We have to protect our air now, for our future, the future of sport, and for future generations across the world. Thank you @WorldAthletics for sponsoring today's video and campaigning for cleaner air for everyone! #EveryBreath
Is there a better way to spend Christmas day than time trialing a really hard and muddy Parkrun? I think not! I decided to go and try break a Parkrun course record on Christmas day to test my fitness as we gear up for the New Year. It turns out I picked a rather hard Parkrun, did I bite a little more than I could chew?!

Big thanks to the amazing volunteers at Chippenham ParkRun! The text at 9:01 disappeared for some reason… it should say “1 minute and 22 seconds” 😁
What shoes did you run In Phily ?
@@lionheart4552 they’re the New Balance RC FuelCell Elite V1 - you can’t buy them anymore but they have great little grippy bits at the bottom! Same ones I wore for the Bushy Park ParkRun/workout vid!
@@PhilyBowden Thanks Phily .
Great video Phily! My mother was the Christmas Tree volunteer - it's become a traditional Christmas parkrun outfit in our household!! Great video - love the Christmas grind :)
Well done! Did my first Parkrun, Congleton, on Christmas Day, 22:07. 5k PB by over a minute and a great way to sign off the year. I got beat by a bloke in a full snowman outfit!!!
Did he give you the cold shoulder? 😂
🤣 That's so bad it's worth of inclusion in a cracker!
Really glad I stumbled on your channel Philly. After gaining a pile of weight after an ankle break last year your attitude gave me the confidence I still have a spring marathon in me.
1 minute 21 second improvement on the course record is mad!
You will do amazing things keep it up homie
Congrats on the new course record. Signed the petition. Also joined the Covid club a couple of weeks before xmas, been doing a 1 mile symbolic run the past two days to get back into it
AMazing video just started watching you recently and ur so inspiring hope u achieve ur dreams I will be following ur journey keep up the amazing work!!
Congrats on the time! I still haven't done a ParkRun, but someday :)
I was the guy complaining about my back in the last comment section, so I missed my Christmas run(we had an extreme blizzard anyway), but I did my first run back today and I feel good!
Paused to sign. Love the enthusiasm while I lay in bed on a Sat sleep in New Year's Eve drinking espresso before my long run in a NZ summer. Been hot all week.
Course record, that's cool for a warm up race to test your fitness. Waiting to see your next year adventures on the track.
Awesome running philly congratulations on the course record 🎉
Great video and happy holidays!
Signed declaration Phily. Fantastic you're drawing this to our attention & well done on a great run.
LOVE a Christmas Day parkrun!!
Well run! Well edited! Well said. I signed the petition.
Phily Bowden
Love your awesome videos all of them, Phily your way way fast
Great video, great advice.
Great altered rendition of Christmas songs Phily well done on the course record 👏👟🎅🍾👍
Congratulations Philly love your videos!
Nice job breaking the record - I can only dream of going sub 24 min :) I used to volunteer at my local Park Run (I cycled there) but soon realised that aside from promoting the health benefits for those that may not run, far too many runners were driving to and from the event, which for me defeats the purpose of your message here - driving X miles to run 3 miles seems a bit pointless - for those that have no issues with motivation, just start at home and run 5k, no need to do it at a Park Run where driving there offsets any potential benefits, not to mention the irony of asking for cleaner air!
Congrats Philly!!! Love the Christmas grind too!!!😉Happy new year to you both!!! All the absolute very best for 2023-may all your dreams for the year come true, & don’t forget to have a ton of fun along the way!!!
Did my first Parkrun in Xmas day what a vibe!, So many Santa hats too!, Signed for clean air
Amazing video and amazing new course record. Great stuff!
Fantastic that, happy new year!!!
Looked like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing:)
Thanks for another excellent video Phily. Declaration done ✔️
Great video Philly ..
Oh what fun it is to run on a Merry Christmas Day!!!! Great job Philly, record run. Keep the great videos coming. Happy New Year to you and Daniel.
Hopefully we will see you getting some manchester parkrun records for 2023, there's some fast courses to be had.
Ooh which ones? I'm there in April.
Well done Phily! Parkrun really is for everyone, including future Olympians!
I made the mistake of setting a big course PB on Christmas Eve, meaning I took it a bit easier on Christmas Day itself.
Well done Philadelphia Bowden
Wuhay! We're around the same speed!
If you get the opportunity, I'd recommend Southampton and Fareham Parkrun near where I live.
Southampton has huge numbers every week, and it's very pretty.
Fareham is all gravel, but it's way more interesting than your average out-and-back course.
Beating a local parkrun course record sounds really fun, i currently run 19:50 but my course record is 14:44! I feel like its never gonna be broken it's so fast!
Great effort Philly, looked more like a 5KM cross country race.
Always happy watching your videos. Love to see your grind! Motivates me to keep on pursuing my own grind! Loving it 💪🏃♂️. Happy New year to you both!
Course records on Christmas day lol... Nice work !! :D
Well run, on Christmas day
Congratulations on getting the Chippenham parkrun record. It's not every day you show up at a parkrun event that you never ran at and take the parkrun record.
I've only done Chippenham before and found it tough! Great effort.
Happy new year Phily.
Great run 🏃♀️🏃♀️
Wicked content as ever Phily, looking forward to seeing you smash it in 23! Also, that NB top at the end is Niiiccceee! Do you know if it is available to mere mortals!??
Hi Phily !!.. Can you please do a video on Pace vs Cadence Vs Stride length pros /cons ..faster 5ks etc... Thx !!
Congrats, at the start when you said Chippenham I thought the mud might play havoc with your plans! Well done though 🎉
It certainly made it more technically challenging!
