Why I Run 180km Per Week | Project  

Same here :)

Same. I just had my biggest week last week at 70k. Can't imagine doing 110k more.

Same, 50 hurts enough!

Not impressive at all, and judging by Ben's times, doesn't work. You lot should not attempt to follow someone whom is not an experienced, elite athlete and especially online

@@robertmalseed7376 I disagree, the mental and physical toughness to run 180km a week is very impressive to me. By that logic I also shouldn't listen to you then :)

Love to see it :)

Thanks Victor, best of luck with your training.

Glad you like them!

Hello i am pretty much the same as you i have the same 5k pb and have the same goal i just wanted to ask you what a week of training for you would look like ?

Ben's times are comparatively mediocre and are so slow that it doesn't take hard work and discipline. Considering that Ben is a senior male, and can devote full time to training and competing., he is far behind a decent reasonable level.

Ben I hope you ignore comments like this. Your times are great but more importantly your dedication is amazing!

What’s your pb and how long have you been running?

@@robertmalseed7376 who hurt you bro

Thanks mate, appreciate the support. Understood Re soar, certainly not affordable for all but can't beat the quality :)

The price of their singlets is not THAT high compared to a Nike AeroSwift…basically the same price, but the SOAR is on another level in terms of quality

🙌 Thanks bro, lets hope it pays off!

ahah, pace is all relative i guess :)

Legend! Much appreciated for the support :)

Oh thats a shame, Ive not experienced that so hopefully just a one off :)

Very interesting, thanks for that :)

yeah have seen this a lot for myself over the years - the harder you train the harder it is to get your HR up.

Mac miller, Oliver dean and foals are my current favoruites :)

GOAT first commenter.

you can’t both be first

​@_Tp__ cause she's not 😉 1 minute tooo slow

@@fabsterun nooooo, i hit the comments first within twenty seconds of alert, my first first😇

I think what we see with adult runners is the ones who were not active as children/teens need to do high mileage to transform their fitness, whereas adults who were active when they were younger (I don't mean 'training' but more playing and enjoying sports) can run very well with a much lower weekly mileage. So I mean the benefits an adult gets from a lot of easy running, junior athletes seem to develop naturally just by enjoying sports, the outdoors, different activities. Around that kind of time for 10k, quality runs around threshold - tempo pace are going to be the key thing, you probably know that. The aim should probably be to progress in those kind of workouts rather than aiming for a particular weekly mileage, even though that's what other runners like talking about. If you already enjoy and feel good running that much per week I wouldn't say you need to reduce it though.

@@borisoglebskaiathanks so much for replying! it helped a lot! ❤

nearly everyone I know in the uk (including me) uses kilometres. It might be because a lot of us start out at parkrun which is a weekly 5k race not a weekly 3.106 mile race.

@@_Tp__ as does most of the remaining world except from UK and US^^ Glad he does it this way. Really hard to keep converting with other creators as I´m in the EU outside of the UK.

@@_Tp__ understood, perhaps I’m mistaken. Or, the folks I talk to refer to mile so is Americans understand 🤣.

Two reasons for me; I race 5k and 10ks not milers and I started running when i lived in sweden where everyone at the club used KM's. Its the language I learnt i guess :)

Uk: Driving in miles, cycling in miles, running in kilometres, except a marathon that's in miles. Then you've got other bizarre things like drinks - beer in pints, other drinks in ml. A person's weight in stone, weights at the gym in kg 😂

Without ads, I wouldn't be able to make youtube videos for a living. Its a necessary offset for offering free content. Hope that adds some clarity :)

@@BenIsRunning na man no worries, the quality of content shouldn't even be free given all the effort people like you put in, didn't mean for it to come off in that way. much love

Theres many ways to skin a cat.

​@@BenIsRunninga positive comment from another fellow runner. I think what this type of comments mean is that you should not need this mileage to achieve your goal of 30:30, unless there is something further down the line that we are missing (getting ready to race road ultras, which would be a quicker and more realistic way to represent GB than through marathon running, I believe you mentioned this at some point in one of your videos?). You seem to have enough talent to achieve the 30:30 goal with more efficient and "clever" training

Ben I hope you ignore comments like this. Your times are great but more importantly your dedication is amazing!

@@alfietyrrell140 you cannot ignore Power of 10. You really need to have a good look at his times and they are not at all fast as he says they are: 4:09 - 1500m., 4:31 - Mile. 8:29 - 3000m., 14:57 - 5000m, 31:26 - 10,000m

@@robertmalseed7376if you are anything over the age of 12 im shocked grow up

thats honestly insane progress for 4 years...

One day you will get over your failure to ever go to the olympics. I hope you one day finally find peace rather than hatred.
