I love that you stopped for a coffee! When I went to Portugal in the middle of my Ultra training block, I used to stop for a coffee and pastel de nata. Game changer! These breaks can really get you through those long runs and I don't believe they have any negative impact on training. I ended up having an amazing Ultra. Good luck Flora, I hope you enjoy Paris.
Thank you for showing this!!! I love how you stopped for a coffee. I ran my long run yesterday, first time I hit the 20.6KM in a long time. Training for an ultra in Sept. You will be amazing for your marathon!
Wow, congrats on the Productive status, I find that's hard to achieve. Quite a strong finish! I'm at the beginning of my training for Race to the Stones 100km non-stop, and just taking it easy. I'm not following a plan too closely. This Easter weekend I want to run three times, so I've rested for these last three days beforehand.
I really like your vlogs Flora. I’ve been training for a 6 hour ultra, London marathon and then my big one - London to Brighton 100k. Picked up an injury 2.5 weeks ago. Not been able to run at all. Very small compared to your woes, but it really does help me try and stay positive when I see how you’re bouncing back. So thank you. I am hoping to be able to make London and do it as a run/walk and enjoy the day and then HOPEFULLY get a semi-decent month of training in b4 the 100k. Not how I wanted to arrive on the start lines, but I’ll take anything right now. Good luck in Paris!!
Just did my 20 mile run for my first marathon, really proud of myself and like you amazed that I can do it, now feeling a bit more confident for the marathon, but it will be slow! Well done on yours and hope you recover ok (weirdly after having poor HRV for the last couple weeks I'm already back in normal 2 days later!) enjoy your taper weeks ❤
Love your channel, and how cheerful you are despite the setbacks! 🥳😎 Best of luck in Paris, hope you have a great time!💪 I'm training for some trail races, so to find trails/hills I take train to run around Surrey hills from London, really nice trails there, you may have been! I always stop for a coffee too 🤭
great timing for this video, I have this exact route planned for tomorrow morning 🤣 Im nervous about my longest ever run, but seeing you manage it so well has definitely given me a confidence boost!
Great work. I’ve did my last long 35k run training for Brighton last Sunday. I’m coming back from injury and I have only been able to run since early February, so this will be the most underprepared I’ve ever been for a marathon, but I’ve managed to get some decent training in last month, including 3 30k plus long runs. Similar to you I like to do a point to point run along the river path from Harlow to Tottenham and then get the train home. I find it mentally easier doing a long point to point trail run.
Great to see you doing so well in your training. You'll smash the marathon distance! =D I also enjoy just listening to the sounds and smelling the fragrances of nature when I go for a run. It's definitely a great way to get a mindfulness session in too.
Thanks for another great video Flora. Loving the enthusiasm! The Salt Path is lovely and Landlines by the same author is also beautifully written. I found Elise Downing's 'Coasting' a great running companion too. Just wanted to let you know you're providing inspiration for a 55 year old who's signed up for her first trail marathon this year based more on faith than ability!! (I also pick up stranded worms on the path too!🙂).
I'll have to read Lanlines too then! She's an amazing writer. I loved Coasting - I read it as soon as it was released! That's awesome, I'm sure you'll ace it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well done Flora, any remaining EBV in the system now getting anxious ! Realising now IT'S "hitting the wall", forget the "victory," now in "survival" mode ! 😁 ☀️ 🐿
I absolutely love the salt path! Such an incredible story, I’m reading the second book now! Congrats on your long run, since I’ve found your channel I feel so much more motivated to get the distance in, also love seeing routes in and around Bristol too as I’m also Bristol based!!
Congratulations on your run Flora, great preparation for the maraton in mind and body. I know that path as I cycled in with friends as an out and back, plenty of muddy puddles. Look forward to the next one, keep it up.
Yaaay, great run, even though you felt off!! I'm so excited to see your progress! Lovely path, worm rescue, and you NEVER need excuses for local coffee shops! 😂 I hope the ankle sorted itself. I've got a trail marathon in 3 weeks I'm using for a training run... which is good, because I've only run 5 miles so far. 😂 Its a training race for my first 100k, coming up a month after. Undertrained and fueled on stubbornness, that's how I roll! 😂 🫣
I’m so frustrated with Garmin’s training status, constantly getting everything but a productive status. Garmin’s algorithm just doesn’t compute with my physiology and relearning running while recovering from and learning to live with a major double lung and heart injury. But i enjoyed the vid and am encouraged to hear you don’t get the correct status either! 😊
Excellent long run, good luck with the marathon coming up, hope you get absolutely hooked on the marathon, this time next year sub 3 hour marathon? Haha no pressure, 🏃🏽♂️✅🌳✌️🥳👣👍🏼
Normalising stopping mid run for a coffee! Enjoy the Salt Path - it's a great book. I haven't read the second one but heard equally great reviews. I'm currently reading Keep On Running by Paul Hewitt and he mentions what a fab course Paris is - excited to see how you find it
Smashing effort flora! I can see you are wearing brooks Hyperion elite 2, how are you getting on with them? Ps I’m heading to Bath over the Easter weekend and will also try to dip my toes in Bristol. Could you recommend good places or pubs to visit? Thanks, happy running ❤
Some colleagues convinced me to join them on a half marathon on 21st of April. I've been putting off training for running for ages (have kept busy fitness wise with other sports), last week I decided it couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go for a long z2 run to see where I was at. Accidentally ended up running a half marathon at 6min/km pace. Didn't feel dead at the end luckily, but did regret it for 2 days after as I couldn't do my other sports for 2 days because of a sore foot. Just wondering, am I the only one that feels sometimes running slower then your 'go to' pace takes more energy then your go-to pace ? I settled on 6 min/km as it felt it would use less energy then running any slower.
@@FloraBeverleythanks for replying - any recommendations for a vest? Marathon in sept and I’m starting training early!! I don’t know whether to bite the bullet and get the Salamon everyone seems to have! Xx
Make sure you're not going too fast, make sure you've eaten enough and ideally, ensure your long sun's aren't any more than 30% of your total weekly running volume

