Can I RUN A Parkrun Course Record On HOLIDAY? | Project

[@TheFODRunner]

Great to see you both, glad you enjoyed the area, hope to see you back around here soon to steal more segments 😉 and we can take you on a good hard long run on the undulating trails 👌 hope to catch up with you and Meg again soon 🎉

[@BenIsRunning]

Great to see you too! Hopefully be back before too long. Lovely part of the uk

[@AnthonyZafiris]

Long run with the three amigos would break the running community internet

[@TheFODRunner]

@@AnthonyZafiris we would need to get a cyclist to film… but we should make it happen 👍

[@teetertotter5787]

That dog wanted to fight Ben for the Parkrun win! Happy 2nd Birthday! You have such lovely people around you. So much love. Good job Meg on the Parkrun!

[@BenIsRunning]

Left it in my dust! Someone’s ran that very same parkrun in 12minutes with a dog mind so maybe his owner was the one slowing it down 😂

[@ColeRunning]

Great video mate, loving this series. Top top content. See you at the weekend bro!

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks mate, Can't wait!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Your Vlogs get better and better, starting from an already high standard. Packed in a speed session, family and friends stuff and a parkrun record. Brilliant. We've done that parktun and it's a superb route and location.

[@theafter8bricky]

Love the vids mate, but that soar kit is well overpriced 🤣

[@thewaan]

expensive isn’t the same as overpriced

[@-esox-3714]

soaring price

[@toasterboy708]

Stops peasants like you from soaring.

[@lukeswindale5471]

The price is a reflection of the amazing quality of the soar apparel. You pay for what you get. Awesome stuff

[@bh4560]

15.30 with 2.5 km uphill 😂 mental!

[@eddiegaul1903]

What a great video Ben, and Happy Birthday Ben. Looks like a fun weekend and thanks for taking us along.

[@BenIsRunning]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the support as always

[@nikoloff]

I was wondering if you could make a video regarding season planning as preparation for 2024 should technically start pretty soon. Love the way you do your videos mate!

[@mikestevenson1334]

Came for the awesome training, stayed for the wholesome birthday vlog! Happy belated birthday, Ben!

[@BenIsRunning]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it 🎉

[@cartwrpf01]

loving this series! really enjoy the vlog style with the training added in

[@BenIsRunning]

Glad to hear it! Will certainly do this more often :)

[@simonflisberg]

Just in time for dinner here in Sweden. You've inspired me to go for a PB in the 10K as well, keep up the quality content👍

[@alexhamblin6465]

All the best of luck for the Vitality 10k on Sunday Ben. I'm sure you'll ace it. I follow your KZbin and listen to Run it three ways and I think it's great! I always tune in. I'll be running the Vitality 10k to aiming for sub 34 minutes. I may see you there. 👍

[@StuartBennettUK]

I had my spot in the Vitality 10km today plus had the rare hope of saying hello as you were going to be there (along with thousands of others I know !) .. Sadly am heavy with Covid at the moment so couldn't go but hope to one day say thanks for being such an inspiration and publishing such engaging content..

[@derekrunsagain]

A great time on that all up then all down course! Did some parkrun tourism recently at Conkers. Always interesting to see new venues. Running Southampton (and filming) for the first time this coming Saturday and hoping to break 21 minutes. Good luck with your 10k. You've got a sub 30 in you, just need to let it out!

[@tomaindow]

God what a lovely video, really enjoy the training/vlog mix.

[@timverkoyen8742]

Lovely to see the personal vlog as well. Awesome content 👏

[@paultaylor6850]

Can't get over that, I was doing my intervals outside your holiday last week when you were there, then saw you running the other way coming out of Fownhope. I thought you had a doppelganger in Herefordshire.

[@BenIsRunning]

No way! Sorry I didn’t stop to chat. Wasn’t expecting to see anyone let alone someone who subs to the channel. Hope you had a good run 😂

[@shelly478]

Happy birthday!! Looks like a great holiday!

[@BenIsRunning]

Thank you. I was a lovely get away in the hills

[@Ultrarunnerdad]

"It's my patch now" love it 🤣Great video, inspiring as always. I'm recovering from a 64 mile race on Sat. so catching up on your videos for inspiration to train when my legs will let me run again!

[@kushtrimtorozi]

Amazing video mate, love the content and see that genuine smile..❤️

[@BenIsRunning]

Thanks bro! Not long now 🙌🏻

[@pappamea4750]

Super well done! Greetings from Sweden 🙂

[@19Ricky9]

14:05 mate you are gliding! running a 5k at this speed i could only dream of!

[@Specsrcool]

You need to head to Great Yarmouth North Beach parkrun- UK’s toughest and current course record is just over 20mins….. tempted 😉?

