Hey, fellow runners! 🏃♂️ Welcome back to the channel! In today's video, join me as I talk through this entire Journey of the Olympics training.
My race recap from London marathon, and learning from mistakes from the build up. 
Спорт
Hey man... sorry you missed the cut... but thank you so so so so so much for taking me on this journey with you! I have benefitted so massively from your experience and training breakdowns... you have been a MASSIVE influence on my running and a real inspiration. Keep this channel going mate! So many folks out here stoked to share your enthusiasm and commitment to the sport!
Started following this channel for the running, stayed for the bloody good life advice.
Same.
same also. wise mind
Good life advice....rhe bloke got drunk and had a bar brawl a few days before the Tokyo Olympics.
@@andydevinewine you don't know why people make the mistakes they make but we all make them. Or are you perfect? It doesn't discredit everything else. In fact, I'd rather take advice from someone who's made mistakes and came out a better person.
For what it's worth, your last video and this one too meant a lot to me. I'm in a low place at the moment, and you being open about how not making the Olympics affected you made me feel a bit less alone (not that I was trying to make the Olympics 😄)
It’s worth a lot ❤
@@stephenscullion262I hope that the fact you’ve inspired so many helps how’re you must be feeling.
You're a good man Steve. I enjoy the channel, not because of how fast you can run, but how hard you work.
Stephen, you are a true inspiration to thousands all around the world and our private champion! So much has been taken from your channel, huge help and support! With love from Russia🙏
Younger you, couldn’t even comprehend the man you are today. Thanks brother! ❤
I’m a clinical psychologist and really appreciate you being so open about your struggles with ADHD, I think it’s so insightful for us all to hear. Loved hearing about the ACT work you’re doing with your psychologist too! All the best for the future man
I'm a partially sighted 68 year old, and you do make a difference. You're in my head three times a week on my intervals, tempo/ threshold sessions, and long run, telling me this is not meant to be easy but controlled. Thank you.
I run solo mainly nowadays, but your comment about running with others in sessions really helps. Mid 80s to early 90s, my Tuesday intervals were with the likes of Mike Gratton (London 83 winner). Even though I was lagging behind these guys, they made me a better runner.
Now I just concentrate on my age category and, in away, looking forward to September 2026 when I'll be 70 and still hoping to take some scalps.
Keep the faith, never give up.
I am from Belfast and I want you to know everyone in NI is proud of you it doesn’t depend on making the Olympics we will always be proud of you of you and what you have achieved
At 45 I’m about to run my first marathon next Sunday, thank you for inspiring me during all my preparation, your Chanel is gold!
If you get a place in the Olympics @stephenscullion is going to be really pissed off with you 😁😁
Seriously good luck.
Following your journey has been an absolute privilege! thankyou for documenting it with us from the highs to the lows, for your honesty authenticity it really has been of the scale.
I’m gutted for you not making the Olympics that must be tough, however what you have learned what you have gained from the experience is clearly deeper and far more rewarding for your life in its entirety!
I identify so much from your emotional sharing, coming from a dark place. Really look forward to continuing to learn from you not just for running but more so for life in general.
Keep being real keep being honest keep being You and please please keep the content coming!! Awesome mate just awesome 🙌🙌😃👍
What you said is 100% true! There are many other things that are more important than running. I’m a runner myself. At the same time, i have a family with 3 boys, a stable job and other commitments to take care of. Yet, I still run 70-80km every week. Although I care a lot about running, it is always a juggling task with other priorities. In the end, running doesn’t pay my bills. Thank you so much for all your advice! I broke sub 3:25 in my 2nd FM last year. Looking forward to breaking it again this year.
This is why you're the only yt runner I listen to consistently. You're so relatable to all of us weekend warriors out here. Thanks so much for all you do and your honesty.
I work at the British Olympic Association and started an internal petition to get you on the olympic team because you embody our values. I copied everyone at work in the petition including Hugh Robertson and Andrew Anson. Fingers crossed for you.
