My mind wanted to struggle during today's workout. I used your mantra: "I am an animal. I have a world class running economy." I know that last part is a lie, but fake it till you make it! Thanks for being a positive influence Scully. 🤘
Your videos are getting better and better and BETTER Stephen! It was a saturated market, runners on UA-cam but you've come in and gone to the top of that market. Youre different to any of the others and its a very good different. Thank you!
Training for Copenhagen in April, aiming to get into 3.30s, nothing like Olympic level but using your advice to get me through the "hard" parts ("this isn't hard, this is running, this is fun, it's not life and death") I fell on an easy run today, off on trails, tripped and literally ate dirt. Spat it out and kept going. That's a trivial inconvenience, as you say some people can't just step out the door and run.
Falling is a normal part of trail running for me. 😆 The actually eating dirt part is something though! I'd rather fall occasionally on trails than never fall on the roads.
When an athlete is showing you the truths, the facts, the good and the bad days, the psychology and the mental health side of a tough and gruelling process, you can only support them as much as the transparency which they are showing us in their videos… which for Scully is 100% - Thank you 🙏 keep up the great content! Here’s an idea for your next video: What’s the best way to train for a race which will be hilly? Let’s say a few small hills at the beginning and the middle, with a large hill towards the end. Ersin
After watching one of your videos, not so long ago, I thought, OK, that's the first time, when a runner's tips, approach, and a professional one, feels like my own experiences, which nobody, including coaches, could understand so far. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on training!
Loving the content - new to running and my goal was just to run 5km and has now moved to getting my time down to 30min and below. Mindset is what beats me up the most so the mental resilience and being kind to yourself is what is resonating the most with me as well as all of the great training tips. Loving following your journey to Paris mate - this Aussie will be cheering for the luck of the Irish when you get there.
🤯Love your response to that hypothetical question! 2:16-2:18 marathon one week from now! Amazing! My recent PR is 1 hour slower than that! 🤯 Inspirational though! Gives me motivation to keep improving!
I'm entering the final stages of my marathon build up (it's been a long one). Stumbled across your channel a month or so ago and made a few changes to my training as a result of watching it. Love the honesty and the realness of your videos
Thanks for sharing you knowledge and passion! How much do you standardise your diet in order to have reproducible results for lactate measurement? Carbohydrate intake (amount) and time gap of the last meal have a relatively strong influence on my lactate values.
for a future video could you go into depth about how to develop a massive aerobic base? what kind of workouts to include when planning the base phase? thanks
Great video, I have doubts right now. Just back from a run that was a shitshow, missed all my paces and felt like crap. How many bad runs do you tolerate before you worry about if you need to change something like diet or recovery?
Rule of thirds. 1/3 of your runs will be good. 1/3 will be meh. 1/3 will be rubbish. It’s completely normal. If you’re training hard enough you’ll have shit runs. It is what it is bro.
HI! STEPHEN! I am a SERIOUS High School athlete distance runner and every time I run a race (3200m) I feel like I am not giving 10000% in the race when I try when I finish a race I am not out of breath I just feel like I need to focus more and I need help to move my legs faster my coach said I need to work on my mind but how do I do it PLZZ help me u have a serious race on Feb 15
i catch a lot of your videos, and I'm not sure I've seen you do a trail run. You're in arizona, why wouldnt you do a trail run. Nature is a party, join it stephen.
Yesterday you could hear me shouting like a moron in the woods (steep uphill): "I AM AN ANIMAL!" ...might have scared some walkers, but I don't give a f.😆
It must be really easy to live off a green nutritional diet out in Hawaii, but over hear in the UK and its cold all I want is warm food and I can't live off jacket potatoes - what do you eat when you're back in Ireland

Love that mantra too!!
Could you talk about running on different terrains and the benefits? How often should we run on grass, trails or sand as opposed to concrete roads?
How much base training do professional runners do? What does it look like?
Your videos are getting better and better and BETTER Stephen! It was a saturated market, runners on UA-cam but you've come in and gone to the top of that market.
Youre different to any of the others and its a very good different.
Thank you!
That’s the plan “take over”
Brother this ain't running.. this is life saving guruism 🏆🙌

Without having Stephen Scullion as a personal coach, this is about as close as it gets via UA-cam. Gems.

You have to believe it’s possible, or it’s definitely not

Hope it goes really well
Looking strong and rested Scully
Excellent video Stephen, love your honesty
Awesome channel thanks for putting some great videos up, allowing us rookie runners to learn some skills ✅🙏🏃🏽♂️🌿👊🏼👣🥳
Totally LOVE your transparency and humble, honest way of sharing your running lifestyle. Thank you!
Fliping hell !! That's a great intro
First view from india 🎉. Great content Stephen. It’s really really motivating stuff !! First half marathon for me in 2 weeks 😬
Your like a breath of fresh air on here really relate to your videos 👍
Thanks for sharing you knowledge and passion!

Carbohydrate intake (amount)
and time gap of the last meal have a relatively strong influence on my lactate values.

Excellent- thanks Stephen
Love the inspirational intro .. perfect for a watch before a Saturday parkrun. Another great video. Thank you 😊
This is amazing!!
The Grind. Yesssssss💪🏃♂️❤️
Question for question time: I love David Goggins. Do you?
Training for London, brilliant video to motivate and fire up the brain. Thanks for spending your valuable time to make the rest of us better. 🤟👏👊
Awesome! Loved how you timed the answers.
Disliked the timing. Too distracting.
Great advice. I run 5x a week and in 5 different shoes (only 1 carbon fiber for LR day to protect legs). And various stack heights.
thx for the videos Stephen I look out for them everyday :)
Thank you for sharing!👍🫀🏃☕
Professional answers 😊👍🏻✌️
This intro is great - visuals, storytelling 👍
Another great video 🙌
Inspirasion for me to start run....🤗
That intro hyped me up for today's run 🏃
What the ten/tan thing you mention at 3.15 secs? I'm quite new to this world! My dads Irish so I really don't think its an accent problem

Another belting video 👍🏻👍🏻
Good content!
Are you checking lactate after every interval, or just at random?
Only once or twice in a session if needed

You need a mantra for the race.
Also practise pushing yourself mentally in training.
I try to push my self mentally in training but I don’t know why It’s hard to make my mind uncomfortable what should I do😭
60 to 80g of carbs per err, how many minutes in an err
Do what they won't, so you can do what they can't....
i catch a lot of your videos, and I'm not sure I've seen you do a trail run. You're in arizona, why wouldnt you do a trail run. Nature is a party, join it stephen.
Done a lovely trail run in Hawaii
Arizona trails have snow right now in flagstaff
Yesterday you could hear me shouting like a moron in the woods (steep uphill):
"I AM AN ANIMAL!"
...might have scared some walkers, but I don't give a f.😆

I absolutely cannot use foam rollers! They are like mini torture devices
I expected your last answer to be 2:30! You are such a prolific complainer!
Bad asd. I like it...most likes = answers...I get it. limited time = most likes....quamtity over quality, right... exactley what you preach😃
