“They’re too busy worrying about what other people think of them to be worrying about you” - this is TRUTH.

[@ioanparry]

All beginner runners need to hear this, completely true.

[@marknichols554]

This is so relevant in life generally, stop caring about what others think of you because most likely they are not thinking about you

[@AML147]

Mark Nichols that ain’t technically true. A better way to put it is that they’ll think about you for a second and move on. What should be focused on is that it doesn’t matter what they think and you just do you. The whole idea that people aren’t thinking about you because they’re too busy with themselves is a comforting lie. This is coming from personal experience plus I know psychology. I suppose I should add that it is true many people overestimate how much they’re actually being judged. Doesn’t mean they aren’t judging. That’s why I say just focus more on you and do the best you can.

Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@dallasguillermo5680]

@Zion Chad instablaster :)

[@xaviervermeulen9586]

You ran a 4:05 marathon off of 20 miles a week after 1 year of running? Damn you're gifted

[@alnomesamy]

Thanks for the link to Jack Daniels' VDOT. It proved to me that I was doing my easy runs too fast. Your point proven :)

[@steveturnerbossman]

Very honest, i really enjoy your content and love how passionate you and Ben are about running. You both help keep me going when motivation is low (like now) ....videos are becoming better than Ben's ;)

[@DaedalusLabyrinth]

To be fair, for me I don't know if it's so much about the quality but about getting a slightly different perspective. Checking out other channels is a good idea even if you watch a lot of one of them. And Sarah's channel feels familiar but fresh.

[@thejeffinvade]

I just run a 19:40 parkrun PB during my marathon training block. I am running 50 miles a week and my first marathon is in 8 weeks. Hopefully I can go sub 3:20 as well.

[@sarahclews3606]

Fantastic video- really helpful advice! From one Sarah to another, keep up the content- really inspiring to see female trail runners posting videos- thank you!

[@SarahPlace]

thanks sarah!!

[@nberkel]

Good recap. How about a full day of eating, or a week of running/eating?

[@davidcoleman5275]

Impressed by your get up and go. Just started to run again after a long lay off, no long distance but enjoy getting out there

[@tekipaf]

Hi Sarah, just to let you know that your videos are great and somehow feel quite different to what else is out there on KZbin. Also, you come across really well in front of the camera. Keep up the good work!

[@SarahPlace]

thanks johan!

[@katepierce3960]

Thanks Sarah, it's always interesting to see how other people get started with their running and being reminded that you don't have to be super human to be able to run 👍

[@GokuRunner]

So awesome. I'd love to run the times you got during your not so great/average times. Keep up the great work

[@emilys1447]

The south west coastal path is gorgeous! I think you'll love it. Great to hear your running story, always interests me the many different ways people get into running

[@pimacanyon6208]

but the SW coastal path in the winter?! I guess they do it then because other times of year there are too many walkers and tourists?

[@DanRuns]

A really enjoyable watch. Looking forward to my first ultra in September. About to adjust my training plan accordingly

[@jes28899]

I had to come back to this video, as a beginner myself, this is my first year of running properly and understanding and applying the basics. This video taught me a lot. I found out how to calculate my paces through your tips and make my own running plans. Hopefully you’re making a full comeback soon! Good luck for GTC

[@TheFODRunner]

Great to hear your running journey 👌 I don’t think it’ll be long before I move over to ultras as well!! Keep up the content 😃

[@sim7384]

Sub 20 5k = talented runner to me!

[@alanshrimpton6787]

I know this is quite an old video but just turned up in my feed. Before covid, how many races did you do each year?

[@jodavies8572]

Love your videos ☺️ I started running in 2018 after losing 6 stone and have never looked back! My goal is to complete the serpent 50k next year 🙈 but furthest to date is 21k so we will see.... x

[@SarahPlace]

Ah Jo that's amazing! Also you have loads of time to build up to that so don't worry! Good luck!

