    Well done for digging in and carrying on, hard to walk and then get back on it. Proper grit. so many would have just called it a day.

    I love your spirit man! So many people lose the fun and enjoyment of sport the better and more competitive they get. So good on you for not forgetting the moment and taking it all in. I really enjoy your videos. They have been a breath of fresh air in this world full of negativity.

    Wonderful to see you can't achieve your time race goal, but still enjoying the marathon with a smile and positive attitude. Well done mate. Congrats the best is still to come.

    Nice to see you and Meg at the finish in your disguise! I’m on about my 15th marathon and still learning and still PB’ing at 42 so you’ve got plenty of time to do yourself justice at the distance which I’m sure you will.

    Well done Ben, been following the journey and always a pain when it doesnt go to plan. I know you’ll just pick up and get on with it but do give yourself some rest and thinking time to reflect on what’s been from where I’m sitting a really good year. All the best for 2023.

    Amazing attitude. Sunday wasn’t your day but you put in an incredible block of training and your future across the distances is very exciting. It was great to see you at the start and I know that frustration of stomach issues very well. You’ll come back stronger in the next one I am certain. Also, absolutely loved this video. So nicely put together. Such a great edit and you caught some amazing moments. Recover well and good luck with the next build 👊

    Tip (from Marius Bakken’s marathon plan) - take an Imodium an hour before start - keeps the stomach settled through all the gels, sports drinks etc. Really works

    I was there and wasn’t quite my day either. Great route, crowd, city etc, but unbelievable lack of toilets. Every runner knows the pain of mother nature hampering a run! I couldn’t go pre-race as the queues for the portaloos were too long, then had to wait until mile 13! Savage!

    Can we give a shout out to Meg for being such a supportive partner. You can tell she is so proud of Ben and really enjoys supporting him through his running journey. Well done Ben for still managing to run a sub

    Ben this was very inspirational. I'm quite new to running and seeing how you dealt with it throughout the race by being so positive was really fantastic, especially when as viewers we could see how much you wanted this in the build-up. It puts perspective on the importance of health over results and I need to try and remember this when I enter more events.

    Ben, just really really respect you so much. Meg is a joy to see as well. You are so humble and your channel and running are really getting so much traction, so fun to watch. A sub

    Absolutely hats off mate, so refreshing to hear runners just taking it on the chin, no bollocks , on to the next one. Running is bloody hard mate and you are at the sharp end of it and will definitely learn and get that

    That is such an impressive response to things not panning out as planned. Massive respect for running what is still a time mere mortals like me can’t even aspire to, and doing it with a smile on your face!

    Nice one ben, really enjoyed your videos on your journey to the Valencia marathon. Gutted for you but you still carried on. You have inspired me to start taking running more seriously now. " Aspire to run, run to inspire " 💯

    Thanks Ben and Meg! Love the channel and have been really inspired by your humble, helpful and fun manner. Was super impressed by the way you responded when the cramps hit. That you kept going and kept smiling was awesome. Looking forward to your next shot at a sub-

    What a fantastic mentality Ben. Having Meg by your side all the way is amazing to see, you make a great team! Hope the recovery goes well, you'll get that target!

    What a brilliant attitude to have. Realising that the goal time wasn’t achievable on the day but then having the strength of mind to carry on and enjoy the experience is really awesome. Well done to Meg as well for being No.1 supporter. Thanks for sharing.
