The mental strength to do that rather than an actual marathon must be immense, huge respect Anna 👏👏🏃‍♀️

Imagine her neighbors noticing 6 hours later that she’s still running back and forth in her backyard

I wonder how much she hates the sight of her garden now 😂

its a fine line between sanity & madness ,not sure where the line is on this one 😄

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have seen on youtube. I hope this goes viral because it's absolutely crazy

This woman rocks. Awesome stuff Anna.

Neighbor looks out the window, she’s finally lost it..,😂

"I ran a marathon in my back yard and it was horrible" 🤣

I HATE turn arounds or even sharp turns in a run, this is my worst nightmare! Well done but, don't know how you kept your sanity on this race.

Least u didn’t have to get home after 💪🏻

The classic tale of a pandemic, a backyard and a nutcase. You rock! I did 25k around a roundabout and that was nuts (200m loop). You are amazing.

Anna is totally inspiring me to do more. I think the Race in the Azores was quite powerful, seeing the outpouring of positive and negative emotions. Keep it up Anna you Ledge.

I’d never want to step foot into my backyard again after this lol

A marathon already is mentally demanding, but to run 2000 laps back and forth is a whole other level of challenging. Congrats!

So Anna, do you think the "boredom" is more difficult than the actual running? This is soooo interesting and inspiring at the same time!

Amazing job and the pre-marathon routine had me laughing out loud. Will now go find the donate button.

Amazing effort Anna, I'm loving the reconstruction of a marathon (bag drop, toilet, drink stations!). Well done!

truly an inspiration :) well done, and well done Anna's mum for cheering!

This deserves so many more views. You're a beautiful human being, Anna. Don't ever change!

Awesome, Anna! I have been running my backyard a bit too but only when I get tired of the same neighborhood route or the treadmill, so just a mile or two. You are an Inspiration. Bless you and stay safe and well!

I ran my first ever half-marathon in my neighborhood on Monday, and amazed myself with a 1:36:31 time. Could not have done it without the awesome tips on this channel. Thanks!

Just when I thought anna can't get any more crazier,she proves me wrong yet again! Absolute madlass!!! #my inspiration

Stumbled upon your channel two weeks ago and have been consuming as many posts as I can - Got to give you props, you are incredible. Thanks for all you do. Appreciated.

Anna, you are an absolute gem! This is truly amazing and I can't even begin to imagine the monotony of that run. I love everything you do, keep being awesome!!

Honestly, this was emotional to watch. I read the title and thought..no way, this must be clickbait. Then I realized she was serious. Are you mad Anna?! Then right before she finished, I thought about all the people out there losing loved ones, who are sick and struggling with the virus battle, the healthcare workers going in every day for hours scared and exhausted and some worried about if they will have PPE that day. Thanks, Anna, you're an inspiration to us all.

O the ankles with all that turning 🤦🏼‍♂️

Anna you are an incredible human. You are an absolute inspiration, I started watching last year when I started running and you’ve helped me in so many ways to keep on going. Thank you for doing this, the world needs more people like you.

You are so inspiring! I was on a running slump after having 3 races (including my first half) cancel on the same day, but after seeing your craziness I feel much better. Been running the last two days and feel better for it, so thank you. Luckily, I live way out in the country and have miles of roads/trails to go run on and we have not been limited to our backyards yet. I plan on running my half marathon by myself out on some trails come May. Thanks again from Pennsylvania.

This is more difficult than a regular marathon! Congrats! You are awesome!

I told my friend today, that last week I ran 6 miles in my basement and house, and 4 miles in my backyard on another day. She said, "yeah I don't really count those miles". So, I sent her this video 😁. Well Done to you girl, and much thanks from Pennsylvania 👍

Wonderful! You are such a source of inspiration! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You are such an inspiration over and over again! I thought it couldn't get crazier after the race on the Azores, but here we go! Absolutely amazing Anna!!! Please stay safe, like all the others from the Running Channel! Love your videos!

