Time heals everything brother, before you know it this period will seem like a distant memory. I hope you run Berlin so well that all your exes will regret the breakups!
I felt really sorry for you until you implied 14:30 for a 5k would be a disappointment… you bastard 😂 Jokes aside… me and my running mates love your channel. Keep going brother 💪🏼
This is why I gravitated towards your channel. Not only are you knowledgeable about all this running stuff but you have the capacity to be honest and vulnerable. Thanks for all you do. Hang in there with the break up. And the fact that 14:30 is a slower 5k time for you is fucking bonkers.
really honorable exposing yourself emotionally and on this marathon journey, life is a marathon and we take the good with the bad. Really hope you blast through your goals at Berlin and know that you helped so many of us that follow you in achieving our goals.
Stephen,
I’m sorry about the break up. You’re a huge inspiration to me and I watch every one of your videos. I’ll be rooting for you from Philadelphia when you run Berlin. All the best.
For me this is not a channel about running but about life. And just like in running there are better and worse moments. Thank you for sharing those moments with us Stephen, you are a huge inspiration
I lost my wife of 26 years almost 2 years ago. I’m still trying to recover from depression, anxieties, and panic attacks at 52 years old.
My wife was my soulmate and my everything in life and running has helped me with my daily heartaches. I totally understand your situation as my hard journey in life of losing my best friend was a total devastation.
The human aspect of a professional athlete makes your videos so much more relatable.
Hope you'll find a place for the breakup, and smash Berlin!
No-one is perfect, Stephen. Not me, not you. Not your partner. We are all human. We make mistakes. But the best of us learn from them & move forward. Know that you are a real inspiration to me & your sage advice has not only taken my running to the next level, but has shown me what it takes to succeed & become really good at something. I look at you & see a super intelligent & successful runner. I also see a kind, down to earth, man, trying to be the best he can be. Keep doing what you've been doing, mate. You will get through this.
You are amazing, stephen. You've helped me and many others with so many things you can't even imagine. This video means a lot to me, and I'm sure it will to a lot of other people as well. Please keep up the amazing work. We love you ❤.
❤
Thank you for sharing your challenges Stephen - courageous to do that, and kind, for others to take inspiration from. Fantastic training advice as ever also - will replicate this workout as part of my NYC marathon training. Take care dude 👍
Perfect timing for me having just separated from my partner of 12 years. Still doing the wallowing in self pity but also hitting the mileage hard keeping myself busy and occupied.
Appreciate your honest, it’s kinda what I also needed to hear.
So many men will appreciate the honesty and vulnerability here, Mr Scullion. I found a relationship through running and it felt perfect - like I’d finally met the person I was always meant to meet. Unfortunately things got complicated and we split. I was pretty devastated and really blamed myself for a lot. There’s no easy way through these things but focussing on my hobby and the happiness of myself and the people still in my life did eventually pull me through. I hope it does the same for you. Best wishes!
I feel your pain brother break ups suck!!!! Please don’t give up on your running, you will get through this time heals the pain. You are a big inspiration to many people👍🏻
It's unusual to see such unanimously positive and supportive messages on a video on youtube. You're a warrior mate and bringing a lot of good to the community. Wishing you the best all the way from NZ.
I don't know you Stephen, but I genuinely believe you are a great human being. Keep that head up, brother!
Applaud you for opening up. Sometimes just opening up helps. Broke my heart to see you getting emotional. My son recently broke up with his girlfriend and I thought after a month he should be ok. I now know that it’s not that easy. You will exceed your goal at Berlin. I can’t even run your marathon time for a half. See you at Berlin. Thought you are training hard that’s why you are MIA. Life is hard but everything happens for good.
head up, heart open. it's hard to be this vulnerable, publicly, but what happens happens and life is all about how we respond to it. Metrics and "progress" aside, running is always there for you. You got this, Lion.
Dude. I’ve been running for a about 2 years and I have about as much in common with your level of running as I do with Usian Bolt. But I watch all your videos and I get something out of every single one of them that I can use to make me a better runner. What I’m trying to say is that I watch them because you’re the reason I watch them. You’re the inspiration. You work to get better every day whether you succeed or not. And that’s enough. Shit, that’s more than enough. You’re doing enough. You are enough mate.
