What ever happens Steven your a f******* legend for helping us all out with ALL your content. I’ll be cheering for ya in London!
Well done Stephen, what ever the outcome, you've made a big impact on a whole community of us who watch your content. That's worth a lot.
Whatever happens my man, just remember to be proud of yourself for changing people's lives and motivating/educating them into being better runners. Your videos help me a ton, I know I'm not the only one here. Your openness and transparency, your ability to be tough on yourself while also being reasonably accountable and no "down" on yourself...these are things that we pick up as viewers. We see your work and your journey, and we try to relate that to our own non-professional running journey. Your ability to convey thoughts and ideals in a relatable manner, is so crucial for your audience.
I also run 5:15 like Stephen. Only difference is I use minutes per kilometer. 😅
If you can do that for a full marathon that’s still a great pace 💪
@@Rickogg94🤔🤔🤔😬
@@Tritiuminducedfusion what’s on your mind?
Me too. Though I think I will play it save and do 5:45/km instead. VFM in july. Scared as hell. Lol.
@@iqbal4625 5:45 will take you slightly over 4 hours which is still great!
Watched Prague Half Marathon recording today where they still announced you as the starter but commentator knew you wouldn’t be starting - then proceeded to talk about how much he would have loved to see you there. Can’t wait to watch London🤞the way you keep your mind in check is something I am trying to remember every day in training, that level of self-awareness is impressive, thank you for sharing this much.
Next time
It's my firm belief that you are going to smash it in London. More power to you, Sir.
I did my first half marathon on Sunday, 1:50. Love your videos and tips. Thank you. Go kick ass in London!
There's thousands of us rooting for you who will all be with you in spirit on the day. You've put the hard work in and now it's time to collect the result on race day!
You must fight savagely against yourself , I'd imagine.
Never run that distance though
You did it in Dublin. You can absolutely do it in London. Believe. Settle into your own groove. Stick at it. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing that. I have recently been sick and my fitness took a big dip. Felt terrible because what I worked for was taken away from me without anything wrong I did. But your philosophy and attitude really helped me to get back on track. I'm still not fully back but I have 9 weeks to work on before my big race of the year. Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your thoughts with all of us
Stephen, I will do my Usual Sunday long run on the Day before London Marathon just so that I can relax and hopefully see you go under 2:09 , best of luck on the day, even it's pissing rain , remember all those rainy days you trained in growing up , it's your superpower
Running London as well as a fund raiser. Not fast but steady. Thanks for these great videos. educational and inspirational. Cheers!
Man you truly are incredible. Appreciate how genuine and honest you are about training and how you’re feeling.
Love the insight. Love the honesty. Thanks, as always, for sharing. And all the best for London!
Go Stephen. You wear your heart on your sleeve and run with emotion. All the best.
I’m running in London and hoping to get under 3h. Wish you all the best Stephen. Your videos have helped me in the last few weeks and I wish I’d found them sooner
What I love about these videos isn’t the amazing physical capacity you have for hard work, it’s the mental side of it all, deal with it, get through it, it’s ment to hurt. The best advice I ever heard. It just is, accept it, deal with it, keep moving. Best of luck tomorrow, smash it
Best of luck for London- enjoy your videos- and your attitude- and thank you for taking us along your journey- such a help to others. 💪👍
"The fitter you get, the harder you can push". Great quote. I'm hoping to break 3 at London. I can't wait to scream you on as I run down towards the Ilse of dogs as you're coming up on Embankment. Have a great race Stephen, you got this 👍
It’s great to hear an elite athlete talk about the ups and downs of running, people only talk about the positives of running but iv been running for 30 years and out of every six runs three will not go as planned and result in me beating myself up it took me a long time to realise that you. Can’t control everything on running days and the days I’m not reading feeling it I end up smashing my run and then days were I’m excited and feeling great my run goes to shit.
Thank you for reminding us all that we need to just enjoy the process and best of luck I hope everything falls into place for the marathon 👍🏻
Great tips and insight here. Thanks for another super video Stephen. Best of luck in London
Keep up the positive self-talk, it’s gonna be your day in London! I believe in you! 💪
All the best Stephen for upcoming London Marathon, have fun and a blast finish across whole 26.2 miles!💪💪💪
Thanks for another great video! Love your insight on the marathon training and how life fits in. Would love some gear with your “it’s just another Sunday” on it 🙌🏼
From faraway Brooklyn I’m rooting so hard for you it’s insane. You’re an inspiration. Thanks for don’t what you do.
