Berlin Marathon 2022 with a GoPro - going sub 3 - on Kipchoge’s WORLD RECORD course!

[@BenParkes]

Do you think Kipchoge is the greatest of all time???

[@danielconde13]

Sure, the man is a beast. There are of course a lot of runners close to his performance, but at his age keeping up with records like this is something else.

[@nikolaykumchev9530]

Greatest runner. No. Greatest marathoner? He’s taken part in 18 and won 16 of them so definitely yes!!

[@nardedcruz8668]

Definitely yes!!

[@waynestevens5]

Yes!! Such an inspiration!

[@jimjamthebananaman1]

Bekele or Gebrselassie are the best of all time. They both focused more on track before entering the marathon world and dominated at everything. They were the best all rounders

[@gerrybesworth7762]

Eliud is unquestionably one of the greatest marathoners, but I did not see him carrying a GoPro and providing commentary while running! Bravo Ben!

[@nhrrsn]

The real achievement here was holding the camera so steady while running 4:04/km pace! Good work Ben.

[@bikingchupei2447]

no need to hold it steady, gopro is doing all the work.

[@indorock]

GoPro 11 Black does the stabilisation so you don't have to.

[@patricklembo9962]

And talking throughout… I’m dying at that pace

[@MsCMR80]

I was actually wondering 💭 How much faster can Ben go without the camera and taking to us? Thank you for sacrificing an even faster time in order to share this wonderful experience with us, Ben!🤙🏽

[@GeeberK1]

Yes, that was QUITE impressive!

[@abiejepson838]

Don’t know how many people could run a marathon and throw a kit review in half way through 😂 💪🏻

[@Penfold101]

1:50 "The GOAT, the Best of All Time..." Ahh yes, Eliud Kipchoge - the BOAT.

[@SunMinGroot]

Talking, reviewing, filming while running under 3hrs is beyond amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@richardholmes3633]

Brings back the memories - it seems longer ago than yesterday, though my legs wouldn’t agree! Pleased with my 3:34:36 at age 60, with luck that’s a GFA for London.

[@charlottewestphal914]

I also ran Berlin but it didn’t feel like running but more like surviving 🤣 It was so incredibly tough. It was my first marathon and I got injured half way through training. My longest training run was only 18k. Only made it with immense will power and a lot of walking in the second half. I said I wouldn’t do it again after crossing the finish line. Now, 24 hours later I’m reconsidering that 😅😅!

[@BikeSurgeon]

I will do probably the same in about 12 days. Congrats for finishing

[@dumm005]

Congrats for powering through 💪

[@50Something]

Way to go Charlotte! My first marathon is Sunday and I tweaked an ankle a week ago so I'm going to be in a similar situation. I made it up to 26km in my training. My only goal is to finish!

[@BenParkes]

Well done on getting your first (of many I’m sure!!) marathon medals!! They are very addictive!! Congratulations!

[@laurainthehaute918]

I love the great tradition of registering for the next marathon 24 hours later-irresistible! Congrats on the day!🎉

[@andrewgill25]

Finishing the marathon is always so emotional - setting a pb or running for fun it’s always such a touching moment

[@dlmsantos]

There goes my hero Watch him as he goes

[@pillwolak]

Kipchoge is the GOAT

[@synaone]

It's me 10:13 :) , I am glad I could see you and Sarah in the end. I did my PB of 2:49:37 in this race and I really enjoyed the course and the atmosphere.

[@BenParkes]

Well done!!

[@sigepohio]

We could all use even just a portion of the Joy you showed while running this marathon! And to do it while having less than ideal leadup and at the pace you still managed (carrying your camera while keeping a vlog of the race)! I am in awe and inspired for my marathon coming up in 4 days.

[@BenParkes]

Good luck Nick!!

[@therese.carlsson]

Well Done Ben! what a steady pace! Poor guy at 7:45.

[@BenParkes]

Yes. I can only assume me was sick. I didn’t even notice until I watched the footage back. Hopefully he got to the finish ok and got some medical help.