I can't stress enough how incredibly strong it is to put yourself and your emotions out here, show you crying and talking through what's going on in your life and how it's impacting your athletic journey. Often times professional athletes seem untouchable to humans everyday problems but this video is pure gold to my relationship to sports. Sometime's life is shit, sometimes life is awesome. I'm not here to tell you "you'll get through this" because obviously you will, i'm just writing this to say thank you for your honesty!
Hope your coping Stephen. A hard watch, with you expressing your feelings like that, yet despite all the emotions coming out, your still giving us all great advice. Feel for you brother
real men show emotion. Proud of you man. Im here rooting for you from Austin TX. Keep praying and stay true to yourself. Trust in the lord with all your heart and do not lean into your own understanding.
Big of you to air out your emotions for the world to see. This is a good time to put your own advice to practice! Coach yourself, don't berate yourself. Whenever I am extra hard on myself or disappointed in myself, I try to speak to myself as if I am almost another person and not me. Coach yourself as if you were a friend or relative. Talk the same to yourself as you would with people close to you or even a stranger. It works for me and hopefully it works for you. If you cannot process your thoughts, think externally. Change it from "why did OUR relationship not work out" and look at it more as "why did THAT relationship end" or "Why am I failing" to "why is this person failing?"
Sometimes you just have to treat yourself as just another person. Helps ground myself and be more realistic through ups and downs. Hang in there brother, you have an audience for a reason. You are good people.
I find it very impressive how you can take this all out and share about what you've been through and how you feel about it. Not many can do this and not many cultures allow this either. Being able to share shows how strong a person you are. Without a doubt, you will pull through this one in a very healthy way. Cheering for you and yourself is a very positive inspiration!
“I’m not good enough” is a belief so many of us struggle with across many areas of life. I’ve also had to grapple with it and I take comfort and encouragement when folks like you share their journey. Thank you for sharing that with such openness and vulnerability
Fam your a warrior just battle this marathon and then focus on them demons. Much love man stay strong
My man being as honest as it gets.
Respect this and adore your content brother. Keep it up
Thank you for being so honest in every aspect of running and in your life, really appreciated. As in running, every emotion that you’re feeling will heal at its own pace, part of life is just experimenting a lot of that and though I believe you will come back stronger so keep going positive for this channel and all the people that support you. Thank you and virtual hug
Thank you for being real! You don’t come across a lot of running channels that talk about their life the way you do. Sometimes when it comes to running you get in your head about your current situations, but running will probably save you. Just try to keep yourself busy and stop blaming yourself.
Breakups suck. Your continued transparency about it and your training in general is brave. You said it right yourself about getting your shyt together and part of it includes getting that MRI bro. Be well!
I hate to hear the breakup my guy, just remember you have changed all of our lives for the better. You are an inspiration to us all! Now pick yourself up and lets get to work!
Use this to fuel your training and upcoming marathon. We're all good people, but even good people grow apart and it's ok, part of life. You got a whole army of subscribers standing behind you. You got this shit Stephen.
I appreciate your courage and honesty. It's OK to be sad. I'm pulling for you for Berlin and beyond.
I admire your transparency, mate. You are an inspiration on not only matters related to running .... but life. Following your journey every step of the way mate!
This has to be the most honest and open video I’ve think I’ve ever seen on RUclips.
Stay strong Stephen, you’re an amazing character!!!
Got tears in my eyes listening, really felt the weight of your words and I hope you feel mine when I say what a great inspiration you are Stephen
Expose yourself in this way means you're a genuine person and in my opinion a champion. Keep doing this videos, they help a lot!
Scully, you're human. We all face these struggles. Thanks for continuing to share with your community. It brings it down to earth how similar we ALL are....including Olympic marathoners.
