Glad you think so! Hope this side of the sport doesn’t vanish as I’m aware it’s not the most exciting in comparison to all these big track events that are popping up
Great racing Ben. It would be interesting to know your new coaches theories on training. Early days yet but will be interesting to see if there is much difference in your new schedule.
Hi Ben, have you thought about doing a video based on your diet? Be great to get some advice on your day to day diet as well as how you fuel before an event 👍👍👍
Yes I agree. It’s more of a testing procedure than making 1500m the focus as much as I would love to go under 4. Looking ahead to the marathon towards the end of the year as the main goal
My no spoilers prediction is close to if not break 4 minutes in the 1500m. And then maybe it's a bit of a stretch, but maybe sub 9 minutes for a 3k after the 1500m. Edit: Heyy I was bang on with the 1500m, and I was right for the 3k, sub 9 minutes after the 1500m, that's ridiculous! You can defitinitely break 4 minutes in the 1500m with some more speed work, and probably even 4 minutes in the mile, (3:59 1500m is right around 4:16 or so for a mile), and who knows, maybe you can train to break 8 minutes in the 3k? It might be a bit difficult, but even if you don't plan on trying to do that, 8:29 for a pr is still amazing, a time that I would LOVE to have for a 2 mile sometime, and sub 4 minute mile for me sometime I would LOVE those times, that's my dream goals anyways. Keep up the amazing work Ben!
how do you draw blood for the lactate test? do you have those lancet things? does the lactate strip touch your skin at all? if yes then you'll get mixed results
Not quite the fastest 1500 in a hat. Dave Wottle - Olympic 800 champion in 1972 - raced in a hat and ran a 3:52 mile in 1973 so you have some way to go!
Don't y'all just love when ben is running???
I am just hooked, love him! Humble and the best person in the running scene
The cameraman is an awesome hypeman. Loved it.
@@tobuslieven don’t tell him this. He’ll want a camera at every race 😂
When is the 800 coming?
@@livegamer-cn1ll if this comment gets 20 likes I’ll do it

@@BenIsRunning 👀👀 Looks like it’s about to go down 🫡🫡
So exciting to see eventually how your running evolves in the new coaching relationship. All the best in projects forward!
Me too, thank you!
Love the club running vids. Your channel is definitely the most varied in terms of running content across the whole of RUclips
Getting points for the team makes small meets really cool :) great running and some serious data for your coach there :)
Glad you think so! Hope this side of the sport doesn’t vanish as I’m aware it’s not the most exciting in comparison to all these big track events that are popping up
Brilliant stuff, you are such a talented runner. Looking forward to seeing how you grow with this coach. Getting data is gonna help 🎉
Lol! You say warm down as well!! Sarah gave Andy all sorts of grief for that on the Running Channel 🤣
@@sarahhagen2051 purely for the appreciation continuity. WU + WD
I thought exactly the same!

Plan to document the whole process 🫡
I was timekeeping at the event, was good to see you run.
@@iankent8102 thanks for volunteering Ian! Appreciate the support
Love how your teammate turned the 3000m hurdles into a high jump anno 1936 at 6:40 😂
@@JustBrowsing777 Tom is jumping
Love the green and gold kit. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi! 😜
Ahah love it
Hi Ben, have you thought about doing a video based on your diet? Be great to get some advice on your day to day diet as well as how you fuel before an event 👍👍👍
Excited to see how the lactate testing goes - seems quite extreme but it clearly works! Well done on the races!
Well done to you and Joe! Happened to race Joe at a meet in June in the 800m and recognised him in the vid! Keep running to inspire❤
Great to see you Ben, I always enjoy your vlog's & have fun in Boston!
Appreciate it Robert, thank you
I’ve literally been waiting , checking RUclips everyday for another upload
@@tjsanders6547 thanks bud! Hope you enjoyed this one
ben is running is one of the running channel i love to see
Appreciate that, Thanks
Loved your teammates commentary on the 1500 😂
Cheers Nige
We will love to see you do a parkrun in Copenhagen next time you come!.
My wife would put me on the BBQ if i was running all afternoon instead of attending said BBQ. She’s a keeper Ben
Ben. Thanks for the endless qualilty videos. QQ - d'you still use PureSport Cordyceps?
That looks like a great day of racing! well done. the track was smokin' 🙂
@@severiner7168 it was indeed. Ran so fast it nearly caught fire
excited for the puma x pr shoe vid
Great running Ben.🏃
@@tommylawlor2857 thanks Tommy
Loved this weeks podcast. They just keep getting better and better 💪
Glad you like them! Plenty more to come
Love these kind of videos when you race on the track 👍
@@IfanJones31 thanks bud, appreciate the feedback
Your channel is why once I found what I wanted to make content about, I couldn't name my channel "Ben is Running" 😂
Damn 100K soon!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ben, I train there in Stevenage I feel privileged that I have run on the same track as you 🎉🏃
Classic sunshine and showers. Weather chat yeah
@@crayontom9687 gotta love the British summer
Looking great with the longer hair Ben!
@@iammoweyy thank you! Thought I’d try something a little different
Nice one Ben🎉
Genuinely interested, why do runners run a 5k before the real race as a warm up?
Arent your legs more tired then?
can't wait you get your 100k❤🎉
Great Running Ben! BTW, what’s the significance of the person doing the sukhasana pose about 14:00 minutes in in the bottom right of the screen?
@@TheRealJavahead that’s Meg. Been there since I started the channel. If you tap it, it subscribes you to my channel
@@BenIsRunning Really! First time we noticed it, and we’ve watched all your content.
Only 8mmol after the 1500m? I think you can do close to 3:50 with 3 weeks of moderate volume and specific work! Love from Norway @benisrunning

