Thanks mate! Just wasn't my day! A great marathon nonetheless and great to see the youtubers out in force! Well done for sticking it out on the day, the chafing looked nasty!!

@BenParkes Год назад

The marathon is an extremely tough nut to crack.. but your day will come for sure!! Lots of good K's of training banked for the future as well.. See you soon!

The cross over we have all been waiting for. The two Bens!

@stephenflutter9634 Год назад

Thank you Ben for be so honest about your mental health. I am struggling with my mental health at the moment, my running as taking a massive step back. But watching your channel has help me get out there and start my running journey again. Once again thank you

@johnhanrahan6246 Год назад

Hi Stephen, it’s nice to see you’re also able to write a message opening up about your mental health too. Trust the journey your on, if running is on the back burner that’s ok, things will pick up again in good time. Be kind to yourself, speak to loved ones, eat good foods and try to make time for some exercise even if it’s a 15 minute walk in the fresh air! 😊 my inbox is always open to anyone who’s struggling 🙏🏽

@BenParkes Год назад

Sending you a virtual fist pump Stephen and keep taking to those around you about what you're feeling. There will be brighter days ahead I'm sure. Keep on getting out for some movement everyday, whether that's running, walking or just going for an amble around your local patch. All the best to you Stephen!

@asousalx Год назад

Always positive 🙏 try to keep running, even slowly, you will feel better! God bless you and guide you 🙏

@paospon8439 Год назад

Well done Ben. Still don't know how you can run that fast and still calmly chat to the camera. I was there and finally beat 3hrs. Was the perfect marathon. Was aiming for 2.59, managed to get 2.56:39. First time I have ever run a negative split marathon. Got to 32km and saw the 'beat the wall' sign and still felt good, so pushed on from there. Ran 2nd half in under 1.27, so was very pleased. That broccoli was a god send for sunday evening in my salad 😀 27

@BenParkes Год назад

Haha.. I bet the broccoli tasted very soon after that epic run. Congratulations!!

@50Something Год назад

I think runners put too much pressure on themselves which can lead to just always comparing themselves to others and to what they have accomplished. The body and mind will not always fire on all cylinders and you will need to pause and look at the journey that brought you there. You need to replace the doubt and disappointment with awe at what an inspiring warrior you are! 🙏

@Weegie_in_Spain Год назад

100% correct. When runners compare themselves with their past, other people or who they'd be if they achieved this or that pb, the idea of running as a panacea for good mental health falls short. It worries me to see running prescribed on the NHS as some kind of one size fits all solution for mental health.

@jawee6144 Год назад

The only race review I was really holding out for! That home straight looked beautiful, surreal blue, and you, thanks for sharing.

@martynsylvester5102 Год назад

Ben, as ever unflinchingly honest about you and your running. Help (physical for the workload, mental for the mind) is your best friend, so look forward to you utilising that help for a quality 2023.

@simongamez Год назад

As a beginner runner who deals with mental health issues from time to time, thank you! Thanks for being vulnerable and open about your mental health, it's so important as men, to open up about this topic. Congratulations on your marathon race, you did an amazing job! It's so cool to watch this videos, I hope I can run my first marathon by the end of the year or the next one.

@lenavalavani8887 Год назад

You looked so happy despite the stragle!!!well done !!!the vibes were so positive.Broccoli is a symbol of green protein .

@bartekzielinski1645 Год назад

Thanks for the Aussie shout outs Ben! Your pre race Strava photo with Brady was a real highlight.

@StefanTerndrup Год назад

Thanks always Ben for your honest videos. You are such a huge inspiration for all of us. I have PR'd in 10k, half and full marathon this year and rethinked all of my training and how I approach both training and races from some of your advices. Keep it up 👍😀

@petermyerscough5211 Год назад

Sorry to hear you have been suffering with your mental health. I love your honest and empathetic content, you are a both truly wonderful people. Please let all your anxieties be the driving force, to strive for success in the future.

