- Join me on my journey as a slow runner training for my first ultramarathon! In this running vlog, I share my experiences and progress in 2 weeks of training for a 50km race.
This is my biggest running challenge to date and I'm so excited!

"I've come so far, and I've got so much more to give and there's so much more that I can achieve" 🥰 The best reminders!!!
Haha glad you liked this!
I ran my first marathon this week in Reykjavik and I wanted to tell you that your videos really helped me stay motivated as a slower runner and I'm super happy I actually did it! 🎉
love the longer videos, and it was nice to see the country side runs ❤
Looooved this video! Something super cosy about these longer videos for sure. You’re crushing your training so far, so proud of you! ❤
Love the long ones. Thank you for your content!
Glad you like the longer video, and thank you so much!!
you should definitely check out the elevation on your race couse, so you can train specifically for it... you don't want to be surprised the day of ! the elevation could affect your hydration / nutrition energy, time management, etc. I do a lot of trail running (with lots of uphill) and, as a slower runner like you, I like take advantage of the uphills to take my walk breaks, so I can save energy and have an easier time going up. then I go crazy on the downhill :p good luck on the rest of your training block!
Just wanted to say thank you. I did follow you for over a year now and today I did a marathon in 5:13 🎉 I dont know if it was you or celina, but one said one time “its hard but we can do hard things” and that was one think that kept me going 😊
Well done with the training 👍
For calf stretches during a run i usually find it's the soleus that feels tight so you need to stretch it with a bent leg. Basically push your heel into the ground and move your knee forward, over your toes, until you feel the stretch.
Thank you!
Love these vlog videos. Regarding stretching on your runs you could try doing a pigeon stretch if you don’t mind stopping for a bit longer, and if you can find a mud free patch of ground.loved the comment about the sheep, I too ‘am a friend and do not eat you’.
Love the update no matter how long the video is. You’re keeping me motivated during my training. I love that you said your 7k run was so easy and before you thought 7k was hard. I’ve been thinking this way too. When I started a year ago even 5k seemed so hard. You’re crushing your training. Keep going 👍
Loving the longer style vlogs :) You're doing so well!
Great running 💪🏻 enjoying watching your journey 🏃🏼♀️
Hi Emily. I like the longer videos. I watch while I’m on the treadmill. 🏃🏻♀️😀👟I like my Brooks Ghost for regular runs and my Ghost Max for recovery runs or easy walks. Good luck on the upcoming ultra. 👍🏼
For the calf stretch I like to push against a wall like you do but then I bend my knee and kinda "sit" on my leg instead of pushing the wall, it stretches the soleus more and it really helps imo!
Can't beat the countryside runs to change things up. Loving the content
I really like the longer videos :)
I love to do downward facing dog for calf stretches ❤
my fav calf stretch is to put the ball of my foot on an elevated surface and lean forward until i feel a niceee deep stretch... any other calf stretches usually just stretch my hamstrings 😂
Ooo nice!!! I’m making a long list of all these stretches 😂😂
Comparing with last week is a great mindset
I like to do a downward dog to stretch my calves and "walk it out" by bending my knees one at the time. But obv I do that at home haha. If I'm still outside, I like to find a ledge, like a rock maybe or the sidewalk, put my toes on the sidewalk and then lower my heel to the street level. Like what you'd do for a calf raise with a full range of motion, but just hold it and dont push yourself up. If you want to deepen the stretch, you can lean forward a bit from your hips. Make sure your leg is straight though
Thank you!!
You might find better balance in your strength training by using shoes with a smaller heel
I like to think of other hard times I had in my life (usually it was mentally tough not physical hard times but both is fine) and then remember that you thought you couldn't do it but clearly you made it through. It distracts you and it gives you confidence at the same time. Don't remember all your hard times at once you might need them for later in your longer long runs, so you still got some "fuel" left.
And btw I think there are no calf stretches that feel good😅. They all feel kind of shitty but thats how you know you should be doing more of that.
That’s a great mindset tip!!!
You really motivate me! I’m also slow, between 7-8 min/km. One thing I’m trying to improve is my cadence. I’m starting to get used to 165 spm for easy runs. What’s your typical cadence? You might already have a video I’m not sure
Do Pyramid for calf and hammy stretch! great job!
Oooo perfect, thank you!
Hey Emily, thanks for taking us with you on your training journey! Well done :) I stretch my calves (and feet!!) regularly, even more so after a run. There are tons of videos out there, but I find this one here particularly helpful :) Hope this helps! All the best for your future training, enjoy your days off 😊

Ultramarathon in 6 weeks? That's easy, I could do that, it's only just over a mile per da-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh wait see what you mean.
Longer videos are good, just keep it real ("this hill is really long and steep [...] I went the wrong way" 🤣).
The calf stretch at the end of this video feels soooooo good th-cam.com/video/VqAJxuVoe-I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hVVNs0Soh34caKMH . Loving your videos to reduce my running imposter syndrome 😊 x
Thanks so much for sharing. Really glad you’re enjoying the videos 💖
