I'm so impressed that he managed to run well under 2:30 considering how things were, but yes it's not "good enough" for him and not what he trained for!
Great running Ben, well done. 😀 These injuries when they appear just before events are so cruel. Hopefully not be too long recovering, good luck with your next one. They soon come around again.
There's never a good time to get niggles/injuries but as you say, just before an event is really frustrating! Thanks for watching and yes he's got his eyes set on a couple marathons next year!
Nice work on the video, Chloe! And kudos to Ben for the game effort. Two minutes off a PB might as well be two seconds. As you said, the fitness is there. I hope you're both recovering well from the big day.😆And it's great to hear that your 10k training is going according to plan.
Thank you!! Considering that we were so close to cancelling the trip, it was a relief that he made it to the finish line but definitely not in the time he had trained for. That's the risk with marathon training, a niggle can really crash the party. Hopefully he'll put the fitness to good use in a Spring marathon!
Great insight into this beautiful marathon! Celebrate 02:26 for Ben, it's a great achievement🇪🇸🏅 Thank you for sharing Chloe 😊
Thanks for watching! Yes it's a great finish time, and one I can only dream of 😆 but slightly short of Ben's goal for this race!
@@ChloeHamard haha lol! Same, struggling for BQ atm!
So close. Still a rapid time, but I'm sure that's not much consolation. Come back stronger, Ben 👍🏃♂️

Great video Chloe. Ben will come back stronger. 2025 will be the best year for you both 🙂
Thank you for watching and the kind words!
Sorry it wasn't Ben's day. He's a class runner and will come back strong.
He sure will, fingers crossed he can be back running pain free soon!
Almost thought you meant Ben Felton 😂😂 (Benisrunning)
😂 😂 can't have too many Ben's in the running world!
