    That has to be the most demoralizing thing in the world.... you're working your hardest, giving it everything you've got, then some dude blows past you chatting on a GoPro as if it's a light stroll in the park! Haha! I love it! 😂

    Okay so a longer than usual comment...
    The first marathon I ran was London 2018. Before my run, I kept looking for a decent video of someone running the marathon and couldn’t find anything. I found a few for New York but nothing but a time lapse for London! So you have no idea how many people you’re actually helping by putting this content out.
    Secondly, this video brought back all the exact memories that I have of London - 5k, 10k at Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf (painful!), run dem crew, and the finish. That incredible finish! Literally the best in the world...
    Thirdly, Ben your production quality is so good mate! Love the sound, edits, overlays. So so good man and such great progress from when you started videos. I always thought we needed someone like the ginger runner for the UK. And I think we might just have one!

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  5 років тому

      Thank you for all the kind words. When I started making videos about 11 months ago it was completely from scratch.. I had to teach myself everything. So it's really nice to hear how you think they are improving.
      I had the same problem.. and could only find that time lapse video video, but nothing that showed the incredible atmosphere.
      Hope your running is going well! All the best :-)

    The faces of the people you overtake, whilst carrying a go-pro and talking to the camera! :) Poor buggers. I ran a 3:45 and felt like I'd won the thing. I'm in awe of you guys up at the front!!

    Bloody hell, a marathon in 2 and a half hours at conversation pace and smiling throughout. You're some man, great achievement.
    It looks like a great race. Seems they mess it up though by having the finish line in a fairly subdued crowd spot.

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  5 років тому

      Yeah. There is so much security around the finish.. it’s a bit quiet right when you cross the line. But still.. the other 26.1 miles are amazing!!

    I just passed 10k with 40min. I'm happy as hell. And I know many people are better but... U run whole marathon with pace like 10k 36min. You run with gopro. Chatting. I'm jealous. You're beast. Congratz! Great video! Love it. Think about doing tips for 10k.
