Love it Ben and thanks again for the support and Donation to Alopecia UK 👊🏻

@BenParkes Год назад

The energy you guys had was amazing.. great to meet you all. Congratulations on the race and fundraising!

@steevie76 Год назад

Sarah: “Stop talking to me!” 😂

@chad.haggerty Год назад

Easily the BEST moment. 🤣🤣

@martindattus7064 Год назад

I love it!!!😂😂😂

@kathleenbolanos Год назад

Relatable!

@m3phist0 Год назад

Can relate. My bro says this to me every time we run.

@perlah8407 Год назад

This is me to my husband when he's talking to me on a hard run😂😂😂😂😂

@danielborgogni6716 Год назад

11:54 Sarah being super relatable: "stop talking to me" Ben: "it's conversational pace" - loved it

@Gormador Год назад

Congratulations Sarah, well done! Also an additional award for "Most restrained" when telling Ben to leave you alone in the nicest way possible 😀

@mrk2450 Год назад

Ah Ben and Sarah, I did not know you were there, I would have come and said hello. It was my first marathon at age 52 and thanks to the Ben Parkes Marathon Level 3 plan, I managed a 3.52 time which was my goal to run a sub 4 with the plan of training for a sub 3.30, which I did, would give me half hour leeway. Great job Sarah and props to all at the Chester Marathon

@JAHinHK Год назад

That's an amazing accomplishment - congratulations!

@drewthedweeeb Год назад

Well done!

@BenParkes Год назад

Well done Mark. Yes, Sarah wanted to keep it a bit on the quiet, as she was very nervous. But great to hear you had such a great run at Chester. That's superb. Congratulations!

@skinnylegsbarefootshoes Год назад

That’s a great first marathon time - Well done!! 😁👍

@twold4this Год назад

First marathon? 3.52? 52 yrs old? That is *identical* to me (Worcester in my case) since then I have - not *planned* and much to my surprise - run over 100 marathons (including a few *short* ultras).. off you go 🏃... Well done!

@TumoRuns Год назад

Think the village is Holt. About 16 miles in, when things start to hurt. A great spot, was a lifesaver for me when I did it in 2019; the people there were amazing!

@robbiegreenslade Год назад

Well done Sarah. I smiled all the way through watching that. I LOVE seeing people getting out there and working hard towards something special. Very inspiring!!!

@BenParkes Год назад

Thank you Robbie! Will pass on the well done to Sarah.

@churnetvalleyrunner3635 Год назад

“Please stop talking to me” Sarah being ever so friendly, whenever me and my mrs have ran together I get my head bitten off if I utter any words of encouragement to her during the run 😂 Like a lioness full of rage waiting to attack 😂😂

@WendyInTheWild Год назад

Definitely want to see more videos from Sarah. Well done Sarah - fantastic time!

@LuisBecerra79 Год назад

“It’s conversational pace” 🤦🏻‍♂️ it easy for you to say Ben 😆🤣😂. In a marathon I would have also like that e bike to finish a race 🤷🏻‍♂️. Congrats Sarah!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@eddiegaul1903 Год назад

Nicely paced Sarah! Thanks for taking us along and you looked strong the entire way.

@paoloruns Год назад

Let's go, Sarah! Such a great run! Her running posture looked so good the entire run.

@Adamnealvelez Год назад

Way to go, Sarah!!!! So glad to see this. You two are the absolute best!

@kenknepper5226 Год назад

Congrats on your race. Love how you and Ben make running fast look so fun.

@ElisaShaffer Год назад

Congratulations Sarah! Love watching you both. Running my first marathon in January 🤞🏃‍♀

@edwardcomeau2625 Год назад

Hey Ben and Sarah, congratulations both getting GFA times, see you at London! I saw Sarah come down the finish looking strong. Was going to say hi but didn't want to interrupt the filming. I followed your Advanced Marathon Plan and managed an 18 minute PB of 2:47. Cheers Ben! Runner 652.

@BenParkes Год назад

Wow, congratulations Edward! That's a superb time and huge PB. Smashed sub 3 and sub 250 in the same run!!