You got me back into running for the first time since 2018. I had a bad injury, between then and now piled the weight on but after watching your videos religiously since December I finally started again at the start of march. Every run I’m getting better, I’m shedding the unwanted weight and your a big part of me getting back out so THANK YOU for that.
Set backs allow for a bigger comeback. The olympics may have passed but what ever goal you set next you will smash it. I look forward to watching what ever you choose.
Stephen, wherever life takes you, keep documenting and we’ll be here to support you. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.
This is more than a running channel. Great video and important message for us.
These two videos have probably been of more benefit to more people than anything else on RUclips.
*gentle head nod*
Thank you Scull Zone! You inspire me. Truly. I just ran a 3:00 hour marathon today, first time, you’ve motivated and educated me.
One of the best endurance runners in the world. Everyone even bekele have run a slow marathon for a professional. You are in a elite group with 2.09 Pr. Stop acting like you dont know how good you are. Just enjoy how good you are and keep doing the things you know how to do. Keep kick n butt
I remember listening to your early podcasts, pretty raw and lo-tech, my wife would say "why are you always listening to that Irish man shouting?" And it was because you're such a compelling speaker - honesty, insight, emotion - that I couldn't not listen. you've been a constant companion over the last 5 or 6 years and I hope for many more.
I am 56 and still have learned a lot about running watching your channel, even I have been runnin 30 years already. Not as competition on my mind but good 4k kilometers/year.
Much appreciated what you've been doing for all of us! Thank you. Stay strong!
I am just a recreational runner and running is “just” a hobby for me. Still it hits me hard if for example I miss a goal race because of an injury or lose fitness because an illness keeps me off of training.
I can only imagine how hard it must be to deal with failure as a professional athlete. Especially with running which is a low and unpredictable return of investment.
Huge respect Steven for your mental strength. You have made a huge impact in the running community olympics or not.
A lot of great things are coming your way. Stay strong 💪🏽
Love this channel and appreciate the honesty and wisdom you bring to every video. Can't wait to see what you do next
Thank you for everything you do. You've helped me immeasurably. Bless you 🙏🏽
Legend! Love your energy and way of telling your story, please take good care of yourself ❤
Thank you so much for all the great content. I was or am a new runner and you made me feel like an Olympian.
I've followed your content since Hawaii, Colorado and to Ireland and repeat. Thanks for sharing the up and downs. Heart aches and the joy.
Best of luck, your RUclips channel as been blessing. 😊, 🏃
Looking forward to whats come
You’re amazing. You have impacted my running journey. Trust the process, onto the next one ❤❤❤
Thank you my dude Stephen, I've watched so many of your videos and I have greatly improved as a runner thanks to your advice! You're the man
Thank you for this video. It means a lot to me. Our stories (with due differences) are similar....I also ran Lisbon and got a minor injury that still is mining my training and London was my A race....I was going to PB. But it did not end like that and became one of the worst recent marathons I ever ran. And it was onnmy birthday and I was running for a Guinness to inspire others with my disease......i failed all. And I was in a dark space. Your video helped a lot. Keep doing what you do. I will buy the London shirt because is really significant to me and I want to support you. Hope to meet you one day. My next attempt will be Berlin.
SCULLY, you are a champion in life , 💯🏅
nah man ... i feel you ... thanks ... there are plenty of boys who go to the gym knowing what to do ... simply because a pro runner like you is giving it all back for us ... appreciate it
Great to see you looking so positive Scully. You're always so open and honest and we love you for it ❤👍
Dude, my ADHD is off the charts and I thank you for raising the topic. I can't even follow a simple planning plan but oddly enough, when you start taking, I sit and listen until the end! That tells so much. You touch on many topics and make me realize that there's so much more to learn! Thanks🙏
I like working with a collegue who has ADHD. We talk about what needs to be done and when he has to stop and talk with me before anything else.
It's astonishing how fast he can dismantle and explore a problem and how much information he can collect. I don't see it as an illness anymore. It's a gift if you can provide the right guidance.
@@MrHaggyy Absolutely, we have certain gifts and powers that simply need to be harnessed to keep everything under control. Running certainly helps!
