Aaron and Raymond started their YouTube channel to inspire beginner runners, highlight local businesses, and raise awareness around mental health issues
Towards the end of last year, Aaron Coulter said he found himself in a "dark spot" due to his weight, which had reached 23 stone. He started a mission to get into shape, and decided to start running with a work friend, Raymond Gregory.
He said: "I'm actually from Scotland, but I moved to Belfast when I met a girl over here about six years ago, then Raymond and I met at work, we work on the ferries. "People at work come and ask me about how to get into running, and telling me how much the videos have been helping with their mental health as well.
Aaron said: "We've started a partnership with West Wellbeing so it means if anyone ever comes to us with problems, we've got somebody we can send them to. If someone came to me with a problem, there's not much I can do. But now being partnered with West Wellbeing, it means we've got somewhere we can branch out to, we can send people there for some help.
As for how running has helped him over the past few months, he said: "You don't realise how bad you are until you're good. Before I started running and I was at my heaviest, I was so grumpy at even the silliest smallest things throughout the day.
