Lol, love Sarah's announcer voice 😂
Looking forward to the boot review!
Haha!!
Good to see that things are heading in the right direction, Ben. And your inner sunshine is an inspiration to us all.
Enthusiasm in abundance, good for you, back to to it in no time doing it right!
Proud of your positivity Ben! You really are a true inspiration and someone to look upto!
Great vibes Ben can always count on that from you, happy to hear you're progressing.
Loved this video. Really cheered me up. Glad you are ok.
Loved the video! Glad to see you're doing fine.
Glad to see you are getting on so well! I'm also currently wearing a boot (stress fracture of foot) so going through a similar time. Wishing you and Sarah the best! Stay strong
Ah, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you’re healing up well! 🙌
Really pleased to hear that the injury is healing well Ben keep the positives vibes going. Hope that you and Sarah both keep safe and well. Look after yourselves and each other.
Glad you're recovering well. If there was ever a "good" time to do it then you've picked the perfect time as you shouldn't miss much, if anything, and your left leg should be super strong!
Can't wait to hear how you did it too... my curiosity is in overdrive.
Kudos for being awake during the op too.... don't think I could have done that!
It's never a good time to break an ankle, but given the current global situation, if it had to happen, now is the best time.
Plus Ben probably learned some new things from the experience that would help him next time if (touch wood he doesn't) he ever sustains a major injury again in the future. There's a silver lining to everything
Glad to hear your great news
Good to see your doing great Ben.
So pleased to see you are healing well!
Another great video Ben 💪🏼🦶🏼
Cheers Gary 🙌
Great content Ben & Sarah, it's always a pleasure to see you both, whatever you are doing (aka pull up challenge ahah), take care !
Thanks to the hospital, grocery store, transportation, pharmacy staff and many others that keep getting it done!! And thanks to the Ben Parkes of the world for giving the rest of us something to watch while we are home! Also, 10 pullups for me.
Im going through the same thing row. Im glad i came across your videos. Thank you for the motivation n high spirits.
Glad to see your on the mend. Get well soon.
Super glad the ankle is on the mend, from the other scrapes, looks like you had a good knock! Also, thankyou so much for the appreciation of the people on the frontline. I work for Tesco, and the amount of abuse, verbal and also physical, that staff are getting at the moment, just for trying to do our job, is just awful. We have to limit purchases just to try to share what limited stock we have. Yesterday was probably the worst day I've worked in 30 years, and I spent a lot of it in tears. Today was better, and I'm hoping a good long run on Saturday will clear my head. Anyway, don't fall off the pull-up bar!
You MORE than deserve a lovely long run at the weekend. As a society we’ve become use to having what we want, when we want it and for a few idiots they can’t accept having to make a few changes to their life. Thank you though, it may be hard.. but people like you are genuinely being incredible every day.. I just hope Tesco are looking after you properly! All the best enjoy that run!! 🙌
Impressed that you've already had the cast replaced with a boot. Indicates good progress! I fell out on a run 6 weeks ago and broke my fibula. I was 4 weeks in a cast and on crutches. Now two weeks with the boot (no crutches) and hospital appt next Wednesday when i hope I'll lose the boot and start a tentative return to running. Still a bit of ankle swelling and soreness but getting there! Good luck with your recovery 👍
Sounds like you’ll be back to running pretty soon Nigel, I hope so! Wishing you all the best for your appointment next Wednesday 🙌
Wishing you a speedy recovery and that you make it to 5 pull-ups!
Ben, great news that the xray looks good and that you are on the right path to recovery
Hi Ben, glad to hear the ankle is healing up well and you will be able to start putting a bit of weight on it soon! Best of luck to you and Sarah with the pullup and plank challenges! Cheers, Scott
Enjoyed your videos for a while but it is more and more relevant as I tore the ligaments in left ankle this weekend so out of commission from running for a few weeks and starting to plan adventure races! Looking forward to your upcoming videos.
A great positive video Ben , sprained my ankle about the same time as your injury, I fell while out running with the Hashers..aged 61 work in health care . Thankyou for your kind comments . Walked 6 miles today .
