She is being coached by former British Olympian Helen Clitheroe. Thank you to everyone that sent questions in for the audience questions section.

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.
