Extremely proud to have my name associated with a piece of content of this quality. Make sure you like, comment, share it with your nan so we can make this the first of many. What marathon or challenge should i target next with team ProDirect?
Hi Ben, you might want to know about the audio glitches addressed by Wayne below. We can't hear you at several points throughout the video. On a side note - huge congrats, amazing achievement!
Hands down one of the best videos I have watched on RU-vid in a while. ProDirect have made a beautiful film here and if this doesn't make everyone want to run Boston then I don't know what will. A huge congratulations to Ben on a storming run and PB. It was great to hear him discuss his running and goals. Great work on the filming and edit Lewis and Dan.
I loved the comment about training with people better than you. It’s something I have always struggled with as I always trained alone and then when I got the chance to train with others I would get disheartened when they beat me, but now I am starting to realise that being beaten in training is most likely the way to get faster on race day!
Great stuff Ben congrats on your PB, and thank you Pro-Direct for making this happen! Was I the only one who had some issues with the sound in some segments? Not bothered, but thought you might like to know...
9:21: "Running is like a medicine." Amen. So proud of Ben for the PB achievement. Nice work putting all this together, guys! Get that 2:18 elite entry into London Marathon, Ben! Can't wait to see that journey! King Charles needs to bring you up on his coronation to crown you as Top Brit at the freaking BOSTON MARATHON dude!!!!
Incredible performance and quality content… very inspiring… I’m just back from London marathon 2023 and it was amazing… the crowds were something else. Finished in 3:15… hoping to crack sub 3 at some point. 2:24 seems mind blowing to me! Good luck in attaining your 2:18 and elite place 👊
I’ve been following your journey from the very early days & it’s been incredible seeing how you’ve progressed - that London marathon elite place is in your future for sure!! 🎉
Well done. Hope you get that elite London marathon start one day Ben. You can do it. Great to have goals and dreams. If you don’t you still have a great running story and we enjoy your content anyway so no pressure mate.
I'm so glad that you've finally gotten the right crew to help you make these videos so heart-warming. This was such a solid episode to watch definitely got me ready to run even more now!!!!
So beautiful! This video inspire and motivates me even more - not only for the chasing BQ goal but also running itself. Thanks for sharing the experience and happy to follow the journey.
Fantastic; great video, enjoyed it…..I also ran Boston (I was down the road in 2:54) and so much resonated with my weekend. It’s Berlin next in September if you fancy it?? Harrogate Steve 🦄
Hi Ben, yeah, wish you will get to the elite group in London! I'm sure you're on the right way heading to your such dream! All the best with you training to get there soon 🤞💪
Well done how amazing your journey has been you show true consistent running week in and out congratulations again on a superb run 🎉 I wanna see the tattoo mate
Congratualtions Ben! I think you need to take a holiday first. And then create a Doc around park runs, and how that catapulted you to ProDirect Stardom. LOL Laughs aside, i think highlighting the grassroots events and volunteers at these weekly parkruns and then culminating in maybe another big marathon in a couple months. Something like that.
Awesome video!! We would love to see you guys take Ben to all 6 Majors starting with NYC/Chicago/Berlin for the fall and Tokyo for next spring, then London 2025??
Congratulations Ben. I’d say do London even if you don’t enter as an elite, it’s great… I’ve only done one marathon major (London) and it was everything you imagine it is if you’ve ever watched it on TV.
