Your bubbly attitude when running is lovely to see. I did my first ever over 20km run two days ago and found myself smiling like a madman. Not quite to the"stick your tongue out" happy level, but I think I've well and truly caught the bug.
Loved this vlog Flora. You are a very happy soul even when running/walking through deep water and mud. Thank you for showing a typical training run after lots of heavy rain.
I'm always amazed by your videos. Not just by how far you run, but by how the heck you manage to hold a camera out at arms length for so long and manage to capture your face pretty centrally in all of the footage. You're like a selfie-queen 😀
I really love how honest you are about just not wanting to know the distance. I feel like I am having a distance mental block. I am marathon training again and its like I have done the training and distance before but some reason the last few weeks the long runs are just like what is happening? you want me to how far?! So I've started to lie to myself on the distance and break it up otherwise I can't get out!
Yeah I think this is pretty common tbh! 🙈 you're not alone. I always give myself 'permission' to make up the miles in another run if I feel it's too much, but actually usually by the time I'm out for 2h, it might as well be 2.5 or 3 😅 you've got this!
I'm itching to get out running again. I've been watching all your videos while isolating with COVID and they're just reminding me how nice a big run can be (mostly when they're done). Thanks.
Flora! That was the most stressful video of yours ever, though I did wonder if you were going to have to call Fiann to come pick you up somewhere in Wales…or if you’d accidentally run into the river in the darkness….or that you were going to strangle a football person out of sheer hanger…this vlog truly had it all! 😂
Good evening for all the runners from Spain. Helpful video. Like for Flora. You are a stronger runner.....!!!!100 km..Wowwww!!!! A nice week for everyone. 🌦️🏃🌤️
As an ex Bristol resident I whole heartedly concur about the football crowd and I wasn’t even a runner back then! Hope the rest of the block goes well 😊
Good to see that your run in the dark had a happy ending and a terrific pace. It often feels faster when night running, which could just be fear or in your particular case a race to the fridge. Well deserved! Thanks for the tour Flora.
So pleased you are enjoying the book! Agree that Anna’s happy vibe shines through just like yours does! Well done on your run. My sons live in Bristol so it’s great to see some familiar places. I only got into running a year ago (you are young enough to be my daughter - Hahaa) but I just find your channel so inspiring and have my first half marathon coming up soon. All of your vlogs are brilliant. Well done and keep going! 👍🏼👍🏼😀😀
Really enjoyed watching this. I know this route you took and was almost shouting/pointing at the video when you were trying to find the stairs up to bridge. You were so close, and then you found it. You brought the reality of running to life. Taking the ups with the downs whether crowds, pavement pains, waterlogged paths....another inspiring and motivational vlog. Thanks so much Flora. P.s. now gonna look up that mushroom risotto brand.
Great video Flora, this has been the perfect motivation for my 10 mile run this morning! It's interesting to hear you mention the psychological effects of injury - I'm training for a 50 mile race on April 7th and am at that point where judging my body has become a challenge. Please remember to take a headtorch next time, that didn't look ideal for your safety!
happy to hear it motivated you to get out! :) Oooh amazing, good luck with that. Yes it's difficult to know how you body should feel when you're training very hard!
What a run!! I'm so glad you found that little conservation path... loud busy graffiti covered roads are my idea of running hell! 😆 I always have a mini first aid kit, wind breaker, and TP crammed into the bottom of my vest, and add whatever I'll need for that run, but I think I'll add a lightweight headlamp too. I often run at dusk, and am so grateful to live in a part of the world where I'm more worried about a twisted ankle than violence. I'll check out that book! And you're closing in on 50k subscribers... I'm going to literally squeal and dance around my house when you hit it!! 😆
Haha yeah I'm always upset to be on the road, but at least it was flat snd easy running 😅 oh yeah not too far off, but the march of progress is slow! Hopefully will be there in the summer maybe 🤗
Trail runs here on the edge of the Peaks have been a case of fine, fine, fine, shin-deep. Given up worrying about keeping shoes clean, just staying on the feet is a win!
Am over in Gritstone territory and a lot of the paths over fields are pretty waterlogged and some of the bridal ways are a little muddy, the higher bits are mostly ok... Enjoy your weekend sploosh!
I try my best to take advantage of any sunshine during the winter and go out for a run, (as long as it’s 20F or higher). Trudging through mud and a wet mess under gray clouds is definitely not fun!
Flora I have only come across you recently. I mainly train by myself during the week and with friends at the weekend in the mountains. I love your vlogs keep up the good work x
Loved the "mission mindset" hunting the streets to that bridge ramp, real adventure running, not knowing the exact way but persisting until you find it, kudos! 👏 have you considered the nike pegasus shield versions, maybe an idea for clean runs where some soggy patches might emerge! Great video! 👍
Best timing!🤩🤩 I don't know if you remember me but I just got the best mark on my thesis! (Sustainability in sports) Your part just really made it a whole!☺️
Preworkout changed me from non runner to runner, I think it's the beta alanine and hydration stuff in mine:). I make sure any stuff I take is 3rd party tested and list all ingredients:). Love your channel and your strava. I swear some people never run/show a slower than 6 or 7 minute mile no mater where they run or how long they run... smh lol.
Great effort flora,i was willing you to get back before dark but didnt hsve much faith when you was looking for the bridge steps😂i got out this weekend did a 10k saterday and 7.5 mile sunday🙌🙌💪🏃keep up the hard work😊😊
Nice to see all the sights of my favourite Bristol routes! I'm training for Manchester Marathon, and looking for a good half marathon loop in Bristol if you have any recommendations.
