Was London 2023 one of the best of all time??
Gave you a fist pump as a fellow runner around mile 4 🤜🤛
I did it in 2019 and this time too. The crowds were SO INCREDIBLE THIS YEAR! Didn’t think it could get much better than 2019, but despite the weather being gnarly, the crowds were just AMAZING!!! Was about to quit at around 37k and they started calling my name and I somehow made it to the end! Still not sure how, and I got a PB 🤷♂️👌🏃💪
Incredible atmosphere out there! I saw you in the yellow assembly area before the start ( sorry if i startled you when i shouted across 😏 ). Congrats on a great time.
I absolutely love the race, its my 8th London, and my first marathon in 4 years, I was pleased to run 3.14.30.
Yesssssss it was the best evvvvvvrrrr and I was only spectating!! 😅I came up from Glasgow with my friend to watch it we were 800 metres from finish line and had Scots flag on barrier.... Yous did brilliant Ben & Sarah well done!!... x
Best I can remember
The marathon is a beast. Especially if you are running 2:43, while holding a camera, talking to everyone you see, smiling like crazy, and enjoying yourself.
had the same thought just now...happily chatting while running that speed, incredible! I would probably not get out a single word, just keeping every least bit of energy to get through that race :D
@@Logs888 I cannot talk at all towards the end of a 24m 5K! Well done!
How the fuck you get that time crazy
2:43 with a camera is insane!! i managed 4:09 with 4 months of training and a 6 week injury in between and was in pieces by the end. your time should never be understimated and you 100% should be proud of both your commitment, dedication and achievement to the day. well run Ben.
Ran London on Sunday, was my first ever marathon. It was incredible, what a weekend. During the race, it hurt, really hurt... Finished in just under 6 hours and I told myself never again. 36 hours later I've entered next years ballot again.... I think i've got the bug. Great video :D
Well done and good luck in the ballot!! 🙌🙌
6 hours means you trained little! Why going for such big races when you just cant train? I'll never understand.
Everyone can finish a marathon in 6 hours, but the beautiful part is the process to arrive there!!!
I guess its now trendy and popular to run a marathon, and people does just because of that. Sad
@@dididubalier2196 you’ll look back on this comment and cringe at yourself.
@@dididubalier2196 You need a hug ?
@@dididubalier2196 It's quite pathetic to gatekeep and tear others down. Maybe you're just unhappy with yourself...?
Hi Ben. I ran the London Marathon too on Sunday, this was my third time at trying to break 3:30 and ran a 3:15 so I was very happy. Without a doubt the best race I have ever run not just personally but the atmosphere was incredible especially given the poor weather. Glad you were fit and able to run in the end, excellent time well done 👍🏼👍🏼
Great run! 👊🚀🙌
Fantastic job Ben! Congratulations. And oh my god, what are the odds of this. I just ran Boston last week. I used your Advanced Marathon Training Plan for the second time to train for it. My finish time on my watch was EXACTLY the same as yours at 2:43:10, and my official time for Boston was EXACTLY the same as yours for London at 2:43:07!! What are the odds of that!
After many years at Run Dem's cheer zone I'm DELIGHTED to finally make the vlog! Awesome running Ben - great to see you out there!
Thank you for the cheers.. it's always epic through that point!! Big up to the Run Dem Crew!
First marathon ever for me at London. 2:49:37 all thanks to your plan #gettingitdone 👊🏻🕺
amazing time Dan B. Congratulations!
Wow, that's incredible Dan. Many congratulations!!
@@wfsm1th cheers William! 😊
@@BenParkes cheers Ben. I really enjoyed the process. Nice change from cycling. 10k race next in June. I dropped you a message via chat on your website. Probs lost in the sea of messages you must get each day.🙈
Wow! What an incredible first marathon! 🚀🏃👏
The elation and your face as you ran the route was amazing.
‘Big Ben in the background and this is little Ben giving it everything’ very poetic
First time spectating, I cried nearly non-stop watching everyone do their absolute best. This video made me smile from start to finish, your joy was contagious. Hope you are both enjoying the recovery.
