Get ready to lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement, because Holly B has just dropped some truly useful running wisdom! Fresh off her epic experience at the New York Marathon, where she beat her personal best, Holly is sharing her secrets to success.
In a new video over on her YouTube channel, Holly spills the tea on her transformation from a running newbie to a marathon runner in just one year. You’ll need to check out the video yourself to hear all her top tips, but here are our faves:
First up, Holly’s golden rule: Start slow to go fast. This is the mantra that powered her through the early days of her training, and she really wishes someone had whispered this in her ear when she first started. By pacing yourself and avoiding the temptation to sprint out of the gate, you’ll build endurance without burning out – a true game-changer!
Eyeing up that marathon dream yourself? Then consider teaming up with a trainer. With the guidance of coach Lucy Davies, Holly crafted a training plan that was strategic and carefully created to help her meet her goals.
The third tip we loved hearing from Holly was to make sure you’re eating enough real, nourishing food when you’re running to make sure you’re fueling your body properly. This is the time to enjoy big plates of pasta and plenty of protein!
