In a powerful demonstration of fitness and compassion, DeerRun proudly sponsored VICTA’s charity run at the 2025 London Marathon, promoting the shared mission to “Run a Better Life.” This collaboration not only highlights the role of running in physical and mental transformation but also underlines DeerRun’s ongoing commitment to social impact and community health.
From Living Rooms to the London Marathon
Among the thousands of passionate runners, two DeerRun users stood out—Louis Armstrong and Emily Fairs. Both are experienced coaches who used DeerRun treadmills in their marathon training journeys, embodying the DeerRun spirit: "Meet a Better Self."
In a recent interview, Louis shared, "Training at home with the DeerRun A1 Pro made all the difference. Its incline features and stable performance allowed me to replicate outdoor challenges even on rainy days. It kept me consistent—and consistency is key."
Louis Armstrong: Cultivating Community Through Consistency
A dedicated coach and marathon enthusiast, Louis Armstrong leads by example. With a disciplined daily routine that includes running 5 kilometers and following a clean diet, Louis is a role model for countless runners in his community. He believes in the power of shared goals and uses his platform to foster a culture of running and mutual support.
To prepare for the marathon, Louis trained using the DeerRun A1 Pro treadmill, which features a realistic incline function to simulate varied outdoor conditions. With adjustable speeds ranging from 1 to 16 kph, the A1 Pro offered Louis the flexibility and intensity needed for targeted, high-quality workouts. His journey is a testament to how consistent training with the right tools can elevate performance and inspire others.
"Running on the A1 Pro kept me connected to my goals. No excuses—just focus, every single day," Louis said.
Emily Fairs: Redefining Strength for Women Runners
Emily Fairs, a seasoned coach specializing in ultra-marathon training, is committed to helping women achieve breakthroughs by combining speed with strength. Emily’s coaching philosophy empowers women to discover their physical potential through discipline, endurance, and smart training.
In the lead-up to the marathon, Emily trained with the DeerRun A5 Pro, a lightweight and space-saving treadmill featuring foldable handrails and dual walk-run modes. Its versatility made it the perfect companion for Emily’s dynamic training regimen, allowing her to seamlessly switch between power walks and speed intervals—all while staying in top form.
"The A5 Pro let me transition easily between power walks and speed intervals," Emily explained. "It became part of my daily rhythm. Being able to train effectively at home gave me the physical and mental edge I needed for the marathon."
Her story reflects a growing trend: more women are seeking smart, adaptable treadmills that support diverse training goals.
A Shared Mission: Run a Better Life
DeerRun’s involvement with the VICTA charity run wasn’t just about fitness—it was about purposeful movement. The event amplified the call to “Run a Better Life,” encouraging runners of all levels to embrace running not only as a sport but as a pathway to self-improvement, mental well-being, and community contribution.
As the official slogan “Meet a Better Self” reminds us, DeerRun is more than just a fitness brand. It’s a partner in transformation, supporting runners as they chase personal bests, overcome challenges, and give back to causes that matter.
As a runner said during the event, "I enjoy marathons in particular cause I like the mental challenge. Most people can run a Marathon and once you can run a 5K, you can definitely run a Marathon."
