Glad to see you back again. Your previous videos had been super inspiring to me when I quit drinking. Your reasons for stopping felt really close to mine and struck a chord. Now I'm nearly 2.5yrs without a drink, got into running at the start of last year (just did a 12k cross country this morning) and basically pulled my life out the crapper slowly but surely. You shared your own experiences and helped at least one person out by doing so. Thankyou 💪
@@BenjaminLeeWright YES! Please keep posting your videos. Please avoid the toxic people. Rise above, and do you! It is why your followers, follow and it is why we love you!
Wheeey! Glad you followed up the last one. I'm one of the dudes you inspired to start my sober journey a few years back (got it to stick this year, 155 days and running loads) so really happy to see you back. Good luck on the training, dude! Ultras are a future aspiration of mine, now. No idea where that come from!
That's great to hear Daniel. I can't imagine life without the running now so longer distances seem the most logical thing to do. Keep me up to date with your training bud.
@@BenjaminLeeWright Getting through the first few months of running was they key for me, once I was lighter and stronger it turned in to a pleasure and helped me make right decisions in other areas of my life. Bolsters the mental toughness. Good luck with the training!
Love your mentality. Not Marathon Marathons setting big goals, love it! my next goal is to do a 20min 5k by the end of the year currently on 23min so hopefully i can do it but really struggling to find those extra 3mins and then maybe look into the half marathon next year
Would be cool to see another sobriety video! I remember you saying a few years ago you were gonna do a video about the darker last days of you drinking, and what led you to quit etc
1:44: Looking forward to learning more about HZ training 6:21: I’ve also noticed my physical limitations are mental. I only walk. My goal is 10k sets daily, but I hit around 5k steps on my good days. Busy work days, I hit around 3k. Anyway, as I am walking I’ve started noticing the mental “chatter”. I tell myself I’ll do a shorter walk and head back home. This is at the start of my walk. But I noticed my legs are feel great. It’s literally all in my head. I’m not certain why I do this to myself. 9:36: Please also share which electrolytes you like
Should have a video regarding HZ training in a few weeks. Definitely all in the mind. It's crazy how many limitations we put on ourselves. It is all down to us at the end of the day. I use an electrolyte tablet called phizz. It also has A-Z vitamins and I find it really helps to hydrate me.
Ultra-marathons, I'm impressed. It's great to see all the positive comments and how many people your videos have actively helped. Keep up the great work!
Awesome Ben....I predict after you do a road marathon and transition to trails/ultras you will be hooked. I'm 13 days away from a trail marathon....they are way kinder to your body than a road marathon...More variation in terrain!
Running content is my jam. Hope you have more luck getting views on it than I have so far 😄 Marathon training and then an ultra, that's awesome. I'm skipping the marathon and going straight for my first 50k, next May. How are you finding the Salomon vest? I keep looking at their Adv Skin 12 but it's a lot of money... reckon I'll go for it though 👍🏻🏃♂️
Doubt I'll get many views but it's where my head's at right now so it's best to stick with that. Fair play on going for the ultra. I may well do the same. I haven't got an official marathon in mind. I just want to do the distance. Will move on to an ultra as soon as I can. Love the Salomon vest. Very comfortable to wear. I got the Active Skin 4. Was £60 so not too bad.
find intermittent fasting very difficult. i like to eat i guess. I lost a lot of weight due to illness so i dont think its something i should be doing.
Another great video. I managed a good 7 miles on Sunday, so should hopefully be in decent shape for the Leeds Abbey Dash 10k on 23rd October. The Leeds Half Marathon is in May, so contemplating signing up for that. Hopefully that's enough time to get myself up to that kind of distance without doing myself an injury!
Nice to see you back Ben, look forward to more videos. Interested in the intermittent fasting. I just bought a squat rack for the pull up bar, and some rings to start some body weight training, at 52 it'll be a slow start, making sure I have proper form, and try not to injure myself. I do walk a hell of a lot, occasionally I will pop a run, but less so these days, coz I just plain don't enjoy it. I have been finding the callisthenics gives me a fair bit of the cardio hit i need, with the walking and occasionally run keeping the weight off ;)
I can cycle, which is good but at 58 motivation is harder than the exercise. I get most of my exercise from grafting. I spent 4 hrs hand digging a footing on Thursday then mixed a tonne of concrete. Exercise is a lot easier when you’re being paid

That is great to hear and always inspires to me to keep pushing with fitness and TH-cam.
Awesome to hear you are doing well 💪

Keep going with the sobriety. Even after 2 years I still keep feeling better.
Stay well Mr. Wright! You are an inspiration to us all.
Thanks a lot 💪

Cheers bro and good on ya for having a solid goal yourself. Faster 5k is on my to do list as well. I'm intending on doing a video about that soon.
Would be cool to see another sobriety video! I remember you saying a few years ago you were gonna do a video about the darker last days of you drinking, and what led you to quit etc
Zone 2 training is a go to zone for Peter Attia.

Heeey, nice to see you back.. I wondered where you had got to.. missed your good humour.
Thanks a lot 🤘
Interesting topics coming up. Keep on track 👍
Will do 💪
Great to see you back Ben... quick question. What earphones do you have in for running? Would you recommend them?
They are the Raycon everyday buds. I love them and use them all the time.
Have you read Cameron Hanes ENDURE? One of the best I’ve read in a while. Keep hammering Benjamin!!!
I have heard interviews with him but haven't read this one. I have added it to my audible wish list 🤘
Thankyou for doing these videos iv loved them from the very beginning...interesting and inspiring...and cant wait to see more
Thanks a lot. Glad you like them.

Great to hear man. I will keep an eye out on Strava to see how you get on.
I think your right. Reckon I'll enjoy the trail marathons a lot more 💪
Look forward to the intermittent fasting video and to see your thoughts and experiences with it
Should hopefully have that video out in a week or so
FABULOUS!!! So happy you are back!
Thanks Jana 💪

Fair enough mate. I have to monitor it as I put on weight very easily.

The Leeds Half Marathon is in May, so contemplating signing up for that. Hopefully that's enough time to get myself up to that kind of distance without doing myself an injury!
You should be fine on both counts mate. You'd be surprised how quickly you can build up to that half marathon distance.
If it wasnt for you m8 id be still drinking with my fatty liver
Glad to hear you're making changes bro 💪
@@BenjaminLeeWright cheers m8
Good luck on Sunday Ben.👍
good to see you doing good
Thanks a lot

Got on ya. I firmly believe that the best exercise is the one you enjoy. I fell in love with running. Never would have believed that a few years back.
Superb!
Cheers David
I’ve always hated running, but now I can no longer do it, I feel envious when I see videos like yours.
You’ll do it easily
Cheers mate. What sort of thing can you do cardio wise now?
I can cycle, which is good but at 58 motivation is harder than the exercise. I get most of my exercise from grafting. I spent 4 hrs hand digging a footing on Thursday then mixed a tonne of concrete. Exercise is a lot easier when you’re being paid
Good on ye.
Thanks bro 🤘
