In 4 years Phily will be, I believe, in her early 30's, that's a perfect age for a marathon. Couple that with several more years of focused marathon training and it's possible. I can't say it's guaranteed because anything can happen in a marathon. But I, for one, will be cheering for her from the other side of the pond.
A lot of young kids would love to have a dream of making the Olympics, the selection panel now concentrating on only the athletes who could possibly medal will be a massive negative to future dreams. Britain loves to see our athletes compete, and some could run way better than expected. Taking part at the Olympics encourages the future generation, I feel the Olympic panel has got this very wrong.
I like how US organizes a Olympic qualifier. The winner this year ran her first marathon and she's going to the Olympics, which wouldn't be possible in the English system.
@@young-spark that is a better system, gives athletes hope. Please don't get English and British mixed up though, we have proud countries making up Britain, I'm Welsh 😁
It only takes a look at history to see that you can't preselect who has the best chance, who will win. US trials and even Tokyo marathon today show how it can go with an underdog blowing the field away
@@debrascott8775 yes that is what the Olympics are all about, we shouldn't have it all about the potential medal winners taking part, it's the underdogs succeeding and taking part which inspires the future athletes, the Olympics is not all about winning.
I was going to run the Berlin half as my first half marathon ever this year and I was so so excited! But I had a serious pulmonary embolism in January and I'm off running until further notice. I was so gutted that I won't be able to run, but knowing that I'll see you run in Berlin and will be table to cheer you on just made that a liiiil better
You are an inspirational runner. I am very impressed by your speed, and the times you get on your runs. I struggle a lot to be faster, but I try. Stay amazing!
I had a chat with Daniel at the end of the 10km this morning- he’s a nice guy 👍Gees that was one fast race 😮 Great work with the channel our family really enjoy your videos, you are an inspiration & funny with it 💪
I love your positivity. I was going to run my dream ultra marathon in 2014 but instead spent 2023 having chemotherapy. Just starting again but I'm determined to get there.
Sorry you didn't get to the 2024 Olympics. Hopefully you can get to the 2028 Olympics or the Olympics at some point in the future. Keep being your amazing self
GO PHILY! Whatever you do, you're going to have a whole bunch of people shouting for you. Big shout out to @daniel as well. The wind beneath your wings. Best wishes to the both of you.
Yoo she's having such a time with recording these. It is probably the happiest I've seen her doing goofy stuff. Forget the major goals, if you don't reach some of them it is not the end of the world. I just wish you'd be yourself at all times and keep making our days consistently. Daniel is a rock btw, having such passion to help Phily is incredible. Keep going guys, cheers!
Patreon team here, already got my singlet in the mail and loving it! Good luck on your journey, everything about qualifying for the Olympics is so damn confusing, they’re really not making it easy on us.
You will make it to the olympics Phily!! You willllll!! and I can’t wait to see it and follow along the journey! You are a massive inspiration to us all! Honestly just love your energy and mindset💘🫶
I love the energy that these videos radiate. I'm turning 40 this year and always found running to be exhausting. For a few months now, I've been following this channel and have simultaneously discovered my passion for running. I'm slow and far from being in good shape, but running feels like it doesn't matter. Everyone I've met, whether online or in real life, is connected. We share a hobby/passion that brings us together, and the positive energy that comes with it is wonderful. In a few weeks, I'll have my first run, and I'm diligently training. And thanks to your channel, I feel very motivated :) Thanks for that.
