Ben! This is gold! Great tips and advice for runners of all abilities- For a national champion runner like you to be able to relate to all of us ‘casual runners’ is impressive. Great video!
Hey Ben, I absolutely killed my marathon last Sunday, AND I thought of you as I followed your advice about swishing water and that worked a treat!! It was sooooo cold with many sections of nasty winds where my hips felt like they froze up, and 700+m gain (2300+ft), but I still managed only 3min off my marathon PB!!!!💪🏻🏃🏻♀🏅💪🏻 I never realised I had so much capacity for suffering!!😂😂 Thanks for the tips!!! 😃🏃🏻♀🙋🏻♀
Bev!!!! I'm so proud of you! I expected much but that is really next level! I'm glad you found joy suffering through the cold and the elevation (thanks for converting to feet lol) and I'm super jealous as that sounds like way too much fun. I hope you can thaw out and celebrate with some Sara Lee before your spring ultra and maybe next year for your marathon you will consider the heat and humidity and fake castles of Disney haha!
@@bensathre OHHH MERCI BEAUCOUP Ben🙏🏻, that's so sweet AND encouraging too!!! Can't say it was "fun" per se, I didn't manage to smile much, especially compared to the last one which was only 8 weeks before where I smiled the entire way!! But I do LOVE the feeling of how strong I'm getting, especially mentally!!! No Sara Lee here in France but of course plenty of super yummy French viennoiseries, you can imagine!!!😋😋 Next up a 24k trail in 2 weeks in the same area!!! 💪🏻🏃🏻♀💪🏻
@bev9708 Merci! Dat ass super flott. Thank you for being so supportive of me and my attempt to make TH-cam videos as well. I really appreciate it. I really hope your next races go well and I hope you enjoy the Magic of the Paris 2024 Olympics when they come to your city. I wish so much I could be there. Also I know there is no Sara Lee in France (laughing emoji)!! I was making a joke.
The fact that you took time out of your day to leave a comment (which helps the algorithm promote my video) means the world to me. Thanks for supporting my work, I appreciate it! I hope you have a great racing season this year!!
Hi Ben, It's good to find another runner sharing his experience, and I've subbed accordingly. I just want to mention that when you're making videos about running, it's good to avoid risking tarnishing the sport with the "type" of commentary you've used here, such as "how to cheat" and "injecting" yourself. I know what you're trying to say and do, but you could do it with a better approach, particularly with the level you reached. If you never really cheated, don't raise suspicion for the sake of a bit of clickbait. Hope this helps.
Hi Prentis, I genuinely appreciate the feedback. And I knew at some point eventually someone would say this. The reason I'm copying the style of Casey Neistat and using "clickbait" titles though is because it works. I had 26 subscribers and 1000 total views on my channel a month ago. I'm genuinely trying to be helpful to people, but if I had titled this "6 ways to improve your running in 2024" would you have clicked? Would anyone have clicked? But if you have a better suggestion of a title that will still get clicks, I'm all ears. Anyway, thanks for the sub, and I'll give you a sub back. The main reason I joined TH-cam to make videos was to meet people and make friends in the running community. So thanks for reaching out, I appreciate it. Maybe some day we can connect in person at a race or something.
@@bensathre This is a very interesting discussion, 'cause I must say my very first reaction when I read the title on my feed was to raise my eyes condescendingly and keep scrolling, but then a little later, something made me scroll back to it thinking I'll just give it a few seconds to see if it's as bad as it sounds!! It was the quality of what you then talked about DESPITE the awful title that made me wanna subscribe and check out more from your channel. Yeah I can only imagine it's REALLY hard to know what to do to get noticed on youtube!!🤷🏻♀ For me personally, it's usually people doing challenges that then inspire me to do the same OR something kinda similar at my own level!!
you forgot music. Some studies have shown 4-7% performance improvement when listening to "motivating" music. For me it's stuff like Blue Monday by Joy Division, or anything from ArnoCorps.
@@bensathre did you find the actual scientific study? It's pretty interesting. Makes me want races to allow headphones! Maybe bone conduction ones are legal?
I'm definitely a believer in taking advantage of the placebo effect AND smiling too!! And thanks so much for that tip about swishing liquids, that's a new one for me and very handy with my next marathon only a week away!! 🎉🥂HAPPY NEW YEAR Ben!🥂🎉
@@bensathre THANKS!! No no I live just outside Paris and each year the first marathon in France is at a small town south-west of the city ... fields, forests, and real castles, not Disney ones!!😂 It's a hilly one I'm doing as a training long run for my second ever 50k trail ultra in April... start the year off on the right "foot"!!😁
oh my gosh that sounds even better!! I hope both your races go well! Feel free to connect on instagram or whatsapp or facebook messenger if you want to stay in touch! I've never had a friend from Paris before!
great video man, im right now having a off season from running to build more strenght, looking forward to getting into marathon PB shape in spring. Late happy new year too
Its obnoxious that you are lucky the algorithm pushed this video. I am very jealous and insecure type so I am going to make a negative and hurtful comment to make myself feel better. This video sucks! Unfortunately, I am not smart enough to realize that each comment pushes the video even more since the algorithm counts comments as reasons to push video. DAMN IT!
Well, this video helped at least one passionate runner to an outstanding performance (for me) in her marathon last Sunday, so WELL worth it!!!! Thanks for your help getting it out to others like me!!🙋🏻♀
Funny, everyone Totally Forgot that Kuiru (Finland) used a carbon plate 15 YEARS before NiKE ever thought about it! The Fulcum carbon plate based on their dats improved 3% or so in 2003-2004 It’s just history recycling because History is so ignored. Just go back to Scandanivia and close to 2 decades for the $150 price back then!
@@bensathre unfortunately no one pays attention to things they really should and just focuses on small stuff. In 2017 when the Razor controversy started NiKE was also being sued for drug use. So it was magically intensified. I remembered right away and wondered where the mass media would not know this just happened! I was thinking Duh! Read history…
@@bensathre I'm one of those people where songs just always starting playing in my head when I hear certain things, and I have to say the next lines out loud lol. I figured yours was intentional, so I had to make you feel vindicated for your efforts.
Thanks Nick! I genuinely appreciate that you noticed. So much YT content is too moist and relatable so I figured I could stand out by doing something different. If you can find me on insta or facebook that allow DMs, I'd love to mail a copy of Self Made Olympian to you for being supportive. I promise if you are into running, you will love Ron Daw's book.

