    I'm so darn proud of you for everything you've done. I chatted with you a tiny bit after your first marathon of this journey and I mentioned how inspiring your journey is, and it remains so. As someone who is chronically ill you brought my passion for taking care of my body back when I was grappling with all the pain and depression associated with my many disabilities. I've made a lot of progress, have gotten stronger, have gotten further medical support and care, and the drive I've had to do that came partially from you. You're making a huge difference.

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  11 месяцев назад +5

      Thank you Jamie this one hits deep, and to throw it back I’m proud of you too! Sounds like you’ve really been battling and it’s paying off!

      Thank you ​@@PhilyBowden! I'm glad it resonated with you! I'll be battling the rest of my life (I have a genetic disorder) but keeping up with the running world via you, this messy happy, etc now that I can't run has driven me through my battles and will keep me fighting physically! It's paid off so far, I used to not be able to climb stairs much at all and now I can climb my boyfriend's parents house stairs all the way up 3 floors, carrying a cat! It's not a marathon, but it's a win for sure. I also just quit school and started pursuing my passion of art and it was partially your bravery that inspired that too!

    You are such a light to me! I realize that I am old enough to be your mother, yet I am still an avid runner, scratching my way down to a 3:30 marathon! I've only come as close as 3:32, but alas....and of course, I identify with your struggles with eating disorders (mine lasted much longer, I'm afraid), so took to running again after my three kiddos were in the picture (2006). Many marathons later, still working on my own journey as a whole person! I too am fortunate to have found my career (teaching 3rd grade) here in California, but running keeps me SANE! Love you and Daniel both!!

    Your story of ED and running hit so deep and so close to home. Eating based of my mental health is so true and so hard to explain to people. It’s amazing to hear that there’s a brighter future for us dealing with ED

  • @gracebeattie4484
    @gracebeattie4484 5 месяцев назад

    Thanks so much for sharing about your eating disorder. I struggled with an eating disorder as an athlete going from high school through College. Doctors I had told me that I was fine and it was normal that I didn’t get my period because I was an athlete and then I had a coach make fun of me for being small and looking I’d never spent time in a weight room. I had to stop running for a long time due to injury and It wasn’t until I was out of college and also met my now husband that I started to heal from my Ed. I am just returning to running after years off and it feels so much better and feels rewarding and inspiring rather than punishing! It has been so cool to follow your story! Please don’t stop sharing!

    Phily, thanks so much for taking the leap! I coach high school xc and track, and most kids are TERRIFIED to follow their dreams. Your videos are so encouraging, real, but inspirational to those who have a dream. Keep up the great work! And by the way, I love Daniel's part in your videos too! Always miss him when he's not with you!

    It’s your speech at 10:34 what mark the difference between you/your channel and other running content available. The way you are always eager to speak about how you feel, your journey and also kind of being yourself and hilarious in videos. It’s just amazing, thanks for this

  • @lizzyg4817
    @lizzyg4817 11 месяцев назад +3

    The first video of yours I ever watched was about your time at the Oregon Ducks. As another runner who has recovered from ED, I always think that the same single minded/borderline obsessional traits that led to me being dangerously underweight have also led me to being successful in other ways and an OK runner. I wonder if it feels the same for you. Love the grind 🤩

    Hey, I just wanted to say that my videos are a huge motivation for me. I ran my first marathon this year (with still lots of time for improvement, but it's a start), and even though I'm sick atm and miserably pushing myself through a workday, your videos make me wanna push myself again. Half Marathon up next for me, so thanks!

  • @johnnelson5929
    @johnnelson5929 11 месяцев назад +1

    My daughter (teenage runner) and I love your videos and seeing you work so hard for your running dream (but also work so hard to love the run!). It's inspiring. I don't doubt your Oregon video was hard, but I want to say-again-thank you for shedding light on these issues that so many female runners face. You and Allie Ostrander (@allie_ostrander) are two amazing women runners who have shared your past running journeys as well as your current ones, including those types of lows. It means a lot to my daughter, who hopes to make running a lifelong passion, while also competing as far up the competition ladder as she can. And it means a lot to me, her father, and her mother (also a fan!), to know the kinds of struggles, risks, and hardships female runners face to be able to meet their triumphs.
    To put it more shortly, your videos inspire my daughter to be a good, healthy runner who pursues sustainable running, and the joy of it all. (And not just her, but her mom and I both get inspired by your work! And I don't doubt we're the only ones!)
    Thanks to you and Daniel (@DanielMoves), and we'll be cheering and following you on your Houston run! Good luck at altitude! And have a GREAT New Year! Keep being awesome!!!!

    Excellent video!!! Hopefully you'll be shooting film on what happens at your Training Camp. This is not something anyone else has really filmed on. Glad I stayed on till the end when you said you'd be racing Houston. I'll be running that too as I make a comeback to road marathons after having had 3 mini strokes in 2015/16, then having to learn to walk and run again without falling over. But, due to my muscle impairment issues from the strokes, I'll be pushing for a Boston Qual time at Houston under the Boston Athletic Association's expanded Athletes with Disabilities (AWD) program. It's a date!!! See ya in Houston. I take it that you'll be shooting for a British Qual Time for the Olympics in Houston? Flat with only one dip.

    I'm a month late to your video but I feel you on the Boston airport weirdness. I had to walk to technically a different terminal to get food. It was weird AF.

    I guess not winning races could be stressful seeing as you have so much public support so I hope you get some real profitable results. Being so young you have a lot of time if you can afford to keep at it. I always root for you but I've also always rooted for Molly Seidel so it will be mixed emotions if the two of you ever race. :o)

    Found out about you from a telegraph article fighting the power, heard about your RUclips from a video on Jog on, sticking around for the content, journey and great running tips until I see them 5 rings tattooed….. and if Dan wants to do a Gyros tutorial, that would be tight. 😅
