Hello David! Thank you for your entry, I'm pleased to say that the random comment picker has chosen you! Please can you drop me a message via my website (www.benparkes.com) and I'll sort out getting the shoes to you. Congratulations!
I'm mostly looking forward to my Grampa breaking 35 minutes on his 4th parkrun. He's only just started running at 75 years old. His first ever running session was an actual parkrun! He's crazy!
Wore my pair for the first time tonight… intervals on the track. They are super comfortable but do not give you that extra boost you seem to feel with the vaporfly’s or other carbon fiber plate shoe. I think they will be a great training shoe for interval workout, and when it comes to racing slide on the vapors for that extra fast race feeling.
Hey Ben, I just started my high school career this past XC season and I have ran a 16:38 as a freshman. And the indoor track season has gone well so far I’ve ran a 4:36 qualifying for nationals in the mile and 9:46 in the 2 also qualifying for Nationals. I am really excited where my journey of running will take me!! With the excitement of your videos I have enjoyed running more and more every single day.
Hello i'm from malaysia. I'm a 43 years old runner and for this year my running goal is i want to break my record 43m/ 10 km in a race. I already follow this channel from last year and its very interesting and also help me a lot to improve my running. Iwill always support this channel..Keep it up..
I felt exactly the same. The biggest downside was simply it didn't compete with their own Next%. Otherwise it is a neat and comfortable shoe that can do a lot for less than the other supershoes.
I just started running in mid-September of 2021 after about 60 lb of weight loss. Attempted running previously but always had injuries to slow me down. But now with my weight down I've been able to run consistently. Started off with a weekly mileage of about 5 mi and now I'm up to about 18 mi per week! My main goals for 2022 are to reduce my 5K time to sub 25 minutes, 750 mi for the year, and run my first 10K hopefully in under an hour. I have been loving watching your videos since I started running, they have really helped and pushed me to continue running better and faster. Continue the amazing work you do and good luck with your upcoming marathon!
Looking forward to a full race calender again. And most importantly, Valencia marathon this December where I am going for my long term goal of a Championship qualifier before I turn 40. My 40th is December 22nd so Valencia will be my one and only shot at the goal. Current PB is 2:47:10, so 7 minutes 11 seconds to find in a year in order to hit the target. Game on!!!
3rd marathon at Manchester, on track to take my time down by 1:30:00 ish. Got back into running August 2021. I’m 2 stone lighter than I was with a new outlook on life. Running really changes how you see the world and yourself. Best wishes all in 2022.
Love the videos from you and sarah, watch your hours of content while on the treadmill doing my long runs for this years Brighton marathon. I’ve had Crohn’s disease since I’ve been 15 (now 42) but haven’t let it stopped me, I enjoyed every running event I can do and hoping to do a PB marathon under 3.30 this year and a nice pair of trainers would help! If not me, hopefully someone deserving gets them! Good luck everyone! Jamie
This year I'm most looking forward to heading to the Dolomites this summer to run the Alta Via 1 through the mountains over 4 days! Coming back from 4 weeks of almost no running with a knee injury and Covid has shifted my perspective on running away from training for fast times and towards finding all the joy and beauty I can from the sport I love!
Hi Ben. Feels like there’s lots to look forward to this year with racing back on - I’m particularly excited about the South Downs Way 50 in April and being able to do lots of park runs with my six year old daughter. Thanks for the great content as always 👍🏻
Hey from Australia - I'm 16 years old and my goals for 2022 is to complete my first Marathon... It's a big goal but i hope that i can complete it. I have been following your plans so I'm feeling comfortable already to achieve these goals. My second goal is to get at least 1 other person into running and show them how fun and relaxing this sport is!
This is my first year of actually running… before this year I only ran for sport purposes. I’m absolutely loving it and your channel is giving me a real direction to my running and advice on what to focus on. I’ve already done 3 races and plan on doing at least 1 a month this year with the biggest plan being a Half Marathon in September 💪🏻
2022 will be my 13th Great North Run and the goal is a PB. 7 months to go, using your videos and a training plan off the website to help me be much more prepared this year!!