[@RahulPatel-qw9cc]

Felt bad for the guy falling sick so close to the finish line, somehow I kept on looking from him while Ben had gotten ahead to see if he continued. Hope he finished strong.

[@josephgonzalez_]

Great start to the block for Valencia. Most runners would love to go under 3 hours, and you basically jogged it in 2:53. I also did Berlin, having been injured during the training block. Very pleased with my 2:44:31 and ran a negative split. Sometimes lowering your expectations leads to more enjoyable experiences as you don’t go out too fast - I felt surprisingly strong throughout!

[@waltver]

Ben, you don't know that but you made me go to another level on my running performance. Since I've found your channel and started watching your videos, I've decided to buy your training plans and man, how can you do it? They're just perfect. Today I'm a 2h49m marathon runner thanks to you. Keep pushing and getting it done. Congrats.

[@stevecollier21]

A master class in pacing, not getting carried away, and saving yourself for the A race. Thanks, Ben 👍🏻

[@hennnnerz]

7:44 tactical chunder 300m from the finish! Joys of the marathon

[@speeddeacon9516]

I wondered if anyone else noticed that! True marathon action being filmed by Ben while he describes his feelings as he reaches the finish line!

[@paperjourni8964]

Just fantastic! also running that thing while filming and talking all the way! just amazing! Thank you for covering it! AND WHILE GRABBING WATER AT 4:04 just amazing! and WOW you ranAN HOUR faster than last time? I am mindblown!

[@chrisgardiner4998]

Ben, that emotion when you cross the line, I think everyone who has run a marathon can relate to that. Great to see so many runners showing their love for you, Sarah and the channel too. ❤

[@andrewliao6381]

Thanks for the great Berlin video. Kipchoge is the GOAT marathoner for sure. I was glad to run on the same marathon course as him. I ran a 2:47 and got my Six Star Finisher (all sub-3 marathons) Medal at Berlin so really good memories for me.

[@BenParkes]

That’s a cool club to be in.. 6 stars and all sub 3!! Kudos Andrew 🙌

[@christopher5070]

Following your journey for many years now and knowing the mental battles you have had this past year and seeing you running again with a smile on your face brought tears to my eyes. You are a true inspiration and an absolute legend. Well done Ben!

[@ToKiniAndy]

Nice job!! That was a tight schedule! haha 4 hours to the flight!

[@robh124]

@10:42 Sarah "What Kipchoge?" made me laugh! Great video as usual, congratulations!

[@marcotngsn]

Bro I favorited and tracked your run from the official website all the way. You were so fast but i never knew you were running with a go pro. Thats nuts!!! How are you talking in that speed!! Insane bro.

[@gary_runs]

Great running Ben! Making 4:04km pace look like a stroll! (Whilst talking!) I'm so pleased you're back and enjoying racing after everything that's happened over the last 2 years! 🙌🏼 💪🏼

[@FordyRuns]

Great video Ben love the energy all the way to the end mate super inspiring 👊

[@Jeleivers1]

Congratulations on your run, really enjoyed the video. I was getting a 2:21:59 PB at the Robin Hood Half, whilst you ran. Took 6:01 of my previous time. It was awesome and made me want to achieve a marathon.

[@peterlove1938]

Well done on completing Berlin! I ran Warsaw on the same day however in km 1 I managed to roll my ankle. Hoped to run it off but had to cut out after 16km. Motivation for the next one! Now waiting for my ankle to heal so I can start running again. Kipchoge is amazing. Everyone has a talent / strength. Kipchoge has taken his talent and harnessed it to become an amazing marathon runner whilst remaining humble. Fantastic ambassador for the sport.

[@BenParkes]

All the best for a swift recovery Peter.. you'll get back out soon!