@jassaljs Год назад

That was just amazing! Congratulations Sarah! So nice to see Ben totally supporting her👏👏

@ss-xv5cu Год назад

Great job sara and great job ben for your support. Hats off to both of you!

@rogerrichards8048 Год назад

Great video Ben - congratulations to Sarah on finishing in a really solid time. Thanks for taking the GoPro along & for taking time to chat to other runners. Your generosity in offering to contribute to their sponsorship gets a big thumbs up from me👍

@marymcintyre706 Год назад

Congratulations Sarah, lovely to see the fruits of your labor! Looking forage to see you race London ❤

@Stewartuk73 Год назад

Great run Sarah. Great comms Ben, and donating to fellow runners, love your channel ❤

@grevparmenter5658 Год назад

Great to see Sarah in the video and great time. It was her videos that helped me go my first ultra and led me to this channel. Keep you the great content.

@carlm8345 Год назад

Superb video, well done Sarah and great support Ben

@bh4560 Год назад

Yes great vid as usual. And Sarah smashing it again. What an amazing time that is too. ❤🙌

@jamiexavier6654 Год назад

That is an amazing performance Sarah!! So happy for you that you got your good for age time. Well done to Ben too for the support on the bike!!!!

@MrJoeolive Год назад

Congratulations Sarah! Incredibly smooth stride throughout. Enjoy running London next year.

@willbutcher9712 Год назад

Inspiring as always Sarah! Get it done in London!

@jordannorton1795 Год назад

Loved this vlog! Fun stuff. Thanks for filming Ben and great work Sarah!

@jordannorton1795 Год назад

And yes…I think it’s time to snag Sarah some new Vaporfly’s! 😂

@mikephillips5483 Год назад

What a wonderful video. Sarah looked so calm and composed and strong the whole race--and she smiled. I can't manage a smile in a 5K, for heaven's sake. Great work!

@jackbutterworth792 Год назад

I ran Chester this year, really enjoyed the race, great event but a really tough course with the hills at the end. I ran 2:56:15 which was a 4min PB, meaning I’ve got a GFA place for London 🎉

@TheJoelMccluskey Год назад

Nice!

@BenParkes Год назад

See you in London Jack!! Congratulations!

@tonibriggs6704 Год назад

Loved this video, I'm guide running at Chester this year so was intrigued to see the course. Thankyou & well done Sarah. 👏

@paulpitcher965 Год назад

Superb Sarah to put up with Ben gassing in your ears all the way 🤣🤣 Great running gal and a lovely upload as always Ben 👏🏼👏🏼

@philjordan1749 Год назад

Big Well Done to Sarah. Great run. Definitely time we saw some more videos on her channel - particularly liked her relaxing video of Malham Cove. Wonderful mix of video and music. So inspiring.

@clareJCW Год назад

Awesome video and running. Well done Sarah. I was momentarily very tempted to apply for London, but I’ve only ever run a half marathon and I’m currently sitting on a cushion due to very painful high hamstring tendonitis which I’ve had for over a year now after training for the half marathon last October. I must be realistic and get that sorted and fixed first!! All the best for London - both of you! 👍🏻

@justanoldfashionedrunner605 Год назад

congratulations Sarah......you really made it look easy....you two are such a great couple

@lauraf5390 Год назад

Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉 super happy for you!

@mytrailrunsaustralia4094 Год назад

Well done Sarah! Yes yes please add to your channel Sarah. Love your channel. And Ben you are awesome. Watching you guys is inspiring and as always a great team together.

@WJ-qw8wl Год назад

Well done Sarah amazing as usual ! Great filming Ben really enjoyed that ! 👏👏👏👌👍

@stephaniewaskoenig1387 Год назад

Congratulations Sarah! Totally agree, don’t know how you manage to be so nice during such a hard effort. Funny as the comment to Ben was, I also like how he takes it so much in stride himself. You make a great team! Would love a video where you guys talk your opinions about road Marathons versus ultra trails! (I run both as well and have a clear favorite)

@heatherhepplewhite7885 Год назад

Can she do it? YES, SHE CAN! Amazing job, Sarah! You made it look easy, still being able to talk out there! And yes, I’d definitely like to see more videos on your channel! I love your humble, unassuming approach.

