I Came Tenth At One Of The FASTEST Half Marathons In Europe

[@hippygeeza]

Have you guys ever considered renting Daniel out as a cheer captain for other runners..I could definitely do with some of that energy at my races!!

[@jamstar876]

SERIOUSLY! I absolutely love how hard Daniel cheers for Phily! He sounds absolutely FERAL when he’s going for it!!! 😂

[@Sallyannsworld]

⁠@@jamstar876second both these comments 😅

[@AnaGdeS]

I just need a full chest "GO ANAAAAA" towards km 35 please. Thank you, Daniel.

[@jamstar876]

@@AnaGdeSI think what we all *really need* is a montage / compilation video of all Dan’s cheering 😂. I’d download it and play it on my tempo runs!

[@phillipgrigg5138]

As a Phil I find him cheering Philly very Inspiring 😅

[@MichielRey]

Most athletes left Berlin with a time about 1-2 minutes off their PB due to the hot and humid conditions. So to break yours is absolutely massive and it means there’s much more to come!

[@thomsmith3588]

Daniel’s cheering brings a tear to my eyes every time. He’s just so invested in you, awesome!

[@cristianmmuresan]

Just discovered that you actually added me in the video! 2:37 ❤️ Thanks a lot, it was a pleasure to bump into you, gave me lots of energy and pushed hard to make that sub '1:50' happen! You're so frickin' amazing! Keep up the amazing work that you're doing! 💪

[@kostaskampakis8913]

This looked quick. In all the footage, you look like you are absolutely FLYING!!!

[@el_carbonara]

love daniel's cheering, I was doing the same from my computer, great on course footage.

[@annestrock4917]

Apart from your amazing running, this is a masterful story telling of the journey! Daniels filming and editing really captures the experience and allows us to go on the journey with you!

[@MZ-bm5fp]

Gosh the Race montage with all the people cheering for you made me tear up! I get now what you mentioned in your Story!

[@thehoovesthatmoves]

We always love hearing Daniel’s enthusiasm and support for you.

[@tomascanevaro4292]

Congrats on being the fastest Bowden ever!

[@antoniocasablancasvilanova2207]

Enjoying your journey; motivating and entertaining!!! Great sense of humor, excellent editing. On should officially sponsor you!!

[@cbitter7159]

the filming during the race itself

[@kimdecker8901]

It goes without saying that Phily rocked it in the half (and her post-race breakdown has so much to teach us other runners). But as for Daniel, not only did he also do a bang-up job of cheering; this may be one of the best, most sophisticated pieces of short filmmaking I've yet seen from him. Well done to both of you! (Oh, and here I see in my KZbin feed that he's got his own behind-the-scenes video; gonna go check that out now!)

[@AlbertineVoncken]

Here is some medical advice (I'm a Dutch GP): if there is fluid underneath the nail you can use a red hot needle or paperclip (my personal preference). It melts through the nail causing instant relief and because it's hot it's sterile. Just put it in the gas flame from the kitchen stove (that works better than a flame from a lighter).

[@linab.6586]

Liebe den Trott ;-) Liebe die Schinderei ... something like that. Congrat Phily !!

[@A-betterMe]

Google translate says both mean Love the Grind 😊 👍

[@edithgruber2125]

Thanks, I'm German and I was wondering how I would translate the grind. Both are great options.

[@linab.6586]

@@edithgruber2125 thank you ! I'm German too ;-)

[@Antonnick]

i would prefer : "Den Arbeitsschmerz ( oder evtl Laufschmerz?) zuliebe." Was hält Ihr davon?

[@mikestevenson1334]

Amazing performance, Phily! PB!!! Always love the passion in Daniel's cheers :D Many congrats - LOVE THE GRIND =D !

[@millieCD]

Hi Philly! I started watching your channel last year before I did the London Marathon for the first time. I even listened to a video on my way round. I have a 2024 deferred place and am doing LM25 and I now religiously watch, I feel like I've learnt so much from you in a relatable way. I love your videos ❤

[@sophiesattler2482]

Loved to see myself cheering for you in the KRAFT Runners Cheering Zone in this video! 😁 Also so cool to see you racing in Berlin. I've been watching your videos for a long time now :)

[@MyfanwyCollins]

Thank you to you and Daniel for continuing to share your journeys. I want you to know how helpful it is to a hobbyist like me to learn through you. I'm running my first Boston Marathon tomorrow and cycling between crippling anxiety and euphoria and what you said about not focusing about going after a time was so helpful. Monumentally so. Of course, I want to qualify again but my real goal is to finish (and hope for no leg cramps as has happened in previous marathons). Thank you. ❤

[@johnrwilker]

Congrats 🎉. Daniel is a cheer freak so good to him. Great video as usual.

