    In today's vlog I race the Bristol Track Club 5k at the Odd Down Circuit in Bath. With an incredibly strong field of elite runners and in the midst of my training for the Boston Marathon training, I've got no idea how this ones going to go.

    Hey Ben, this is fantastic! I cannot even imagine to hold such incredible pace for 5K, maybe maximum 1K, and it would still be extremely hard for me. So you're BIG INSPIRATION!!! Thanks a lot for sharing all this with us.

  • @johnhiggins674
    @johnhiggins674 Рік тому +2

    Well done Ben, great running. 😀
    I managed a parkrun PB on Saturday, only my third ever sub twenty and exact match of my overall 5k PB from last year.
    Marathon training seems to benefit shorter runs, my last two marathons have both been preceded by a 10k PB the week before.
    Hopefully a good omen for Manchester. 🤞
    Good luck in Boston. 😀

    Nice one Ben. The thing is most of us can’t imagine running at this pace, but we can relate to that feeling when you absolutely nail a race. Great job! Captured that feeling on your face perfectly of the moment you it sinks in you’ve just had a run where everything has just come together as well as you could have hoped for it to have done. Chuffed to bits for you.
