    Nice one Ben. The thing is most of us can’t imagine running at this pace, but we can relate to that feeling when you absolutely nail a race. Great job! Captured that feeling on your face perfectly of the moment you it sinks in you’ve just had a run where everything has just come together as well as you could have hoped for it to have done. Chuffed to bits for you.

    Hey Ben, this is fantastic! I cannot even imagine to hold such incredible pace for 5K, maybe maximum 1K, and it would still be extremely hard for me. So you're BIG INSPIRATION!!! Thanks a lot for sharing all this with us.

    Great running Ben, very inspiring, great to see the endurance also helping with speed! You mentioned you cleaned up your diet in the last few weeks, would be interested to hear more about this in one of your future videos, maybe what you'd typically eat in a day or what you cut out etc. Thanks, good luck in Boston 💪

  • @johnhiggins674
    @johnhiggins674 Год назад +2

    Well done Ben, great running. 😀
    I managed a parkrun PB on Saturday, only my third ever sub twenty and exact match of my overall 5k PB from last year.
    Marathon training seems to benefit shorter runs, my last two marathons have both been preceded by a 10k PB the week before.
    Hopefully a good omen for Manchester. 🤞
    Good luck in Boston. 😀