[@claricee3418]

Amazing! Congrats to a new PB, you're such an inspiration! Ps. The editing and the music is FIRE

[@jamhatts]

Whenever I need motivation to keep running I watch your videos. Thanks for being awesome!

[@luciannealbrecht190]

Always learning and taking the positives - you’ve taken your running to the next level Phily and it’s a joy to watch your journey - congratulations 😊

[@elysiabronte]

what an achievement!! was so incredible to watch (and took my mind off of being too injured to run with the insane atmosphere)!! and you should be so proud, it was such a warm day, and the start wasn't early enough to avoid the heat. congrats Philly!!!

[@laurencharltonn]

You did so well! And your mindset is so admirable! You should be proud that you have done it all on your own the past few weeks ❤❤

[@jessicadavis2169]

I always get emotional when Daniel cheers🥹 You two are an amazing team. Be proud of yourself Philly, you were absolutely flying! Daniel’s film work was on point as always! Love the freaking grind!!!!! ❤

[@jeffpicken5057]

Congrats on the PB! Love the Grind! Just found your channel a couple days ago. I like your energy and your positive, yet realistic attitude about goals. Heat up a brass paperclip and poke it through the nail to release the pressure. Heating it will sterlize it and also allow it to melt the nail to poke through.

[@franziskaprz8581]

These videos are so goood! Crazy editing! And so good to have philys personality on the tube! ❤

[@katieharrietmedia]

why am i crying so much when you're not even halfway into the race because of everyone shouting for you, so sweet

[@JamesMartin-gl8gg]

Philly, well done at Berlin. You made me look at my performance at Reading half in a different way because I did not get the time I was trying for. Thanks for that.

[@TaraDantouze]

daniel!!!! great support for you. well done phily

[@jonfreelove]

Absolutely love the team work you guys have and the many thought provoking messages that always pop up within your videos. Great vibes great energy

[@EricSmet]

Great race Phily! Again proving your potential...keep it up! And Daniel....wauw, probably the best footage so far ..in my opinion ;-)

[@reynierveldtmann3003]

Just love this video! You and Daniel are such a great team. Amazing run Phily! Well done!!

[@shaenmacdevette9610]

Such an inspiring video and really enjoy your authenticity. I ran my half marathon pb today so this video is the perfect way to wind down after a busy day 😊

[@JamesJalandoni1]

Editing and videography are really on point for the race! Great work Daniel and congratulations Phily!

[@christinaclementson]

What a great video! Well done on your PB Phily - sub 72 is definitely coming. You looked amazingly strong.

[@MartinNikel]

Seriously good video, think this is my all time favourite and I expect your constant improvement in running is matched only by Daniel’s camera and editing skills…! Seriously well done!

[@zarnyk6]

I woke up to this and it was the exact motivation for my long run today! Great work in Berlin and thank you! Love the grind!! ❤️

[@dunelmdivers]

I really enjoyed the last few minutes 'downtime' scenes. Go director !!

[@veerakaro]

Yes Philyyy!!! Got all emotional. Excited (and scared) for my first half next month 💥

[@PhilyBowden]

You'll be great!

[@marytoken3557]

Congrats Phily to that amazing time! So nice to see you running in the city I live in, I absolutely loved this video! Unfortunately I couldnt cheer for you in person, because I was running the half marathon myself (wayyy in the back). I cant believe you didnt complain more about the weather though, it was sooo hot and humid that day!! (our trainer even said we should all say goodbye to PB dreams and time goals, because of the weather that day)

[@IainThacker]

Firstly - inspiring performance! Your IG stories helped make this an easy choice for the next stop on our "superhalfs" journey! Secondly - Daniel knocking the video out of the park. Again!

[@davidmurray3685]

You two are a beautiful couple. I love this channel. I love the production values of your content. I love the fun and easy banter, but more than anything I love how you honor when you are serious Phily and the insight you provide of how you are striving for greatness. Inspirational ❤️💪

[@Snytkine]

So much positive energy in this video. Congratulations!

[@NHotspur]

I just did the Berlin half too, but you were amazing! I nipped in just under 2 hours and I'm old so hey, but what a great scenic course. Well done, it was so hot!

[@lindenkoppejan]

this guy prolly the best motivatir ive ever heard!!!

