Running A SHOCK 5K PB In Marathon Training... (BEST Race Of My LIFE?!)

[@GillibrandPeter]

Looool I was the guy who said “it’s not slow is it” 😂😂😂 cracking event

[@andriboh]

You're getting faster and faster! You will do great in Boston!

[@BenIsRunning]

I hope so! Thanks Andre

[@hennnnerz]

Would be good to hear you talk more about your diet. Nice one Ben

[@TheFODRunner]

Fantastic race! You did so well, was great to watch 💪 and even better to catch up! Onto Boston 🏃‍♂️ 💨

[@stuartwalker6786]

SMASHED IT!! 🦾🏃❤ ..................Don't go out too hot, watch that 25-30km split and you'll smash Boston too!

[@nikolaykumchev9530]

Huge congratulations on a great marathon PB in Boston, 2:24:46, great run, very well done!

[@jennysmith8835]

just looked it up too, brilliant isnt it, although Boston has overall downhill the course isnt easy and the elites are not on the times of say Berlin, so Bens massive pb is even more remarkable, cant wait for his video

[@mchaydel]

Congratulations! The Kenya trip paid off!

[@SamWhite-q9o]

and I'm sat here looking at my 9k tempo run this morning, worrying about a 1km at 4'20 Well done Ben! Solid effort! edit: Ran my fastest 5k during the tempo and my fastest ever 1km split :)

[@teetertotter5787]

I love a race travel with Megs vlog. Love the supportive community vibes with the Squad - Phily, FOD Runner, Matt. Congrats on the PB! I legit need some of that Soar kit.

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks Arlo! Always a great race vlog with Megs behind the lens

[@RDJ2]

If only it weren't completely unaffordable.

[@FilmMyRun]

Yea well done Ben, that really is a scorcher of a time. Looking good for Boston.

[@garymanders1273]

All my favourite running youtubers in one place...runners really do make the best people...congrats on your time🙂

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks Gary!!

[@uMsubathi]

Congratulations 👏🏼 14:42 for 5k ...sub 2:20 marathon should be on the cards

[@kelvinmoncrieff2332]

Nice work good luck and enjoy Boston 🏃‍♂️

[@kglockified]

Kept waiting for Ben to say "chuffed".... Looks like I'll need to wait for the Boston vlog! Grats, ben!

[@peterkisidaj9329]

Hey Ben, this is fantastic! I cannot even imagine to hold such incredible pace for 5K, maybe maximum 1K, and it would still be extremely hard for me. So you're BIG INSPIRATION!!! Thanks a lot for sharing all this with us.

[@jjchang9874]

Set aside all that gear but man those white socks you wear in the start of the video with the yin yang logo is 🔥. Congrats for the PB

[@garymacalister]

Well done on the PB - it was perfect conditions wasn't it. Such a fab event. I ran my fastest 5k since 2019 so over the moon.

[@BenIsRunning]

It certainly was! Great job 👏🏻

[@ronrunsworld]

Another great vlog with an amzing results over the 5km course only 10 days from the Boston marathon! See you there!

[@jensen11103]

Incredible race, congrats! Lookin to reach sub 20 this summer. Cant imagine doing any sub 15, thats insane

[@BenIsRunning]

Sub 20 was my goal this time 4 years ago 👀

[@zakkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

​@@BenIsRunning that makes me happy and humanises you, I winder what my time will be in 4 years.

[@kathrynflannery2889]

Great video Ben! Definitely inspired. 👍

[@Mikey0HeLikesIt]

Congrats, what an inspiration! You're a monster.

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks mate 😂

[@chrisgardiner4998]

Nice one Ben. The thing is most of us can’t imagine running at this pace, but we can relate to that feeling when you absolutely nail a race. Great job! Captured that feeling on your face perfectly of the moment you it sinks in you’ve just had a run where everything has just come together as well as you could have hoped for it to have done. Chuffed to bits for you.

[@annestrock4917]

Congratulations on the p.b. ! I really enjoy your coverage of the races . Cheers to Meg for all her support! Good luck in Boston .

[@brianpaxton1785]

Great seeing all you running KZbinrs together . Good luck for Boston Ben it's a race I would like to do soon . Well done on the PB 👍

[@omargarcia6995]

Congratulations, Im from Mexico 🎉

[@johnhiggins674]

Well done Ben, great running. 😀 I managed a parkrun PB on Saturday, only my third ever sub twenty and exact match of my overall 5k PB from last year. Marathon training seems to benefit shorter runs, my last two marathons have both been preceded by a 10k PB the week before. Hopefully a good omen for Manchester. 🤞 Good luck in Boston. 😀

[@Therunningbrutha]

Such a dramatic finish and smiles all round. I love it. Good job Ben!!🎉

[@Cuca138]

Everyday it seems you are getting better and better. Beautiful effort Ben!

[@paulouellet4926]

Really impressive Ben!!! Huge congrats! You do realise that you ran a 5KM at almost the same pace as Eliud Kipchogue ran the Berlin Marathon (14 min 21.4 per 5KM)!

[@amboshable]

I really enjoyed this video. Love how happy you were when you nabbed the PB. Congrats Ben. I’m in mara training so also hoping to see some benefits for the 5 and 10ks too over the next 3 mths leading in to Gold Coast marathon

[@ryanmickus]

Congrats! Would love to see a video about your “cleaned up diet”

[@rjargall]

Great racing Ben, loved the video. Would be interested in the changes you've made to your diet (you mentioned at the end of the video)!

[@Alecmcq]

14.42…. Wow, Ben, your talent and hard work is shining through… more to come. Fantastic vlog… well done on both the race and the vid!

Great running Ben, very inspiring, great to see the endurance also helping with speed!

Do you prefer the Coros over the Garmin brand?

[@kevinclark5086]

Unreal time Ben well done. It's mind boggling to me how someone could run that pace.

[@YunaxEU]

What’s that bag you had on Ben? Looks awesome!

[@StuartBennettUK]

I really enjoy your videos.. Thank you and you do inspire.. I recently did my 1st 5km in under 30 minutes so little steps.. London Marathon in 2 weeks..

[@DKNY159]

Thats a big leap my dude, i think you'll be walking over half the time to the finish line. Would be better if you trained a bit longer for the long distance

[@ChrisDrysdale16]

Great racing & good luck in Boston!!!!!

[@tnan123]

You were flying. That's really impressive improvement on your PB. Incredible race.

[@camhurst5565]

Hey Ben that is astonishing. My best is 26.20 lol. My goal is to get to 25 and then the ultimate would be a sub 20. I'm 38 yrs old. You reckon I can do it?

By the way, how much did the vaporflys help and how much of it was the altitude training?
