Thank you so much for all your support yesterday Ben. It was a great boost to see you and Jay at Box Hill. Some super solid training throughout the week too mate! Monster milage! 💪 Great vid as always mate! 😎🤘
No worries at all mate. Great to see you out there and so good to see it all come together and you have a solid race! Looking forward to seeing your video of the day 😀Hope the recovery is going good
Can't miss Ben N. in his bucket hat and "Hoka blue" outfit!!! Quite a long run there Ben, 50k "getting in a few miles"!! Gorgeous!!
Definitely Bev, it's becoming something of a classic look for him. Makes it easier to spot him in a race!
So much fun to listen to your training, from run intensity, length, vert, swimming and all the other cross-training! And all the while these beautiful vistas are appearing behind you! Great stuff as always Ben! I can't wait to see you crush the 100 miles!
Thanks so much Paul 👍 not long now til the big day so just need to rest up and be ready 😀
Great filming Ben -love this content with a mix of stuff and beautiful countryside ! 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏼♀️
Thanks so much Michael! Hope you're keeping well and had a good time out on the North Downs yesterday 👍
Great video, loved the race coverage! The guy playing the flute and his dog would certainly bring a smile to my face during a race! Enjoy your take, looking forwardto seeing your race!! Good luck!
Thanks Kelly! That was really cool to stumble across the guy playing the flute. Definitely nice for the runners at 26 miles in to the race 😀
Wow, what an incredible journey you're on! Watching your training for the South Downs Way 100 has been so inspiring. It's great to see you pushing yourself and making adjustments to your training along the way. I have to say, using a whiteboard to keep track of everything is genius, even if it means reminding yourself to run slower and get better sleep. The views along the North Downs Way 50 look breathtaking. Keep up the fantastic work, and best of luck with your upcoming races. I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines... or should I say, the comment section, hehe! You've got this!
Thanks so much Mihai. I've really enjoyed this training block and learnt a lot. All that's left to do is race now! I found the whiteboard really useful for remembering those simple messages to remember in training for the week. Hope you're keeping well and thanks for the support 👍
Time on feet is key… been working on that to build up my milage. Glad the training is going well .. great job supporting the NDW , I saw you on Ben’s video
Thanks James 👍 I've been trying to incorporate more speed hiking into my runs too as I'll been doing a lot of this during the 100! This has certainly helped tsked the strain off the limbs a bit in building up mileage safely. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Loved this Ben. was such a great day out there chilling with you. if I dont see you out there next weekend then ill be there for the 100. enjoy the taper mate 👍😊
Cheers buddy, great to see you there, really enjoyed it. I'll be out next weekend to cheer you on somewhere along the route on Sunday 👍 Have a good taper week and hope final prep for the race goes well
All going beautifully, Ben! Fingers crossed for you for an uneventful taper with no niggles!
Cheers Ian, hoping the maranoia won't set in but feeling good so far 😀
That mileage is hugely impressive even without the additional S&C and swimming. I love the way you peel off 30+ mile training runs after work.
That deep gully is a favourite from watching your routes. Is it called Devil's Ditch?
And as for those cows... well...
Thanks both. Definitely pleased to have hit the 3 week taper now starting this week! It's Devil's Dyke. Such a great spot to run and it has some pretty cool mythology behind it too. Rumour has it that the Devil created the Dyke to try and get the water from the sea to flood some local villages, it didn't work luckily as he was disturbed by a cockerel crowing. Lots of cows out and about on the Downs at the moment. But luckily the friendly kind 😀
I think that's an eminently plausible explanation for how the dyke appeared....
Great training so far. You seem ready! Can’t wait for you to enjoy the SDW100! The 80/20 rule worked really well for my sub 24hr training. Zone 2 training was valuable. Speak Friday mate.
Cheers Francois. Just a few weeks of taper now and it'll be go time! Look forward to speaking Friday 👍
Sea swimming is a great form of recovery, Ben, I agree. Good exercise too. By the way, sleep is so important! I sometimes nap deeply for from 40mins to an hour just before an evening run, makes a massive difference for me, works like a gel boost or even better. Your countryside down there is gorgeous. It was cool to see the runners on North Downs 50. Flute playing in the forest is just a magical sight! When is your big ultra?
Funny you say that Olga, just had a nap this afternoon to get some rest in before running this evening! It really helps with recovery for sure. Two and a half weeks now until race day so I've just started to taper!
Did the NDW bring back happy memories? I was going to meet at box hill originally but I altered my plan. Looking strong for the 100!
Cheers Dan. Definitely, I've got really fond memories of it from last year and it was great to view it from the other side this year and see a lot of the field out there enjoying it.
great work Ben, that run you did looked absolutely stunning! 7:27 is picture postcard perfect! 👌🏻 I must get myself down that way again and do some more beautiful runs (much as I like Oxford, it's certainly not as beautiful as the south coast!) really look forward to seeing how your race in a few weeks goes, you will absolutely smash it i'm sure. :) x
Thanks Nic! I love the trails around this way, would definitely recommend them if you're ever down Sussex and the South Coast. Thanks for the support 👍 Hope your training is going well
@@timeonfeet west sussex is about 2 hours ish away so not actually too far to contemplate making a trip for a long run actually (not sure why i've not thought about that before!). Training not terrible, did my first big 50km race last week, it didn't go to plan but I got it done and things to learn from so all in all not too bad. Next one up is RTTS 50km in 7 weeks.. eek! x
@@nicmarlow6388 ah that's good so not too far. congrats on getting it done, with these ultras that is always the key thing in the end, so well done for sticking with it! Hope the rest of the prep for RTTS goes well.
@@timeonfeet thanks Ben :)
Good training !
Cheers!
Hi Ben. I'm still watching so you may yet have mentioned this but I was wondering how your training runs, especially longer ones, tend to look in terms of running vs walking.
Do you walk some or most of the hills, does it depend on heart rate etc?
Great work with peak week training 👍🏻🏃♂️
Hi Mark. I typically walk all the hills unless it's a very gentle gradient and mostly run the flats and downhills. There were a few times for this run where my heart rate went into zone 3 even on flats so took a 30 second or so walking break for that part, but otherwise running
Hi Ben. Thanks for a great video as always. Please could you share the name of that niggle in your vein you were dealing with, and the name of the cream you got from your doctor?
Cheers Mark. Yes sure it's phlebitis and the name of the cream that the doctor prescribed was Hirudoid.
@@timeonfeet Thank you very much indeed, Ben. Hope you have a smooth taper and wonderful race in a couple of weeks
@@Mark-bf2ro No problem at all, thanks Mark 👍
What trainers you wearing?
The Asics Gel Cumulus 24
@@timeonfeet Oh really? Do you use road trainers for all your trail runs?
@@paulmulks Not usually but for summer runs where the trails are hard packed then I sometimes used road instead when I'm feeling like a lighter shoe with more breathability. These were good overall, you feel it on the soles of your feet a bit more towards the end of the run when they're over 20 miles but generally good levels of comfort
@@timeonfeet Fair enough buddy 👌🏻 My current shoe of choice for the trails is the Asics Trabuco Max 2, and they are brilliant for that sort of terrain. I did a half along the SDW today and my feet felt great, I'd definitely recommend them 👍🏻
@@paulmulks That's interesting you run in them as I was looking at thjose recently, may well get a pair. How are they for width?
