Can’t wait to see you guys in Brooklyn!
Finally, we will get to see Ben and Kofuzi running together! Can’t wait 🤩
Ran the Eugene marathon last week following your 3:30 plan. Really enjoyed the training and the race (my first marathon) and finished in 3:29. Thank you!
Well done!
Wow, well done David!! Congratulations for all your hard work!
100k subs! 🙌🏻 Big congrats to you and Mike, perfect timing for a celebratory run in New York. Hope the rest of the runs go smooth for you leading up Ben.
Right after he said Mike had made 100K I scroll down....and there it is! Congrats Ben, that's huge!!! You deserve 1M in my opinion for all the inspiration you've given all of us over the years!!
Wow, thank you very much!
Ben great video, looking good! Good luck!
All the best for the run Ben + congrats on the 100k subscribers!
Hi Ben, Jay from LA. Congratulations on your 100k mark. Thank you for all the efforts on your clips. I am so happy that you got this. Congrats 🎉🎊🎈 again.
Congrats on the 100k subscribers! Well deserved! 👏
CONGRATS 100k!
Best of luck with the Brooklyn half Ben. Exciting stuff with UTMB coming up later this summer too 👍
It’s great to see you running again. Hope to see you and Kofuzi in Prospect Park! I’m running the Brooklyn Half as well.
Congats on 100k Ben;)
Massive congratulations on 100K subscribers! Epic 💥💪👍
Good to see you back running.
Ben, congratulations on 100k subscribers 🎊
I have been cycling for about 6 weeks due to injury, got about 2 weeks left! Would be awesome for me to see you smash that half marathon, no pressure though! Great video as usual!
At 💯 comments I see the 100k subscribers! Congrats Ben and Sarah! So well deserved! All the best to you ❤️
Looking good, pleased for you 💪
Thanks!
Congratulations on 100k subscribers! It's just a number but a significant one! 👍🍺
Always crazy when your two favourite RUclips Channels crossover (Ben Parkes mentions Geoff Marshall!) Great video as always Ben - coming back strong!
Yes! Geoff is a RUclips legend.. love all his work!
Congratulations on the 100K subs and the silver play button! Be sure to show it off when it arrives. Cheers!
Thanks very much Wayne. All a bit surreal. Will have a big 100k subscriber special soon!
Good to see you back.Best of luck for the Race;I'm looking forward to the footage.I've got the Edinburgh Marathon coming up:I'm hoping to get it done in 3:15.Whatever happens I'm going to enjoy it,it's been a long time coming.
Good luck in Edinburgh!! Enjoy :-)
Can’t wait to see you and Kofuzi together! My two favorite RUclipsrs!
Good to see you back running! Just back from my own injury (actually cracked my head open celebrating a triple Strava crown run...not at all embarrassing....) Got 3 and a half weeks left of my 'Road to Jungle Ultra' series to try and get fit enough. Not long enough really but I have been waiting for this race two years! Not sure which is harder - jungle ultra in tropical heat or trying to make weekly videos about it! Enjoying both though
Good to see an improvement and looking forward to the race.
Also congrats on the 100k subs as well!
Thank you very much Scott!
Great video Ben and good to see you running fast again! Just got my 5k PB 16:44 today training for sub 35 at Manchester 10k. I remember seeing you there a couple years ago I’m sure you’ll be back there soon! Also congrats on 100k
Thank you very much Josh. Congratulations on your speedy 5k!! 35 mins 10k incoming your way!!
Congrats on 100k subscribers, well earned💪
Thank you 🙌
Looking good ! You still have a couple of weeks ! We did 11+ miles this past weekend ..
the topo for RBC BK Half - the big hills in the first 6 miles, then it’s straight to coney a net decent !
Looking forward to seeing you at the Brooklyn Half Marathon... Im actually running the NYRR Brooklyn Half marathon as well.. Good Luck..
Me too .. hopefully we can meet up at the shakeout !
Huge congrats on your 100K subs! Amazing!
Thanks so much!!
Well done on reaching 100k subscribers. Good luck in the Brooklyn Half. Next race for me is the Edinburgh Marathon in just over 2 weeks time.
Good luck Steve!!
So glad to see you back getting after it, can’t wait to see how Brooklyn goes!
My next race is an unsanctioned night road race! We don’t know the checkpoints till we get to the start line and have to work out the quickest route to all points and get back to the start the soonest! So could be a 7km or could be a 12k haha!
Also stoked for the Parkes/Kofuzi collab! 99.9k subs, 100K any moment now🎉
100k subscribers according to youtube, congrats Ben! Well deserved
Lol that Geoff Marshall mention - Crossover of two of my fave RUclipsrs
Hope to catch site of you next weekend in Brooklyn
See you there Carl!
Really looking forward to hearing about your UTMB training/journey as I am in for 2023
Congrats on 100k subs! 🥳
Thank you Jimmy!
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah - where is Sarah's video? :)
Have a blast in BK next Saturday, and welcome. Don’t forget to grab your beer at the stadium and a hot dog in Nathan’s. It will be warm and humid.
