conagh you always make me smile and always make my day hope you had a really beautiful day your my favourite KZbinr and my inspiration where did you get your puffer jacket from ❤❤

[@caitlinrowlatt4002]

It's so reassurring to know someone is having the same worries as me with pace! Also some good podcasts are Shameless if you like popculture, the Nutrition Couch if you want health or Toni and Ryan for a bit of a laugh

[@ConaghKathleen]

aw thank you so much!!! ❤

[@potattoprincess9708]

not Charlie being Ed the hyena ❤

[@cjjen7]

The Imperfects podcast Mental health topic and about being vulnerable but comedy spin as has Ryan shaw as one of the hosts. Perhaps listen to the episode with Hamish Blake since you love Hamish and Andy 😊

[@___Ash____]

I mean… I personally love the dark eyebrows haha.

[@louiseghosn6151]

Try map my run, I literally use it everyday, on my walks/runs I find it very accurate. Good luck keep running 🏃‍♀️

[@rebeccalindeberg6801]

Alexis Fernandez podcast and Unified Mood by Henny Moody... Brilliant 👍

[@zethe_z]

Hey Conagh, I know you are a Gymshark girl. But Nike has the perfect length of shorts for running(I also have chaffing issue).

[@caseyhogben9691]

hey, i use nike run club and i recent tired out runna from your recs. my pace is much faster on runna than it is on the nike run club app

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Yeah after cross country I’m done with running

[@corakenworthy-smith8334]

Podcast - The imperfects It has Ryan who used to work with Hamish and Andy.

[@kirajassens483]

Hey Conagh, I'm pretty sure that the chest strap only measures your heart rate and not your pace. You probably only had a bad day or your Body was probably just exhausted. If your body isn't used to this volume of running, this can often happen. So you weren't any slower than you thought you were the weeks before ❤

[@lauredehem131]

Hi! What's the name of your running vest?

[@kristenkerrr]

Wow... I haven't watched your videos since you git the boob job done and I soooooo needed to hear this today ❤

[@kirrastuart4683]

My podcast is Toni and Ryan ❤ watch from the start because the inside jokes are gold

[@luisaa.l7672]

I love how open you are about you and your BF and your heart ache struggels. I feeling sad and alone some days as well - it's been almost two years since my last relationship and til now only some very disappointing and discouraging Online Dating Dates. So this gives hope 💛🥺 also regarding your disappointing run, I got this frustrated as well when not performing as I wanted and eventually quit. Being a perfectionist is hard. But what I learned through my fitness and health journey: your body is no machine and it is okay to have training sessions that suck 🙏🏻

[@jen___b089]

I personally don't like clothing hauls anymore because most people buy clothes that are not my style anymore aka really young or business style clothing. I'm a mum so don't really gravitate to hauls anymore

Anyone else noticed that Kiara the cat hasn’t made an appearance in aaages. Did I miss something?

[@laylarebeccagrace]

It’s so easy to be hard on yourself and not think you are doing good enough. Honestly girl you are smashing it. To even run over 10km is incredible. So inspiring

I’ve been loving the Drunk Women Solving Crime podcast! My bf and I live ab a 45min drive away from each other (I literally pack a carry on suitcase to stay at his 😂) so I’ve been listening to that in my car on the way over! 🥰🤍

[@rociomerino826]

Don’t be so hard on yourself Con. 🥺🩷 You are doing amazing, praise yourself for the hard work you do and look at it from a positive point of view. Take it as a new challenge and be kind and nice to yourself