I watched the Failure (Ducks) video and now this one. Look forward watching more and have subscribed. well done. Have you done a drills video yet? I will check the list
Also ran my first Christmas Day parkrun this year. It turned out to be an anti-progressive run. Every Km slower than the last. Struggled for breath and everything else. It will come again. Well done on your effort Phily 👌
All done phily with WAA form
Park runs can be races if they want to or time trial or a fitness run or just getting out there and moving
So... does Sale's Sophie Wood have some competition for the parkrun course records around Manchester then? :)
Can't believe you didn't do "PB's Parkrun PB"
Funnily enough I said to someone at our Christmas Day parkrun, I was RD btw, how I'd love it if Philly Bowden came and ran here, Stevenage, and blew away the field in the run that's not a race of course. Now you've moved to Manchester I guess it's not on the cards.
17-29 is the current course record for ladies held by Annabel Gunmow, just saying, 74ft of elevation according to my Garmin too.
Hi Phily, maybe I missed on the previous video, but what olympic distance are you aiming for?
You should get " Go on Phily !!" patented. There's a fortune to be made in T shirts and Mugs.
cant believe i forgot this is yt and her 5 min intro yap could be skipped
I did my warm-up for Christmas Day parkrun wearing a Santa hat but overheated and didn't wear it for the run. I cannot run in hats!
@PhilyBowden, it would be great if you posted the kit you use under your videos. In particular, as someone who overheats quickly, the vented top looks great and I would be grateful if you would tell me what the make and model is so I can look for one. Thank you. #LoveTheGrind. Might even do a Christmas parkrun myself this year.
Did you get the course record? Only you said a Santa beat you? Either way great time! Outrageous speed well done! 👏
Try haigh park run over at Wigan possible the hardest part run in the UK
Amazing 😻
My Christmas run plans were thwarted by -13°C
Technically not a race but times are recorded and put on a leader board so yeah it's racing 🏁
Me and my belly is incapable of breaking a parkrun record.
Ginormous is a word
Well done on the course record! Clean air would be great, but we shouldn't dramatically reduce peoples quality of living to get there.
We shouldn't dramatically reduce people's quality of life in order to do perhaps the one things that would most dramatically IMPROVE their quality of life?
@@tobyk8125 People can't afford to heat their homes and are turning to eating pet food to survive. I'm not sure net zero is at the top of their list of priorities.
Got anything to back up those claims about pet food? Aldi sell human food cheaper than dog food, so it sounds like bollocks. Also how is signing a petition going to reduce people's quality of life?
Weather outside is weather is from Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Aha thank you! Knew it was a Will Ferrell quote! 😂
Why are asthmatics so good at running.
hi Phily 😊
👍👍
@8:30 . . . The only guy that beat her was wearing WHAT?
DO NOT GIVE UP RUNNING FOR A SINGING CAREER ok no offence lol and i like and use the word ginormous it works for me
As an asthmatic who drives (a hypocrite etc.) but if you want clean air driving to run isn't a great start. Local air quality issues outside of industrial areas are significantly correlated to emissions from cars (tailpipe, braking, tyres etc.). Signing things is easy, but we have to take individual as well as collective actions
I’ve put just over 10,000 mi (16,000 km) on my car since Aug 2019 (3+ years). That’s less than the yearly average I think. I love to car pool if possible, but also just don’t need to drive much with a remote job. Got the car back in my last year of college and could get basically everywhere on foot except the drive back to my hometown.
@@MrNoName7474 Yeah I work in transport myself, we are in some ways victims of our circumstances and the transport conditions around us. But we (including myself) can also be guilty of traveling just for variety, for example if people can cycle to either local park runs rather than drive for variety it's not a huge sacrifice. That said, we all can act inconsistently and having different circumstances, so solutions are complex
YAWN.
Agree🫡
Cry fat tears bo
So you want to drive like the rest of us, but you are calling to sign a petition for clean air, you need to take action in your own life and stop preaching to others to sign petitions that achieve nothing
Most of the pollution in the world is created from companies who completely disregard the climate crisis. The petition is to fight the climate crisis on a large scale, one person not driving will not help at all until governments and companies pull it together
A little awkward that you drove to and from parkrun (in a non-EV) whilst wearing New Balance (renown for their total disregard for the planet) for a paid #ad about clean air...
Creating less emissions than the new Jaguar I-Paces which spontaneously combusted on the M1 last month.
@@Stevenc1984 90-95% of a running/sport event's carbon footprint (e.g. parkrun) is from participant travel. As an athlete, travel is the largest part of our personal carbon footprints. So, yeah. Not great.
@@hells9466 I'll look forward to the Strava Olympics
@@Stevenc1984 love to hear you take the climate crisis seriously :D
The Ozone is fine, the polar ice caps are still there. People can't afford to heat their homes and are eating pet food to survive. What exactly is the crisis you are talking about?
Never understood these videos, I would rather watch someone go from 30 mins to 20 mins journey then some elite runner running fast and cherry picking a course PB she could beat
Don't watch it then! The clue is in the title of the video....... 😂
Surely you have something better to do than commenting on videos you dont like
🤦
I've never understood these types of comments. Instead writing something positive about the video or not even commenting at all. You write some random pathetic, negative comment.
As a male runner who'll never get anywhere near Phily's times, I still found plenty to enjoy in the video. The video did what it said in the title. I watched it and I enjoyed it. Presumably you read the title too, understood the content and then proceeded to watch despite knowing you wouldn't enjoy it? Kinda weird.
The clean air is nothing more than another tax on the public , are you getting soonsered by them ?
