- 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 enjoy this running vlog running 30km with me for the very first time.

I ran for 2 hours straight yesterday. Slowly. I will do this every week for a few months and hopefully one day I ll muster the courage to sign up for a marathon.
2 hours straight!! That’s amazing!!!! You’ve 100% got the mental resilience to run a marathon ❤️
Look at you, Emily! That is so so amazing, on your feet for FOUR hours. Well impressed. And look at all these comments of others you continue to inspire. Slow(er) runners run the world! ☺️
Thank you so much!!
So nice to see someone running my pace and sharing openly. 30k is also my farthest to date and it also took me 4 hours. Presently recovering from chemotherapy and an even slower still. Well done persevering!
Also highly recommend guava blocks much nicer than gels. Nakd bars work well for me too
You’re awesome 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I just stumbled across this video and it’s refreshing to see an honest beginner marathon runner vlog. You should be proud of this training run - you just ran 30km! It’s a huge ask to train for a marathon. I am also training with an injury so a slow runner and there are good runs bad runs and a lot of doubt!
P.s My period wipes me out and a couple of runs was a real slog and felt faint, but out of your control. So I make sure I’m well fuelled big breakfast 2 hours before the run and on the run water and sugar drinks like lucozade and gels.)
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, 30k! Your marathon training is blowing my mind every week and makes me believe that maybe one day in the near future I'll make it too! Thank you for that hope!
You’ll do it 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@@Runswithemily 🤞🏻🫶🏻
I'm trying to get back into running after taking a two-year break and gaining quite a lot of weight. Your videos help me to stay motivated and not give up even when it feels like I'll never get back into shape. Seeing you run 30km is so impressive no matter the pace!
Thanks so much xx
Thank you for sharing your running content! I have been running SLOW for awhile, it's amazing to see a community of runners I can relate to and appreciate the struggle! Congrats on doing 30km!
Yayyy there’s so many of us slower runners ❤️
Omg you’re local to me! You’re running so so well. I’m also about to embark into my longest run ever a disgusting 20miles so it’s nice to relate to you as everyone seems to be flying whilst running long distances.
Good luck with your 20 miles!!! Music, food, water and cry if you need to 😂😂
@@Runswithemily thank you 🙏🏼 I’m definitely going to cry after I finish.
Emily, that was amazing! I can barely run for a full hour. I can't imagine running for 4 hours =D Also, my knees do that when I sit down too haha. Best of luck with the rest of your training!
Thanks so much Mike ☺️☺️
Let’s go Emily! I just ran 18 miles this weekend and it felt awesome, hope you’re recovering well after the fact
Amazing well done!!!
Very good long run, Emily. I wish you all the best on your marathon training. Enjoy your run.
Thank you :)
You go Emily! I love your videos, super relatable and fun to watch :) congrats for your 30k
Thank you so much!!
Great effort. Don’t underestimate the build of residual fatigue, it’ll probably be affecting you more than you know. I was meant to do 34k on my plan yesterday but had to call it quits at 24k cause I was so drained, so I’m fighting that battle myself! Good news is we will be so much fresher on race day after the taper, and faster paces will feel just as comfortable. Keep going 👏🏻
It’s crazy how much all those miles add up and take a toll on your body, even if you feel pretty fresh just before the run. Looking forward to my taper which starts next week
@@Runswithemily Yep! Enjoy the rest and the carbs!
So nice seeing you run round where I love to run (the Hammersmith/barnes section) - it looks so beaut in the sunshine!! You smashed this 👏
Such a good route!!
Thanks appreciate the view -- I did the Donna Foundation marathon 2/4 -- 05:22:45 and the E. Todd Murray half last Sunday 2:32:10 -- the last several years have been doing Jeff Galloway's Run/Walk/Run system
Such a great system!!
Thank you for sharing your journey because almost all the other runners I follow are super fast runners. I can relate to your stats.
Thanks so much!
ran a marathon yesterday at at 11 mins per mile and it felt so nice to go at my own pace (: slow running is so much nicer imo
Loving these videos Emily. Is nice to follow someone more relatable! I use huma gels as made from chia seeds and fruit. Also had a lemon Soreen for todays run😊 i might give Cliff blocks a go next time.
Soreen bars are so good when you want actual food on the run, I get hungry half way through 😂
Nicely done Emily! I love these videos, they give me so much motivation for my runs (currently training for a half marathon - having never ‘been a runner’) 🏃♀️ keep it up!
Thank you!! Good luck with your training :)
👌🏻👌🏻 perfect! your first 30km, take pride!! i've got to go through your back catologue as i've just discovered you and think you're my kinda person. Honest, refreshing and my pace (ie totally relatable!)
If you don't already know about them, try Luchos Dilitos, they are great at a quick hit of energy and I find them really easy to eat on the go (guava sugar bars, nice tasting and good sugar).
But, getting nutrition right is really difficult, some days I can get it on point and others not, it's a tough beast to crack but trial and error is the way to learn what you might need and able to stomach. Great work! x
Thank you so much :)
Just found your channel! I ran a marathon last year and I’m excited to see your progress and training ❤️ subscribed
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
You're so sweet and have just watched two of your videos.
Love watching a runner tacking a Marathon for the first time.
The RUNNA APP Is amazing and I've been using it to train for a 105 mile run (currently 15 weeks into 16 week 50KM Ultra Program before changing to the longer plans)
Make sure you stay strong, and keep moving forward.
If there's anything that others have taken from me during a new distance is to just think about the step you're taking right now and not the ones you have a head of you.
You just keep saying "this is the best step I can take right now and this next one is the best step i can make right now"
If you ever want any information or help feel free to message and I will do what I can ^.^
Stay strong, you've got this
Thank you so much ☺️☺️ ahh so glad you like Runna too! That’s amazing advice ❤️❤️
I was literally thinking of cycling when you said about stopping at the pub 🤣 I am most definitely stopping at a cafe during a long ride, and not 30k like you said in the video but more like 60 or 100! Way easier on the bike 😝 But omg 30k run what a fantastic achievement !!
It's not 30k, it's an ultra half marathon.
Hahahah I like it
Love this! I’m a runner recovering from an injury. My goal is to run a 10k this year and next year a half marathon!
Thank you 🫶🏻 good luck with your recovery, working through injuries is hard, I feel for you!
Have you tried Veloforte gels? They are natural and have worked wonders for me as someone who finds normal gels not great for my stomach. Might be worth trying :) Well done on getting the 30km done!
I have tried them!! Only one flavour though which I wasn’t so keen on 😂 maybe I need to try more
Well done! Great effort
Thanks a lot!
I just stumbled on your channel and absolutely love it:)
Yay! Thank you!
@@Runswithemily you're welcome:)
Congratulations on running 30.km - Well done!!!!! (I know it's hard, and I've not got to that distance... yet!)
Are you following any training plan?
Good luck with your marathon training!!!!!
Thank you!! I’ve been using Runna ☺️ there’s a link in the video description!
Everyone I've seen training for a marathon (including myself) has had an awful 30k training run this block so I think the distance is just cursed this year. Hope the next one went better :)
Hahah it’s cursed for sure
Yeah girl! That much volume and my knees would sound exactly the same LOL
Hahaha
Great effort. Well done.
Thank you!
Any running shoe recommendations? Thanks
I really love Brooks! The ghosts or glycerin 20s are my faves.
