I feel your pain. I was so close to having to run a 3000 for exactly that reason. I was there to throw shot! Thankfully someone else stepped up in time.
I'm a cranky, old bat now, but even at my best I was never a runner, throwing events were my jam, though I did get thrown in the cross country teams, which I hated! I do love watching you run though. It's awesome seeing the behind the scenes of distance running and watching you constantly improve. You rock milady! 🤘
Nice win Phily, great sprint finish. Last time I ran a 1500m was 43 years ago aged 15, in a time of 4:19. You're right about going out hard, just a tiny bit behind the lactate threshold. A common session was 20 x 200m x 30secs with a job back recovery. Good luck on the next one.
I’ve always wondered if marathon runners can transfer or substitute endurance for shorter track events etc etc. I remember reading about Emile Zatopek the great Olympic runner from the past, who won gold in 10k, 5k and the marathon at the same Olympics . Amazing
Congrats on the PB! Crazy that you go all in that often. I think I never did anything so fast that I almost threw up. Luckily my lungs and/or legs go first and save the rest of the body from that ;-) Maybe I should try your chill speed to get that experience 🤯
I enjoyed this video and your race. Thank you. Also, as a person with a full-time job, I am in awe of your ability to work and run at such a high level.
Just like with the marathon, a 1500PB is all about even splits: 34, 68/69, 2:18, 3:27 and go nuts for less than a minute more. You can do it (my PB happens to be 4:19, I was lucky to have a friend pace to 1000)
Awesome performance. The best times we ever managed were 4:42 (John roped in to a track and field meeting for his club several years ago) and Dawn 6:07 as a F57 when running multiple events for her club (3000m, javelin and a 4x400m relay).
Well done I am doing my 10k race half marathon at colchester stampede zoo on Sunday 14th May I am feeling postivie and confident and I been going to the gym like 4 or 5 days weeks Keep myself fit and eating healthy i cant wait.
On 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! Congrats!!!! I might have to try your race hair hack! My hair doesn’t seem to like tempos🤣did the last 1.5km today with hair annoying flopping round, 1/2 up, 1/2 down🤣 Speaking of “guess who’s back, back again”, love “loose yourself” as a pre race vibe!!! Also love “whatever it takes” Imagine Dragons!
This was awesome! Congrats on the PB/win!! I don't know how you guys sleep without ac, the wet flannel is a good tip! I'm a super light sleeper, I know as a kid I used to sleep without ac, but I don't know how I did it. Probably: not well.
Can you do a vid talking about the various shoes you use for running? I only have a pair of trainers, but I know people have certain shoes they like to use for speed workouts or races, etc. How did you choose the shoe you use? Are there standard classes of shoe for certain workouts, like people use X, Y, or Z typically for hills?
@@dannyg2495 You’re welcome. Sometimes a snippet of music grabs you, especially on Instagram & you just have to track it down. In a similar vein, you might like ‘Flashback’ by Jeff Kaale. I believe it’s another free to use mixed up sample on a loop.
You had us all convinced, including yourself, that you weren't so great at 1500m distance, and then you went and won it! 😄👍🏻🏃♂️ Well done, Phily. It seems like being so close to 4:20 has you feeling keen to go again asap 😁
Better tip. Wet your t-shirt and turn the fan on. Funny whilst your having a heatwave we on the East coast of Australia are having the coldest winter in most of our lifetimes. 1 degree celcius in Melbourne the last 2 mornings. Had to hose ice of the windscreen yesterday! Not keen on that. My hands were frozen holding the hose.
Haha swap??? Tip for the windscreen.. leave a sheet out on your window and then you can remove it and remove the ice! Or de-icer but I doubt you have much of that in Oz!
4:21 is pretty decent for someone who is not a middle distance runner!! Shows you have a terrific base. Imagine what you would do with some sharpening speedwork :)
Ps congratulations on ur Pb !! Ps I do that aswell but with a bath sheet !! ….. no I don’t …… I drape a cold wet flannel over my back works a treat ! X
As much as it’s out of your comfort zone, I think you should consider doing more of these shorter races. It would improve your foot speed and help you feel more comfortable at faster paces in longer races.
Smart race....go out relaxed towards the back and pick off runners to give you momentum....I always like the 880 yards run the best for that reason.....but but coach liked me in the 440 all-out hard die run.
Wow great stuff Phily! And with a paper bag pinned to you. Is that the cheapest ar*e bib you've ever seen ?😝👍 Enjoy the heat over there u guys. It's winter here in Oz. Can't wait for the heat again to thaw out!
Phily you are a pro. Try to imitate your cadence for 1km (downhill 🙂) is all what I have. You can run double as fast and further as me. Like your videos ceep it on greetings from Germany.
Just adding in some volume to the week as otherwise I would only have done one smaller (tapered) session and one short race as the hard effort for the week. Adding it on at the end rather than having a third hard day and keeping the hard days hard
Wow, you're adorable. Congrats on the PB. £1.50 is expensive? I can't remember the last time I paid under $2 for a cup of coffee here in the South (United States). Good luck. Subbed
The perfect distance for a speed session, if your training for a marathon. 1500m is an out and out sprint on the track, perfect for building speed endurance for longer race distances.
Dang.. Even though you missed out on breaking 4:20, that closing speed was intense. 4:19 was my PB and there's no way I could have pulled out that kind of speed. Fun to watch!
Hey Philly, I've always wondered how long breathing stays fast after you finish running as you were still breathless talking to camera post-race, or was that after your victory lap?
Definitely not after a victory lap haha, it depends, I find that all out races like this leave you breathless for a good couple of minutes.. usually I dramatically lay down before talking to anyone but not on this occasion 😂
You ran 4:20 with absolutely no event specific preparation. You had a good run in a tactical UK 5000 championships. Why are you even thinking about a marathon? You clearly have massive potential at track distances (already a GB vest this year) and remember that just inside 15 minutes got into the World Champs 5000 final. With a winter's training geared to the middle distances on the track you could be in the UK team for next year's championships.
Appreciate the praise, but I also ran a great first debut marathon time this year and my rankings in the Uk for the 10k and Mara put me higher than my 1500 and 3000, I think I’m better suited to the longer stuff but still think it’s important to test myself over the shorter distances so I can finish fast
I have had to run the 1500m and 800m at sports day 2 years in a row because they were the longest races and not many people wanted to do them. Thankfully never again
Needing a soaking wet towel to get through a "hot" night because it's 28 degrees C (82 F), as I watch this video from Phoenix, Arizona where it's currently 48 degree C (118 F). It won't cool down to 28 C until sometime in late November. But very nice running. Good form and mental strength as well.
I've been in Arazona over the summer and i can definitely say, the heat is completely different over here and we're just not prepped for the heat at all over here. The weather outside of winter is lucky to get past 10°C and rainy most of the year 😂.
Eh, it’s all relative! I’m guessing the buildings in Arizona aren’t build like the Victorian terrace I live in that’s made to retain every little bit of heat? Hope you have AC - 42 is no joke, we had that yesterday (hottest day ever recorded in the UK).
@@PhilyBowden Oh no! The air conditioner went out at this apartment (flat) a few weeks ago and I had to go three weeks without it. Miserable. I don't wish that on anyone, even for an hour or two. Maybe it's time for a tub of cold water beside the bed with multiple flannels.
Curious as to why you choose to drive (as in you do the driving, not asking about why you dont use the bus/train) to events when not solo? I am very far from an elite athlete but regularly travel over 60 mins for my matches and whilst we share driving round the team most people prefer to be a passenger if they can. I feel passenger has less mental stress and don't worry about little niggles like issues with back or hamstring that come from driving.
@@PhilyBowden I actually love the method you use! It’s very secure thank you. Personally I need some pins to really hold it, but it’s way more secure than my past methods.
I once had to run the 200 just to grab some free points at a track meet in High School. It felt like a long-distance run! I normally threw Javelin.
i had to run the 100 relay ( i did shotput and javelin)
I feel your pain. I was so close to having to run a 3000 for exactly that reason. I was there to throw shot! Thankfully someone else stepped up in time.
3 inch spikes, steady on dan 😂
He’s more of an ice pic kinda guy 😂
Your videos have better production value than a lot of considerably longer standing channels. I think you will go far! Great vids. Keep it up
Ah thank you so much! Spread the word 😉

