Last weekend I headed out for a casual 2.5h trail run. After a big week of training I was pretty tired but it was great to get out and stretch the legs!

Very cool video! But that music for over half an hour nearly made me go mad
'Music' spoils many a good video imo.
I had to stop at halfway and I'll catch up tonight, but so far everything you've said has been so much like what runs through my mind in a constant chatter. Special note, that anyone who frowns on competitive woman has confidence issues, and yes, you'll DEFINITELY wind up doing something stupid and dangerous, because... why not? Once the pain fades, it'll feel glorious to look back on the memories and know you accomplished something incredible.
Hahah yes it's a constant stream of consciousness 🙈 and thank you! Totally agree 😊
@@FloraBeverley Finished! Great vlog, and what a beautiful area! I knew you'd moved away from gorgeous countryside, but hadn't realized you were so close to water! Coming home to my dog is the happiest 60 seconds of my day, every time I walk through the door.
@@Kelly_Ben thanks for watching Kelly and for your always kind comments! 🥰💙
Ok I didn't run 2day because I couldn't be arsed but I'll run 2morrow 3 weeks yesterday till my 1st 10km and a friend from work is running it 👌
Been enjoying your videos a lot Flora, from a runner in Montreal. My goal this year is a 65km run in September! Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers!
Competativeness is what makes you Flora ! Stick to what you believe it and what you enjoy 😊 🏃♀️ or ignore people like me who shouldn''t be telling you what to do.... 😊🤣
😂😂😂
Running along with you on these beautiful trails..via my phone..on my treadmill 🤣🤣 Love keeping up with your races and training...love from the U.S! 🖤🖤🏃♀️🏃♀️
You can't go wrong with the Avon path and Leigh woods ....great run Flora ...keep it up
Really enjoyed the video Flora and watched it all. So many running truths in your commentary there: the struggle to get out of the door, settling into the run, runners high and the final exhaustion. Your positivity is infectious. How many times have I gone off the main trail just to end up in a load of brambles and have to backtrack? Its so great when you do find a new route. Thanks for the video, hope your training continues to go well and look forward to you sharing it with us. All the best.
The beginning of the run is always difficult, even after years of training.. first time on your channel, you are really magic with your good energy and your big smile!!
Welcome to the channel! 🤗
Your energy is so positive I feel like going out for another run after watching this 😅 Also adding Bristol to my list to go and see the colourful houses 😍
Yes come to Bristol! It's so fab 😍
Hey Flora.completed the c25k then got shin splints quite badly, so went back to tennis 5 days per week. Still watch your vids and follow on ig. Just nice relaxing, inspirational work. Keep it up girl.
Oh no poor you!! Hope they get better soon.
Your enthusiasm for running - once you start and the struggles you sometimes have to get started are so helpful to hear.
🤗 Happy to hear it! Yes it sometimes does take me too long to get out ahha
Looks like a good varied run 🙂 I don't think not running yourself in to the ground by overtraining classes as lazy, more like wisdom? You totally lost me about the not finding competitive attractive 😅 Folk have some real bad insecurities for that surely?
I watched 14 minutes and you got me up and changed and out the door , i was literally making every excuse ,
I feel so much better for going
And I'm now going to continue watching the rest of your vlog ...thank you Flora xxxxxx
Awww this is so great to hear!! Well done for getting out 👏🏼
Hiya Flora, watched this this morning, I am an ultra cyclist who is trying to get into running, I obviously have a good engine just no the strength in my legs as yet. With a double day of run & gym session set, this video gave me the nudge to get on with it, and get out there, and I had a great time ✌
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well done and another inspiring run. Love the Damian Hall audible and was one of my first ones.
What were you eating as Iam trying to build up to an Ultra ?
He's great isn't he! I ate lucho dillitos and that breakfast bar thing from Kind!
Saved this to watch as motivation to go out on my Sunday 2.5 hour long run today and I'm glad I did! Such lovely trails that make me really miss Bristol - well done on the run!
Ahhh well done with your run!! 👏🏼it really is gorgeous isn't it?
I love how you can get passed what people think when they see you running and recording. Especially when your talking about struggles. I'm sure it's a bit easier now that your famous haha. My favorite part about your vlogs is your always smiling. That a big secret in life. Lol and your smile is contagious so your definitely changing life's with your videos. Much love ❤. Keep motivating us thought your grit and determination.
Haha I'm hardly famous! But yes I do often see people staring when I film - I guess it's not a normal thing to see 🙈
Hi Flora, really enjoy your videos! Just wondering what running pack/bag you use or what you would recommend? 😊
I have a couple of vlog on my fave kit but this is the columbia 7l pack and yes I love it!
