In a powerful demonstration of fitness and compassion, DeerRun has sponsored VICTA's charity run at the 2025 London Marathon, supporting their shared mission to "Run a Better Life." This collaboration not only highlights the role of running in physical and mental transformation, but also DeerRun's ongoing commitment to social impact and community health.
From the living room to the London Marathon
Among the thousands of passionate runners, two DeerRun users stood out: Louis Armstrong and Emily Fairs. Both are experienced trainers who have used DeerRun treadmills on their marathon training journeys and embody the DeerRun spirit: "Meet a Better Self."
In a recent interview, Louis said, "Training at home with the DeerRun A1 Pro made all the difference. Its incline capabilities and stable performance enabled me to tackle outdoor challenges, even on rainy days. I stayed consistent—and consistency is key."
Louis Armstrong: Building Community Through Consistency
As a dedicated trainer and marathon enthusiast, Louis Armstrong leads by example. With his disciplined daily routine, which includes running 5Ks and a healthy diet, Louis is a role model for numerous 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 on the DeerRun A1 Pro treadmill, which features a realistic incline function to simulate varying outdoor conditions. With adjustable speeds from 1 to 16 km/h, the A1 Pro offered Louis the flexibility and intensity he needed for a targeted, high-quality workout. His journey is a testament to how consistent training with the right tools can boost performance and inspire others.
"Running on the A1 Pro has connected me to my goals. No excuses—just focus, every single day," said Louis.
Emily Fairs: Redefining Strength for Runners
Emily Fairs, an experienced coach specializing in ultramarathon training, aims to help women achieve breakthroughs by combining speed with strength. Emily's coaching philosophy empowers women to discover their physical potential through discipline, perseverance, and intelligent training.
In the lead-up to the marathon, Emily trained on the DeerRun A5 Pro , a lightweight and space-saving treadmill with folding handrails and two walk/run modes. Its versatility made it the perfect companion for Emily's dynamic training program, allowing her to seamlessly transition between power walks and speed intervals—all while staying in top shape.
"With the A5 Pro, I was able to easily switch between power walks and speed intervals," explains Emily. "It became part of my daily routine. 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 and more women are looking for smart, adaptable treadmills that support different training goals.
A common mission: Run a Better Life
DeerRun's participation in the VICTA charity run was not just about fitness, but also about purposeful exercise. The event underscored the "Run a Better Life" call to action and encouraged runners of all abilities to view running not just as a sport, but also as a path to self-improvement, mental well-being, and community contribution.
As the official tagline, "Meet a Better Self," reminds us, DeerRun is more than just a fitness brand. DeerRun is a transformation partner, empowering runners to achieve personal bests, overcome challenges, and champion important causes.
As one runner said during the event, "I particularly like marathons because I like the mental challenge. Most people can run a marathon, and if you can run a 5K, you can definitely run a marathon."
