Nice to see you so happy with the run! Just finished in Berlin Half with a sub 1:30 for the first time and you were always a motivation to get it done in training. :)
Awesome blog Ben, the smile on your face says it all. Sorry about shouting over you at 17km however always gonna cheer you on. Well done stay strong & thanks again for the weekend run... 👍
Who else does a gear check/sell merch whilst running a 3:40/km half marathon pace?!
Only the legend himself 😂
Yes and talking all the time a 3min40/km ! 😄🤣🤣
He must have one of those new GoPro Turbos
Hahahha. Lege.
Just imagine how fast Ben would be without the camera…
Well done! Great seeing that smile on your face and hearing how happy you were during and after. I'm predicting more smiles and happiness in London!
The smile on your face just says it all👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪
Thank you for taking us with you in this race. Lovely people in Northern Ireland and a stunning place.
Ive got my first ever marathon in Manchester in October! Ive been so inspired by you ever since I started watching you back last year. You are honest and genuine and open about male mental health, which is a big thing for me. I wish you all the best in your races going forward. Hopefully meet you one day too!
Thank you. Hope everything is going ok in your world. The more everyone talks about it, the better we’ll all be. Sending positive vibes.. 🤗
Absolutely. I started therapy a few weeks ago after ignoring my own mental health for many years. Slowly but surely going in the right direction. Running has been a constant for me over lockdown and Im going to be doing more of it going forward
53 just started running again this morning. Last I ran I was 21. Joined a group for Streak-temper. ( run every day September at least 1 mile a day) Signed up for my first race ever on thanksgiving. Sarah was some of my inspiration to get back out.
goodluck for London Marathon .. All the best Champ !
mate im so sorry to hear you've been struggling with mental health and anxiety.
I've battled those demons myself and know how physically crippling they can be in so many ways, notwithstanding the fact they are mental issues.
You seem like an amazing guy and God bless you for putting yourself out there to tackle your demons.........you're a bloody good runner as well mate ;)
Class to see a packed start line! Sunday morning was perfect weather in NI. I got a 41.40 10k pb along the Belfast coast.
Congrats! Looking forward to your marathon performance. I am sure it will be awesome!
As for myself, at 41yo I'll be running my 1st race of my adult life this Sunday, a 10k trail, and my 2nd a half marathon the Saturday after. Getting nervous :-). You have been an inspiration since I quit smoking and started running in february of last year! Thanks, and keep getting it done, Ben!
Wishing you all the best Jonathan. You’ve got this!! Forget about any times and just go out with a smile and have fun. It will be a PB for sure!! 🙌
Thanks for that great tip,@@BenParkes! Indeed, when I think of just enjoying the experience of these first races instead of having to race my best possible times (my younger colleagues are trying to make them into competitions 😀), it does take a lot of the pressure off! I'll just go out with a smile thinking about your kind words! Enjoy your running!
Im about 8 months after a surgery and in the same boat, it is amazing how just feeling like your back to normal is the best feeling in the world.
Sending some love from Melbourne, Australia. We are facing more extensive lock-downs over the coming months. As much as I felt anxious just seeing you in a crowd that packed at the start of the race, I love others are able to this at the moment! Keep up the great work, Ben.
Same. They have like 700 covid deaths a week now so it's absolutely wild to see this. And there are comments on this vid from people saying things like "look at the dopes wearing masks" and it just makes me shake my head. I guess they've become numb to it or something.
Yo i missed seeing you running bro! Im super excited for GNR now! Keep safe keep smiling :)
How on earth do you keep a smile on your face when it hurts that much absolutely amazing 👏
Really nice video seeing you smile keeps me motivated. 😀
Wonderful! Locked down here in Sydney and no races happening, not even parkrun :-( But still able to run on own's own or in pairs. Grateful for small mercies.
Brilliant video. Really glad to see you enjoy yourself at a great race in beautiful Northern Ireland. Come back soon!
Superb time and with a Go Pro!! You must be so pleased with that Ben - so happy to see you smiling.
The Races are back, The Smile is back, The Pace is certainly back....Ben Parkes is back!! 🙌🏼
Well done Ben you looked like you enjoyed that! Keep up the great work both of you 💯
Thank you Ben, seeing your videos really helps me get out the door everyday and train especially in lockdown New Zealand. I really hope you smash it at London!!!
