funny enough I had my SLOWEST run of the summer today. Left early after having preworkout (instead of coffee) and about a mile and a half in had the worst stomach cramps of my life. Bolted for the house and proceeded to lay down an absolute log. I tried to go back out after but the was crazy aftershock...
For running a 5k, plus the other stuff you said had happened at the beginning of the video, I think you can for sure break 4 minutes in the 1500m, if you came in fresh and more prepared with some more of the speed kind of workouts for even just 2 weeks or something like that. You almost got 2nd in the 1500m, after winning the 5k in 15:41 on the same day, keep up the amazing work Ben! I've broken 5 minutes in the 1500m, now I'm going to see if this year I can break 5 minutes in the mile :D Wish me luck.
Thanks bud. I reckon I’ve got it on me yes but at the same time in no rush. Looking ahead at the marathon in the later stages of the year so happy to have ticked that speed box before transitioning back up the distances. Maybe I’ll have one last crack, if not I’ll get it next year 🤞🏻
Congratulations on 100K subscribers, it just shows the incredible value to you provide to the running community and how we are inspired by your efforts / journey! Been running alongside you for 3 years now and have been grateful to even say hello a few times. Thank you Ben
Well done !! Can't beat getting points for your Club. I competed at NAL on Sunday. Got the W in 3000m A and 1500m A races with a PB to boot 😃 and 1st in 800m B race running with people less than half my age so kudos to your clubmate Paul as well 😅
@@BenIsRunning Genuinely anything, just two of my favourite fitness creators, both English, I'm sure the humour will be off the charts. Mark might also need some help with his running :> (thinking of his 9 year old parkrunner video), maybe you guys could blend his "above average" mentality, with your competitive running to help people improve on their running in that in between.
I have had some of my best squat sessions (training powerlifting) when I've been tired with like 3-4h of sleep. deadlifts on the other hand have many times been just horrible when tired.. Thanks for this great video and congrats for the 100k milestone! : )
Where I live, points are scored based on your result as a time (track) or distance (field), and your age category is also factored in (u18, u20, open, 40+, etc). So an u18 runner finishing just behind an open runner can still earn more points.
100K!!!! Well done man, I can see all the effort you put in these videos. Really appreciate it. And congrats as well on the 1500M pb! Cheers from the Netherlands 😎
Good too see you on the track more, my favourite videos from ur channel where the ones from the Watford Wednesday series back in the day. I’m currently an u17 and I’m aiming for sub 4 by the end of the season. Currently at 4:03 so hoping for the best. Love the vids
Here's a tip to break 4 for the 1500. 4 sessions of (3 x 400m x 3 sessions) at 63, 62, then 61 seconds with 4 mins break. To develop the neuromuscular adaptation to complete the first 3 laps in around 3.15 in comfort, then gut out the last 300m in 45 or better.
Congrats on 100k subs Ben! 🎉 I’ve been a sub from the beginning of your channel and love your content. You are truly inspiring. Keep up the great work 🙂🤙
Just watched the James Dunne breakdown video was really cool to see the difference and similarities in forms on different paces! Keep up the grind brother 👍
You learn something new every day....I thought Gillingham was pronounced G(J)illing ham? 🤔 New vid needed on optimal tapering.....camping and night on the piss 🤣👊🦾🏃💛💚🤍
Hi, I have a question about Insta360GO 3. What mode do U use, freeframe in 1440, or Video in 2.7k? Do U have problems when U using the clip on head mount with orientation: On each recording it keeps deciding what it wants to do itself - either record horizontally in 16:9 which I want, or keep the aspect ratio recording horizontally in 16:9 BUT actually record vertically in 9:16 within the 16:9 aspect ratio. Any ideas?
Is the armband you wear on your left arm easier to wear than the one around your chest? and why do you wear it around your arm instead aroiund your chest ,? Inga DK.
honestly what I would doat this point is just do the 1500 nd 3k split and just do 100 mile weeks which you can do with ease and just infinite threshold it like jakob ingebregsten and then go into the next olympics after paris
It's funny, that you are so "nerdie" about your accumulated data of your body and track it before the events, but didn't know which race distance you would run😂
Having a boozy night of camping takes the pressure off, because if you do badly, you can just blame it on the Carling. Gives Ben the freedom to do his thing. Is the armband you wear a Coros HR monitor? Are you happy with it?
Exactly. I didn’t feel too special but after the warm up I knew I could get a decent run out. Very good yes, just as accurate as a chest strap but much more comfortable
I really want that scale, but i found a code that is 20 percent off instead of your 15% off code. I want to support your channel but it puts me in a mess.
4:37 "used to play footbal as a KID, and sometimes when I turned up having had a FEW BEERS the night before..."
Britons are built different
Had my longest ever run today! Trying to get fit after motorcycle accident, and did 2.4km today!
Nice work, keep up the training 🙌🏻
Let’s go bro💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽. Inspiring stuff keep going

Sorry to hear that but thats what you get for skipping the coffee aha! I can't leave the house without it :)
@@BenIsRunning yeah it was brand new routine for me so a oretty bad idea. You are goated for replying to that lol
@@MattPlays96gotta get that coffee to wash your self out before a run 😂
Thanks for sharing
Best logs in the comments
Congrats on 100k Ben, keep it up!!
Thanks Jordan! Hope your well 🫡
First, I thought he ran an ultra with 100K distance :D ...but anyway, keep it up! :)

Congrats on 100k Ben, been lurking since about 5k and it’s been great watching you grow into one of the biggest in this corner of TH-cam

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BEN! Congratulations on 100k!!! Wish i could meet you one day!!!🎉
Thank you, appreciate it
You gave your all in the 1500M, but that was less than an hour after running the 5K. Impressive! Go Chelmsford!
Need a rematch against that Norwich guy at the next SAL meeting next month for sure with how close that finish was ..
I agree!
100K! I subscribed March 2023 no idea how many subs the channel had back then. It has definitely exploded since. Congrats Ben!
Your running form is so inspirational and such a good reminder for me of how to keep my body in alignment when running!
Appreciate that, thank you!
Would love to see you colab with Mark Lewis!
What would you like to see us do?

