Great quality Vlog as per usual and you made 8:43 look TOOOO easy! Was great to see you and glad you’ve got the Watford bug 😉
Thanks phily! Was great to catch up with you and Dan! Buy him a pint from me, he’s pretty handy with the camera 📸
@@BenIsRunning I’ll buy him two.. I think I owe him quite a few by now as well 😂
I’d love to buy all three of you a beer 🍻 cheers
Phily, hello 👋,I'm from your channel 💖я сейчас лежу в больнице,но надеюсь что скоро найду подходящего тренера и приступлю к тренировкам !
The fact that you switched from marathon training to winning track races!! Your range is unbelievable 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you mate
Great video mate, the filming was top notch ;) you've got such a nack for telling a story in your vlogs. Keep smashing it mate. I think youve got the XC, ive got the track so the road is where we need to meet next :D keep it up
Cheers mate! All the best for the rest of the season 😀
Two good channels. You seem like pleasant guys.
@@Ligerpride thanks man
Congrats on the PB and the win!! As a slow runner who has been running for less than a year, I love seeing these vlogs! It's so cool to get a glimpse into a world that I'd have never known about. Plus it helps motivate me to go out on my runs when I don't feel like it lol. Thank you for another great video!
Speed is relative, no runners are slow :) great to hear you’ve been motivated by my videos and hope you continue to to enjoy them!
Great job Ben. Great seeing you, Cole and Philly all deliver great results. Looked an excellent event.
Thanks Chris! Makes me happy that there’s now a following not only for my own running endeavours but my fellow TH-cam content creators. Proud to be part of the growing community and thanks for your support
Great Run Ben. Pleased I was able to hopefully help drag you round for a PB.
Thanks mark! Was nice to meet you
Let's go Ben! Congratulations on your PB and I must point out that your running form was looking so smooth and relaxed!
Thanks Alex! It was falling apart in the last few laps but kept the arms pumping and hung on in there! Tough stuff track racing 🙌🏻
@@BenIsRunning No worries! I wish my running form would look that smooth when feeling tired, Yes hung on there to get that big W 👊💯
Congrats on the win Ben💪 I remember running there when it was a cinders track!!!
Back in my day ;) just kidding! Thanks Chris, hope your doing well 👌
@@BenIsRunning many many many many many many many etc etc days ago! Cinder tracks were interesting, I think my first spikes that I purchased from a car boot sale was owned my roger banister 😂 They had nails for spikes!!!
@@BenIsRunning still recovering from 😡 COVID!!! Elevated HR when I run and my lungs are hating the warmer weather! I see you’ve had your eyes done, looking good👌
@@ThatRunningGuy would love to see you run an all out miles in those 😂
Cracking video again Ben! Fast becoming my absolute favourite running You tuber. The length of your videos are great mate, keep up the good work
Thanks buddy, appreciate your feedback
Hearing “GO ON PHILLY” in another persons videos is kinda cool
Its been many years since i was down there training under George Harrison with the Shaftsbury Middle distance squad. This is a great blog that bought back a few memories. Especially a 10x400m on 62 that had me being sick over the barriers
Super pace from all the quality runners they all looked professional. Tight race sit and kick classic. Congratulations to everyone. Glad I wasn’t in the race I would have been lapped many times. Watford rocks.
Thanks mate! It certainly does rock
Congrats on the PB Ben, I was the Aldershot vest in your race. Great race and well done for the win. 👍
Ah cool! Nice sharing the track with you!
Great run. Congrats.
I miss those long summer evenings in the UK.
Thanks Andy!
Great to see you getting the sponsorship Ben! Funny enough I got one of those watch straps a few months ago and would recommend
Thanks fin! Good to hear, very impressed with mine! Needed a replacement for sure
Loved this one - well done and congrats on a new PB! Keep going 🔥
Thank you Kjell
A pleasure to watch you run, amazing form!!
Thank you Sem
I knew you could do it!You smashed it Ben.Congrats mate.