@christineheaton8662 Год назад

Well done Sarah!! You make the marathon look so easy!! X

@sandravanvalkenburg5502 Год назад

Awesome job Sarah!!!! and ended it with a smile!

@tawfeeqismail9279 Год назад

Loved this video!

@TravelRunner Год назад

Wow great effort by Sarah! Congrats to her on getting that GFA qualification. I agree with you Ben, she has more potential in the marathon. Her stride, cadence, and form looked good throughout the run. She definitely has sub 3:20 potential. And great job filming alongside on the bike. I really enjoyed this video, thanks! 👍

@r-pupz7032 Год назад

I'm running here this year! Started your beginner marathon training plan, 2 weeks in, so far so good - determined to get this done!!! Awesome to see Sarah run it 🤩

@rdbch Год назад

This video has such a nice vibe! Good job Sarah!

@YeahThatYeah Год назад

Great video Ben and congrats to Sarah😀 I ran it and agree, organisation was absolutely brilliant! So many toilets pre race, no queues, easy to slot into your pace booth! My first mara and banked 3:13! Chuffed

@mochiandaki4564 Год назад

Well done and Congratulation Sarah! I felt so good after watch! you two are so cute together :)

@simonhodgson4941 Год назад

Great video, had me chuckling. Congratulations Sarah, awesome effort ✌

@enonek2960 Год назад

AWESOME RUN by Sarah! That finishing hill looked like a killer, not sure if I could have kept it going! VERY Well Done!!!!

@gorantoljamo204 Год назад

Congratulations Sarah!! Nice work!!

@CaroLina-ms2yy Год назад

Well done Sarah! I loved the video and what an inspiration she is! Lovely! 🥳💪

@thesecretrunner26 Год назад

Very well done Sarah: you smashed that! Look forward to seeing you both at London 2023 (which will be my first London marathon!) @Ben: “It’s conversational pace” - I bet you’re going to pay for that 😂

@BenParkes Год назад

haha! See you in London 2023!!

@mattb6873 Год назад

Congrats! London was incredible this year…. But these smaller marathons also seem to be great too

@kellygaughan337 Год назад

Well done Sarah 👏 I ran London at the weekend and I definitely agree road marathons are the toughest race!

@13MisterSinister13 Год назад

Great event, I took part this year after following one of your marathon plans and got a new PB. Thanks Ben and well done Sarah 👏

@BenParkes Год назад

Well done on your new PB!! Congratulations!!

@lukepalmer4200 Год назад

Said hi to you along the course at one point Ben; this was my first marathon and your videos have helped loads! Goal was to end strong and finish under 3:45 and got a 3:40 finish! Thank you !

@Chiparwen Год назад

Well done Ben and Sarah! I saw you both at the start and it was great to say hello, thanks for finding the time! It was my first marathon and came in under my goal of 04:30 at 04:24. I've just picked up one of your training plans and hope to go sub 4 at Brighton!

@BenParkes Год назад

Good luck at Brighton! Let us know how you get on. Congratulations on a great time at Chester too!

@robinthebobin6537 Год назад

Absolutely awesome video as always, well done Sarah for such a brilliant race🥳!!! I was running on the other side on the metric marathon (not quite there yet for the full marathon😅) and seeing Sarah flying past and Ben with a GoPro and a wide smile on his face on the other side of the road motivated me so much to keep pushing towards my goal! Ben and Sarah are an inspiration to many I'm sure!

@BenParkes Год назад

Well done on your metric marathon run!

@AimeeandApollo Год назад

love you guys!Great vlog well done Sarah! xxx

Brilliant effort Sarah, well done!!! Great video as always

@esmemoffett5447 Год назад

Well done, Sarah!! I used it to get a GFA time last year, so glad you got yours. Well done for putting up with Ben's annoying questions 🤣 and for surviving that killer hill at the end!

@neilsyard Год назад

Superb effort...well done Sarah!

