I DID A WORKOUT AT THE UK'S FASTEST PARKRUN - Bushy Park the world record course!

  • This weekend I ran the Bushy Park parkrun, the course where the ParkRun world record was run by Andy Baddeley! The Bushy Park parkrun is flat and fast, just outside London and attended by a huge 1000+ finishers each week! I used the parkrun as part of my running workout for the day, running controlled (ish) at tempo pace for the 5k, then building into a 2 mile and 1 mile rep after the parkrun to continue to session. This was only my second ever parkrun, after running my first earlier this year with the one and only Harry Morgan from Jog on! It was also technically a parkrun PB! I'll definitely be back for more - this was seriously fun.

    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😂

    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!!

So I'm glad you've recovered, even if you didn't bounce back like you wanted. Thanks for the fun Parkrun post!

    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.

    Nice workout Philly. Pretty impressive to bust out a 17:30 5K and then follow it up with a speed session.
    Also glad you listened to your "inner self" on bagging the full marathon for the year. I had visions of doing a fall marathon this year but after an injury and covid there was no way I was going to be able to run, let alone train, for what I wanted to. We'll see how things go for this spring but I am enjoying focusing on the shorter races these days.

    Parkruns are great fun. I generally use them as my speed session (I like doing fartlek, often people start racing me when I pick up the pace, then I slow down, at the finish line their knackered and I am okay but feel guilty of tempting other runners to push 🙄😅 I need to wear a t shirt saying: I am doing fartlek today, then again they'll probably avoid me seeing the word fart 😅), sometimes easy run, sometimes I go for a PB.

    Great video Phily, loving your content. Just a thought to your Marathon plans, there are some great, flat marathons in February in Spain.... Murcia 5th February, Alicante the week later - just a thought..... I know how much you enjoyed Seville?? and maybe shorten the cross country season even more????? Keep posting the content. Inspirational.❤

    I feel ya Philly, I’m always always late to parkrun with my warmup and intros taking too long

    Agreed, the RC1 grips are amazing…the RC2 not so great 😢 And camping is bloody ace, especially if you go with a few mates - Although only go if the weathers decent 😊

      Maybe they’ll bring back the OG grips?
      Camping trip may be being booked at this rate Daniel…

    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
      @PhilyBowden  Před rokem +1

      Aha thank you!
      Yes a half marathon is potentially on the cards, just going to focus on having fun with races and see where it takes me. 3 peaks sounds like a great challenge!

    • @hamwhacker
      @hamwhacker Před rokem

      @@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.

    I love running in Bushy Park and the parkrun course is nice and flat, though you have to be comfortable running with huge numbers as Bushy parkrun is the most popular in the country. Was well over 1000 runners at the last parkrun I did there some years ago.

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  Před rokem

      That is true, there was over 1100 finishers on Saturday - quite spectacular!

    Camping. Everyone else's noises all through the night. Minimal sleep and cooking takes an hour when it would take 10 mins at home.
    Self defeating and time consuming.
    We're with Team Daniel.
    We ran Bushy parkrun years ago. About 150 did it back then. That start line was insane. Reminiscent of the National XC.

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  Před rokem +1

      But what about the sleeping under the stars, marshmallows round the fire and living off the land!
      I hear you on everyone else’s noises though 😂

    Last Saturday a marshall at Walsall Arboretum Park Run shouted "2nd Place" to me even though I was like 60th 😂 I was doing the run in intervals and just as the true 1st place person lapped me on my 2nd lap I started to turn on the burners and people assumed I was hot on his trail. It was nice having an insight into what it would be like being an elite even if it was a total misunderstanding 😂

    Come and join us at Prospect Park next time it’s much better than TVP… The ladies course record just got smashed the other week, fancy beating 16:37 on grass?
