Hi ! So happy you are here, I recently ran my first half marathon and wanted to share with you pre race, day of race and post race. I share some valuable tips and lessons I learned that hopefully encourage you, not to run a half marathon but to do something that gets you out of your comfort zone! I am looking to purchase a Garmin watch, I hear great things! All running equipment I talk about will be here: https://amzn.to/3sLeAmf 3 lessons I learned ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ 1. It is just you /// As someone who grew up cheering for team sports, I had never actually experienced what it felt like to achieve something on my own. This race taught me the power of personal achievement. While your community, friends, and family are amazing supporters and sources of encouragement, itโ€™s ultimately your determination that carries you across the finish line! It is up to YOU and perseverance. 2. Your mind will quit before your body does \\\ You will hit a pivotal moment; a critical turning point (mine was mile 9.5). At that point, it becomes a MENTAL game. You will want to quit; youโ€™re hurting. Even though there are only about 3 miles to go, it is pure mental toughness at that point. The two things that got me through were prayer and David Goggins... and โ€˜Jumpโ€™ by Van Halen at the end :) 3. Donโ€™t just finish the race; finish strong /// As you are approaching the finish line, the last 15-20 seconds stretch is go time. I sprinted (as fast as I could at that point) across the line. I was determined to finish STRONG. That last sprint truly made me realize this isnโ€™t my last race ๐Ÿ‘€. You can do anything you set your mind to. I believe in you #davidgoggins #halfmarathon #traininghalfmarathon #mentaltoughness #mental #perserverance #running #runningmotivation #hoka #lifelessons [๐‘ช๐’๐’๐’๐’†๐’„๐’• ๐‘พ๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐‘ด๐’†]: ๐Ÿค Amazon StoreFront ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.amazon.com/shop/alexistrevinobeautyfashion TikTok ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.tiktok.com/@alexishusktrevino?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Content Creator Portfolio ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://alexistrevino.com Instagram ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.instagram.com/alexishusktrevino/ All things I love ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://linktr.ee/alexistrevino [๐‘ด๐’–๐’”๐’Š๐’„]: ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ [๐’€๐’๐’–๐‘ป๐’–๐’ƒ๐’† ๐‘ถ๐’‘๐’•๐’Š๐’Ž๐’Š๐’›๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐‘ท๐’๐’–๐’ˆ-๐‘ฐ๐’๐’”]: TubeBuddy(Star Version): Use โ€œalexisbuddyโ€ to get 20% off all licenses [๐‘จ๐’ˆ๐’†]: 24 -๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ3 ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’๐’”- [๐‘บ๐’–๐’ƒ๐’”๐’„๐’“๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’]: 1000 [๐‘ช๐’–๐’“๐’“๐’†๐’๐’• ๐‘บ๐’–๐’ƒ๐’”๐’„๐’“๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“๐’”]:476 Date: 09.12.2023 Please comment below what videos you want to see and don't forget to subscribe and click the notification bell to stay up to date with my content.