Keep it up man big things coming !! You’re the goat 🐐
Feel sorry for you Stephen. I totally understand what you feel, I was there. You are so honest, and I have massive respect to you. There is no advice for you, just time mate. Head up, keep running, we are here and we need you!!! 💪
You’re perfectly normal my man! Emotions and vulnerability is essence of being human and I’ll always follow an athlete who’s a real person first! I’m confident that you’ll move from this even better and stronger! 👍
I respect your vulnerability to post this. I’ve only been watching your videos for a couple months and I get a lot of value from them. Keep your head up Steve. This too shall pass.
“I’m not the perfect athlete to follow, but then I give you advice that might help you if you’re not perfect”….PERFECT! We need vulnerable pro’s like you, thank you for sharing you’re REAL life. I’ve always enjoyed your content but today was about “running and life”. THANK YOU!
I've been beefing up my mantra card for my half on 10/1. My fave one so far is "drop your shoulders, drop your jaw, and shake out your hands. YOU GOT THIS!" , also, in close 2nd place is "Smile, this is FUN!". Try to remember that running is your happy place. Breakups suck, but they get easier.
Love this channel. Will be watching and cheering you on in Berlin!
It's good you show your emotions. As a Finn I've seen too many times that people just don't talk about things and stay quiet. You can beat emotional problems only through speaking not by being silent.
Look at all the comments Stephen - it’s very clear that we all love you man. You’re a huge inspiration to us all, we love you because you show the pure, honest raw emotion in your life. We connect with that shit. You wear your heart on your sleeve. We are all rooting for you. Keep grinding man. ❤
I was looking forward to meet you in Berlin but i tried to push through a pain for too long and eventually i just decided to pull out for my own health. You are such an inspiration for so many, stay strong buddy things will get better and you will get through it.
The way you showed your vulnerability to the public show me that you're not only a very strong person, but also a tough athlete.
You're gonna get through this "storm."
Thanks for inspiring me to run better every day, Stephen!!!
You say you're not the perfect athlete to follow but the not perfect part is what makes it all more realistic and relatable.
Keep doing what you're doing. Love your videos
I absolutely feel what you're going through, I lived this situation 3 years ago and I'm crying with you watching your video. Believe me you're going to be fine and happy, you must live those moments of sadness to turn the page after. I'm with you man ❤
I’m so sorry, I know it hurts. I know you feel like you might go insane. Just keep chipping away at your goals and make yourself HAPPY! Make yourself FIT, and take care of yourself. Time will heal it. I know everyone says this, it’s true. But it does suck. Get through it one day at a time and perfect your training to help keep your mind off it. Much love and appreciation of you and your channel and all the advice you give ❤️
Every man that can shad a tear especially in front of the camera to be that honest and to share his thoughts has my deepest respect. Heart will mend in time. Just keep your head up high. Remember that you’re healthy, your doing what you love so start to find motivation from there. Thank you for your videos
The honesty and raw emotion in this video is inspiring to see
Hugs!!! As you grieve, what could have been, as the challenges come, I'm sure you'll overcome, and your imperfections actually make us appreciate you even more.
Hugs from Trinidad 🇹🇹
youre such an inspiration to me. Not only from an athlete standpoint but also on a human and personal level. you will be better soon. Im rooting for you!
Endure this ! .. you will come out a Stronger man. I am impressed with your ability, intelligence, discipline in spite of the suffering.. and your incredible vulnerability and passion.I selected your posted video only because I too am a runner . Albeit only a Recreational runner but I still take marathon training as my competition within myself that I am drawn to. You have shown what really matters is your heart and soul. This time will pass .. STAY STRONG ..
Stay strong soldier! ..................There's a LOT of fans out there that you're helping with this channel so keep sharing!, it takes real guts!!, I'll be in Berlin, hopefully see you smash it! 👍🦾🏃❤ Focus on YOU....Great things will come.
Grieving is a very hard part of the human experience. It comes and goes as it wishes, but it is one we all share and respect when we see it. Thank you for sharing. Here’s to lighter days ahead. Much respect.
Tough video, thanks for sharing. Thanks for being a human and showing us that side. Hope the rest of the block goes well and Berlin will take care of itself.