[@ultrarunningdads1045]

Think you should do more content like this and with your other half it’s nice to see more insight into you and real life! Fab video and ya killed the 4x1ks especially after that elevation Tempo ! Good luck for the 10k I’m sure you’ll smash it 👍👍

[@amandawalker4510]

Love it, great video again. Fabulous PR too :)

[@Caleb_the_Runner]

Happy Birthday Ben 🎉

[@tomL0321]

Been waiting for a new parkour video for a while! Keep up the good work Ben 💪 🏃

[@virus3run20]

Parkour

[@johnfelton6662]

Some great photos of you on the parkrun Facebook page 💪👌

[@marathonranati]

Congrats mate! well done! breaking a course record was a great way to celebrate you birthday! I hope you run 29 min at vitality! ❤

[@Ammerstol]

Great video this one (just like all the others)! And congrats on your birthday and ParkRun Record :)

[@midlandmatt]

If you didn't already do it you should run the malvern hills ridge trail line.

[@BenIsRunning]

Will have to go back!

[@GeorgiosA]

That was a cool video, but of a change from the strictly training content in the SJD style that I enjoyed. If you like Greek gyros there's several good places I'd recommend in Britain but the real deal in Greece is better, perhaps you should consider running the Athens marathon, the place where it all started! Has not been done by content creators as much as perhaps it should, and am sure plenty of people would be interested!

[@BenIsRunning]

I'll check it out! I do love a good gyros!

[@James-ov5xr]

Hope you had a good birthday , amazing video as usual 😃

[@BenIsRunning]

I did! Thank you :)

[@adamwhite7222]

Sure I recently saw a video of the property owners doing up the kitchen to make that well a focal point!

[@308bar]

Hey Ben totally enjoy your vids. On your Coros app do you set your own HR zones and pace zones, or are the zones numbers ranging from the EvoLab recommend zones?

[@MONROE711]

Love all your videos, especially the park runs. The Kenya log was amazing too. In August, after 8 months of consistent running I got below 20 for the 5k (19:02)! Great podcast too btw!

[@virus3run20]

I would like you to do a park run record when you go to Kenya :)

[@BenIsRunning]

I don’t think they have parkruns but maybe I can find a local event

[@philipbokeloh4891]

Hi ben, 100k still sounds a lot for next week, also when comparing to 180 peak. Have you tried a really low/easy taper?

[@BenIsRunning]

I have a general rule of 50% of peak week for race week. Any more then I still carry fatigue and any less and I feel sluggish. All about finding out what works best for you.

[@diamondexteriorcleaning]

2nd upload is the charm mate, hope to see you at the Vitality 10K

[@tsblake]

Love the content Ben! What’s the song featured?

[@OoGaBoOgA526]

Not even joking, did the exact same session as you did the day after you did it 😲🤯

[@BenIsRunning]

We must have stolen it from the same source. Think I saw it on run_ix a few months back

[@willsablerolle-stone9436]

I ran 20km with 1100m of elevation gain and that was really tough 😂 Great video👏

[@fabsterun]

Wholesome vid ❤

[@stevehogg2103]

“My patch now” hahaha 😂😂😂

[@BenIsRunning]

😂😂😂

[@JamesGuitarApprentice]

Hey Ben - great video! What trainers are you wearing for this workout? Thanks 👍

[@sschwen8050]

Love how you Brits are always “chuffed” about everything 😂

[@paulk7663]

What a great video - all the most important things - family, great scenery, simple pleasures & a Parkrun.

[@elliottchard]

Parkrun website says the Course Record is 12:34?!! Surely that must be with a dog and thus doesn't count😜

[@Running4life.]

Ben can you help me ? I'm look for a shoe that I can do my speed sessions in and race in. Can you help because I don't have the budget for lots of shoes for a rotation? BTW love the vids

[@grgr6720]

Should I run a 5K race 2 weeks before my marathon? I see it like an interval session before taper. Any thoughts?

[@BenIsRunning]

Yes, as long as you treat it like a training session. Ie run as hard as you can without tapering your training and not killing yourself so your a goal race is hampered I think it’s a great idea :)

[@grgr6720]

@@BenIsRunning Great thanks for the advice! Btw as a Greek I approve the choice of gyros for your birthday party. I even noticed some tzatziki on the table !?. This alone means minus 15 secs for your upcoming 10K :)

[@andrewdavid9649]

I have always noticed the difference between the British sun and the Australian sun: in Australia not matter how cool it is you still need a hat :)

[@ChrisHarper-d7o]

How do they track your time on the park run?

[@jackjack8205]

Ben is selling soar merch

[@BenIsRunning]

Come and get ya soarrrrr

[@markbateman9222]

Ben, I can't see how you can fail to hit 30:30. You really ought to be giving 30 minutes a good go - or has this this really the aim all along?-

[@ifonly4486]

a hot tub in summertime ???? Strange....

[@ShaneClarke95]

You should give fell running a crack Ben, good fun and a change from road and track running.

[@gokdenizstudy1684]

Hello ben

[@BenIsRunning]

👋🏻

[@Unconventional239]

So 8km of work at a massive physiological anaerobic cost, this is counterproductive to improving 10km race time. Threshold session would be more helpful

[@sheldonjanuary4058]

That well in the house is unsettling 🫣 don't jump on the glass mate

[@BenIsRunning]

Can’t lie, I did it multiple times a day. Thrilling ;)
