My PB for a 5km is 34:48. I am quite proud of that as I am still working on losing weight to get into better shape to run further and for longer. Speed isn't as important to as the distance. I am happy that you're able to enjoy running again.
"Go off too fast. Massively blow up in the middle and crawl in" - 2:06 - Good to know you and I have the same racing strategy :) Great content Ben! Glad you were able to get under your target too! Definitely a well earned result!
Haha.. I genuinely had not a clue what was possible.. felt like a beginner runner again in terms of thinking, rather than pace! Hope all your half training is coming along well for that 1:12ish! You can do it!
i beat my 5k PB today! beat my record from when i was 15 (6 years ago) when i ran a 18:41 and today i ran a 17:59! beyond chuffed. sub 18 was my goal for the end of the year, didn’t expect to get it this quick after 6 weeks of good training. all the best Ben, good to see you getting back to fitness
Ben takes 10 weeks off and he still runs it 1 minute faster than I can. I will have to take consolation in the fact I am 15 years older. Well done. Broke my leg when I was young certainly never want to do that again.
I think you're amazing Ben. To go from having a broken ankle and surgery to where you are now is unbelievable. 🏃♂️🏃♂️👍 On another note I ran my very first HM over a week ago on my own and loved it. Hope you know how important your channel is to people like me 👍👍
Wow I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see your 5km time! Amazing after so many weeks of rest. I can only dream of running times like you! My pb is 21:36 I'm female and 40. Hoping improve it this year! 🤞😁
Great video Ben! Helpful to see the recovery. I just ran the No Business 100 this past weekend and severely rolled my ankle at mile 18, and ran the remaining 83 miles on it; going to be out at least 4-6 weeks, and maybe more.
I hope your recovery goes well! Can’t wait to watch your journey back to where u were before injury! 18:57 is amazing for after 11 weeks of rest and coming off an injury. Congratulations!
You always have a massive smile on your face during your videos, regardless of what's happening! You clearly love your running! I'm currently feeling sorry for myself with shin splints, so this has certainly put things into perspective. Your 'worst' 5K is no where near my 'best'. Thank you and keep getting it done :-)
Great to see you giving it some Ben, look forward to seeing the progress. Marc :) (shoe wise, why not try Asics Novablast, everyone seems to love them)
First of all You're getting better Thank God my 5k was 34.26 yesterday by your motivation but I'm 51yrs old and 105kg a bit overweight it's my folt....I keep watching your videos and yeah Never back down. 👍💪😉💯
Lovely to see you back running again! My shoe recommendation would be Asics Novablast, I love my pair and would love to see what you think as it looks like Asics are putting more and more effort into the running shoe industry!
Nice video. "Go off too fast. Massively blow up in the middle and crawl in" - haha I know the feeling so well! Great to see you working to get your form back. My 5K PB is 16.08.
It's great to see you back mate. The 11 weeks has flew-by but probably not for you! My PB is 20:45 (from Dec 2018), I'd love to get under 20 mins but I enjoy the long runs rather than the short. BUT this has inspired me to go for it! Lets hope I 'get it done!' :-)
For an easy cush replacement or option to the v10 get a pair of Saucony Triumph 17. They are buttery smooth and will be on mark down very soon due to 18 release.
I'm really liking the On cloudflow as a general easy running shoe. I've only got about 70km on they so far so it is early days but they are doing great so far.
Great job! That was a fun video to watch. If you have a Stryd Wind device then you should set your Garmin to use that for pace and distance instead of GPS. The Stryd Wind is an incredibly accurate device in almost all conditions.
Great to see you recovering. It was a great time, I can't run that fast and I am not returning from injury. Great attitude. Thanks and keep on keeping on from here in Israel.
Glad to see you back out there 'getting it done' Ben! I managed a PB of 20:42 last week, nearly died doing it lol, but hoping to break the 20 minute mark by the end of the year. I'm the same, hammer out of the blocks then try to carry it through, I'm terrible at pacing!
My pb is 39:48, ran a 40:33 the other week so hopefully there will be a parkrun pb in my future when we can get back to them. Really enjoyed watching your videos definitely kept me motivated in these strange times 😊
Was just wondering when this would be out and it popped up in my recommended! Great job, glad to see everything is getting better. Easy run shoe recommendation: Nike Pegasus 36
Annelies Beijer haven't worn it so can't really recommend it. I have the 36s and they are amazing, plus they are on sale at the moment. The 37 are alot more expensive.
@@philandkatereynolds9639 I like the 36 as well, unfortunately I have very narrow feet, so always order the nike id ones, as with those you can choose a narrower fit, but ofcourse those never go on sale! For sure the 37s will go on sale at some point ;)
Good to see Ben getting back into good condition after a major injury 👍 QOD my Pb was last year 18:45 but that was the first 5k of a half marathon is that still considered a 5k Pb if it’s in a half marathon, my actual latest 5k race was a park run back in March 19:04 I’m 56 so is not to bad working on trying to do 17min 5k by the end of 2020, keep up the good work Ben 😀👊🏼🌳🏃🏼♂️🌳🌲🌿🍃
Great video Ben! Glad to see your on the mend and a sub 19 minute 5k on your return after the injury is fantastic, my pb at the moment is 21:15 would love to go under 21. Also I know you have already reviewed the Nike Infinity React shoe but I find it a great shoe. Keep up the great work :)
