Congrats, that's a huge improvement. Would be cool if you made a "How to" video about creating a training plan (10K/HM/M...?), for example number of runs/mileage by experience level or target time and what kind of runs + maybe some workout suggestions as well as cross training. It's probably a lot but could be a series also.

@JTD33 Год назад

To run a PB in Boston says a lot about your fitness and what you can do on a flatter course! A great training block and a great race, congrats!

@adamsosa Год назад

Dude this madness, I remember watching your first few videos a few years ago and to see how you have progressed is just phenomenal. Good work sir!

@jeffmather5594 Год назад

It’s great to see the marathon executed so well. I’ve seen other race recaps from super strong runners and it seems they often get sucked into ‘staying with the pack’, then paying for it later. Ben’s disciplined decision to hold back and run his own race clearly paid off!

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Thanks jeff! I think i had the bad run i had in Valencia in the back of my mind. Such fine margins and im glad i made that decision in the moment.

Awesome job Ben. I really appreciate how in several of your videos you look at the lessons learned aspect and not just boast about your amazing pb. I've gotten so many good tips and really revolutionized my training thanks to you. Keep it up mate 👍

@derekahern7731 Год назад

Great recap Ben, Boston was also my first major and first time there, totally agree with your summary of Boston, I pulled it back on pace as I was ill in the weeks beforehand, happy to get to the line and enjoyed every step of it, best running experience of my life, planning to go back next year 😜 hope your training goes well for the rest of the year

@Panos_79 Год назад

Congratulations for everything you've achieved Ben, amazing accomplishments in such sort time, I'm so happy for you, I hope to see you soon among the elites of the sport. I have to add, I followed your advice of manual lapping every 5km pointer during the marathon and it was truly game-changing, along with the lap pace on the watch face it was so easy to track my progress during the race, I'm keeping that one from now on, cheers!

@KelpandFern Год назад

Great improvement Ben, its interesting that food and core have been my biggest improvements after sleep (ive always loved sleeping). After changing to a whole food plant based diet I have seen improvements in training and post-workouts/race with no other change feeling so positive. All the best on your journey and be great to see you do another ultra marathon sometime in the future.

@rych7852 Год назад

Amazing result Ben. 😎😎 Nutrition is one thing that the running community tend to gloss over. Its just "have a gel and drink when thirsty" most of the time. Selfish I know, but if you could do a video at some point about Nutrition. So like an average week with the specific meals you ate, carb loading before your marathons, during the event and even after in terms of recovery or just splurging on cake and beer after the race And really get into the details rather than "eat lots of fruits and vegetables" that other channels tend to think covers it. 😂😂

@amandawalker4510 Год назад

@KenDiaries Год назад

Great work @Powellcon! And congrats on your BQ! May I ask what program did you use for your first Marathon training?

@Powellcon Год назад

@@KenDiaries hi Ken, I modified a version of the Nike Marathon Plan. Very typical marathon plan. Built up to 100km weeks by Week 12. And then did 4-5 weeks at 100km + mileage. Two speed days a week, one reduced day at about 30-40 mins easy. And then the rest are 15-16km days. And my long runs between 30-40km.

@KenDiaries Год назад

@@Powellcon Fantastic! And Congratulations. I’m running my first too in Toronto this Oct. Will be starting training for this one probably by next week. I’d love to qualify for Boston someday!

@karvn1148 Год назад

Great video man! I eat fairly healthy for the most part but if I do fancy a donut or a treat food, I like to find a proper recipe and make it myself, which is much more time consuming than just going to the shop and buying it. This makes it easier for me to have things in moderation without feeling restricted because I don’t always have time/energy to be making donuts or cookies all the time😂😂

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Thats a great way of doing it! It still be that guy eating all the cookies before theyve had time to cool down aha

@m-dubz6538 Год назад

I think the standout thing for me watching your race was just how comfortable you looked. I’m sure running at that pace isn’t at all comfortable, but you just looked super relaxed and efficient. Reminded me (just a tiny bit!) of David Rudisha running the 800m at London 2012. Has anyone ever looked more like the complete running machine? Good luck with sub-30

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Thank you! With the marathon thats the trick i guess, run as fast but as effieciently as possible so you can hold your form in the later stages of the race. fine margins mind you :)