Just getting back into more committed running after a few years as a weekend warrior - I hadn’t even realised how much I’d missed it. My goal is just to carry on enjoying my running. You and Sarah have been a huge part of hooking me back in; thank you so much!
Me and my good friend have been running rivals for nearly 5 years now, and I’ve been training super hard during the off season, and we have a fun Dustbuster mile with the team this Tuesday, and I am over the moon excited to test my Ability’s compared to 6-7 months ago
After a horrible tibial stress fracture kept me sidelined for the last three months of 2021 and the first two months of 2022, I’m most looking forward to taking care of my body, staying healthy, and getting down toward a sub-2:30 marathon PR. 💪🏻
Back to running after 7 years - did C25k now working towards HM in May. Did a 10k few weeks ago and PBed in my daily shoes. Enjoying the channel, really nice motivation.
I'm running my first marathon this year, and my goal is to just have fun doing it! I have loved training for it and am enjoying all the PBs that have come with running higher mileage!
My first ever race. Struggled with my weight all my life then in lockdown I started running and gym. Now I’ve managed to do a half marathon in my own time and now doing my first ever 10k race!
I love the Streakfly much better than the Alphafly and I think they are better than the Vaporfly for shorter road races. I am happy to trade the full carbon plate for the better agility that the Streakfly provides. I ran my best 5k in the Streakfly and am aiming to go sub 20 with them.
Running my first marathon this year. I have been following you before you broke your ankle and find your tips incredibly useful, especially the garmen screen setup that I probably would have never known any other way. I find your journey through your recovery and mental health very inspiring and a reminder that it happens to all of us. Keep up your great videos!
My main running goal for the year is the classic sub 3hr marathon. my secondary goals are sub 1:20 half and sub 16 5k. Thanks for all the amazing content Ben
I’m most looking forward to my first ever running races! Started running in 2021, now training for a 10k race, a half marathon and marathon! Running is the best thing that could’ve happened to me and from when I got started till now your channel is my number one channel to go to for any kind of running advice! :) Thank you Ben! Greetings from Germany!
I just started running October last year and I enjoy my progress a lot. My main goal of this year is firstly to run my first half marathon and secondly to run a sub 90min half marathon this year. Furthermore uk size 10 is my size! Cheers from Denmark
Hi, I'm just a beginner and I've only been running for two years, but I'm most looking forward to fulfilling your training plan and getting closer to my dream - standing on the podium in my favorite races. I follow the motto: know your limits and then humble them! I'm glad I discovered your videos which are a great inspiration and driving force :-)
Hey Ben, This year will be my first marathon and I want to have a pace of 8 mins per mile so a 3:30 marathon. I bought your racing plan and have been following it for the past 5 weeks. The race is in April 30th here in the US. These shoes look awesome and would love to do some local races in them and see how they do with me!!. Thanks again for all your great videos and everything you do for the running community. I will let you know how I do in my marathon in 10 weeks!!!
What I'm looking forward to in this year's running? Achieving PBs in 10 miles and half marathon to go with the ones I managed for 3K, 5K and 10K last year.
If you see these on special, get them! They're perfect for speed sessions and a good way to avoid adding mileage to your race day shoes outside of an actual race. They're good for speed sessions but soon as you run over say 12km you'll start to feel it in your feet as they are low to the ground so like I said if you see them on special get them. I'd say the same for Nike tempos, on special they're so worth it for speed and threshold/tempo runs.
I'm running my first ever marathon this year, in Berlin, for my 50th birthday. I started running with couch to 5k at the age of 47. Ran my first HM's at Reading and Bournemouth last year. Going for a big one in '22
Hey Ben, I’m honestly just looking to get healthy this year. I’ve been injured the past two years and mentally I’m finally starting to love it again. You’ve been such an inspiration for me in how open you’ve been with your own mental health battles and I’m gonna keep getting it done!