I am in a country that is still battling covid and being constantly stuck in lockdown and seeing this video has really helped me to remember that there are better times to come.
Thanks for the awesome video.
Hope you’re staying strong Michael.. better times ahead 🙌
Fantastic video and so inspiring. It’s really great to see you running with such a big smile on your face and enjoying being out there doing what you love. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for your lovely comment Ian. Most appreciated
Great video Ben and great run. Really inspiring and great to see you loving what you do. Makes me look forward to my half marathon on Sunday.
What a crazy start^^ Good to see you running with that big smile on your face, this immediately puts me in a good mood :)
Feeling the same sort of anxious feelings recently mate. Watching your videos is a big motivation for me to push on. Ill be running my first Marathon in London, hoping to get a 3:30, a lot slower than yourself but I hope to see you at the end somewhere anyway. Keep it up man!
Thank you for making this vlog a great insight and what a pace whilst talking and holding a camera.
Great to see some lovely places too. Well done 👏
From just up the road from there, in Antrim Town! Such a feel good video, so glad you had a great time over here!!!
Brilliant 👍 great to see this as I'm running it this year. Glad to see you enjoyed here too
Great running Ben,so positive every step of the way,keep up the good work you do on the channel,
Wishing you all the best on your London marathon 👊🏻
Superb run and just perfectly paced - some great splits there! Well done Ben + all the best for London 🙌
Thank you Richard! Hope all is well with you in NZ and life is getting back to normal 🙌
@@BenParkes Really good thanks! Currently in Lockdown, but still getting out for some runs and hope to do Auckland Marathon in a couple of months time🤞
Happy to see you in Norn Irn!!
Absolutely amazing @ben Parkes inspiring injury recovery
Nice to see you back smiling.
I will be in London for the Marathon after 2 and a half years of waiting. Hope to catch you there to thank you for your amazing job!
Great to see you back racing with that smile on your face. I also have london and am battling injury also. Less than 5 weeks and the tough times are real. This marathon has been a loooooong time coming!
Stay strong Peter! Hope you get it sorted. See you in London!
@@BenParkes how did the race go for you? I had a fantastic day enjoying the crowds and came back with a 3.05! So delighted considering the 2 months of injury leading in. Sub 3 is in me, I know that now 😀 I hope you had as good a run and came out happy! Looking forward to the next video!
Great to see you smiling throughout Ben, and a super strong run too! Can't believe how crazy that start was but nice to get chatting. All the best for London!
Yes. The start was mad! But all worth it in the end.. well done Stefan! 🙌
Ben - great stuff, absolutely fantastic video mate 👍
Well done on a cracking run and also for giving a good video of what looks like a great place and a great race.
It’s really good to see you both smiling and happy, we are here and we support you mate 👍
Really enjoyed it, one your best, love the positivity. Well done Ben and Sarah, good luck for for London!
Damn son..... Well done mate. Incredible and you made it look easy chatting away and smiling at the same time. Keep it up and thanks for the encouragement 💯💪
As always , awesome video mate keep it up 👍
Great run! you looked totally controlled and comfortable the entire time, split it perfectly time-wise.
Absolutely loved watching this and seeing the big smile back on your face Ben massive kudos
So happy for you Ben your coming back strong 💪🏻 very nice vlog keep inspiring 💪🏻
Great to see you getting it done with a smile on your face! I will be looking for you guys in London on 3 October.
Nice run Ben! I did Sälen trail marathon. And I did reatch the 5 houer!! New pb is 4:59:57 Im damn proud, I got cramps in both calves from km 22. Was only possible to run faster for shorts periods. But now I know I can take a better time next year =)
Nice to see the big smiles from you Ben! Also glad you had a nice time here in Northern Ireland.
Feels like old times are back again well done Ben looks like a fab race to pencil in for 2022
Southampton half marathon this weekend can’t wait keep up the good work Ben!
Awesome to see you back Ben doing what you love 💪
You're helping motivate a TON of people here Ben. Keep the videos coming! Gettin' it done!