[@smiks83]

Sending ❤️‍🩹 to the toenails. Bravely sacrificed themselves to the grind 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@AlbertWeijers]

Congratulations on the PB! I saw some footage of Phily finishing in the official live stream of the event.

[@edithgruber2125]

Congratulations on the PB. That was a hard earned one and you raced it as good as you could on the day! Well done! I'm really impressed you got a PB. You'll get that 1:11 half on a better day, I'm sure. I ran a half on the same weekend a bit further south and I nearly melted. I wanted to get around in 1:45 but was a tad slower, 1:46. I was on target until 16 km (10 mi) and then I felt dizzy due to the heat so I slowed down. I'd rather finish it than end up in A&E. It wasn't the best day to run a fast time but it was the best I could do on the day.

[@laurenaronson8289]

Congratulations! That is an amazing finish and a PB to boot! 🎉🎉🎉

[@AVS_uk]

Woo Louise Small - she is such a legend. Amazing run - huge congrats

Congrats! Nice run, nice video! Reading-Phily is new but pleasant, I finished reading Lauren Fleshmans book "good for a girl" yesterday - a book about running 😃 PS: "Liebe den Grind" , but you were close ❤

[@chrisdark999]

Well done Philly! You will crack it sooner or later :)

[@moniquequinome4018]

Hello Phily, I love your videos. You are such a great content-creator!!! I'm german and live in Berlin and when I watched this video (I watch all of your videos although I'm quite old, 55 🤣), I recognised, that your flat in Berlin was very close to mine and you used the same Tram to go to Alexanderplatz as I do. Also you did your running in the same park as I do and I wished, I would have been this guy in the video you met in the park. Unfortunatly I couldn't see you running, because I had some business in the south of Germany an was not in the town. Otherwise I would have cheered for you!!! Your time is great. Most runners didn't achieve their goals because of the temperature.

[@mingoleivonginselher6164]

Love the Grind is something like "Liebe die Schinderei/Plackerei" in german. As a shoutout it would be: Lieb die Schinderei/Plackerei!

Yes Phily! Love your work 🤍💪

Berlin was really warm. Your effort was amazing!

[@maxashfordeagland1106]

Another fab video, very entertaining, big congrats 🎉 on pb and BTW heat makes a big difference 😊

[@RBcuber]

I also have Nike Alphafly, and also got blisters after running half marathons in them, and the blisters were in different places each time. The only thing is doctors don't recommend to pop those bubbles as the liquid inside helps to heal the blister faster. At the same time, it looked like your strides in those shoes were 10-15 cm longer than in the previous races. I hope they'll help you to setup quite a few more PBs :)

[@asprayofrocks]

Thank you for sharing! Every single thing you said after the race applied to me, too, except my numbers were 1:34 and I wanted to be in 1:32. It was too hot and halfs are hard! Oh and I also have a brand new black toe!

[@PAPilot53]

Well done! Beautiful running and most enjoyable video!

[@annemeyers2840]

SO cool to see that shot of Phily crushing with all those men around her. Boss power

[@tinymahuta]

Relax, she isn't beating her male peers, those are not elite male athletes. The best highschool boys can beat her. Boss power lol. She's great on her own, no need to bring gender into it.

[@chuckd5819]

What does men around her have to do with anything? Weird.

[@Melissa-gh7qn]

13:23 "MAYBE it was a little bit hot today". really had to laugh at this one 😂 I also ran in Berlin and it was SO hot that day! Like the first hot day after the long winter period. While I struggled so much and ran my slowest half marathon ever after training as hard as never before for a race, you seem to have run a PB effortless, at least as effortless as you can run a race 😅 loved the video and watching you running ❤

[@kenkretz6392]

Well done. Love the drone/daniel footage 🤣

[@xxXTheRealMcCoyXxx]

You can drain fluid under toenails easily and pain free. Heat a needle with a flame (benefit of making it sterile) rest it over the spot on the nail which has most fluid/darkest. It will melt the nail (no need for much force!) as soon as you feel loss of resistance/relief/see fluid stop. Tada you have drained your nail. Will be much comfier after this. Keep clean and dry. This is what I was told by runner/ER drs.

Good video danke.. You captured some of the cool areas of Berlin. I did the 1/2 marathon as well and the HEAT killed me… Crap time (YES it is ALL ABOUT THE TIME!). Straight after the race I said I would never do it again…….then 5 days later signed up for the 2025 event…… ADDICTION is a powerful mistress!!…..😃