I'm most looking forward to the Amsterdam Marathon in October - my first ever race abroad! I'm a size 10UK so fingers crossed for the Streak Fly especially after such a good review too! 😁🏃♂️
Awesome video Ben. I'm looking forward to being able to run my first half marathon at Beachy Head, Sussex at the end of the year. Running has given me so much, great for my mental well being and for my general health. Also showing my kids that perseverance pays off.
Looking forward to my first ever running races! Started running in September 2021, now training for an upcoming 5k race! Running is the best thing that could’ve happened to me and from when I got started till now your channel is my channel to go to for any kind of running advice! :) Thank you Ben!
I owned a pair of neon green Nike streakfly many years ago and loved em! I know they're pretty flat but I just felt unstoppable in them even during easy runs. Plus they just looked so good :)
Hello Ben, there are plenty of things to look forward to this year, but the one thing I’ve been looking forward to doing the most was going to the Nationals Champs and racing in the 3km. Good luck training for your upcoming marathon.
This year I have slightly missed out on my cross country season due to injury however I am looking forward to running in the Scottish Isles Peaks race this may. This race is a mixture of sailing and running lasting around 48 hours where I will be competing as a team. Currently I am trying to build back up fitness for the race in which the running route will be the longest distance that I have ever raced.
My main running goal this year is to complete my first 100 mile race. (I'm using the Ben Parkes advanced ultra plan for my training, naturally.) Love the videos as always!
Biggest goal this year is run my first marathon - just ran a half so I am looking forward to starting a training block for the full monty! Love your channel Ben; as a Brit living in the US its great to see you run around my home town of London! Keep it up mate, cheers!
Hello Ben, Florian from France. Thanks again for the good quality content. Goal of the year is to end the Paris marathon around 3h15, below will be a very good performance for my 1st marathon. Wish you all the best
This year, i’m going for my high school’s 42 year old 800 m record for 15 years boys at 2:08. Thanks for the most helpful review of the streakfly on youtube!
Hi Ben , really looking forward after following your training plan to running the Manchester Marathon with my Dad who is 57 years young! He has helped motivate and support me through life and now it’s my turn to help him through his next challenge.
Hi Ben. Started running just under two years ago. Couldn't run a mile without having to stop. I've now got my first half marathon in just under four weeks!
My main goal this year will be to become a physical training instructor in the belgian army, which will involve loads and loads of running... Love your videos, they have helped me a lot to get faster and better!
I’m most looking forward to racing again. My running has fallen off a lot and I realized that I need the big goal of a big race to keep me on track. Wish it weren’t so but that’s the reality. First 50 mile ultra in November almost on my birthday :)
With gluteal tendinopathy killing my hip even after walking longer distances, my goal is to get myself up and running again and most importantly to have fun running. Daily stretching and hip strengthening hopefully will make me to the finish London Marathon in October.
After overcoming a 7 years knee injury, I rehabed and slowly built up my base again over last 2 years, and started running again seriously a few months ago. I am looking forward to break my 10k PB (41mins 13 seconds) which was set about 9 years ago.
Hi Ben, I'm just looking to finally shake off a hip injury that's plagued me for a year now so I can run and live pain free! I'm still running most days but always with this constant niggle. MRI booked in a couple of weeks so we'll see what comes of that. Thanks for all the videos!
Hi Ben, I'm looking forward to running my first major marathon in Boston in April after running 3 seconds under qualifying time in Manchester last year in 2:59:57! Love the channel keep up the good work
Hi Ben, my target for this year will be simple, i hope i can archieve 200km frequently per month till june and only after that i will try to put speed training in my menu, and of course i hope i will be injury free this year, your video will help me accomplish my target, thx Ben!!
I always get something out of your videos. I'm really looking forward to the brighton marathon this year I used your plan last year and got a pb which was 3:07 I couldn't always stick to it but it worked for me cheers Ben
Hello, I’m looking forward to running my first half marathon this year which i’m super excited for coming from someone who never thought they would enjoy the art of running
Hi Ben I’m most looking forward to running my first marathon this year and am loving using your channel as my base for training , general advice motivation and support !
