1 hour treadmill run the day before and still had that kick in your legs 🔥🔥

[@laurencharltonn]

It was more the fact it was 14.5kph (6.40/mi pace) that impressed me!!!

[@benjtv7897]

fitness level is absurd

[@woodpeckerer]

We need another collab... I always forget that you live in the same region, I was like "oh my gosh it's Trackstaa!"

[@adammadill9379]

​@@laurencharltonn a lot faster than that lol

[@ColeRunning]

Inspirational mate, from marathon down to 3k that’s incredible range 👏🏻

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks bro🎉

[@laurainthehaute918]

Never cringey to “Run to inspire” when it’s coming from an authentic place, Ben. Inspired as usual. Great PB🎉

[@sagsdothedu]

Quality Ben. I ran 8:51 for 3000m in 1982! Love that distance. Still running 41 years later🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

You must be as old as me. 51 years in spikes over here 😊

[@sagsdothedu]

@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 cough. . 60 next year. Product of the 80s running boom. Survived by diversifying into triathlon but have a soft spot for running.

[@BenIsRunning]

Love to hear that!

[@TheFODRunner]

Absolutely amazing Ben, what a run, what a breakthrough in that distance!

[@BenIsRunning]

Yeah it certainly felt like that! 68 seconds a lap was going to be tough but knew I had it in me based of my training! Thanks Andy 🎉

[@19Ricky9]

The younger lad from Chelmsford also got on quite well!

[@BenIsRunning]

He certainly did! Big pb for the 16yo

[@pelmeniz]

Brilliant running Ben, congrats on the PB. I actually did my first ever 3000m race last weekend and came in with a much slower time of 11:13.

[@BenIsRunning]

Great start! Hope you enjoyed it🎉

[@ThisMessyHappy]

Well done, Benny Boy! Great running 💪🏼

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks B and M x

[@tworunningbrooms]

That's the best Vlog you've made for our money. The passion for the club colours. The commitment to grass roots athletics. Playing for the team. The preparation for the race. The brave and successful race execution. Bravo.

[@Alecmcq]

Outstanding running Ben. 13s PB is some improvement. You should feel really proud. 👏👏👏

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks Alec, certainly was

[@Kingfrog7]

What was going on with the truffle shuffle at 7:34 😂😂

[@BenIsRunning]

😂 must be a specific warm up I reckon 😂

[@MattRuns]

Well done Ben, big inspiration as always 👏🏻

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks mate 😊

[@gary7542]

Damn I was at Victoria patkrun just down the road. I've took u for coffee 😂

[@jamesbarker5650]

Love it Ben!!! I’ve been out of the loop running myself because of cancer treatment, but am getting back into with help from your videos keeping me into running!!! You ARE running to inspire 🫡

[@BenIsRunning]

Love to hear that! Hope recovery continues to go well ❤

[@amandawalker4510]

Am buzzing for you Ben.. what a race , you train so well , a Pb was just waiting for you 🎉🎉🎉

[@BenIsRunning]

Thank you Amanda, much appreciate 😊

I live a few minutes away from Hinba! Great choice, by far my favourite choice of coffee shop in the west of Glasgow.

[@adriangood5404]

Great video Ben really enjoy watching I'm a long way off your pace but it still inspires me to go out and do my best 😂👍

[@BenIsRunning]

You can do it! Thanks for the support 🎉

[@DavidBhoy1967]

Glad you enjoyed Glasgow Ben 😊 Next time have a wee visit to Celtic Park and The Chris Hoy cycling arena across the way. There’s a lot of great parkruns in the city as well. Pollok park is probably the best one.

[@BenIsRunning]

Next time for sure! Thanks David 🎉

[@TimGrose]

Well done. Very well raced.

Good job Ben. Hope you enjoyed Scotland. Was that the Garage night club in Kilmarnock? Many a night in there 😃

[@BenIsRunning]

It was indeed! Great place for bowling too by the looks of it 🎳

[@Cuca138]

Yeah!!! Congrats mate! Managed to see anything from the cycling world championships?

[@kjpr5641]

Congratulations on your PB Ben and well raced. It was a brave run to kick from so far out.

[@BenIsRunning]

Thank you! Run to my strengths was my thinking 😊

[@lionheart4552]

Well done Ben great running. Kinda wondering though how Chelmsford AC are the " best club In Essex ". By what metrics or are you kidding ?

[@Team.L]

Nice PB👍🏻 well done! More those harder shorter race ,, sub 14, 5000m soon

[@Person64479]

Hey! Love your content! Quick question, what does your diet look like? Around about how much protein do you get and do you supplement protein?

[@RalphisRunning]

Guys quick question about shoe rotation. I have a daily trainer and a racing shoe. What should i buy next. Tempo shoe for speed workouts or a max cushion for recovery runs?

[@Chad-xd3vr]

wow less than 8 seconds slower than Paula Radcliffe ps.what is your weight now compared to 3 years ago, you look shredded (good for a runner)

[@biancasaldana8460]

How much time took to do this -13s PB? So amazing 👏

[@BenIsRunning]

A year since I ran 8:42 and ran a 8:50 as a season opener about 3 months back

[@geert574]

must be annoying to have one prick hanging on your heels I wouldve stopped just to make him trip 😆

[@terrycarrington9296]

Congratulations Ben.

[@markhill8590]

Hi Ben I've been watching a few off your videos and just wanted to know what watch you wear? Thanks

[@MrMurphyz102]

Very random question but what height are you and what do you weigh??

[@martinkelsen6049]

Awesome. 13 seconds on a 3k is a huge chunk off.

[@BenIsRunning]

Was certainly very happy! Thanks Martin 🎉