All the best, Stephen! take your time, it sucks and at times may feel like endless agony. But you will feel better, sunshine is on the horizon. Keep up the good work! Greetings from The Netherlands
Stephen, you are the man. We are all cheering you in this journey to Berlin and then Paris 2024. Time heals everything, thank you for showing you the side of what really goes behind the scenes. Cheers mate!
So sorry to hear as I know that break ups are never easy! Know that you are loved and appreciated by many!
Good luck with Berlin preparations!! ❤️👍
Mate, you're a legend. Big love from Australia 🇦🇺
Sending you love Stephen. Been there and it’s hard. Focus on the day you’re in and the things you can control. Feel what you feel and keep moving forward. ❤
Love the vulnerability brother. We are real people, with real emotions. Training often makes us feel like we are machines just ticking over and getting things tracking. Running, training, working... Is NOT us. We are SO much more complex than the things we do. Don't let this season define you. You're more than that! Chin up. Focus on what you can control. Do the things that make you happy. Be you. Not what others WANT you to be. Much love
Also, we need people and community. Isolation is the worst thing for us especially when we are going through crap. Find people who feed you and energise you.
Thank you for being so vulnerable. As everyone as mentioned we are all so grateful for your honesty and commitment to being real and genuine. Use this as another callous.
It's fantastic that you opened up! The break up I'm sure is hard but time heals. More men in general need to be like this. I never open up about anything and I wish I did. This video is an inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Life can be sad, but there's always working on running to make it less sad.
You’re not alone. I’m going through a breakup myself and it sucks but brighter days are ahead. Running is my escape but also where I can channel some anger. Thanks for the vulnerability and the great tips.
Sir, from far away Brooklyn, New York we’re cheering you on! There’s a reason you’re my running hero. You’ll come through turbulence stronger.
Stephen,
You are honestly such a big inspiration to me and I’m sure many others out there would say the same. I see you as a running deity, although you may not be perfect your power to reflect and to share your knowledge and experiences is incredible. Break ups are horrible because it feels like you have nowhere to turn sometimes and it’s like something is missing inside of you. Such huge respect for being able to talk about your emotions like this. Keep pressing on, keep working on the little things. The rewards await tomorrow, most will give up this evening.
Thanks for being so open, you will overcome this one, be yourself, love yourself, you've got this 👊
This is the first time that I have ever commented on a channel, and I have been following your channel and others for the last 3-4 years. I wanted to reach out and thank you for your honesty and emotion in this video as I can fully relate to your sadness, as I have been where you are now. It was truly inspiring to see such a great athlete be a human being and not a machine and to show the rest of us that even though life is fucking tough sometimes, we are able to find and heal ourselves through running, Thanks Stephen and take care of yourself mate
I rarely comment on YT, but felt I could not after watching this. I hope your honesty helps you as much as helps others. I am running Berlin - it would be a pleasure to see you and to tell you that in person - stay strong, great things are to come
Here for the support Stephen. You're a weapon bro you'll be stronger out the other side
This man needs a hug! 🤗
Thank you for sharing
We will be cheering you on in Berlin
Stay resiliant
Very sorry that you have had such a tough time recently Stephen. I've been following you for this past 6 months or so and hugely admire your running talent and your honesty. You have worked so hard for Berlin and are so close to the race now. Stay strong.
Finally, we have a saying in this part of Ireland "What's for ya, won't pass ya".
You are such a talented runner Stephen. Go over to Berlin and run the best race of your life!
Stephen, thank you for being brave, and raw. It’s a real credit to you. I love your posts… warts and all! Keep being you. Let the lion roar!
Sorry to hear the news :( I hope it'll get better soon! There's happiness for you! And thanks for sending my backside back to the gym instead of feeling sorry for myself bc of my Achilles problem. Hugs from Budapest!
Saw the workout on your strava! You're gonna smash it in Berlin!!
Hang in there, dude. There's so many people inspired by your olympics journey and the work you are putting in for Berlin. By understanding your emotions and voicing the pain you are going through will help you get back on track for sure.
