Love these vlogs. You guys are a tremendous duo

Congratulations on 10k subscribers! Your first parkrun was the video that got me into your channel, so it's great to see you back at one. I deliberately saved this video for motivation for parkrun today, although hurt my neck at the gym yesterday so I'm not sure how running is going to go. By the way, you were the fastest female at Bushy since April 16th - not bad when you weren't pushing 100%!! No woman has 'won' Bushy parkrun since 2011: I reckon you could put that right😉 Also, well done to Daniel on passing his test! I passed mine in Jan 2020 and haven't driven since😂

Very cool video that can make me excited again to exercise. Thank you very much❤❤

Great videos. You should definitely try some more parkruns. I travel all over the place doing them. It's a great way of seeing different places home and abroad.

I intend to do this parkrun in the not to distant future I just love them, great run Phily 😀🏃‍♀️

Great video! 👏 A really enjoyable watch 😀

Hey Philly - I been following your channel for a few months now. I started my channel about a year after you (summer 2022) and it's been fun following your growth. I can see you having a huge following one day. Like you, I also quit my 9-5 to focus on my passions. So, I take a lot of inspiration in what you do... As a bodybuilder, running is a foreign concept to me. But you present the world of running in a fun way that's easy to engage with. Best of luck and excited to see the channel grow!!

I’ve done 500 parkruns and have a marathon pb of 3.38, but watching you ‘proper’ runners, it’s a different sport. Brilliant to see

Love your video, they make me laugh :) can’t wait to see you do more cross country running. I am planning on doing a 50k trail race in November

Bushy and Kingston were my local Park Runs (you should try Kingston's, which is just across the river: it's a flat, narrow and sometimes muddy course, but it's up-and-back along the Thames towpath and a really lovely run!) ... once again, Philly, your videos are making me homesick! ;-) Thoroughly enjoyable, though!

17.31.. absolutely brilliant time, well done.

So cool to see my home parkrun! I tried to fit it in to my long run last weekend and there was an 18 minute wait for my barcode, was obviously a mistake because of the long wait 😂 lesson learned

So good you are listening to your body & postponing the marathon-a huge commitment if you don’t think you’re ready or the bod is up for it. U don’t want to set yourself up for a fall (confidence/enjoyment of running, u get what I mean!) by not coming up with the result ur after/aiming for. Excited to see some cross country content-haven’t tried that yet but I’m very curious🤣 it’s all exciting for me these days after falling in love with running fairly recently after HATING it as a kid🤣

Camping can be fun, especially what is dubbed as Car Camping (IE driving to a campground and camping). You can bring everything you need in your car, get some nice inflatable beds and because you are car camping there is no limit to what you want to bring. Don't want to sleep in a sleeping bag? That's ok, you can bring your duvet, a real blow up mattress and your pillows from home. You guys should go camping for sure.

At the start I thought you were talking about pace per kilometre rather than per mile. Got a huge shock when you started running 😮. Seeing people like yourself run so fast is inspirational at a park run. Although we rarely see you because you guys have normally finished and gone home by the time we finish. It’s like seeing a Ferrari in action❤ You could do a half marathon instead? If you are looking for a cross-country challenge, try the Yorkshire 3 Peaks. We walked the 25 miles in 15 hours, but you could probably run it in 6?

@@PhilyBowden Good luck. Personally I did a 10km race recently and really enjoyed going 5 minutes faster than in training. Sometimes I volunteer at Park Run Newbury which is a good (fast?) course on Greenham Common with hundreds of runners. And there are usually a couple of fast female runners. Although you are a track star so would beat everyone 😀. My son loves running and did a half marathon in 1 hour 22 minutes. You would probably smash that as well! Note The Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge that I was referring to is in Yorkshire. It is not to be confused with the National 3 Peaks (Snowdon etc) but is still famous and has running records attached to it. Since you can run along the flat between the peaks. We walked it from Philpin Farm Campsite which is on the route. If you conk out after the 1st or 2nd peak you can get a train back to Ribbledale (only a mile or so from the campsite) from Horton-In-Ribblesdale. Also taking the train from Settle to Carlisle for a day trip is one of the most famous stretches of railway in the country, such is the beauty of the landscape.