@@FloraBeverley perfect, thank you! 😊
Ah, i loved running around Bristol, Avon and Leigh Woods were my stomping ground and it's lovely to see those scenes.
Great book that Damian Hall one, I loved it. Hillary Allan's book Out and Back is also excellent. Great run btw, I did 27km a couple of days ago and am thinking about fuelling etc. Good pace.
One of the first books I read about Ultra Running was Fat Man to Green Man by Ira Rainey. Its also available as an audiobook. Would thoroughly recommend it. Good luck with your race.
You have the best adventures on runs, not always a set path, but always make it home.🤣🤣🤣
Hi. Whats the name of the blue run vest you're using in this video, plse?
Another lovely video. Your Certainly one of my favourite running TH-camrs right now 🙌🏻🏃
Thank you!! 😊
Really enjoyed the run through the city where I grew up! Thank you🙏
What camera do you use when running? I want to film more running videos but I need some video stabilisation 😅
I use a gopro hero 9 🤗
Hey Flora, again a wonderful route and a very motivating vlog. Have you heard of Rennsteiglauf in Germany? I think this might be an interesting run for you ⛰️🙂 may you give it a look?! Greets Sarah
I've not, but I'll check it out!
I’ve only just found your channel today and I’m so happy I did. Im 4 weeks from my first 100km event after 6 months of training and I’m exhausted. I’ve enjoyed every part of my training but those long runs sometimes make me question my sanity. Your such an inspiration and I look forward to continuing watching. Thank you 🙏
Welcome to the channel! 🤗 ahhh incredible, sounds like you've been doing amazingly! Good luck with the 100k - I can only dream of doing such a distance at the moment 😅
haha, just did 26,3km in 2:31 today, but it was a race with 600m. You are a different level👏
Congrats!! Hope you enjoyed it :)
Hey Flora, I always watch your videos when I don’t feel like going out because it instantly gets me in the mood and wanting to get out! Have you considered starting a podcast? I would definitely listen while running 🏃🏻♀️
I have considered it but I struggle to keep up with my current forms of media as is. Maybe in the future though! I've been interviewed on a few though 😊
What is that feeling before going for a long run? I've never heard anyone else mention it. It can take me ages to get out of the door. Running is uncomfortable so is it trying to stay away from that? It is anxiety about not being able to run as fast/far as you have set your standards? I'm training for my first marathon and it's really difficult to get out. I've found dealing with the mental aspect far harder than the physical.
Good question! Fear that you won't be able to finish? Avoidance of pain? We're all hardwired to seek comfort at all times, so sometimes running can go against everything our bodies want. But also it's rewarding in a totally different way! I find reducing pressure on myself to run 'perfectly' or fast really helps reduce the anxiety.
Good luck with training you got this!
Saw you out on this run and just clocked myself in the background (rest day almond croissant at Mokoko...). Pretty new to Bristol so it's great having you for inspiration for my next long run route!
Ah no way, hey! Sorry to catch you with the camera 😅 love Mokoko 😋
I LOVE that you just go through that mud with your new shoes. I was actually cringing while you were doing it, perhaps I need to let myself get a bit more messy on my runs and not just do a ridiculous tippy toe around the muck! Maybe it will make me faster like you!
Hahah eventually you get used to it - in this case there really isn't much of an easy way around anyway. In races I find myself jumping over or going around puddles at the start but then half way through giving up and wading through 😆
Need to get round to reading Damian Hall's book, definitely on my 'to read' list. Well done with the long run, completely get the back and forth of feeling good and then not so much for long runs!
Yeah It’s really a great read!
Yes would definitely recommend it! It's so good 😍
Hey Flora :) your happiness always feels so infectious 🤗, it’s so lovely. Despite it meaning it’s close to the end of the video, I always look forward to seeing Tia’s welcome too 😊. So sweet! Hope the green man race goes really well, it sounds great
Tia is just the cutest! Highlight of my day 😍
Looks amazing! I've got my first ultra in Scotland this May and I'm loving the training for it - I was wondering if you had any recs for hydration packs, or finding hydration packs that don't rub!
Amazing, how exciting! I use the columbia 7L pack but salmon does some great ones too!
I'm glad this was recommended to me as I often run the towpath and Leigh woods but I never knew about the little gate into Ashton Court! I have an ultra coming up so I like watching videos like yours for motivation. Subbed!
Its such a sneaky little cut throguh that means you can connect up all the nice green spaces! 😍 good luck with training and thanks for the sub!
Nice run! What hydration pack do you always run with? Looks super comfy!