I’m 62 years old I was a Lon distance runner with some marathons on my carrier my best time was 2:45 in the New York 1992 after 25 years stop I back to running again now I’m old and use pace maker and defibrillator because of my heart rate but I’m still running with the same love for the sport and I want to let you know that I love your channel and I hope you enjoy your beautiful life keep on going you will be accomplish your goals ❤
Phily, I think you still have chances to go to Olympics (if you still want). Currently, only 2 of 3 women from UK are officially confirmed, you are the fastest of them in 2024, bureaucratically, you deserve the last spot, if you (for bureaucracy) finish another marathon by 1:26:50. You can do it! It does have to be the cool marathon (like in Boston, MS, USA), the shyer "Boston" one like in Boston, Lincolnshire still have the same distance. Just try to run any marathon before April 30, and if you got a decent result, then you can tell you grandkids, "Yes, I was at the Olympian level in 2024" :)
Really appreciate how honest and up front you are about your own performances and how you don't let it discourage you. I am about to run my first marathon in April, as a non-elite runner who has been training moderately (30-45mi/week) for the past eight months. Your enthusiasm is infectious and soothes my nerves about how well I'm going to do. I would like to run sub-3:40 but I don't know how realistic that is, as I've never raced further than a half marathon before. I need to internalize that whatever time I run is okay, because there will be more marathons to run in the future and I should not expect too much from myself. Also, about dishes... I dislike cooking pretty intensely, especially complex meals. About a year and a half ago I had to change my diet radically from a whole foods type diet to a purely animal-based diet because of food allergy and autoimmune illness, and honestly it was SUCH a blessing for my kitchen situation LOL. Every meal is basically just a cast iron pan, a spatula or tongs, a cutting board, and a fork and knife. It takes all the time management and stress out of cooking and makes clean-up a joke. Not saying you should do that too, but that's my tip anyway! Cheers girlie, I hope the weather over there improves asap!
When you’re older you’ll get a great sense of perspective. You may still achieve it. I ran in the Seoul Olympic trials without a cat in hells chance of qualifying but I can now look back when I’m plodding round a Park Run and know I accomplished something few others have. Keep the dream going - you never know 😮
Keep the dream alive!! Keep doing what you do and slowly improve. You love the grind, so you can do it. Just take care in not pushing in to injuries. There lots of great marathons to run, so run them. Looking forward to seeing you in Copenhagen 🙂
Hey Phily, thank you for sharing your goals with us! It’s really inspirational and I just love your energy! I hope 2024 will bring you all you’ve wished for and beyond. And, of course, that you’ll have lots of fun in the process. I see in the comments that lots of people woke up this Sunday and decided to troll someone on YT. These are probably people who are sour because they didn’t do their long run yet. We’re all better after a long run 😊 Don’t mind them. Just follow your dreams and I am sure great things will happen in 2024.
Great video! I knew after your last marathon that it would be 2028, which is great (for me) because I’m going to see that marathon! I agree that you won’t regret continuing your quest, but you would regret NOT doing it. What a wonderful life you and Daniel have, what could be better than continuing on? I hope that you are as proud of yourself as we all are of you! GO PHILY!!! By the way, I think your clip hairdo is adorable! Swimming interest is concentrated on the Olympics too. The US has great swimmers, but only diehard fans know anything about them except during the Olympics, it drives me crazy.
My son and I have known two Olympians fairly well. One was one of my gymnastics coaches, and both used to babysit my son when he was a kid. Both are phenomenal people, and being Olympians had nothing to do with their awesomeness. Their uniqueness, perseverance, kindness, and authenticity paved the way for their Olympic journey, not the other way around. The same goes for you, Phily! You have all of those same redeeming qualities, so the sky is the limit for you, with or without the Olympics! The hair clips are awesome too! Love the look!
If you knew more Olympians, you'd see that most really aren't that different than everyone else. Their personalities vary as much as everyone else. Nice people, total jerks and everything in between
@@veganpotterthevegan I have known more than just those two (I was involved in D1 college sport for years and knew a number of college athletes, Olympic athletes, and Olympic level coaches) AND I have studied sport psychology and sport ethics at the doctoral level. I am well aware of the fact that those two Olympians do not speak for the entire population. I was merely speaking on their individual qualities that seem to be in line with Phily's. You obviously read way too much into my comment.
Thank you Philly for all your videos. You give great advice and are a joy to listen to. I’m from Houston, Tx! Keep on chasing your Olympic dream! We all should chase our dreams. 🤗❤️
The selection committee can say it's about top 8 finishers but it's clearly just to save money. A smaller team actually gives you less chances at the top 8 result their aiming for. If we followed that process here in the US 3 years ago Molly Seidel never would've been selected because they would've thought she had no chance to medal.