Good to see you back. Good luck! I have had two separate MRI scans on shoulder and groin. Had a few physio calls but really need to see them in person and hopefully get sorted out. Managing one run a week due to pain and getting fed up because of it. Btw - 5k PB = 18m48.
First off, loving the channel, Ben! From your amazing attitude to competitive running/casual running to the workouts, nutrition and s&c. My 5000m (track PB officially is 15:31 from 2016, but I time-trialled a 15:05 at the start of Quarantine;resulting in my injury... Got checked out and am cycling/ rehab exercising, until I get the go-ahead to run again
👍 I haven't done any sports for 3 months. Never been much of a runner, more weight training. I started running last week and started with 5k three days in a row (average 38 min). Result: knee pain. I know I am an idiot, but I will watch more of your videos, especially warm-up and stretching. BTW got the cheap Garmin Forerunner 45 and happy with it, I don't need more.
The 45 is a great watch for so many people.. you made a good choice there! Yes, try to give yourself a day off between runs.. just let your body absorb everything you're putting through it. Especially if you're doing weights as well. Hope the knee pain settles very soon! All the best!
Had a similar injury and did 5k in 17:08 from 3 months off. Dived in too fast and set me back another two months. I'm naturally fit and get back fitness fast, but also lose it fast. looking forward to starting full time training come June :) Hopefully your methods will work for you and back to full time running ASAP.
My 5k pb is currently 20:08. I've broken 21:00 4 TIMES but I just can't get under that 20 minute barrier. I'll be looking to do that when races start again.
It will come. I was in the same position as you for a while, now I run sub-19 on a regular basis. My advice is to increase to about 60km a week over 5 sessions. 1 session of intervals at 3.55 per km or faster pace,. 1 longer tempo maybe 8km X 4.10/4.15 pace and a long run 16km with some strides thrown in the second half of it.
20:08 pb used to ran a fair bit but didn't run regularly for a while but now really upped by running since the start of lock down pushing for 18 something by the end of the summer
5k pb 21:20 last year, injured myself (itbs) with reckless recovery or lack there off after my first ultra in March so last few months light milage and just done 21:50 5k yesterday so slowly building back up
My Pb is 17:48 although that was a few years ago and I've just hit 40 so not sure I can beat that time. Wanting to do a hard 5K, but a glute issue is preventing that. Good effort after breaking that ankle!!
Current PB is 19:15. That was February of 2019, and I haven't done many official races since then. I've been building up mileage since I sprained my ankle in January, and I'm aiming to be at sub 18 by the end of the summer.
My PB is 22:31, but I wont focus this year on PB's anymore... only on building a good base off easy runs and some tempo's and next year I''ll start with a bang! Ben you should do some TT every 2 weeks or so to see the progress.
Will do a 10k TT in a few weeks.. looking forward to it. Now Sarah has her bike it makes filming this type of thing much better! All the best for your easy runs.. sounds lovely!
Congrats Ben, great to see you running fast again (relative to being couch ridden, not your former self)! Have you done Altras? My favorite shoes. Maybe you could try the escalante, provision or Torin? Also, ever heard of Stryd power meters? I swear by it and base all my pacing off it because it's so consistent and doesn't need GPS signal, plus the critical power it calculates is a great measure of where your fitness is at.
I broke my ankle last week, surgery yesterday. I'm a 15:20 guy, 35 y/o, any tips for staying active during the bed rest phase of recovery? Love the honesty in the videos---keep it up! You'll back in monster shape by the holidays.
+1 for the 1080v10, they are the best easy run shoe I’ve ever used, nothing else I’ve tried has come close. I can’t seem to improve much on my 5k PB of 19:55. I worked really hard to run a sub 20min 5k but have since been focusing on bringing my half marathon times down so I feel I’ve neglected my speed work, although my fitness has definitely improved in the last few months it doesn’t seem to reflect in my 5k time!
Amazing work Ben! You’ve done really well to be running like this after your fracture. Really glad to see you running again. My 5k PB is 25:31 and hoping to go under 25:00 this summer. Fingers crossed.
Nike have 30% off online on everything. I got peg 36 x 2 for €120 including delivery. When I come back from an injury it is always the head that takes a few runs before I can move on but a TT is always good to put a line down where your fitness is. Keep it going as won't be long before you are getting close to your previous numbers
great run ben as always, i'm currently using brooks ricochet for my club runs and reebok 4.5 at the min for my easy runs.... my 5k pb was a xc parkrun 24:15 on ny
Seeing this guy gives me hope....anyone how old he is though...I suffered my first foot fracture a few weeks ago but I'm 38 and am wondering if I can recover as quick. Fortunatel my podiatrist said only 3 weeks in the boot and when I asked if I could run my half in December he seemed optimistic. Any comments on this would be most helpful!
I was going take a rest day then Ben drops a sub19 minute 5k fresh off ankle surgery 😫😂😂 . Good job Ben! Can't wait to see the full comeback/recovery over the next few months
Sitting on the couch 1 week after my surgery for a broken ankle. Your videos give me hope and inspiration. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Hmm the guy with a broken ankle runs a faster 5k than I do. I better go out for a run.
same for me, my current best is 19:08
I mean his ankle isn’t broken anymore 😂 but yeah his ‘out of shape’ time is solid
Welcome to the internet !!!

