Running a marathon has always been on my bucket list for the longest and seeing your outline for how you were able to do it is so inspiring! I’m rooting for you Holly! 🥳🙏🏽
Pleased to hear your running the London Marathon again I think you did really well last year and with as great time. That`s how I came across your channel, I am a keen but old runner but love looking for stuff on UA-cam to do with running, it sounds to me your really on the ball with your diet and nutritional intake, your training plan sounds good and following the same one as last year makes sense seeing as you did so well bar the Achillies issue. That might not be down to any thing you did but just bad luck on the day. I found for me that running on empty as in before breakfast suited me but we are all different and I have never done a Marathon. I look forward to following your vlogs and just carry on talking about your training and nutrition. Good luck.
Holly whatever you do please please make sure you hydrate and regulate yourself throughout. As i dont think any of us want a repeat of last years. Best of luck x
I like your life motto i.e to compete with yourself. We should all compete with ourselves rather than with others to avoid peer pressure and stress. Love you Holly❤️
Yes, Holly can run the London Marathon again. Good to start the training again. I would love 😍 to run for the London Marathon but it would mean having to travel from Scotland to London probably the day before the London Marathon and then after a few days of recovery in London traveling back to Scotland. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💕 Holly.
from a chronically ill person im living through ur vids haha!! , i absolutely love watching marathon running i look forward to seeing u running whoohooo!!!
Hello Holly!! So good you are running it again! I ran the half marathon in Athens this march and now I have started training for the authentic marathon of Athens in mid November! I am very happy for your future videos since this year we are going to train at the same time for the same purpose!! Fingers crossed we avoid all injuries! 😊🎉
Wow! 3.37 is impressive. Well done you! I've been lucky enough to get a London place this year. I'm just hoping for under 5 hours. Did Manchester in 5.11 so only 12 mins to knock off. haha. See you there!
omg yesssss I will see you there then 😉 getting to that finish line is an achievement in itself!! I think you can run a sub 5 though - you’ve got this 😏
i really fell off the running waggon during summer last year and again this early spring due to first the heat and my job, then now my mental health. i know its good for me so i really wanna get back into the habit of getting out, atleast twice a week for something minor to build the habit again. you have inspired me to go get it
As being a person living in hot n humid climate having temperature above 113 degrees, dehydration is common. Firstly do not chug water at a time rather drink in intervals. You can also use a mixture of sugar/salt, water and lemon for hydration. Also you must continue eating fruits with more water conc and the coconut water. This is something we do normally and cheers to another marathon holly!
omg! some fresh NB Fuelcell Elite 2... you should deffo run in them on the marathon day (and maybe 1-2 longruns before). They have a carbon plate and give you free seconds! much more responsive and bouncy, and also as much cushioning as the freshfoams.
I’m training for the Dublin city marathon in October and was panicking about balancing marathon training around the schedule of a new job I’ve recently started, so I was so happy to see you uploaded this video! You inspired me to sign up for the marathon in the first place so I’m so excited and inspired to do my best and give it my all 🙌❤️ Could I ask where you got your running headband, it looks like the perfect style to hold back hair and also cover ears to keep AirPods in? Thanks in advance ❤️
The tight calfs would explain the trouble you've experienced with your achilles tendon. You gotta rest and recover properly between runs or your achilles may get worse. And just for additional information, it's no longer referred to as tendonitis. The term "itis" refers to inflammation and tendons don't have an inflammation process. So now it's called Tendonopathy. Incase anyone cares. Take care holly, best of luck with your marathon adventure.
that’s what my physio says! I’m glad to have professional support and thank you for clarifying! I knew the terms were different but couldn’t quite it work out 🤓
I highly recommend Maurten gels. You take them every 6k and they work a treat. They don’t have different flavours and they are a unique kind of unset jelly texture. They are brilliant though!! See you on the start line! 😊👌
Holly, if you want to run the marathon again, just go and do it! I do not run and I will never want to run marathons because they could put a huge strain on my body. I prefer to walk, dance, swim, and work out in the gym.
Good luck with marathon training. Maybe check out Tailwind Nutrition. It dissolves in water and has all energy and electrolytes you need during your run.
Have you thought about barefoot running before? It’s supposed to help with your running form. You don’t have to do it all the time but for me it really helped. I started with only doing it every now and then but now I’ve been barefoot running for nearly 2 years straight.
I travel with the one pair of trainers usually salomon trail running shoes as they go well with the amount of walking i do plus i can hike and run off road with them. What i do is just wash them by soaking them in a bucket with washing powder then letting them dry in the sun or under a radiator as nobody likes smelly trainers especially in hostels and afterwards they become so clean and smell so nice. I reckon if you get the Nike alphafly next % as your race shoes you could break 3 hours......do it i believe in you.
Hey Holly I'm tryna do a research project for college on "modelling tumour growth". It's a biomathematics (applied math) project but I left bio after 10th grade and am doing specialization in math. Do you think you could help me in any way as to how to approach the subject again specially for the project topic?
Hey Holly, do you have a link for the improver training plan? I can’t seem to find it and would like to follow it. I’m currently training for my first marathon in Sydney but just been increasing my running distance every week. I would really like to improve my pace and challenge myself
oooo this sounds really good actually! do you have any recommendations? I’ve been trying my new new balance ones and they seem to have a higher drop for starters!
@@HollyGabrielle I ran in vaporflys they are 4mm and got an ankle injury but it affected my achilles. I run in saycony which is 10mm I think mizunos are 10mm too! Xx
Definitely Holly! Would be great to see you go for it again, you did great with the first. My partner is training for her first marathon in a couple weeks in Brighton and your first marathon video has been a great insight 👍
Running a marathon has always been on my bucket list for the longest and seeing your outline for how you were able to do it is so inspiring! I’m rooting for you Holly! 🥳🙏🏽
ahh thank you so so much!! and I truly believe that if you want something in life and you work hard, anything is achievable 😉🤩💚✨
@@HollyGabrielle hows the training been holly , only a few days to the big day