Really exciting updates! Thank you for sharing your dreams and plans with us. Really hope the new merch is a mug or something similar. I'm a patreon and a huge fan but I'm allergic to wearing logos or slogans. Would 100% drink out of a branded mug though!
In Sweden it's raining, it's windy and just around 0 degree for the last weeks. Before that it was -10 and snow for a 2 months. Can't say I've been loving the grind exactly but I love the progress it has given me in the "down season" and it's finally getting warmer)
Philly I too have moved to Manchester a couple of months ago to pursue my proffesional dream (totally different career) and I just Love your energy! I feel like when I watch your content I just resonate with the cheerful grit of loving the grind. Persistentance pays off and the journey is to be enjoyed. Keep it up guys you are spreading joy.
Well said. What an inspiring outlook. Also agreed there should be more possibilities for runners of your stature. Good luck with whatever you choose to do next and I’ll be watching and rooting for you 🎉
Phily B. I have a side-passion of endurance performance (running and cycling). I stumbled across your channel for the first time about a year ago (and immediately loved it, as did my wife) and I felt you were a marathoner from the first time I saw you run. I truly feel you could make it big in this event. Go smash it!!
Your passion, dedication, encouragement and honesty earn a 10/10 and a Gold Medal in my book! Keep the dream and know that you ARE so much more. Psych major aside…it’s good to remind yourself of that daily! You’re AWESOME young lady!
It might not seem like much but I would love to see you at the Olympics in LA 2028. I was born (and currently live) near San Francisco but went to college down south (closer to Disneyland than Los Angeles). Seeing yourself and the elites in the US who didn’t make the Olympic Marathon team (Emma Bates, Molly Seidel, Sarah Hall, Galen Rupp) and the recent tragedy of Kiptum has motivated me to train harder for the marathon and want to see Olympians in action on the streets of LA.
I currently have a dream, and plan, to run a 100-mile ultra in 3 years time, tackling the preceding distances in the time between. Watching you chase an even more spectacular goal will forever be an inspiration to keep chasing mine. Cheers to chasing the dream, Phili.
gymnastics... another sport that focusses mainly on the Olympics as the top tier goal - one that also has such a young 'retirement' age that if you don't make the cut within your prime years for that olympic cycle... the dream is over! Sport is savage 😂 So stoked for your journey though, cannot wait to see you make it!
Great edition Phily. Best of luck with the ongoing Olympic dream. Two things:-- One: I can't keep Marmite in the house. I live on toast until the jar is finished! Two: It's been raining continuously since October. We aren't conditioned to unrelenting precipitation here in sunny Southampton. I've been diagnosed waterlogged and am developing a Manchester accent.
To your washing up question: We bought a freestanding dishwasher that hooks up to the kitchen tap. You just run it at night or when not using the kitchen. A little pricey but it's been worth its weight in gold!!!
I also think that 4 years is a decent amount of time. You can do it, I wish you all the best. Maybe Kendama skills will come as well ;). Berlin half was fun last year, got a missive PB there. I hope you can do that as well :). Have fun.
Really enjoyed the video. You and Daniel are both so creative - the opportunities are there...! You also highlighted (in a really balanced and fair way) the craziness of the current selection process - if athletes aren't clear, what's the point in them...?!
Can’t stress how much of a huge fan of yours I am Phily, but I think cutting such a huge chunk off you PB’s in time for Paris was always a lofty goal. Would have been almost impossible to run faster than Purdue, Thackery & Harvey in THIS cycle. Keep on grinding and I think you’ve got a huge chance of going to the 2028 olympics! Love the channel, love the grind.
