Meet Ben Parkes

[@TomSzczepanski]

Great interview, pretty scary to hear how close Ben came to losing his hobby and job

[@RunningReborn_ShaneBenzie]

It really is Thomas, he's worked really hard and it's great to hear how passionate he is about running.

[@ThePaulaon1]

Yeah that bit had me taking in a deep breath 😟.

Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@elishapablo1786]

@Blaze Jason I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

I don’t think I could do running competitively. I started running a few months ago and I just love it. Don’t get me wrong I love trying to improve my times and stuff but I feel like if you do this as a job it’s too much pressure. As he said I love the fact that I can go out, run and enjoy it. As long as you enjoy it everything else will come eventually! Great interview!

[@RunningReborn_ShaneBenzie]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Also love how running is so much to so many, everyone has their reason.

[@BarbaraAnnB-yi5ew]

I love Ben Parkes. His positive attitude and his running motivates me so much.

[@Olenka303]

I like Ben even more after this interview. You are correct, he is down to Earth, nice guy who shares his running journey. Thank you for the episode.

[@RunningReborn_ShaneBenzie]

I actaully really enjoyed that discussion. Interesting to hear about some of the technicalities and what lead to a drastic improvement in marathon time. Thank you.

[@RunningReborn_ShaneBenzie]

Great stuff, glad you enjoyed :)

[@martynpanting]

Absolutely fascinating to hear you two talking. I think I nodded and agreed about 783 times during that chat!

[@RunningReborn_ShaneBenzie]

Thank you, that's great to hear. Have you enjoyed the videos on the site yet?

[@martynpanting]

@@RunningReborn_ShaneBenzie Yes! working my way through. Every run is an opportunity to practise moving beautifully at the moment. I need to get my wife out in the cold to start filming me though so I can check reality with my perception!!!

[@RunningReborn_ShaneBenzie]

@@martynpanting brilliant stuff. Definitely worth doing the filming when you can, it'll bring it all together to make much more sense!
