You've inspired me to take up running again. I've dropped 40 pounds and 8 minutes off my 10km time since March. All the best from Canada!

Awesome job Adam!! You're flying. All the best to you from London!

Underrated comment 😂👏🏻

[@brynoffa2270]

Had to re-watch out of curiosity... 😂😂 top comment!

[@TheFODRunner]

Woah!! SMASHED IT!! what an amazing 8 months since your surgery.... bloody hell that’s amazing 👏

[@dmliddle]

Great effort. Love watching your vlogs Ben. Coming from an entirely cycling background, I started running in early lockdown as my wife had a nasty accident on the bike and I needed to be home more to help her out more. (4hr bike rides just werent going to work) and its been a revelation. She's recovered now but I have just kept running. I first discovered running youtubes when doing research into NY marathon and happened across Seth Demoors channel, both his and your channels have kept me keen. So thanks for your great work

[@feli2388]

Ben, I just wanted to say thank you for putting out such motivating and inspiring videos! Your videos are always cheering me up even through all the struggles I had, especially this year. I found your channel when I was in rehab from my ankle surgery at the end of 2019. I had a complete tear of 2 of my ankle ligaments after twisting my ankle hiking up in Scotland. It went unnoticed for a month until I finally got an MRI after rolling my ankle basically with every step I took, which is why I had surgery to sticht them back up. That meant no running until April. I had many days where I thought I'd never be able to get back on the road. However, seeing you make your fantastic recovery after your surgery gave me the push I needed sometimes to work on getting back to running. I don't think without finding someone as inspiring as you I would have found the passion for running again. Thanks to you, I was able to run a half marathon in August which is something I'd been dreaming off for quite a while. Sadly I had to stop running again in October after developing synovitis in my ankle and tearing the scars from surgery in the fascia. Nobody really knows why that happened and it dragged me down for a while, but again, watching your videos always seems to bring a smile on my face :). I have another MRI due in February after which my doc will hopefully give me the go ahead to start building up to running again, which I can't await... Sorry for the long comment. I've been wanting to share that for some time now... Keep up the good work and all the best from Germany Feli :)

[@mikuslembergs]

Congrats on the MONSTER PB!! Waiting to see your upcoming video about all the progression!

Thanks for all the videos, advice and inspiration throughout this year!

Have a great end of the year and I hope to see you at a starting line at some point!

I’ve been subscribed to your channel for over a year now (I think) and you have some great videos, but that was my absolute favourite. Thank you so much for inspiring so many to change their lives for the better. You (and Sarah) are the best! And thanks for the tour of London! Been watching the Crown so it’s a great time to see everything close up! 😁🙏 Oh, and Happy New Year! Here’s to an incredible 2021! 🙏🥂🎉🕺🏽

[@alfiecurnow7429]

This year I have also been subject to an injury and your videos are one of the reasons I pushed through with physio and I am now running again. Hoping to get back to where I was in 2021. Thanks for all your help and motivation. Good luck next year !

I loved the commentary during the race!

So happy for you Ben, you are a big inspiration😊👌

[@killermachinemaggot]

Congratulations Ben on the new PB, discovered your and Sarah's Channel recently and I must say seeing you 2 pushing yourself to those remarkable finishes with every race you do motivates me to push myself further! I have been out for 3 weeks due to Peroneal Tendonitis but had my first run yesterday and regardless of my time which was 3.5 k in 18.15 it felt great to run once again. Luckely I was able to do my first half marathon on my own ,which was 2:12:01, before the injury! Keep up the good work and looking forward to the upcoming new videos!

[@lukeanthony1466]

Legend, hope you had a great christmas mate. Ran my first marathon on the 6th of december in 2:51 :), but couldn't leave it there, so i'm using your advanced plan to run 2:40 in april!! Love the plan so far, and thank you for your channel and videos. Take care!!

Thanks James.. originally we put a camera on Sarah's helmet as a back up.. but the footage was pretty good so will do it again for sure. Glad you liked it!

Nice run. You are always so happy. Happy end of the year and succesful new year 🙂 Enjoying this channel from the May and love it. 55K of running per week for me last 4 weeks in offseason and try to do SUB 4 hours marathon in 2021. 2019 my first marathon was 4:00:12 sadly.

Awesome, congrats, the hard work paid off! Final three weeks recovering from my injury and this content has got me chomping at the bit. I know the comeback wont be easy (easier than yours though) but the hard IS worth it and I will be better for the injury. Will be using the next three weeks to up my core (thanks to Sarah's video), yoga and elastic band exercises. 2021 is ours for the taking.

All the best for the next three weeks and beyond Harry! You'll be back stronger before you know it :-) Happy new year!

Congratulations Ben on a very well earned 10K PB coming back from your injury and all that we have dealt with as a planet with Covid, well done! We do recognize Boxing Day here in Canada, when I was younger all the stores were closed on Boxing Day, not as many closed anymore, but it is still a federal holiday. It starts off "Boxing Week" in the last several years where you can get some great deals on things, especially Christmas decorations, etc to stockpile for the next year! Wishing you, Sarah and Kiki all the very best for the New Year! Cheers from Canada, Scott
