Unlocking My 1500m Potential with THESE 6 Goals
มุมมอง 3.4Kวันที่ผ่านมา
2025 will be a massive year, but before we even get to the 2025 track season, I need to get through the winter block first. Every year for as long as I can remember, I have injured myself getting back into training, but this year, I am determined to stay fit and healthy, and with these six goals, I have the confidence I will get there!

The Winter Build Begins: New Training Partners & Higher Mileage
มุมมอง 5K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
And the grind begins again! After two weeks and ten days of easy running, sessions are back, and the winter build has started. There are lots of changes going into the 2025 season, with new training partners, tripling my mileage, and new camp locations. The fact that my body is holding strong is such a boost to my confidence, but there is a lot of hard work to come if I am going to compete with...

I Paced an Olympic Champion for a World Record Attempt
มุมมอง 9K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Last week I was asked to pace Jacob Ingebrigtsen for a 1500m World Record attempt, at first this really offended me as I believe I can be on par with these guys running sub 3:30 but after thinking long and hard about it, the experience of front running at this pace is something I couldn't turn down.

I Broke The Mile World Record
มุมมอง 65K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
My running career has been full of many highs and lows but this has to be one of the best moments so far! To be able to call myself a World Record Holder in the sport that I love is honestly such a big honour. Don't get me wrong though this isn't all I've got the 1500m training has been pushing me from strength to strength and I'm very excited to where the next few years will take me! Thank you...