Looking forward to staying healthy so I can enjoy running again! Hoping to return to sub 17 5k shape at some point after several years of injury related lack of running.
Love the review, this year i decided to train for my first two races a 10k this summer and half a marathon in autumn. I got hit hard with corona this christmas, which gave me the motivation to begin running to boost the recovering of my lungs.
Trying to break 78 mins in the half marathon by the end of the year! Got a long way to go but with a bit of a graft I should get there. Keep up the good videos Ben👍
We have our first little one due in August, and I'm looking forward to (attempting) a first park run with a buggy! I don't think i'll be setting the world alight with any PBs, but certainly a different challenge...all round!
Looking forward to some fast road races with people around... missed those for two years now! Keep on the great reviews! Goal to run my first Marathon and a sub 1:30 half!
This year im most looking forward to finally (hopefully) hitting my sub 45 minute 10k after last years attempts where derailed by a torn hamstring which i am only just coming back from - aswell as just hopefully helping and inspiring as many people as possible to start running
In 2022 I’m looking forward to breaking the 1:30 mark on the half marathon. It’s going to require 27s off my current PB, so I’ve added the Vaporfly to help get it done!! Thanks Ben, another great video!!
After running the first sub 3 marathon in January it is now time to keep on the good flow with running (almost) every morning at 5 and let time show have it will develope. Is higly inspired by your videos!!!
Can’t believe the chances of winning a pair of streakflys in my size! I’m training for a sub 80 min half marathon and also for my first marathon ever. Very excited and always watch your videos for more information and motivation. Thanks again 💪🏾
I've been training for the past 6 years to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Through Covid postponements and a qualifying standard casualty I'm still running strong and as committed as ever!!
Hi Ben, I’m 16 years old and from the 🇳🇱 I just started running a few months ago and have been really improving. 5k pr is 17:30 and 10k 36 ish. I always enjoy your good quality videos! This year, I’m ready to improve and win some races! Maybe the streakfly’s will be a good option. Thanks for the great content!
Can't wait to take part in the Kyles 10 miles once again, have run it every year since it began in 2010. Would love to see how well I could go in a pair of top trainers
I'm looking forward to simply getting out and about more and enjoying the escapism that running brings. I'm time short and my aim is to keep running 40k+ weeks.
Hey Ben, im looking forward to running a half marathon in the autumn. I’m recovering from a really bad injury and I’m hoping to regain my form! Love your content and good luck with your running goals!
I'm looking forward to start running again after rolling my ankle at the beginning of the year. Only been in the UK for a year now so look forward to discover some new races.
Mine is to finish Boston in April. London 2021 was my first marathon ever and managed to secure that BQ time and have been completely obsessed since. Hoping to go even quicker this time round!
Hi Ben and Sarah, looking forward to the summer months when the weathers a bit better, marathon training has started and I can get some long runs in whilst soaking in the sunshine!
Hi ben great review as always..for this year I think the most I been looking forward to from running is to run free without an injury...2021 is a disaster year for me fill with injury so for this year no PB no races just want a completely injury free and fun running experience again
I'm looking forward to... Just getting out there again! I don't have any races lined up but I can't wait to start ramping up my weekly mileage as it gets a little warmer. I'm usually training for half-Marathons and this year I might go for a late-season Marathon.
Melbourne half marathon at the end of the year trying to break 1:25 for the half. Getting fitter and only been running for a year so I have been improving a lot!
Hi Ben Awesome video and such a thorough review. I live in Copenhagen, and will be doing my first marathon here come May 15th. Having watched your London Marathon video, I am looking so much forward to running in my home town with all the crowds cheering along. Hopefully one of many marathons to come! Keep up the good work - Cheers!
Excellent review Ben!! Running goal this year is to run a 1:25 Great north run back on the usual route.