Ugh the rain!!! I live on the US east coast and my half yesterday was in the pouring rain. I was sloshing through 3-inch puddles every couple of minutes. I just tried to embrace how ridiculous it was and enjoy myself. Brrrrrr
I’ve been hoping someone else would ask in the comments by now… but I NEED TO KNOW what mascara you use Phily? Your lashes are goals. Oh yeah, and your running is ok too lol
Needed this video! Had an awful run at the Cambridge half today and very nearly DNF kept going at finished. Although 10 mins slower than my previous half time 😢
The quality of women’s endurance running at the moment is so high! You just need to look at the 10k rankings, there’s effectively only been 2 races this year (Valencia & Trafford) and Philly’s very impressive PB of 32:32 ranks her ‘only’ 11th! 🤯
[16:45] you clip hair style gives me emma watson vibes :) looks good! And nice to hear you're coming to Germany! Not sure if I'll be in Berlin that weekend but I'll definitely cheer on you from the coast of the Baltic Sea!
I'm thinking you should race a marathon major, a quick one. I'm thinking you should consider Chicago in October because...well...I live there and well...I'd be there to cheer you on.
Hold onto the dreams and they will be fulfilled. I believe it’ll happen.. I am qualified and was already to do this race here in United States. It’s 100 mile with 33,000 feet again but I told rip or whatever a hip flexor and a abductor I think at work so I had to cancel but even though I’m 62 I’m refocusing my site on the following year and I also believe I will somedayfinish this race and get requalified run and then hopefully run the race hopefully excellent and like I said, I believe you hold your dreams tight to yourself and keep going for it. They will happen so don’t worry just in enjoy the process and you’ll enjoy life peace.
What sport also focuses solely on the Olympics: gymnastics. Keep crushing it (Olympics or not). 4 years is a long time to grow and improve and I can’t wait to follow the journey ❤
Re washing up cooking and washing. ( I’m leaving the running at the Olympics to you) I am retired but my wife isn’t - so… small dishwasher ( not a child) , prep menus and shopping in advance and wear as few clothes as possible - as an athlete you shower a lot ( hopefully) so the only real washing should be your kit ( I’m a cyclist so I know these things). Also invest in heated drying rack and dehumidifier ( boring myself now) Top vlog…and future as TV presenter or stand up once you’ve been to the Olympics.
I can't switch to swimming to save my life, so have just accepted the fact that I get drenched every time I set foot outside ... and THEN the sun shows up when I am not running... the audacity. I was aware of the US trials because it s such a big deal, shame GB is not doing that now, it is not always about the podium
In 4 years Phily will be, I believe, in her early 30's, that's a perfect age for a marathon. Couple that with several more years of focused marathon training and it's possible. I can't say it's guaranteed because anything can happen in a marathon. But I, for one, will be cheering for her from the other side of the pond.
To be in the top 8 in your country in a race you haven’t competed in very much is so impressive! 🙌
Such a great point!!!
Love how optimistic you’re looking to the future! You have not made it to the absolute top this time but don’t forget you are an elite runner!
Tak!

I watched about 20 of your videos yesterday. I am obsessed with your channel
Me too!! 🤣 can't stop watching them!
Completely believe you will make it to the Olympics & can't wait to watch and cheer on your journey 🎉
I had a chat with Daniel at the end of the 10km this morning- he’s a nice guy 👍Gees that was one fast race 😮
Great work with the channel our family really enjoy your videos, you are an inspiration & funny with it 💪
Best of fortunes to you in running and everything else!
How about a Phily Bowden camp! I’d sign up and travel in an instant!❤❤
SECOND THIS
I love your positivity. I was going to run my dream ultra marathon in 2014 but instead spent 2023 having chemotherapy. Just starting again but I'm determined to get there.
Sorry you didn't get to the 2024 Olympics. Hopefully you can get to the 2028 Olympics or the Olympics at some point in the future. Keep being your amazing self
GO PHILY! Whatever you do, you're going to have a whole bunch of people shouting for you. Big shout out to @daniel as well. The wind beneath your wings. Best wishes to the both of you.
Yoo she's having such a time with recording these. It is probably the happiest I've seen her doing goofy stuff. Forget the major goals, if you don't reach some of them it is not the end of the world. I just wish you'd be yourself at all times and keep making our days consistently. Daniel is a rock btw, having such passion to help Phily is incredible. Keep going guys, cheers!

