Like you said Ben there's always another race, onwards and upwards, Love the channel and your enthusiasm for life, don't underestimate the positive message your sending out to all your subscribers/followers, it means a lot 👍🏼
This is a really great video and what an honour to have my short clips featured in this(6:22). It was a real pleasure talking to you at the finish line. Keep up the great work!
I actually had to look you up in Frankfurt timing system - must say: Might not have met the goal, but it’s still an absolute killer time! Take a minute to be proud of yourself
5 months ago I subscribed and commented on your video (14 comments and a few thousand views), in which I got an awesome response. Been following you since and look how far you`ve come! 42K subs and tons of views - very impressive. If you ever come to Norway I would love to show you some great trails! Cheers
Chin up, chest out! Your time is still incredible, you inspire me... forget this race, we are no machines. i also made the same bad experience at munich marathon 2 weeks before... sometimes you can't explain what the problem was, but hey... that's why we love running marathon, you never know what you get. Good luck from austria!🇦🇹 Your big fan, Franz
I am so happy to hear you say in effect “it was what it was” I am exactly the same after a race. I go for the PR but if I don’t achieve it, no excuses. I was tracking you and I unfortunately couldn’t cheer any louder 🙂 Great job either way dude !
My Brother I'm so darn proud of you for staying positive no matter what and showcasing that to the people around you. You inspired me starting today to put the work in if I want the results. Tomorrow I run my 29th full. The result may not be what I want but I'll come back stronger next season. The pavement will be there when we're ready.
Well done, be proud of yourself. Thank you for all the stories and your nice videos. You are an inspiration and a great motivator. Again, thank you for everything. Siggi, Lake Constance, Germany
Looking forward to the next series! I think your race time from your last race is still something to be proud of! Congrats! Also, congrats to Sarah! ❤🎉
Sorry it didn’t work out for you in Frankfurt but there’s something to learn from every race and you’re bound to come back stronger. Well done to you both and thanks for the videos and the inspiration!
My running has improved so much from your videos. I'm running further and longer than ever and getting PBs along the way. Great content, looking forward to 2020! 😃
An huge well done Ben ! Sometimes things don’t go as we want but I think is the best training. You’re the demonstration of clean running! Respect man ! 🏃🏻♂️💪🏻
Ben - Just a bad day at the office. Sarah - Well done and I like the tears 👍 I was also crying when I ran 2.56.33 😂💪. Keep on running always. Love from 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Well done Ben! And super congratulations to Sarah! I recently ran the Munich marathon (my first) and there was no way I could have done a recovery run for at least a week. I could hardly walk!
Another honest vlog Ben..... sharing the highs and lows over your journey, 2.20 is the dream and you may or may not get there (reckon you will though👊) but it won't be for a lack of effort and dedication....big shout out to Sarah on her awesome p.b!!!
Great series Ben, even though it didn't go to plan. Wishing you all the best for the next one! Loved the shout out to Pets At Home, me and my other half have always called it the "Free Zoo!"
Ben, it was nice to meet you in the finish area and change some words, just before Sarah came. I also missed my goal sub 3:15 and also my PB about a minute, but this happens. Sometimes you can't really explain, why.
Finally a video... been looking forward. Also can't wait to see how you train for the Comrades... since I have no idea how to train for those distances. Great content Ben!
I know it was not your personal goal but 2.33 is an amazing time for a marathon. It is seriously fast. Well done and congratulations! Looking forward to the next series.
love the videos, love following your training and races. so much so i am in my 2nd week training (12 week block) with one of your level 4 advanced half marathon plans!, enjoying it and all the information provided. cheers.
Thank you for being an inspiration Ben! Always want to run whenever I watch your videos. Sadly I am nursing a runner's knee and I am giving myself a few more days of rest.
