Hi Flora, I did the Green Man on Saturday, my first Ultra as well! Bloody hell it was muddy and painful! Took over 11 hours and still recovering!

[@FloraBeverley]

That's incredible, huge congrats!! Well done you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jeremyvangheem2523]

Your love/hate relationship with running make me feel better about my love/hate relationship with running 😂😂😂

[@FloraBeverley]

Hahaha it's pretty common i think 😂

[@MsJay1282]

OMGosh I spat my coffee out…”my running obsession with coke…cola cola, not the white stuff”. I was not expecting that comment at all…dead. Love the vids, great inspiration as I’m training for my first marathon this year.

[@FloraBeverley]

😂😂😂 just had to clarify

[@manuel_877]

Hi Flora and all the runners. Excellent video, excellent ultra race. Here my like. I ran the marathon Madrid 2021. A nice week for everyone.

[@eringoodreau5778]

I agree! Coca Cola is literally the best for runs 🥰

[@JackBrady]

Hey Flora :), congrats you did so well and to do a marathon pb during a trail ultra is pretty mind blowing to me! Really sorry about the pain from running on the roads, though great to hear how well recovery was going since. Amazing views in the sunshine 😊🤗

[@FloraBeverley]

Thanks so much Jack! The real test will get getting back to training next week 💪

[@2spoons]

PS Flora... I love the comment 'I'm properly hungry'..... thats me every day.... but may be you should do a post on where the best choice of food is after a race - I ran the London Marathon and got a massive Scampi and Chip yummy!!!! What's you your favourite ??

[@FloraBeverley]

Hahah I was SO hungry. After this we had to drive home so I had 2 packs of salt and vinegar crisps before a vegan cheese and tomatoe toastie. Then dinner 😅

[@Yannerson]

Hi Flora, I came up and said hello at the start! You certainly hid any nerves very well, great time and congrats on the podium! My first ultra, concur with lots you say about the course, quite flat, quite a bit of road and loads of the off-road sections were liquid mud for those of us plodding around at the back!

[@FloraBeverley]

It was great to meet you! :) yes the watery mud was horrible haha, quite the experience! Hope you enjoyed the run nonetheless 🤗

[@aislinnmacleod]

Well done Flora! I just love these running videos. I have so much to thank you for as you’ve got me back out running again the last few months and it’s just done wonders for me 🙂x

[@simplydad2015]

Great stuff. Only found your channel recently. I cannot stand road running as well 😂

[@FloraBeverley]

Welcome to the channel! Glad its not just me 😂

[@HikerWantsToBattle]

Great job Flora, fantastic time! Do you have any info on the training plan you use for leading up to 50/100k races?

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you! For this i followed my training programme for MCC with a few adjustments. I sorta just made it up 🙈 but there are loads online 🤗

[@helenlebel6948]

Well done! What is the name of those "gel chewy things" you were eating on the run? They look yummy, and I like the idea of a bio-degradeable wrapper. Thanks!!!

[@FloraBeverley]

They're Lucho Dillitos and yeah they're great! 🙌🏼

[@alyssacascos8665]

Amazing job Flora!!! You are so inspiring! ❤️🏃‍♀️

[@dannygrays]

A wonderful Vlog again. Well done on the 3rd place. Your commentary is always so positive and at times very funny. Am hoping to do the 50k distance real soon. Thank you for documenting!

[@lisaberg9241]

Well done Flora!! Looks like it was a lot of fun. Love the awesome glasses you were wearing...what brand/style are they? Cheers from Vancouver Canada

[@FloraBeverley]

Thanks, it was great! They're Sungod Airias! So great 👍

[@timeonfeet]

Great stuff Flora. Well done on this, looked like a super race. Congrats to everyone who took part!

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@phoebeandkaylee7927]

Brilliant well done some buzz at finish line of any race but further distance is the buzz and relief together is unreal.

[@jungtao]

Oh no not the old shoes again?!? Lol well at least they are comfy and y are used to them. Maybe try the Saucony peregrine 12? Nice grip and lighter than previous model.

[@FloraBeverley]

Haha i'll check them out, thanks!

[@gwilymeades]

I have such a tangible sense of excitement watching you start this race it's almost like I'm running it myself, and the images are so clear too, looks like a great race, and thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, as always it's a real treat! I like the head-kit as well, where can I get one of those blue compression bands?

[@Kelly_Ben]

Congratulations!! I LOVE coke during ultras, and really dislike road running too... but that countryside was gorgeous! And it's nice you were able to hook up with some cool guys to keep you company. The social aspect really helps the miles pass! I can't wait to see how you do in your next race, with even more training and hills, and less roads! I've got my Dr's ok to run without limitations now, after a heart attack scare, so I have a lot of training to do before my small mountain 50k in April!