@StevenSmith-xk9nd Год назад

Awesome as always Ben. Big thumbs up from New Zealand and all the best for getting it done in 2023! You are a true inspiration for all us runners. 😀🏃‍♂️

@RUN_RGB Год назад

Broccoli 🥦 for the win 😂😂😂 Well done mate! 👏

@alfred87 Год назад

Congrats for the run! I'm the guy yelling "Ben Parks!" a little before you got your medal. Nice to see you there

@craiggraham8263 8 месяцев назад

Amazing mate. I'm singed up for 2023 and looking forward to it. Could only dream of getting near that kind of pace. Very honest blog from you. Best wishes.

@stefanledin1031 Год назад

Well done for sticking it out. It's been great to follow your, Ben Felton's and Matt Rees' preparations leading up to Valencia Marathon. All the best for the training leading up to Seville.

Great video Ben! 2:49 with a go pro! Amazing 🙌🏼 Keep up the great work!!

@Klian159 Год назад

Hard Work man, you are a GOAT!

@PalmeGuden Год назад

I’m the one overtaking in 3:30. I can see from the first half of the race, that we ran almost next to each other all the way. Then a slight difference on the last half. Well fought Ben!

@ThePsants Год назад

Congrats on your race Ben - great work!

@Stick79 Год назад

Great run Ben! Should be proud of yourself. Hope your mental health improves buddy. We are backing you 100%. Top man.

@CarlosFCD5 Год назад

Can relate to a lot of this Ben. I managed to PB in Valencia and must have seen you at some point hitting a 2:39:39 but after watching probably all your videos (pretty sad I know) I completely agree, whatever life throws at you, the emotions and feelings of running a marathon is something else & a welcoming distraction to life ⭐️ roll on the broccoli 🥦 keep getting it done 😉

@BenParkes Год назад

Congratulations on the PB and London championship time if that's what you were going for Carl! Amazing running 🙂

@CarlosFCD5 Год назад

@@BenParkes Sure is mate, had confirmation of it this morning so happy days! All the best going forward Ben - your inspiring so many other runners so great job!

@CorvusVal Год назад

Congratulations on the time Ben, and excited to see you push on into next year. Hope you get the rest you need over Christmas!

@ImRhys Год назад

Thank you for your honesty Ben. It’s easy for public figures to portray that their life is perfect. I watch all your content and you inspired me to start running a few years ago. I too have been having a rough time mentally this year when usually I’ve been quite resilient. Wishing you all the best Ben, big love.

@BenParkes Год назад

Sending you a virtual hug.. hope you're doing ok. Although I'm not in the best place ever, I'm a lot better than I was.. things can and will get better. Keep working at it. 🙂

We’ll done @benparkes on digging deep and “getting it done” 💪 we could feel your pain. I’d love to do a marathon and Valencia would be a good choice. Love the channel as always and hope you both have a fab chilled Christmas 😀

@markphilpottultra Год назад

Very important to take stock, time to breathe. You and Sarah dont owe any of us anything. Your mental health is no 1 priority and only when you find that peace again will you find the peace in your running and the times will come.

Awesome video. Such a feel good video as I turbo on the bike. Well done on your run and I love your bold attitude going through in 1:20 and still hanging in there and getting it done. Lots more to come from you next year I’m sure. Thanks for the shout out too. I remember you and Sarah watching on in Cheshire when I had a rough day. Finally put the time down I believed in. Recover well and see you soon. 👊

@StaffRoelofse Год назад

Well done Ben, if there is one thing that I've learned from watching guys like you is that the marathon should never ever be underestimated. There's so much to it. Good on you for pushing through. Inspiring to watch.

@kevwright1104 Год назад

Well done Ben, excellent time and I am sure you will be back down to the sub 2.40 soon enough, you should be proud. I love the honesty from your videos and the enthusiasm, not only for the quick runners but for all runners. I have just got your intermediate marathon plan for Manchester in April. Fingers crossed for that sub 3.30. Looking forward to seeing yours and Sarah's adventures in 2023. Have a great Christmas.

@tom_the_triplets_dad Год назад

Awesome!!! Brings it all back. Signed up and ran this race because of your previous race video here! It was epic, myself and my gf finished an hour behind you and absolutely loved it!!! Vamos Valencia 🇪🇸 👍

At the moment making plans for Melbourne marathon.. flying in after Chicago. Not sure of the plans after that.. but would love to show Sarah some of the beauty in Aus, so maybe Sydney as well! Thanks James
