- WHAT A DAY! This one was super special. If you watched my Berlin Marathon Goals video you'll know I was aiming for 2:27 or a little faster... spoiler alert - I crushed that goal! More importantly I chased the process goal I had for this race: to cross that finish line feeling excited to race another marathon. This might be my favourite video we've ever created, please enjoy!

Thank you SO much to the subscribers and supporters who were out there cheering me on and capturing footage - couldn’t have created this video without you and you gave me superpowers out there! ❤
@@PhilyBowden it was pure joy to watch you running! But you were to fast to make that special moment last a little longer 🥲😂🔥
Favourite bit: mid running the 9th fastest marathon by a British woman, very specifically we see you throw your bottle to a fan shouting 'love the grind'. Amazing. So inspiring and a wonderful video.
A joy filled 30 minutes. I'll be watching it again later. Well done to you and all in your village. I am guessing you crossed the line looking forward to the next marathon!
@@graemetough9988 Second time I've watched it. So great.
What an amazing touching video 🥰
Many congratulations on your PB very well deserved x
The pacing on the video, Daniel ... the b-roll, quiet-to-noisy, quick-to-slow and back again. Beautifully done, sir. Chapeau.
Waiting for the video to come out, I assumed the release date was mostly "ramping up the anticipation" based, but as a former video editor was also wondering how much the editing time factored in, since I expected this one to be a gem, which it was!
At one point, I was totally marveling at how well put together it was.... a video shot and edited by a tiny production team rivaling or bettering anything broadcast by the big networks... hats off!
Love the (running and editing 😜) grind!!
Agreed! Nice job Daniel!
I was thinking the same - this was incredible editing Daniel!
Pacemaker Dan is a legend
He was incredible!
Phily Bowden. You've forgotten to thank one person.... Yourself..... give yourself a big hug..❤️❤️
I had a friend running so I was tracking him. After he finished, it suddenly occurred to me that, after watching your lovely videos that you were going for a PB in Berlin so I looked you up and I was weirdly delighted for you - a total stranger - that you’d achieved a massive PB and then I was desperate to see this video and kept searching for it and got more and more excited to see it. the strange power of RUclips! Massive congratulations to you. I’m a slow plodder but you inspire me to be a better runner. Thank you!
This is beautiful thank you dude 🥹❤️
You're not the only one!
Daniel’s “come on philyyyyyy” makes me cry every flipping time 😂 ffs
Anyway - congratulations. Phenomenal.
Yeah, I dont know why but seeing that raw support just makes me so emotional
Same here!!
right?! If only everyone had a Daniel!
Oh good, I thought it was just me! That “come on philyyyyyyy” hits hard
GB top 9 ever, now that's a PB.....amazing what happens with a good team around you and a smile on your face! Congrats🎉
and I’ve got a good feeling there’s more to come 😎🫶🏼
The night before Daniel said "youre Gonna win twice tomorrow". He was more than right! 😂❤
dammit now he’s gonna think he’s always right!
PHILY YOU CANNOT PREMIERE THIS AT 2 IN THE MORNING MY TIME THIS IS SO UNFAIR. ;-) Can't wait to catch the replay!
Actually, watched this with, I'll admit, a few tears streaming down my face to see you overcome so much adversity to run the race of your dreams. Thank you so much for sharing so much of your life with strangers and for showing what can be achieved with courage and a desire to never quit, even when the going makes you question why you are pursuing something that sometimes leaves you a bit battered. Brilliantly edited video that took us there. Love the grind, Phily. You are a remarkable person and athlete.
Thank you so much, this one has hit me in the feels!
not all the crowdsourced clips with people cheering for you 🥲 you’re so much fun and such an inspiration phily! thanks to you and daniel for letting us come along for the ride.
I swear I can't get through a single of these race videos without tearing up. Amazing work Phily and the whole team 🎉
Same! You just feel it with them and it touches your heart ❤
It’s crazy how proud you can be of a total stranger. Well done Phily!! Genuinely emotional watching this 💕🥺
It's seems like since you left being a NB pro athlete... You have set PBs in most of the distances you have raced. Congrats on all your successes so far and may it continues. Most of all, you are doing with a smile along with the warts and all. #keepitreal #lovethegrind.
Also, I know this is phily's channel, hopefully Daniel comes out with his pov of the event. The b-roll and footage of this race would have been epic to get.
Y’all didn’t have to go off in the race AND on the vlog, this is a cool watch. I found myself bragging to my step mom about how well you did yesterday and I don’t even know you. Thanks for bringing us in to feel like part of the crew
24:12 - "I just love running!", hell yeah, I reeeeally felt that. And I also love watching people absolutely DELIVER in a race. You're a legend, Phily. And this film was so great to watch!