Great news Alan on your 6 miles today!! All the best for the rest of your recovery back to running 🙌
Keep it up Ben! Will love to watch your recovery. As the marathon has been cancelled I have put myself up for a Charity Challenge that i am going to be planning over the next 8 months. I’m planning on walking from Newcastle Upon Tyne all the way down to Dover. If you have any tips of long expeditions please give me a message. Cheers!
Broken ankle, still wearing unbelievably short running shorts! That's dedication!!! Haha! I love your vids, Ben! Simply one of the best! Take care!
Hi Ben..didn’t know you were northampton born aswell 🎉 glad you are on the mend
Great news that it is healing good. It all takes a little time!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Good to see you on the mend fella. Be that Phoenix 💪
I was hoping for a stat breakdown of the boot also. Stack height, offset, cushioning etc. I’m watching this way after the event as I’m looking for inspiration after injuring myself. I’m delighted it all worked out.
How adorable is Ben with the cat!!!! ❤
My pull-up PB is 13, but i can comfortably do like 7-8. I get tested with them at school every year so i usually practise a month leading up to the test. Actually quite interested to see what progress you can do with pull-up strength :)
NHS, boot lol! I had one of those after my stress fracture, developed into an
actual fracture during the 2017 Manchester marathon. It depends how long you will need to wear it, but Amazon has better boots (assuming you can also get it delivered). Count yourself lucky, you did not have to order your own crutches from Argos. Get well soon, it’s only a minor blip. You have got to “play the long game” as i like to tell everyone, especially at the moment.
The hospital have given me everything for free so far.. pretty great service. Only need the boot for 4 weeks.. and not 24/7. I had a aircast boot a few years ago when I had a stress fracture and it was better.. will check amazon, but think this will be fine for now as it’s not too long in it. Hope you’re all recovered now Mark!!
Thanks for brightening up our days in these dark times. I work in the events industry in NZ which along with Tourism and the Airlines, has been devastated by cancellations due to this terrible situation. Many of us will be losing our jobs shortly, many already have. But as runners we are a determined & resilient breed, and we'll battle through this, supporting & looking out for each other.
Stay healthy & take care
So sorry to hear your situation there Malcolm.. hopefully some of these companies will see the benefits of keeping people in their jobs, so they are motivated and engaged for all the opportunity when we emerge from the other side of this. It’s true that we will support each other, remotely and face to face when that’s allowed again. All the best to you and hope your running is going well!
Thanks Ben. We need to try and stay positive, be grateful for what we have and look after those we love. We will get through this, it will just take some time. All the best mate.
Thanks to you I've now got a pair of New Balance 1080v10s and wow What. A. Shoe! Loving the upload schedule at the moment as this social distancing is so boring 😅. Keep up the good work 💪
Ah, great stuff.. hope you get to use them a lot over the next few weeks Connor!
@@BenParkes I certainly will, cheers legend
Good news about the ankle Ben. I will be working hard to get fit at home these next few weeks. There are lots of bodyweight exercises that people can do which are really beneficial to running.
Yes! Our next video will show a lot of those.. recording it tomorrow!
At the moment I can do 12 perfect form pull ups, 20 plus dodgy form. When was solely swimming several years ago I'd do multiple sets of 30+ with pretty good to dodgy form when tired. I'm a lot leaner now with less upper bulk. Pull ups are my go to, they work so many muscles, and great for swimming catch. 🏊♂️
I can do about one inch of a pull up! Currently I’m working on getting my first press up - it’s a good challenge 🤩
15 pull ups for me boss. Nice to see recovery is going well.
Hope you get well brother
You're doing great Ben , hope everything goes really well for you and good luck with the pull up challenge 💪💪
P.s are you going to finish painting that wall🤣
Relatively new subscriber here, couldn't believe it when you said you were from Northampton !! Me too ha 😊
Hi Ben,
I really hope all gets better soon 🙏.
