Phily, the quality and content of your videos is exceptional! You have a really engaging presenting style and the production is awesome! Keep up the great work!

Great advice, having only done one marathon last year I broke it up into 3 sections 10 miles, 10 miles then the final 10k and that helped. I also ignored what my watch suggested as a time and just thought treat it like a super long run, with the main aim being to finish without stopping.
I came back to running last year age 61 after a 30 year break (was still cycling ) Managed Belfast marathon 3.13.21 and planning Sub 3 at Dublin in a few weeks .I think knowing your body and listening to it helps lots.And as you say not being a slave to plan.Keep up the good work 😊
Really enjoyed this one. I remember when training for my first marathon I would become ravenous 2 days after my long run and would eat everything in sight. 😂
I ran my first marathon only last month and what you covered really hit home, particularly half way is 20 miles and that it will hurt. Can't underestimate the come down afterwards either. Really good video.
Great tips Phily! Running Run2Paris next week which should be 4 half marathons over 4 days but 1 of my teammates pulled out so will be 1 Marathon and 3 half marathons and I’ve never run a Marathon before 😬😬
I don't care how much I hurt, I'll take a warm bath over the ice! 😆 Great tips and info! I only do trail races now, and trail marathons aren't as common, but anyone who can run a marathon can run a 50k. It's a completely different world, not focused on pace, and so much fun!
Really excellent advice can relate to everything you said from my marathon running days and new marathoners listen to this advice Phily is 100% correct, also format of presentation brilliant so easy to listen too and keeps your attention.
Phily I just found your channel from Harry’s top park run video, these are great tips and I will try them as I prepare for the Cardiff Marathon. Thanks
Great video Phily and great advice too . I have the TCS New York City Marathon in November have done 7 marathons up till now and it's all about how you are on the day . Keep up the good work and good luck in night of the 10ks 👍🙂
Here's one for you Phily half way around a marathon is mile 20 (brickwall)... true But when you run your first ultra - there is no brick wall at mile 20... (get that thought in your head and you will not struggle at mile 26
@@PhilyBowden I was so irritated trying for a marathon the Tissington Trail and lockdown stopped that so after all the training I ran 7 laps of the near town... each lap is 7 miles I asked lots of tips of Ultra runners, and they all said its in your head... you know you can run, crawl and walk them all, and all of a sudden run again... well thats an Ultra... and the Ultra is only at its minimum 31.06 miles only 6 miles more than an a marathon.... and the tips I had where its only 6 more miles..... can you run and easy 6 after a marathon (then thats an Ultra).... or can you run it at a progressive pace - which is what I did.... 4:47:04 the fastest and first Ultra I've run ..... then ran 2 more that year ..... we all have doubts in ours heads thats the only hurdle - get out there!!
Something I've noticed in doing 8 marathons is that someone who "looks" less fit or much older than you *will* overtake you in the second half! (In fact, I should now be that person. But I'm not).
Great video. I’ve not run a marathon yet, a half was painful enough! I’m tempted to skip road marathons entirely and do a 50k trail run (slower with better fuelling). Thoughts? Do you do any trails or would that be bad for your track and road races?
Oh interesting take! I’ve not really raced any trails no, cross country would be the closest to that. Love doing some easy runs on the trails though I think a trail marathon or 50k would see me off.. I’d probably lose concentration and fall flat on my face 😂
That's exactly what I did, and I don't regret it! A 50k might be a bit longer than a marathon, but the training and races themselves are so much more relaxed. Running a marathon in the road isn't high on my list, it'd have to be a very cool race. I wound up running a trail marathon to get my mojo back after a DNF on a brutal mountain 50k, and it was mostly a blast though!
Double the amount I have! Definitely not an expert here but I worked with a sports dietician in my build up which really helped make sure I was getting enough calories for the training, especially carbs and protein!

Great way of thinking about it! And YES always ignore the watch suggestions, they are often so wrong anyway!

production quality going through the roof with this one! love it!