Hey Phily! A fan from Bangalore, India. Truly brought tears to my eyes. So much of our lives are filled with “perceived” failures (when they really aren’t) but these moments of success are really actually reflective of a continued series of events that result in a final medal of sorts (very much like a marathon).
Your honest and genuine reflection of self, your motto (love the grind), your partnership with Daniel (shout to Daniel) and the love for running you inspire means a lot to this random beginner runner on the other side of the globe.
Lots of love to you both and cheering you on for future success.
What a beautiful comment
Dan, brilliant job, Daniel, fantastic videography. Phily, superb, your ability at this rarified level is shown by you running surrounded by blokes and not another woman in sight. I know there were others ahead, but not many…. Out-bloody-standing…. Your recent life decisions have been vindicated. You’re as good at those as at the running. World class.
Phily - yesterday I improved my PR by 30 minutes in a marathon and qualified for Boston. I thought of you during the race crushing Berlin and it helped propel me forward when I was doubting myself. You are freaking amazing !
Wowza. What a run. You smashed it and Daniel smashed the video. You guys rock. You got a great team and it's so cool to see it all workout. Keep it up
OMG!!!!!!!! Phily that was off the charts awesome. For those of us who have been loving the grind for a few years now, it was so wonderful to see. You did the work and now have reaped the reward. I look forward to seeing you continue to improve and appreciate you taking us along for the ride. Top 10 UK ever, LETS GOOOO!!!!!!
Sat down with my coffee this morning to watch this, first time i’ve ever put a RUclips video release date in my calendar 😂 Adore you super talented power duo. Well done Phily, you’re unstoppable. X
Got to love runners and what a modest bunch they are-Dan, the pacemaker, is a perfect example… so low key about running 2:15 and x6 sub 2:20! 🙏🧘♂️
Pacer Dan needs to become a recurring character on the show
The filming, editing and production of this is first class. Absolutely LOVED IT!
Hubby just asked why I was crying watching a stranger run…not sure I can answer that!!! Awesome run Phily 🎉🎉
Philly and Daniel are just so likable and honest, just beautiful to follow their journey.
Been waiting for this video all week! Did not disappoint and made me cry. I ran my race yesterday for a PB while my husband paced me. It really is a team effort, which makes it all the more special and fun!
Yesssssss been waiting for this video for the whole week! Just want to echo everyone else congrats to you Phily. Such a special performance, to smash you PB, finish 15th, place yourself in the GB history books. But perhaps above all, inspiring thousands of people like me to push to be the best version of themselves every day :).
Credit also of course to Daniel, your coach, the rest of your supporters, and of course the team at ON for believing in you as much as we all do!
Anyway, ham and cheese baguette at the ready - time to sit back and enjoy the video!
you're a joy to follow! happy this day worked out so well for you. big shout out to Daniel, I watch a lot, I mean a lot of running videos, but this is in a class of its own
All time number 9 in the uk that’s such a cool thing to be able to say. What a legend❤. Love that her process goal was to be excited to run another marathon! That’s the kind of goals I need to have! Great run Philly, what an inspiration you are to us all!🤩
Not me crying from 18:30 until the end of the race - so inspiring!!!!!
Oh my word the 9th best UK time ever that’s insane congrats! 🎉
I was on the brink of tears just hearing people shout and cheer for you. Amazing result well done Phily!!
I picked up running last year in september, after around 10 years, again. You're one of the biggest inspirations for me and probably a lot of other runners. Congratulations for your big PB, hope to see more of you in the future so that I know there is always room for improvement.
Love the Grind!
Congrats to the pb! I live about 1 km away from the course. I was tracking you to see and cheer you up. Whilst having breakfast with my children i looked at my phone and saw you approaching. Only 2 km away from where i wanted to see you. I instantly put my shoes on, ran down the stairs and jumped on my bike. When i arrived you were already gone. So fast.
I was crying watching this. I know we are just strangers really but last sunday I woke up and immidiately thought of the race. I followed you along online and got so excited for you. Well done!!
Such an emotional journey and inspiring video. Even more so for me as I ran a 2:29 marathon in 1993 and then targeted 2:25 - but real life intervened and I never made it. So watching your triumphant 2:25 finish-line celebration really hit home. Congratulations!
CONGRATS ON YOUR PB!!!!!
You're such an inspiration. Just got my 5k PB today and watching your videos has been an integral part of my running journey. Hope to run my marathon soon!!!
Why am I crying like a big happy baby?! 😂 So proud of you Philly! Daniel, this video is flipping awesome. 😎
I’ve waited a week to watch and flippin goes live the moment I’m starting the Chester Marathon! 😂 Congratulations on a brilliantly executed race - so much resilience, belief, and patience to finally cash in on a result to better reflect where you’re at. And with a second half, HM PB, must give further belief for more to come! 🤔🇬🇧👏
Me too
Wait, I didn't even realise she beat her HM PB. That's insane to do in the second half of a full marathon
Go well! 🎉
Massive congratulations, Never doubted you, Love yourself and love the grind.
