MARATHON TRAINING - A LONG TOUGH 19 Mile Road Workout

[@Acewhip]

When you write all your pace notes on your hands, and then put on gloves.... :D (love these videos Phily!)

[@PhilyBowden]

Hahaha the accuracy 😂

[@jsphcle]

Thanks for the miles to Ks conversion, I personally find Ks easier. Great content btw 🙂

[@EricS-uf9mv]

I'm watching your YT channel front-to-back! FYI, @3:18 u can dramatically speed up Garmin GPS satellite lock by opening Garmin Connect & syncing your watch no more than a few hours before your run. This updates the GPS satellite almanac data cached on the watch which speeds up GPS acquisition.

[@TomFolanFS]

Phily this is so bloody good!! You’re so natural in front of camera and the session itself wasn’t half bad either. Great insight, made running 19 miles sound fun and appealing and super honest!! Some seriously vigorous zipping up of your back pack at 5:20 though, maybe go a bit easier on that front in the future. Excited to follow the rest of your marathon build, keep the videos coming!!

[@PhilyBowden]

Haha Tom I had to go back to 5:20 to see what you were referring to… I’ll treat my bag with more respect in the future 😬 and thank you, too kind 🤗

[@pianosign]

i really love the music choices in this vid!!! also always here for more cat content

[@racheld1844]

Great video - thanks 👍 You were flying on that session. I’m the same after a race, my stomach shuts down and it’s normally the evening or the day after where the better refuelling takes place 😀

[@PhilyBowden]

Thanks Rachel! Glad it’s not just me, the hunger definitely kicks in with a bang after a delay though!

[@JoseNeto-ke8wz]

you are my favorite runner!! i love your atitude!!

[@DevRunner]

It's so inspiring to watch you moving so quickly! This is great motivation to keep pushing and stay focused as I head into my marathon taper. I always prefer some whey protein and spirulina blended with almond milk after a hard workout... I get the fuel I need without the stomach upset! Keep pushing!

[@PhilyBowden]

Thank you so much, that also motivates me! Top notch on the smoothie as well, you know how to do it!

[@donalddarko3676]

Be great to see more of your training days with a bit of a day in the life style. Talking about how you feel your training is going etc.

[@PhilyBowden]

Great shout Donald, will definitely do this soon!

[@cliffwright1970]

Blummin ‘eck! That smoothie looks foul 🤣 Interesting to see tho as whilst I no way compare to your standard of running, I just can’t eat after a longer run (for me that’s 12k plus) and often struggle to fuel before too: anything an hour before or less just repeats on me during the run. Having followed your Vlogs more recently and skipped back to watch this one, it’s amazing to see how your Vlogs have matured and become ‘slicker’ in such a short space of time - good work 👍

[@christinaclementson2685]

Just started watching your videos after That Running Guy made reference to you in his latest video. You are a phenomenal runner - making 5:45 pace look like you’re cruising along 😳😳 Excited to see how you get on in Seville. I’m currently training for Boston in April and feel 😴😴 Good luck 😊😊

[@PhilyBowden]

Thank you Christina I really appreciate it 🥰 this part of your block is always the toughest, stick with it - Boston is on my bucket list too! 😍

[@christinaclementson2685]

@@PhilyBowden I know!! Really hard! I should be used to it by now - Boston is marathon number 11 🥵 Boston has been my goal for a while, finally a reality. I am beyond excited!! 😊😊

[@PhilyBowden]

@@christinaclementson2685 I don’t think you ever get used to the pain cave of any kind of training really, just keep showing up and you’ll get there! Ah so exciting, enjoy it!!

[@tonyd7009]

Loving the videos, you’re a natural in front of the camera 👍

[@PhilyBowden]

Thanks Tony 🤩

[@eztltd]

Top video! Love the idea of the drinks for cals post-session. Definitely going to give this a try.

[@PhilyBowden]

It’s a good second option until you feel like you can stomach food!

