Great run Ben! Love the video showcasing our community spirit we have here at Vicky Park. Great to meet you and thanks for the shoutout 😄.See you when you’re back in Leicester.
Well done, Ben. Captured the parkrun spirit perfectly. After a few weeks away from my local parkrun I'm looking forward to going back there on Saturday and catching up with everyone :)
Mo has come onto the local scene since winning Leicester half last year and has won a few of our local league races (I was 3rd behind him recently). You should check out watermead parkrun if you are back up this way, alot faster.
Second that what luke (who is a local speedster himself) said, watermead is worth a visit next time you are this way ben. Keep up the good content, ive been enjoying watching the vlogs of your running journey.
Oh man! Ben the “Parkrun King” has been dethroned! 😂 15:16! That is blazing fast! I ran a sub 25’ 5K pb yesterday, so your videos are a real help; I look forward to them!
Victoria Park! This use to be my stomping ground.. I hope you enjoyed it..I see you've met Mo! As others have mentioned he's tearing up the Leicestershire road racing scene!
Ah man, would have liked to meet you at parkrun. I too was at a wedding. Getting lapped by Mohammed is one of the quintessential Leicester running experiences.
Great video again Ben! Hungover parkruns are always more enjoyable parkruns glad to hear you had 4 pints beforehand! Just broke my 5k pb today 16:39 after breaking it 16:47 on Saturday big summer training now. Best of luck for the ASICS 10k!!
going through some of your vids on a lazy week off work and some of this is peak entertainment, especially when there's a little competitive edge. looking forward to some more big pbs from you
I would love a top 10 one day. I have came 11th at my local parkrun so fingers crossed. Came 3rd in my age category too which makes me super proud. Just love parkrun and the friendly atmosphere too. Amazing vibes.
Ben thank you for your positive encouragement of participation in parkrun. I laugh when I see other running club events call 5K a "funrun". For high volume runners, yes it would be. For many 5K is a challenge but fun. My home parkrun record was reset last week at 15:01. I'm an older mid pack plodder and I love parkrun. So many inspirational stories come out of parkrun Australia as I'm sure it does from other countries too. Thank you for your time and efforts in putting up inspirational videos. 👍👍
Hi Ben! Great time out. Glad to see that you still pushed on like that even though there was a deep competitor like someone in front . Well done to Mohammed.
I’ve said some impolite comments but you are inspiring. You’re lucky to have park runs. U have no idea. I won the first race in my area this year yesterday! Good run brother man
Hi Ben. Are the Vaga hats good at keeping the rain off glasses? I wear glasses and can’t use contacts, so bit of a nightmare running in the rain. Cheers.
You don't need to be juiced to run low 15s, some even break 15 in highschool, elites are probably all juiced tho but 15:x is anything but elite so it's unreasonable to say a male adult with the adequate distance runner physique is geared just because of that
@@BenIsRunning .....But still put it in when editing ;) You're welcome. I hope you are inspired by the first finisher. I reckon you could give him a run for his money without talking into a camera. Well done.

Thank you mubarak! To run and volunteer, that’s some commitment 🙌🏻
We need more from the mysterious Mo! Rematch!! Great vlog, thanks Ben 👍🏼👍🏼
I’d certainly be up for a round 2. Proper warmup and a few less pints the night before and i reckon I’d be able to keep up for at least 3/4 kms 😂
Well done, Ben. Captured the parkrun spirit perfectly. After a few weeks away from my local parkrun I'm looking forward to going back there on Saturday and catching up with everyone :)
Thanks dean! Hope you enjoy your return :)
@@BenIsRunning thanks!

He’s some talent! I’ll add that to the list, heard it’s very picturesque

I know! I bow down to the new king, hope he starts a TH-cam channel so we can have a vlog off ;)

Lovely thank you! Yes, - pleasure to be smoked by the local talent
That guy looked ridiculously fast. I run about a minute per km slower than him, but it's improving. I hope to some day beat the 20 minute mark.
Keep at it mate! Sub 20 was my first goal when I got into parkruns 3 years ago :)
Me too! That is my goal this year.
I have ran Victoria Park a few times. Mohammed makes you feel as though you are walking….
Sub 20 is my dream. 21.30 atm so need to keep pushing.
Wow, 15:14!m for the winner!! Course looks fast but having to pass people on the way to that time as well is just unreal!
His form looked stellar too.
It actually was fairly undulating which made it even more impressive!
@@yellowfolder stride length was HUGE
This encapsulates your mantra, as ParkRuns are a personal and community thing all rolled into one.
It certainly did and just reminded me why I run!!
Ben, quality video as always. Keep doing the park runs. Park run tourism is the best. It’s a great community and you never know who might turn up!
It certainly is rob! I’ll keep them coming :)
The winner literally looked effortless. Like he had a few more gears to go through . Ridiculous levels
He certainly did!!