[@FloraBeverley]

So sorry to hear about the heart attack scare, sounds concerning but great that you can run again 🙌🏼 yeah having company was a godsend! Lovely people too

[@davidbreen7466]

I remember doing the cross country at Blaise Castle a few years ago.

[@emmabulmer32]

Amazing well done on your marathon PB and awesome work on 3rd Lady. Hope your knees forgive. Loved watching. ❤️

[@vviolet934]

Running vicariously through you…. watching this as I cycle because my tendon has decided to be angry with me

[@FloraBeverley]

Get better soon!

[@manueljuarez5070]

It’s like I feel your pain!! I do love your passion for running. Running is my passion too!

[@Aa-zh5ic]

Hi Flora looks like an amazing race do you think you can get away with running the race in road shoes since a lot of it looks like it’s on road and none technical trails

[@ludovicpiejos4379]

Awesome video and great journey. Really inspirational for my first 50k. Great job.

[@davidbreen7466]

Great effort love the videos, watching you inspires me to try a long runs but need to build up to it gradually. Keep them coming great watch.

[@Snuzzcumber]

Nice video of the day and well done on 3rd lady. I was the guy right at the start in the blue top with red bag. If you're doing it again next year I'll be there to defend the title!

[@kateparkhouse5456]

Watching this on international women's day and feeling very inspired 💖

[@FloraBeverley]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Happy IWD!!

[@jaycoane6127]

Brilliant and podium place as well! All done with that great smile and positivity. Thanks for taking us along!

[@lkoggy19]

Fantastic video. You looked so happy during this vlog. Fab run 🏃‍♀️

[@dansouth2088]

Great job! Yes flats suck. Keep on keeping on the trails!

[@christinahowland6101]

Great work Flora 🙌👏👏👏👊

[@jungtao]

U and Anna are the queens of ultras!

[@rachelmorris9272]

Great run - well done! That's a looot of road 🙄 I'd be dead x

[@donatina1987]

Thank you for taking us with you, lovely really.

[@yakiweiss546]

Well done!! Nice video makes you want to go for a run .

[@blipdriver]

The GMU30 in that direction is so runable. I hope you are looking forward to the GMU30 in the summer - it's in the opposite direction so you get to do the Keynsham-Chew Valley-Dundry section on tired legs. It's a beast. Or perhaps the full GMU45?

[@FloraBeverley]

Tbh I thrive more the less runnable a course is. Would have loooooved to do the Keynsham- chew-dundry section too, it's where I do a lot of my long run and so gorgeous 😍

[@MrMckechnie8]

Well done, and congrats on the M pb, Had my fingers crossed for the IT band, rest and recover well and give some extra love to the IT band, I've never thought about doing trail running until now, so many great places in bristol

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you! I'm giving it some time off to recover and then back to it next week 🤗 oh yeah there are some great places to trail run around here!

[@MrMckechnie8]

@@FloraBeverley watched your maes knoll run, I didn't know it existed and I live 2 mins from there, going to give it a try soon 👍 keep up the good work

[@Robbie..67]

That’s one crazy course! Well done Flora ⭐️

[@what_it_is]

Awesome footage, subscribed, well done, do every race just like this camera wise, gratz!

[@FloraBeverley]

Thanks for the sub! I've got loads of races recorded over the last few years if you scroll back 🤗

[@2spoons]

Great work Flora hope your legs are ok.. ..... but its about time I ran another few, have your tried 'tailwind' as a fuel ??

[@FloraBeverley]

I've not but I've only heart good things! Well worth a shot 🙌🏼

[@debbieglen2800]

Well done little pocket rocket 🚀 👏 👍

[@danfrdr]

I also did the Green Man last weekend, really fun route for my first ultra! And that was me just after the Keynsham checkpoint with the little dog! 🐩

[@FloraBeverley]

Congrats, hope you had fun! 🤗

[@mikew6840]

…or are you a random person?… 😂😂

[@andyisaacs4554]

That was awesome Flora ...many congrats and nice to see my own stomping ground of Blaise ....many congrats 👏 👏

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you! Ahhh it's so gorgeous there, I need to go more often 😍

[@evian8176]

Your videos are great, through your trail running videos I went from being a "road jogger" to an enthusiastic trail runner! Great work Flora :) Greetings from Zurich

[@FloraBeverley]

Aw amazing! Happy to hear it 🤗

[@maricelagarcia8008]

Way to go! You are awesome!! So cool 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ldburn]

Well done on the 20 second PB :) Well done on the entire thing to be honest :p You had a glorious day for it! Whilst you were having fun running in the sunshine I was on a hardcore painting day at my partner's house :'D Not quite as fun as playing outside :p

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you so much! Haha I've done the painting days too - another form of endurance event! 😆

[@georginaoquinn]

Glad I could see some of where you ran my brother did the green man ultra 45miles. He ran part of it with you! The guy in the alder hey top!! X

[@FloraBeverley]

Oh that's awesome! It was a godsend to have company so thanks to him and everyone else who ran with me!