Interesting , I am prepping (aged 58) for my first ultra this year but doing it on a very low to keto diet. I take cheese with me!! I can complete 2 to 2.5 hours fasted with no dips in energy and it works for me. Anyway, cracking video and inspiring, thanks. (subbed)
I'm also eating low carb diet, running fasted and usually don't eat or drink during a run, but I do take plain water and cheese for if I feel thirsty/hungry on my longer runs 👍 works great for me too.
Great run Flora very much impressed, I used to run when younger & these blogs bring the feeling of running back. Although I must say that last trail in the dark I don't think you should be doing that for your saftey. I have grandaughters a little younger than you (they play hockey) & would not like to see them on that trail in the dark.
You're right, but actually there is no way home (other than through the woods) at that point, and it was only 1km or so of seriously dark. But lesson learned to bring a head torch! 😅
I loved this! I'm a recent subscriber who ran London 22 and is now looking to get more into trail running. I had thought about filming some of my runs to remember some of the lovely route - how do you keep your camera so still while running?
Hey! Another Bristol runner here - I did an out and back along Portway a few days ago and got a new HM PB - a day after having set a new 10mi PB 😂 it's a good route for going fast but boring as hellllllllll. I'm new to Bristol so will try the other side of the river soon!
It is called the Yellow Brick road in Shirehampton for serious! :) You were unlucky to have wind into the face that way round it's usually the opposite. Kudos for staying upright in roadies - I would go splat!
Omg Flora I was worrying about you running in the dark on some little country paths!! I also admire your confidence vlogging with a camera in public like nobody is there 😊 You really gave me an energy boost this morning whilst watching the main part, so thank you 😘
Great run! Where do you get your trainning plans from? Do you utilize strength trainning in pace if milleage? (I was doing 50mi trainning and my body blew up after too many weeks of 70 mile weeks!)
Hey! I use the Runna app for training! Yes I do loads of strength training and hiking, especially in my off season and before my running mileage goes up for an event. I couldn't hack a 70 mile week EVER i don't think, but getting stronger helps my resiliency in hilly races!
Nope: he wasn’t taking the piss: that was the yellow brick road through the lamplighters nature reserve (despite it being neither brick, nor yellow). There are steps up onto the Avonmouth bridge as well but they are horrible and steep so I think the route you took up there was better. Looks like an interesting route though-enjoyed watching you run it.
Haha I found this out much later! It was weird cos he also said it was so windy I might blow away, and all the Wizard of Oz references were making me confused 😅 it was a good run though 🤗
Flora, it's been raining over here in western Germany nonstop "for weeks" as well. It was so annoying. 😂 After weeks of running in the freaking rain I almost feel like a mermaid. 🤷😂 Greetings to Bristol.
Hi Flora, you have inspired me to do my first Ultra trail event, a 50km with 10 hour limit to complete, in all honesty, looking forward to post run eats: Pulled Pork BBQ, Craft-Beer Kegs(three types), River swimming(hopefully naked), and playing corn hole and horseshoes(An American thing I guess), unless if you "Bloody-Blokes" (don't know if I'm using this noun in the proper context) from over the pond play the same games? Wanting to know which training shoes you recommend for a newbie want to be Ultra person? And what kind of vest are you wearing, is it a water backpack of sorts? My goal is to have fun, enjoy the wilderness I'll be running/walking through and average between 10-11:45min/km, I guess given that pace I should be, hopefully make the 10 hour limit. Any recommendations Flora? I adore your amazing attitude! All the best in 2023!!
Amazing, huge good luck with it!! My vest is a 7L Columbia pac. Salomon also does great ones. It comes with 2x 500ml soft flasks which are necessary as a minimum for a 50k. Shoes everyone is so unique I wouldn't want to give any suggestions. Happy training!
Well done for keeping it real Flora. Showing us you made a (minor) mistake in your route. Think most of us have a similar story. I know I have but without roaming hoardes of football supporters on-route 😉
Hey, this is so exciting!! Absolutely - I'd really recommend checking out the Runna app and following some of their plans before signing up to their 100k plan 16 weeks before the big day. It'll get you up to speed over the next year & for the race itself! Use the code FLORA to get 2 weeks free to test it out 🤗
Safety always comes first so if it's going to get dark on a part lit road part unlit trail run always run the road and lit part second. Got to say I've been out and back along that route many times and I really wouldn't fancy coming back along the towpath in the dark with or without a head torch.
I don't envy you running on those streets, I would use a treadmill rather than that. I guess I am spoilt because I live in mountains and have trails on my doorstep. Be safe and take a head torch! 👍
Hi Flora, how far would you recommend running for max weekly miles just to be able to complete a 50k? Currently running 30-35 a week with 10 weeks to my potential race. I’m thinking I would peak at probably no more than 45 miles per week. Does that seem sufficient?
Hi! I usually think that peak regular mileage should be about the distance of the race, so 35 miles would be perfectly acceptable. All my 50k races I rarely surpassed 55km! Better to arrive injury free and fresh than on higher mileage but burned out. But if you can handle it, go for it! Just make sure the extra miles are super easy pace
Ha ha that's me, permanently hungry! I find though, that if I just listen to my body & give it what it wants it will get what it needs. Your body's telling you what it needs so if it wants food then eat & enjoy 😍
Was literally concerned for your safety...Not running in the dark with no headlamp through unfamiliar routes. running alone past drunken football/soccer fans.
Such a fun video to watch! Thank you for sharing! So glad you made it back safely! 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️

