I loved the intro of Sarah 😂 she should do all your intros Ben, so I think Sarah is going to win 🏅

[@jianglonghuang7868]

Hahahaha loved the intro

[@pranayama-running-Jendrik]

Dude this is the exactly same I thought after the first seconds of the video 😃🤩🔥 Go Sarah Go 🔥🔥🔥

[@richardholmes3633]

Loved this - I was Sarah’s stalker in orange! Beth was super-impressive on the day too, filming and encouraging in only her second parkrun.

[@philt6440]

I was as impressed by your finishing time as I was Sarahs given your age bracket 🤯

[@richardholmes3633]

Thank you. I certainly felt my age by the end!

[@BenParkes]

Great run Richard!!

[@richardholmes3633]

Thanks Ben. Hope to see you both again in Barcelona!

[@clairhardywynn5620]

Oh my god that’s so funny Sarah 😂😂 I always smile at the speed Ben introduces the vlogs 😂😂 ……

[@thesecretrunner26]

Absolutely brilliant video, so entertaining, well done both! (And fantastic editing as ever Sarah, so double well done to you 👏👏)

[@searchforwardlimited8657]

Sounds weird but parkrun is one of the highlights of my week. Gets me focused, productive and ready for weekend. So simple yet so impactful. Great video by the way. Great editing

[@LuisBecerra79]

😂🤣😆🤣😂😆🤣😂 what a great intro 👍🏼. Sure miss more content from Sarah’s channel but we know she puts a lot of work into Ben’s channel 🙌🏼🙌🏼. Great video guys 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@nicmarlow6388]

brilliant video and so lovely to see Sarah back infront of the camera again (I followed her on here, I wondered where she'd gone). Both races looked epically hard in their own ways so huge kudos both! :)

[@Tonyr2]

Love this guys. Good to see Sarah back in front of the camera just like the old days, felt quite nostalgic seeing her. Well run to you both really entertaining vlog.

[@jimfrazier1073]

Love this video...Great intro Sarah! Both of you smashed it. More videos with both of you would be great!

[@vickyshaw1709]

Absolutely loved this video !! Love a bit of jeopardy. Well done Sarah (and Ben). I've just got a sub 40 10k PB so I'm well chuffed and would say training has been going well 😁

[@jacintascanlon9529]

Well done! Parkrun is the highlight of my week, love when other people get the same nerves and feel the same sense of community at their Parkruns.

[@fatrunner]

Loved this video, Sarah's intro was hilarious. Currently training for London myself, using your level 2 plan. Aiming for sub 4:30.

[@sigepohio]

This is so much fun! Glad you all found a great way to make training fun while still being challenging! Also, congrats Sarah on the victory!

[@BookemDanole]

That was an awesome video, Ben and Sarah! Great idea and amazing run by both of you. I just love how real you come across in your videos. So down to earth and open. That's what makes you my favorite KZbinr, running or not!

[@BenParkes]

Very kind, thank you Dan!

[@matthewsenior4208]

This is the content we didn’t know we needed, brilliant! Loved the intro by Sarah. 😂

[@mikew6840]

ParkRun is an amazing phenomenon! Great vlogging Sarah 👏🏼 this was a lot of fun.

[@shevaballack12]

0:10 Spat out my coffee!!

[@OhWowAshDoesThings]

Really loved this video, and congrats on smashing your run Sarah! Know you're not huge on filming yourself, but it's really lovely when you pop up

[@bethshaw3101]

Amazing Sarah!! (and ben) absolutely loved this video! more like this would be amazing! well done guys x

[@RhysllThomas]

That was a lot of fun to watch! More content like this in the future!

[@TravelRunner]

Super fun concept for a video, I really enjoyed it. Great job to both of you and excellent job editing. 👍

[@joelandrews8041]

Seeing that Ben watches Geowizard is such a great combo of my 2 favorite KZbinrs! You guys should do a Collab!

[@vonter56777]

it ll be the best video. how not to run a marathon.real life georunner.and many more

[@AliceOnARun]

Amazing video, such a fun idea and great editing (and filming from Beth!) - and amazing job Sarah wooooo women 🎉🎉

[@thedolenorway]

You guys knocked it out of the park(run) with this one! Great idea for a video, pretty amazing how well you guys matched up this way. Sarah may not feel comfortable filming herself in public, but she's great at it and the camera loves her!

[@AndrewMosc]

Haha I’ve just watched Fordy Runs at Yarmouth too! Good to see it get the recognition it deserves 😂

[@BenParkes]

Yes.. had no idea he had been there the week before! Two beach parkrun videos in the same week.. how fun!!

[@AndrewMosc]

@@BenParkes ever thought about doing the Bromley (Norman Park) Park Run? It’s a flat 2 and a half laps of the park in winter and I think it’s a perfect PB course. Doesn’t have those 180 turns like Victoria docks.

[@gerrybesworth7762]

Editing, score and content were perfect. So very enjoyable, great spirit,well done both of you!

