Definitely support Mary choosing Ben's workout for the week👌
Just going through the comments deleting any like this 😂😂 just a joke there 😊
This vlog put such a smile on my face ☺.Guess what I am doing tomorrow. Can't wait for Sunday.Mary well done for being brave and attempting your ultra 👏.
Ha ha cheers Tony. Always got to include Mary’s laugh 😂
Her laugh is like a joyous metronome.
Ha ha I absolutely love her laugh and how even she finds it funny 😂
Absolutely, Mary needs to set Ben's workout for the week...We all commit to sharing this channel with a friend if you do!!
Not you as well, Mike!! This is getting a bit serious 😳😂
Great content 👍🏼 Yes to Mary taking over training for a week 🤞🏼🤞🏼
No Lex! Just no! 😂
Totally agree that Mary should set Ben’s workouts for at least a week!
Can I also say this episode proper made me smile! Cheers you lovely people, keep doing what you’re doing! 🤙😎
Thanks Dai. But I have to hide this comment so Mary doesn’t see it 😂
@@ThisMessyHappy 😂🤣 like your optimism Ben, but I think we know that a partners intuition is second to none. Good luck 😉
I just love her, she makes me smile 🙊 💕
Ha ha thank you. Me too 😊👍🏻
Brilliant video as usual guys, always look forward to Sundays & Wednesdays!! 🙌
Ha ha thanks Jamie! That’s really kind of you to say 😊
Support Mary💪 also thanks for making us a part of your family! Love your combined workouts and effort 💕
Thanks so much. You’re all our extended family 😊
I look forward so much to your videos. Excellent advice and humour too. Yes to letting Mary set your sessions for the week Ben.
Not you as well, Claire! Oh god. You know what next weeks vlog is then... 🤦🏻♂️😂
Great routine. Found the hip dips very difficult with straight arm. Did them with bent arm on floor to start with.
They’re so hard aren’t they! Hugely beneficial though 💪🏻💪🏻
Haha loved the laughing at the end, that happened to me last weekend, luckily no one filmed it 😅 and yes Mary you should plan Ben's training!
Oh god not another vote. Gonna have to hide all of these. Yes it’s an addictive laugh isn’t it! 😂
Love this workout. Thanks for sharing. Did it this morning with the Interval Timer app and music in the background.
Woop woop 🙌🏼 glad it helped. Thanks 😊
Brilliant video, Mary set me of as well😂😂😂 yes Mary to set Ben's week, make Ben plead for mercy👌🤣
Ha ha thanks Simon. It’s that laugh isn’t it! 😂 so addictive
Another great vlog, thanks so much Ben & Mary. So funny the last segment. Cant wait till Sunday!!
Cheers buddy. Should be a good one today I hope!
I was going to make a serious comment about how good the 10min s&c daily workout was, then I just curled up laughing when Mary “lost it”. sooo funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha it’s such an addictive laugh isn’t it 😂
Good to see you do strength work👍so important
Thanks mate
Great video. Mary's laugh really brightened my day :D
Ha ha thank you. More of the same coming today 😂
100% Mary should be setting Ben’s plan for a week
She already is 😢 I have a turbo session called Welcome to Hell tomorrow 😭
Best video in a simple way.... Love you guys.... ✌️
Thanks so much 😊
I laughed so much. Yes Mary, definitely set Ben's training plan for a week 😂
Exciting ultra. I'll never run an ultra or even a marathon, but I respect folk who do. I enjoy my other activities too much (bicycling, swimming, yoga, weight training, karate, etc) to dedicate that much time each week to running.
Fair enough. Gotta do what you love! 😊
Fantastic I will try these exercises 😊
Was out on track today with coach ,it’s great fun ,slow ,4:37 for 1 km x 3 sets but really enjoy it ,
Nice work! 👍🏻💪🏻
Great video and great workout suggestions... I'm one of those runners who ONLY does running, but I've been thinking about adding strength training at least once a week (for starters). My plan is to decrease my mileage on that day (so drop down to 5 or 6 miles) and then do some strength training. Again, great video! Love the creativity!!!
Thanks Chad. You’ll be surprised what a difference it makes!
