Hero!!!!!!!!!!! ☝️ You come across like the nicest gent ever. I seriously love it when you put a video out. The yawn really made me laugh 🤣 Good luck with the run top man.
Good luck Ben!!!!! Sure you will sash it and even if you dont get your goal you know how much faster and stronger you are from the training! Love the sound effects too theyre hilarios! Good luck!
Loving the vlog! Good luck on Sunday! I’ve done Moscow marathon last weekend and then I’m going to Athens on November 10ths. Hope to run Berlin one day
I studied abroad in Berlin a few summers ago and absolutely loved it, so the Berlin Marathon is definitely on my running bucket list! I have really enjoyed watching your training, and it has helped keep me motivated as I train for my second marathon and a BQ attempt in December. Good luck, you’ll crush it!!
Ben Parkes what did you eat saterday for lunch? Did you bring a lunch from home like the bagels for breakfast? Does your hotel offer pasta for lunch or did you wander around Berlin in search for an italian restaurant, like I did 😅
Been following you for the last couple months and following your workouts! Just PR'd my half marathon time yesterday at the Akron Marathon in Ohio, US. Ran a 1:28:50! Can't wait to get that further down next year, and prepping for my second full next month! Thanks for your help!
Good luck Ben! I’ll be rooting for you on Sunday!! Also, it’s cool to see my name appear on your videos and I’m happy see that the Patreon list is growing! 🥰
I’m running the Ventura Marathon in California October 20. I’m hoping to break 3 hours and qualify for Boston in 2021. Your videos continue to keep my motivation high and inspire me! Thank you and best of luck on Sunday, Ben!!
I'm glad you did the German greeting---I thought you were going to miss it out! It makes me laugh. Best of luck Ben. I hope you really enjoy it. Run well!
I often get free boxes of New York Bakery cinnamon and raisin bagels as my mate works at the bakery as a manager. Also I've read the British marathon legends book. A great read and all the best for the race and hope you have a great race like I did today
11:32 don't think Sarah enjoyed you saying "Smash" super loud hahahah! All the best for the Half I know you'll smash it, I'm doing B half in 2 weeks time, hopefully first half I break 1:30
I hope you will get your PB tomorrow Ben! Thanks for all those wonderful videos, they really keep me motivated for running. I'll try my second half Marathon tomorrow in Ulm (my last one was 8 years ago and I stopped running for years, now I'm in training since may), and I just want to finish it :)
Hey Ben! I recognized your logo on your cap! and I shouted "Ben!" at 20km after "water station". I was so happy to see you at the "Berlin marathon" I am the volunteer at that crossing.
Hey Ben, was great meeting you in front of the Marathon Expo on Thursday and having a quick chat. Wish you all the best for your PB. I am trying to hit mine at 03:00hrs (ish)... as long as my hamstring doesn‘t annoy me too much... Cheers, Oliver
11:32...Sarah’s thinking: “aaaarghhh.. if you don’t stop talking I’ll smash your nose. Shut up little bast**d! 🤬” 🤣🤣🤣... have a good marathon on sunday Ben! Berlin is such a fast one...🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️👍🏼
Good luck Ben in the race, will be looking out for your number from not so sunny London. You mentioned you like to watch other runners 'whats in my bag' content, so when your not creating your own content, who do you like to watch? I love the stuff around gear. Once again good luck on Sunday.
I’ve got cross country races and then a 10k I’m training for in the winter, and then doing track in the spring!!! Hoping to go under 18 in a XC race I have tomorrow!!! Good luck to everyone else’s races!!!
Will keep my fingers crossed for you getting your Sub 2.20🤞😁! I did my first marathon in April and doing Royal Parks Half in couple of weeks. Your channel is very inspiring!
Hi mate with your black running caps I'm get little dents on the side of bottom of logo do you no any way can get rid of them?. I wash it cold water and dont touch logo area. Do you think maybe a steam iron. Thanks
No Berlin but I'm starting my autumn races Sunday with Redcar Half Marathon, hoping for 70min or less. Then got a slew of XC races, then my favourite race of the year, a flat 10miler called Brampton to Carlisle in Cumbria, UK and hoping for around 52min. Also got a 10k(hopefully finally break 33!) and maybe a 5k local. Good luck for Berlin Ben, also hope you don't take the go pro and focus on the race!
All the best for your races to James.. sounds like a action packed end of the year for you. I've never ran a XC race.. might have to slip a singlet on this year and give it a thrash through the mud!!
Can't believe you forgot your ID!! The merchandise had been restocked this morning 😀. Good luck on tomorrow , I'll keep an eye out for you, even though I'll be starting an hour after you!
Good luck Ben. Enjoy! I'm thinking of signing up to my next marathon soon. I make videos of my running adventures too, and your channel is great inspiration. Keep it up 👍
I did Berlin in 2015. Loved it! Got Chicago marathon in 2 weeks then New york marathon 3 weeks after that. Have done the double before and hated myself so not sure why I am doing it again! 😂... particularly when I live in Dubai so flying in and out of US twice...🤦♀️🤦♀️
Best of luck on your race, even though with all the training you've gone through, you 'll probably won't be needing any! It' s Athens Marathon for me on November 10. Cheers!
I got the gettingitdone hat few days ago..I’ve been wearing it to my run clubs..posting pics to my IG and Facebook..everybody is saying it’s a cool one..sorry not telling them yet where I got it🤪..I’m super excited with your Berlin Marathon..wish you luck Ben!My guess your time will be 2:19:36..go smashed it!
I hope whatever happened in the race isn’t anything serious. DNFs happen every once in awhile ... just got to roll with it! I’ve been enjoying the vlogs and hope they keep coming :). I am curious, as an occasional visitor to Berlin, which hotel you stayed in. Thanks for the vlogs!
Best of luck! 💪🏼Excited to hear how the race goes. I am on week 1 of your marathon training plan! Excited to run my first marathon in January 2020. I am creating content to share my journey on my channel 😊🎥
@@BenParkes it is an amazing race in the middle of art masterpieces, probably not the best for PBs since full or sharp corners and cobblestones in the city center.....and usually rainy too in late November! But I will get things done 😉 Good luck for sunday Ben, you deserve a PB!
Hi Ben I introduced myself to you today, my name is Mark. Good race to you tomorrow I wish you all the best, and as it turns out we were at the expo at the same time 🤙
I see you went for white bagels...in a recent video you had white toast... Are you purposefully avoiding wholemeal for running - less fibre/faster access to carb sugars etc - or is it just a taste preference?
So nice charming Video! Can feel your Motivation. With you best luck and weather for tomorrow. Guess today you cut off all social Media to focus on tomorrow. But maybe in the next Time you can Talk about your pacing strategy. You will smash your pb, Berlin is Flat like a plate ;-)
Ben Parkes what did you eat saterday for lunch? Did you bring a lunch from home like the bagels for breakfast? Does your hotel offer pasta for lunch or did you wander around Berlin in search for an italian restaurant, like I did 😅
Hi Ben. First time I saw your TH-cam. Sorry about that. Was looking to change may running shoes. Saw your review on the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2. Which would you recommend, the Adidas Ultraboost 19, Ultraboost or Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2 ? Hope the Berlin Experience was good for you.
i’m in berlin for the marathon too! have a good one!
Hero!!!!!!!!!!! ☝️

Good luck Ben! We wait for the video of the marathon