I'm mostly looking forward to my Grampa breaking 35 minutes on his 4th parkrun. He's only just started running at 75 years old. His first ever running session was an actual parkrun! He's crazy!
Love this!! Well done Grampa Kiki!!!
Wore my pair for the first time tonight… intervals on the track. They are super comfortable but do not give you that extra boost you seem to feel with the vaporfly’s or other carbon fiber plate shoe.

Continue the amazing work you do and good luck with your upcoming marathon!
Looking forward to a full race calender again. And most importantly, Valencia marathon this December where I am going for my long term goal of a Championship qualifier before I turn 40.
My 40th is December 22nd so Valencia will be my one and only shot at the goal. Current PB is 2:47:10, so 7 minutes 11 seconds to find in a year in order to hit the target.
Game on!!!
3rd marathon at Manchester, on track to take my time down by 1:30:00 ish. Got back into running August 2021. I’m 2 stone lighter than I was with a new outlook on life. Running really changes how you see the world and yourself. Best wishes all in 2022.

Excellent review my goal this year is for the wife and I to run our first half marathon.
Back to running after 7 years - did C25k now working towards HM in May. Did a 10k few weeks ago and PBed in my daily shoes.
Enjoying the channel, really nice motivation.

Good luck Justin!
Hi, my running goal is marathon. A year ago I started running and I really enjoy it. Your videos motivate me, thank you. Pavel from the Czech Republic
Running my first marathon this year.
I have been following you before you broke your ankle and find your tips incredibly useful, especially the garmen screen setup that I probably would have never known any other way.
I find your journey through your recovery and mental health very inspiring and a reminder that it happens to all of us.
Keep up your great videos!

I’m running Boston in April for my 16 marathon. Love to watch your video to get inspired to keep going reaching 50 years of age.
Hi Ben, Goal is as simple as possible. Win the race and cross the finish line first. It doesn’t matter of distance. Just pure win 👊
Hi, I'm just a beginner and I've only been running for two years, but I'm most looking forward to fulfilling your training plan and getting closer to my dream - standing on the podium in my favorite races. I follow the motto: know your limits and then humble them! I'm glad I discovered your videos which are a great inspiration and driving force :-)
Hey Ben, This year will be my first marathon and I want to have a pace of 8 mins per mile so a 3:30 marathon. I bought your racing plan and have been following it for the past 5 weeks. The race is in April 30th here in the US. These shoes look awesome and would love to do some local races in them and see how they do with me!!. Thanks again for all your great videos and everything you do for the running community. I will let you know how I do in my marathon in 10 weeks!!!
I’m looking forward to finally breaking the 20 minute barrier at Parkrun after breaking my ankle a few months ago. Even more motivated now.
What I'm looking forward to in this year's running? Achieving PBs in 10 miles and half marathon to go with the ones I managed for 3K, 5K and 10K last year.
If you see these on special, get them! They're perfect for speed sessions and a good way to avoid adding mileage to your race day shoes outside of an actual race. They're good for speed sessions but soon as you run over say 12km you'll start to feel it in your feet as they are low to the ground so like I said if you see them on special get them. I'd say the same for Nike tempos, on special they're so worth it for speed and threshold/tempo runs.
Two biggest goals: Lofoten Ultra trails 50 miler in June. Will be a stunning race for sure.
And then Copenhagen HM i september for that sub 80 min PB.
I'm running my first ever marathon this year, in Berlin, for my 50th birthday. I started running with couch to 5k at the age of 47. Ran my first HM's at Reading and Bournemouth last year. Going for a big one in '22
Hey Ben, I’m honestly just looking to get healthy this year. I’ve been injured the past two years and mentally I’m finally starting to love it again. You’ve been such an inspiration for me in how open you’ve been with your own mental health battles and I’m gonna keep getting it done!
