No way!! I made it into the video. I'm the boy in blue who crossed the line just right before the first lady. I started running around 1 year ago, taking your videos as an inspiration. And last week I made my debut in a HM with 1h14 + met Ben + made it into the video. Best day ever!! Ty so much ❤
damn, 74 after just a year is wild, congrats
@@YaBoiTom_ Thanks buddy! I think I'm not even aware of how impressive this is. My first run in January 2023 was a 3k after which I vomited. It's really been a journey, with obviously lots and lots of work, but certainly some degree of luck for which I'm extremely thankful. Eager to see what's next
@@presidente_carloscan you help me? i started running 11 month ago ,but my progress is stuck ,not even sub 20 for 5k ,so what can i do to increase my progress? should i added more easy runs? because my weekly program mostly doing speed workouts
well done, you are fast as heck
@@ilhamchan9251 Sure. I have had 4 goals through the year: sub 22:30 for the 5k, sub 40 for the 10k, sub 35 for the 10k and sub 1h15 for the half. My training for the first two blocks was 5-6 days a week as follow: M Easy Run (10-11k), T Treshold Run (4k WU + 4x2000 at HM pace or slower w 200m recovery jog + 2k CD), W Easy Run (10-11k), T rest (I would do some plyometric exercises here for 40mins), F Long Run Easy (18-23k), Saturday Gym (Heavy lifts) + Recovery Run (6-7k veery easy), Sunday Speed Work (4k WU + 6x250 + 6x200 + 6x100 (all out with 90-60-30s rest) + 2k CD.
So as you see, lots of miles for someone my level at the time but little intensity, importance of strength exercises and completely avoided the grey area. Hope this helps!
Ran bath half too with 43 mins shaved off in 5 months! Great race, really well supported and bar that awful hill it was a fast course
Great job! Yeah for one of the hilliest cities I've visited they did well to avoid most :)
how can u vlog and talk at that pace 😂 thats not legal 😂
I can’t even run sub 05:00/km, that’s so impressive
ay up harry palmer at the finish
what a coincidence finishing next to Harry !!!
Well done to you both and great vid, Ben! Massive running inspiration! What happened to the ‘Run It Three Ways’ pod, though? Need’em for my runs 😅
Wow bots were fast af
1 hour 8 mins is a dream time haha, such a crazy pace. Well done Ben
Thank you :)
Well done Ben and Ellie, and happy birthday!!
Gosh, your lil sis appears to have shed loads of weight since her running journey started (in a positive way). Looking healthier.
Cracking vid Ben
Great vlog Ben! Bath half was my first half marathon after 6 long months of training. Managed a 1:53 time 😅 absolutely chuffed and can’t wait to book the next one! Keep the videos coming
Hey Ben, congrats on your half marathon, and happy birthday to your sister! 🥳
Do you have any tips for longruns with intervalls or like faster splits in it? Do you recommend for example splitting the long run into 3, and have a easy, a «mid» tempo part and a half marathon/marathon-pace part?
I thought the guy you fist bumped was Ed Miliband at first
Good run Ben, your body will always put you right!
What was the app tracker used?? That would be so handy!
Both of you done perfectly so happy birthday 🎂 🎂 to her and Well down 🙌👍
Birthday cake is the secret to success :)
Quality vid Ben! Proper old school vlog from you, well ran!
Bath is a beautiful place and the HM looked like it was a great event. Definitely one I might look at for next year. Good running mate especially mid marathon block 🤌
Yeah, certainly one I'd do again. Very competitive especially for a UK half.
@@BenIsRunning yeah looked like a decent group running at your pace. I'm a 1:26 HM so a long way off but maybe a decent number running that pace there too.
The best TH-camr you deserve alot more subscribers
Your sister is awesome!
Racing a Pro Triathlete I see Ben 🙌 th-cam.com/video/WBStukfz6ME/w-d-xo.html @Harry-Palmer .. Well done you smashed that 👍
I was surprised to see him at the finish i can't lie, watched his channel for a number of years!
