  • In 2019 Anya Culling ran a 4:34 marathon. A few years later she was selected to run for England.
    Anya's improvement in the past few years has been staggering, and so I wanted to learn more about her journey.
    We discussed some of the highlights so far as well as the struggles and pressure that can come with performing at the highest level.

    I dont care about running and i dont know why this video popped up for me but when i see someone like you who really cares about a sport i hope you do well and your channel blows up. I dont know anything about running but it was still a fun video to listen to. Good luck pal.

    I have seen Anya in some of Philly's videos but never watched one where she gets interviewed. Isn't she an absolute delight, so down to earth and warm, I am a fan and will be following her from now on. Thanks Harry.

    Nick Bester’s video of London with Anya was one of the first time I saw Anya. She smiled the entire way around the course whilst running 2:36!! Pretty incredible story. I think she will definitely break 2:30! 🤩 And Harry, you’re a great interviewer 👌👌

    I can totally related here. I've always struggled with my body and would exercise as more of a punishment. always had a love/hate relationship with running. I started running consistently twice a week in September last year, pushed SO hard on each run, braved starting parkrun 5 weeks ago and have got quicker EVERY week, from researching form and all the rest. I ran last weeks in 20:40. according to the stats this makes me at regional level, which is insane for me. I did my first ever proper race on sunday - my local 10k spring race and I came first girl with a time of 44:27. I feel I missed my calling because I'm now 31 which is a shame. but I'm joining a running club on tuesday which I'm so excited for. next will be a half marathon and then hopefully the full marathon next year. furthest I have run is 12K so, lots of work to put in, but I am so motivated because I know it's something I am actually good at (first thing I've ever been good at in my life). Sub 20 5K is my current goal and I'm so excited to make and meet some more :)

    I didn't realise Anya had such a meteoric rise! Great to see her dropping down to the shorter stuff too, a lot of runners seem to neglect shorter races once they've worked up to the marathon.

      It’s a wise decision, very right Steve: it can be easy to see it as a descent of the mountain when in fact that move can build foundations that allow higher summits to be reached

    Great interview and one i can relate to. I started running last May with 10K in 48.31 now down to 36.37 and going for a sub 3 hour marathon at Stratford same day as London. Nothing beats the feeling and running good vibes!

    At what point did she start working with a coach instead of running alone? Really incredible and motivating story she has!

      During lock down she met nick in Battersea park and started to train her. You can listen to the best athletics podcast they did together!

  • @AlbertWeijers
    @AlbertWeijers Před měsícem +1

    Her running style is a bit puzzling to me, a very high cadence and a low heel kick, I would think she could go faster if she could adjust that. When she in running at altitude in France with Phily Bowden and other runners the difference in in running form is huge.

    • @conniewilliamson973
      @conniewilliamson973 Před 29 dny +1

      People tend towards their personal most efficient running form the more running they do. She's done quite a lot so for whatever reason I'd lean towards that being more efficient for her than a traditional stride.