[@jamiexavier6654]

Another brilliant video Sarah always great to hear how people got into running as we all have different stories. That photo of you finishing the Centurion is so powerful as it captures the emotion of what you have achieved. Both you and Ben and two very inspiring runners and thanks for all the help you give us all,

[@bradfreeman8149]

You and Ben are awesome 😎 Love the energy of you both! Keep sharing positivity 🏃🏼‍♀️

[@sarahjmantzaris]

Thanks for the running calculator tip!🤩🥳

[@gillfox3422]

Great video and tips, especially re consistency and easy runs (not stressing what Strava pace says!) Thanks 👍

[@ashleyholbrook9396]

Another great video Sarah and a good insight. I had commented on one of your Instagram posts about your maybe doing an insight into what kit you carry on your ultras?

[@SarahPlace]

hey ashley yes i saw that thank you! will be one of the next ones i film :)

[@Dan-cz5sj]

Its really nice to see you come from looking a little awkward about Ben putting the camera in your face to you putting it in your own face to tell your own story haha! Great video. Would be nice to hear how you got into running coaching.

[@SarahPlace]

yeah it's just that feeling of not being in control that i don't like but this way it's all in my hands hahaha

[@domm.5936]

Hi Sarah, thanks for posting this video. Great to hear that you started from such casual beginnings and gradually worked your way to where you are. I've only been running for just over 12 months and I'm in my mid-40s. I was put off running for years because I thought there was a stigma, but now I don't worry what people think. I am just setting my own goals and running at my own pace - I just wish I had started earlier.

[@kerileehunter13]

Hi Sarah. Thanks for the videos. Really enjoying them. Would love to see some what you eat in a day/day in the life videos if you are looking for ideas. Cheers :)

[@SarahPlace]

thanks kerilee! it's on the list!

[@jozetrselic]

I've discovered your channel just recently and I just love listening to / watching you. I find your content very useful. Cheers!

[@timbrennan6766]

Thanks for stressing that we shouldn't be comparing ourselves to other runners! Became a lot more enjoyable for me when I stopped doing that all the time. Any other dream races you'd like to try?

[@SarahPlace]

yeah i mean i get caught up in it sometimes myself and have to snap myself out of it! ohhh yes of course, i have a huge bucket list of races i'd like to eventually do, honestly the list is endless, especially for ultras, so many great places to explore! lavaredo, eiger, utmb, comrades, cph half to name but a few!

[@neiltimms9380]

Great video Sarah, you are looking and sounding far more confident in front of the camera. You'll be giving Ben a run for his money soon....great work, keep it up!

[@SarahPlace]

haha thank you neil, learning from the best in the biz!

[@peterbedwell9339]

Thanks Sarah. I would be interested to hear more about your TP100 race(s). Key training and what went well. How you would approach it differently in the future.

[@Nickswolves]

That was really interesting Sarah, looking forward to seeing some more running tips videos 😁👍🏼

[@jonh1958]

Good advice Sarah, thinking about my running ups and downs I can see how I could improve now (get back on track). Consistency and mileage have always been my issue. If I do too much I always seem to pick up some sort of injury and then when it comes to race day it feels very much like its in the lap of the gods as to how well it goes. Some advice about that would be helpful.

[@IggyPuff888]

How old are you when you started running?are you still running? I kind of feel like my age prevents me from running, I dont know...maybe its just all mental.

[@EnduranceTrainingVlogs]

I have started my MARATHON journey It's a 25 week training plan so far week 1 is completed I will try to update and record my journey , please suggest if any one have any pro tips.

[@MikeGray]

You have a new follower on KZbin and Strava and thanks for the inspiration Sarah 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️😀

[@katy4822]

This is so helpful and inspiring to hear. I've not long graduated and started working, and only started properly getting into running in the last year. I've always been quite naturally talented at endurance running, but never had the time to commit to training until I started working from home over the last few months. I don't know any other 'serious' runners or relative newbies trying to get those times down so can be quite difficult doing it all alone at times with so little guidance, so lovely to hear other people's long distance experiences. Thank you for the inspiration, great to hear other people who have such a passion for running too!

[@andyjamesmciver]

That VDOT calculator is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

[@SarahPlace]

no worries andy, glad it's helped!