I'm most looking forward to the Amsterdam Marathon in October - my first ever race abroad! I'm a size 10UK so fingers crossed for the Streak Fly especially after such a good review too! 😁🏃♂️
Awesome video Ben. I'm looking forward to being able to run my first half marathon at Beachy Head, Sussex at the end of the year. Running has given me so much, great for my mental well being and for my general health. Also showing my kids that perseverance pays off.

This year, I'm most looking forward to my first marathon at Brighton in April. Excited and terrified in equal measure!

Hey Ben, main thing I’m looking forward to this year is trying to get a sub 1:30 half marathon! Love the channel!

Thanks again for the good quality content. Goal of the year is to end the Paris marathon around 3h15, below will be a very good performance for my 1st marathon.
Wish you all the best
This year, i’m going for my high school’s 42 year old 800 m record for 15 years boys at 2:08. Thanks for the most helpful review of the streakfly on youtube!
Hi Ben , really looking forward after following your training plan to running the Manchester Marathon with my Dad who is 57 years young! He has helped motivate and support me through life and now it’s my turn to help him through his next challenge.
Hi Ben. Started running just under two years ago. Couldn't run a mile without having to stop. I've now got my first half marathon in just under four weeks!
My main goal this year will be to become a physical training instructor in the belgian army, which will involve loads and loads of running... Love your videos, they have helped me a lot to get faster and better!
I’m most looking forward to racing again. My running has fallen off a lot and I realized that I need the big goal of a big race to keep me on track. Wish it weren’t so but that’s the reality. First 50 mile ultra in November almost on my birthday :)
With gluteal tendinopathy killing my hip even after walking longer distances, my goal is to get myself up and running again and most importantly to have fun running. Daily stretching and hip strengthening hopefully will make me to the finish London Marathon in October.
After overcoming a 7 years knee injury, I rehabed and slowly built up my base again over last 2 years, and started running again seriously a few months ago. I am looking forward to break my 10k PB (41mins 13 seconds) which was set about 9 years ago.
My biggest running goals for the year are to break either my 5k or half marathon PR. In a perfect world I would manage to do both :-)
Hi Ben, I'm just looking to finally shake off a hip injury that's plagued me for a year now so I can run and live pain free! I'm still running most days but always with this constant niggle. MRI booked in a couple of weeks so we'll see what comes of that. Thanks for all the videos!
Hi Ben, I'm looking forward to running my first major marathon in Boston in April after running 3 seconds under qualifying time in Manchester last year in 2:59:57! Love the channel keep up the good work
Hi Ben, my target for this year will be simple, i hope i can archieve 200km frequently per month till june and only after that i will try to put speed training in my menu, and of course i hope i will be injury free this year, your video will help me accomplish my target, thx Ben!!
I always get something out of your videos.
I'm really looking forward to the brighton marathon this year I used your plan last year and got a pb which was 3:07 I couldn't always stick to it but it worked for me cheers Ben
Hello, I’m looking forward to running my first half marathon this year which i’m super excited for coming from someone who never thought they would enjoy the art of running

I’m going to be running Oxford half marathon later on in the year which will be my second ever half!! Great video as always 🔥
Running goals for the year. Beat all my PB's and have more consistency after a year of injuries last year.
Looking forward to staying healthy so I can enjoy running again! Hoping to return to sub 17 5k shape at some point after several years of injury related lack of running.
Did my first half marathon this weekend, looking forward to doing another another one in a few months to improve my time!
Love the review, this year i decided to train for my first two races a 10k this summer and half a marathon in autumn. I got hit hard with corona this christmas, which gave me the motivation to begin running to boost the recovering of my lungs.
Trying to break 78 mins in the half marathon by the end of the year! Got a long way to go but with a bit of a graft I should get there. Keep up the good videos Ben👍
We have our first little one due in August, and I'm looking forward to (attempting) a first park run with a buggy! I don't think i'll be setting the world alight with any PBs, but certainly a different challenge...all round!
Looking forward to some fast road races with people around... missed those for two years now! Keep on the great reviews! Goal to run my first Marathon and a sub 1:30 half!