My father absolutely loves watching your videos and our family is really sad that we won't be able to see you at Comrades this year. Though I was thinking that since it is my dad's birthday on the 22nd of March please could you give him a shoutout (his name is Eugene Maritz and is going to be running the Comrades marathon again this year) . Thank you so much ❤️🇿🇦
Great to hear your on the mend mate! Maybe time to read U Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins if you never got chance before? Very inspirational reading plus he has setbacks too! 👍🏼
I’ve listened to the audiobook when out running.. it’s awesome!
Ben Parkes aww brill! Yeah I bought the book and the audiobook (for the extra content) and listened to it whilst training for the Manchester marathon. It was great company on them long training runs!
If I did 1 or 2 I'd be delighted. Upper body strength wouldn't be my strength or should that be lack of it. Like everything mental strength goes a long way in recovering. All the best
It was so refreshing that you didn’t mention the stuff that is going on around nowadays. Thank you for just being your normal, usual self. Really appreciate it!
4:52 - "The Boot has a sort of rocker thing on the bottom" Hoka One One medical boot? Should pitch the idea to them! LOL
All things considered, with everything going on you probably did your ankle in the nick of time, what with operations etc being cancelled now.
Yeah.. I'd like to think a broken ankle would get fixed regardless of the timing (if needing surgery.. as not all do) But happy and relieved to get in and out today.. as now the next app is 4 weeks away and now I know the surgery is all good.. it wouldn't be a complete disaster if I never went back. (but of course I will, so long as I can and there isn't a greater need from others)
Sarah the next judge of Britain’s got talent !! Amazing guys !! 😅😂
Pull ups (Ben) or chin-ups Sarah)? You may want to start with negative (eccentric) ones first for either exercise as this will help your progress to full on concentric contractions of the upper back or biceps. Good luck and cheering you on from Airdrie, Canada!
dokutaaguriin always learning! Sarah will be right next time 😀 hope all is well in Canada! 🇨🇦
@@BenParkes In my area of the country it is still winter! I just got back from -9C, light snow, -16C (3F) with the wind chill run.
LMAO you guys are hilarious, congrats on the pullups xD
Great to see you guys staying motivated during this crazy time. How about a comedy review of your new "running" boot? Think it would be best for 5ks? How does it compare to the next %? 🤣
Haha.. will do it when I’m back running for sure!! 400m in the boot PB!
Great progress! Did you ever tell us how this accident happened?
Not yet.. but will do soon!
@@BenParkes we are waiting...and now we have seen the incision from the operation...curiosity is running out of control. Ha
"It's a cold and miserable day he announces" (wearing 3" side split shorts). Great legs and all, but perhaps we can GoFund you a pair of trackpants?
Today’s were 2 inch!! 😀
@@BenParkes haha - well, we all lose an inch when it gets cold!
aaron leeman-smith 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Go the under grip instead of the over grip. Different muscle focus. A pull up is generally considered to use the under grip. I reckon you could get 5.
2:42 - I remember that bit when I did mine it's so weird when you can't move it at all and it's all swollen...
You all healed up now ok? Hope so!!
@@BenParkes Yeah it was a few years ago, much better now thanks! You'll get back before you know it.
Can we have a shoe review for the boot? Interested how the rocker helps your efficiency 😂 - glad you're doing well
It’s coming don’t worry!!
Self-isolating before it was fashionable, Ben!
Pull ups are hard you need full range of motion hard to do on the door pull up bars. Try dips, rows, press ups. Planks etc static not so much good. Dynamic movements Check out a book by Mark Lauren (YOu are your own gym) all exercises you can do around the home.. Keep it up.
I have a broken right ankle I struggle so much with my crutches
Ben you need to do beginner chin ups first. Get two seats and a broom handle sit between the seats put the handle across the gap. Hope this helps
I'm getting an ankle operation next week
NHS 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Those crutches you have I’ve only seen them in europe . The ones I have go under my armpits and I asked about the euro ones and they said it was for people with like cerebral palsy . I found it strange.
Yes, that is odd! 99% of people who need crutches here would use these ones.. you sometimes see the other type, but it's rare. I guess they all do the same thing really!
Ben Parkes next week is my second follow up post surgery . It will be six weeks so I’m excited about that . A boulder took out my ankle when I was hiking
Well I broke my arm, but I have been doing chin ups for years but well done both... you have to start some wear....so just give your self a goal and stick to it!