That summed the spirit of running with an amazing crowd and the sights of the London Marathon 2023.
You did amazing, strangely it felt emotional.
It was a great watch ,thank you 👍😁.
Never change Ben!! I could feel the emotion in this race. The marathon is an emotional distance and I'm so happy you share this aspect of it. Congratulations on a fantastic performance!!
My first ever marathon on Sunday and I've got the bug. I ran for charity and am asthmatic and 51 years old but the crowds got me around. This is an incredible effort and achievement. You and The Welsh Runner Matt are inspiring me to really work hard on improving my running. Well done Ben!! 🎉
Well done Rachael!! 🙌
Past you running the opposite way where the they run next to each other for a while. You looked in the zone - I looked in pain 🤣 the crowds were AMAZING! They got me to the end 👍🏃👌
Well done!! The crowds were the best ever I think!
Hi Ben , this was my first marathon ever and I am 62 years old male with a background of having suffered from a mini stroke and also had a right knee key hole surgery. My finishing time was 5:48.07 having started at 11:35 ( 21 minutes late due to transport glitches coming fro Reading Berkshire). I literally welled up all through your video...from the sense of achievement I was feeling. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU!
Well done to you Charles completing your 1st marathon!!
Well done mate!
❤
This was my first ever marathon, did it for JDRF charity and managed a time of 3:24. Super proud considering I've been running for less than a year. What an incredible day and atmosphere very emotional crossing the finish line. Can't wait to do another, not sure how it could compare though!
What a brilliant video Ben! Congratulations, we're all very proud of you both!!! I followed your Run Camp advice + Training Plan - managed a new PB in London of 3:48, just 3 weeks after getting a PB of 3:49 in Brighton. I've worked very hard but this wouldn't have happened with you/Sarah/Shane. Thank you mate!
Ben, I found it so difficult to watch this and not cry!! What great footage you got. I completed the London Marathon for the first time and oh my, it did not disappoint.
I’d only ever ran a 5km race before doing the marathon and I wasn’t able to train as much as I would have liked to due to injury. But was so pleased to get a time of 4 hours 1 minute despite this (I didn’t take into consideration the extra distance I would end up doing on the day to get around people, and high five the crowd, when planning my pacing. So close to that sub 4). As a running and marathon novice, I attribute my whole food plant based diet to my success on the day and my great recovery. I’ve been back on the netball court and back at CrossFit this week despite pushing my body to its limits on Sunday.
Thank you for all your content, it was invaluable in helping me to prepare for the big day. And thank you for being such a great advocate for veganism #plantpower!!!
I’m the guy in the black and white vest when you’re running through your kit at around 3.45 in this - pretended all the people cheering for you was for me, gave me a boost! 😂
Well done Harry!!
Great work Ben, I was the lady who said hi at the expo while you were waiting for Sarah in the loo. Amazing time and effort and your right London crowds were amazing. I loved it! 3:54 time for me 🎉
Well done Rebecca. 🎉 Nice to meet you!
My first marathon! Your beginners plan got me round in 4.03, which I am delighted with, but people are already telling me I need to do it again to knock that 3 mins off! Epic crowds, awesome volunteers and a lot of heroic runners. Wow!
Congratulations Michael!! Great time 🙌
Awesome running Ben. I ran it virtually wearing one of your Ben Parkes caps and having trained to your online plan and made my first sub 4 Hrs; 3:45. So pleased 🎉
Great run Tony!! That’s a really good time. Congratulations and thank you for the support!
I was tearful on tower bridge at my first London. It was the first one after lockdown so extra special to see so many people cheering. Well done both of you, another excellent video.
Ran my first ever marathon at the weekend!! London was amazing! So many puddles & wet but good fun. 3HR 46Mins - happy with that time. Vapour fly 2 held the distance well. Your training plan was spot on and perfect for this race!!! Many thanks.
Well done Jordon!! Great result. Congratulations!
