- Today I raced the Reading half marathon to mark the half way point in my marathon training block for this years Copenhagen marathon. Without a taper and back to back 100mile weeks in the legs i wasn't expecting much but lets just say i was pleasantly surprised.

“I have a bit of imposter syndrome… I’m going to try to sneak below 70 minutes”
[Finishes fifth in just over 68 mins]
LEGEND! So happy for you Ben! Copenhagen funds coming your way!
No taper. Relaxed. No major expectations… massive PB. Awesome.
Ben has an almost text book running technique. Seems to effortlessly glide over the ground. Good to watch.
He stands out so much in the crowd with that form, real smooth
Great point, very natural and has put in a buttload of work, gives all beginner and lapsed runners hope :)
best running technique is either Chelimon or Kipchoge
@@oscarmunguia1104 For me It's Kenenisa Bekele
Well done Ben, the hard work in training is paying off….looks a great event there at Reading.
Ben!!! Awesome job!!! It’s such a great feeling surpassing your goals and yeah what a great venue! Keep it up!
Ah Ben that is such an amazing run and your joy really came across at the end 👏 Very well done on the PB and the Marathon target is very much insight 💪
That was awesome! Chuffed for you and so inspired to keep working on my own goals. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻
Congratulations Ben, wow what a great run. Hard work pays off really stoked for you.
Way to go Ben. Your training is obviously coming together. All the hard work is paying off. I am really happy for you and love to watch your progress.
Nice to see, am happy for u🙏❤ u have improve alot! Good luck on ur marathon🙏👍🏻
Amazing run Ben, you're incredibly talented and your hard work is paying off immensely! Watching you race and break your PB makes me miss the feeling of racing and training so much. I haven't been able to run for the last 7 weeks because of my condition so thanks for allowing us to share the journey with you. all the best for Copenhagen, you're gonna smash it no doubt!
An insane accomplishment, my favorite running channel. You rock Ben.
Congratulations Ben!! That was an awesome time!! Looking forward to seeing what you do in your marathon. This was inspirational for me since I’ll be running my marathon tomorrow and hoping for a PB as well. Thank you for sharing!!
Fantastic run Ben, so pleased for you
I'm so happy for you!
Excellent Ben!
Hey Ben, Congratulations on the amazing achievement, It's great to see you breaking a barrier you were already trying to, I think the channel is amazing, please keep it up. U are such an inspiration for me . 💪🏻❤️🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻😁
Huge congratulations Ben. We have been watching your vlogs for quite a while and enjoy them all, the parkrun series, the training videos, the reviews and of course, the race days.
I got quite excited when I saw your bib had your name on it, “I think he has an elite start,” I said to my wife which you confirmed moments later. You had no need to feel imposter syndrome, although of course it was natural to feel that and just goes to show how grounded you are, you have earned this through your blood sweat and tears.
Oh my, that moment after the race when you are just soaking it all in, I could feel it through my TV screen - 68 minutes - oh boy. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you, I cannot wait to see what comes next. Feeling very inspired.
Wicked running Ben! Stoked for you 🙌
Amazing Ben, looking forward to the race recap!
Love your content. Well done on the race. Great PB time. Keep up the great work buddy.
Well done Ben. Fantastic running and a very well deserved PB. You certainly earnt that elite spot. I can only imagine how it feels - I got a bit emotional watching! Well done again and thanks for the video.
Cracking run, Ben!
Excellent running Ben, great to see it all coming together and not a bad place to end in the stadium itself. Keep it up!
Great result Ben and excellent video 👌👌👌
Awesome race Ben mate, great to met you at the finish! You deserve a tonne of success 💪 hope to see you at some more races down the line!
Congratulations! Absolutely smashed it
congrats Ben! the hubby and I were cheering you on in our thoughts 🥳🥳
💥Performance!💪 Congratulations Ben!
Congratulations! So happy for you.
Thank you teeter totter 🙌🏻
Congrats Ben!!! That is an incredible run!🏃😱
Great running Ben, so awesome to see you show what you can do. Onwards and upwards sir!
Thank you james
What a tune up race you had, a confidence boost for the Copenhagen. Hope the recovery is going well, and time to taper. Make the legs happy as Seth would say :)
Absolutely quality mate.. well done Ben!👊🏻
Awesome, very inspiring Ben!
Brilliant run Ben! Well done. 👍
Great running Ben! Congrats on a massive Pb. The marathon traing and mileage are paying off.
Looking forward to seeing what you will do in the marathon 👍
Thank you Mike!
Amazing effort, I'm so happy for you, that's a great milestone - time for a nice recovery now.
Well done Ben, what I love about running is although our goals and speeds are different, we all know exactly what hitting a landmark goal like that feels like. I think running with faster runners will inevitably help pull you along. Must be hard to push yourself when you're miles out in front on your own.
I ran the London Landmarks half marathon last week and the winner got the same time as yours so you truly are a genuine elite Ben.
Brilliant run ben!!👊🏃♂️
Congratulations!
Awesome job Ben!!
Well done Ben, great result you absolutely smashed it! Looks like a good event I might try this one next year, I won’t be in the elite section though. Love the content 👊
Gutted to have just missed you somehow in the stadium! I ran a PB of 73:51 in my second half marathon. Current 2022 goal is to get sub 1:12:30 and qualify for London.
Congrats on the PB!
My goal is to get from a 1:43:00 to a 1:10:00 within the next 5 years or so
Fantastic run Ben, going from strength to strength, ‘elite athlete’ 😀👍
Great run.you never disappoint us.
Wish you the best in your journey to success
Cracking pb Ben chapeaux man 🤟🏼
Well done Ben👊👍
Fantastic results, great watching you become an elite runner, nice to see you using BIX too, good stuff.
Thank you John, Bix honestly has been a game changer since ive upper the milage
Great push mate! so good!
Unreal, so much untapped potential still to come! well done
Lets hope so! Thanks
Outrageous! And you even beat Kojo (although of course he smashed the V45 category). Well done, Ben.
Craaazyy, congratulations
Epic race 👏 👏👏 Well done!
Thank you Rhydian 🙌🏻
nice one. congrats fenton
Amazing man! Well done!
Thank you Vincent
Great race Ben, and big congrats on the 5th place! Was a pretty perfect race day out there in Reading I thought. 68:04 is a mad one, sure you'll smash your 2:40 goal.
well done, great result
Absolutely sensational performance Ben 👏 👌
Great work!!
Enormous! Well done.
Absolutely smashed it 👏👏
congratulations Ben 👏🏻👏🏻 you need to run cardiff half in October the event is massive !

