Hands down one of the best videos I have watched on CZcams 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.
What a story that would be; from a park run to London marathon as a elite running. Hope you get there!
Fastest Brit in the race too!! Wow congrats Ben
Ben is a real class act!
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!!!!
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...
Yeah around 7 minutes there was just noise for audio for about a minute. Not sure why so many others dont seem to be noting it.
Cheers to Ben for bringing me here! He deserved the PB and his vlog was incredible to watch.
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!
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 👊
Great to see the support for UK runners, there is some quality content on this channel!
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!! 🎉
This is great! Just came from Ben's channel. He's been super inspiring in my personal run journey.
So inspiring. Hope to one day qualify for Boston Marathon! Fair play to Ben!
well done Ben on the PB! Your vid was great and the Pro-Direct film was beautifully done

Ben amazing!! NYC in the fall baby!
Very cool. Well done
Great video

Nice - a fellow Essex boy doing alright👍
Congrats on the PB!
This is one of the best CZcams docs on an "amateur" athlete ever.
And you wore the Adios Pro 3 great!!! Great shoe i have the purple colorway!!!
kerreen banget video nya...enakk di tonton...trima kasih pro...
Ben should follow the great steps of Parvo Nurmi in Helsinki Maraton!
Brillian ben !
Well-spoken as well.
Inspirational guy
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 🤞💪
Fantastic doc. Loved it. Great time, especially for Boston. Worth the trip to give Kipchoge the fist pump, we owe him a great deal
Yes Ben, get in! Shout out to Samson too for the energy ❤
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.
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??
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.
Great content and great race, massive congrats on the PB! Surely you can contact adidas and get a bib for Berlin for the next instalment?!😉
Ben is the real fucking deal! This Boston was my first major as well and what an incredible experience it truly was
Come to Athens in November!! The authentic one!!
B for brilliance 🎉
Berlin for episode 2 then Ben 🤙🔥
truly inspirational. Fastest Brit? Had not realised.
Great video! Congratulations, Ben! So good to follow your story.
...Gotta work on your dance moves tho! 🤣🤣
Having been born in South Africa it would be super cool for you to do comrades?!!
Did anyone else have audio issues? The hotel when he was talking to the camera and not doing the voice over?
Trail and ultra next?
Brill video
Get yourself on the beer mile ben 😂😂
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?
Berlin!!!
Hiii Ben. Your the best running content creator!!!
Berlin....!
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!
Congratulations Ben, this is very inspiring - upwards & onwards my man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
