"6hours and 22minutes of running, 62K which is pretty good!"🤣😂 Pretty good yeah I'll say!!! Really that cold water must've felt good in a way!! It's one of my dreams to just go out and run 60-70km, unsupported... I was thinking I might give that a go this summer so THIS is really motivating Ben!!! Ben's Running Home video really inspired me (Time On Feet) when he ran 75miles solo from the Greenwich Observatory along the Meridian "trail"... what an adventure that was!! I LOVE running adventures!!!
Cheers Bev! It was a superb day on the trails 👌 Yeah the water was actually quite nice on the calf muscles 🤣 although not the best recovery technique it certainly helped 🤣 I highly advise giving an adventure a go. I enjoyed the planning side of things and then putting it all together on the day. 😎🤘
Wow. I can't imagine running 50 miles in a race, let alone in training. I think you're the person I've seen progress the most in the time I've been watching running UA-cam. Keep it up mate 💪💪
I am sure you will do it one day Mark! I was inspired by your 32k the other week 😊👍 That's very kind of you mate I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
Cheers Reto I really appreciate the kind words mate. It only dawned on me in the last 15 miles that I had just come off the back of a 100 mile week the week prior 🤣
You wanted the crow's to fly off in a sort of John Woo .. face off moment (instead of like reluctant annoyed dogs) .. I gotcha , perhaps next time. Super running as always . you are a machine
That's exactly what I had envisioned mate but it didn't quite plan out the way I had intended 🤣 Thanks for all the support JBS I really appreciate it bud! 😎🤘
What an adventure, mate! Keep conquering those miles and spreading those smiles, hehe! Can't wait to see more of your incredible journeys. Stay awesome, Ben, dear friend!
It was a great way to clear the shoes off and ease the pains in the legs Michael but I'm not sure it would be great on race day if those floods are still there 🤣 Thanks for watching buddy! 😎🤘
Fantastic mate! Solid week of running once again. Going from strength to strength and Dammmm you are putting in the hard work! You are going to smash this 100 miler mate. Haha.... I could literally feel how refreshing that water was on your feet lol. Well done mate!!
Cheers Stephen! It was a top day out on the trails bud. The flooding certainly was refreshing mate but I don't think it would be ideal in the first 10 miles of a 100 miler 🤣 Thanks for watching bud I hope you're well. 😎🤘
Ah what a solution for mud on heels - wash them off through a nice stream or three. I hope you have another pair of shoes lined up :) I've run to Rowlands Castle a few times from Petersfield but not via Butser Hill !
Yeah I can recommend it Tim. Great for kick starting the recovery too with a nice ice bath 🤣 I highly recommend you give the backside of Butser a climb mate. It does kill your goal pace though. 🤣 Thanks for watching bud! 😎🤘
Cheers Martin. It was a cracking day for it. Weather's been pretty pants since that day. So I got lucky. Yeah I will make sure I pack my canoe for race day 🤣👍 Thanks for watching mate! 😎🤘
Well done Ben. Great run and video there. Just love the smooth way you are moving, even after all those miles. Some super views as well. Good luck mate, hope you smash the SDW.
Cheers Pete thats very kind of you bud. I have been really enjoying the training lately it's been going pretty well. Just need to be a bit sensible now. I hope you're well mate. Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
What a run this is. Loved all this and seeing my home town, and a lot of the route I run all the time is exciting to see someone else run. Fantastic account of your adventure Ben! Nice one mate.
Thanks Martin! It was a great day out. I had a blast. You have some superb areas to run in around your neck of the woods mate. I look forward to going back and exploring some more soon. Thanks for watching mate! 😎🤘
Madness Ben! So glad it was a nice day for you though - the weather has been hit and miss recently. Was that a point to point run? You said you had your car to get back home?
Cheers Ian! Yeah I got very lucky with the weather mate. This weekend has been a completely different story. Yeah it was a point to point. My old man drove down to pick me up. 😎🤘
What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. Whilst me 🛌🛌🛌 (bed emoji btw). Want to solve the problem with Englands silly Sunday trading rules....move to Scotland, stuff is actually open on a Sunday! who'd have thought.(might be abit of an extreme life change for a bottle of coke before 10am on a Sunday 😂)
It was a superb day out Kev. Yeah it is a bit old fashioned but it's not too much of an issue. I am just glad the petrol stations came through with the goods in the end. Thanks for watching bud! 😎🤘
Amazing Ben, what a run! Really cool to thread together all those different trails and explore a new route. Proper adventure run 👌😃 Nice surprise at the end with those mega puddles to go through! Well done mate, cracking effort
Cheers Ben! I was partially inspired by your self supported long run last year. It was a wicked day out mate. Couldn't believe it when I realised I had to cross through it all 🤣 Thanks for watching mate! 😎🤘

Buster Hill looked beautiful. What a mad run! Kudos
Well worth getting up there for the views mate. Take the fam up for a walk. Wouldn't advise going up the back side though 🤣

Ben, what a beautiful and awesome run! Your training including the 100-mile week is so inspirational, love the passion and commitment!

It was such a great adventure Mihai! Possible my best solo long distance run ever. Such a great feeling of freedom. Thanks for watching buddy! 😎🤘
Nothing like a couple of rivers to finish off with.😮
Can't beat a long run ending up in knee high water 🤣 The joys of trail running 🤣 Thanks for watching! 😎🤘
Amazing and varied run . Fabulous determination Ben and clean trail shoes at the end! 😂🏃🏻♂️✌️
It was a great way to clear the shoes off and ease the pains in the legs Michael but I'm not sure it would be great on race day if those floods are still there 🤣 Thanks for watching buddy! 😎🤘
Great video and a smashing week off running. 100miles in a week is truly awesome!
Cheers Neil! It was a wicked day out on the trails I had a blast! Thanks for watching bud! 😎🤘

What a nice day for the run, it looked perfect out there ☀ A cracking long run for sure, even with the paddle at the end 🐟

Good luck for race day Ben. You have one hell of a race ahead of you, looking forward to seeing how you smash things!
Cheers Craig I really appreciate the support bud. I hope you're well mate I have a few of your vids to catch up on. 😎🤘
Cracking run pal, recognised so many areas you ran. But never in one hit👌👏
Cheers Jason! I really enjoyed treading some new trails mate. It was a cracking day out. Thanks for watching bud! 😎🤘