@@BenIsRunning Harry so down to earth 💯
68 would’ve won my half on Sunday.. Quite the effort!
Ben, it looked like you were wearing the Metaspeed Sky Paris in the Bath Half. How did they feel for the race? Would you use it again in your next half or full marathon?
How did you not make a bathroom joke for your American supporters at the hotel? Step it up Ben!
@Ben Where can I find that shoe cabinet??
Do you believe in the size up gimmic for running shoes? I always seem to get blisters around the ball of my foot and wondered what you do
Hey Ben
Good job, hoping to give a fist bump at the start line for Copenhagen.
Was wondering about the new SOAR race gear you had on. Whats your Recommendation worth the money or is the normal race gear fine ?
Ken
Were you wearing the Sky Paris and if so how did they perform for you on the day?
How can you hold a camera when running? Impressive
Could you share some thoughts on the new singlet? Is it better than the previous one? Both are hella expensive but I'm actually considering the latest. Some thoughts on the half tights would be nice too.
Whoop woo! Discount code used #teamvaga here we come 💪 thanks Ben
1:08 is crazy 🤯
The fastest guy at our club does 1:20 and he's absolutely flying I can't imagine how fast this must be.
Great time! Congrats. So it’s the metaspeed sky your shoe for Copenhagen after this test?
Pretty incredible time Ben. Love seeing your family take on races too. Looks like Bath was quite a haul from where you live... Also pretty amazing how many sub 1.10 runners there were. Usually the races here only get a handful of them... But we are at higher altitude. As always love your dedication to the sport and you make running fast look effortless. Keep it up.
“Not a bad effort”… 1.08 after your injury… that’s gotta be understatement of the century! 👏👏👏
Love the term 'free hit' when you're talking about race plan. Congratulations to both of you on a solid race!
Well done. Did I see Harry Palmer at the end?
Indeed you did :)
Mixing it up with the pro-triathletes…👊
Great vlog and running Ben. I ran Bath too. It's a great race, tho the hill at the end is a killer!
Happy birthday Ellie and well done, both of you😊
What jacket is Ellie wearing at the 8:59 mark?
Be funny to see you in one of the front starting pens dressed as a banana or some other costume
Ben.. how do you carry with you the camera?
Awesome tune up man! I was wondering if you actually run with an action camera? Doesn’t look like you are carrying anything in most of the race clips. Cheers!
I run with a very small camera that fits in the palm of my hand :) insta360 go 3- if your interested
Nice to see Meg ..she is a crush man ❤❤❤
You Both did great, it's so nice to do it will the family ❤, thank you another great video 👊🏾
A nice way to celebrate a birthday :)
Great running. Well done.
You looked pretty strong!
Great Vlog Ben its always a treat to see how your progressing, Thanks for taking the time to put this together and upload it. Upward & Onward!
Way to go Ellie!!
Great job! Awesome race!
Bravo champion 🎉
i know that i shouldn't compare myself but ben you are so freaking good today i have done Mas test and i was able to 3:25/km pace for only 6min and you run HM at 3:16 it,s justtttt amzingly incredible
congrats to you and your sister and HB !!!!!
Great work lad 🤙🏻
Great job and happy birthday!
Saludos desde mexico 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Well done mate, Bath HM looks like a well supported race. Hope you've recovered well over this week!
Yeah it was a great atmosphere throughout! Being a 2 lap course meant that the spectators were less spread out.
Great video as always! Great to see some of my footage there too 😀 good to meet you at the end for a moment too Ben
Great efforts guys! 👌💪🙌
Well done to you both! How were the shoes?
Very good, potential contenders for Copenhagen :)
Does this type of competition cost to enter ? And how much ?
It does yes. Races of this organisation roughly cost between £20-50
I think it cost me about £50 two years ago
3:15min/km thats crazy. Ive started running few months ago and 4 min/km for 5k is difficult for me
First
Bots beat you I fear
Well done
🙌
Amazing running and the fact you run with the camera with that time is amazing!
