I Asked A

Please like & subscribe if you enjoyed this video!
When I asked who YOU guys would like to see on my channel, the most popular answer was Phily Bowden, and I can see why! Not only is she an incredible marathon runner (2:29!!), she is great at sharing her knowledge and wisdom as a runner, former full time worker, social media influencer and running coach.
I asked her all the questions you guys sent, and plenty of my own. I hope you enjoy this!

Phily is great. I’ve absolutely loved her channel since day 1. Harry Morgan introduced us to Phily back in the day ❤ Great interview

[@Tonyr2]

Love Philly too and had the great pleasure of meeting her, and Daniel of course, last year at the Night of 10,000 Pb's. She was a delight as you may guess she would be. Love Flora too of course. 💚

[@KenParsonswasp]

What a pleasure, my two ABSOLUTE favourite runners and KZbinrs on one video, Fab Flora and Perpetual Pile Phily. This vid is an absolute keep. To Phily's point, my very first event was a 10k and my objectives, bearing in mind that I only started running at age 45, was (a) finish the race - never run 10k before, ever - and (b) to do so in under an hour. I finished in 59:57! I was knackered but I was on such a high I sang all the way home and that was forever my best running memory topping by far my first marathon which was the Peninsular Marathon in beautiful Capetown in 1989. Thanks Flora and Phily for this wonderful collaboration. Love from Johannesburg.

[@rachelshirley8403]

Two of my British FAVES! Be so cool to see PhilyB racing Golden Trail Series! Well done on first interview Flora - You are a natural!!

[@IainThacker]

Flora & Phily (aka coach) on the same vid? What a treat. I hope you tried to convince Phily that trails aren't the root of all evil!

[@Jazmin_Ortega]

This is the running mash-up I didn't know I needed. Legend!

[@S.F.Martin100]

Flora”Jesus Christ”… 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣!! Thank you have a really good laugh!! It would be cool to see you guys out for a run and talk…🎉😄

[@_Mountain_Dave]

Great interview Flora really enjoyed this one, esp the setting and low key chat in the park style. Super interesting and sub 230 is just a different level. I thought that point Phily raised was so pertinent about having a very supportive partner and people around you, important for achieving anything in life where you have to push hard. Yea great interview.

[@davidjuson5608]

Enjoyable. Being a bloke of a certain age (too old) I'm not sure I learned much I can use, but I do follow both your channels and invariably do find them valuable for running advice. Keep up the great work.

[@Kelly_Ben]

Fantastic interview! I loved the parts about surrounding yourself with supportive people, and about having it all, but not at once. I’ve broken that down so that I can try… I have so many irons in the fire, and work 60+ hours a week, along with training for my first 100k. I prioritize something different each day, so nothing gets neglected. Running is my absolute priority 3 days a week, my husband/home 2 days, and my business 2 days. On their off days, they all get “basic maintenance”. I won’t ever be the best at anything, but I get to have it all, without (too much) guilt over neglecting important things. I hope Phily does cross over into trail eventually! Long Ultras are the sport where women can truly compete on equal footing and win. We could use more super fast, super cool women representing out on the trail! Looking forward to more interviews, you really are a natural!

[@mikestevenson1334]

Amazing interview! So great to see Phily on the channel. "100 miles? JC! :O!" haha made me laugh.

[@Manuel-901]

Interesting interview. Thanks Flora and Phily Bowden. !!!! The spring is coming!!!!!. Like from Spain 🇪🇸. A nice week for everyone.

[@geoffh2560]

what a treat - love Phily!

[@IRunThings]

Super excited for this as I am a fan of both of you!!

[@FloraBeverley]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@elinaq750]

This was amazing ❤🎉 thanks!!

[@iled6319]

Insightful interview. Much respect and admiration from Hong Kong.

[@brianpaxton1785]

Flora & Phily great good interview and chat 👍

[@danmorton5713]

Great interview.

[@debbieglen2800]

Love the interview absolutely love philly xx

[@pierre-yvesdantec3802]

Really great vidéo. Thank you both👍

[@tomdosdos7179]

Thank you for sharing Phily with your subscribers. It’s a well executed interview. Well curated questions. You’ve made Phily relatable to us mere mortals. It’s nice to find someone else who shares the same healthy obsession with chocolate milk. That’s me. Morning, noon, and night.