Holy crap your kick is amazing. You zoomed past her
I love the vibes Philly gives it must be so good to be around
Smashed it Phily. You looked so rapid to finish. Definitely should have put those milkshake close-ups as the opening... would've lured us all right in

After all the marathons and racing and the thousands of miles of training you still go to MaccyD's!!
A proper down to earth lady, brilliant.
Haha thanks Ian
However the faster the run the more painful. That's why I like marathons. Shorter races hurt alot. So glad to hear you're doing another marathon.
This is so true!!
Hydro flask straw lid is literally life changing. Highly recommend
Oooh I’ll have to try! But don’t think I can get them in the UK 🥲

Thanks Jason!

Ps congratulations on ur Pb !! Ps I do that aswell but with a bath sheet !! ….. no I don’t …… I drape a cold wet flannel over my back works a treat ! X
28 in Australia is a great temperature. It’s lovely and warm.
I’m sure it is, it’s all relative though.. we’re used to slightly different temps 😂
As much as it’s out of your comfort zone, I think you should consider doing more of these shorter races. It would improve your foot speed and help you feel more comfortable at faster paces in longer races.
Love to see this!!
Nooice! Congrats on PB and a win!
You should do what folks in my state do when it is hot. They pitch a tent in the garden and sleep there at night.
That sounds awful, what about the mosquitos?!
A cracking race Phily.
Congratulations on the win and PB! Is there any sort of prize for winning a race like that?
No prize money no, just the sweet feeling of success 😉

Good coffee in the states costs around £2.12 and up. Bad coffee is usually half of that but not always.
Hi Phily , congrats on win. Seems like you ran the perfect race.
What was the reason behind the two mile" high steady" run post race ?
Just adding in some volume to the week as otherwise I would only have done one smaller (tapered) session and one short race as the hard effort for the week. Adding it on at the end rather than having a third hard day and keeping the hard days hard
Loving the content you put out. Which Marathon you about to begin training for? I’ve been considering Malaga, do you know anything about it?
Congrats on the win. Those races were very fast.
You forgot to include Dan's fun run?
Haha luckily for us all he was joking, if I ever convince him to actually run you’ll all know about it!
Wow, you're adorable. Congrats on the PB.

you need to put a digital clock according to your race shots , that would be awsome adn it isnt that hard. Just giving a tip.