I’m running Waco Half Ironman the morning this comes out and Phily’s videos are great pre workout hype so this is perfect!
Amazing job, Philly.
Also want to add that Daniel is SO good at putting these together.
Amazed at how quick you both were this past week LOL
I can't believe I cried at that finish, even though I already knew the result. Nice editing!
Wow. This video was even better than I anticipated!!! I will watch it multiple times. I was deeply touched by all of the footage from spectators and hearing them cheering you on. I could not be happier for you and Daniel and what you've grown here. Thank you for letting us be a part of it. I started watching you from early on and while I was training for my first marathon and soon I'll begin training for my 4th. Thank you for showing the good and also the bad and the difficult.
Amazing job Philly, and also amazing job Dan on this video - you're both acing it!
Way to go team grind, what a fantastic PB!!! Stalked the time on the day so couldn’t wait to see the vlog, which was amazing. I particularly loved the reflection back to the not so positive parts of the block, a true reflection of most people’s marathon journeys, reinforcing the trust in the process mantra 😀
Well done. What an amazing achievement. The video was awesome as well so kudos to Daniel and your excellent pacer Dan!
Thanks you 🫡
@@DanielMovesI watched it on my phone just now, going to watch it again on a bigger screen, so well done Daniel. "Moves" is not about running so much but more you know how to move us😊
Been subscribed and watching since the beginning, literally crying at this video of such a beautiful stranger absolutely smashing her goals. I can’t wait to see more!! Love the grind ⭐️
This is wonderful story telling! It is masterfully put together to show not only your journey to a P.B. but also your mental conquest to achieve it! Congratulations!
CONGRATS PHILY!!!!🎉 You did amazing and are such an inspiration to all of us!! I have my first half marathon next week and I’m going to channel all your positive energy! Love the grind!
What a result. It is so inspiring for normal runners like me to see what you have done with all your immense effort, discipline and fun - good things can happen. 🎉
My favourite video so far and I have seen them all. Brilliantly done. Both that and the run. Congratulations superstar! 🏅
Exactly!
What an incredible achievement!!! 🎉🎉 Loved this race video and it really had me embrace my feels. Loved hearing all of the fans cheering for you and all of the different clips. The photos at the end knowing that you guys were looking far and wide for them was epic. Thank you for sharing this whole journey with us (and so quickly too!). LOVE THE GRIND!!! 🎉❤😊
Congratulations Phily!!!!!! You are an inspiration to so many of us who have a love/hate relationship with the grind. I cheer you along with so many in your journey! Cheers to an outstanding marathon!!! Love the grind!!!!!
So pumped! Trying to love the grind of counting down the hours till this drops 😂
As someone that struggles to get out (physical and mental issues), your videos have always been a way for me to 'get out and feel the wind in my name's and never more so than when you post a video that shows you running free and loving it. So many congratulations on not only running a huge PB, but doing it whilst loving it after feeling so low. You're a rockstar Phily 🌠 Much love and light from this cranky, old bint in the north of the UK ❤
Your video made me cry!!! I share the excitement of your achievement as an athlete and as a person! proud of your persistence, you are an example to follow... I want to see more PRs. a big hug from Colombia.
Huuuuuuuuge congrats for this PB 😍🔥! Love the grind from France !
I couldn't wait for this video to come out, so I had to peek last week at your time. AWESOME. I still got the hairs on my arms standing up watching this. Love the grind. P.s you and Daniel have been part of my motivation and have lost 30 kg, not able to run.......YET. but one step at time.
Thank you, and that’s freaking awesome way to go! I hope you celebrate that first run when you get there
It’s been incredible watching you grow over the past almost two years that I’ve been following you. You’re an inspiration. You crushed this race!
Congratulations Phily 🎉 So happy for you. Great job Dan for pacing.
So happy for you Phily - you really deserve this HUGE WIN! So happy that Dan paced beautifully and so happy Daniel did such an incredible edit. Thank you both for being such inspirational friends!!
Hey Phily and Daniel, I'm just a random follower from Georgia, US that's been enjoying the content y'all push out. I love your personality, your eagerness to face challenges, and your determination to continue doing what you love. I'm enjoying following your journey and I hope you stay fit to accomplish your biggest goals. Stay healthy and thank you for the entertainment and motivation you give to your supporters! Daniel, I appreciate the work you put in to support and document Phily's journey by making rad videos.
Goosebumps on that finish !! Just so incredible and inspiring Philly, so very well done. Looking forward to your future goals !