[@Lifeof.Jordan]

Well done to both of you. Watching this video made me think, I haven't done a park run in about 6 months. Going to have to go ad do one on Saturday now

[@leonsshare]

Haha this was a brilliant video, that intro 😂😂😄 well done to Sarah! Good going Ben I didn't get to do that parkrun when I was last there but definitely will next time I'm there. Parkrun is responsible for getting me into running, now about to break into the 15's, pb 16.04 so can't leave it at that

[@BenParkes]

Amazing.. come back and let us know when you get into the 15's!!

[@marcusgrainger3329]

That was so close! And you both got PBs on the respective courses. Congratz!

[@dowsey]

Great video Ben! Kudos to Sarah, what a great handicap challenge! Would love to see this again

[@MariaMarsbar]

Absolutely loved this video! What a great way to make a race between you both, it was so close!!

[@choccie_chip685]

Awesome race! The handicap was perfect given the results were so close. Solid effort to you both!

[@danjohnstone7684]

Fantastic Vid. Really enjoyed that. You're both absolute machines and really appreciate you're content. It's been helping me gear up for my first marathon in June :)

[@gallardo6716]

This was a fun watch Ben and Sarah! I've been following for a few years and this has to be one of my favorite videos :)

[@optionaldaveuk]

Great video, well done both of you. I was time keeping at Great Yarmouth. Tough on the soft sand 👏👏

[@BenParkes]

Thank you for helping put the event on Dave!!

[@Specsrcool]

Enjoyed this- well done both 👍 more parkrun based challenges would be appreciated!

[@jessicaoconnor7441]

OMG what a brilliant video. Had a smile on my face from the first few seconds right up to the end. 😁

[@jordanstobbart2030]

One of the most enjoyable KZbin videos I’ve watched for a while, great stuff Ben and Sarah

[@HappyPotter24]

This was so good! I needed this one today. Thanks for the good vibes. Of course more like this please!

[@Steve-vr6mq]

Great fun video. Well done Sarah. Good luck to both of you in your continued training.

[@amarikrm]

I bloody enjoyed this video! You should do more challenges!

[@andyjamesmciver]

That was awesome. Well done to you both. Really fun to watch.

[@UltraReegz]

Loved this video! Great concept racing each other at different parkruns!

[@sharonlong8177]

Oh such a fun video! Thank you Ben & Sarah ❤ Awesome results around! Go Sarah Go 😂 We would have come down to meet you Ben we are only 25 mins from Thetford Forest 🌳 could of had a Roast Dinner waiting for you 😂

[@runmyworld]

“Enjoy that?” “No” 😂😂 hilarious Ben well done both of you That was such fun to watch great PB Sarah

[@BenParkes]

.. and then 1 minute later .. yes I did enjoy it, loved it.. when can I do it again!! haha

[@runmyworld]

@@BenParkes 😂😂

[@severiner7168]

Really fun video, thank you both 🙂 Yarmouth looks brutal! I had to do 400m on sand at the end of a HM once and it was near impossible.

[@MarcsCorinthians]

Really fun video! Great work both of you 😊

[@avawhelan5982]

Fun video, really liked it. One of your best. Well done and thanks Sarah and Ben

[@alanshrimpton6787]

That was a fun video. Well constructed. Congrats to both of you, Sarah for the win and Ben for the gallant loss.

[@melaniebailey3446]

Best video ever! 😂 Congratulations Sarah, you were AWESOME! 👏🎉

[@CorvusVal]

Brilliant video guys, great fun. Well done Sarah! As Sarah's times come down further Ben will have to go to the next hardest park runs...

[@henryfoster4467]

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO!! Please do moreeeeee

[@chrisparker1796]

Great vid guys, really enjoyed it and congrats Sarah. I thought we were going to get a Hollywood ending where Sarah won the challenge but Ben gets a course record. Ben needs to go back and get that record for sure.

[@BenParkes]

Yes.. would love to. Some of the regulars are going to text me if they are expecting good conditions. As most weeks it's just impossible! Need to go just after a lot of rain or when it's frozen ideally!

[@christinaclementson]

Really enjoyed this!! A little bit of fun 😊🤣😊🤣 Great running Sarah and congrats on the win 🎉

[@The_Funky_Horn]

Great video!! You’ve helped me fight off the Sunday Scaries!! You guys are lovely. Hopefully see you at Wokingham.

[@PatriceMesiersWorld]

hey ben and sarah! i originally came across your page due to me now having a broken ankle/horrible fracture. i came across one of your videos on your way to & from the hospital 🏥. now i’m hooked on your entire page! #new-subscriber!!

[@wilberforce9]

Great video - thanks, Ben! Lovely cameo from Jersey legend Beth Rainbow too.

[@Ammerstol]

Loved the video Ben. This must have been quite a fun challenge for you both :)

[@Dragon_Runner_Letty]

Absolutely loving Sarah’s energy at the start 😊 Great video really enjoyed seeing the friendly rivalry between you both. Great work to you both 🎉🎉

[@WayeOfLife]

Best video you've done. So exciting. Congrats to Sarah not just on the result, but also the edit!

[@philjordan1749]

Very entertaining video folks. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great effort from you both. 😀

[@jaycoane6127]

Great video, very original! Loved seeing you both in a video👍

[@robertw4918]

This was really fun and nice setup. Also random head to head races between random runners could be interesting.