Overuse injury to the Achilles tendon leads to inflammation of the Achilles tendon, ie- Achilles tendinitis.
Love your running and workout vlogs! ❤️
Wish you good luck with your next Marathon race. I hope to run my third marathon race next years and that I run faster than the two other races.
third marathon oooo that’s so exciting!! where are you running?
@@HollyGabrielle I Will run in Stockholm Sweden. But I hope to run The London Marathon ones in my life time .
3.37 on a bum a achilles is impressive! I know u will blow that time away this year 😁Can’t wait good luck Holly🏃♀️

You should really try the brand hoka. Their running shoes are really good!

Bex is running London marathon! See you there!
oooo yes see you there 😌😏
I would love to see a "training diary" :)
I know that sun going in and out thing - it sends the autoexposure into a crazed frenzy!! That’s what happens to me. I also have the G7x mark ii.

I need to look into the alphafly trainers as I hear about them a lot 😅
So Holly.... tonight I tried getting up on the bosu but How On Earth do you get up on that thing? 😂 I was ridiculous
Hi Holly! This is a really random question but where did you get your chair that you use at your desk! Thank you!
it’s from ikea 😉😌
Hey Holly
I'm tryna do a research project for college on "modelling tumour growth". It's a biomathematics (applied math) project but I left bio after 10th grade and am doing specialization in math.
Do you think you could help me in any way as to how to approach the subject again specially for the project topic?
If you can afford Holly as a tutoring bussiness called Holly Gemia or theirs her youtube channel ByHollyG
I can definitely help out! feel free to fill out a form for HollyGemia on my website 😌
Hey Holly, do you have a link for the improver training plan? I can’t seem to find it and would like to follow it. I’m currently training for my first marathon in Sydney but just been increasing my running distance every week. I would really like to improve my pace and challenge myself
maybe it’s not on the website anymore! do you have Instagram? if so I can send it to you on there if you message me / I can send it as an email!
I qualified for Boston woop woop💪
holly see for your achiilles , try a shoe with higher drop like 10mm!
oooo this sounds really good actually! do you have any recommendations? I’ve been trying my new new balance ones and they seem to have a higher drop for starters!
@@HollyGabrielle I ran in vaporflys they are 4mm and got an ankle injury but it affected my achilles. I run in saycony which is 10mm I think mizunos are 10mm too! Xx
Get a flipbelt to replace your bum bag!
Don't overtrain this time, sweetie.
Hi
Definitely Holly! Would be great to see you go for it again, you did great with the first. My partner is training for her first marathon in a couple weeks in Brighton and your first marathon video has been a great insight 👍
so glad it was useful!!! and I wish your partner the best of luck 🙌🏻 training is tough but definitely worth it 😉
