    Parkrun content is the best ben. Don‘t sell it short. It is so honest, hands on and familiar for lots of us. I really enjoy this „casual“ content.
    Keep it up Ben and never forget to enjoy the journey.

    I love the way you motored through the parkrunners when you needed to catch up with your sister.

    This is the content 99% of us runners can relate too. Love the parkrun content. Ellie, you star with your new PB.

    I think people love parkrun content because it's so relatable and "accessible" to the majority of us "casual" runners. Don't get me wrong, the elite stuff is fantastic too, but there is absolutely no harm in covering both ends of the spectrum! Keep up the fantastic work. Oh, and get yourself down to Great Cornard parkrun one Saturday, we aren't that far from you and it'd be good to have you there :)

    Nothing like a parkrun PB! I get my sister, who is far quicker than me, to be my pacer when I’m pushing for a personal best, always feels like a team effort when we cross the line 💪🏻

    I paced my 11 year old niece on her first 5k run last Sunday. She ran it in 28:28, which impressed me a lot. It was also quite enjoyable for me so I will be doing more pacing, perhaps on a few half marathons for 2 hours or something so I can get my easy miles in while enjoying the run.
    Ps. Keep doing these things. It's what most of us came here for in the first place.

    Hi Ben, it would be lovely if you popped down to Clare Castle parkrun, where I direct. It’s not to far for you and maybe try and beat our current course record of 16:10, which has been held for nearly 5 years.

  • @dannyarter6133

    Maybe try Brighton! We have the seafront (Hove lawns) which is flat or Preston park. Maybe Worthing? Again another flat course.

    Great seeing that running is a family affair and congrats to your sister for smashing a PB. We don't have Parkruns (or very many of them) in the US. Interesting concept and would be nice to have a free 5K time trial once in a while. Congrats on all your successes Ben. You've come a very long way in the past year or so when I first started watching. The channel is taking off and so is your running. Love the content.

  • @Zach-ji3gh

  • @finnrattray

    Ben have you ever tried starting right at the back and trying to win at the front? Giving the field about a 2 minute head start It’s a good tempo workout that’s quite a fun game. Did it before when I arrived late lol.
