This pain of the Handshake 😂 12:17

[@killeremma]

OMG

[@DC-nt5lh]

Jakob left him hanging...🤣

[@leslie7922]

Felt it in my bones haha

[@stewieswontheroundweregoin4653]

💀💀💀

[@ThomasRedmond-q8q]

Yikes, who knew ghoasting was a part of his training routine!

[@rodrigosanroman5858]

I think its nuts his comfortable/ talking pace is a 35 minute 10k.... Amazing.

[@johnking7649]

Same here, but with 5K! 😅 Sometimes…

[@roydos949]

Fantastic event, came in 20 min behind you and my effort was max!! I am bit older though at 65.

[@lnbabz]

Good running!

[@BenjiShepard-tb4eq]

1:27 at 65 years old is ridiculous mate!

[@mounirjamaaoui9780]

Well-done

[@johnking7649]

Respect!

[@mattej96]

we came to the finish at the same time!

[@sifi7950]

Good to see the Feltons out in force. Big shout out to the QOZ! Great blog as ever Ben; 108k subs is such an achievement!

[@BenIsRunning]

The Queen of Jazzercise indeed, next year i heard she's doing it :) Thank you SIFI!

[@Landixy]

Great run Ben I just started running a few months ago and recently destroyed my 5k Pb by 4:30 I love your videos they inspire me to do better!!

[@Ray.J]

I echo the congratulations to both Ben and Ellie! Ellie for finishing with a PB, Ben for staying healthy and positioning himself for a great result in the upcoming marathon. Videos like this inspire!

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks Ray, lovely comment that- thanks for following along :)

[@Jenskov]

When I saw it on Strava, I was waiting and excited for the video. Well done 👏

[@kathrynflannery2889]

Well done to both you and Ellie!! Awesome job Ellie! You guys are inspiring for sure! I'm buzzing on a PB Parkrun this morning of 39.18. 50-54 age group. 10th parkrun today. A very colourful and enjoyable video today Ben.

[@BenIsRunning]

Congratulations Kat! Glad you enjoyed the vlog :)

[@ThomasRedmond-q8q]

Agreed what a run by ellie espescially for a pb!

[@killeremma]

The energy in this video makes me want to go out for a run, but it's dark and 8pm. haaaa. Can't wait to see the Berlin result you are on fab form!

[@BenIsRunning]

Thats exactly why I enjoy putting them together so thanks for that! Hope the inspiration rubbed off on the next run aha :)

[@plippero7870]

I saw some coverage on it the last days and have been waiting for your vid since. What a banger!

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it

[@michaelhatch1994]

Anyone (Ingebrigtsen) who can do a fun run at 1:03 and set a national record while he does it is pretty special.

[@alexanderl9985]

Crazy!

[@Nyelands]

I don't think he had much fun.

[@jasper1376]

Dunno about fun run, he exhausted himself to the point he thought he was "going to die" twice, and had to stop! Running a 1:03 with two stops is pretty insane though, no less for his first half, right after another race

[@michaelhatch1994]

@@jasper1376 While my remark was somewhat tongue in cheek, think about it for a moment. This guy ran a Diamond League (world class) 1500 then his agent calls the race director and says "got room for Jacob tomorrow?". Sets a 10k road record on his first go at it, has a little walk and runs a 33 min 11k final bit, and says I thought "I was gonna die". Which is how i feel every time I do a fun run for 21k, in twice the time. I'm surprised he didn't drink a beer while he was doing it. He's probably still laughing.

[@Nyelands]

@@michaelhatch1994 You are comparing yourself to an elite runner and calling it crazy. He didn't even finish in the top 30. Beating the Norwegian record in the 10K doesn't mean much. 5 runners beat that record that day. 4 of them continued an ran a 58 minute half marathon.

[@TheFactaa]

Great energy Ben, thanks for the efforts to bring this to everyone 👍👍

[@BenIsRunning]

Thank you! Really appreciate that :)

[@thesouthendrunner]

Great vibes from that weekend! What a fantastic swag bag from the organisers. Such a nice touch!

[@Nyelands]

Yes, nice of them to give special treatment to youtubers.

[@BenIsRunning]

Indeed! Always very well looked after :)

[@ThomasRedmond-q8q]

Yeah how nice of them. I would love a goodie bag that cool 🤩🤩

[@tommylawlor2857]

Congratulations Ben and Ellie on your run,well done Ellie getting a PB.that was a great video Ben.🏃🏃

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks Tommy, appreciated as always

[@nicnak4475]

Well done Ben and the PB Queen, Ellie, really enjoyed that, thanks, Copenhagen looks a great place, will have to put it on my bucket list 👍

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks mate, she smashed it!

[@gabornyers7091]

Be patient with your Mom! Do not rush Her! She is Natural☺ Great effort from the whole family!!! Keep up the good work!

[@BenIsRunning]

Indeed, she needs a lesson in audience retention though ahah :)

[@sakarias8349]

Great run mate, i was participating and saw you at the start line

[@BenIsRunning]

Hope you had a good one. Same time next year :)

[@mjsue9595]

Man, you and Ellie really did well. I'm jealous. I just started running so this is super inspiring. Congrats.

[@BenIsRunning]

Love to hear it! Enjoy the beginners gains :)

[@MrSmokedTurkey]

[@IamArloFischer]

Your family is lovely. Lucky man. Nice job on the PB, Ellie!

Yacob Kiplimo (2:42) had me cracking up for some reason - when in Scandinavia I guess

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

Mate I really cringed when he said that 😩😂😂😂

​@@ThatRunnerAaronat least his name is jacob and not something completely different 😂

[@djtk808]

Ben is starstruck

[@paulfelton8955]

Fantastic edit this Ben, must have taken many cups of coffee this one😅 proud to be there supporting Ellie and you, now we understand the magic of Copenhagen, such a beautiful city to explore.. and what an event to spectate, especially on the bridge at 18k point, absolutely mad atmosphere.. love it

[@BenIsRunning]

The local coffee shop saw plenty of me across the 3 days it took to put together put it that way :) I was looking forward to the 18k point from the very start having raced it a few years back. Incredible atmosphere

[@rof8200]

Great to see you inspired your sis and many others to run

[@BenIsRunning]

And now she inspires me! So proud of what shes achieved so far :)

Its honestly one of my favourites to visit. Helps that the coffee scene is also as good as the running :)
