You'll make an outstanding coach given the thoughtful way you approach things. Also hats off for the LDWA event and respecting the history of ultra running
Thanks both. Going to start coaching a couple of friends and friends of friends this year informally to build up some experience and then just see where it goes but really enjoying learning more about the sport at the moment and refining my knowledge. Hoping to put together a video with some of the history of the first LDWA 100 soon!
You did a great job with last year's goals, Ben. Nice work! 💪
So I hear you're switching from running to walking now. Joining the LDWA, mountain races... 😂 Just kidding mate, you're going from strength to strength. That 100k UTS will be brutal. Get yourself ready, and hopefully you get pleasant weather on the day 👍🏻🙂
Cheers Mark! Yes officially giving up running now to walk lots, more time to eat at events so I think it's the best option 😅 I'm hoping there's not a heatwave for the UTS event this year as there was last year!
Hey there, Ben! It's great to see your running journey in 2023 and your exciting goals for 2024. Running 100 miles in the South Downs Way and exploring the Greenwich Meridian trail were remarkable achievements. It's cool how you adapted your goals to focus on high-intensity and shorter races when needed. Wishing you all the best in your upcoming backyard Ultra, Mountain race, and coaching qualification! Keep enjoying those park runs too. Your dedication is inspiring! Best wishes dear friend!
Thanks so much Mihai. Really enjoyed last year with a lot of variety and new adventures to be had. Hoping for a good 2024. All the best for this year and hope you're keeping well
Ben a wonderful year and such a balanced view of running with variety and enjoyment - things that can get lost. Good luck for 24
Thanks Michael, really enjoyed 2023, lots of good times. Happy new year to you and hope to see you out on the trails at some point
Love hearing all your reflections and goals for this year Ben. Can wait to see what 2024 has in store for you 😀
Thanks so much Laura. All the best for 2024 😀
Wow major respect for doing the South Downs Way as an ultra marathon! 👏 Couldn’t catch me doing that haha 😅🥾
Thanks! It was a great event, and what a trail 👌
What an awesome year you had, and SO happy for you doing your first backyard ultra so soon to kick the year off, will look forward to it!! Today I ran my first road marathon of the year also to kick things off with a bang, only 3min off my PB despite the cold and wind and 700m of elevation gain, so I'm both thrilled and in that leg muscle pain we love so well!!😂 I even started it off with an accidental 5k PB!!😂 I blew all my goals out of the water last year.. 10k, 21k and 42k PBs and 6300km total!! SO I'm very excited to see what I can achieve next... I have my second ever trail 50k ultra start of April and another with 2300m+ in October !!! So will have to get myself some poles and get into some mountain training next summer!!
Thanks Bev. That sounds like an amazing 2023 you've had, congrats on all you've achieved. And well done on the marathon today too - a 5k PB in a marathon is some start 😅 Look forward to hearing about how you get on this year and building on a super year of running in 2023 👍
Great to see your videos back for 2024 and recap for 2023 buddy. Excited to follow your new journey in 2024 you’ll live the Backyard set up.. it’s addictive 😃😃 and humbling. Nice to see you heading into the mountains with your other half also 👍👍
Love the small scale independent support shout out
Thanks very much 👍 Yes looking forward to trying the backyard ultra out and seeing what that format is like. It may snow so that'll make it a fun one!
@@timeonfeet oo and as soon as your doing Ultra plans would I’ve to get some insight from you and a plan. I have my first 100 miler this year Robinhood 100
Good luck with the course.
@@ultrarunningdads1045 Happy to help where I can! I'm no expert and it's very early days for coaching for me but up for looking at any plan you've got and making suggestions
Yes Ben! What a superb 2023! You absolutely smashed it mate! Some huge goals achieved! I am most impressed by that 5k PB time that doesn't seem like much but we know that running fast is pretty damn hard. If I could get anywhere near that time I would be over the moon. Send me some info about the LDWA race mate that sounds great. 👍 I am working on something self supported that you might like to get involved in too but I will share some more details when I have it organised. 😎🤘
Cheers Ben! And thanks for all the support through the year, really helps with keeping motivated 👍 Will definitely let you know about the LDWA event, it sounds like it's more likely to be Surrey at the moment and in September but will pass on any info and be great if you're up for it too. Food at the aid stations is meant to be 👌from how a couple of friends who did it last year described it, sounded like fine dining, Michelin star 😅 Self supported idea sounds great, keep me posted, keen to be involved with more adventure running this year
You had a great year (2023) !.. good luck with the backyard ultra … it sounds like a pretty cool format. HNY
Thanks James! Happy new year to you too, looking forward to seeing what the backyard ultra is like 😀
I loved watching all your videos this year. It was so eventful! 🤓
Thanks so much Heather, happy new year 🎉
Some fab goals! Great seeing you at the run show! Looking forward to your video on mountain training! Good luck on the course!!
