I'm less than 2 weeks out from running my 1st Boston marathon and this is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you Stephen!
I needed this video. I also ran in the SEAA Relays on Sunday & that signalled the start of my taper for Manchester Marathon in less than 2 weeks. Woke up yesterday feeling like absolute death and have been worried that all my hard training over the last few months has gone to waste as I’ve had to take a few days off to rest and shake off this illness. That mindset is going to do me no favours, I need to remind myself that all my hard work will pay off on the 16th and I will get the sub 2:40 I deserve. Thanks Stephen!
1 year late, but exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks ❤
I did a cycling yesterday and felt crappy 2 days before even losing sleep. Creating stressful situations ahead of time is advice I will continue to follow. Excellent video
Brilliant, useful, insightful video! Thanks a lot for posting.
Excellent tips man, thanks!! Great channel
Great advice Stephen, thank you
Just wanted to say thank you Stephen for always going out of your way to help us in so many different ways!!!
Thank you Stephen! Very useful tips for beginners like me. Have a nice day! 😉
What a video bang at the right time for me....about to start taper and am start to freak out lol
For me, in the distant past when I did race, the nerves (a sickening sensation of weakness and total unpreparedness) were essential to a good performance. Never ran well when I felt fit and confident in the warmup and earlier in the day. Nerves were worse when i was very fit and knew I was ready to run fast and win the race. It probably came down to a fear of throwing the race away by making a stupid error - getting boxed in. missing the final sprint due to lack of concentration etc - or simply not being willing to hurt enough on the day. These nerves are what distinguished the race from even the most severe training and enabled that 1% extra to come out.
Many thanks for the subtitles!
Boom, the best running video i've ever seen. Thank you buddy or should i say 'will do coach'
I am ready!! Thank you for the video
Another amazing video Coach Scully 🙏🏾
Thanks SO much Stephen!! 11 days out from my 1st HM, & to be honest, this buildup has felt so different to races in the past. I definitely feel much more prepared, & u have played a big part in that! I’m glad a few of your suggestions I already use. For me on race day it’s a particular song I listen to in my warmup that snaps me into character/gets my armour on. Works for me!!
This video is exactly what I needed, thank you! I don't have a race but I do have an interview tomorrow, and these tips are very transferable to other important situations such as interviews.
Love this & can’t wait to implement the advice during my next marathon!
This was literally me on Sat morning last in Westport. Fantastic training destroyed by a rotten night night before race😕