@tomrankin4530 Год назад

That was a fun video to watch. Congratulations, Sarah!

@jwuertz7101 Год назад

The thumbnail could almost be Sarah biting her thumb at you. So proud of Sarah. She makes it look effortless! I know there's lots of training, hard work and mental toughness behind it. ❤

@philipwood7673 Год назад

Sarah looked so smooth throughout! Well done on a great time!!

@michaelyoung7069 Год назад

Well done Sarah! I really enjoyed this! I finished 4th this year and won last year and tbh it looks far more fun when there's runners around and more of atmosphere!

@BenParkes Год назад

Congratulations Michael!!

Magnificent running Sarah, your pacing is next level 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@peterhackett3815 Год назад

Great vid, I was at Chester Marathon too! Saw you at the start line but didn't have time to say hi. Was a great event and managed come come away with a great new PB!

@kofuzi Год назад

Great run Sarah!

@gwilymeades Год назад

Very very inspiring, thank you! My GFA plan, after watching this, is to hang on until I'm 70, train like hell, and hope I can maintain my current marathon time! haha

@julietmorrice3205 Год назад

Congratulations Sarah! 🎉 You guys are so lovely 🥰 #couplegoals Road marathons are definitely way harder than ultras, if you’re training for a certain time anyway. The hardest thing I’ve done was train for a sub-3:30 for London 2020, which of course was cancelled so it came to nothing in the end! When I eventually ran it last year I took it easy and came in at 3:53 so pretty pleased with that after no road training all year. One day I might try for a fast time again, but I think I prefer 100 milers now! 😂

@GaryHowland26 Год назад

Well done. I have ran Chester in 2019 and 2021. Just entered it again for 2023 after running London on Sunday and getting a PB due to using your training plan. It's an awesome event, medal, shirt and a great goodie bag.

@BenParkes Год назад

Congratulations on the PB Gary!!

@miski1969 Год назад

Great Video. I did the metric as a warm up for York marathon & saw the 3:30 pacer go past at the merge point just before I merged in so would have been around the same area for the last 8 miles.

@LARKRunningUK Год назад

Congrats Sarah! I saw you blow past me at about mile 23 when I was fading, really strong run. Kudos to all who finished on Sunday…..

@ProbettG Год назад

Well done Sarah!! Great job!! Great video! ❤

@Mochicologo65 Год назад

Really awesome job, Sarah! Well done!

@stefanledin2342 Год назад

Congratulations on the GFA and Well done, Sarah! I also ran Chester Marathon. It was near-perfect conditions for marathon running.

@ian757 Год назад

Sarah is so awesome Ben. She laced that race perfectly and her winning style is really good. Very efficient and she looks like a natural. Congratulations to her and great support from you too. See you in the next one! 👊

@scott_strool Год назад

awesome job Team Parkes!

@phill.p Год назад

Well done Sarah! I was going to run Chester this year but injury stopped me. Look forward to running it next year!!!

@BenParkes Год назад

Hopefully you're back running again very soon Phill!

@christinaclementson Год назад

Well done Sarah!! I ran London at the weekend but won’t be going back in April as I’ve signed up for Boston again 🎉🎉 Hope your legs are recovering well xxx

@davidsinclair4427 Год назад

Get in Sarah 🎉🎉🎉

@sharonrowlet8219 Год назад

Beautiful Sarah! Great form all the way to the finish!

@freddiecarpio1445 Год назад

Well done, Sarah! Congratulations!

@nathanbaker1727 Год назад

Well done to Sarah on the GFA time! I've got my first marathon next year in Manchester, going to be training to try run a sub-3!

@morganrahe6791 Год назад

Congratulations Sarah!!! 🎉 well done. Very inspirational. I’ve only just started following your channel after looking for a pre run warm up vid. Had to laugh at your nervous open the gate close the gate comment. Just finished my first marathon on Sunday (Melbourne Marathon - Australia) Goal of 4:00 but completed in 3:42. Now training hard for a London Qualifier next year. Keep up the fantastic work on the channel.

@BenParkes Год назад

Well done Morgan! Smashed your goal.. congratulations!! 🙌