Thanks. Great to see you both this weekend and to meet in real life! Hope you had a good journey back and all the best for this year
Well done with a great year of running in 23 Ben. Good luck with the UTS, especially with little mountain training, I'm sure you'll figure some training out, even if it's stair repeats! 🏃♂
Thanks Martin, we've got a lot of stairs where we live so those may come in useful 😀 lots of hills too but not the kind that go on for long so some repeats may be needed! Happy new year
So impressive with your goals this year and last. Great video
Cheers Tim 👍
Great review of the year and some exciting plans for 2024! I love the mystique around the backyard ultras, so going to be interested to see what that is like. I'm focusing on a year of mainly self-supported runs, possibly a 100k in that. I hear what you're saying about the 'big' races. When i was triathloning (verb 😉) 10 years ago, there were so many small, local races you could do. Chilled weekends, cheap and cheerful. They've pretty much all gone now and its such a shame, especially for people who just want to quietly slip into the sport without loads of extra pressure. I guess the insurance etc. just makes it so much harder now. Keep up the swimming too!
Cheers Ian! Self supported runs sounds great. I'm really interested in doing more of that too, I really like the DIY approach and you can get so much from doing a run like that without the need to do it in a big race. Be great to see what you get up to. We've still got lots of small independent races around Sussex so will mainly be doing those, luckily these exist and haven't been ousted or taken over so hopefully that can stay the same
'24 looks exciting.good luck with all of it. Well done on your 5k and 10k times. Looking forward at all your vids and have enjoyed last years ones.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, great to hear you've enjoyed the videos 👍
great video Ben! You and Carla have both had great 2023's, can't wait to see all that 2024 brings you! :) As others have said, you'll make a fab coach, will be interested to see how you get on with the studying. As for smaller running companies, if you've not already checked out Pegasus running then I highly recommend them for great events :) x
Thanks Nic! I will definitely check out Pegasus running - I've heard the name before but haven't looked at any of their events. Have you any plans/goals for 2024?
@@timeonfeet I've got a few runs booked in but my main ones are Pegsus Ridum 50k in Sept and the big one which i'm absolutely bricking it about is Serpent Trail 100km in Jul (on my birthday as it happens, happy 45th to me!) 😊😊
@@nicmarlow6388 ah nice, those sound great Nic. Heard the Serpant Trail is a lovely route, need to get down and try that out at some point! You'll have a great time doing it I'm sure, nice way to spend a birthday
@@timeonfeet I hope so! 🤞🏻 either way it'll be a nice day out on the trails which is definitely a great way to spend a birthday! :)
My main 2024 goal is to complete the SDW50 in under 12hrs. I have the Lulworth Cove trail marathon at the end of February and the Salisbury plain trail marathon in December but they are going to be run with my wife so not really time focused. I am also looking at doing at least 1 Half-marathon event each month on the months that I'm not running any big events.
Probably no PB'S being beaten this year for me as most of mine where done a couple of years ago when I was a bit fitter 😂
Good luck with your 2024 goals, they sound proper impressive! No doubt some great video material 👌🏻 I look forward to following along from the virtual world, so good luck Ben 💪🏻
That sounds like a great set of goals Paul and a nice range of trails with those races. Hopefully see you at the SDW50! I should be there volunteering, think I mentioned before. Like I said in the video it's probably one of my favourite races, great views and hills are mainly after aid stations which gives time to walk and eat.
Thanks for watching and the good wishes for this year 😀
@@timeonfeet Yeah I'll try and say hello properly this time unlike at Hurtwood when I come jogging past looking a mess 🤣
@@paulmulks 😂
Look forward to seeing your review on UTS100k, I’ve thought about doing the UTS 50k at Snowdonia at some point in the future
Cheers Gez 👍 I did a bit of a recce in the summer and it looks tough going but also stunning, looking forward to getting out there!
Might see you down on Llanberis, as I'm doing the 50k. Lots of leg squats occuring! 😢😂
Nice one Carl, hopefully see you there! I know the feeling, I'm in a fourth floor flat so I think those stairs might be well trodden over the next few months 😂
@@timeonfeet Living the dream... 🤣
@@carlstoakes6240 people will be jealous 😅
