In today's video I visited the Albanian city of Berat for a half marathon race. With 4 weeks to go until my target marathon, this was ideal prep in my training. If you enjoyed the video please leave a like and consider subscribing.

Was great to see you again bro, its crazy that i know you only over a year know and seems like i’ve known you forever. On of the best things that you can achieve trough running apparently are not just the results but getting to know other people and in our case just be good friends. Thanks again bud 🙏🏻🇦🇱🇬🇧

Great to see you both back running together. I visited Albania about 3 years ago and loved it, so friendly. Definitely on the list to visit again.

Hey Kush, nice to see you again. Did you race too?😊

@kushtrimtorozi Месяц назад

@@groupsimon6501 hey Simon, i just did the 10k in really easy pace, can’t race at the moment so i just took the opportunity to have a good time in my home country and have a nice weekend with Ben and friends 😊

@christinaclementson Месяц назад

Such a nice friendship you have with Kush. I love how running does that. Good work Ben 🎉

Yeah it's great, we have so much in common its sometimes scary! Even have the same foot size aha!

Albania is a beautiful country. Deserves more tourism.

@BenIsRunning Месяц назад

Certainly is, had never thought about a visit if im honest but certainly would now.

Isn't it really dangerous?

I’m not sure what I thought Albania would look like, but it wasn’t this! It looks beautiful there. Congrats Ben

@MsTrinichic Месяц назад

Kush and Ben together again!!!! ❤❤❤

@benj173 Месяц назад

I guess I've never really thought about how much warm temperature can affect a race if its something you aren't used to. I live near Brisbane in Australia and from like October- late March, I'm running through 30 degree plus temperatures with silly humidity, and my automatic instinct when you said it was hot at 22 was "id kill to race in that!" Guess it would be the other way around for me, I would probably struggle in the constant cold/wet/overcast conditions you have over in the UK. Cracking effort mate and well done on the third place!

@robertburpee9473 Месяц назад

Great to see you again Ben, we've missed you! The best thing about running is the friendships you make, the running community is so open, welcoming & supportive. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Run Strong Ben

@joelmead Месяц назад

Great video, I’ve been to Albania multiple times and love it. Your such an inspiration for me as I’ve just started running RU-vid, hope you keep making amazing content like this ❤

@gawieloubser Месяц назад

Well done Ben. You inspired me to do my first half marathon at the age of 52 and I picked a epic one. The 2 Oceans Marathon in Cape Town, South Africa. I hope to see you in South Africa in the near future.

@kimdecker8901 Месяц назад

I was last in Berat about 10 years ago--and it looks like it's grown so much! (Except for the castle: That's still ancient and as epic as ever. ;) Ben, I love your travel videos! You're literally running all over the world!

@JavierISampedroTNF Месяц назад

Really cool town and beautiful surroundings. I bet for the mountain running must be nice too. Not a bad weekend at all and congrats on your 3rd place.

@severiner7168 Месяц назад

Looks like a great place and a really nice race! Seems that the tourism was a good warm up too. Nice to meet up with Kush again no doubt!

@mikestevenson1334 Месяц назад

Well done getting that prize money! Looks like a beautiful place for a HM. Love seeing you and Kush on another adventure =D

How do you fuel for a half marathon ? I’d love to know more about your fuelling strategies on both half and full marathon ! Love your videos, I just ran my first marathon in Paris last Sunday !

Kush and you should come to Sarajevo in Sep and run Sarajevo half. You'd stand a great chace for a win/podium there, too!

@azervejzovic8413 Месяц назад

Wish I won some race money... After lots of effort, I eventually won 1st place in one race, only later to find out it had only sponsor's gift box as a prize. No money involved.

@mikew6840 Месяц назад

Now then, young Ben, would you ever have thought 10 years back that you would be on the podium of international races?! 🙌

Hey Ben! Just wondering what your warmup looks like for a half and full marathon? Like how many miles/km do you run before the race and how long before you take off. Thanks and best of luck with the rest of your training!

Cool vid, tho how do you manage to race with a selfie stick/camera? Just the imagination of doing so seems painfull 😂

@BenIsRunning it's the 60th anniversary this year, quite a tough undulating course through the village and Ron Hill still holds the record from the first one
