HACKNEY HALF MARATHON RACE VLOG 2023- NEW PB!!!

[@theboybrand]

What an awesome brother you are Ben! My brother didn't bother his arse watching me do my first marathon when I ran by his house 😂

[@ritaotoole197]

😂

[@Cuca138]

Yeah! Congrats Ellie!

[@annestrock4917]

Always enjoy your behind the scene and race vlogs. You always seem to capture the essence of the race experience so well!

[@melchiorvalentine769]

Fantastic Ellie, well done! Have to thank you Ben, I ran my first race (Manchester 10k) last Sunday and both you and Kofuzi have played a massive part in me enrolling. Thank you, so inspiring. Never experienced anything like it, came in at 46mins and loved it so much I found another race last night. Thank you for what you are doing for all of us, you are on to an amazing thing.

Brilliant effort, Ellie, for your PB. We'll done Ben for supporting your sister 👏🏿

[@paperjourni8964]

it is so heartwarming and amazing to see how everything around running is such a huge playground for you! congrats to Ellie!

[@paperjourni8964]

ah, ‚wholesome‘ was the word I was looking for! you said it yourself haha

[@hellomark1]

I wish my fam ran! My sister once said she'd try to run a race but that was pre-pandemic... also I'd be totally stoked to be running a race and get a random high five from you on the sidelines!

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

Stayed in the Nhow in London last year in December - really nice hotel hope you enjoyed it mate. Another awesome video 👍🏻

[@lauraablitt6379]

Congratulations Ellie! Well done on your PB, the hard work pays off

[@chrisscott5059]

Great PB Ellie... well done. Ben, thanks for the high five and the feature in the video 😂 literally made my day. You've definitely inspired my running, I can't thank you enough... keep going 💪

[@The_Italian_Job]

Nice one Ben and congrats Ellie! It was my first run and I caught you supporting the Puresport lads (and lasses) just about where you were recording! 1:28 for me, I was very happy all things considered

[@PerBarholm]

i stayed at that hotell last year when i was over in london and it has to be the coolest placed i've ever stayed in in terms of design :D

[@edwardaustin6410]

I participated in the Hackney Half, shame I didn’t know you were going to be kerbside. Great event and I’ve already entered for next year.

[@runningoneddie]

I saw Nick Bester's video yesterday. Looked like a pretty cool race. Not sure I was a big fan of the massive staggered start but overall looked like a well attended event with some great stuff at the end. Now way could I do a long run on a treadmill. You have more discipline than I do when it comes to that. I can only last a mile or two on it before I start to go crazy. As usual, love your content and love seeing you capture the elements of the race.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Digging the London Underground mug, Ben! Great video

[@Ouga_Official]

Newbie question: how do you put strides on a treadmill? Do you just keep pushing the speed up button till you get to what you want then do the 30 second then push down button or is there a way the pros can already plan 6 times something? This just occurred to me because I didn’t realise you can do strides on a treadmill… I am watching a bunch of these blogs for inspiration because I am debuting a half marathon in September and just started my 12 week training block.

[@amandawalker4510]

Just fantastic 🎉🎉🎉

[@Sandeep-fl1tl]

I completed Hackney Half Marathon last week was tough with hills and heat but loved it. Congratulations to Elle 😊

[@kathrynflannery2889]

Well done! Great run Ellie!

[@gravypuk]

I wasn't going to comment, but did say the treadmill was a bit of a grind. A suggestion is to run out and back when I am not sure of the area, so I don't get lost or worry about getting back on time. I find the return leg is good because I know where the finish lies and can count down the Kms. The view and experience is so different going the other way it still feels much like a loop. Great event, hope to do it one day and smash that PB, well done Ellie 🎉

[@MartinCharlton-ds7ro]

Hi Ben - gave you a shout out at around the 1 mile mark - many congrats to Ellie on her PB - despite not having my best race on Sunday I did manage 1st place in my age category but I’m not a great fan of the current course (it originally included a section of the Olympic Park) as there are now too many twists and turns and narrow sections.

[@prast123]

Congrats Ellie.. Well done on your pb 🔥

[@severiner7168]

What a great PB, well done Ellie!

[@ritaotoole197]

Congratulations Ellie , great job 👏

[@Snerunseasy]

Great vlog once again Ben,well done Ellie 👏👏👏

[@christophercolley4319]

Hi Ben, I ran the Hackney Half and I think I spotted you just after the start, probably waiting for your sister go to past 👍

[@EggsBaconBogeyNose]

Thanks for the high five up the first hill, Ben!

[@Jack-up1sb]

Well done Ellie, what an achievement :D

[@SBKEmber]

Props to you doing that run on the mill. It takes an injury or well below freezing for me to get on one. Keep up the great running content!

[@stevehogg2103]

Nice vlog 👍

[@christinaclementson]

Well done Ellie 🎉

[@xsaba187]

Congratulations Ellie 🎉

[@drewsonofmorris9147]

A local running store really pushes on running. Are they a solid shoe. I wear stability currently.

[@sambramwell5072]

haha, I honestly didn't realise that was you with the camera running alongside me. I was completely lost in the zone

[@CSRunner7]

Wow, any tips to run for that long on a treadmill 😮 👏

[@kushtrimtorozi]

Ben is running (on treadmill) 😅🚀

[@ian-mucarruthers441]

OK I'm sure I can get my head around this. Decided not to run the half, but got up at sparrows fart early to run two hours on a treadmill in a basement.... No does not seem to compute. 🤔 Great content. Thank you.

[@laurencharltonn]

How do you manage to do such long runs before eating breakfast?!!! I think I would pass out!😮

[@tomaindow]

Congrats to Ellie awesome achievement! Was she always into running or influenced by her brother?

[@Delvaux-Uk]

Is this a reupload? For some reason i feel like I’ve seen it before 😂😂

[@Rich_1]

Go Ellie

[@waynecanning7471]

Ben you should have done it for fun and ran with your sister the entire race.

[@MP-mn2tu]

Used to enjoy the Hackney half . Stopped because facilities were terrible and the start / finish area is appalling .

[@iansellers1251]

Hi Ben ,I'm the idiot shouting at you a couple of times along the route "Ben's not running " Then I realise you already done enough on the treadmill before we even started 😂 Apologies

[@CautionBeforeCoffee]

😂

[@dhdavidholloway]

yeah

[@halmo68]

Félicitations 🎉

[@rodyatsvetkov]

🫦💅

[@fabsterun]

Im back

[@garthcox4]

Probably a wise move not to be running around hackney at 5am!

[@Skyrbowl]

3rd comment and good running ben

[@bentaylor2235]

The nail paint is bizarre lol

[@thelostandfoundkid]

First!

[@grgr6720]

Going for a HM PB in 3 weeks. Some key workouts.. Last week I ran 2X5K at target pace with 3 min recovery. This week 2X6.5K at target pace with 3 min recovery. Next week a 15K race that I will not race at max but go for HM target pace. After that 1,5 weeks taper and race day. Excited to see how it works out!

[@emanuelsantos5585]

Really that nails.... 🤣

[@Manuel-pd9kf]

Third

[@edhare4572]

Please take that nail varnish off 😂😂

[@benwood918]

Nah bro looks cute af

[@robertbradshaw9367]

Erm....I noticed you wear nail varnish. Are you gender fluid? Hope you don't mind the question.

[@philellul4476]

What’s gender fluid he’s got a girlfriend

[@nath9091]

It was a joke for the Night 10k PBs as suggested by Philly Bowden. Bit funky but that's the backstory.

[@philellul4476]

Well done Ellie 🎉