Thanks Tony :)
Cracking win and superb PB Phily 🤣🤣 sorry Ben this is your channel 😜 absolutely killing it Ben unwards and upwards 😄👍
Thank you Steve and yes full credit to Philly! First track Pb in 4 years after her incredible debut marathon. Machine
Loving the vids mate! Really inspiring to keep improving my own running for which I love. Thanks and I’m excited to see you get faster:)
BiR FTW !! ⭐️😎👏🏁
8:42.92 was my outdoor track PB. Raced it one time I think. It's like a 5 or 6 hour drive to get to a track meet here, so Mostly stuck with road racing. Nice 1:58 by Cole, solid for a road guy. You guys are killing it.
Thanks Judson. Are you telling me your faster by a few 10ths of a second ;)
@@BenIsRunning ha, dipped you at line
Great job brother man
Congratulations Ben, Great Job 👍
Such a great video, Ben. Really enjoyed that one! You’re so right about these race organisers needing to support you guys. ANYONE that wants to showcase these events should be welcomed!
Well done! I was "told off", well actually was shouted at for daring to hold a GoPro from the outer lanes at one of these meets last summer. I think technically there is a clause in the rules of competition that disallows filming but more from the perspective of potentially assisting competitors - say in a field event when you could review footage and adjust next go. Not sure how could apply to running events however.
Thanks Tim! I personally just think it’s a lack of understanding between us as content creators/ the power of social media for events like this and the, dare I say it older generation, that officiate these sort of events
@@BenIsRunning yeah and have heard similar in bike road race events and then there is the "ban" of personal footage in the Boston Marathon which you even have to "agree" to if want to run it. It is however possible at 55 I am older than said officials :)
Holy moly you getting quick Ben.
Great run Ben and PB too at a weird distance.
Out of interest, are there any running meets near Cambridge that I can just turn up and watch? Looks like fun spectating for a lazy summer's evening.
nice crossover :D Next time do trio with jog on!
Nicely done!👍
Thanks James!
Super well done 👏
Cheers Phil
Amazing video ben
Thank you Jack
Win or not I really enjoy your videos, but congrats on the win anyway!
Thanks mate, appreciate your support
Ben well done and as someone new to track meets who is trying to get into them, would be good to get your top tips for beginners. I’ve only done a couple of races but feel a lot less comfortable than I do on roads.
Well done Ben
Cheers dean
Loved it, great as ever
Thank you Daniel
What a great run!
Well done bro 💪
Thanks DG
Are you going to the Chelmsford race tomorrow
What race is that mate?
@@BenIsRunning It’s a SEAA one, southern senior Championships but there is also a 3000m for u15 and u17
congratZ Ben! what coros model do you have? and do you only wear it for running?
8:43 and 9:06 amazing
Who’s the little dude, meditating in the bottom right corner?
Hi Ben don't know if you noticed but you can actually see coles race time
That’s the time of the winner of the race, the clock stops as soon as the first runner crosses the line :)
My bad sorry lol
💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I noticed you switched from the adidas to the Nikes for the 3k. Any specific reason?
As I get used to the track season the legs are feeling a little more comfortable in the more aggressive Nike. Over 5/10,000m I’d still go adidas at the moment :)
Is this ur full time job or do u work?
What pace do you normally do your warmup at?
4:30-5:00/km and then for longer races 10mins pick up to tempo effort
@@BenIsRunning thanks for answering
@@lewislittlewood6685 no problem :)
I won't put what he runs in the video, 10s later...puts the time in the video ,🤣
The time shown on the clock isn’t Cole’s time it’s the guy who won the race. Not the first and sure you won’t be be the last to make that mistake 😂
@@BenIsRunning I stand corrected 😁
S
I grew up in Luton. Watford sucks!
Go get em bro 😂🤬
" grass rash " from sitting down..... lol you know you're soft when.....
First I got alphafly 2 and you don't 😝 fu

@@BenIsRunning 😘
Another great video and so good to see the TH-camrs collaborating and supporting each other all amazing athletes and top people 🫡
Thank you Daniel! It’s a real pleasure doing events with the likes of Cole and phily…makes it much more exciting