[@MarvinNeumannOfficial]

I anticipation of this years Berlin Marathon I stumbled across your video. And literally you ran the time I am aiming for (

[@jdpjamesp]

You're such an inspiration Ben - your resilience and determination is admirable. Very well done on a fantastic finish in Berlin. Your videos have helped me on my journey as well. I ran my first half in Bristol on Sunday. I set myself the target of breaking 2 hours. Absolutely smashed it, finishing 1:53. I'm supremely proud and couldn't have done it without the motivation of youtubers like yourself. So thank you. Here's to getting it done!!

[@BenParkes]

Well done James! Smashed your goal.. Congratulations! Sub 2!!

[@norman-mascher-aspensjoe]

Ben, thanx buddy for the photo! Nice to see you during the race and sorry that I crashed your finish with my selfie request 😂🤙🧢

[@BenParkes]

Always great to meet everyone out there.. no worries at all! Well done! :-)

[@MrElectricSkittles]

I ran on sunday, my first ever Marathon, 3:40:13.. was going for a sub 3:50, so extremely happy, and even more happy that i was sharing the road with kip, not only that, a new record.. incredible experience, and beautiful track

[@BenParkes]

Well done!!

[@bradleywall2246]

This was perfect timing and very inspiring. I go for my first sub three hour marathon in five days.

[@damianziolkowski158]

Good luck 🤞🙌 . That's also my goal in 2023 🙌 .

[@weekendkicks5964]

Good luck! That’s my ‘23 goal too

[@rgweaver]

Best of luck! I'm training for 3h15m in January, hoping to get sub 3 in a couple of years.

[@goddesskore]

How can you run consistently at that pace holding your GoPro and talking!? Well done, Ben!! Really so happy for you! Sarah was so awesome!🎉

[@erinpropas4771]

Just started watching your videos, really love your content! I love how you said marathons are so tough but also had a big smile on your face! They are tough but the most beautiful examples of what humans can do! Well done! And yes Kipchoge is the GOAT!!!!!!!

[@adrianthompson3692]

I've been watching trainer reviews and trying to decide if I should get a pair of Saucony Endorphin 3's and came across this vid. Now I'm really excited about the Amsterdam Marathon which I'm doing on the 16th Oct. I doubt I will be able to string a sentence together when I'm doing it, let alone do all this multi-tasking and knock out that sort of a time! Brilliant. Well done Ben.

[@rizontherun9684]

Congratulations, that’s amazing. That looks effortless for you.

[@filblasi]

your enthusiasm really helps me stay positive! 😍

[@runningoneddie]

What a video Ben! Congrats on the finish. What is so impressive on your recent videos is how many fans you've made. You've definitely been an inspiration to so many people out there (of all abilities and levels) to pursue their dreams and improve their running. Always love watching your content!

[@TheBenz99]

Finally someone carrying a gro-pro to share the Berlin Marathon 2022! Thanks Ben Parkes! A great run and strong come back after your injury. Great Job and a great achievement!

[@BenParkes]

Thank you Benjamin!

[@richardgraham7133]

Your face and smile at the end says everything, I could feel your emotion!! Well done Ben and keep getting it done, much love from Doncaster.

[@andrewpimentel127]

I was waiting for you to drop your own video of the Berlin Marathon. Super enjoyable to know that are people like you that take the time to film such great moments. Congratulations man !

[@jasondahl3552]

Great video! I had a blast in the race as well. Also thanks for chatting with me at the shakeout run it was really nice to meet you! Met some other really nice people as well. If the dude from holland who ran with my wife and I at the “back of the shakeout pack” is reading this I hope you ran well too!

[@derrunn3r613]

See you smiling throughout most of the race and just enjoying it, put a smile on my face as well through most of the video - thanks for that video, said it again, and will say it again: your and Sarah's race vlogs and your strongest videos, I think 😀👍👍

[@MrDoekdoek]

Well done! Congratulations! You inspired me to keep on training! I did 2:46 yesterday in Berlin and super proud of it!

