Some great advice! Just makes you hungrier right?! Thanks for taking the time to watch this Andy, been following your channel for a good year now so was very excited to see you comment 😂 all the best in your next training block
love the channel! glad you made a video showing one of the races that doesn't go so well. There's definitely a tendency on UA-cam to wanna show off only the PB's, Keep it up!
Yeah thank you Kyle. It’s important to be honest and for me it just didn’t go to plan but as I hope you saw in the vlog, I was still overjoyed to be racing and finish the half. There’s always a next time :)
I had to rewind that there! You put malt loaf in the microwave! 😱 Well done with the race, not the time you hoped for but still a good effort & you seemed in good spirits at the end Ben 👍🏃
Nice run bro❤🙏👍🏻 u are in good shape! That problem with stomach can happen everyone! Nice to see u not give up and u finish the race! That builds your mental and psychological skills ..
Thanks buddy. Yeah I just couldnt shake it. Very happy with how quickly i flipped the disappointment of stopping into what felt like a lap of honour aha!
@@BenIsRunning 👍🏻if you are interested in coming to Kenya when this corona have blow away and training you are more than welcome here .. you can stay with me and my friend's farm, which is located between Iten and Kaptagat , I have a small apartment in Eldoret to stay in to..
Really well done! Your 5km and 10km splits were excellent. It's a shame that your efforts were cut short after 10km, but to be honest I really admire your positive attitude - a lesson for us all.
Half marathon debut and you're aiming at 70 minutes?????? what the f***????? :O Gutted for you that you never got it mate, but 1.23 is still an amazing time, so big kudos for that!
@@BenIsRunning yeh i gathered it wasn't your first rodeo.......the fact that you can hit a 1.23 demonstrates that you're not your average runner. All the best for your next attempt mate, i look forward to the raceday vlog! :)
Hi have you ever had the feeling in your feet where they start to become numb? Usually the front half of feet. Always happens to me around the 7km mark 😔 if so what do you do to fix it? cheers
I’ve not had that before. I’d recommend looking at your footwear as that may be your problem. Running stores are great for figuring out those sort of issues 👍
Great job for your first half! Such a shame when these things happen but its part of racing, we take these experiences and go again! Well done

Even with the walking you still ran a great time. I could never run that fast, ha!
Thank you! I was still very happy with my time, thanks for your support 👊🏻

Well done for getting it done Ben, you were on 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks chris. Was feeling great but you never no whats going to happen pushing it to the limit. We go again :)
brill vid mate gutted for your goal but these things happen its the nature of the beast, stil a great time !!!!
Thanks buddy, appreciate the support! :)
I was actually at the same race but doing the marathon! If I had seen your channel beforehand I definitely would have said hello
Ah cool! How did you get on? Hopefully see you at another race soon :)
Yeah definitely! I ended up getting 2:50 - a little slower than I wanted but the marathon just felt like such a long way on the day haha
Well Done Ben, don’t worry about the pain mate! You’ll smash it next time!
Cheers Connor
1:23? Wow, that's pretty dang impressive. And walking?! Nice work!
Thanks kori, was on for about 1:12 through 10km but happy with the run still! Hungry for the next one
So proud of you for finishing!
Thanks darling! No way I was giving up 👊🏻
Nothing worse than a pain whilst running. Still smashed it 🙌👏
Great heart Ben, next time 💪
We could have a contender of fastest youtube runner!!! Quick questions, How do you have a PB if its your first half?
Cos it's the fastest time he's ran a half. Your very first race of any distance will always be a pb.
aha! My pb was a time trail format race during covid lockdowns here in the uk so I'm taking it :)
That’s a really good point! I’d love to know who the fastest UA-cam runner is… maybe Adam Tango Holland? Not a huge following but rapid!
Half marathon debut and you're aiming at 70 minutes?????? what the f***????? :O
Gutted for you that you never got it mate, but 1.23 is still an amazing time, so big kudos for that!
😂😂 I’ve been running for a good few years now but Covid cancelled all my races. Thanks though, was still happy with the time👊🏻

@@craigward7691 cheers buddy! I have a few 10kms booked and a half towards the end of the summer so fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Oo malt loaf with butter in the micro! I’m gonna try that
Maybe don’t 😂 stomach cramps on the day cost me a Pb 😂
Very tasty though
@@BenIsRunning lol true. I always run fasted so the malt loaf will be for afterwards 😁
@@its_just_Lola sounds like a plan 👍
Mum, if you're watching, you slowed me down 😂 Good effort in the race. Hopefully no pains next time 👍🏻🏃♂️
Thanks mark, 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Laces too tight as feet swell a bit
You got what is called a side stitch which fast runners get. Lots of non athletic doctors don't know about this
Just couldn’t shake it. Never experienced pain like it but hopefully just a stitch like you said and can race again soon 🤞🏻
Just watching now and you didn’t help with the drafting?
Sometimes you just got to sit in and hold on
Whats your personal best in 10k?