Omg YES the delayed hunger is a thing, it’s like DOMS but DOH 😂
The new format is 😚👌 Great tips and advice Phily.
Last year, Night of the 10k's was streamed live. I have run 3 marathons and suffered each time but that emotion when you cross that finish line . . .
The amount of effort you and your boyfriend but into these videos is ridiculously high haha, subbed
Haha thanks.. ridiculously high in a good way I hope! 😅
You run faster whilst talking, than I cycle. You are amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha sorry about that 😂
having just completed my first marathon last weekend I can relate to all of the first 5 🤣 love your vlog/vids ❤
Aha thanks Peter, I hope your legs have recovered a bit by now then!
That editing was class loved it :) great video Phily
Thanks Colin!!
That is a lot of chickens! 😄😄 Fab video and tips. Funny and insightful and really well put together. Thanks!
Haha couldn’t resist! Thank you Mark as always giving the loveliest feedback 🤗
I ran my first marathon only last month and what you covered really hit home, particularly half way is 20 miles and that it will hurt.
Can't underestimate the come down afterwards either.
Really good video.
Great vlog, Philly. Loved the editing 😁 Good luck with the race 👊

Wowsa that’s some challenge!!!! What an experience it’ll be though, pack plenty of fuel and layer up that anti chafe! Let me know how you get on 🤞🏼
Super useful. Perfect timing. Just started training for my first marathon. Thanks!
Great Advice Philly ................... That Fridge Transition 😍🔥
Can't wait to cheer you on at the Night of the 10ks after seeing you run at the Bristol 5k! (albeit virtually as I can't get to London next week!)
I don't care how much I hurt, I'll take a warm bath over the ice! 😆 Great tips and info! I only do trail races now, and trail marathons aren't as common, but anyone who can run a marathon can run a 50k. It's a completely different world, not focused on pace, and so much fun!
That one about halfway being 20m is so true!! 😂 Another great vlog Philly and good luck with your event next week!
Thank you Michael 🤗

Thanks Brian, so jealous you’re doing New York! That one is definitely on my bucket list, good luck for it!
No where near your times Phily nearer the 4 hour mark 👍🙂
Lovely video, Phily! Your personality shines through in your videos, excited for the next one
Thank you Connor 🥹
It’s been 20 years since I last ran a marathon, but EVERYTHING you said is completely true!! Good work and keep it up!
Love that Michael, glad you could relate and the memory of that pain is still alive and strong 20 years on! 😅
Great edit and great content, thanks 😊
I’ve just made the decision to run Manchester next year, really liked this video. Looking forward to it!!
Manchester looks a great one to do, spectators looked out in force this year when I watched online!
This was a really well put together video!!
Great video thanks! Good luck at Highgate, sounds like a brilliant event
Thanks Geoff!
Great video and very funny too. Keep up the good work🏃🏃🇬🇧👍
This video was so smooth!!!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic editing ! Fantastic video.
Loved it...!!! Great vid Phily 💪🏾🔥
Brilliant video as always...

🤯 I don’t think I’ll ever run an ultra but I like the psychology.. pretend it’s a 32 mile race so the wall comes at 26 miles maybe?!

❤ this Phily! Xxx
LOL. I didn't hear that before about mile 20 being the halfway mark. So true!!!
It weirdly makes sense right?!
@@PhilyBowden - totally!!! Hopefully now when I'm racing my 2nd Marathon in 3 months I'm better prepared mentally!! Lol.
Love your videos!
Would love a D1 college experience on this!
Sometimes i feel really hungry but other times i feel like running suppresses ur appetite

Great video! Treat yourself to a bottle of Yazoo.
Thank you, I will! Always got a couple in the fridge 😉
Levels of cool I aim to achieve: consuming a smoothie in a Bevertown pint glass. :D
Haha cool and I didn’t even know it 😉
Wish I'd known these before Brighton 🤨😃🤨😃
Haha sorry, timing wasn’t quite there 😉
I’ve only done two marathons but would agree getting to 20 miles is brutal. Any tips on diet would be helpful.
Double the amount I have! Definitely not an expert here but I worked with a sports dietician in my build up which really helped make sure I was getting enough calories for the training, especially carbs and protein!
Phil I’ve got a question ! What sunglasses do you use? I need some new running ones ! Cheers
They’re Goodr!
I saw that painty dog video on tiktok the other day
What about pacing? What about training fasted so you don't have to worry so much about nutrition or hitting the wall on the day?
I’m scared
embrace the suck !! LOL! thanks
All I heard is that you projectile vomited 400 metres. Now that’s impressive.