[@inaciotrinita]

Well done..that's the time I'm trying to achieve in Lisbon on the 9 of October. It's not as flat as Berlin but lets do it, and try to finish with a big smile like Ben 🤩👍👍💪

[@mreuphonium]

Well done , good to see you running again. I ll join you in Valencia! Enjoy the ride

[@teddylim5305]

Thanks

[@BenParkes]

Thank you very much Teddy! So kind :-)

[@Alh359]

It's awesome to see you happy while finishing a marathon especially with the injuries you've had. Your videos have kept my spirits high while I've dealt with injuries and setbacks. I've been following your channel since 2019 before we both ran Frankfurt. I ran a half marathon PB this past Saturday (old PB stood since 2012). This was my first PB since 2017 when I ran my marathon PB. Injuries suck, but coming back and being able to run healthy is amazing. Keep up the beautiful content and spreading positive vibes.

[@Noahlsr]

Hey Ben, i’ve been watching your videos since a long time and i was the one, who screamed your Name through the megaphon at km 37. Ist was great to see you here in Berlin. Have a good recovery!

[@makingmemark]

Sub 3 with filming most of the way and even time for a cheeky kiss - bravo sir

[@TomFroese]

Ben, watching your videos always gets me excited about running again. Thanks for what you’re doing!

[@javierquintero9640]

Congrats to you for finishing and your friend Eliud for his pb

[@patdavey1719]

I have a deferred entry to run Berlin next year, and this has come in very handy for what to expect from the course. Thank you and well done for a brilliant finishing time. More to come I hope.

[@amandaschlief6614]

Congratulations! I'm at awe with people who are capable to run so fast. Berlin yesterday was my first marathon. Great atmosphere!

[@amylowe6790]

Smiled the whole way through this video😊 love how much you and Sarah support each other🥰

[@kuruvillajaison]

Thank you Ben Parkes for sharing your marathon experience with us from arrival to Berlin till the end of it. Really appreciate it.

[@stevencolby6664]

Thank you sharing the race with us. It’s very inspiring.

[@king_has_no_clothskul8635]

The standard is very high. he ran under 3 hours, talking and holding go pro. And coming off injury! And he can easily knock down 15 minutes of that with total focus. And positive attitude was awesome. GREAT!

[@ThatFlowState]

Congratulations, glad you had a good day on Sunday and enjoyed Berlin. I had a fun day as well and got my 7th Berlin finish done. Good luck with your training for Valencia.

[@andys121.]

kipchoge best marathon runner , Bekele the best Runner of all time at various distances and Cross Country as well

[@naima5220]

You sure had fun congratulation you are a GOAT in your own way and all the people that participated

[@emanuelsantos5585]

Hope to see you in Valencia!!!!

[@snajper8078]

Great result! I'm fighting for being sub 3:30 this year. Maybe in 2024 i will achieve what You done here!

[@BenParkes]

Good luck!!

[@atanasatanasov5771]

Well done Ben...making it look almost easy with 2.53 awesome...hope to see you on the course on sunday..J

[@ABucc]

Great job as always in all your runs Ben, you look like you had a lot of fun. Kipchoge is the greatest of all time, but the greatest time in a marathon is always had by the ones who enjoy it.

[@thedolenorway]

Congratulations on crossing that line in total control, slingshotting yourself into a great trajectory for reaching your future running goals!

[@NicoI]

Well done Ben and congratulations on everything. You are a great person.

[@alanshrimpton6787]

[@speeddeacon9516]

Thank you! You make the best videos! I felt your emotion as you ran the course and I was glad to be along for the ride!

[@BenParkes]

Well done with your PB!!

[@nealhove]

Excellent Ben, thanks for sharing. Terrific time

[@SolidSnake009]

Swore never to do another marathon after the first took all the will power i could muster to complete…switched to the 10k onwards. Watching you run (with a camera) such amazing times has inspired me!

[@kennethsolheim8283]

I get such a positive and good vibe from your amazing videos! Thank you Ben! Well done.👏👏👏