This year im most looking forward to finally (hopefully) hitting my sub 45 minute 10k after last years attempts where derailed by a torn hamstring which i am only just coming back from - aswell as just hopefully helping and inspiring as many people as possible to start running
In 2022 I’m looking forward to breaking the 1:30 mark on the half marathon. It’s going to require 27s off my current PB, so I’ve added the Vaporfly to help get it done!! Thanks Ben, another great video!!
Hi Ben & Sarah, this year, I'm mostly looking forward to getting back into,the runs, especially Great North run,let's get it !done
After running the first sub 3 marathon in January it is now time to keep on the good flow with running (almost) every morning at 5 and let time show have it will develope. Is higly inspired by your videos!!!
Can’t believe the chances of winning a pair of streakflys in my size! I’m training for a sub 80 min half marathon and also for my first marathon ever. Very excited and always watch your videos for more information and motivation. Thanks again 💪🏾
I've been training for the past 6 years to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Through Covid postponements and a qualifying standard casualty I'm still running strong and as committed as ever!!
Hi Ben, I’m 16 years old and from the 🇳🇱 I just started running a few months ago and have been really improving. 5k pr is 17:30 and 10k 36 ish. I always enjoy your good quality videos! This year, I’m ready to improve and win some races! Maybe the streakfly’s will be a good option. Thanks for the great content!
I’m running Chicago in October. Hoping to get some good training shoes for that in the future. Great update on a new shoe. Thanks Ben.
Can't wait to take part in the Kyles 10 miles once again, have run it every year since it began in 2010. Would love to see how well I could go in a pair of top trainers
Look forward to my first half marathon, hoping to finish in around 1:40, but crossing the finish line is the main goal.
I'm looking forward to simply getting out and about more and enjoying the escapism that running brings. I'm time short and my aim is to keep running 40k+ weeks.
That's my size! Great! Thanks
This year will be a year to get back to good shape after these 2 years of pandemic.
Hey Ben, im looking forward to running a half marathon in the autumn. I’m recovering from a really bad injury and I’m hoping to regain my form!
Love your content and good luck with your running goals!
I'm looking forward to start running again after rolling my ankle at the beginning of the year. Only been in the UK for a year now so look forward to discover some new races.
First Half-Marathon and Duathlon... goal is to complete both and still enjoy running after!
Mine is to finish Boston in April. London 2021 was my first marathon ever and managed to secure that BQ time and have been completely obsessed since. Hoping to go even quicker this time round!
Hei Ben, my big exitment for this year is running the Boston marathon and my aim is to run under 3:15. I really like your channel, keep it up. 🙏🏻
Hi Ben and Sarah, looking forward to the summer months when the weathers a bit better, marathon training has started and I can get some long runs in whilst soaking in the sunshine!
Hi ben great review as always..for this year I think the most I been looking forward to from running is to run free without an injury...2021 is a disaster year for me fill with injury so for this year no PB no races just want a completely injury free and fun running experience again
I’m hoping to try and break the 3 hour mark on my marathon and raise a few quid for my daughters therapy who has cerebral palsy. Love the reviews.
I'm looking forward to... Just getting out there again! I don't have any races lined up but I can't wait to start ramping up my weekly mileage as it gets a little warmer. I'm usually training for half-Marathons and this year I might go for a late-season Marathon.
Melbourne half marathon at the end of the year trying to break 1:25 for the half. Getting fitter and only been running for a year so I have been improving a lot!
Hi Ben
Awesome video and such a thorough review. I live in Copenhagen, and will be doing my first marathon here come May 15th. Having watched your London Marathon video, I am looking so much forward to running in my home town with all the crowds cheering along. Hopefully one of many marathons to come!
Keep up the good work - Cheers!
Hey Ben, lots to look forward to this year... Ticking off another major in October at Chicago with a BQ time would be the absolute dream!
Did my first half marathon at weekend in Brighton. Looking forward to doing my first full marathon in October!
