injury update...

Literally I DID do my first half marathon because of YOU. You made me feel like I COULD. So thanks. You didn’t let anyone down.

Ultramarathoning is such a mental game and I lost my confidence a little lately. I’m really focussed on rebuilding though: sleep, ankle rehab + time away are my current strategy. I hope you know you’re a huge part of my inspiration, I'm so fired up by your passion and brilliance and kindness so thank you 🌈 I’m so pumped to break 100. More importantly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reaching $40,000 for endometriosis research! I’m lovingggggg the new bf!! 🌸🦩

SO glad you chose to keep your own health and safety in mind! We all love you SO MUCH and are here for you no matter what! Can’t wait to see you crush more and more of your goals in the future! We’re here for you every step of the way 💖💖💖

sending love natacha ❤ always proud 💕

Only 2 minutes in & just wanted to say Natacha that you haven't let anybody down, I know this without watching the whole video. You are such an inspiration to so many people and we are all behind you. I am so sorry that you haven't been able to do it this time round, but sometimes these things aren't at the right time for us. Sending positivity your way ❤️❤️❤️

For anyone who has suffered from a physical injury (either due to work or pushing themselves too hard) it's so important to see someone like you choose to take a break. We already put pressure on ourselves and you literally have the pressure of millions of people, and you were strong enough to take a break.

You haven’t let us down! Thank you for being SO realistic on the internet ❤

Mario is giving me blonde Fred Again vibes with the bleached hair! As someone with Endometriosis it means so much to see all the support you’ve gathered Natacha. You continue to inspire me💖

You will do it when the time is right. To be honest, putting your ego aside and not doing it by prioritising your health is being a far better role model and being more inspirational than doing it and destroying your body in the process. So much fitness related content and challenge content is based on not stopping, no pain no gain mentality and it’s wrong. So well done Natacha 👏🏻 you’re sending the right message x

Only Natacha could put up a video titled, "well, this sucks.." and still have me smiling at the end

The sign of a great athlete, person, employee, ANYTHING, is the ability to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Especially when your physical and mental health is one the line. We are so proud of you and will always be cheering you on! With or without the 100 mile race. You rock!

34 seconds in and Natacha, no one has been let down. You’re an inspiration. Part of doing hard things is knowing what limits you can push and what you shouldn’t push

“We’re silly but we have decorum” is the vibe I strive for haha I loved her And I loved this And I am grateful for you! Woot for reaching the milestone!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing wonderfully. 💖 I wanted to reach out because I've noticed that Natacha hasn't posted anything on social media lately, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm a big fan of her YouTube channel, and I've been eagerly awaiting updates on how her running training and injury is going. Unfortunately, I don't have any other way to stay in the loop besides YouTube. Could someone please provide me with an update? I genuinely miss her videos and just want to make sure everything is okay with her. Thanks a lot! P.S. Natacha, I wanted to express my gratitude. I'm a sports psychologist, and I absolutely recommend your science-based videos. Moreover, I deeply appreciate the way you address adversity and share the mindset required for happiness and optimal health in sports performance. You're an inspiration! 🌟

The same way that I and other people have been inspired by your hard work, we will also be inspired by your sense of balance and the importance of avoiding injury. You're the best Natacha! Just signed up for my second half marathon which I'm training for with hybrid, you don't know how much you add sunshine to my day!

It happens girl, you remind us life is not always linear but the point is we can pick ourselves back up, we get back on the wagon. You got this, we got this. Stay incredible!

Laying on the couch, covered in hives, watching this very needed advice to be okay with giving ourselves the space we need. Stress and stressful events got me here, and that’s okay. It’s okay to need time to heal. Thank you. I can’t wait to be out there exercising again and feeling the air in my lungs. You let no one down, you do quite the opposite with your honesty.

You’re an inspiration because you’re honest about the ups and downs! You changed my relationship with fitness because I realised it doesn’t have to be perfect, don’t feel like you’ve let us down ever ❤

Hey girl, I am 3weeks out from a severe ankle ligament strain. I watched so many videos on how to return to running, and I was convinced that I would be back running within a few weeks. Hasn't happened yet, not even close, and up until this week I couldn't do any exercise. So I've been a mental wreck. This honestly came at such an important time for me, so thank you! I finally have the boot off, and I can at least hit the bike. You inspire me! You will absolutely get there, be kind to yourself :)

As someone who's hurt themselves from not listening to what my body was telling me for injuries and wellbeing, seeing this video is unbelievably helpful. You haven't let anyone down, you've shown true strength by taking that step back for a minute. Do it when it feels right, and know that you helped reinforce listening to our bods for other people 💜
