Hey Ben, thanks for sharing your training plan for the South Downs Way 100. It's great to see that you're focusing on building good habits and incorporating various types of training, including night runs and strength and conditioning. Wishing you all the best in your first 100-mile ultramarathon!
Thanks so much Mihai. Really enjoying the training so far so with 4 weeks to go, hopefully I can keep it going and get to the start line well prepared! Thanks for your support buddy
Ben, you are so sensible! You are right, building good habits and sleeping well is so important. I must admit, I find it that napping helps too. I've heard so many good things about cold showers but I've still never tried it. Well done for always thinking about your recovery. Look forward to watching Carla's ultra run. (By the way, it was interesting to see that you walked The South Downs Way in 7 days as a teen-ager.)
Thanks so much Olga. I've found the cold water really good for recovery. I was pleased when I went for a swim at my local pool today and they had one shower specifically for cold water 😅 Would definitely recommend it for recovery. Looking forward to getting out there to support Carla with her first ultra this week and capture the day!
This training is going to teach me so much! Informative and exciting.... I can't wait to follow along!
Thanks Paul! Enjoying the training so far, just another 4 weeks and a bit now until race day so not long 😀
As you know I'm training for an Ultra so this was super helpful, thank you. Heck of a training regimen Ben. Congrats on 1k and good luck to Carla
Thanks Sage, glad you found it useful 👍 All the best with your training and thanks for good wishes for Carla and her race this weekend 😊
Mate, you are doing so well and this is such a balanced approach to training, whatever the distance. Totally agree about the motivation aspect - sometimes you just need to keep showing up and the rest will come!
Thanks mate, that's the hope with keeping it balanced to not focused on too much of the same running and work the muscles in different ways so hopefully it works! Also helps with mixing it up and keeping it interesting. Thanks for watching 🙏
Congrats on hitting the 1k subs milestone!! Really interesting to hear how you've been training for the 100mile and it sounds like you've been doing everything to be as prepared as you can be, including the long run at night and all the extra stuff on the cross training and recovery side!
Thanks Chloe! I was surprised by how good I felt on the night run, it was a really nice time to be running with the stillness but I think doing it with a couple of friends really helped too 😃
Sounds very exciting. A lot of ultra runners say the 100 mile is where the real ultra running starts
Thanks, looking forward to finding out if this is true 😅
sounds like you're taking things really sensibly Ben 😀 the only thing i'd add if you don't already incorporate would be regular visits to the chiro or osteo to make sure your body is all alligned and any niggles sorted. I can't tell you how good I feel after seeing my chiro to sort out my back/hips and feet.
I can't wait to hear how Carla gets on at Run to the Sea, I really hope she enjoys it and it's a lovely day (and she enjoys soaking her tired feet in the sea after!). Bestest of luck for the run Carla! 😘 x
Thanks Nic, that's a good shout. Thanks for the good wishes for Carla's ultra too, really looking forward to getting out there and capturing the day!
@@timeonfeet no worries, it might not be for you but I swear by mine now (didn't like my first chiro tho so i'm glad I switched and tried again).
amazing, look forward to seeing and hearing all about it. :)
Great plan. Sounds sensible and on point. Liking the idea of night runs …
Cheers James. Really enjoying the night runs so far, the vibe feels very different at night and bit of an adventure!
And good to see the strength and conditioning work ! (Big fan of s & c)
Trying to do more of it this year so hopefully can keep it consistent 💪
Congrats on the 1k subs! Looking forward to watch you crush the race!
Cheers buddy 🙏 Enjoying the training so far and hopefully will still be liking the South Downs by the later stages of the race 😀
Congratulations on the 1k subs - well deserved. Best wishes with the training.
Thanks for the support, much appreciated 👍
An inspiring, helpful and very well edited video. Good luck.
Thanks very much 😄👍
Congratulations on the 1K subs Ben!