I love that you've chosen Berlin HM. It will motivate me so much to run the same race as you ❤
Love hearing your goals! You have so much to look forward to ❤❤
100k subs! EASY! You’s make such good content 💕💕💕
That Stephanie Tanner “how ruuude” was a real slap in the nostalgia! Didn’t expect a video with this topic to be so jolly and pleasant. Respect.
Keep the dream alive!!
Keep doing what you do and slowly improve.
You love the grind, so you can do it.
Just take care in not pushing in to injuries.
There lots of great marathons to run, so run them.
Looking forward to seeing you in Copenhagen 🙂

Found your channel over instagram and im really happy about it! What a nice Video! :)
I shared this video with my daughter as inspiration to dream big, aim high, and never give up on your goals.
I’m rooting for you! Olympics or not; you’re an inspiration.
Well said. What an inspiring outlook. Also agreed there should be more possibilities for runners of your stature. Good luck with whatever you choose to do next and I’ll be watching and rooting for you 🎉
I’m starting to get a bit obsessed by running and found your channel - i love it and subscribed already, looking forward to more vlogs - thanks!

Philly loved how you explained your main goal. One day it will all fall into place. As a 60-year-old young Triathlete, I'm totally behind you.
New perspective with your Berlin 2:25 time? Would be great to see you in the GB vest at Europeans, World and Olympic events!
Your passion, dedication, encouragement and honesty earn a 10/10 and a Gold Medal in my book!
Keep the dream and know that you ARE so much more. Psych major aside…it’s good to remind yourself of that daily! You’re AWESOME young lady!
Really enjoying your videos. So interesting to see what an elite athlete does and how you think about planning your year, etc. Keep it up!
It might not seem like much but I would love to see you at the Olympics in LA 2028.

OMG PHILY I‘M RUNNING IM BERLIN AS WELL!! It’s my first race and what actually brought me to your channel
I am sure you will. Love watching your videos and your positive attitude 😊
I currently have a dream, and plan, to run a 100-mile ultra in 3 years time, tackling the preceding distances in the time between.
Watching you chase an even more spectacular goal will forever be an inspiration to keep chasing mine.
Cheers to chasing the dream, Phili.
Nice! I will run the Berlin Half with my Friend and Coach too. Hopefully we can met there :)
gymnastics... another sport that focusses mainly on the Olympics as the top tier goal - one that also has such a young 'retirement' age that if you don't make the cut within your prime years for that olympic cycle... the dream is over! Sport is savage 😂
So stoked for your journey though, cannot wait to see you make it!
think long term Phily! your best years as a marathoner are ahead of you.
Great edition Phily. Best of luck with the ongoing Olympic dream.
Two things:--
One: I can't keep Marmite in the house. I live on toast until the jar is finished!
Two: It's been raining continuously since October. We aren't conditioned to unrelenting precipitation here in sunny Southampton. I've been diagnosed waterlogged and am developing a Manchester accent.
Cannot wait to see you on the tellybox running for GB in the Olympics whenever that happens!
Definitely need more merch, by the time i woke up on the west coast in Canada, it was all gone!
You're going to crush it this year! Not going to lie I was totally unprepared for the Big Lez show whattayatakinabit in there, loved it.
I would have great to see you at the full berlin marathon this year. It's an amazing race and will be my first marathon this year 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
To your washing up question: We bought a freestanding dishwasher that hooks up to the kitchen tap. You just run it at night or when not using the kitchen. A little pricey but it's been worth its weight in gold!!!
Good luck with your next steps. Hope to see you run at Night of the 10000 PBs in May.
I also think that 4 years is a decent amount of time. You can do it, I wish you all the best. Maybe Kendama skills will come as well ;). Berlin half was fun last year, got a missive PB there. I hope you can do that as well :). Have fun.
So glad to hear from your latest update, from a platform, not down again! 😂
I’ve noticed you’ve done this before but gotta say, really appreciate the blurring on your watch stats!
Really enjoyed the video. You and Daniel are both so creative - the opportunities are there...! You also highlighted (in a really balanced and fair way) the craziness of the current selection process - if athletes aren't clear, what's the point in them...?!
Loved that description of the upcoming merch LOL - Hmm, I'm going to guess that it will be...a snow globe LOL =D Love the griiiiiind.