Good afternoon. Great effort, Flora. ¡¡¡¡The Paris Marathon 2024 is coming....!!!!!. Like from Spain. A nice weekend for everyone.

Thanks for taking us on your runs! It always motivates me to run as well 😊 best of luck on your marathon you got this! 🙌🏾

Good job, you seem to be doing well.
Always enjoy your VLOG, it puts a smile on my face. BTW, it's inspiring also!
Wasn't able to watch the whole vlog, but you seem to be moving quite well!! Best wishes!!

I love rescuing worms and snails ❤ thought I was the only one

SCLUB 7 yesssssssss
yeah more fishing bridge or sea bridge
Smashing effort flora! I can see you are wearing brooks Hyperion elite 2, how are you getting on with them? Ps I’m heading to Bath over the Easter weekend and will also try to dip my toes in Bristol. Could you recommend good places or pubs to visit? Thanks, happy running ❤
You can buy those squeeze packs and you could make your own pumpkin/ SP puree!
Thank you for always mentioning your heart rate because that is something which is currently bothering me.
cool sunglasses 😎

Hello, just wondering what the playlist was please?
❤❤❤
Hi Flora which running vest are you using? And does the water “bounce”! Thank you xx
Hey! This is an old Columbia 7L pack and no it doesn't, but sadly I don't think its available anymore 😢
@@FloraBeverleythanks for replying - any recommendations for a vest? Marathon in sept and I’m starting training early!! I don’t know whether to bite the bullet and get the Salamon everyone seems to have! Xx
👍I'm tired she said at km 25😮
Any advice on cramp on long runs?
Make sure you're not going too fast, make sure you've eaten enough and ideally, ensure your long sun's aren't any more than 30% of your total weekly running volume
Thank you 😊
Sorry to burst yoyr bubble....32km is the halfway mark on a Marathon...
Next time...Go over the distance !!!Go 45km !!! You will never regret it !!!
What do you mean? A marathon is 42.2km? She’s run more than half that in this training sesh
Pushing further than you're ready for, especially when recovering from injury or illness, has caused major regret in MANY runners! 😂