You are a class runner Ben 👍🏻
4:01 forty minutes after. 15min 5km is other worldly! 👏
great running and congrats on 100K Ben !
for some reason this "double commentary" really has its charm, don't think any other videos have these haha
Great to see you at my local track!
CONGRATS BENN!! on hitting 100k 🤩🤩
congrats on 100k!!
100k subs and still performing. Nice job Ben !

Oh nice one! Hope you can get it it this season!
Great job in that race,and loved the voiceover. For a non runner like me also extra helpful so I know a little bit what’s going on.
Appreciate the feedback :)
PB and 100K Subs!!! 🎉🎉🎉
100k!!! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Good stuff Ben. I have fond memories of that track, making my masters 800m PB (2:07) after many years break. Never came close since 😊
I certainly was a nice track! Felt fairly sheltered too as was very windy on the warm up
Cheers for 100k Subs.
3:59:99 for your club mate. Great stuff 👍
Indeed, at 45 🤯
Brilliant running Ben . Absolutely well done ... 🎉, u must be so happy with them races ✅⭐💪
Thanks Laura, I certainly was :)

Any time a runner says they “aren’t feeling great” prior to a race, prepare for a PB
😂😂
literally said that last week before running a 5k pb 😅
Why is that? I got my pb when I wasn’t really feeling it
Congrats on 100k subs Ben! 🎉
I’ve been a sub from the beginning of your channel and love your content. You are truly inspiring. Keep up the great work 🙂🤙
Thanks so much! Appreciate you following along
It would be awesome if we could hear your thoughts regarding Jacob performance in the 2024 Paris Olympic games
Just watched the James Dunne breakdown video was really cool to see the difference and similarities in forms on different paces! Keep up the grind brother 👍
Yeah i found it fascinating too! Thanks mate
You're a beast
My 1500m pb is 4:03.72 and you just broke it after a 5000m race😮
congrats on 100k Ben! Nice PB too.
Thanks Ben, good video.
I also bought Hume's device and got a discount thanks to you again 💪💪
Hope you enjoy it!
Congrats on the 100k subscribers!
Wild that you were at Medway Park track, I work just down the road from there!
Lovely track!
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! 🎉🎉

Hey! I just noticed you hit 100K! Well done Ben! I think you only had between 10k and 15k when I subbed up. Amazing how much has changed since then!
Legend! Thanks mate
Yeesssss! And 100k to boot.
When will there be a second review of the Nimbus 26?
Well done Ben! 👏
grats on 100k & the PB! great video

Congrats on 100k 🎉🎉🎉

Love the Nike shirt m8
How is Ben on 100k I swear he was on 15k last week
Time flies man

Great video well done! Although not quite sure on your pronunciation of Gillingham 🤣
Should be spelt Jillingham if you ask me ;)
Just goes to prove that dont need all this science stuff just need some more beer's 😂❤
ahah! Beers=PB's but I'd probably recommend post race rather than pre :)
Great stuff Ben! Its pronounced Jillingham by the way 👍
Great running again Ben,how did the Boston trip go.?🏃
Thanks Tommy, very well! Video from that trip will be out next week :)
Surely time to get your revenge on the Stour Valley Path Ultra? SVP100 for 100k subs😉
Ohhhh that sounds like a great idea! Maybe when I’m in my 30’s :)
Very well done
Thanks John
Congratulations on the hundo! 🎉
Cheers Josh
great video Ben! just for future reference Gillingham is pronounced as “Jillingham”! :)
Thanks for the tip!
Finally a distance where I might be able to beat you st
Always up for a race pingu ;)
Legend Ben! Ps we have the same initials 😅😁🙌 Børge Finsæther - BF 👌

😂😂 that simple
It's funny, that you are so "nerdie" about your accumulated data of your body and track it before the events, but didn't know which race distance you would run😂
Do you think your left arm is much more muscled (according to the app) because you're always holding the camera with that one ? 😂
Aha, yes! Something like that
Should have marked names on the tires and whose ever tire traveled the furthest wins a prize.
4:01 for 1500m ???
Having a boozy night of camping takes the pressure off, because if you do badly, you can just blame it on the Carling. Gives Ben the freedom to do his thing.
Is the armband you wear a Coros HR monitor? Are you happy with it?
Exactly. I didn’t feel too special but after the warm up I knew I could get a decent run out. Very good yes, just as accurate as a chest strap but much more comfortable
Running a 1500 after a 5k. That’s a tough ask
Thankfully the 5000m wasn't super fast at this one or id have been cooked.
Love the content Ben, but that pronunciation of 'Gillingham' is an absolute hate crime 😂
😂
I really want that scale, but i found a code that is 20 percent off instead of your 15% off code. I want to support your channel but it puts me in a mess.
hate to be a pedant, but it's:
- I ran
- I have *run* (not ran)
your title should be "The FASTEST Race I've EVER Run"
Aha thanks, will get it changed :) Always appreciate feedback!
@@BenIsRunning ah thanks, that's an unexpected reply. keep up the good work Ben!
Catholic school?
First
Boosh
Inhuman
Gillingham with a soft G
Those analyzers are so unprecise. Comparing that thing with a scan is BS. Great race tho
Only the best people are from Chelmsford 🫡🙌 Keep smashing it Ben
Congrats on 100k!
Thank you!