[@Adamnealvelez]

Two of the best! As a growing amateur runner and as the father of a young daughter entering athletics, you covered a lot of content near and dear to me. I’m grateful for you both and appreciate all you do and all you are!

[@paulwilliams2814]

Great point! My daughters aren’t runners but these two women are brilliant examples for women AND men

[@FloraBeverley]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the interview & good luck to your daughter!

[@Adamnealvelez]

@@FloraBeverley thanks! She’s only five and just loving life right now. Every day when I pick her up she asks to race home! It’s a fun adventure! (I document many on Strava)

[@gerlewis]

Great interview. Really engaging 👍

[@Nayz13]

Two of my favourite ladies!

[@paulwilliams2814]

This is a superb interview/discussion. The thought, the candour, the mutual respect was just so present. TV is unable to match this for expertise and depth. Thank you Flora and Philly. I respect and appreciate this first class content, you both inspire me!

[@FloraBeverley]

Thank you so much for this!! Really sweet & thoughtful comment 🥰

[@teadoss8853]

Aw, two of my favorites getting together, I love it!!!!

[@Tonyr2]

Mine too. So many comments on this page saying the same thing. Love when 2 of my channel presenters crossover. Started watching Philly near the very start of her youtube-ing and Flora during lock-down. Both are sooo entertaining.

[@ArnaudAnna]

Two of my favorites running content creators all at once

[@FloraBeverley]

Ahhhh it's such a great book!! Hope you love it

[@emmalindsey9065]

so motivating

[@haggy87]

early crew coming in

[@pwnie404]

Wow so cool, can't believe you did a video together, yours and Phily's are two of my favorite running channels :)

[@Woodster451]

Phily is Broski Nation!

[@PaulCoxC]

Really enjoyed this and I'm not even a runner :)

[@jaseinclee]

Been subscribed to Philly's Channel for a long time. 2 of my favourite KZbinrs/runners in the same place

[@franciswinrow8348]

Finally got to watch it due to council meeting and family wedding and my mri

[@robmedcroft5328]

Love both these girls & subscribe to there channels which both have fantastic content that's from a older ex runner. Philly obviously a professional with amazing times, Flora equally committed to her trail running. I would have to call it a draw between Philly & Flora who talks the most, Ha Ha just joking.

[@dianagrahl8024]

I absolutely loved this video. Can you both please start a podcast together!? ❤

[@FloraBeverley]

Hahah that would involve a lot of travel 😅

[@iberiksoderblom]

Double good 🙂 !!!

[@zarnyk6]

Phily Phuel (chocolate milk 🐄) would be a hit!

[@roibee1776]

You mentioned getting enough sleep, about how much sleep do you try to get? I am older (66) and worked shift work before I retired so I struggle to get 5 or 6 hours a night. Just started running two months ago and I don’t think it has affected me but always looking for improvement.Thanks!

[@runfilmsleep]

I thought Philly's favourite post run snack was pain au chocolate.

[@iberiksoderblom]

Chocophily

[@saraadams6447]

😂

[@cstew8355]

Flora ❤️😚.. you are beautiful

[@rahantr1]

What did you do to Philly? Why is she acting as if she's meeting Daniel's parents for the first time?

[@AlbertWeijers]

I don't see anything different about her and I've watched every video of her and also Daniel's.

[@rahantr1]

@@AlbertWeijers of course you don't.

[@AlbertWeijers]

@@rahantr1 What do you mean.

[@rahantr1]

​@@AlbertWeijers It means that I'm dismissing your opinion based on your observations, just like you did to mine.

[@worldreformmedia6593]

philly shouldn't condemn mother cows to torture and death by supporting dairy, when chocolate almond milk tastes good. no idea how she justifies it.

[@AugherAndy]

Wise up

[@worldreformmedia6593]

@@AugherAndy I did, that's why I won't contribute to the suffering and death of cows for a tasty drink, now it's your turn to wise up, your ignorance isn't a bliss for the cows.

[@worldreformmedia6593]

she should... she's smart, but many are ignorant of the suffering.

[@Kelly_Ben]

Almond milk is actually terrible for the planet. It takes hundreds of gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of almond milk. Best not to toss stones around in a glass house. (And try oat milk, it’s much more ecologically friendly.) 😊

[@AugherAndy]

@@worldreformmedia6593 I was vegan for 7 years. And I have eaten mest and dairy lately and feel sm better. Everyone is different. Though I only get from butchers more expensive but better handled