Thanks very much 🙏
Great stuff, Ben. I've been having a few naps lately, both intentional and accidental 😁 They do seem to make a difference.
Cheers Mark. We're pretty much elite Kenyan runners now with those naps 😀
@@timeonfeet I'm fairly sure Kipchoge watches my videos for running tips 😄
@@markg99 I overheard that he did too 😀
Good to see those Sumo squats mate! Remember to push from the glutes on those! :) Well, as you know I want to arrange a chat with you regarding your mental approach to this race. Let me put together a set of questions, send them over and lets book a date and time in sort it out ok?
Cheers Phil! Thanks, that would be great. Send me through any questions you've got and can have a look and we can book something in for just before or after the race early June. Definitely up for that 👍
Sounds like such a sensible plan Ben. You have given me a few ideas for things I can work into my own training. I have no doubt that you're going to absolutely smash the SDW mate! Good luck to Carla for next week! 😎🤘
Cheers Ben! Trying to just keep it fairly consistent and also not push it too much, a difficult balance but feeling good so far. Thanks for the good wishes for Carla. As the aid stations don't have her favourite trail snack watermelon it looks like I might have to be a mobile aid station with a supply of it on the day 😅
Great video Ben! Also good to be able to tell my wife that naps are part of my elite training rather than me being a lazy x?x? 👍😂
Cheers Ben! Definitely. If anyone asks about you taking more naps you can just say well I'm an elite runner now 😂
Very insightful, Ben. It sounds like 90% the sake way you'd prepare for a road race. Is the speed work in there to ensure you dial in to all available levels of fitness?
One major difference is we wouldn't do an 11pm run to train for the local 10k :-)😂
In terms of any further advice and tips, I think it's the other way around... :😂
Cheers both. Yes the speed work is to get the heart and lungs working a bit harder but also to develop those muscles that will be especially useful later on in the race when I start to fatigue. Trying to get more used to running at unsociable hours 😀
Thats no stone left unturned training Ben. Gonna try the cold showers....really insightfull. Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers buddy. Would definitely recommend the cold showers. Admittedly not that fun at first but you start to get a buzz for them 😀 See you out there on the course next weekend 👍
VERY interesting Ben!! I think what I found most surprising is that you so easily found two other crazies to go out running all night!!! 😮😂😂 Impressive ALL that though Ben!! Enjoy!!!! In your next video with Carla, would love to hear about her mental “tricks” if possible!! Thanks!!!! 🙋🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Thanks Bev! I know we must all be as crazy as each other 😅 Definitely, I can ask Carla about what mental tricks she'll be using on the day no probs 👍
Thanks Ben, enjoyed the video, I recently got a theragun mini i think it’s called which helps and like how you break down your strength training into groups I am going to try that.
Thanks Terry. I've heard they're great, never tried one myself but I can imagine it also saves a lot of energy as opposed to doing self massage. My thumb's are almost falling off from massaging my achilles most days 😅
Check the gun out I just use a 10min guided session from the app, I struggle with foam rolling
@@waterfallstudios5746 I'll have a look for sure. Did you get it online?
They had one or two in Cotswold and runners need. I got the mini.
@@waterfallstudios5746 Nice, will check it out. They do a 10% discount in runners need for parkrunners too which is good
Train for the descents, If the quads are gone youll hate the gully of doom descent into eastbourne after 97 miles
Great tip Dave, thanks. I've run that gully after 23 miles and 46 miles and it was tricky then so after 97 it's going to be interesting 😅 Will get those descents in 👍
What are you doing for mental training 🙂
Hi Martin. I've got a box of tricks that I've used with other ultras before which I've found help. Chunking often works well for me, so just focusing on getting to the next checkpoint on tree rather than thinking about the whole distance. And then also fixating on and magnifying positives so that could be the trails, the views, a drink I like when things get tough. These kinds of things I do on my long runs or more tricky runs each week as well as adjusting quickly to make myself as comfortable as possible like I would for the 100
Video so beautiful
I love your video