[@nenestronglifetv.7090]

Hi Good day I am new Subscriber,..London its my wish to visit.

[@reynolds0088]

How do you not fuck your knees? I just started running an struggling 😂😂

[@umanu5437]

So humble! ☺️

[@jasoncooper3939]

You would be a great pacer for me lol I still suffering knee issues but all these tips have helped especially the training plan and about easy runs cause I'm one of them who does have a slow down pace

[@jsbc003]

I've run about 10 half marathons and I can't even get close to 2:19 :(

[@kl8922]

im an experienced runner... but I cannot break 4 hours in a marathon. ever.

[@tonyjsharkey]

Great video - it's always good to see/hear how people came into the sport and how they improved.. See you at the start of the Arc!

[@SarahPlace]

woo see you there tony!!

[@clairel3730]

Brilliant Strava advice !!!! Thanks Sarah . 🐢 not 🐆 !!

[@andresitofvg]

Im in love with you! 🥰 keep it up!

[@mdny7788]

When things open up, you should do a combo, run plus explore vlogs, go to really nice scenic places for runs and review the place plus vlog about ur runs

[@stephaniefunrun]

Fun! Frankfurt is my home turf and I will be running it this year

[@timshearn8203]

Great video Sarah, thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work 👍

[@dickwillymoore]

Great to hear about your journey so far. I would love that marathon progression myself after completing my first at Brighton last year in 3:55. Just shows hard work and dedication can pay off, thanks to you and Ben for continuing to inspire! 🙌😄

[@kathrynmoney4406]

Great vid Sarah. Just wondering how you train for your Ultras. Do you treat them as long runs whilst marathon training or train specifically?

[@cambridgeendurancecrew5857]

This is awesome stuff, we're just starting out our KZbin channel documenting our training... Can't wait to see more of yours!

[@MrRennieFrumpkin]

Fantastic videos! Really helpful, thank you 🙏👍

[@Clairewy]

Guessing your arc of attrition didn't happen

[@andreagordon7904]

Great content !

[@andreafraquelli2870]

You speak with integrity and generosity of spirit. Lovely to see and inspiring for everyone at every level.

[@randomize9642]

Great advice Sarah, any advice on a recovery week? Like do i just do 5 or 6 ''easy''short runs or how does it work?

[@SarahPlace]

hey rudolph, its up to you, you can either just run easy that week and bring the volume down slightly or what i did during marathon training was i kept the structure of the week the same with some speedwork still just to keep a bit of intensity there but reduced the volume of each run slightly, so the total volume was about 15% lower than the previous 3-4 weeks if that makes sense?

[@randomize9642]

@@SarahPlace Makes 100% sense! I'll keep it the same, but just less mileage! Next week is suppose to be my recovery week. Thanks Sarah!

[@dave7mm083]

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck!

[@neilhaydock108]

Thanks Sarah, another great video. Good content yet again inspirational 👍

[@dizzyk54]

Inspiring 😉👌💪

You are an inspiration.Thanks for the tips!

[@davidabkk]

What do you mean, good for age time? At 2.07

[@susanwiggins6309]

Great video Sarah! Nice to get to know you and your running history a bit more. Very inspiring! I'm working at chipping away at my marathon time also - increasing mileage with lots of easy runs and focusing on consistency.

[@SarahPlace]

thanks susan! consistency is key! good luck with it :)

[@rachelmerrigan6817]

Really enjoying your videos! It would be great to see some on Nutrition/fuelling and mobility/injury prevention.

[@SarahPlace]

thanks rachel, will do!

[@artisandesign-kenyanrunnin2005]

Great video, consistency and easy mileage is the key for sure ;)

[@twofingers2034]

Great video Sarah. Like your way of telling story. Tip for next videos: how many pairs you worn out and some shoes intro, your veggie štýle and why and how long are you veggie, daily structure etc. Good job!!!

[@lurker916]

Wha hey! Your edits are getting better every episode as you get more confident in front of the camera.. Looking forward to the next one.