I just did this and felt a lot better for it. I added a set of calf raises and a set of straight leg deadlifts for a bit of an extra leg boost. Going to keep it up daily as I can’t be bothered with heavy weights a few weeks out from a marathon and IM training
Good man. Yes it’s really benefited us. How’s training going for Copenhagen?
@@ThisMessyHappy it’s going well thanks Ben. Doing a marathon on Saturday as I was planning on doing one to get it in the bank mentally before Copenhagen but that got cancelled, I’m going to run it anyway. YOLO
Great video guys. I've been doing a 45 minute strength workout every week for a few years but as you say it can feel like a bit of a bind. I do feel as though it does makes a difference but after watching your session I must say I'm tempted to try it out.
Yeah give it a guy, Mike. It’s working for us 👍🏻😊
Just found your channel. Great ideas for strength & conditioning and you two are super cute!
Ha ha thanks Susan and welcome to the madness 😂
Another great video guys thank you.
You both always make me smile great chemistry and good advise too
Thanks Darren. I think people will miss car chat if we ever stop it 😂
Great video loved the ending😂 This is just what I need to add to my 5k a day in March .Mary should definitely do your training 👍😃
Oh dear, far too many people saying Mary should plan my training!! 😂 thanks so much 😊
I'm all for a Mary Takeover of Ben's training sessions!
Great video!🌟
No this won’t do at all 😂
@@ThisMessyHappy are you scared she'd do a better job of it?😆
No I’m scared she’ll give me hill reps 😂
Mary ought to have a go choosing Ben’s workouts for a week!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
No that won’t do at all 😂
PYLLON ! 😊 , cant wait to see it!
Woop woop 🙌🏼
100% Ben should let Mary plan his sessions for a week 👍👍
Nope. No. Damn 🤦🏻♂️😂
@@ThisMessyHappy what's the worst that could happen 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️😂😂😂
Been looking forward to seeing this. :) (Now I'm sold on trying it).
Good man. It’s working nicely for us 😊👍🏻
@@ThisMessyHappy Day 3 tomorrow. 👍👍🙂
Hi Mary you will love doing an ultra. I am doing a virtual ultra over the Easter weekend with Run Zone South Africa. So you run 50k on Easter Friday 30k on the sat and 20k on the Sunday. So a 100k over the weekend. You get an awesome medal and t shirt. I am 65 years of age runner living in Zimbabwe.
Wow that’s awesome! We’re so excited for her. Going to be amazing 🤟🏼 more power to you, Dorothy 😊
If you don't do specific strength training for running, won't that strength naturally develop purely through just running. Accepting that it will just take longer. So for someone who runs for enjoyment and not aiming at competitive races does it really matter too much.
I don’t look at it like that. I look at it like s&c keeps me doing what I love and is therefore necessary. You could get away with just running but no, it’s not the same. Otherwise all pro’s etc would just run. They don’t do it because they’re pro’s. they do it to keep being able to train. That’s how I look at it too. I’m just an amateur but a stronger body means being able to train more consistently 😊👍🏻
@@ThisMessyHappy Noooo. No excuses now ! 😀
I vote yes to Mary setting Ben's sessions for a week:)
Nope. I vote no 🤪😂
Haha! Worth a try. It's fun watching you guys. Great chemistry
Another brilliant video guys, but Ben were you just rocking Adidas bottoms with a Nike top 🤦♂️ 😜 that is and always will be a no no, it's borderline illegal, close to doing a long run on any day apart from Sunday.
Mate you should see how many times I wear matching socks... (the answer is none). I’m a renegade 😂
Great video I have tried it all and I am not good. But will keep going or crawl in.lol thanks thanks mike in Texas.
Ha ha thanks Mike. Keep it up 👍🏻 😊
Can't wait to start using this morning routine guys! Thanks so much for this! I have also been thinking a lot lately that I have been running a bit too hard so I have decided to go with MAF training. Would you say it's a good idea? BY THE WAY I will save this video when I'm feeling down to watch Mary's laugh and get in a better mood! 😂
I did maf but got so fed up ,for me ,so slow
@@BobBob-uv9fq how long did you try it for? Did you notice any pace improvement? I did one run this Monday and I went from 5:20 per km to 6:30 which was painfully slow for me but I keep reading that if you stick to it the benefits are great.