[@timeonfeet]

Great work both. Would love to try Great Yarmouth at some point. Well I say love, but it sounds tough going but intrigued to give it a go!

[@russamehta]

Great idea, great video. And that intro - legendary!

[@SamHerbert50]

Brilliant!! Loved this! Go Sarah and your friend videoing 🙌 Can we have some more of you against each other, so much fun! Love seeing Sarah run 🏃‍♀️

[@thomasmcbane8758]

Such a great video guys! More of this sort of stuff please! And Sarah at the beginning …….😂😂😂😂 well done both!!!

[@jeabea8682]

Sooooo nice!! It was fun watching this! And by the way a very cool editing. But most important: You both are so nice people.

[@LaszloTimar]

What a great video! Really enjoyed this one, great job guys!

[@edbroughton1192]

Brill video, loads of fun to watch. You should come and run the Chariots of Fire beach race here in St Andrews on June 4th - barefoot on sand!

[@roymb1975]

Guys, this was really fun video to watch. Keep up with your quality content.

[@mitchatkins7402]

Well done, Sarah! Your time is faster than mine, so I am trying to catch you too🤣 Great idea for a video, guys, riveting stuff!

[@larb6972]

Fantastic video and fairplay to you for driving 3.5hours to do a challenge (for us essentially) Great content as always Congrats to you both👍.... I'm inspired to challenge my bro now 😁

[@samjenkins3473]

Fair play, love the commitment of staying away for the vid 👌🏼

[@sambassett5]

Great video Ben! Brings back memories of running along Great Yarmouth beach when working away last year. Can imagine the parkrun was tough going on the soft sand! 🥵

[@cuddles1140]

Hello Everybody….😂😂….that Intro by Sarah….I am glad that we’re not the only ones imitating Ben when we watch the videos 🤣🤣🤩

[@cuddles1140]

Great Result Sarah 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@tobyk8125]

Totally needs to sell some "hellovribuddy" merch!

[@GaryJahman]

This was really entertaining! Great video and good luck with all the training! Greetings from 🇳🇱

[@laurainthehaute918]

Loved this and the editing was amazingly fun. Kudos to you both!❤❤

[@daslaufwunder2321]

Best running channel. Please more videos like this one. Wish both of you all the best. Greetings from germany.

[@adam85296]

Actually great planning to get that so close both of you - wicked concept and execution!

[@ian757]

That was such a fun challenge. Well done to both of you and special well done to Sarah! Best of luck to to both in your forthcoming marathons. I’m following your intermediate plan for a 1:35 Half at Cambridge in 4 weeks and if I got 1:37 I’d be super pleased. I’ll let you know. 😎👍

[@BenParkes]

Good luck at Cambridge!! Come back and let us know how you get on!

Love the video format, great one Sarah and Ben!!!!

Yesss, was routing for Sarah! Fun video!

[@MT-kl5kt]

Great to see Sarah watching Geowizard! Nice work on the win 🎉👍 Tough efforts all 'round.

[@BenParkes]

Yes, we watch all his videos and play geoguesser together pretty much every day!

[@paulvymeris425]

Well done guys, fantastic video - so much fun!!

[@Badger6022]

Welcome to great yarmouth! Of all the places I would never have thought to see you in my home town!

[@michaelbennett6778]

Really fun idea and vid - well done both 👊🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[@brionia9760]

Loved this one, such a fun challenge to watch. More Sarah please (not less Ben, just more Sarah!). I know you said you don’t like talking to the camera, but any chance of seeing more of your marathon training Sarah? Thanks 👍

[@markcobbold3539]

Such a great fun video. Put a smile on our faces before heading off for work.

[@rubarb1275]

Well done Sarah! Great video, and amazing running from you both. Quick observation though - the docklands parkrun looked quite dangerous as the runners dodged between metal posts and trees! 😧 I’m surprised that people don’t get hurt!

[@BenParkes]

Yes there are a lot of bollards and things to dodge!

[@rubarb1275]

@@BenParkes do you think running that parkrun on sand in those conditions helps your training at all? I’m wondering if if it adds a dimension that you don’t have currently, or if it hinders your progress at all?

[@tonyreeves5083]

I love this! Well done you two - this was a lot of fun to watch. Well done on your cracking times

[@danb9012]

Another superb video Ben & Sarah 😂 I really look forward to seeing a notification for a new video dropping. Currently starting week 6 of your sub 3 hour marathon plan and all coming together nicely. I cannot wait for London. First marathon #gettingitdone 👍🏻

[@simonhodgson4941]

Awesome video both, loved that. Congratulations Sarah 🏅🏆👏👏👏

[@Bongokingish]

Love this format, great video! Found myself getting genuinely nervous when you were revealing times 🤣

[@TolunayOrkun]

It was fun watching you guys! Congratulations to both of you! Both of you raced tough! Super PB for Sarah! 👏

[@heatherhepplewhite7885]

What a great idea for a video! You are both so fast! Looks like I need to do some interval training. Sarah, what’s your secret to speed?

[@tilda3141]

This was such a fun video! I love parkrun - free, for everyone, forever 😍