"Campaign" -- love it! I wish you luck, Stephen, and remember: Luck is the residue of design. 😉🤟🏃♂🏆
Brilliant Stephen best of luck, love how honest you are. I ran the London Landmarks half on Sunday and I utilised so much of the information you have given, it definitely makes it more enjoyable when you're prepared 😊
You got this dude! Will be rooting for you!
Thank you for another brilliant video Stephen. Thoroughly inspiring. Go smash London: you’ve got this!! 💪🏃🏻♂️
It's comforting to know that even elites are sometimes made to think of running as some sort of black magic
We're all cheering for you, Scully!
I rarely comment on videos but a massive THANK YOU for all the content! Your honesty, humility and care for other athletes as a professional is second to none. If your race goes to Sh*t this weekend, at least we'll all be rooting for you along the way.
We are all rooting for you - I’ll be watching giving some support on course
Will be watching for you. This is so real and inspirational. Recreational pace but got a 20 miler myself planned 2 weeks before a marathon on sunday at 0530 hours.. yes let's go 👊
That thing about the effort put into to running not always paying off. I felt that. In the past I've always over trained. Running too hard or too much for my current level. I always got to where I was happy with what I could do and then I'd regress. So I'd add more hill runs or more distance - giving to running so it'd give me what I wanted. It never worked. I finally realized that either I go slow and steady or I'll fail. My fitness is horrible, but I'm going slow and steady. It's much harder mentally than giving everything you've got. It's easier for me to run fast enough to vomit or run long enough to making walking hurt than it is to do an easy run and feel like I could do it again when I'm done. However, that's what I need so that's what I'm doing. Anyway, that point really resonated with me.
Well done mate. Amazing video. Wishing you all the best in London. You're a champion!
Absolutely loved this video!
You are the best !! Thank you once again for all your insight. I am looking forward to hear about London. I just bought the T-shirt you were wearing in the video :-)
please keep this content going. It’s amazing.
Best luck to London! Amazing and really inspiring content in your videos. Thanks!
Love your mental space. I think confidence and a little bit of trepidation is the perfect mix. Go get ‘em sir. If nothing else, you’ve helped me reach new heights. My wins are your wins. Keep up the great work.
Love your channel - you’ve taught me so many amazing nuggets that I’ve incorporated into my marathon block this cycle that have 100% made me a much stronger runner, so thank you for consistently inspiring us!!
I also am interested to hear how you are going to change your footwear choice, or what to do when you realize that maybe shoes you’re wearing are causing blisters or discomfort close to race day. How do you pivot so that the same thing doesn’t happen during the race? I’m not sure if you already have this video, but would love your take on how/when to test out race day shoes in the marathon block and how to make an adjustment if you’re not loving the footwear choice as you approach the race. Also dealing w this w Boston 5 days away 😅 good luck in London, you’re going to crush it 🎉
Best of luck in London Stephen! I’ll see you there! I’m aiming for my first sub3 and really appreciate all of your videos. Great content and great tips! Thank you👌
Love it. Keep fighting, and I’ll be cheering from the middle of the ocean. Qualify or not, stand proud.
Great running Stephen. Thank you for the great content. I'll be praying for you for London.
Good luck in your race. Great channel. @10:16 - I get this feeling after I've had 2 coffees before my long run lol
I love your content...so relatable despite the fact that I'm shooting for a much more humble personal goal (3hrs 30 marathon). I'm really learning how complicated and special a marathon is, so many factors that contribute to a 'good' time. I've put a lot of thought into my own training experimentation beyond the basic type of programme that has worked for me in the past but running can very cruel with your performance not always reflecting your input. You're so honest and hard working mate and I've got so much value out of your content. Really hope you get what you deserve in London mate 👍
Great video! Good luck in London!💪
Good luck in London, hope everything lines up for you and you get the result you have trained for 🎉
Lots of success!/ Viel Erfolg! from Germany. Gonna be watching and dotwatching and pressing my thumbs for you. Whatever the outcome we middle-of-the-pack runners and rather bussing behind ones like me need your honest insights and advice. Like, I closely watched your warm-up routine footage and have deffo taken bits away from it. Hope I haven't infringed any copyrights :-). good luck!
Fantastic content as always
Good luck Stephen! I'm there next weekend spectating, I'll keep an eye out for you!
Stay strong, trust the process and focus on the small things. You’ll do amazing and everyone here will be proud no matter the result. All love from Australia 🇦🇺
Wishing you the very best for London. Hope it all comes together on the day. You deserve it.
