Ok I’m not gonna lie…I had tears in my eyes at the end. I think anybody who’s followed Ben & Sarah’s journey will feel the same. Well done Sarah, absolutely INCREDIBLE achievement and well done Ben too. A great video and a great team effort. So glad you captured this on camera, it’s a super inspiring watch! 👌🏼

@SarahPlace 2 года назад

ahh thank you darren, we loved putting it together so really glad you enjoyed it!

I’m too old to use the word but I’m going to say it. That was EPIC! Well done Sarah!!! What an accomplishment!!!!

@ollieflj 2 года назад

I’ve just been through the dictionary from front to back and can confirm that there are no words to describe how amazing this is! My 12-year-old daughter is in to running (it’s our daddy/daughter thing), doing junior parkruns and running with me, and she talks about running goals she has for when she is an adult. I’m going to sit with her and watch this again because as much as she loves her dad, what she will get from seeing an immensely talented female runner achieve something so amazing will inspire her in a way that I can’t. Well done, and thank you for this gift

@SarahPlace 2 года назад

aww that is so lovely to hear thank you ollie. i would LOVE for more women to get into the sport of ultrarunning and see a better ratio on the start line of things like this! and i'm sure your daughter will be one of them in a few years time :)

@austinado16 2 года назад

I felt the same Ollie, as the other half of a daddy-daughter running duo. SO inspirational. Started running with my daughter when she was very young. She's 22, and I'm 58 now, and we still train and do fun adventure runs together (vids on my channel). I sent her a link to this video before I was even done watching it!

@TheWelshRunner 2 года назад

Absolutely loved this film. Congratulations Sarah on a fantastic achievement and such grit. An amazing attitude and tenacity. What a run. So strong and very inspiring. Great work crewing Ben and thanks for making an emotional rollercoaster of a film at the same time. What a team.

@BenParkes 2 года назад

Thank you Matt for your kind words. Hope all is ok your end, as haven't seen anything on socials after the 24.. don't want to pry, but always drop me a DM if you want to chat. All the best to you and Kelly!

So inspiring, Sarah! I started crying when you said "not if, when!" and I don't think I stopped. You're amazing and thank you both for sharing!

Gotta love that Strava screenshot at the end: "Nice work! Run this route again to see how you're progressing." Will do, Strava. Thanks...

Who else shed a tear at 19:44 "i'm not going to make it Ben" absolutely loved this!! amazing achievement Sarah!!

@runningcoach 2 года назад

As an endurance runner, i could actually feel what that was like just by this film. Wonderful work Sarah and Ben. Well done Ben for some great support work, but Sarah, that was amazing. People ask why we run stupid distances occasionally and the answer is simple. If you can mentally endure that, you can do anything. Sarah, you Superstar!!

@young-spark 2 года назад

Love the video. The length, cinematography, commentary and first and third person POV is nice. Top quality Ben and Sarah and Congrats. It's be nice to share the recovery routine in future vid after such a grueling race.

@oldjayrunning3287 2 года назад

What an emotional journey. I have never met either one of you but you couldn’t tell by the happiness and tears of joy I got watching such an amazing accomplishment! With 4 miles left, being a husband myself, it was nice to see the emotion from you Ben! I think Sarah is going to need a nice pedicure after her nails grow back or are no longer black. Awesome job again!

@SarahPlace 2 года назад

two months on and the toenails still look awful 😂

@harveydean7952 2 года назад

I go to Cornwall most years on holiday. I've "ran" quite a lot of the coastal path - only in sections though. The terrain is BRUTAL. You clamber more than you run and regularly turn your ankles on the uneven surfaces. The idea of tackling 100 miles of that in one go is NUTS!! I've got utter respect for everyone who took part in that race. Well done Sarah, the hug at the end from the race co-ordinator made me a bit emotional you did very well to stay so composed given how fatigued you must have been.

@SarahPlace 2 года назад

it was such a great hug :)))

@joeharding5303 2 года назад

What an absolute warrior. The terrain looked absolutely relentless. Amazing achievement!

@richardantrobus7186 2 года назад

Watching this made me really appreciate what crew have to go through. I don't think I'd really thought about how much is done while I'm running. Congratulations both on such a massive team effort and well done to Sarah for showing such grit. Time for a well earned break!

@SarahPlace 2 года назад

yeah it is a tough gig! especially when you're doing it by yourself like ben was.. so many other runners had crews of 2-3 people so could share the driving and workload so to speak but doing it alone is a whole different ball game! but he was so brill :)))

@runningbuddy4104 2 года назад

I like many here… The tears were and are still flowing. Well done Sarah! Congratulations! You are amazing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us. Ben, so happy to see you there for her. You’re an Angel too.

@AdamWenn-nz2ph 4 месяца назад

I have come across your channel today as I have started running again and want to do the 50 mile run in 2025. As a Former Royal Marines Commando, I can sympathise with Sarah with being in those dark places mentally and physically. What was amazing to see is the pure grit and determination to crack on to complete the 100 miles. Kudos to Sarah for completing it and the smile at the end was huge. Nice one Ben with the film and crewing for her. Your turn next?!....(I am yet to look through your other videos, maybe you have done it already!).

@conradburdekin722 Год назад

I just wanted to hug Sarah when she was near the end. She sounded so broken. Sarah, well done. This was an unbelievably amazing thing that you did. And Ben, what a fantastic partner you are! Really heart warming video guys, thank you ❤

@dannygrays 2 года назад

I love that right in the middle of Sarah's race, she asks Ben, "And how are you doing?" ❤

@ianl4518 2 года назад

Just watched this twice. HUGE congrats to you Sarah, that was an amazing effort, I got quite emotional watching that. I had to pull out of Arc50 before Xmas with an injury but have a spot in this year's Plague, so I hope to qualify for next year's Arc there. You have really given me some inspiration. Well done also to Ben, you conveyed the challenge of being crew so well.

@stevendavies4572 2 года назад

An incredible achieve sarah.i can't imagine how difficult that's been physically let alone emotionally. My legs are wrecked after a half marathon.grinding for 34 hours is mind blowing.you must be made of steel lol.fantastic achievement !!

@neilbradford9752 2 года назад

Iv had to watch this twice to get my head around it , such an awesome event only matched by Sarah and all the other runners who take part , usual on the money commentary from Ben , thank you both of you and while I’ll never be the runners you are your down to earth attitude in all that you do is so refreshing and real 👍👍
