[@misterbelll]

Hi Ben, got your Marathon plan for my wife and she followed it ...she ran a successful Sydney marathon & we were delighted with her performance....started like a lamb & finished like a lion....or Lioness.... lifetime PB & feels good enough to run at Perth marathon in 3 weeks.... Thanks to your videos, your plan, she got it done...👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ Cheers ..Steve Don

Great that you are at the start of the Berlin Marathon again this year. 👍🏻🇩🇪

[@lorenzberg9389]

Ben Parkes, all the best for the Marathon. I so much appreciate all you do. Thank you for all the content you produce and share it with all of us. Only the best for you, you really deserve it 😊👍👌🙏

[@seegee1613]

Cheers Ben!!!! MY first Berlin, thanks for your tips

[@robertmelendez6677]

Ben, thanks for this vlog! I’m running Berlin and was hoping you would do a vlog like this one. Appreciate you!!

[@paulrainieruy8529]

thanks for the tips! hope to bump into you in Berlin

[@konstanzekaas1521]

Thank you, thank you thank you!!! ❤❤ It is going to be my first Berlin Marathon and first marathon ever. And I've been living here since last year. So extra special 🎉 Nice to be running the same race as you, you are my favorite channel. Of course, I will arrive at the finish two hours after you 😂

Hi Ben, thanks, very useful video. All the best for you and your family. Best regards

Get to the athlete entrance early, the area is huge and the ways are long to the starting area. Forget a warmup jog, it's too crowded :). See you there. ... and the O in Tempelhof is a long one ;). First timers don't have to start at the end. You can put a half marathon time on the website as well. I started in Block A actually last year with my half marathon PB :). You can still change that in your profile until 22nd of September. Everyone peeing everywhere is also common in Berlin outside the marathon ;), one reason not to live there acutally. Yep plastic cups are annoying.

Thanks Ben ❤ I hope yo meet you over there 😊

Berlin and other majors aren't great because they are majors. They are majors because they are great. The WMM started in 2006, a relatively new concept, which exists IMO to rinse more money out of punters. Valencia is the best marathon I've done and it isn't a major!!

[@razmseleku2589]

Great stuff and best of luck for your race! I live in Berlin and will be supporting on the streets, but will also be running my first marathon in Lisbon the week after. If I survive, hopefully will do Berlin next year! :D PS. I can think of why Berlin Marathon doesn't flood you with emails and content prior to the race like others, because its not the German way. Only speak what is necessary, nothing less, nothing more. As a South African living and working here, you learn this fast :P

[@tomekiriazi8736]

Hello Ben I am also doing Berlin, it's my first marathon aswell. I plan to join your shakeout run. Good luck and hope to see you there.

[@ads-porewealth96]

Your background music is hilarious 😂

[@silvertreasure5564]

Is Berlin the only major where bag drop is not included?

[@Larsschmidt14]

Uhh! I forgot this channel existed.

[@philippernst4877]

that guy pucking his guts out 200m before the finish lin at 10:16 😅

[@jimmywu5924]

hi, Ben. I usually watch your regular KZbin channel, but I just stumbled upon this one today by chance. What is the difference between this one and your main KZbin channel?

[@LadyLikeMX]

I am very nervous!

[@gabrielraileanu8905]

I am going to be in Berlin for the marathon as a suporter for friends. Do you know if I can visit the Expo without being runner in the marathon? Would love to buy some stuff from there

[@silvertreasure5564]

Yes, it is open to everyone. But on Saturday if it is really crowdy it could be that runners who have to collect their stuff are prioritized. But normally everyone can go in there and is encouraged to also spend money. Expo is pretty nice 😁

[@fahmihardy1264]

Any recommendations for a place to stay?

[@nikolaykumchev9530]

Hi Ben, I am also doing Berlin. Have you decided on a time & place for the shakeout run?

[@tomekiriazi8736]

It's posted on his blog, I am planning to be there aswell.

[@frankiew1922]

Bro wears the Queens Mittens on his race day and I can’t say anything cuz he faster than me 😂😂😂

[@DerDoener]

What's that about having to start from the back as a first time marathoner? Berlin will be my first marathon and I could put in a time prediction. For times faster than 3h15m you need to provide a result from a previous race, but half-marathon times are accepted for that as well.

[@crazytitan21]

Berlin was my first ever marathon last year and you don't need to start at the end. Just like you said, you can pick a time and get your starting block.

[@gabrielastockler8081]

Do they actually check your id? Or just the race card?

[@alexanders4911]

What will the weather be like? ❤

[@MyCommentsAreFictional]

Very Wet and WINDY!!!!

[@Alex-fl2yh]

Why did I pay for bag dropoff. I live 15 minutes from the start