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

I've been miles all my life, but changed to Km's last summer, to see what all the fuss was about! Good job with the session Phily 🏃👍

[@PhilyBowden]

Interesting! I think I was Kms maybe for a year or two when I got my first Garmin. Are you Kms>miles now? 👀

[@andrewclarkeinfo]

Fair play!! Good stuff (loved the last second 😂). Keep up the great content; thanks for sharing your journey!

[@PhilyBowden]

Thank you, aha have to keep an outtake in there 😂

[@Npgilly1976]

Great video again you are a Natural 👍and soo fast , I see you bombing down alongside the a33 last week I think and thought I recognise that runner 😂

[@PhilyBowden]

Aw thank you Nick! Haha yes that will have been me 😂

[@flwi]

Interesting to see what the pros do to endure that intense training. Keep it up! 💪

[@PhilyBowden]

Although not technically a pro- I don’t get to call myself that yet as I don’t get paid to do this… hopefully one day!

[@flwi]

Oh, I didn't know that. I suspected you are a pro because you got all the UK team clothing. Good luck on reaching your goals!

[@brianpaxton1785]

Good speed workout you make it look so easy well done 👍

[@PhilyBowden]

Ah thank you! Definitely not easy don’t worry 😅

[@christopher5070]

Awesome video! I replicated the smoothie sans spirulina and it was so delicious. I find it hard to eat after any kind of long run/hard session too. Keep up the great videos. 😊

[@PhilyBowden]

Love this! Someone else asked me for the recipe but I honestly make it up as I go 😂 (Spirulina doesn’t take great anyway so yours was probably nicer!)

Nice one Phily

[@PhilyBowden]

Thanks Anna, will have to get you on for a vid when you’re back flying!

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Great 2nd video. I’m with you…miles definitely over km👍

[@PhilyBowden]

I can’t deal with the maths of even giving Ks a chance haha

[@emmadolby8987]

Crazy how many drinks you have post run!!!!

[@PhilyBowden]

Haha yes I’m usually a bit bloated afterwards but hydration is key 🔑

[@MikeOnslow]

Hydration is something I fail at massively when it comes to running and something I REALLY need to improve on, but I'm not sure I could stomach 50 litres of liquid afterwards like you did haha 😂

[@PhilyBowden]

Little and often is probably the best approach I’d say, the bloating is very really after ~50 litres 😂

[@laurencharltonn]

If you programme it into your watch in km it will automatically show in miles when you are running - I work the other way round and when I have mile reps it just shows as 1.61km x

[@PhilyBowden]

I’ve tried putting workouts on my watch before but always get worried I won’t hear the beep and just keep going 😂

[@마르모따]

Great video! I’d love to hear more about you being a female athlete. I’m running my first half marathon in May and looks likes it’s going to be during my period…! How do you prepare yourself and your body for a big run? 💪🏼

[@PhilyBowden]

Thank you! Such an important topic and I’m a firm believer that a healthy menstrual cycle is key to a long career in running. I personally tend to feel worse the week before my period but it’s different for everyone. There’s a great app called Fitrwoman which tracks your cycle and gives you physiological recommendations at different times in your cycle based in sports science, around nutrition, types of training and how you can work with your cycle to train better! I could definitely do a video on this if there’s interest and good luck for your HM!

[@마르모따]

@@PhilyBowden thanks for the recommendation! It would be great if you could do a video about it one day :)

[@avinashbhogun]

Think you need one more drink :D

[@Luke_Heather]

I thought I was the only one who couldn't stomach food after running. I've just had some kind of milk & banana, porridge combo afterwards

[@PhilyBowden]

Absolute staple, I’ve had porridge twice already today 😂

[@ajs7104]

Do you run these continuously?

[@robbristle5642]

Whoa that is WAY too many ingredients. My stomach would be in knots. ENJOY. 😀😬

[@PhilyBowden]

Haha, can never have too many! (I’m incapable of following a recipe 😋)

[@ivanjeremija9180]

Everything was great except for 100euro worth of shake!🤦‍♂️

[@michaelpapp7371]

I'm sorry to say but I hate people talking in miles, sssooooo annoying. In Aussie we do KMs, so easy

[@PhilyBowden]

But whyyyyyy? What makes it easier I’ve got to know (I may be convinced) 😂
