- HELLO, HI, WELCOME!!!
I'm Emily, and I've built a community of almost 100k people talking about the joys of slow running. I'm currently training for the Brighton marathon in April.
I hope you enjoyed me chatting about my realistic running journey, and how I went from hating running to loving it.

Seeing you running happily on instagram and youtube has encouraged me to continue being a slow runner. (Now I am a slow half marathon runner.) Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Woo congrats on your half!
This video is just what I needed. I’m new to running and really enjoying it but find myself ashamed of my pace. I’m doing the damn thing, that’s what’s important. Thanks for the reminder!
A good runner is a happy runner.
Last night I saw plenty of slow runners completing 100 miles at my race… it’s always about the grit and the tenacity!❤
Love it 😍
Run/Walk has always been promoted by Jeff Galloway. I have 'Galloway's Book on Running' from the late 80s/ early 90s and he discusses it at length. Most of my longer runs employ some short walk breaks to reset the legs (and let my dog catch her breath, lol) 😊
I started with couch to 5km from never ever running and saying "I cant run" but wanted the challenge. I achieved it, I couldn't believe the first time i ran solidly for 20 minutes. I didn't know the pace, was just focused on actually doing it! I then did a few 5kms and struggled a lot, so didn't run for 6 months. Last summer when it was nice I just wanted to run along the beach. I didn't check my distance and went so slow. For the first time ever, I realised I wasn't out of breath and was just enjoying the view and the sun. I loved it! It was the best run i have ever done, and it was 7km (!!!!!! I was thrilled) and my pace was 8:30kmph. That was when I realised I can love running if i take my time. Now i'm doing my first half in May and I cannot wait! My goal is to do it and thats it. Love your insta, love your youtube :)
Ahhh amazing, the power of just slowing down is crazy ❤️❤️ good luck with your first half!
I also did a cross-country event in school. Came second last (purely because I sprinted the last bit, just so I wouldn't be last). Afterwards, I felt so bad. I only did 100m and this showed me that I couldn't use the same strategy. Can run 10k well now, so it's all about learning and training as you get older. Great to hear about your running journey. Running slow rocks! =D
Good luck Emily!! Followed the journey and you and the slow running group on Strava kept me going while I trained for my first half. Enjoy Sunday and celebrate all the hard work you’ve done. I’m on the Runna recovery plan at the minute and it’s so good. Good luck again 😊💫
Thank you so much!!!!
Finally all caught up, and going to watch your marathon video one more time. Well done!! Really enjoyed your journey and looking forward to any future videos you make.
Thank you SO much from watching start to finish :)
Awesome effort getting this far into your training and being so close to your first marathon.
When I fronted my first Marathon I was met by a Spartan Marathon Runner who is someone who's run 10+ Marathons at the Melbourne Marathon Festival.
He gave me this piece of advice that I've told everyone when they're going for something like this (can apply it to any race distance)
"Don't run your first half like an idiot and also don't run your second half like a coward"
It can help you get through once you've hit that half way point and start to feel overwhelmed.
Stay strong, you've got this.
I love this advice!!!! Will be taking this into my marathon. Thank you
@@Runswithemily Awesome to hear !!!, wishing you all the best
You inspired me to get a Salomon running vest- I even found a female cut version and LOVE IT 🎉 I've tried several others before, and this is just simply the best. Thank you! ❤
Yay I’m so glad!!
Such a refreshing inspiration! Good spirits for the marathon!
Yay! Thank you!
Good luck Emily!!!
You've got this!
Thank you 😀
Good luck on the marathon! Looking forward to hearing how it went! :)
Thanks so much!
Love this laid back video!
Thank you ❤️
We have the same mug! Love this video, thank you for being so open ❤️
Haha I love that
Been a very wet start to the year. Still great to get out into the fresh air and clean out the soul. Best wishes on the next adventure!
Thanks!
You are so refreshing and real xxx
Thank you ❤️
Hi Emily. I am also a slow runner and had suffered of that too and its just so right to run slow or run/walk to accomplich a longer run that it is to run dead fast. Why should everyone sprint and try to run a marathon i under two hours or three hours and get sick -throw up -get heat-stroke and severe damage to the body. No enjoy your running and run as You can - not as all the other youtubers fight to do and if they dont see them crying or just being an excuse of themselves. Who on earth say that running slower is wrong ?? I got ostoporosis and got a stomi and I am 60 years young now and I am preparing for a half marathon in october. I think I can run a finish time in 2.50 or 3 hours and so that is. I am a completer not a competer. Inga DK.
I’m so excited to tackle London!
Excited for you!!!
Good luck next week at the Marathon ! 2:42 half marathoner here, i have entered quite a few races 10ks and half marathons over the next few months , my first half i was on a beginner plan and now i am on a advanced onr so interested to see if my times improve 😂
Thanks 🫶🏻 oooo exciting good luck with your races!
Love love love love love

A lot of this resonates with me, even the cross-country flop, haha… Best of luck with Brighton!
Thanks so much!
Maybe see you in Brighton - my first marathon too. Let’s go!!! 😊
Woooooooooo!!!!!
There is also the option to get into trail running at some point.
I’m actually trying my first trail run later this month!
Amazing video. Good luck to you. Fellow runner here 😊