@@50Something Yeah we both run to get a clear mind.
You've done a fantastic job with the channel. Discovered you when I started running, and I've loved following your own incredible journey, and taking as many of your tips with me on my own runs. You're an absolute beast of an athlete. Thank you for all the videos you've created. And congrats on the 100k! =D Also, cheers for being so vulnerable and human. You've got great things ahead of you :)
Thanks for everything, Champ. I don't run a lot or that fast, but I try to get better, and your videos really help me keep at it. So, thanks again!
I loved the accountability towards yourself and the honesty.
That’s why we are here, “change lives”. And you my friend are a life changer!!
Thank you for sharing the true story. It is not easy.
You always honest, which i appreciate.
You have shown us how to deal with the “seasons” of our lives.
So so much more than just running.
It is amazing how down to earth you are and how real your content is. Keep it up.
Your training advice is awesome, and your honesty is straight up beautiful. Thanks for being you.
My London didn't go aswell as last year even though I squeezed a 2 min pb.3 hour pace for 20 miles then crashed...oh well.But the 16 weeks training,running 6 days a week got me mega fit again,lost weight,no alcohol.So sometimes the journey is just as good as the destination.
Truly moving post. Needed this in my life right now on a lot of levels. Appreciate your openness and being you.
Scully, you are a beast! You are such a great person and all that you do is appreciated.
Stephen your content has made running so much more fun these last 4 months! Thank you
You are a fighter and a champion Stephen. I know you'll find your way and new goals. I'll follow that chanell no matter what. You've helped me with my own marathon training a lot. I'd like to see you some day in a trail races. I think with your speed and strenght you could do well.
i loved the video. I am very happy about the video, especially after that very sad reaction video after London. As a lifetime recreational runner i can tell you running has saved me a hundred times, and i trust in the healing qualities of simple running with all my heart. So process oriented thinking for me is so muh better than result oriented thinking. As long as i get out of any kind of running almost every day, my soul is happy. As long as i treat my body with love and respect, my soul is happy......keep on going day by day, be happy and embrace your running no matter how your race results are. At the end of the day, it is not about numbers it is about feling happy at leasz once per day
Thanks Scully, You're a champ !! keeping it real really connects. It's a journey. it's perspective. Nod to you !!
Buddy, all respect to you, I'm one of the thousands that you help and inspire all the time. BIG THANKS
Man Stephen, I really love your honesty! I think your words are very valuable for people with similar live circumstances.
Mate, your last video had a massive impact on my perspective. Your openness, honesty and charisma is so refreshing. It’s really useful to me to hear a professional assess a failure, as I trained to be a professional footballer my whole childhood, and I fell at the last hurdle and have felt the type of pain you describe. Such a massive help to hear your perspective. All the best🙏🏼
Good job mate, got lucky and saw you ran past at around mile 20 in London ! It felt special to see u run in real life and no matter what keep doing what makes u happy ! Been watching for a long time and I hope u keep going helping people get better
Hey Stephen, just wanted to let you know i finished my first Marathon yesterday. I listened to a SH*T load of your podcast during my training runs. Thank you for all the hours of entertainment (and life advice). Keep it up
Love listening to your story and relate to it... 61years old. Only been running past few years cos I can't play footy any more. Yesterday was just another Sunday Plymouth Half, set myself a target of 1,45 felt rough on the day but had a plan, stuck with it and achieved 1,44,32 PB and I owe a lot of that to you, thank you
Thank you for doing what you do, everything❤ You don’t even know how much it’s helped me, and without a doubt thousands of other people. Please don’t stop.
So many people are saying how much you have helped us Stephen and I can't agree more! You have pushed me forward in running and life thank you
You are a good man! Thank you for all that you do! Don’t stop being you.
Hey Stephen you are a crazy amazing athlete and you help me with finishing my very first marathon this weekend!
