[@DevRunner]

COngratulation to you both for a great race! Amazing and inspiring that you did this so soon after the Manchester Marathon! I'll be trying to run a marathon on the track in 3 days after finishing one 5 weeks ago, so this is real motivation! Keep pushing!

[@NicBen]

Amazing! Thanks for the comment and very best of luck!! What a challenge! 👏😊

[@itsjustus949]

Great race for both of you and I am new to your channel and have enjoyed both of the most recent marathon videos. I am just getting back into running and getting fit myself but this does make me motivated to hopefully run a marathon in the new year or so or at least a half marathon.

[@NicBen]

Amazing, thank you so much for watching both videos. All the very best getting back into it. Good for you!! 😊😊

[@jackmedley4712]

I watched a bunch of your videos before running this marathon and got some super useful tips, thanks! I also think I spotted you guys in the Yellow start!! Congrats both!

[@NicBen]

Amazing! Thanks so much! We really love making these videos and building a small running-based community. Means a lot! How did you get on!?

Fantastic day and well done to you both! Tough going with Manchester only a week before 🏆

[@NicBen]

Thank you!!

[@ollie1317]

I did my first marathon last sunday in 3:54 and 6 days later did a super gentle 3 mile run! Doing another marathon 7 days later (and making it look so easy!) is insane😂

[@NicBen]

Haha thanks so much!!!! Wowzer ! Congratulations on your first marathon!!! Just brilliant! 👏 would you do another!?

[@ollie1317]

@@NicBen yes definately, the time was better than i dreamt of but i went far too quick and didn't stick to plan at all,so sure i can do better next time

[@NicBen]

@@ollie1317 so easy to do!! Would you do another one? Have you got one in mind? 😊

[@ollie1317]

@@NicBen will definately do another, not particularly got one in mind(a flatter one would be nice ha), but possibly same one next year as local. Wife has MS so i don't like to go too far but this was close enough for her to get a lift from her son so had her and grandson to greet me at finish,which was nice.

[@NicBen]

@@ollie1317 sounds like a good plan :) good on you!

[@tworunningbrooms]

You seemed to float through that one, Nic like an aerobic machine. Hope you take a well earned rest. Sorry it wasn't Ben's day but he's a class act and will doubtless be back.

[@NicBen]

Thanks so much both! We appreciate your support 😊😊

[@markbarnes6415]

Well done guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@NicBen]

Thanks so much!

[@samdking]

Incredible effort a week after Manchester. Would love to run London one day. Have to ask, how have you managed to run it 9 times?

[@NicBen]

Thank you! My first place back in 2014 was a ballot place and then from there, I've just grateful enough to keep running GFA or Championship entry times. Thanks for the comment :)

[@samdking]

@@NicBen that's awesome, well done.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Amazing. Well done 👌

[@NicBen]

Thank you!! X

[@mrafza]

Hiya Nice video Question for ben Im in the same position with ankle issues Got the marathon tomorrow What painkillers did you use Please? Im terrified 😨

[@NicBen]

Thanks for the comment! Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow. Just generic painkillers but seek medical advice first! Listen to your body, adjust your goals if you need to (there's always another marathon), and just enjoy it. 😊

[@anto_runs]

Looks like you had a great day! We’ll done both 🎉

[@NicBen]

Nic, I briefly said hello to you at the end of the race. Well done on back to back marathons - I felt your pain 😵‍💫 Sub 3 next, that’s my plan 🙏✊👍😀

[@NicBen]

Love this!!!! Have you run sub 3 before!? All the best! Where's next? 😊
