The Honest Reality of Living with a Pro Athlete - Pros & Cons 

Get him to 10k subs guys, that marathon is calling 😉

Recent sub here (to both channels). Can we just take a moment to see a man supporting - actually *uplifting* - a woman in his life with no hint of ego because he recognises what a powerhouse she is? Great to see this kind of honesty.

Con - surely the amount of washing 😂

This is high key adorable, especially when Daniel imitates Phily's speech patterns

Yes that is a very good angle. Pro athlete partner. It applies to anyone that is a partner to someone that is pursuing a lofty goal.

That time apart is a blessing, take it from someone who’s been married 16 years. So important to have your own lives and space

Thank you for sharing! My boyfriend was a student rower on a high level in the first 2 years we have been toghether (he is a coach in rowing now). He trained around 10 times per week most times and I had most of the experiences you had (guilt, explaining to family why he would not come to an event, bedtime..) . I think it made our relationship better because we had to learn how to communicate very soon 😂😊 He paced me in my first half Marathon (without running a lot before haha) and people shouted at him to go faster because he made it look so easy😂

Tbh I think my husband feels this a lot living with me. I'm not as much of an athlete (though I did run a half marathon recently!) but I'm a medical student. He sacrifices so much and supports me so much (also making most of the food and doing a lot of the stuff behind the scenes to keep the doggies and house running) and speaking as the supported partner, thank you so much for all you do

Good as always. Having a partner that supports is what helps make her successful. Love both channels. Keep grinding

Coming over from Phily'schannel and definitely subscribed! You're so empathetic and very well spoken 😊

Great to see you building your own channel and going on your own journey, great to see! Also, great that you have someone like Philly in your life to help - You guys are awesome!

Yay for a new upload! I like your videos Daniel, you're enthusiastic, candid and thoughtful. Your reflection about the pros and cons is nuanced and honest. Have a good day!

I also signed up for my very first half marathon!!! October 5th 2024!! Thank you so much for sharing your training journey. I find this new challenge very scary but sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone. Wishing you all the best Daniel and Philly!! 🤗🇨🇦

I thought this was super interesting. I get migraines too, and they completely destroy the entire day. I love your content because it’s super real and honest and interesting! Good luck with all the litter trays!

Another great video Daniel. I know the feeling of living with a marathon runner, it can be frustrating at times.

I love this insight, Daniel. Every successful athlete thanks their support network, partner, friends, etc., but we very rarely get to hear the latter's perspective. Awesome work!

Love the content! This video was a bit like seeing behind the scenes. Thank you for taking us along the journey 😌

Philly is very lucky to have you Daniel 😊 Id have thought a con was that your training successes could feel a bit less awesome when you are comparing yourself to a professional? in my house I'm the most amazing runner even if I've only done 5km that week!

Your content is so good Daniel!! Your channel NEEDS to blow up! It’s so good! 🔥

Your videos have been inspiring my runs. Keep them coming! And wondering… who inspires you and Philly. Any running heroes?

Great video, Daniel ! Thank you for the behind the scenes :) Can't believe there was no mention of the amount of laundry in the cons columns ! 🤪 PS : At 10:35, what is the brand of the cat shelves ? They look great !

Good video with a lot of insight. Now, I'm gonna head out and find a pro athlete!

Daniel, I absolutely love your honesty, your openness and your willingness to play what some people ("blokes") might consider a 'supporting role'. You're not that. You are brilliant at what you do, and being who you are. All power to you, and to Philly. I'll be looking out for that Houston time from Philly. And for that 1/2 marathon time! What is the 'A' goal (as Philly would say)?

A fun perspective! You're definitely running 42K in 2024, so good thing you're learning to love the grind!

Another great video, Daniel! Will Phily be doing a similar video? That would be awesome! =D C'mon 10k subs, that marathon awaits!

For my part, plenty of time I don't want to get out for a run, but I never regretted getting out by the time I am back.

Great insights - I guess the family of an athlete typically sacrifice quite a lot behind-the-scenes.

That wall mounted cat tree situation is bangin though!

I can really relate to this, you forgot one major pro though. When she achieves one of her ambitious goals you are not only proud of her, you feel like you´ve been part of that achievement, even for just swapping that nice slice of pizza for a salad or by going to bed early on the day of that great party or concert.

Subscribed … but why wait until 10,000?

nice video Daniel! my wife and I (from Aurora, Colorado, USA) will also being doing the Houston Marathon.

10pm is late as! I go to bed at 7pm, wake up at 3am. What time do you wake up?

Do you have a goal time for your half marathon yet?

Ultra at 15k? If yes I’ll subscribe

You guys are so flipping adorable

When Phily catches a cold, she is building her immune system. Think of it that way. It has to happen once in a while!

So, if Philly is the pro, does that make you the con Daniel? No, no. It doesn't :)

Sorry to hear you suffer from migraines. Hope you can avoid the triggers and feel well as much as possible. Enjoy the 🐈 🐈.

One more subscriber on the way to the half

Didn’t realise I hadn’t subscribed my man, I feel ashamed 😂

Did you read Phillys script word for word?😂

Shout out for cleaning your house before asking friends to pet-sit! I've done quite a bit of pet-sitting in the last 2-3 years and it's sometimes a bit atrocious spending the first 2-3 days in a state of disgust, having to clean everything before you feel okay even touching it, let alone eating off it or sleeping in it.

Daniel I'm sure Phily would have mentioned this but when you finish your Half Marathon ... put in for your Marathon - why.... because you have already done half the training just carry on with the training!!!

Damn fur-babies! 😹