Hey Stephen, you’ve really helped me and my partner on our running journey and to be better people. We love you and your channel and hope you continue to run and most importantly be happy
Loved the journey man and great to hear about your goals for the future after it sounding like you never wanted to run again after London 😂 You make us all want to be better people 💪🏻
That dog running along side you at 4.06 warmed my heart lol.❤Here since the beginning of the youtube/olympic journey and you are the only running related youtuber I watch regularly today. Always rooting for you Scully! ✊
Stay strong I feel bad for you when I found the results and there’s a mountain race near me 100 mile that’s real hard. I looked at a two-year process of trying to get qualified and run that race and this year halfway through my plan to do the 50 mile air, I fell through a porch and ripped all these muscles in my leg and everything and I realize that the race is not over temporarily it’s done and I’m 62 so your video is helping me realize somebody else too so I would say keep running keep running hard keep finding new races and hell with the Olympicseven with everything that happened you still ran a great time
I ran my first 10k a month ago. Your channel was a great help for me. The fact that you're an elite runner and you make content so relatable to people like me is so much appreciated.
Love your content, as an always injured runner with occasional mental health issues i value your stuff greatly, keep it up 👍
Been running for over 40yrs and have worked as a mental health nurse for over 30 of them, I totally get in Stephen, keep up the good work man ❤
I ran my first marathon today and your videos helped me a lot. Just a normal Sunday!
I’ve watched you from when you had 10,000 followers and enjoyed every video. You’re so honest and it doesn’t feel scripted. Keep running Stephen ❤
Thankyou Steven you're a wise man and a champ.
Really inspiring story. I find this very helpful to help me understand what my why is and what running gives to me ❤
‘What would scully say?’ Is gonna stick with me , thanks for everything you do ❤ keep being you and doing what you do !
Like some fellow runners said, I joined this channel for running advice and I received so much more than that. The advice on tackling mental health, being true to who you are, chasing dreams even if those dreams shape differently than we imagined, the laughs. All of it. Thank you! We are here for it!
Thank you for openly talking about your feelings and emotions! That’s what we all sometimes need, to feel that we’re not alone
I’ve been personally struggling with recovering after the Covid, I got in September: more than half a year has passed, but I’m not able to run more than a few km, or to not get sick every couple of weeks. I used to run 70km per week and was about to run a marathon in October. Now, I do what you said: allowing myself to be weak sometimes, not be very demanding!
We’re all just people and it’s ok to be just a human being: sometimes said, sometimes happy, sometimes strong, sometimes weak!
Be simpler to yourself and focus on your happiness
One day, we will all achieve what we’re looking for
I simply love running, but I've been struggling with the "why" aspect of it - especially when it comes to being consistent with my training, with also having all kind of things which need my attention.
Thanks for your positivity and perseverance, it does help us immensly. Keep it up!
Stephen, keep up the great work mate. You’re an inspiration to many and I always look up to you as a running a fan! I fondly remember back in 2010(ish) doing 600m reps with you in Mary Peters, well, being the donkey for 600m while you completed 10x800m at 2.08/10 pace. Casual enough session for you too. Then our trip to Greencastle for the Boxing Day 5miler. Always good to be in your company and listen to your wisdom, even back then many years ago. Keep being yourself! 🦾🫶🏻
Thank you for the sacrifice! Your wisdom has added to my performance and enjoyment of running 🏃♂️
This is such a great watch and it’s been fantastic to follow the journey since the start of last year with the ups and downs on that journey. Would love to go run in Boulder or Italy or Font Romeu but not so much the travel and hassle to get there and back. It’s been a great 18 months following your story and I hope it continues for 18 more. I still grimace watching that Hawaii video where you fall not once but twice with that bloody drone lol. It’s been brilliant Stephen 👏👏👏
Excellent content, as always
Just want to reiterate what many other comments have said about you having a massive impact on my running. Literally the best, most useful info on RUclips about running and the mental side of it. I'm a novice and old runner and even I find your coaching info so helpful. Thanks for everything Stephen. I know if you keep on this path of keeping it real in running, you'll have continued success.
You're such an inspiration. Love your channel.
What can I say at this point? We love you, Scully. We love the human behind the running. We admire how you go through what you go through and we take from your insights what makes sense for our own life. It is awesome that you are there for us. Thank you!Keep moving 💪🏼!