Great running josh! A hungover parkrun never hurt anyone…saying that my heart was about 10 beats higher than normal 😂

Your face when he flew off like that. 😂 Great video, that's a crazy time.
I was shocked to say the least 😂 he must’ve ran a 2:50 first km
I would love a top 10 one day. I have came 11th at my local parkrun so fingers crossed. Came 3rd in my age category too which makes me super proud. Just love parkrun and the friendly atmosphere too. Amazing vibes.
I’m sure you’ll get it if you stay consistent with your training. All the best with that goal!!
@@BenIsRunning thanks mate. Love your content and all you youtubers are doing an amazing job helping us get better. 🙌😉
Wow the winner was insane! Well Done in your 2nd place too.
Thanks AL
Great video mate, these sub 15 runners are bonkers! 😉
Different gravy

Nice one Ben! Great video 😎 Massive parkrun fan also, definitely would like to get some parkrun tourism vlogged for the channel!
It’s such great fun and you feel like your at home even if your miles from you local
Underrated channel! ❤
Great run Ben well done mate I'll have to try 4pints before my next 5k 😂
Next top tip video ;)
Hi Ben! Great time out. Glad to see that you still pushed on like that even though there was a deep competitor like someone in front . Well done to Mohammed.
I’ve said some impolite comments but you are inspiring.
You’re lucky to have park runs.
U have no idea.
I won the first race in my area this year yesterday!
Good run brother man
Appreciate your support. Not so much your other comments but apology accepted
The 1 day I don’t come to the parkrun Ben goes to the parkrun
Unlucky 😂
There is always somebody who is faster 😄. But don't give up, over time this people are getting less 💪😉
Unless your usain bolt :) thank you buddy
When is Cambridge Storey's Field? Usually attracts a strong field.
Is it a good one?
Great video Ben. What happened to I'm going to take it easy 😁🏃
Can’t be helped sometimes 😂
Great running Ben
when will Ben return to go for the revenge run and crush Mo? hahahaha, maybe after the next training cycle and then break 15 minutes!!!!
Ooohhhh that sounds like a challenge
Hi Ben. Are the Vaga hats good at keeping the rain off glasses? I wear glasses and can’t use contacts, so bit of a nightmare running in the rain. Cheers.
We picked a different thumbnail
Learning it’s not always which looks the best, but which is more eye catching on the browse/home feature :)
Well done
Thanks 🙏
You definitely inspire to run ! Well done 👏🏻
Any particular reason as to why you choose the Metaspeed Sky+ for a 5K run ?
Thank you! Ran my pb in them for 5km so they just work well for me :)
Mohammed Hussein has now got a new course PB...14:58.
2:46 was that the smash bros countdown?
Mayyyyyybe 😂
When the guys got an African accent you ain't catching him
First didn't get smoked on a first comment hell no
Of course you didn’t 🥇
@@BenIsRunning 😁
22k at 3.30 pace wtf mate
😂
I do a 19.53
Thumbnail? From Instagram 😂
Trying something new :)
😎👍🙌🤞
I think the winner was juiced to the gills 💉🤣
For sure! Never experienced that at a parkrun 😂
You don't need to be juiced to run low 15s, some even break 15 in highschool, elites are probably all juiced tho but 15:x is anything but elite so it's unreasonable to say a male adult with the adequate distance runner physique is geared just because of that
If you had to choose one shoe for the rest of your life what would it be.
Saucony speed 3 at this current moment
51 - 16 = 35. Not 15 to 20. Just saying. ;)
I didn’t no the official results at the time but thank you for the maths lesson :)
@@BenIsRunning .....But still put it in when editing ;) You're welcome. I hope you are inspired by the first finisher. I reckon you could give him a run for his money without talking into a camera. Well done.
Fun at parties springs to mind lol
@@DG-nn8zt The guy disappeared so it was obvious he wasn't 15s in front. Get back to us when your channel has some content :)