Well done Sarah amazing result!! Sorry it didn’t happen for you Ben, still an incredible result. - I understand you are disappointed Ben, but disappointment fuels the motivation for tomorrow. It’s been great to watch your journey and how you will channel this result into something new & exciting. Happy running 🏃♀️ 🏃🏼
Sorry you didn’t make your goal but your time was still amazing. Sarah also did a super time. Finished my first marathon in Dublin on Sunday the support was unreal achieved my goal of 3:10. Can not wait for the next one. Keep up the videos your personality is infectious.
Great vlog....as always Ben. Incredibly inspiring! So interesting to hear about your thoughts on training, what went well, maybe didn't go so well etc. I hope you get into UTMB! Off road training is such a mystery to me. BW to you and Sarah
I think it's got something to do with "October". The first weekend of october I scratched my car on a granite pole. Then my dishwasher broke down. Driving to get a new one, my car broke down. The next day I got the influenza and was struck down for 5 days. Looking in my calendar for the last 12 years, I can see a pattern that October tends to be the mont with most cases of bad luck. Including broken tooth, muscle injuries, broken car key in the ignition, radiator hose broken, divorce amd much more. I think I should stay in bed, the whole month !!!
I know it wasn’t the time you wanted Ben and you gave it your best so very well done. Very impressed with your positive outlook post Frankfurt and this will inspire other people if they have similar setbacks. Good analysis of where you could have improved so just a case of tweaking the training really. 2 hours 33 is still a great time so looking forward to seeing you get the time you want next year.. wish I could run that fast 👍🏃♂️
Well done Ben 👏👏 It’s great that you know why, so that you can perfect it for another time. There will be many more chances (you’re only young). Everything you said is so right (and makes so much sense to me and what I’m trying to achieve). Well done again and thanks for all the advice 👍
Can you do a video on winter running gear, want some gloves, hat and warm top ect but not sure how well to wrap up when running, also just bought a pair of compression socks and I love them but some people say don’t train in them just use them for racing,
Hey Ben, next time you will pass with your better time. I saw almost the whole marathon in our TV (HR1). I saw it until you've passed the finish line! Great race and next year I hope I'll run also again the Frankfurt Marathon. Now in the video you said, more Trailrunning, more hills ASO. What about "Hochkönigman" in Austria ;-) AND.... "Laufe Lasse" ==> Keep running ;-)
Great video, it’s a real shame about your result but keep your chin up, you simply learn from each race and each run, just alter your training and you will get there, keep up your great work, take care and keep looking after yourself and Sarah
They are actually just calf sleeves from Compressport.. but also have black socks, so they appear like long socks. I usually wear them for big efforts as they can help support the calf muscle and promote blood flow. Then jury is always out on how effective they are.. but I've run some great times wearing them, so keep using them!
@@BenParkes Not watching the Rugby World Cup? Think a lot of parkruns will have a low attendance this week. Good luck with the run and I am sure you will come back and smash your marathon goals in the long term. Thanks for the content. Been good to follow. Will be sticking around to see how you go.
You should meet up and run with Andrius V. Great Vegan marathoner in London, I think you guys ran together at Berlin for the first half. Great video once again Ben, love your passion and enthusiasm as always!!!!
Yeah.. I gave him a big thumbs up during Frankfurt when he was on the other side of the road! Seems like a lovely guy. Hopefully our paths will cross soon! Glad you liked the video Marc!
That's a decent time and gets you the "A" seeding at Comrades. Meaning you get to start with the elites. Your goal should be to not get carried away running at the same pace as others in your group.
You really sound disappointed for your Frankfurt results. I am sorry that is how you feel. We WORK hard. We DO our best. And appreciate all that LIFE brings us. Don’t underestimate the POSITIVE impact you have on others.