Well done for the "dad" comments. So f*cking true. So important and so difficult to get the balance right. Wonderful to see a serious group in Brighton!! :) Other way of getting views = get Jemma on the vids sometimes (if you do track together...?) Really really hoping for the best for you guys.
Hey Elliot - thanks for mentioning about higher Vitamin D deficiency in mixed-race people. I'd never heard this - going to start supplementing now 💪🏾 especially given the sun's probably gone for the next half a year in the UK lol. Good luck with the winter, hope you get through it unscathed
It’s great that you’re sharing your experience, both the pros and cons🙂 Hopefully, it works out for you in the end!👍
Wow, that is one ugly pain cave but hey….’whatever gets the job done’, hoping your plans to make it prettier come to fruition.. but I recall your carpet fitting in the house, so I’m hopeful.. Also impressive electronic skills sorting out the treadmill!
Haha, your comment caught me off guard but also made me laugh. I couldn't agree more; sometimes ugly gets the job done. When I’m back from training camp, I’ll try to pretty it up before Christmas 🤣
How you both manage it all with the kids is amazing. Hope the training camp goes well. Btw my garage gym is immaculate but the treadmill is folded up and I think I’ve used it twice in two years… but it’ll be coming out again if we get a White Christmas! Love your channel and the Olympic journey this year was crazy!
Hahaha the editing is top notch on this. I loved the patience meter
Love this kind of cotent. Running mixed with some DIY home improvement. Look forward to the finished shed.
Try st David's, Elliott with the camper, there's a few decent sites. The coastal path there is beautiful but hard running
Shouldn’t laugh but it was almost Laurel and hardy moment 😂
me expecting a relaxing running video.... 😅 i felt so stressed for you aaahhh glad it all worked out in the end!!
When you go to South Africa, can you make a day in the life?
Hey Elliot, I sent you a message on IG but not sure if it actually goes through. Just wanting to learn a few things about your training approach as I’m perpetually injured and have a somewhat similar background to you
@@Sam-vv7ze I haven’t seen anything, but if you message me again, I’ll keep an eye out. I’m no Coach, but happy to give you my advice
I believe you now when you told me you live like a monk 🤣🤣🤣
I love tenby a favorite place to run❤
So how did you end up getting it to the shed? The pump trucks wheels were off the floor then the next clip it was in the shed!
@@mrrob6730 I mentally checked out during this point and gave up filming, I did it with great difficulty. The treadmill weighs 330kg! 🤯
@@Elliot_Giles Yeah they're way bigger than you think. Got one during lockdown and it took over most of my living room/kitchen. Returned it soon after!
bro, real athlete setting it all up yourself, good job
@@douglaswilliamsonmbbs6261 it was harder than running 😅
m/s is meters per second
Those wires would have been the final straw for me. Well done for getting it finally sorted. What a palava!! Hope you get some good use out of it over winter.
@@amjid300 I considered throwing in the towel but I couldnt let it defeat me 😅🤣
When I saw you backing the pram out of the house in Tenby I thought you'd brought the treadmill with you for a second!!
@@Mungret23 🤣
I'd love to see Elliot do a few 5,000s to help his speed endurance for the 1500. Hocker said it helped his 1,500 in 2024. I wish you, Elliot, all the best in 2025.
Loving the honesty, hoping for an injury free season and seeing you hit your potential at 1500
Dude, Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele are both still running world class times in their 40's (ok Kipchoge is nearly 40) so I firmly believe that your best is yet to come.
👌👌💪
go get it buddy!
Great video Elliot! I hope your niggle turns out to be nothing. What model is that cross trainer? it looks great for use during injury!
It's inspirational to see that pro athletes also get injured and bounce back from it. Looking forwards the the video about cross training.
do you plan on going to flagstaff? if so let me know !
Wishing you all the best mate can’t wait
Watched a video of Nick Willis training partners once and were saying how he often pulls out before end of sessions but they realised over time how he’d learnt to listen to his body and realised better to do for example 6/7 reps and be able train all week than force self to do the planned 10 reps and then be off for couple weeks
@@tvgcmma9215 I'll stress this more in videos moving forward. It’s what separates the good from the great, and I learned this far too late
I am waiting for an arc trainer video I am injured right now and in general i find it pretty effective but sometimes it feels like it fatigues my legs a lot but not getting my hr up
Hi Elliot, How do I get in touch to train with you. I'm from India
I recognise those streets! Fellow Burgess Hiller?
Nice work! Drink as many coffee's as you want so long as its an hour or 2 after you wake up and minimum of 6 hours before bedtime. Sleep when your kids sleep, they know when to sleep far better than adults! I loved an afternoon nap with my boys when they were about that age
Great video, Elliot. Really looking forward to following your training over the coming months. Competitive plans? Are you planning on having an indoor season? Or just training through the winter?
Where's your dog? That was the best training partner!
Good stuff. Stay injury free and healthy!
Excellent stuff 👌👌 apart from your driving 😂
Crazy as it sounds but if you did a parkrun you would get so much exposure for your channel. You should have 10 times the amount of subscribers!
The Brighton park run is actually in Preston park... starts 200m from the velodrome where they did these "track" sessions! Agree - go with the squad - destroy the field - film and post with a fun (respectful) title to get the views...
Good luck, I wish you all the best in 2025!
Make sure you pay the camerawoman good money she is the the big boss 🤣 Have great season mate all the best
Great to see Cathal join your group. I was in Stade de France a few months ago for his repechage win and semi-final PB. 2 great runs. ☘☘☘
Good luck with the changing training methods, Elliot. Fingers crossed you stay both injury and illness free next season!
great vid
Burgess hill Green circle my running spot 😍
@@simoncarter1653 I've recently moved, if you fancy company let me know 🙌
Saw you run that incredible world record in prototype shoes (defeating THE GOOSE in the process too). What do you think of the Streakfly 2s? Should us middle distance runners be excited about their release? If you’re allowed to comment on the shoes of course 😂
Good breakdown. I don't recall hearing any mention about lottery funding or rather lack of. Seemed to me that they are arguably one or two athletes still on there who do not seem to be obviously better than you based on what happened this year.
Incredible all around !
nice work champ
Hi Elliot, congrats on the new WR and the new man cave😂. I had the pleasure of meeting you last year at Worthing parkrun when I was a marshal and you asked me about the course etc. Any plans to come back to Worthing parkrun this year? Enjoying your channel and following your achievements. All the best, Bill
Looking forward to watching you progress. Seems like you have learned so much along the way so far. Good luck with your next training block 💪🏻
What a journey 🤝🤝🤝🤝respect