I subscribed to this channel because I could tell from the first video that you have a winner’s mentality you’re gonna crush it
Absolute legend. LETS GOOOO!
You make 5:16 look medium effort and easy. Form great. Stride powerful. Amazing
Fantastic content, inspiring! Nail that olympic ticket!
Thank you for these Stephen! just over two weeks before I attempt a 2:55 in Eugene!
Wishing you all the best in London!
So proud of you! I predict an amazing PB in London for you!🤞
We're rooting for you mate.
You’re such a beautiful soul! I wish you all the best in London 🎉
Man, there is really endurance knowledge in your thougths, only living this to know how important is hold your body after hard and long sessions in order to return to quality training.
Good luck Stephen, you certainly have done everything you can. Just another Sunday!
Best of Luck Stephen.
I think it keeping you in check. Don't get over confident. Keep pushing. I think it was just a reminder. Stay positive , always look forward.
10 days remain. It was inspiring to watch your journey and progress. Wishing you the best.
F@@king get it man, You got this!!!
Well that's the thing, I don't actually enjoy racing, too many things can go wrong for one day, but I enjoy running and even training.
Elite mindset, will be tracking on marathon day best of luck 💪
Best of luck for London!
This has got me pumped for London 💪🏼
Philly Bowden said the other day - when running a marathon sometimes you need to get out of your head and into your body.
Yes you have invested so much in your preparation for London. But you HAVE done the work. London will be another day in the office for you. Just another Sunday. You can do another Dublin. Best wishes from Australia 😁
10 days out! Scary stuff! You got this 💪
Thank you!
Looking forwards to sharing the course with you Steve! About 40 mins behind all being well 😂
You got this Stephen. The hay is in the barn now you can withdraw from the pain bank that you’ve been filling g for months for this race ❤❤❤
Go get it baby!
Great video informative
You got this!
You got it, go crush it.
absolute legend...
Love these videos some great humour and total honesty no bullshit just reality…looking back now that London is over Stephen do you think you may have peaked about 3/4 weeks before and the big longrun 2 weeks out was on the downside of the peak…who am I to say just a thought after watching every video you ever made…
I think the long runs hurt me more than they helped perhaps.. body was always very sore after these and around mile 4/5 in london I was already physical feeling tiredness, soreness.
@@stephenscullion262 ok…hard to put your finger on it …it would wreak my head to find out the cause and I’m only a mediocre runner…but same principles apply…was following Marc scott progress aswell 3 weeks before London runs 63 mins then last few mile in London slipped to 2.11 and was hoping for 2.08…I feel from doing races when get to 4 weeks out and feeling unbelievable I decide to take foot off the gas as not to peak too soon and just keep fresh it’s next to impossible not to hammer it 🤣…but just feel if you can discipline yourself and keep putting brakes on come race day you let rip…the science says no benifit from 2/3 weeks out doing hard sessions…
I watch all your videos and have learned so much from them…ps I’ll buy a t-shirt 👕 🤣😎👍
LETS GO BRO
Scully try silicone toe bunion protectors. I play soccer and get blisters in same spot. The bunion protectors work. They just need to be foam taped. Equate sells them and they are inexpensive.
Doing something to win and doing something not to lose is not the same thing.
I take Scully's advice and run with it to win. A competition mind is a mind that will cause you to lose, for you do not focus on yourself but on competing.
Challenging yourself and competing with yourself are two different things. When you challenge yourself, you have fun, but when you compete against yourself/others, you lose the mindset which inevitably makes you lose overall because you're training and running not to lose.
I probably bought the first T-shirt! ;)
Crush it Brothah, you’re a Beast
I moved my long run from Sunday to Monday 🤦♂ But it went great!
I hope you have a brilliant race. I hope you beat your dublin time
Champion!
I have 40 weeks to training for a marathon. I have been training for about 6 months and have ran two half marathons. How should I use these 40 weeks train for running my fastest possible marathon?
I was thinking of either working through a 40 week long block of marathon focused training or using the first 20 weeks to improve my 10k then the last 20 weeks for marathon focused training.
Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Saludos desde mexico 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Watching this, I'm saying to myself, "What is today's occasion, and I'll raise to it!"
Just another Sunday will buy a shirt sir.
Wise to skip Berlin. Too hot. None, none of my buddies reached their A-goals. Would be a downer for me before a race.
It looks fast and easy!!! Portugal the best!!!! 😀
Hope to see you there lol 😂
STEPHEN. Work is done now you have to recover and switch your mind off. That long run will be in your system probably 7-10 days but it’s the mental fatigue that will matter. Just relax man. Just another run in London