This might actually be the single worst and least informative video on running I've ever seen...
I'm 3 minutes in... Wish me luck...
I made it to 4:30. Thats all i could manage. Byeeeee
Thanks you saved me going beyond 1:46
Dude!! I've got an even worse one coming later this week!! Stay tuned.
The fact that you took time out of your day to leave a comment (which helps the algorithm promote my video) means the world to me. Thanks for supporting my work, I appreciate it! I hope you have a great racing season this year!!
If New Caledonia or similar need a barely 3hr marathon guy for the Olympics then I'll happily swap countries.
Hey it never hurts to reach out! I went through a lot of rejection before Lithuania (or was it Liechtenstein??) welcomed me.

Leave it to Tommy Rivs!! Love that guy!! Cool tips... except the shots in the butt, maybe I'll try a sugar pill instead. 😂
Yo man good channel, the vids are good but the audio could be a bit better maybe ? keep at it we like the vids !
Thanks buddy, I'm new and I've got a lot to learn. I'll keep working on the audio.
great video man, im right now having a off season from running to build more strenght, looking forward to getting into marathon PB shape in spring. Late happy new year too
Thank you, I appreciate the comment! Good luck with your off season and hitting a PB this spring!

I could probably make an entire video about the process, but yes, I do have family there. I'm half Lëtzebuerger.

Nice Video Bro!
Thank you Sam! Thanks for saying that! I appreciate your support and feedback on all of my videos!
Great advice
@@MAOLALAIDH well I didn't pay attention to that one at all lol. The other advice is informative.
You know nothing about running
You mad???? I thought that you'd be happy I made it.
@@bensathre I am furious
@@bensathreI think I saw you by the bar, toasting to the good life. Lean2281's that jealous running kid trying to pull you back riiiiight
