For the first ever episode of Camping Chair Chats, I sit down with the one and only Ben Felton - the man behind the awesome RU-vid channel: Ben is Running. Ben has gone from enjoying the occasional parkrun, to lining up against the elite fields at 10k and half marathon races up and down the country. Travelling the world as a full-time RU-vidr, documenting his training, races and tips for running to your best ability. We talked all things RU-vid, running, the highs, the lows, PBs, training and life. I cannot wait to bring you more of these mini interviews so keep your eyes peeled and let me know who I should sit down with next!

Can't wait to one day see you move to trail running. You've inspired me to get back to running (currently sort of preparing for the first marathon next year, managed to do HM last Sunday after month and a half of consistent running). Gl in Valencia, sub 2:20, that's ambitious goal, hope you get it 🤞🤞 As they say: shoot for the moon even if you miss you still end up among the stars 😎

Great interview Phily. I've just gotten back into running this year aged 55 after more than a decade off and you n Ben are proving inspirational to my old legs. Am now training 4 times a week and have (possibly optimistic) hopes of getting another sub 3 marathon before I'm 60. Keep up the good work. Love the grind.

Ben is a major inspiration for me. His story of going from an amateur runner to where he is now is very inspiring. Also, enjoy his down to earth, personable attitude. Loved this video. For future guests, I don't have any recommendations. However, regarding the questions, I'd like to know what motivates people and what they think/say to themselves to keep improving even when there are setbacks.

Nice video! Good idea, interesting discussion about running is always interesting! I predict that, with another 12-18 months training at his current volume, Ben will run comfortably under 2:20. His abilities clearly lie in the more aerobic areas. Only thing is that he really needs to get faster over 5K & 10K if he is going to break into the real elite at the distance.