20 pull ups is my PB so far...but on about 16 at the minute. Being quite a skinny guy and a good strength-weight ratio helps!
20, wow!! Hopefully there in a month or three!
Impressive, being sixteen stone with the strength of an eight-stone man, maybe you can guess my PB?
Do we know how it actually happened yet? Sorry to ask
Not yet.. but will so very soon!
Ben's ankle will heal before my plantar fasciitis....
Get well soon Garrett!
All these steps have been the same for me so far but for some reason my scar is much longer and after removing the stitches they put me in a full cast for about another 3 weeks, am really worried 😞 any advise would really apreciate
Good time to recover now all races cancelled will you be doing London marathon in October
Will the metalwork stay in forever and will yii be able to run with it in
It’s staying in forever (that’s what I’ve been told at this stage) will be able to run with it no problems
Great to see the nice progress, but scary to see the lack of corona measures...! was that an Uber...? :-S
Take it from a mainlander: start taking more safety measures, asap! Take care!
Yes it was a Uber. We can’t drive..as my ankle is broken.. bus isn’t great for isolation. We washed our hands constantly before, during and after the hospital visit. Haven’t personally been outside for 8 days.
Ben, did you cycle after 4 weeks? I’m 4 weeks into a fractured ankle. I’ve a boot but want to \ feel I can cycle on an exercise bike.
can they tell after 2 weeks?
5....
(51 - 82kg)
Comprerò il cappellino....
Ben be careful with cycling! First - you start that. Next thing you add swimming for some non-load bearing exercise. Before you notice you will be doing Ironman distances. Be careful!
Dawid Kowalski haha.. hopefully one day! 😀
Did you ever tell how the accident happened?
Not yet.. but I will. Still trying to piece everything together!
@@BenParkes Ok, good. Wasn't sure if I missed it. Get well soon! I'm glad you have Kiki looking after you :)
I still don't know how you did it. Did I miss that bit?
Simon Lewis will be in the video after the next one!
@@BenParkes Cheers. Glad you are on the mend and love your relentless positivity.
Hi Ben , I'm able to do about 25 pull-ups but I only weigh about 52 kilograms.
Wow!! Get you!! I'll hoping to get up to that sort of level after a month or two!! :-)
I can only do a couple at 90KG, even though I work very hard at upper body strength! That's from full 'droop', not the half ones Ben did ;) It's all about power to weight.
only 13 days in cast ? that's very unusual usually it's 30 days
Has Ben actually said what this ‘accident’ was and what actually happened?
Not yet.. but I will do soon! Just piecing together everything that happened
@@BenParkes It would be very bad to break a bone in the next few months. We'd like to know so we can learn from your mistakes. Best wishes on your recovery
Northampton! #shoearmy
Glad they didn't tell you to just leave the cast on for social distance.
Yes.. was a relief to get the cast off.. as it signals progress!
Sarah's from Bury?
Yes.. and very proud of it!! Haha
Sarah did a chin up not a pull up
Never knew you were a fellow Northamptonian
It what it says on my passport! We moved when I was about 10!
@@BenParkes proberly a good thing
Sarah did the harder pull-ups
Great video. Sarah did a chin up not a pull up. Try neutral grip pull ups, they are the easiest.
Always learning.. will be right next time!! 😀
Do you ever wear trousers Ben ?
Just for weddings mainly
Any carbon plates in that boot? : )
I wish!!
Was just waiting for a diaster with the pull-up bar.
You hanging there and then the whole contraption comming down and then a broken arm...
But my..., you need muscles !!!
I'm 57 and does 8 and I've gotten to have spaghetti-arms.
Use a pool instead of a bike, you’ll be able to start excersising now
If all the corona stuff wasn’t here I probably would.. but limiting my time outside to all but essentials right now!
That American accent from Sarah 😂😂😂
Ha, caught me by surprise too!!
Seems londoners are hardly following social distancing...take care Ben
Not planning on going outside for a very long time!
No halfsies!
some nails still dead? :d
Handy for hanging clothes
