    Bloody brilliant effort considering the stomach bug and the heat… looked and epic race and fair play to the people that sent in footage, that was top quality!!

      Thanks mate! I got to about 3km and I could just tell that I couldn’t push much past threshold effort. The footage literally made this vlog so very thankful!

    Your videos are very inspiring. I have been back doing Parkrun this year after a hiatus of 5 years and your channel is giving me the motivation. 👍

    Great running Ben! To get that result coming off a stomach bug is amazing work. It was good to meet you in the start pen. Hope the race footage helped. Keep up the great work with the videos!

    What a great day! Very challenging course and super hot… can’t believe Strava is telling me it was 20 degrees. Felt much hotter! Congrats on an awesome run when you’re not firing on all cylinders, mate. Jack 👍🏼👍🏼

    Really enjoyed this video. My son and I watched it together. He just ran his first 10k proper race at the mersey tunnel 10K and he loved the distance. He’s ten and ran a 40:48 which blew our minds. I ran a 45:34 so I was made up too.

    Ben ran 32:58 and came 21st. The guy in front of him that he was trying to chase down ran 32:57. If Ben had caught him he would have been top 20! Winning time was 29:02.

    Hi Ben,
    In about a month or two I am going to do my first 10km race. I have done a couple of half marathons (current PB is 1:28) but I have never done a 10km race yet. What is it like going down from 21km to 10km? Disregarding the obvious that 10km will be quicker splits, I have a bit of worry that I won't be able to figure out my splits to ensure that I don't hit the wall.