@@martincantwell4506 good luck with that! :))
PR - 17:07 nearly 5 years ago. Ran a 28:26 8k this past fall which predicts a sub-17, on a sub-16 training program right now
You've always had an inspiring attitude. But the way you've handled your injury and have bounced back are just out of this world. Keep being awesome
Awesome to see you running faster again....onwards and upwards👍
Road PB few weeks ago 18:33, I’m 45
Great video Ben! Helpful to see the recovery. I just ran the No Business 100 this past weekend and severely rolled my ankle at mile 18, and ran the remaining 83 miles on it; going to be out at least 4-6 weeks, and maybe more.

5K PB ... 15:32. Acctually have some videos coming soon of my journey trying to break 15 :)
Hi Ben, would like to see you try a shoe like the ASICS Novablast. I've heard good things. Best effort with the recovery!
First of all You're getting better Thank God my 5k was 34.26 yesterday by your motivation but I'm 51yrs old and 105kg a bit overweight it's my folt....I keep watching your videos and yeah Never back down. 👍💪😉💯
Great to see you running again and always as optimistic as normal 👍👍👍👍
Great to see you back. You're such a motivator for me to keep running. My PB is 21:12 trying to get back to it.
Lovely to see you back running again! My shoe recommendation would be Asics Novablast, I love my pair and would love to see what you think as it looks like Asics are putting more and more effort into the running shoe industry!
Good stuff Ben ... Shoe idea ! Asics Novablast .... never seen you in an Asics shoe, and the cushioning in these is great ! :-)
Awesome display of resilience and courage after your surgery. Truly great work.
Well done Ben for working through the injury. You have done a fantastic job and good luck.
77 degrees F "quite toasty" : ) That was morning cross country practice while it was still cool.
unbelievable to be able to run that fast of a mile pace reocvering from a broken ankle....you're very talented.
Hi Ben. Looking good. Keep it up.
great video ben! you make 5 minute mile pace look so smooth. there's 30% off on the Nike website till the 29th if you are looking for some new shoes.
The quality of footage in this was great, Sarah filming from the bike really adds another dimension to your running footage
Nice video. "Go off too fast. Massively blow up in the middle and crawl in" - haha I know the feeling so well! Great to see you working to get your form back.
My 5K PB is 16.08.
I wish that was my PB!
Goodness!!! Ben Parkes you are inspirational, you run faster than I can even dream of, after breaking you ankle!!! wow
It's great to see you back mate. The 11 weeks has flew-by but probably not for you! My PB is 20:45 (from Dec 2018), I'd love to get under 20 mins but I enjoy the long runs rather than the short. BUT this has inspired me to go for it! Lets hope I 'get it done!' :-)

