  • How is the marathon just 2 weeks away!? Although I'm feeling all kinds of emotions having watched Manchester and London marathon over the last two weeks, I'm so excited to finally, after what feels like so long (over a year), be running my 2nd Marathon in Copenhagen. In today's video I take you through a day int he life, training at 600ft feet, and towards the end of the video I go into detail about how training has been going and if I think I'm ready to toe the line!

    No matter what happens Phily. Your decision to take a risk and go for it is the most important thing. I'm pulling for you every step of your cadence.

    Regardless whether you make 2:28 or not, I admire you for taking the leap and quitting your job to follow your passion. It's easy to stay in your comfort zone and then wonder what if years later. Good luck in Copenhagen!

    Just want to say Philly that I really enjoy how you treat running and that you inspire me a lot! Not half as good as you, but back in HS I did see some success by going to Footlocker Nationals and getting close to breaking 17 minutes (17:08 darn it) in the 5k, but really struggled with the transition to collegiate running with mental health and lingering EDs. I am turning 26 this year and trying to get back into consistent running for fun and see where it takes me and I've been really motivated by your vlogs and your somewhat relatable story. Good luck and have fun! :)

    I've a feeling that coach will have scheduled a long run for me that day so I'll aim to run it virtually with you, although not at similar pace and duration... Enjoy the taper, don't go insane!

    Haven't run any races in years. But when I did, my A goal was always to NOT have to cross the finish line on a rolling stretcher. 😟😟 I started running at 27. I'm now 71. My new A goal is to continue outrunning the heart surgeon. 🤣🤣Love you're spirit and enthusiasm. 😜😜 Be safe. Be well. May all your ups and downs have only soft landings.🙏🙏

    So inspiring, I hope you make it to the olympics.
    I just finished the Tuesday session of your 10k high volume training and it’s week 5! It’s been so fun. I did the repeat of the week 1 Tuesday intervals and every split was a lot better than week 1. The last 4x400 was almost a full minute per mile faster pace. I feel really good about running the 10k at my goal pace now.
    I hope you post more trainings on your site I would definitely do more of them. I think I might do another 10k in fall then do a half marathon in winter.

    The tuna+pasta+ketchup combo is absolutely a win in my books! Nice and safe pre-long run food :) The very best of luck in Copenhagen next weekend! I ran it last year, it's a nice route through the city (on quite narrow streets at times though so things got a bit tight down at my end of the race!). Thank you for the fun, positive and down-to-earth content, and for taking us with you on your journey to qualify for the olympics!

    I think you got this! And even if you don't hit your top goal I think you're still going to do REALLY well, especially if the 5k race is anything to go by!
    Also using your own saliva for your HRM isn't gross. However, prepping someone else's...

    Good luck on your marathon. Don't think too much about it, it will work. I ran the Hamburg marathon last week, because on friday I got drunk and bought a ticket on saturday morning, still being drunk. With only doing your 5k trainingplan in novemver and december as my preparation and then "tapering" for 4 month, that was probably not the smartest idea I ever had, but I still finished. Sure, my goals were a little bit lower than yours, but whenever you feel pain during the race, just think of this 100kg, 35 year old, who ran a marathon with one day of notice, and be sure, that your pain is probably not that awful :D
    I am sure you will run a great time.👍

    Phily, you know we all love you, but that tuna pasta looked disgusting. You definitely need to take Daniel with you next time you do a training camp. That's the first thing. Second thing is to say I am pulling for you to make that A goal of 2:28. When you get to the start corral, as you say, you will have done everything you can in training and preparation. You know you have the grit and mental toughness. I hope though you take a few moments to let go of all the nervous energy and just take in where you are and to enjoy that really special moment. You know all of us 21K followers will be with you.

    You have the advantage of “ living the life as an elite runner “ alas, at times, you come across really negative .
    You have the opportunity to do something “ training FT as an athlete “ yet, you give off so many bad vibes.
    Just enjoy what you have and what it might produce, further down the line .
    Just be happy you are healthy, able to run ……..