Can’t stress how much of a huge fan of yours I am Phily, but I think cutting such a huge chunk off you PB’s in time for Paris was always a lofty goal. Would have been almost impossible to run faster than Purdue, Thackery & Harvey in THIS cycle. Keep on grinding and I think you’ve got a huge chance of going to the 2028 olympics! Love the channel, love the grind.
YES PHILY! C U IN HIGHGATE! 🎉
Ugh the rain!!! I live on the US east coast and my half yesterday was in the pouring rain. I was sloshing through 3-inch puddles every couple of minutes. I just tried to embrace how ridiculous it was and enjoy myself. Brrrrrr
The secret... Dishwasher 😅 shove it all in and close the door... Bish bash bosh... Gone 🎉 😉😂
Laundry... It's a tale as old as time... Who knows 😂
Good luck on a successful career and 100k ✨
Your channel will grow exponentially. 150k subs🎉
I’ve been hoping someone else would ask in the comments by now… but I NEED TO KNOW what mascara you use Phily? Your lashes are goals. Oh yeah, and your running is ok too lol
Needed this video! Had an awful run at the Cambridge half today and very nearly DNF kept going at finished. Although 10 mins slower than my previous half time 😢
The quality of women’s endurance running at the moment is so high! You just need to look at the 10k rankings, there’s effectively only been 2 races this year (Valencia & Trafford) and Philly’s very impressive PB of 32:32 ranks her ‘only’ 11th! 🤯
It's Over? It never began!!!!! that is fact jack!!! GG! you still got a chance for LA in 2028, If you can muster up the COURAGE!!
Love your videos!! Unrunning relates - what are you using on your lashes?! They look amazing
21:00 What a transition!
We are very much in the same boat with this amount of rain!
I am looking forward to your training log for Berlin. I am going to, hopefully having a PR.
[16:45] you clip hair style gives me emma watson vibes :) looks good! And nice to hear you're coming to Germany! Not sure if I'll be in Berlin that weekend but I'll definitely cheer on you from the coast of the Baltic Sea!
will run my first official half in Berlin this year 🤸🏻🤸🏻🤸🏻see u there
I'm thinking you should race a marathon major, a quick one. I'm thinking you should consider Chicago in October because...well...I live there and well...I'd be there to cheer you on.
Also raining for the last few months in Northern California!
you look really good with the clips on philly
Oh, you will come to my city and I will be racing as well, April 7th! Mostly for fun though, and not anywhere close to sub 70‘ 😅
Loved this one!
Hold onto the dreams and they will be fulfilled. I believe it’ll happen.. I am qualified and was already to do this race here in United States. It’s 100 mile with 33,000 feet again but I told rip or whatever a hip flexor and a abductor I think at work so I had to cancel but even though I’m 62 I’m refocusing my site on the following year and I also believe I will somedayfinish this race and get requalified run and then hopefully run the race hopefully excellent and like I said, I believe you hold your dreams tight to yourself and keep going for it. They will happen so don’t worry just in enjoy the process and you’ll enjoy life peace.
Such a shame you couldn’t reach that dream this year :( hope you can continue to work hard despite this set back 💪
What sport also focuses solely on the Olympics: gymnastics. Keep crushing it (Olympics or not). 4 years is a long time to grow and improve and I can’t wait to follow the journey ❤
Re washing up cooking and washing. ( I’m leaving the running at the Olympics to you) I am retired but my wife isn’t - so… small dishwasher ( not a child) , prep menus and shopping in advance and wear as few clothes as possible - as an athlete you shower a lot ( hopefully) so the only real washing should be your kit ( I’m a cyclist so I know these things). Also invest in heated drying rack and dehumidifier ( boring myself now) Top vlog…and future as TV presenter or stand up once you’ve been to the Olympics.
Just subscribed!!
I can't switch to swimming to save my life, so have just accepted the fact that I get drenched every time I set foot outside ... and THEN the sun shows up when I am not running... the audacity. I was aware of the US trials because it s such a big deal, shame GB is not doing that now, it is not always about the podium
5:04 looooool