[@radrunning8535]

Hey! You're doing amazing!

[@eddiegaul1903]

Well done Flora. Thanks for taking us along and congrats on the 3rd place overall. Quite an accomplishment.

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you so much!

[@Dinckelburg]

Glad I wasn't the only one who ran off a bit too fast. Weren't people just so lovely on the way round?

[@FloraBeverley]

Sooooo lovely!

Loved this video! Well done Flora! 🌟

Good effort Flora, good time to boot.

Bien joué. Trop forte Flora ❤️💪

It was great watching you struggle at the end. keep the camera rolling!

[@FloraBeverley]

Hahah thanks? 🙈

[@wilsonpotosirunner]

Espectacular

[@hunterengland]

Fantastic Effort! Well done! Brought back so many memories of my time!!

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you!! 🤗 ahh fun!

[@fatrunner]

Well done Flora, looks like a lovely route.

[@emmasteen869]

Smashed it 🙌🏻

[@Asdos.]

Subbed! Gotta say, watched a couple of your videos recently and they are a great watch! Expected something entirely different but this is great. Keep running and enjoying life. Great effort on the ultra!

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you and welcome to the channel! I'm intrigued to know what you expected of the channel 😆

[@Asdos.]

@@FloraBeverley Lets just say that i was worried i ended up on a ‘standard’ influencer / instagram channel the first time this got recommended in my feed ;) Tomorrow I’m going for a 25k trail myself. Happy trailling

[@CotswoldTrailRunner]

Great effort, well done! I was so close to doing this one but couldn't fit it in. Still on the 'to do' list. Do you know the overall elevation you gained? Rest well.

[@FloraBeverley]

Oh fab! Will you do the full 45? My watch said 651m so barely anything! Thank you 🤗

[@CotswoldTrailRunner]

@@FloraBeverley Yes I'd like to do the full 45mile. I reckon a lot of the places you went through, like Blaise. Thanks for the elevation. Fairly flat then. The amount of road concerns me. I hate road! Well done for 3rd place 👍

[@SamHarrison2099]

This is my bucket list race! Planning to do both the 45 milers in 2023.

[@FloraBeverley]

Amaaaazing that'll be tough but great!! Have fun xx

[@Dinckelburg]

I don't see your name on the starters list Sam, hope everything is ok

[@adamwoods3092]

Looks like a great race. I started running only in January and already getting bored of Midsomer Norton so I’m looking at new routes. This video will show some inspiration 😊 I be watching more of your content 👍

[@Nayz13]

We’ll done!

[@LaurensLibrary]

Amazing Flora! I've got my first race this Sunday after injury (just a 5k) which I'm hoping goes okay (I plan to come in last place by running as slow as possible). This looks like a great race!

[@FloraBeverley]

So exciting, I hope you have a great time!

[@blipdriver]

Deliberate slow racing is great, but also really difficult! Take care and look after yourself!

[@LaurensLibrary]

@@blipdriver I'm already slow so I should be good!

[@grahamdful]

Well done on the race mate, what ear buds are you using and are they any good, need to update mine

[@FloraBeverley]

Cheers! They're a pair from Sony, SP800n or something catchy like that 😅

@@FloraBeverley ta mate, I'll have a wee look on Google, always struggle with running earphones

[@AugherAndy]

I need ultra recommendations!

[@trailrunningphil]

Well done for getting it done! It didn’t seem you had an enjoyable day ? Must have been tough with no route markers..a bit disconcerting!

[@FloraBeverley]

Oh I did love it! But it wasn't my best run (even if it was my fastest 😅) - partly due to the course and partly due to my lack of navigational skills. But they can't all be my best run ever - I still had a great time 🤗

[@donatina1987]

Ps. Little advice in m,y opinion, keep music not too loud, like at around 11.00 minute is fine before it was too loud din my opinion 😊😊😊❤️

[@matthewbarks2015]

Well done Flora!! One thing I’d struggle with concerning Ultras is the running/walking. I really struggle to start running again after having to walk when my legs are tired but anyway….nice one🙂

[@FloraBeverley]

This is something I practise on most of my long runs- walk the steeper hills and then get running again once at the top. It gets easier with practise :) thank you!

[@AugherAndy]

What's your marathon pb? Would you sah you're faster in shorter things

[@FloraBeverley]

I showed it in this vlog - 4h27.40! And no, I'm definitely better at ultras. Love a good 5k though.

[@AugherAndy]

@@FloraBeverley you're a machine at 5ks!!!

[@paxundpeace9970]

@@FloraBeverley Your sub 20 5K was a great. it takes an extra amount of effort and dedication to run such fast times.

[@FloraBeverley]

@@paxundpeace9970 yes it was far harder work than the 50ks!
