Great year Ben. I think you have a really solid community with you and behind you.. it’s clear from all the comments and feedback. HNY bud

Great plans for 25 too…

Thanks for being one of the OGs James I really appreciate all the support bud. Hopefully our paths will finally cross in 2025. 🤞😎🤘

Cheers for being part of the OG crew Ian! The Goggins challenge is something I would like to do for sure but it's something that probably wouldn't sit too well with head office 🤣 Who knows what 2025 has in store though. 😎🤘

I did the 4x4x48 in October. It really isn't hard doing the distance. The thing I found hard was just having the motivation to get out the door during the silly hours because after about 36hrs it starts to get a bit of a drag 😂 I lost 3lb in weight, which wasn't bad either. A fun challenge which I'm glad to have got completed 😎

🤣 looking forward to having you back in the game mate! Roll on 2025! 😎🤘

Bring it on mate! 😎🤘

No there isn't unfortunately Graham. It's more of a challenge to complete the distance than racing for a time mate. Still a very handy training tool though. Thanks for checking out the video bud. 😎🤘

Thanks very much Neil! Looking forward to getting stuck into the new year mate. Also looking forward to a podcast feature 🙂👍 Bring on the new year! 😎🤘

I'm with you on the 1.6 sun's, Lee. It's insane Ben isn't on 10k

@RunSensible it's a scam that's what I say 🤣

I’m sure YT subs come from unboxing - first run - 50 mile review - 100 mile review - comparison models review etc. Ben should be on more for sure!

Very kind of you as always Lee. I really appreciate all the support and friendship bud. Not really doing this game for the subs anyway they're just a bonus. I just want to have something to show my boys that I am at least a little bit cool 🤣 Happy New Year bud. Bring on 2025! 😎🤘

Going to make sure I do more first run reviews in 2025.......noooooot! 🤣😜

Cheers Mark! Thanks for being part of the OG crew! Bring on 2025! 😎🤘

Go for it Martin! That will be the ideal race for you mate! Home trails 👌 Don't fancy the 50 miler? Hope to share the trails with you in 2025 bud. 😎🤘

@@BenNotley Thank you Ben. Yeah I do fancy the 50 miler - Will probably find a 50 miler middle of the year to get done for my first one. We sure are running together this year mate, need to run with the masters of distance! We will sort something out.

Cheers Jat! Been up and down over the last few weeks mate. Hopefully get back in the groove soon. Happy New Year to you bud! Hope you're well! 😎🤘

@@runningcafe1 Cheers Craig! It was a rough week but pleased to say we came out the other side and I am able to run again. Had some help from the physio to help straighten me out and hopefully help build some strength too. Hope you had a great Christmas mate! 😎🤘

@BenNotley mate, amazing to hear! I am shocked as I thought sciatica was a long term condition. Are you cured? Do you have any tips to prevent it? Wish you well my friend and happy running 😁

@runningcafe1 it wasn't diagnosed as Sciatica clbut the symptoms were very similar. There is a chance that if your discs don't cause the pain your muscles are the cause. Mine was muscular so I think I dodged a bullet. I have been given some strengthening exercises from the physio to help strengthen my chain up. 👍

Cheers Reto! Happy New Year to you buddy! It's been a bit of an up and down few weeks mate but I am sure I will get back in the swing of things soon. Thanks for watching as always! 😎🤘

It's nasty mate! Terrible pain! Luckily mine was more muscle related over a slipped disc etc. the physio has given me some things to work on to ease pain and strengthen me. Hopefully you can get back in action soon mate! Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

@ you too Merry Christmas!

It was a terrible 5 days Antony. Glad to say I am over it all now. Training has resumed. Our bodies are crazy! 🤣 Luckily antibiotics can work wonders. Happy Christmas to you and the family buddy! 😎🤘

They are both nasty in their own right mate. Glad to have had a different week this week. The recovery has been really strong. Merry Christmas Ian! 😎🤘

It was a rough 5 days Richard but I am happy today the worst of it is behind me now and I am 99% back to full health. Merry Christmas mate! 😎🤘

It was a shocker Charmain. Glad to say I have bounced back pretty quickly. Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

Absolute pain mate....literally 🤣 Luckily the recovery has been really strong Francois. Completely different week this week mate. Merry Christmas to you and your family bud. 😎🤘

My goodness that's crazy. It's weird how our bodies work. Sorry to hear you suffered mate. Thanks for checking out the video. Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

Cheers! Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

When it rains it pours Marc! 🤣 Glad its all in the last now mate. Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

Cheers buddy! Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

They are really nasty. Luckily I wasn't in too much pain from it this time. I knew some tricks to help minimise it. Glad it's all behind me now though. Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

It was a shocking 5 days mate! Completely caught me off guard. Glad to say I am working through it all mate. Looking forward to starting the new year fitter and stronger! Merry Christmas Neil! 😎🤘

@BenNotley same to you pal.

