Seriously, with all these RU-vidrs running New York Marathon, Ben must by far be the best of them. 2:43 is by any standards a extremely good time. 227 place out of 50.000+. Mindblowing.

nope, there's a fair amount of 220 time.

Such an inspiring video! I was there too and LOVED every minute of it. I did it in 3:58, but will keep working hard to improve as you did through the last 15 years ❤️

Well done Julie! Great to hear you loved it too 🙌

Brilliant stuff! What I like about running is that even we're not in the same galaxy ability wise, I can still relate to everything you're going through. :)

@50Something 6 месяцев назад

No kidding! I ran a 28 minute 5k today and felt like a rockstar 😂. The worst thing we can do is compare ourselves to others, especially guys like Ben that are so fast.

@manwerama 6 месяцев назад

@@50Something true! I barely scraped together my one and only marathon, and I still know what it's like to hit the wall or to lose almost a year of progress because of an illness. Some things are just universal. 😂

Amazing achievement! The fact that you ran that course in 4h 11m when you were 15 years younger is a testament to your dedication to fulfilling your dreams through hard work and persistence. Kudos to you Ben, you are an inspiration!

@malcolmcornelius7215 6 месяцев назад

Running a very good time & still giving a commentary, I don't know how you do it mate! Looks like it was an amazing experience, so thankyou for taking those of us that can only dream of making it to NY along for the ride ❤

@soccergalsara 6 месяцев назад

it's all relative to his own potential. it's 20 mins of his pb so what do you expect? if you ran 20 mins slower than youre pace you'd be able to do the same. seems more worried about videos than reaching potential atm. lame.

Amazing to be able to re-live the race through your video Ben. This was my first ever marathon and as a long time NYC resident it was an absolute dream come true. I was so unsure of how I would do with the course and started off super conservative for the first 6 miles. This led to a nice negative split however and a finish time of 3.19. Am absolutely thrilled with how it went and I owe a lot of it to people like you who put out excellent content on how to train properly as well as motivate people to run and shoot for their goals. I can't wait to get back to regular training and improve more over the coming year. Hope to do another marathon next year. Awesome result Ben and glad you really enjoyed yourself out there as always!

Any runner who can run a marathon in under 3 hours has earned my respect!

@pf4186 6 месяцев назад

Very true. Most sub 3 start with the same potential as those who scrape a sub 4; they just work smarter and harder. That's not knocking 4 hour runners, as that is where I'm at and I know what it takes to get to 4 hours.

@ronrunsworld 6 месяцев назад

Amazing video Ben, thanks! It was an amazing day :) a bit slower run for me but great race and incredible fans!

@jasondahl3552 6 месяцев назад

What an amazing race! You are correct, that was TOUGH, those bridges and the "climb" into Central Park were no joke! My first NYC and 18th overall and easily one of my favorites. Thanks for the great video, it was fun to watch and think back to that day. The death march to the exit was kinda cruel though, I have never had to walk so far to leave a race after finishing haha.