Jacob has the best calves in the NAL
Indeed! Very versatile
Hope to see more track races
@@wtsang1 got a few more planned in so I’ll keep them coming
Had to plug the calves 💪
🤣
Are you using an armband hr monitor? How do you find the accuracy?
4:02 AND 8:43 is fkn flyin mate. 🎉
Thanks will 🫡
Respect Ben🎉❤❤
An NAL in Stevenage has never had so much attention 😂😂
Get Ben to 100k subs 🎉 , ive been here since before 5k subs 🥳
Its coming soon :)
omg yeah I hadn't noticed it had jumped so much, amazing!
Listening to the streets, fifa 05 soundtrack was 🔥
8 is very high lactate,, but normal after a max effort... treshold often about 3,5..
After a max effort I was expecting higher. Some track cyclists can produce numbers above 30mmol/l
@@BenIsRunning yes, anyway very strong running on the 3000 after burning some energy on the 1500🤛👌👏
Hi Ben what is discount code for Vaga?
I’ve always wondered, is Ben really running….or is Run benning
Love for ben from India 🎉
@@rudolfmawroh5600 thank you!🙏
what times did the 800 boys run?
Time to replace those wipers, Ben.
Can we see sub 2.20 in Berlin Marathon? Need turn up now 💪👍🏻
Lid is looking 🤌🏼🤌🏼
Reference to Jakob. Lets GOOOOOOOO.
Shout out The Streets snip it. A grand don’t come for free is a top 5 album for me.
Good luck in your new gaffe
@@kerrysupporter thanks Kerry
Did I heard The Streets there in your car? 😂
how do you draw blood for the lactate test? do you have those lancet things? does the lactate strip touch your skin at all? if yes then you'll get mixed results
Yes it pin pricks your finger and no touching ideally. You also have to make sure your fingers dry so that wasn’t easy in the pouring rain 😂
Oh! Im running Berlin too 🔥🔥🔥
@@Szynkaszynszylka 🫡🇩🇪🫡
Did you say warm down? You doing a cool up next time too?
@@Thomas-dp8eb good one. Bet your against kms too ;)
Unrelated but are you buying or renting?
What do you use to Stick the Race bibs onto the Wall? 😅
Hi Ben, how do I send you a DM, am looking for guest speakers from the running community.
BOSH!
Bro what's your haircut name looks cool😍
I was waiting for some BBQ footage tbh
@@BadDubII I was a little late to the party. Was rained off and they had pizza instead 😂
You're easily capable of a 3.55 I would think
🍿
As a freshman in HS (14 years old) who has typically been running 25 mpw should I try and build up to 30-35?
Try to really enjoy your time and communicate your goals with your coach, they will keep you on track 😊
Going for max points??? Why didn’t we see Ben is long jumping lol
That was a one time only thing. Maybe the steeple is next 😂
Let's get Ben to 100k! Subscribe all you silent watchers!!
Love it thanks Debra 😂
Lemme remind y’all that Ben is ONLY 200 PEOPLE from 100K subs. Tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW to subscribe, NOW.
She was way too close with the old housemate 😉

Goals.

The steam coming off from the track looks soo cinematic never seen that before
Yeah was very odd! Pretty cool aesthetic
I will happily accept that you obliterate every one of my PBs, except for my 3:59 1500m 🫡