Ran a 16:45 about a month ago from little training so post injury looking to get into the 15s hopefully and glad to see you back man v happy for ya :)
Inspirational recovery
I find the heat and humidity def throws off the vo2max ratings on the watch. Btw glad to see u back at it! You’re a true competitor!
Nike infinity reacts are great for an easy run shoe! Couldn’t recommend them enough! Great for those easy days!
Glad to see you back out there 'getting it done' Ben! I managed a PB of 20:42 last week, nearly died doing it lol, but hoping to break the 20 minute mark by the end of the year. I'm the same, hammer out of the blocks then try to carry it through, I'm terrible at pacing!
PB 21:18 I've been running since the beginning of march and with any luck I'll break it a couple of more times yet as I improve.
He bloody loves running this man. All done on the return. Big years ahead
My pb is 39:48, ran a 40:33 the other week so hopefully there will be a parkrun pb in my future when we can get back to them. Really enjoyed watching your videos definitely kept me motivated in these strange times 😊
My pb was 37:30 now Im running like 43:30 I gain like 30lbs. Is it possible for me to get under 40 again? I'm 23 years old
MY PB only something like 23 min. Thumbs up Ben. Great to see you back running. Bit of a limp there....
Superb pace! Looking fit and fresh
Glad to see you back running Ben! You will be back up to full speed in no time!
Great to see you back running Ben!

Wow lots of people in London near the end...... it's still like '28 Days Later' where I live......
Yeah.. London is a busy place, even in times like this. Greenwich attracts a lot of visitors and I live right in the middle of it all!
Great comeback 💪
I also had a surgery and the most difficult part is not putting on weight.
Wish you the best 👍
Good to see you back. Good luck! I have had two separate MRI scans on shoulder and groin. Had a few physio calls but really need to see them in person and hopefully get sorted out. Managing one run a week due to pain and getting fed up because of it.

Great, to see you running again!

Keep it up Ben!
I got surgery in a few hrs... also broke my fibula, will definitely miss football and running for sure. But you definitely inspire me bro!!
Great job mate,
Great to see you back running! Pro vest on to show you mean business 😁
I've run 3, 5ks at 15:07 to 15 flat. And a bunch at 15:20 pace. Many years ago.
Amazing work Ben! You’ve done really well to be running like this after your fracture. Really glad to see you running again. My 5k PB is 25:31 and hoping to go under 25:00 this summer. Fingers crossed.
Good luck with the sub 25 Mohammed.. you can do it!
Good run. You've still got a bit of a limp...but no doubt getting better each day/week.
God your form's incredible. I had a 2hr session with Shane at the beginning of the year and I'm still struggling
Nike have 30% off online on everything. I got peg 36 x 2 for €120 including delivery.

saucouny triumph 17 is good for easy days. similar to boost foam but super push
Hi Ben, would love to see a video on how you use your stryd foot pod
Still wouldn't be close with yourself even at the level now Ben....Never just squeezed under 20mins best 20.01..Your comeback is well and truly on..
great run ben as always, i'm currently using brooks ricochet for my club runs and reebok 4.5 at the min for my easy runs.... my 5k pb was a xc parkrun 24:15 on ny
Can you review the New Balance 860? I've tried fancier shoes but I keep returning to these as my go-to pair.
Great to see you back Ben - what is 'heathy' food?!!
Congratulations Ben. What an inspiration for you to do sub 20 after 10 weeks
Thinking about getting the Hoka Cavu 2s
I got an i official 5k pb of 16:11 this month. Hoping to break 16’ soon!
I'm just starting to run again... I've been battling stress fractures for over a year.
All the best with your comeback! :-)
@@BenParkes Thanks!
Hi Ben, great video and nice to see you back out there! What's the band you're wearing on your left forearm?
Ollie Coburn polar oh1 heart rate monitor
Commented before you answered this. Ignore me!
Seeing this guy gives me hope....anyone how old he is though...I suffered my first foot fracture a few weeks ago but I'm 38 and am wondering if I can recover as quick. Fortunatel my podiatrist said only 3 weeks in the boot and when I asked if I could run my half in December he seemed optimistic. Any comments on this would be most helpful!
I was going take a rest day then Ben drops a sub19 minute 5k fresh off ankle surgery 😫😂😂 . Good job Ben! Can't wait to see the full comeback/recovery over the next few months
Very positive person..!!
