The highs and lows of marathon training 📈📉 gotta embrace it all. I think I need to return to this exposed loop again for another workout! The grind was reel! 👊🏻
Not hitting scheduled paces are all apart of the process. My 1st marathon build I was pretty much spot on. 2nd marathon build is where I learned this. During those “failed workouts” I just think to myself there’s no way I’m not better than If I didn’t get out there and try the “faster paces.” Anyways good vid Ben, looking forward to see how u cook it up at the half
@@User90126 honestly just work hard and you can get better, that just isn’t as crazy as it sounds, I was at 20 minute about a year ago, consistent mileage progress and you can get better. You can get an 18 minute 5k 💪💪💪
How come your Copenhagen marathon countdown widget has the Spanish flag? 🇪🇸😅 awesome city for coffee and beer, hope you have time there before and after the running to enjoy some delicious beverages 🇩🇰
My marathon is in 8 weeks and I did a half yesterday at target marathon pace. I really struggled. My heart rate should be 15 bpm lower if I want to keep this pace for the full. Not sure at this point if it is even feasible or I should reconsider. I will have to see how coming weeks turn out.
8 weeks is still plenty of time. Keep the training consistent and you never know. It’s also possible you were having an off day or carrying the fatigue from the training so don’t worry too much! It’s crazy what you can do on race day
@@BenIsRunning The entire kit is adidas so I thought they must be supporting you guys. I mean they should as your videos will be seen by thousands of runners!
Completely off-topic but Will O'Connor has broken down the advantages of using a Stryd power meter. What are your thoughts on power meters in running and have you ever considered getting one?
hi ben. im a student athlete here in philippines. i am really working hard for sub16 mins 5k. however, the garmin that was given to me a not working anymore. by any chance do you any spare watch that you will gonna sell?
love these collabs dude. 2 of my favorite running youtubers!
Absolutely respect this, realistic training vlogs are so much better than only the best workouts
Little subtle positivity from Nick out there, what a duo 👌🏻

Love these collabs
Had the same problem with my long run felt a bit down after but this helped a lot !
Keep going buddy- everyone has those days in running 🏃♂️
Not that I can ever dare to run these paces but this video is very relatable
Brilliant video , both excellent athletes . I was hoping Nick was going to give you some boom shakalaka socks 😂
Great video as always. Interesting when watching from the rear how your left leg lifts a lot more on the up kick 🤔
There was such a good joke in the title waiting for you:
"this marathon workout got the BEST of me"
2 of some of my favourite creators in the running space by a country mile.
I do love these hedges ❤
Each for there own
Those splits are crazy, I just ran a 5k pb of 18:14, can’t imagine doing that workout 😂👏💪
18:14 is crazy i did a 5k pb 2 weeks ago of 20:15 I could never imagine doing a 18 min 5k 👏
@@User90126all relative I guess. Congratulations on the pbs!

Your worst run is someone else's dream. Only ever compete against yourself, and enjoy the journey.
Got a fine!! Translation!! Had to pay his fare! 😂 brilliant 👏 👌

@@BenIsRunning Thanks for the confidence boost!
Ha ha Nick can’t stop himself from coaching 😅👍
Saludos desde mexico 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Good content lads
Thank you
Adidas are all over this sponsorship. Fair play, you guys have earned it.
Not sponsored, just decided to match kits like losers 😂
@@BenIsRunning The entire kit is adidas so I thought they must be supporting you guys. I mean they should as your videos will be seen by thousands of runners!
Watch out for the speed camera at 7:07 !
Nick comes all the way to you on the train gets a fine and then runs on his own lol
😂😂😂
Hope you didn't get caught with another fine by that speed camera at 7:07 🙂
It may or may not be a fake ;)
we need more of you too together
Love your content Ben! Question, are all of your videos shot with the Go 3 or only when you’re running?
Ben what is your weekly training load showing on your watch. Must be in the thousands! It's a cracking watch.
Got the bester of you
Waheyy 👊🏻
See you at the Copenhagen Marathon 😉
Who's gonna tell ben that he still has an impaulsive episode saved on his training in kenya playlist?

Nick got a speeding ticket! 😂
Bro i have it band syndrome give me some tips ro recovery
What is the countdown app you’re using? Thanks!
I’m pretty sure CPH Marathon starts at 9:30 and not 10:00 like you have on your countdown widget 🤔
Nick = monster
You should collaborate with my cousin Alex Gladley
Can someone comment on the roll-on? I googled it and it sounds like some absolute bollocks
Puresport freeze
hi ben. im a student athlete here in philippines. i am really working hard for sub16 mins 5k. however, the garmin that was given to me a not working anymore. by any chance do you any spare watch that you will gonna sell?
Where did you get the countdown widget?
Ben what half you doing Sunday, not Brentwood by any chance?
I will be doing the Brentwood half Sunday.
I ran the bath half :)
What was that you wore rubbing on your legs at the start?
Puresport freeze roll on. Good for reducing soreness on the muscles
@@ZuhairKhan thank you
@@ZuhairKhanridiculous
Nice dive at 6.17 mins
Ben's bots strike again 😂
😡😡😡
Ben's time was worse on the 4th rep cos he slowed down for the speed camera so he wouldn't get a ticket. Nick's second fine of the day.
Is it just me who sweats when run?
Nick wasn't entertaining that "if I fall off the back" stuff...
First
These bots are trying to beat me 😮
@@fabsterunthey’ve got no chance
@@BenIsRunning indeed
Lost a lot of interest/respect in the channel when you paired up with him. You’re better than that.
Why?
You take running way to seriously..... its only a hobby pal
You're definitely the life of a party aren't you 🤣
@evanorourke5685 it's good to see nick bester destroy this little twerp. Nick is on a totally different level
@evanorourke5685 good to see this little twerp quit the workout and nearly be in tears after lmao