Will be going to Nathans for sure!!
Good luck in BK! I’ll be running too, though far less lofty targeting a 1:45. Hoping for a massively fun day either way
Congrats on 100k you to Ben! :)
100 K. Congrats
I recently got a running injury and upped my bike mileage from the odd ride to 100k+ a week,once i began running again the “easy” paces felt easier than before but the faster paces felt very hard due to no top end speed work
Loving the Geoff Marshall shout out!
I'll be running RBC Half! Hope to see you there!
See you there Jerry! Good luck!
Running the Brooklyn half too!!! Hope to see you and Kofuzi there! Going for a PR of sub 1:21 which would be the time qualifier for the NYC marathon
Whoo hoo !!!! 100k up Ben , many congratulations totally deserved. Btw I follow Geoff Marshall too and he reviewed Battersea staion when it opened and made the point "shouldn't it be Battersea Power Station, Station?"
haha.. I remember that video! Thanks Tony!
Oh did you know he's a very keen park runner too?
@@Tonyr2 yes. We see him at parkrun and run through now and then!
Good luck for Brooklyn and enjoy the run with the super cool Kofuzi.
I'm running the Sydney Half Marathon this Sunday, which will be my first race since moving here 🇦🇺
Good luck Ian!!
I'll be repping one of your caps in race day.
I'll make sure I get a couple of pics
"Are you going to warm up?"
"I already have Sarah" 🤨
🤣🤣
I'm doing my first ever half marathon in Battersea Park this Saturday!
Good luck. I'm running that too 👍
I ran the Milton Keynes Half Marathon. It was a lot hillier than I thought it would be. Resting now as I managed to catch covid. 😒
I was thinking of doing a smaller race this autumn.
In America, everything that looks like a biscuit is a cookie. Biscuits are savoury scones there. Pop and soda are the main contentets for fuzzy drinks.
Just got back from New York and Brooklyn last week. Go to westlight rooftop bar at the top of the William vale hotel mate. Great views and not gimmicky
Another great video. I got my marathon PB at Milton Keynes last week 4:15:49. Now preparing for my first ultra in June.
Wow.. congratulations James and good luck in your ultra!
Great to see that this was a confidence builder session for you and not a confidence crusher! I am training for a 50K in the end of June, but it probably won't happen because I have skin cancer surgery scheduled for the 30th of May and will probably not be able to do much training at all for a long time after that for things to heal up properly. It really messed with my head when I found out on Monday. Struggle to find motivation to train when I know most of my fitness will go out the window soon anyway.
All the best with your treatment and recovery.. you'll be back running soon I'm sure! You'll be surprised, your fitness will last longer than you might think.. so don't worry about that. Hope everything goes well on 30th May, speedy recovery!
@@BenParkes Thank you Ben!
Great to see you busting out a 2 x 1k just under 3:30 pace already. All the best for the h.m
Thank you Zac!
Comrades is my next race. Probably will take your recommendation for the RC elite 2. Alphaflys are definitely faster and easier on the legs for me but don't see them doing well if I need to walk parts of hills. So RC elite will hopefully do better. Going for a sub 9 hour. Glad to see you running again. Great video as usual
Good luck Jonathan! That would still be the shoe I'd chose if I was running this year. Hope you have a great race!
Cabot Trail Relay race on Cape Bretton Island. Had knee surgery in November after slipping down some steps, but worked up to 40 miles a week.
Just run the Chiltern Ridge 50k last weekend and next is the London 2 Brighton 100k at the end of the month, using one of your training plans. Hope the rest of your training goes well.
Good luck Craig! Would love to do London to Brighton one day. Best of luck for the race!
I am running Edinburgh in a couple of weeks, so I am going to run the virtual Brooklyn half on Sunday (running it at my Marathon pace ) as my last 13.1 during the taper.
Good luck John!
Running my first marathon in Copenhagen this Sunday. Aiming for 3:30 but still not fully recovered from Covid so might be a bit slower now :)
Good luck Kim!!
You can do it and it might be close but you'll smash it!
Funny enough I'm doing Battersea Park Half tomorrow. Then spectating at Night of the 10000 Pbs at Highgate Harriers track.
Great video as always 👍
Hope the race went well Brian!
@@BenParkes Thanks Ben.🙂 I was slow, nothing to do with the 40th Party is was at last night 🤔
It's from the Plane trees.- always the same in May. They shed tiny prickly things which get caught in your throat and eyes. I did a session in Battersea Park on Saturday and I was coughing and spluttering.
Hope Sarah’s achilles settles and good luck for Brooklyn Ben …. You’ll be fine by the looks of it 👊🏃🏻♂️👍
Thank you very much Michael!
Have been a long time subscriber on your channel Ben...since I have been following your channel my PB for 5k has come from 19.46 to 15.05!
Wow, that's amazing David!! What a transformation in times!
Congratulations 100k subscribe
You planning any sort of meetup in BK/NYC prior to the race? Shakeout run that Friday could be fun!
am i the 100000th sub? been watching for a while but finally subscribed!
