HARRY STYLES FANS are convinced a new cryptic website could signal the launch of his next album, and online speculation is already in overdrive. Music aside, Styles also made headlines in 2025 for something else entirely: running a marathon in a seriously impressive 2:59:13.
Unsurprisingly, the training behind that performance was intense.
Speaking to The Independent, Styles’ trainer Thibo David revealed that the singer’s one-mile personal best sits at just 5 minutes and 13 seconds. Despite some gruelling sessions, including 300-rep warm-ups, David says the programme was flexible and adapted to how well Styles was recovering.
‘We would adapt to how he feels and his schedule,’ David explained. ‘Some days we’d focus purely on recovery. Other days it might be mobility, or we’d add boxing depending on what he had coming up, because he really enjoys that. We mixed it up a lot.’
Running formed the backbone of the routine. Styles would often start sessions with a 20-30 minute run, followed by 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 squats. From there, he’d move into strength training, conditioning circuits and core work, before finishing with a cooldown.
That final element, David says, was crucial. Rather than keeping the body in a heightened state, the cooldown helped bring everything back down and prepare Styles for the rest of the day.
