Who's run the Great North Run?? Is there any better half marathon?!

@Pwhahaheha 4 года назад

Ben Parkes I ran the junior great north run came fourth and I saw you on the millennium bridge

@BenParkes 4 года назад

Yay! Well done, that's a great result. Hope you had fun running the route.. it looked so much run around the river!

@Pwhahaheha 4 года назад

Thanks you looked great at the end near the sea

@ryandarricott8815 4 года назад

I ran it there is nothing like it in the world :) Your training plan landed me a PB as well which i'm pleased about, i did however run the Bristol half marathon weekend just gone and it really puts in perspective how great the north run is, the Bristol half was good but no where near the North run. Was a great day!

@BenParkes 4 года назад

Great to hear about your PB Ryan! Congratulations on the result and well done on all the hard work that must have gone to get the result!

Mo Farah pulling off a 59:07 for the win. Do you think He'll be able to compete with the big boys in the marathon come 2020?

@Qieth 4 года назад

Ben, I've become quite fond of your videos, so when you take a few days off, I really start to miss them! I thought the bridge was called Emergency Window for a second...

@carlablundell9413 4 года назад

I did the GNR this year. It was my first HM and the longest distance I've ever ran. I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is amazing and I didn't stop smiling the whole way. Ended up coming home and signing up for more events and hopefully will be doing it again next year. Look forward to seeing your run tomorrow. I bet you'd finished before I'd even started 😂

@BenParkes 4 года назад

To be fair...Im not vegan, but a Vegan Cornish pasty or a Vegan Sausage roll is lovely!

@paulkirkland9860 4 года назад

@@kevinscott4938 both Starbuck and vegan sausage rolls are good, I just think it was funny as Ben makes fun of people for having Starbucks, while never having one. The same as people make fun of vegan sausage roll without having one.

There's actually many road races with many more participants: 1-A run for the Pasig River (Philippines) - 116000 2- Bay to Breakers (USA) - 110000 3- Cursa el Corte Ingles (Spain) 109457 etc The Great North run is only 15th.

I over sleep and miss my train to Stockholm ( 500km) get a place on the next train so I can catch up with my sister and take the boat to Finland ( Helsinki) meet up with our cousin. And I relaise I have forgot my running west no big deal. But I also forgot my running shoes.. In to a store, get new shoes and run a marathon. my feet was in a really really god shape, 1 tiny tiny bless on my little toe

Hi Ben, in regards to your gel strategy, what is it normally for a marathon? Great video again, your recovery from the trip was smoothly done😆

@BenParkes 4 года назад

Usually 5 gels for me.. which I do on distance normally in a marathon. 8/15/22/30/35 ish.. in K's. Glad you liked it James!

@runningwithmarc 4 года назад

@runningwithmarc 4 года назад

Ben Parkes of course I’ll be watching it. I’ve just got back from chamonix from some doing some steep stuff, so happy to watch you do the flat stuff 😂😉

@TheTailgrab180 4 года назад

Great vlog, looking forward to part 2. I ran the GNR for the first time the steady incline was tough really enjoyed it. The vitality big half is still my favourite

@BenParkes 4 года назад

Big half is certainly much flatter. I’ll be there next year for sure! The inclines at great north were certainly more Thani was expecting.. really hard about mile 11!!

@iberiksoderblom 4 года назад

Thanks for the vlog. Personally I just cant handle races with many runners. Just been running i Copenhagen with 25000 runners. I think it's 10000 to many... So many people stresses me and also makes running at a fixed pace, close to impossible, for me. I think those big events are good for the running-sport, but if I wanted a sport where I feel squashed and cramped, I would have chosen rugby 😁

@InFeSs 4 года назад

I always eat burger or pizza after good race :p Dont wanna risk day before :)

@northernninjarunner5506 4 года назад

Yes a Southern Softie for sure with gloves in September. Look at Event Clips you never need to use safety pins again. Did my first GNR booked up for next year 👊

@kegoangoango 4 года назад

Run video as usual. If you only built up to 30-35 miles per week and are running a half in 3 weeks, do you recommend a 10k the day before as part of your "tapering"? :) Seriously, though, with that mileage I was only looking at a half hour on Monday and Wednesday, with 20 min on Friday (Saturday is race day). Is that too low?

@BenParkes 4 года назад

Hey! Yes.. 10k the day before might be a bit much.. :-) Maybe 45 mis on Monday, 30 in Wednesday then 15-20 on Friday if you're feeling good. Remember to try and do these runs on the easy side. All the best have hope it goes well!

@DarthLazer97 4 года назад

@@BenParkes Cheers Ben! You're definitely right, one of the most stressful journeys in the end. Was 30 seconds off my PB (17:57) but considering I was quite ill I was fairly happy in the end

@ppeters9802 4 года назад

Does anyone else use gels for a half? I've never gone above a half marathon racing, and I don't use gels at all (aiming for 1:13 in a few weeks for reference). Was just surprised to see you planning on taking in so many gels for the race

@BenParkes 4 года назад

I probably take more than ‘average’ .. although as you will see tomorrow I dropped a gel early on, so didn’t have it at the end when I needed it!! Aiming for that time you obviously know what works for you though and now isn’t the time to try adding gels, so close to the race.. but maybe experiment in your training after the event. All the best for 1:13!