Brilliant run Ben. Love the positivity as usual. Stay well and keep posting 😀
Well done dude glad you've got tour mojo back
My next race is the Scottish Half Marathon on September 19th. My first race since I took up running again back in March, definitely looking forward to it and more to come. All building towards my first full marathon at some point next year. Love your videos, very inspiring and motivating.
Well done Ben! It does feel good when people call our your name when running. Love it!
We’re all pleased to see that big smile Ben. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well done Ben, superb effort and great vid. Also, great message for people struggling with mental health issues👍🏻
Awesome Ben, you keep up that positivity! Love watch your stuff
This video is dope. Thanks for another great race video. And the Indian restaurant towards the end… yum. :)
Would have loved to see you at the UTMB!
Mate it is so good seeing you run at that pace agai. and basically just being able to race and seeing life getting back to normal over there. Hopefully us Aussies can follow suit.
I get tired just thinking of that pace lol. Running the ABP Southampton Half this weekend. Looking forward to the crowds and the buzz again. Love the videos and positivity. Keep it going Ben.
Class well done dude running commenting in the same breath way to go
Amazing seeing the support out on the course. I can't wait to get back to events. Taunton 10k at the end of the month will be my first. So looking forward to it. Great effort Ben.
Good luck James!
Well done Ben. Great to see a bit of Northern Ireland too. I hope to get there one day - including a visit to that curry shop!
COngrats Ben on smashing that back, you even had time for a kiss!
Great work as always Ben!
I'm working hard to get to your level oneday and both of you motivate me to get out there to get it done!
Gotta agree with you, that Indian is incredible 😍😍 glad you treat yourself after a hard effort and see you in London
Wow what a beautiful run, congratulations mate. Got relatives in NI, great place 👍
Great video and really motivating!
But how in the world did no one tell him to get rid of the bugger hanging in his beard even well after the race!
Please keep these cool race with camera videos coming 😁
Great video Ben, looks like ye had a great time in Northern Ireland, Poetry in Motion🏃♂️💪🇮🇪🇬🇧
Awesome run, you made it look so easy, great to see you back on it.
Awesome blog Ben - got me emotional 😭❤️
Well done Ben, great running and great video 🎯👍
Wow , running pace 3, you can still smile and talk like that…..congratz Ben
Well done Ben. A great improvement from the Big Half. I went past you at that event and finished slower than my usual time due to training being hampered by hamstring issues but I’m ok now and training g has improved so you’ve inspired me to have a go this coming weekend at Dorney Half (what was meant to be the Maidenhead Half but was moved)
great video, you inspire me so much to get out running and keep getting it done
Great work! I’m doing MK Half this weekend as well, hoping to get under 1:20 if I can in preparation for my first marathon, London🙂
I was there too and I saw u but I wasn’t sure it was you I wasn’t your sub till now. I saw in past some of your video that’s why I recognise you but wasn’t 100% sure and did not want to approach you and ask just in case I made mistake. Next time I will say hello. Brilliant race but I didn’t have time to enjoy it because I was to focus to beat my PB. Target was last PB -1 or -2 minutes. Finally I cut off nearly -6 minutes but I don’t remember too much from race it was blurry tunnel for me. Find some one running the similar speed in front , speed up to him rest for 2-3 min find another target and repeat. My new PB is 1:36 💪
Congratulations on the new PB!! That’s a great time! 🙌 maybe see you again soon!
Great content Ben very motivational could only imagine running a half at that pace I’m running the Bristol Half on the 19th of September aiming for my first sub-1:30!
Well done, Ben! Cracking performance!
Well done! Happy for you!🎉. Food looks great!
thanks for being such an inspiration and making great videos!
Great to see you in the North.
You are a FIGHTER!
Ben come down South to Dublin sometime!
Amazing job! I am doing my first ever 10k race soon in the Hague!
Good luck Julian!
Hi Ben. Were you in the crowd at the MK festival of running today. If not you have a doppelgänger in Milton Keynes. Anyway, was a great atmosphere and so good to be back out on the race circuit! Am putting your 5k level 4 plan into practice from this week 🙌
Great running, Good luck with London Marathon
Nice work, I got my first sub 1.30 now hunting down 1.20