You are the most craziest sane person I have ever known. I wish I could do the same but I live in an apartment. 😔 Keep safe.🤗

Well done Anna!! So much respect and so inspiring to see you making the best of this situation! 🙌

Yeessss Anna you legend!!! So proud of your focus and determination! Enjoy your recovery xx

I gotta say thank you so much Anna and everyone on the running channel. 2 months ago I considered myself to be a coach potato playing Xbox most of the time and hiding from the outside world due to my mental health which i find very hard at the best of times. I got to the point where weight was gaining fast and not much exercise going on unless you can count walking up and down the stairs or to the fridge and back to balance my very inactive life style. Well I finally looked in the mirror and thought something gotta give weather it my weight or me in general and from that moment i joined the gym which I may add iv not stepped foot in one in 10 years... anyways things where starting to move forward but I’d see a lot of people running in the gym and in the park which I really wanted to start to doing but not really had a clue how and where to do it. That’s where KZfaq and you guys come in. Iv bin glued to the channel and taken so much in . Iv gone from running a hard half a mile to running and steady 10k in months.Iv lost nearly 2 stone in weight. I feel like a new man mentally and physically 🙂 . Now I’m thinking big here and really want to run a half marathon so today iv signed up for my first ever one in October. I couldn’t of never done this without the support of family ‘ friends and of corse you guys . Running really changed my life. Not just stuck in it. I’m starting to live it . Thank you 🙂❤️🏃‍♂️

I don’t even run but I need your watch! 😍 The support from your mom is literally an entire goal!!

Respect! I managed to do half marathon on my terrace and do not recommend it

Anna, I was blessed to come across your video on my KZfaq feed. I am a passionate runner from San Antonio, Texas who has added running a marathon in your backyard to my running bucket list! Seriously, wonderful effort by you!

You never cease to amaze me Anna! Kudos from across the pond!

I was thinking of doing a Beatles marathon on my treadmill. I was going to do 26.2 miles while listening to all the Beatles albums in sequence. It's ok to skip songs, but if you go over and at the end of 'Let It Be' you have to listen to the Beatles solo albums.

“Snail Bolt” Anna, your beautifully bonkers 😂👏❤️

Congratulations for winning the marathon!!! It was a monstrous achievement! The only person with a running medal from 2020!

Yes! Awesome job, Anna! Even though I’m new I’m glad your doing this!

I’m running my marathon on my treadmill in a few weeks, I started a training program and I’m going to finish it! FYI, 22 mile long run was rough! 🤣 I’m currently in taper mode!

You are my online running sister. Hero ❤ ☀️

Huge smile on my face the whole time. Loved this!

Seriously the BEST channel on KZfaq. And Anna is my FAVORITE!!! I have learned SOOOOOOOOO much this week and have improved my own running soooooo much!!! I feel like Anna is my BFF lol my husband rolls his eyes at me but he will thank me when I start looking more like a runner 😁

Nice work, i decide to run a marathon at the end of this month probably on my birthday which is 29th, no pb no rush, easy long run i hope i will manage 💪

Liked it already and I haven't even seen it. I know it'll be good.

Saw the garden and was like "no way". You're a beast, Anna! Amazing, well done!!

Fast and flat course. Full pre-run check video diary. Love it!!

Great effort, well done! That must have being hard because you could not get any momentum going, you had to do a 180 degree turn after 3 steps!

This is amazing! inspired me to try even a 10k in my garden! ahah

This is absolute madness. I am in awe of the mental endurance needed to do this, you are amazing!

Omg I love your mom! My mom says I'm crazy for still running and to stop BC of knee pain...of course I still do it! Fortunately I live in south Texas and have miles of land to run on so seeing you do this makes me think props to those who don't! I am currently training for a virtual half that I should do in mid June!!

One of my favourite runners, go Anna!! 👏👏

This is so silly. I love it!

YOU ARE AMAZING! I'm so inspired by your determination! What a great reason to run!

Respect!!!!! I can't imagine the mental strength to run a marathon in the backyard! I had a couple of half marathons this spring on the plan and the Berlin-Marathon ar the end of September. But I'm still struggling from a broken angle since end of January. And still, your videos keep me motivated to concentrate on the healing and new goals next year. Thanks a lot and stay healthy!!! Best wishes from Germany

the fact that she dident step over after all of those turns are amazing

I trained hard to hold the sign 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I looooved the signs. Your mum is amazing! (Chafing the dream was my fave.🤣🤣🤣) Thank god we’re able to run outside here in Vienna. I’ve done 200k in March, and I’m planning to do the same in April. The running really helps to give the day some structure and I started to dread rest days. Nevertheless I never could manage to do a backyard marathon. I bow to you Queen Anna, you’re amazing and a great inspiration!❤️

Love the attention to detail at the start! Awesome effort, hopefully inspiring others to raise money for a great charity.

