    A fun series is a great idea. A lot of us runners can be consumed by times all the time. I was inspired by this and drove to mountains today for some trail running and then to a reservoir for another run. Real scenic and really enjoyable....... and I didn't look at my watch once. Going to do this approach til Christmas before back to business! Great job!

    My local Parkrun! Try the Lanhydrock one if you're in the area again... just a few miles up the road. Even more beautiful, but much tougher! Eden takes me around 25 mins these days, whereas Lanhydrock takes me more like 28 mins.

    Your a genuine nice guy and you inspired me to get back into running after a 5 year break, while training for my 1st marathon race I only decided to run the marathon I booked in the beginning of the year 8 weeks before 😬 but I managed to run a 5hour Snowdonia marathon!
    Really enjoyed your videos during my training and preparations 🙏❤️🏃🏃

      I found that by only having a short time to get my legs ready I looked at alternative options, I found hypnosis possitive running sessions on you tube every night 10 days before the race and cold tubs for recovery really helpful, 🙌🏃 keep getting it done Ben

    Loving the video as always, Ben. Gotta say the wind is bad but it's the heat/humidity combo that does it for me - just feels like you're running out of oxygen the further you run! Light rain is nice enough and dipped under 20 for the first time at Parkrun when it was snowing :). Probably one of the few people who actually likes running in Winter...

    Don't perform well in anything above 20 deg C.
    Hate really windy conditions. Especially if I'm not on a loop so never get the benefit of tailwind. My 5 mile commute is west > East and then back again later. It's amazing how many times the wind changes direction and I get the worst of it both ways. I just tell myself its strength training!
    Don't mind the rain. You can only get wet once.
    The cold is fine by me. I'm one of those nutters in shorts and t shirt in mid winter.

    Very well done boy. I think a Insta 360 or GoPro would be perfect for you to run with, more smooth material.

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  5 років тому

      I have a insta 360.. just haven’t used it yet. The standard GoPro works well for the time being.. but know a 360 camera would be epic. Going to be using it when we’re next in the mountains. I haven’t used stryd.. as just prefer using heart rate to train by. Not discounting it at all.. just haven’t had time to fully look into it. All the best!

    I love running in the rain. I really struggle running in any temperature above 25 deg C. Breathing in warm, moist air is so uncomfortable - I remember you saying you found it ok, so any tips for overcoming this?

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  5 років тому +1

      From all the studying I’ve done I think some people are genetically better than others.. due to how you sweat. I’m ok up to about 40 degrees C.. of course I can’t run the same speeds then, not even close.. but can still run ok. If you struggle it’s usually best to simply avoid it the best you can, running early or late etc. Sorry I can’t really help more.. will do some more research soon!

      It’s usually best to try and get faster as the race goes on.. always easier to say that, than actually do it! So many people go off way to fast in all races.. so sticking to your goal pace at the start will pay off come the end.. if you’ve got enough energy to speed up then that’s a bonus!