Well done Ben.
So much for imposter's syndrome. You're the real deal. Great run Ben. Well done. And brilliant video 👍
Congrats !!! 👌🏼👌🏼
Thank you Bruno
Amazing run congrats 🥂
Yet another awesome performance. Massive congratulations on your HM PB of 68:04. You were definitely justified being in the elite group.
You rock Ben! 🎉
Amazing...Well done!
Well done! Can't wait to see what you can do with fresh legs after a proper taper!
Different level ben . Well done top man 👊
Thank you dave
Great video mate! You are so speedy!!
Thank you carla! Hopefully catch you at another event or start line before long
Well done!
Well done Ben 👍
Ben that was amazing! Your finish was magnificent. I think that elite crew around you may have given you a good kick in the can giving you a little bit more. (Btw, I bought a Coros Apex 46mm the other day. A new beginning!)
Well done!! It was fantastic weather for running on Sunday, but a bit cold waiting for the start. I'm trying to pick myself out in the blue starters around the 6:50 mark!!
Other than being a little cold it was perfect conditions. Hope you had a good one
@@BenIsRunning Great thanks. Not quite a half PB but 5 minutes quicker than my last Reading Half!
Well done Ben i really think the long distance stuff suits you good luck on the marathon
Thank you georgi! I ceratinly enjoyed this one
I like those sunny stadium shots 🤩
Comments from certain people on this video are deeply distasteful and disappointing. One elite athlete putting down another sours the whole sport. This channel is so great! Well done Ben! 👍
Well done Ben, you smashed it. Those elite lads may get used to you being up there and should have been a bit more friendly to you in the elite tent afterwards. You stuck it to them, that's how to show them.. super stuff.
congratulations!
Well done Ben
Thanks microwave!!
Fantastic time! Sixty-eight! Wow, really well done! Maybe change the name of your vlog to Ben Is Running - FAST!
Great running. Also refreshing to see a UA-cam runner having a post race burger and chips then bacon and eggs with white bread.....instead of the usual "here with my quinoa salad and kale juice" standard.
Magnifique. Bravo 👏👏👏
Well done 👏🏾
Flying Ben 👊🏁👍
Thank Michael 🤙🏼
amazing time!
Amazing performance 🏃♂️👍💪🏃♂️
Crushed it!
wow you are crazy this result is crazy!!!!!!!
Incredible PB and overall result ... wow
Well done mate!
A 6 minute PB?
When the Vaporfly 4% came out, they said:
„It must have been the shoes“. 😉🤪
I dont know about that .. I run 2.16 in marathon 20 years ago and this days with vaporfly its good if I can run under 3h marathon🤣
Amazing time Ben!
Need to adjust your predicted marathon time!,
Wow! Smashing 70 mins with no taper!!Obviously the Marathon is a different beast - and less familiar to you - but Copenhagen could be very interesting.Keep the magic coming.

Sheesh what a race!
Thank you Alex