So proud of you Phily, and I appreciated your candor through the block of all the mental battles you went through along the way. The montage of all the horizontal action footage with everyone screaming "Go Phily!!!!" was really emotional-all these strangers throughout Berlin who were waiting for you and cheering you on. Can't wait for the full recap.
not me sitting here bawling my eyes out....that bit where Dan waves you on to go through the Brandenburg Gate...jeeeeeeezzzzzz. Beautifully put together video, exactly what this epic performance deserved! Got absolute chills watching this.
OMG. I’m not crying, you’re crying. Nope. I’m definitely crying. I’m so happy for you Phily! Woo hoo! Congratulations! 🎊 🎉👏🏻 Daniel did an excellent job on the video. Great storytelling. Looking forward to next week’s recap and to BTS on Daniel’s channel. Love hearing fans and Daniel scream “C’mon Phily!” Love the grind. 😀❤️🏃♀️
Not even watched this yet but I've never been so excited to watch a video before!!
Brilliant run and what an amazing example of what top notch, consistant training and self belief can do. Well done Phily and Daniel, great team work pays dividends. Love the grind 😊
Well done, Philly. You earned this. Great video, capturing the journey behind this success!
Amazing story and the videography of this was stunning and the storytelling of the whole video was just great. Excellence all around. Go Phily!
The EMOTIONS this editing took me through. Way to go!!🎉
Amazing, Phily! We totally love you and you’re so important to the running community 🎉 9th fastest all time UK!! Madness. You’re our hero x
Yyyyooooo…. This one is definitely your best vlog to date. Love the story and also how meticulously put together it is. The cuts, the sound design and of course the curated feel. I’m here for it
Goosebumps and tears. You’re incredible. 🎉
Damn it! Can’t believe you’re making us wait for 2 days!! Ps - well f*ing done, you smashed it !!!
Okay. I cried
This is not just well done, but it captures all that a marathon is. Thank you!
Genuinely I watched the video you released during the race as soon as it uploaded and then kept checking for updates like every half hour. When I heard your time I can’t lie there were tears. To think of all that adversity you overcame and the years of marathon training and hard work is just amazing. To see someone persevere like that only for it to pay off is so inspiring. Absolute best of luck for your future, but whatever happens you’ll always have this victory!! 🫶
Edit: also just want to say that even though I knew your result I felt so nervous and on the edge of my seat watching this. So amazing job Daniel putting this all together
So proud of you Phily! Glad we both left Berlin with a new PR!! I definitely thought about “loving the grind” over the last half of the race to help me push through the pain. Hope you were able to relax, recover, and celebrate after the race, and I’m eager to see what’s next for you!
Best race video EVER!!! Awesome to see so many people cheering. Your energy and love. So many tears while watching this video. Simply (very) beautiful!!!! ❣️
Even your hair looks faster! Congrats on this block of training and the well executed race!
Insane that Daniel matched the sick-ness of the run to the editing on this. A legit movie, crushing it! 🔥👌
I knew the result. I knew what happened. But I still sat there completely tensed up for the whole race portion, and cheered and clapped when you crossed the line! Congratulations. Thanks for sharing this experience with us ❤.
Nailing a blowout PR is the best glowing feeling ever and it lasts. Awesome accomplishment.
Those flashbacks to the training cycle...and to see the results. Super emotional. Congrats on a great race !!!
The editing of this video was amazing. Great job Phily!
I live in Berlin and seeing how Daniel captured the City so beautifully gives me joy :) congrats Philly on this amazing race, i saw you on the course and you were flying! 🤩
always cry, always will cry on these race videos. It's just very wholesome to see you succeed and the support of everyone 🎉🎉❤
I’m going to be on the start line for Chester marathon when this comes out, oh well the quicker I finish the quicker I can sit down to watch it 😂
Still smiling for you a week later, and thank you for getting this out to us so quickly so we can all share with you. Beautifully captured epic experience, particularly with the addition of the hard times, the fans, and your team. Going to be a re-watch classic, esp for those days when a little mental boost is needed. Gooo Philyyyyy!
I’ve just had my breakfast, i am ready for this!!
Daniel outdid himself on this video - this was so well edited! And it was pure joy cheering for you in Berlin!
After I saw the finish results I couldn’t wait for this video. You’ve earned this through and through. Still my favorite RUclipsr and such an inspiration to my running journey.
Felt very emotional hearing all the cheers from your spectators/family/friends, how amazing for them to witness your success ❤️
Aww Phily, I’m so in awe and proud of you. I cannot begin to appreciate how much effort, sweat and tears have gone into your training! You are so humble and down to earth ❤ so much congratulations to you! Your time was well deserved ❤✨
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. You are a superstar, Phily. ⚡️ So many congratulations!!!
Agreed!!!! 🎉
Cheering (in spirit) for you next week in Chicago!!!! 😎💯👊🏻🤙🏻