It's a columbia 7L pack :) I love it!
Watched this with a coffee in hand for my pre-long run motivation and it's worked a charm!
The only downside is your channel makes me miss running in Bristol, so many great routes!!
Wohooo hope you have/had a lovely run!!
that is a paradise to run i like to run in suche a place like that
that is the best trail to run i run the marathon in 4 hours it is my best time
Flora did the 2 runners In the distance behind you at 8 minutes catch-up? Bet they were using you as a pacer and trying their best to. 🙂
Haha I don't think so - they must have taken a different turn as I didn't see them later!
Hi Flora, great video, your enthusiasm and presentation is so inspiring, liked the backing track to video. The trails you run on around Bristol look great too. Coincidentally one of the first audio books I listened to was Fatman to Green Man by Ira Rainey, great listen. I'm hopefully doing the RTTK this year and then the New York marathon in November. Good luck with all your runs and keep on with the videos. Brilliant, thank you,
Ian ☺️
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Oooh I'll have to check that out. Is that referencing the Greenman ultra then? Sounds like you have an amazing year planned, I think I want to do race to the tower, I hear they're all great races 🤗
Hi Flora,
Yes it was with reference to " The Green man Ultra" and yes the "Threshold Series" is Really well organised. I did the "Race to the stones" it was brilliant 🙂 so that's what's spurred me on to do the "RTTK" so I would definitely recommend "RTTK", Guess all the "Threshold series" are on my list now.
Can't believe you did ,"The Mapledurham 10 miler " I did it too, not sure if you did the same year, but the weather was pretty bad and the conditions under foot wasn't good. I also recommend the "Goring gap run" which starts and finishes at the same point as the "Mapledurham 10 miler" but the distance is either "Marathon or Ultra distance" and basically follows the river Thames "Lovely",
Maybe see you on a Trail run one day as I also noticed you did a "Maverick run", I did a "Maverick Ultra" on the South Downs again well organised.
Take care Flora,
Ian 😊
WOW! that hurt just watching you ,enjjoyable as it might be! always green with envy flora,Loving some of those trails you do up there in bristol. hope ypu do eventually train elsa to run with you ,always saftey in numbers!!! (few dodgy looking trails)..but you looking fantastic,hopefully be back running by summer....if i can avoid knee surgery🙏.So hope you recover quick, and be looking forward to next post.BigLoveXx.❤💛💚.
Okay I need to know... HOW do you keep the camera so steady when you run?! Do you have some kind of swivelly handle on it or something? I can't for the life of me get good footage on my runs 😫
Haha I have a gopro and the stabilisation is really good!
@@FloraBeverley ohh reallyyyy okay cool, I’ve just been using my iPhone but I do have a GoPro so I’ll try using that 😊 thank you so much!
Awesome! Keep up the good work 💪❤️
I discovered trail running recently when i was hiking in Sweden so i thought what these runners are about and found this video. So far i liked it. Will start by running on the pavement once it's not so -30°C anymore. Maybe i'll be running ultra marathon in 2022 who knows. Greetings from the coldest capital in the world.
Thank you for the motivation to get out today!
ok scared me at first thinking it was 26 miles in 2.5 hours
Haha that would be nice wouldn't it 😅
Felicitaciones
Flora your not here to be attractive and competitive 🤣🤣 I’m sorry but you qualify on both accounts 😜 I love your attitude to running just brilliant, god this sport is so hard 😤 I suppose starting at 62 doesn’t help 🤣
Great job on the video. Always like your content. I love that you are so competitive. It's when we're in a relationship competing with our partners in general things. Not scared of seen as losing because your wins are our wins to in sense share them to grow the relationship is all. Our wins therefore would be your wins. Don't want to try one up partner because relationship is like service industry for both people. Just my 2 cents. Hope have great day.
Life is so much more fullfilling, funny and activating, with a competitive woman around.
And I find that competitive women also tend to be more intelligent, so it's a win-win !
Pensaba que los Ángeles estaban en el cielo, me equivoque aquí en la tierra también los hay, solo hace falta un minuto de ver su video y comprobar que esa Angelical sonrisa y esos preciosos ojos viven aquí dentro de esa magnífica atleta, thanks to be here❤️
yeah dont eat bacon ham pork
Simply Wonder full atleth you are, I love yoursmile 👏🤓🤓💪💪
Love it! went along there today and it was muddy, heavy rain and lots of fun, there is a nice new route up through the woods maybe 1/3 mile before where you turned up if you want to try a new route. Happy exploring 😁 p.s. I just started with lucho dillitos, they are melt in the mouth amazing
Oh amazing! Yes I usually go up the little steps about 1/3 mile before if thats where you mean? Big hill?