Welcome to the channel officially! :-)
I'm running Brooklyn too. It's going to be my 3rd time doing the race. I'm hoping to PR. It's not flat but fast. Prospect Park is hilly. There's a decent hill mile 4-5.
I hope you have a good time in Brooklyn. Make sure you get a good bagel. The bagels you have usually have look sad compared to what I'm used to Brooklyn.
haha. Can't wait to get some NYC bagels!! Good luck in the race Bernard!
Big training block coming up, I'm running newport marathon and need to get in under 6hours 30mins had a few months injury but back feeling good
Ultra Trail Hungary
76km in the Pilis Hills starting at 2am. Can't wait!!
Good luck Anthony! 2am start will be fun!!
Sounds fun! My next race is a midnight start in the jungle.... going to be fun spotting the snakes! 'Only' 55km though so you get a HM more fun
Chuckling to myself at the thought of being able to run 3:30 splits for a half marathon! Anyway, Great Manchester Run Half for me next, training hasn’t gone well so just going and planning to have a good time.
one of my dads friends did that majorca bike rides as well. sounds super fun but difficult and tiring
Hey. Your at 100k after my subscription..I think ;). Congratulations
Wish me luck in the Chicago Spring 1/2 marathon. Looking for a PB and will be following the Galloway method of 3-5min run and 30 walk. Hoping for an average of 10min/mile pace.
I'm going too 👐🏃
haha! you know geoff marshall :D love that guy!
poor Sarah, just wanted to follow the maps. We all hope this training goes to plan! 1.15 HM is quite a obstacle on its own so all the best
Cookies instead of biscuits :) I'm using your plan to do my first 50 miler in July.
Doing the Battersea Half this coming Saturday. Hoping for a PB! Keep up the great content, Ben.
I'm debating this! Need to grow some balls and just sign up!
You can do it Harriet!
Look at them fast legs go! Piew piew!
Maybe an anti-allergies cap in the line-up next year? 🤔
Congrats on 100K Ben! I started on following you on strava maybe the day you had a diagnosis on your injury a few weeks ago - and now as you are back running again I find myself injured! I think it is patellar tendonitis (I had been running through the knee tingly feeling) and so taking some rest time now. I have recently been running in new Next% as I got them for the recent Putney half marathon but had also been running in some old Pegs which really need replacing and I think that's where I have developed knee issues as they have done many, many miles. I want to begin building a rotation but I need a shoe that is going to be super kind to my legs for easy miles - not interested in going very fast in them I have my Next% for those. Any recommendations? All the best for Brooklyn!
Have a look at the New Balance 1080 v10 or v11.. should be able to find some deals on them. Great daily shoe. Or the Nike Invincible is a very soft easy run shoe. Hope you get your injury sorted soon!
Hi great video, I am running the Swansea half marathon on June 12th hoping for a pb sub 88
Good luck James!!
i love the fact your using a canyon bike
My next race? 2023 Linz half marathon. 🤞 🇦🇹
Hello hello! Thanks for this This positive energy Ben !! Just thought I’d drop you a name of Holyfat brutal that makes “gels” based on fat ( almonds,peanuts etc) which might be a good fuel for looooooong rides not to run out of energy :) and get it done !
Im doing Tromso half next month ☺️
How exciting!! Good luck!
wanna get stated training for the london marathon any suggestions^?
I’ve just recently got back in to running and have been a bit silly and have done too much too soon and am now suffering from really tight hamstrings, any one have any advice on the best things to do for this problem? First time I’ve ever experienced this, cheers in advance!
Easy jogging or walking will help loosen off your hamstrings. Couple that with stretching after workouts (do not cool down before you stretch) and it should help out massively. If you have access to a bike then cycling can gently can also loosen off tight muscles too
It’s never the other half’s fault Ben 😂
It's always crazy hearing serious runners hit you with "just chill relax easy pace.." and then say slightly faster than your 10k pace 🙃
I’m Training for a new Parkrun PB 😋 I swear it harder to run a fast 5k than an 55k ultra 😅
How hard do you need bike, in terms of power, cadence, or any other metrics to equate to easy 8:00 running?
It's the London Plane trees causing the itchy eyes and throat, they are a nightmare even if you don't have hayhever
That makes a lot of sense Janet, thank you for letting me know!
Gonna pace someone (female) this coming sunday for 10k. Goal is sub 50 for very tough and hill course. Gonna test out the 361 Speed feisu 2.
Good luck to you both!
@@BenParkes Thank You and likewise to you for the Brooklyn half 🙏☝️🇵🇭
I’m doing the Salem apple pie 🥧 5k. The first 20 finishers get an apple pie. I’m hoping to break 20 minutes.
Good luck!! Hope you get a pie!
@@BenParkes Thank you!! It’s a really good home made pie. Good luck with your half marathon.
Your running UTMB? How did you get a spot? What races did you earn your stones in?
I can’t remember exactly, as it’s been deferred from 2020. NDW100 mile and Thames Path 100 I expect!
@@BenParkes how much does UTMB registration cost? Just curious
99.9k 😳