3hr long run is excellent and I did 2hr run yesterday evening for extreme slow speed for 6:30 to 7:00 pacing for only 16km run
Flora! That was the most stressful video of yours ever, though I did wonder if you were going to have to call Fiann to come pick you up somewhere in Wales…or if you’d accidentally run into the river in the darkness….or that you were going to strangle a football person out of sheer hanger…this vlog truly had it all! 😂

I've read Anna McNuff's book - she reminds us that sometimes you've got to just jump and do it even if you're not ready!

Safety always comes first so if it's going to get dark on a part lit road part unlit trail run always run the road and lit part second. Got to say I've been out and back along that route many times and I really wouldn't fancy coming back along the towpath in the dark with or without a head torch.
usually i would do this, but if the route was the distance I had thought, it wouldn't have been a problem. Like i said, bad planning!
Have you been to NZ? There are so many beautiful trails here that you could run.
I would looooove to go! But never been sadly. I make do with Cornwall for now 🙈
I don't envy you running on those streets, I would use a treadmill rather than that. I guess I am spoilt because I live in mountains and have trails on my doorstep. Be safe and take a head torch! 👍

What time does it get dark there?? In the midst of winter here in Melbourne it might just be starting to get dark at the time you got home.
In the north of England in the middle of winter the sun sets just before 4pm so not much later than that for the south
@Emily S wow, that's a short day. Getting home from work, school, everything in the dark! Hope thats short lived for you.
Yes very short days! Sunset is about 4.30pm now so a little longer but you don't really start to notice longer days until about March time
@@kerricappy4890 its grim in winter but in my opinion worth it for the long summer days! Daylight from approx 4am til 10pm!
Hey,
how do you deal with the calorie loss after these intense workouts?
ah ok, 04:22 ^^
Lots of food! And eating as much as I can on the run itself :)
Perfect video and a run but please take very much care on that roadside; I don't see any sidewalk or such; cars driving top close, so dangereous.
There's a 5ft wide pavement the whole way along, don't worry!

I grew up in Wembley Park and now live in Watford and football people are soooo annoying and scary
Yeah totally agree!! Especially at night after a game 🥴
