Episode 121 of A Runner’s Life podcast is sponsored by Tracksmith, who actively represent and support the development of a runner’s life in the running community.
In this episode I speak with elite runner Phily Bowden who is an Aldershot Farnham and District club member, who competed for Britain at the Under-23 European Athletics Championships in 2017. She is being coached by former British Olympian Helen Clitheroe.

Before we talk about the Sevilla marathon we talk about transitioning into the marathon distance from the middle distances. We also talk about the build up to Sevilla, including some key workouts plus the race itself.
We discuss how she has embraced social medial, she has a YouTube Chanel and did a great recap of her debut marathon in Sevilla, to watch it click this link.
In modern life in the word failure gets a bad reputation, in this part of the conversation Phily discusses a couple of areas where we as runners can reframe failure, and see it as a stepping stone to development.
Plus we spoke about so much more that she hasn’t covered in other conversations.
