Hey Ben! I hope you're feeling better by now! Be careful and don't push too hard as you heal up! I'm looking forward to sharing our conversation next week! Keep pushing safely!
Thanks Paul, I'm feeling much better than I was so just hoping I can not get ill and get out there Saturday. Feels like I haven't raced in ages! Great to hear, look forward to sharing it 😀
Hey Ben, I hope you're feeling better soon! It's a wise decision to skip the race and take care of your health, especially with two other races planned for the year. I'm glad to hear that your lungs felt good during your run in Hove Park and that you were listening to your body to avoid pushing yourself too hard. I'm looking forward to seeing your training video for the South Downs Way 100 in June. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see your coverage of the Brighton marathon on your channel!
Thanks so much Mihai. Hopefully I can get back to running and more regular levels of fitness soon, fingers crossed! Only two weeks til the 50 miler now so just trying to get well for that. Thanks for the support 👍
Why I'm Not Racing
🙂
"So I listened to my lungs (with my good ear)" 🤪 Sorry mate, couldn't resist. Hope you're back to 100% in time for the next race 👍🏻🏃♂️
Haha, had to be done 😅 Thanks Mark, hoping to get the other ear back in action this week!
A shame Covid demolished your current race plans. It's nice to run a parkrun in the high 20s and enjoy the vibe. Good luck with the direction you're taking the channel. We have a little idea....
It's some odd bug I think as I did a Covid test and this was negative. Still lingering but hopefully it goes away soon! Ah nice, look forward to hearing what idea you've got for your channel 👍
Get well soon, Ben. Hopefully antibiotics will help with your infection. I think I could do with antibiotics too, because I also have an ear ache and chesty cough that keeps me awake at night. But can't be bothered trying to make an appointment, it's very difficult and stressful nowadays. Watching your video now.
Thanks Olga. Hope you're feeling much better soon. There seem to be so many horrible lingering bugs going round at the moment!
Rest and recover well, it'll pay off. I'm so glad I had 2months off over Christmas as I'm back at it now and going well. SDW50 will be amazing regardless of goals and I look forward to the SDW100 as well. Let me know when you want to chat about it!
Thanks Francois. Having a decent period of time for recuperation is really important. I'm hoping not racing this time will mean I can enjoy the SDW50 and 100 more and get round 🤞😀 That would be great to get you on soon. Will drop you a message for April if that works for you?
Very nice video, very interesting dear friend, thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙏
So glad to hear you're on the mend Ben! Not being able to run completely sucks. Good idea not to race though mate. Focus on the main goals instead of the nice little extras. Looking forward to things to come on the channel and I will keep an eye out for young Louis at the NDW50. 😎🤘
Thanks Ben, hoping to slowly build again this week but just pretty exhausted! Fingers crossed can get back on it and start focusing on training again to get to the start line for the 50 and 100. Cheers buddy 😀
Sorry to hear that you've been ill and unable to run. Shame that your first run post-illness was in rather rainy conditions! Although not an easy one to make, it was a wise decision to DNS considering the upcoming races you have lined up. Looking forward to hearing how you're preparing for those!
Thanks Chloe. Yes not ideal conditions for my first run back 😅 hopefully taking a bit of a rest and not doing the marathon will mean I can get better and training properly again for the 50 and 100. Fingers crossed!
Sorry to hear not feeling well but a marathon is not one to do if below par. Is Hove Park the original parkrun in Brighton? If so I did that one back in 2010!
Thanks Tim. Yes that is indeed the original Brighton Parkrun! We've now got 5 but the one at Hove Park remains the classic. I tend to call Preston Park my home one though I'm pretty much equidistant from Hove Park, Hove Prom and Preston Park
GET WELL SOON Ben!!!! Glad you could get out and enjoy a run!!
Thanks for the good wishes Bev!
Illnesss is taking its toll on a lot of folk at the mo. Roll on SDW50!
Definitely, lots of bugs and horrible things going around at the mo. SDW50 should be fun, just feel knackered at the mo 😅
Lovely to meet you ben, hope you are feeling better and are race fit soon 💪
You too Louis, great to chat and hear about your NDW50 plans. Hope the training continues to go well 👍
Recovery is on - well done Ben 🏃🏻♂️👊
Thanks Michael. Running is a bit laboured at the moment but hopefully easing back in will make it easier! Hope all's good with you
Glad you are getting over the infection Ben. Very sensible not to race. Hope the improvement continues and you are able to achieve the main aim of the year.
Thanks Peter. Yes I thought it would be better to think about the bigger picture of what I want to achieve this year so hopefully it'll pay off! Hope you're keeping well
Ugh, bummed to hear about the health issues Ben, probably a good decision to do the parkrun instead. Those were certainly not optimal conditions, way to get it done. Looking forward to the upcoming content.
Thanks Sage. Yes, not the best conditions for the first run back 😅 Hoping to get back to a more regular training pattern this week but will just see what my body is saying and rest more if needed. Thanks for the support 🙏
Sounds like a good idea to get a bit of rest. Need to be careful with ear infections. Good luck with the interviews too.
Thanks, yes just going to take it a bit easier so hopefully can get better for the upcoming races!
I'm looking g forward to see how your 50miler goes in 3 weeks and then the 100miles come June. 👍
Class vid, Ben. Great stuff.
Thanks Neil 👍 Hoping to get out there racing again soon!
Oh buddy. Stay safe i'll hopefully see you out there for the SDW50 with any luck somewhere on the course !
Cheers buddy. Sorry to not see you for the Endurance Life yesterday. Hopefully I'll see you out at the SDW50!
Good that you're back to running.
Thanks Dan, hoping to find some more rhythm this week!
Nice video my friend ❤
Thanks 👍
Get well soon Ben, great video, looking forward to more content from your, must admit I needed my Harrier Jacket yesterday too 😂
Thanks Terry 👍 Definitely, the jacket came in very handy yesterday. Well pleased with the Harrier jacket 😊 Hope your training has been going well this week
Yes all good, tapering for Brighton now
@@waterfallstudios5746 good to hear, not long to go now! Will be out on the course to give you a cheer on the day 👍