Stephen you are such beautiful, warm, kind and down to earth man. Universe will put someone in your path who is deserving of you and you will then know what happiness is to share your life with someone who loves you unconditionally! Please know that you are perfect exactly as you are!!! This sadness will pass. And you will know happiness again!! When you find someone right they will accept you exactly as you are!!! Sending you love and healing vibes xx 💫💛🙏💪
We love you brother, you’ll get back to it in no time, and even if know it doesn’t seem possible, everything happens for a reason, do what you can, don’t focus on what you were doing 4 weeks ago, focus on today. Sending much love your way❤
You're not alone Stephen. Regardless of whether other people have faced similar life challenges recently, I'm sure we're all pulling for you. Your calm demeanor, honesty and excellent tips are a joy to watch. I also had a tough break up which has affected me emotionally this year and sometimes it feels like the only thing keeping it all together is running. I will also be at Berlin hoping to come in a little slower than you at 3:10 ;) You've got this my man!
You are a big inspiration mate! Keep up the good work!
so hard to imagine now but sometimes these losses are sparing you something that wasn’t going to be good down the road so cherish yourself and however you deal with this is just fine
Stephen I have been watching all your vids since you started doing these regularly. I am 9 weeks out from my first marathon and I would have never gotten to where I am without your help. The amount of valuable knowledge and insight you have share is incredible. I’ve no doubt you have helped every single person who watches your videos and you should be very proud. Keep the head up man!! Sometimes life give s it to us on the chin.
Thank you for your honesty, sincerity, vulnerability and transparency... it's super refreshing to see on social media. I am sorry you have been through a rough time and I hope things continue to improve for you. You are an inspiration to watch and I am so grateful you share your knowledge and experience with us on this platform. You had to be "in it", you definitely need time to grieve and process (and that may come in waves) but it's good to see your resilience coming through. As I said, just very honest and refreshing. Take care and be kind to yourself X
Good to have you back ❤
Keep the head up high Stephen, you're an inspiration to us all, whatever happens in Berlin you're still a champion. From a fellow Norn Iron runner, stay strong 💪
I rarely comment on any video. But got to thank you for this, Stephen. It is much more relatable and inspirational to watch great athletes who are just like us and struggle with life just as we do. Keep it going! Your preaching about fighting, struggling, and working hard would do no good, if you did not show that you yourself fight, struggle, and work hard in the first place. Thanks.
You're authentic, you're inspiring me!
Thank you for posting this video as life really is. All of us are dealing with pressure and grief of life. For us that strength train and run it can be especially hard on mind and body as the fall out really impacts our bodies. My wife and I split 2 years ago after almost 30 years,nobody did anything wrong but I decided it was for the best. Two years later I'm still not over my decision. Been in hospital twice for blood pressure and so on. Do not keep it inside cry your eyes out if you need to or you may end up like I did. If you have friends go see them talk laugh if you can. Hepls a lot. Thank you again for the video just the way you did it. We've got your back like you have had ours. Take care
Finally a video after such a long wait !!!
Hang in there! Inspirational, both the happy and sad. Thank you and good luck. Onward and upward!
Very raw Stephen. Well done on being so honest. My wife of 13 years left last year- really tough time. I’m 51 and running got me through it and continues to get me through it. You’re videos have been so helpful to me during all this. Keep the head up. Life moves in mysterious ways and you can be sure something brilliant is coming your way.
You’re a total fucking legend Stephen… you are totally aware of it all… thank you for being vulnerable as fuck… you’re helping so many people with your honest approach to life… your community is 1000% behind you… be gentle on yourself, let it take the time in needs… take care mate!
Dont let something that wasn't meant to be ruin your Olympic dreams, you will regreat that for life. The perfect partner for you will come along when you least expect it. Love your channel as Im in a running slump and I have an Ultra coming up next month and it gives me the extra boost I need!
Hang in there Stephen! You're a really good athlete and person from what I can tell. Keep pushing and thank you so much for all the inspiration and insights.
When you have the right person, everything will be more smooth. Hope you heal fast !!! You got lots of fans to support you. Chin up ❤️
