    Really enjoyed Sunday’s race - knocked 70 seconds off my age group PB, and even managed to finish 1st in my M70-74 category in the first race in my Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 shoes.

      Interestingly my training has been focussed on the Amsterdam 1/2 Marathon in 3 weeks time - Sunday was very much a warm up race to gauge how the 1/2 Marathon training was going - definitely got an answer to that question!

    i feel really inspired and educated from how you handled getting the cold just before the race... maybe weird, but if that was me i would have been thinking my race is not going to go well, i put in all that training for nothing, etc.. you seemed to shrug it off and give it a really good go anyway. keep doing what you're doing! you are a really inspiring person!

    • @BenIsRunning
      @BenIsRunning  Год назад +5

      To be honest I certainly was feeling pretty gutted the night before but it’s one of those things you can’t change so I find it best to try to reframe things and just told myself to give it everything I had regardless :)

    ran my first 10k race ever this last Sunday. Started running 4 months ago, not able to go 2 miles without stopping. Got 50:12 in the 10k, which I'm super proud of, and already looking forward to the next one, and breaking 50!

    • @FabianRWhite
      @FabianRWhite Год назад +1

      Going from not being able to do 2 miles without stopping to 50 minutes in the 10km is pretty great stuff. I know people who have been running for years who would love to have your time. Keep it up, and I hope you enjoy it. :D

    How long before a race do you warm up? Because i usually start my warmup about 1 hour before the race and one hour before your race you where just chatting to the camara. Also did you just not have a group for the majority of the race? That i think is the most important thing to achive your goal.

    Hi Ben! Awesome vid and PB!! Do you often run races in brand new carbon plates shoes? About to run my first marathon in a pair of vaporflys but have put limited kilometres into the shoes. Owned a pair previously so I know tried and true. Trying to find the line between breaking them in but also not wanting to run the plate through as you know they are so expensive :D

    • @BenIsRunning
      @BenIsRunning  Год назад +1

      I usually wouldn’t wear them brand new but as I’ve worn alphaflys hundreds of times I knew I wouldn’t have any issues. If it was a brand new model say, I’d certainly want to break them in first just to be sure :)