Well done Ben! And super congratulations to Sarah! I recently ran the Munich marathon (my first) and there was no way I could have done a recovery run for at least a week. I could hardly walk!
congrats to both of you...
VIDEO IDEA: Ben could you do a 'real time warm up' video, your whole routine that I can watch and copy before heading out the door please!
Another honest vlog Ben..... sharing the highs and lows over your journey, 2.20 is the dream and you may or may not get there (reckon you will though👊) but it won't be for a lack of effort and dedication....big shout out to Sarah on her awesome p.b!!!
I find your finish time really good, but Sarah's tim is brilliant! Congrats! 03h19 is a time I'm dreaming about.
Great series Ben, even though it didn't go to plan. Wishing you all the best for the next one!

Mate be proud you gave it all

Yeah.. am proud of the result.. ignites the fire for the next one! Thanks Hector
Ben, it was nice to meet you in the finish area and change some words, just before Sarah came. I also missed my goal sub 3:15 and also my PB about a minute, but this happens. Sometimes you can't really explain, why.
Some days are good, some days suck.. overall LIFE is GOOD. We keep on moving.
Well sone Ben & Sarah! As a new runner I find your videos really helpful and inspiring! Look forward to your next projects and goals!

Loving the updates. I’m in training for my marathon (74 days away) and trying to PR from 3:30. This will be my third and I have ALOT of work to do
Cracking episode as always mate. Looking forward to the new series!
Congratulations to both of you!

Gutted about your race. You will always achieve your goal but perhaps not to n the day you expect. I ran a new 10k PB at the weekend and went sub 32
I think it's got something to do with "October".
The first weekend of october I scratched my car on a granite pole.
Then my dishwasher broke down.
Driving to get a new one, my car broke down.
The next day I got the influenza and was struck down for 5 days.
Looking in my calendar for the last 12 years, I can see a pattern that October tends to be the mont with most cases of bad luck.
Including broken tooth, muscle injuries, broken car key in the ignition, radiator hose broken, divorce amd much more.
I think I should stay in bed, the whole month !!!
keep it up Ben!

wish I could run that fast 👍🏃♂️
Great attitude to have mate. Wish I could be like that. Keep at it.
Nice video, you have the right attitude and will be back stronger 💪🏼
Well done Ben 👏👏 It’s great that you know why, so that you can perfect it for another time. There will be many more chances (you’re only young). Everything you said is so right (and makes so much sense to me and what I’m trying to achieve). Well done again and thanks for all the advice 👍
Thank you Melanie! We're always learning every day to try and improve.. All the very best with your running!
Keep working hard for the next one. Your day will come soon for smashing that PB.
Ben, our dishwasher just packed in too. Washing in the sink. Tough times. Tough times. 😊
BTW that soup and rice thing looked wicked! That’s going straight on the menu for this week
Can you do a video on winter running gear, want some gloves, hat and warm top ect but not sure how well to wrap up when running, also just bought a pair of compression socks and I love them but some people say don’t train in them just use them for racing,

Thanks Sammy!
Great videos. Really motivate me.
Well done Ben👍
Well done Sarah 👍
Honest bloke.. well done and doesn’t beat himself up
Still a very good result ! I was there to run my very first marathon, I thought it was a great event !
It’s about the journey, I got 2 58 at Amsterdam and will shoot for 2 55 at Boston next year.
Might not be the result you wanted mate but awesome stuff. Well done.
Cheers and congratulations to Sarah 👍👍👍
At last! Well done both :)
Thank you Peter! :-)
I have been watching all your vid for a month now. Waited for 2 days on how you get on last sunday. Fail or not about pb, you are impressive
Well done Ben & Sarah 😊
Bravo, bravo, bravo, felicidades te quiero mucho!!!
Sarah congratulations... Ben "it's better to burn out than fade away"
Great video, it’s a real shame about your result but keep your chin up, you simply learn from each race and each run, just alter your training and you will get there, keep up your great work, take care and keep
looking after yourself and Sarah
Are those socks good for longer distances never used them before or nobody's actually explained either
They are actually just calf sleeves from Compressport.. but also have black socks, so they appear like long socks. I usually wear them for big efforts as they can help support the calf muscle and promote blood flow. Then jury is always out on how effective they are.. but I've run some great times wearing them, so keep using them!
Effort will soon pay, wish you thé best for both of you, you deserve it, keep up the good work,
And thanks to you, also !!!
Not to worry Ben. Had you run that time before the year 1920 it would have been a world record. Still good.
I wonder where his hr zone is for most of the marathon.
Well done Ben and Sarah. Which Parkrun will you be at this Saturday?
Eden project!
@@BenParkes Expect to see you listed on Fast Running on Monday :) Course record of 15:08. ;)

Love from Athens Greece!
Me and Sarah have something in common: we both ran a 3:19 marathon on Sunday!
That's a decent time and gets you the "A" seeding at Comrades. Meaning you get to start with the elites. Your goal should be to not get carried away running at the same pace as others in your group.
Well done Ben, you should do a video showcasing your medals
Hi Ben! To me you looked super tired in the eyes the last days, maybe take a small break! Amazing series, keep going ;)
I'm certainly sleeping a lot better now, so all is getting better. Thank you!
Great!!!
Awesome time, though! 😃
Yeah.. can't be too unhappy with it! :-)