@@FloraBeverley that's right, takes you from the tow path up into Leigh woods, I think they've cut out a new path, the turn in is under the old railway bridge. Sure you'll see it next time you head along there. Keep up the great work in the meantime!
@@richardantrobus7186 yes I saw that as they were building it! Was worried it went over the tracks so I turned back 😅 next time will try!
There is no one as happy as you during your runs! It's infectious 😊
You forgot hellahgood. Haha
I have the same backpack for running :) Columbia
great work.
First time watcher of your channel. Amazing energy and enthusiasm during your run!
Can I ask what your target heart rate % is during your long runs? You seem to run so fast compared to my Garmins suggested heart rate.
Edit: After pausing your video at 35.14 while you were looking at your watch and your pulse said 187! WHAT!
Hahah my HRM on my watch is not accurate - I wouldn't be able to maintain 187bpm for 2.5h, let alone chat throughout 😅 it just picks up my cadence sometimes I think.
Having said that it probably IS quite high - maybe 165 by the end or something! Need to get a HR strap if I want to know accurately.
Definitely not a fan of running, but I can't get enough of your videos! 💖
Aw this is so lovely to hear!! What do you do?
@@FloraBeverley I'm actually a swimmer! I swam competitively for 16 years & I swim weekly for work 🥰 But I ran today! I intended to walk, but then I said "well if Flora can run x amount of kilometers, you can handle one mile" 😂 So I ran two, and feel great!
@@veronicaalejandra20 haha amazing!! Good job 👏
12:30 a less attractive and less ambitious female must have told you that! Not true!
Hi flora can I ask what camera you use while you are running ?
Leafy!
Sorprendente hablaste todo el trayecto.
Strava! Yaaaaay
Congratulations Warrion 🎯🏃♂️🤜
Lovely to see ur run route! Looked great and well done on nailing it! 💪 resonate with all the chat ! ❤
Thanks Amy! I see you doing crazy mileage, super impressive 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@FloraBeverley Hopefully be worth it! I once said i'd never do a marathon and now i sign up for crazy stuff as you were saying! haha. Long runs i try to make as adventure days and go places new, makes it slightly easier to get going - middle distance i find the hardest to motivate for!
@@amysutherland5627 I'm exactly the same! Intervals I dont have to think about, long runs I get to explore. Medium runs I have to do the same 5 runs every time 🙈
i love a run around Brizzle when im there for work.
Flora where do you get your Training Routes from
A mix! Strava, local knowledge and komoot 🤗
@@FloraBeverley Thats Great thanks. Loving your channel. I am planning my first Ultra next year on the iow. I also have a Trail Half marathon in October called the Clarendon. Then the Great South also In October.
How do you feel about walking on long runs? Are you easy on yourself or only have breaks for food etc ? I'm new to longer distance running :)
Today I walked LOADS on my run! Usually on long runs (esp hilly trail ones) I'm very chilled about it. I save my fast running for sessions and races 😊
HOW DO I LISTEN TO THE AUDIO BOOK?
Wherever you get your audiobooks! Audible, borrowbox, a few others available
What do you carry in your running vest?
what watch do you use?
Garmin fenix 6s pro solar
You are so inspirational ❤ thank you xxx
What size Columbia 7L hydration vest do you have? I’ve been looking for a good vest with water in the front that aren’t bottles - excited!
I think it's the smallest size they have! It's fab 🙌🏼
Excellent! Thanks for the reply. Really enjoying your channel as I’m getting hooked on trails and (the thought of) ultras ☺️ Thanks!!
what an amazing location to run along.
Who is your running coach? I’ve only been running a year or so but feel I need more structure and rather than try and navigate the sea of information on the internet would rather enlist the help of a professional
Holly Rush has been helping me over the last year - she's also got some amazing plans if you have a particular race/goal in mind!
Thanks I’ll check her out
Well done! Is it a Garmin Watch are you using at the moment?
Yes! Garmin fenix 6s pro solar 🤗
What is the snack you are eating? Thank you.
Lucho dillitos 🤗
your take on the runner's high ... 100% how I feel. I get the high also when I'm most stimulated / feel invisible, especially running DC versus Arlington streets.
Damn, I'm 48, amateur runner, full time job and have the same training regime as this woman, I should make myself a you tube channel and get some sponsorships....
Go for it! 😉
My Wife :D
Hey Flora. I have a funny story. I was stopped for shoplifting by a Loss prevention girl. She started to handcuff me, so i resisted and ran. Little did I know she was a marathon runner.