I been watching your videos for a few years now and learned a lot. I started my running at 40 and have stayed consistently with it for the past 3 years. At my peak fitness, I got gout in my right foot which took me out for almost 2 months. I started my running back and in 2 weeks I got gout again but this time in my left foot which took me out for another 2 months. These 4 months of barely being able to walk set my fitness back. Now I'm back at it and feel I'm starting from where I was 3 years ago. Trying to stay positive and get myself back into shape for my race in August. This is my first real setback and have learned from it. Thank you for all your advice in running but also the struggles. Shows everyone no matter where you are in running has their struggles. Again thank you.
You are such a wonderful human being and you have impacted so many. 👍
Thank you so much, your channel really inspires me.
Life is about learning and I am sure that all the people here had learnt a lot. Congratulations!!! Had you achieved the Olimpics we wouldn’t have learnt that much. I will be following your next journey. 👏👏👏
By far the best, inspirational and honest channel on RUclips…..
Love your outlook. Keep the inspiration going! You are one of the only people who avoids the fluff and nonsense in the YT running world. Honesty and no bs. If you ever run NYC or BOS please reach out.
Great video. Hell of an effort trying to make the Olympics, keep your head up!
Very positive. There are so many races out there. Its seems like a hard road if you just limit yourself to one outcome. Be curious and see how good you can be not just for one race but all. A coach sounds like a great way to reduce the burden and really enjoy being the best you can be.
You're such a great guy! Keep up the good work!
Your last two videos have been brilliant. Instead of being down about my lack of progress or failed sessions I now know that there are more important things in life, one being the fact that I can actually run regardless of pace or effort. I can just step outdoors and run as I like. You have made me remember that, thank you.
Good luck in the next chapter, wherever it takes you
We love you and your channel for you. Thank you for sharing with us I know I've become a better runner and a better person with healthy habits so thanks for everything
You inspired me (at age 61) to pursue running a little more serious and it has taken me to places I never would have thought! I'm headed to Sydney Australia in the fall with the family to make some memories after a big marathon run (3:08:22) to get an invite to the Marathon Majors AG World Championships. Then on to Chicago 4 weeks after. I just needed gym and some other little things to get over the hump. Took your exercises and put them to use. Thanks for all the help and happiness. I needed sport to balance out my work life and now I spend tons of time outside and with my family and friends!
Love this attitude. I agree completely, it is just a job. More important is to have fun!
Just finished my first marathon today. I did better than I expected and I have you to thank for part of that.
Towards the end I kept saying to myself “Just Another Sunday”.
I feel like I've been running myself into the ground lately and finally decided to take 2 weeks to reset.
All we see in social media is success, and that makes us feel like we need to keep going. But in reality even the best, like you, need to take time to recover and focus on wellness. Us mere mortals need even more recovery time. That mind over matter mantra only works until you break.
Thanks for opening up and sharing. Thank you for being positive. Thanks for being real.
I hope doing some ultra races are on your list of long term goals. I would defiantly tune in to watch that journey. So many cool things out there to explore
First of many chapters i hope Stephen. Top content as always!
Really refreshing, thanks for sharing 🙏🙌
Stephen, I have recently come across the channel and it's great to hear a local voice sharing their experiences.
You are very inspirational, after a lifetime of rugby and hurling, I stopped caring about my fitness when the babies arrived. It was until recently i was asked by a work colleague to do a leg of the Belfast marathon.
Using Garmins Coach Greg, I've gone from a 1km run to an 8k in preparation for Sunday's leg.
But what I've gotten from the past two weeks of listening to you, is you need to focus on enjoying the run. In my eyes if you aren't enjoying it, the less likely you'll want to do it again.
I'm buzzing to get out to do my new 7.7k lap in the mournes later today as I begin to slow down in preparation for Sunday's leg.
Always remember you've gotten to an Olympics, something millions if not billions can only dream about.
Now it's time to enjoy the runs again and remember what its all about!
Good luck 🤟
Thanks Scully. I struggle with ADHD too - appreciate your honesty