[@SarahPlace]

Ah thanks so much!

[@annastapley4628]

Amazing motivational video, thank you :)

[@49sakar]

Thanks for the valuable inputs Sarah.

[@longdistancerunner]

Very inspirational to see how you've progressed! I myself started my consistent and structured running training approximately a year ago. I hope to have similar improvement as you over the coming years. 👊

[@SarahPlace]

thanks kim and good luck in your running!

[@activeantdad1434]

Thanks for sharing! Love the inspiration and looking forward to watching the Arc of Attrition training and prep.

yeah i'm looking forward to it too! hopefully will get down to cornwall to run parts of the course later in the summer!

yes will defo be doing some kit stuff soon!

Try Loch Ness Marathon its still on at the moment an absolute beautiful race Sunday October the 4th 🦕, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏞️

[@davidhigginbottom371]

Love to hear people's stories on how they got into running, & their approach. I started parkrun Sept 17 then 1st race Sheffield 10k September 18. Neer thought I'd do an half marathon but ran 4 in 2019 Sheffield Manchester worksop & Clowne. Last year & this had having knee issues add in covid so it's stalled

[@Morfeusm]

Love your videos Sarah!

[@lindsaynewell6319]

Great vlog but weird you reference Pfitzinger & Douglas and Daniels - those were my main resources when I was coaching marathon runners in ...... 2000 🤣

[@James-Henderson]

This is a great video. Thank you. My marathon PB is 4hr19 but i would like to break 4 hours. I thought my easy pace was 9:30 ish but that link had my easy at over 10 minutes. Should i slow down?

[@davidjanbaz7728]

Don't forget to do a speed session on the track or spints for time during a run ! 400's or 800's are good 12× 800 at 3:00 min. for 3h marathon 3: 10-15 for you to improve. Even sprint the straights and jogg the turns and reverse directions for muscle balance! Do year round once or twice a month!

[@mikelrobertsbeckett1454]

Love your tips and advice!

[@hcronos]

Sara you're the best

[@nenestronglifetv.7090]

Here in Germany you Drive in the right side and by Kilometers our high way the lower speed is 120Km.

[@innesdunbar]

Another good video Sarah. I just did a 100 mile week (enjoyed your 100 mile week video), finished my Run1000miles challenge and just have a couple of runs to complete a 300 mile month all with my 2 year old Border Collie. Like you I really enjoy the trails, looking forward to more easing of lockdown in Scotland so I can travel further for trail runs. Keep the videos coming.

[@chrissyt8111]

I have to say I really appreciate your good editing, you can really tell you plan your videos. Thank you for the useful information and tips. After back to back hip and knee injuries... I have finally got the green light to run further than 3km (1mile-ish) again.... wish me luck!

[@jamezday]

I've done a few road marathons and trails as well, just did Scafell Pike, looking to move up to one day Ultra and then potential multi day, what's the main difference? Pretty much everyone just says mindset but it's gotta be more than that?

[@rafaelodossantos4210]

Well done sarah!

[@iancollinge1614]

great vid, good info

[@ian757]

Some good advice there Sarah. I’ve only recently started doing easy runs to increase my mileage and it’s so true what you say not to care about what others might think - not just on Strava but when you’re out and you keep seeing all these other people apparently running quicker than you. Well, they’re probably not quicker than you. They’re probably running 3k at their tempo pace or above. Just look at Ben’s easy runs and I don’t think anyone would say he’s a slow runner! 😎 Looking forward to some gear reviews which I can share with my daughter.

[@enriquegonzalez2679]

More videos the better. Enjoying watching your videos. Thank You.

[@kieranobrien5718]

Great video, Sarah!

[@manonpiche8652]

So interesting Sarah ! Thank you for sharing. I train for my first marathon in the fall 2021. I did 5 half marathon since January. Working on my resistance in long distance and fine tuning my nutrition. I did a 30 Km 2 weeeks ago and had a hard time finishing it....missed fuel 🤷🏼‍♀️thank you for your videos on fuel. I understand now that I have to fuel as I run...
