Running a sub 20 minute 5k for the FIRST TIME!

[@alfdickinson1971]

Well done Ben, the improvement since The Chalkwell PR vlogg is amazing... I do love the pink Fordy vest-its says everyday runner means business/maniac effort lol

[@Manuel_712]

Congratulations Fordy. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Never give up!!!!!!!. A nice sunday for everyone.

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you

[@danmenes3143]

Congratulations, Ben! Happens I just set a new 5k PR yesterday myself (23:55, first time under 25 min). I know that "a bit broken" feeling!

[@FordyRuns]

Nice work!

[@slowloris1847]

Nice work on the pb! I've loved the ATW events I've done so far. Look forward to signing up to another one.

[@jameschaves5723]

Congratulations Ben 🎉🎉

[@dodomaur]

Well done great achievement

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you

[@NERunner]

Great work, Ben, well done. The 20 min barrier is psychological, once you break it plenty more will come too 😃

[@FordyRuns]

Thanks

[@davidrogers5443]

Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you

[@christinaclementson]

I love Debden Airfield too. I do the Essex 20 there every year. Boring if you don’t like laps 😂 Congratulations Ben, that’s an amazing time 🎉

[@FordyRuns]

Not sure I could do 20 laps!!

[@christinaclementson]

@@FordyRuns 🤣🤣 it’s 20 miles so 5 laps! I don’t think I could handle 20 laps 🤣🤣

[@Enoch-Root]

I may be capable of doing a sub 20 or at least close, but I really just can't bring myself to try, running sub 4 minute kilometers five times in a row just fills me with dread.

[@Ozzy1984_]

I think my PB times are a bit off to be fair. 5K is 19:13. 10K is 39:47. Half is 1:39:15 and mararthon is 3:57

[@lorrainecowan7288]

I would like to say it was good what you were saying about marathon goals thats what I going to do tranning every year for one I thick you do it in 20 mins 5k

[@francismckenna7338]

Well done Ben

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you

[@Kaisersozze]

I came to see what running shoes you were using but didn't see shoes in the video. Anyway, congrats!

[@FordyRuns]

He was wearing the ASICS metaspeed Sky+ you can just make them out 🤦‍♂️

[@markhill8590]

Congratulations fordy!!

The awkward moment when the sensei becomes the student

[@MarkSmith_Best-Athletics]

Guess at 19:55

[@MarkSmith_Best-Athletics]

Congratulations Ben, that's a great time and quicker than I have gone this year I think 👍 That first mile must have broken you!! 😂

[@FordyRuns]

[@Stevenc1984]

18:56... good luck!

[@Stevenc1984]

I think there's a sub 19 in Ben, a couple more attempts before the end of the year and I think he would get it. He could also do with a few fast runners around his pace, it looked a little lonely for him on this one. Congratulations on the PB! 🎉🎊🏅😎

[@bcockton]

Let's go with 19:38

[@FordyRuns]

[@dinicti]

[@FordyRuns]

[@peterrobertson1687]