It was a shocker Tom! Glad to say I am mostly over it all now. I do daily stretching and yoga but it was a hip and glute weakness that caused my back to flare up in too.of.increased workload at work. Loads of lifting and shifting. Hopefully I can work through it and straighten myself out for 2025. Merry Christmas mate! 😎🤘

Cheers Donato. Antibiotics have got me back on track with my throat. My back was down to hip and glute weaknesses and over use from work. The physio has given me some exercises to help balance me out a bit. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

@ glad to hear that Ben. Hope you are enjoying Christmas 🎉

Cheers Pete! The antibiotics have got me back on the straight and narrow mate. Been to see the physio too and he's said that the back pain isn't disc related which is a relief it's due to over use and a weakness in my hip and glute. He's given me some strength and conditioning to help align me a bit better. Hopefully that will help me start 2025 in a better place. Merry Christmas bud! 😎🤘

Cheers James! Been on the mend this week bud. Need to try and be a bit more sensible I guess. Merry Christmas mate! 😎🤘

Cheers Don! It's been a different story this week. The recovery has been really strong. Merry Christmas bud! 😎🤘

@@BenNotley Merry Christmas to you and your family also Ben.

The shoes were saved for a week but they have been put through the ringer again this week. Back on the tough tow paths 🤣 Merry Christmas Tim! 😎🤘

@ good to hear. So you will now need some recovery boots ?

@TimGrose just been emailing companies this afternoon. Maybe a large American based TH-cam giant can step in to sort me out with some if my begging doesn't pay off. 🤣

@@BenNotley need to Believe !

What a shocker of a week Mark but I am pleased to say this week has been a different story. If you have seen on Strava you will already know 🤣 Hope you're well mate. Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

They have said that I am a rare case where it could keep reoccurring. So chances are we will be back again next year. Doesn't happen often enough to be considered for a tonsil removal either apparently. Back was extra work related and slight hip and glute weakness which triggered it. Physios put me on the right track though. Recovery has been great. Merry Christmas Carl! 😎🤘

@BenNotley Good to hear. Weak glutes are a nightmare!

Completely took me by surprise this one! When it rains it pours. Luckily this week has been a different story. Really strong recovery which is great. Merry Christmas Simon! 😎🤘

Merry Christmas to you and your family to @@BenNotley Hopefully we'll finally be able to get together for that run we almost arranged four years ago in th 2025 😃

It was a complete blow out mate 🤣 Complete different story this week though. Recovery has been really strong which is good. Amazing what antibiotics can do 🤣 Merry Christmas bud! 😎🤘

Thanks Lin! As you know my recovery has been pretty good. Straight back into it. 🤣 Merry Christmas! 😎🤘

Such a shocker James. Well on the mend now mate. Merry Christmas bud! 😎🤘

Cheers Gaz! Recovery has been pretty strong mate. Happy Christmas bud! 😎🤘

Cheers Michael! This week has been a completely different story. Recovery has gone really well mate. Hope you have a good Christmas mate! 😎🤘

Completely caught me off guard this one JBS! After this week though the recovery has been really positive. No issues with my back and the throat is back to 100% the physio has given me some S&C workouts to straighten me out. 😎🤘

@@ShouldaWaved I think there is a version available e with some metal spikes on the outsoles which are specifically designed for running on ice and snow. Thanks for checking out the video I really appreciate it. 😎🤘

Cheers Michael! Thanks for watching mate! 😎🤘

That's very kind of you Shaun! I really appreciate the support mate. I really rates the Embrace Ultra events. Super races across the board. Really well organized. 👌 I think they are changing the format of the Triple Trail this year offering a 100K and a 50K race on the same day. If you live in the south east all of their races are well worth looking into. Thanks for the support once again mate. 😎🤘

Thanks Lusya! 😎🤘

Cheers Stephen! He never ceases to impress. I think he could have easily knocked out another lap but it's best not to overdo it with these little ones. I am sure next year he will be keen to bump it up again. Thanks for checking out the video bud. 😎🤘