I just did it in my backyard 👍

Dang you ran with the camera and while talking to the camera you go girl!

That was amazing. Well done Anna. Don't know how you coped mentally doing that. The boredom would have been too much for me. It was extremely inspiring what you did. I also enjoyed all the little bits you did before the race like your race bib and most of the the toilet queue. Keep up the great work.

Anna, you are hilarious! Thanks for all the hope and inspiration! YOU ARE AWESOME!

Looking forward to this. If we go total lockdown then this will be good prep!

Running in such a massive backyard seems slightly more fun than running on a treadmill inside 😁

amazing!! what a mental challenge for sure. I lost it when you started using the highlighter!

Anna, you are just amazing! It’s hard enough to run a marathon but to do so in a small space would be really difficult for me mentally. Congratulations! You are quite the inspiration! 🙂🏃🏻‍♀️🏅

Imagine if you lost count!!! 😱😱 loved this so much tho

In one of my previous comments on a different video, i compared Anna to a Rockstar.... man was i wrong. Rockstars should be compared to Anna, if they are exceptionally good that is.

Wow!!! Just an amazing performance, physically but even more mentally! Probably much tougher than on a treadmill as you wouldn’t have to do the 4,000 turns 🤪 Well done Anna and nice bling! 🏅👏

You are THE Champ! My greatest and sincerest respect.

What a fantastic video! I really love when you try to do the maths while running! It’s so true, we all find ourselves adding, multiplying and dividing random numbers in the middle of a race that have nothing to do with our times!😂😂😂

Well done Anna! ✨ I could never do that, but you have inspired me to want to go and have a go!🤣👊🏼🤍

Loved this....well done Anna! Did a garden/house loop 5k last Friday and will tackle the full at some point too 😁

Loved it so much ❤️ well done 👌🤟👍⭐️ awesome on every level xxxx

What a legend! This is amazing. I’ve got to do this as I was meant to do Brighton marathon! ❤️

Crazy and courageous. Here in Belgium, we can still go out for walking, jogging and bicycling, keeping a distance of 1,5m. You have strong legs, a strong mind and an amazing heart. Thank you for this.

Amazing!! I did a 5k in my living room running in place. Watch set on treadmill and I was watching animal planet. Needless to say I started running outside with winter face shield. You are such a inspiration!

You do some crazy challenges and still smile - well done !

Amazing effort, well done! Nothing better than a well marked course :)

Congratulations! This is so awesome & inspiring! I qualified for Boston & my training has been going great! I plan on running my own marathon on April 20th at our local track (if it’s still open then) I feel like I need closure from my training block! After my PamAthon I will rest & recover then get back to training for Boston Sept 14th! Praying that it goes on as planned! You are amazing! When people call me crazy for running in circles I will tell them about you! #TexasStrong

You’ve run some crazy races....but this is the BEST - love this !!!!! Go girl 👧💕❤️💜

Pretty amazing.. lol.. also you were able to narrate the whole time.. congratulations

You keep amazing and inspiring me, Anna! Thanks for all you do--that was definitely worth the donation I made :)

You’re a true inspiration Anna. Loving the Running Channel too! 👏🏼🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️

Simply wow! Motivating! 😊🌠

AWESOME, LOVED THIS!!!!!

whatever it takes to keep running community happy!!! My running friends husband had medals made for us CORONA 2020 Marathon.BC he felt so bad we missed ours. we each did 26.2 on our own!!!

Anna you are a legend for doing that! I did a fun run in my local playing field near me on a dodgy foot still! However compare to my pain ,the hard work of all the key workers it is nothing of what they are going through . Respect to all the key workers x! Thank you. Xxoox

Runner “Anna” ....definition, 😃😂 Crazy, Amazing and inspirational all at the same time ! Lol. I’ve learned to Never do math while running, the numbers never work out 😂😂😂

That was pretty awesome. Anna, you rock!

Nuts! But once again an amazing feat and for a great cause. Well done!

What a gal! Well done Anna. Inspiring as ever!

Well done Anna -- and supporting cast. A truly Homeric sporting achievement. Your name will go down in history with Eliud Kipchoge! Emil Zatopek! Spiridon Louis! and Pheippides! Well worth a tenner!