@@solidsn2011 yes ,I never stuck to it ,so stick in ,just did not have the patience,I have changed my training regime though going for overall ,body strength,and cardio ,53 yrs at moment,and want strength going into my 60s ,I stopped being so precious about my times and just really love doing a variety of things
This is the most enjoyable video I’ve watched for a long time. #seedgate
Ha ha cheers! Just wait until you see tomorrow’s video! Mary upped the ante 😂
100% Mary should plan bens workout for the week!!
Nope. Hide this comment too 😂😊
@@ThisMessyHappy haha 🤣
I pressed subscribe when I realised I was laughing at the laughing...
Ha ha that’s how we get you! Just one big loop of Mary’s laughter. Like a spiderweb 😂
Loving these vlogs and look forward to the content. I too do my mobility strength like this but its my pre-run workout. Add a few weights for squats and my bridges and banded clams. Takes about 30min but is part of my warm up for the run. I did have a sore back recently so also added some back mobility from physio to start it all of with. Great principle. I like the idea of the ultra but sadly in NZ timing might not suit unless I do it at night?
What’s happening over there, Alan? Lockdown or are you pretty free right now? You guys have done so well dealing with it over there 🤟🏼
@@ThisMessyHappy we're free right now and free to go about our business though they encourage us to scan a qr code places we go but people are slack. Masks on public transport. No community cases at all, just citizens coming back to country in quarantine for 2 weeks. So all sports are on with crowds.
You guys are hilarious!! :)
Ha ha thanks Rebeka. The problem is that we think so too 😂😂
You won't believe it knees about ready I think, soon be 8 weeks since my last run but really hurt by ribs on Tuesday at work not sure if cracked a couple or pulled a muscle, I'm thinking a muscle! 🤕 lol was lifting something heavy up high with someone and something went like pop in my left side of my ribs and since then it's been painful even going up thr stairs lol
Nooooooooo! This is such bad luck but hopefully just a blip, James! 🤞🏼
@@ThisMessyHappy been a blip for the whole of the last year, I'm 34 but my body is just falling apart. Lol in a way it's a good thing now I have a reason not to go running and mu knee should be ready then.
Yes Mary has to choose Ben’s workout for the week...
Oh dear lord. There’s too many of these to hide... 🤯😂
Ben, you have my sympathies...😂
Ha ha thanks buddy 😂
Ps. 😂😂 Yes Mary should set Bens training for the week
Thanks for this Connor! Because of people like you that is now what next weeks vlog is! 😂
Hey Ben, I have been following you since very long time. Really appreciate your work. I have to prepare for 1 mile race till end of upcoming April. Should I do a practice mile on daily basis or thrice a week ? Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
Lot's of Love ❤️
I would say every other day. Supplement with some strength and conditioning 👍🏻😊
One more comment which I always wonder. How does one build on from these type of workouts in a structured way much like a 12 week run program? Adding weights and times but to what point and do you start from scratch again in the next training block?
I’m actually a strong believer that you don’t necessarily need to build things like this. Consistency is key and you could tweak a few of the movements but no need to build them really
30 sec per exercise is already hard, 25 yo here haven't run for years
Start with 30 and build to 45 over time?
@@ThisMessyHappy nah I'm already at end of week 1 of the program, down to stretching right now 😊
Oh, I got the wrong video in mind.. definitely will try!
Question, Ive been feeling like my arms start feeling uncomfortable while I run with a 90degree angle in them, any tips to maybe stop the discomfort ?
It might just take some time to get used to. All muscles eventually just get used to movement and if they don’t in the long term then you sure know about it! 😊
Mary I think you should get Ben to an Insanity workout
No Way!!! 😂
@@ThisMessyHappy Are you declining a challenge?
@@northernninjarunner5506 I wish! Thanks to gits like you Mary is now planning my week of training 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
@@ThisMessyHappy Mary 👊
Mary what is Ben putting in you’re ☕️ 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Ha ha she doesn’t need any extra madness 😂