@@BenParkes thank you!! Will be buying the Marathon Plan Advanced - L4 - Going for Valencia and another international race!
Grats Ben! Working back my self from a major injury. It’s inspiring seeing you work hard and getting back to the level of running you want to be at!🎉
I'll never understand how is it possible to run with this pace, INSANE!!
Congrats Ben! I just ran my second half marathon on Sunday (following your beginner plan) and managed to beat my September half marathon time by almost 8 minutes, coming in at just under 1:57:00! I'll be using your beginner marathon plan for my first marathon in October, which I start training for in just over a month! Thank you for helping me realize these goals and for the continued inspiration!!!
Well done Ed!! Good luck in October! 🙌
I ran past you going opposite way. I was amazed as I looked at the time and figured you must be around there then you sailed by. Told myself it was just a little lap of Canary Wharf then I’m on the home stretch too. 3rd marathon attempt and finally broke 4 hours - over the moon with 3:48.
Well done Ben! I was a 320 pacer and came in 3'19'27! Was an amazing experience!! Met u and Sarah afterwards! Well done both of you 🎉
Great pacing Chris!! Nice to meet you 🙌
Totally agree 100 %, my First London marathon Sunday and first sub 4 hr, absolutely loved it more than any other run, loved re living it in this video thanks and congrats Ben parks 🙌🎉
Yes, and Exactly same for me!!
Well done James! Congratulations!
Congrats Ben. You make it look effortless when you're still talking to the camera and smiling at the last mile. I've just purchased your beginners marathon plan ready for next year's Manchester marathon
Hi Ben - it was great to see you out on the course on Sunday (you can hear me shouting your name at 2:39 ). Your (2019?) london marathon video was a big inspiration that led towards me running London in 2021 and 2022, and now I know what an amazing experience it is it’s absolutely joyous to see you getting that again in this video!
I ran it Sunday mate, what an atmosphere..4.25.17 but you’re time is incredible, should be very proud of that!
Was running next to / near you for about a KM around the 6 km mark... was going to speak to you but you weren't filming and looked like you were in the zone..
finished my second marathon on your marathon training plan.. this one in 2:47:21..
definitely the best race i have ever done, the atmosphere is amazing.. my first London so not sure how it compares to other years...
Ahhh amazing Ben and Sarah!! I completed it and so glad to finish but can’t seem to shake the disappointment of my time of 4hrs 22 as I completed Belfast 4hrs 6 😅 given that I had tonsillitis and felt like warmed up death I should be proud of the achievement 🎉 hats off to both of you for the amazing pace and perseverance you both have for running and completing marathons. You truly inspire thousands and millions to come in the future! Onwards and upwards and hope I get to cheer you on in person in the future!! Xx
I'm always so impressed by how you film and talk while running that fast and long! Next level stuff, great video 😁✨️
Well done Ben - great work completing this marathon event. Even more kudos for being able to film this event and talk throughout! Fantastic!
Turning a corner and facing Tower Bridge was a highlight for sure. So much support all across the course, I’ve never experienced anything close to that before. This was my third marathon and first London, I didn’t get a PB but I was so happy just to be there 🎉
Thanks for this video!
This is how I would like to run my first marathon last quarter of this year, smiling and having fun. Congratulations from the Philippines! 💜💜💜
Yes i can see that. How excited we are..Congratulations
Well done, Ben! (And Sarah!) This one got me, man… really emotional run. I would absolutely love to do this one sometime. What an amazing city and community supporting everyone out there. Thanks for sharing, as always!
Excuse me, I don't speak english well.. Sorry 😊. Muchas gracias por tu video, me has hecho vivir otra vez este maratón. Gracias, muchas gracias. Eres un gran corredor... hablando con simpatía y emoción... y corriendo a ritmo de campeón!!! 👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪
Incredible Ben! Well done once again. Great to see you out there smashing it 🎉
Women's winner Sifan Hassan Jeez !
What a Metaphor for life in general.
One minute struggling.
Battled through the lows.
Making sure those around her just after drink stations were hydrated.
Ends up winning ! Wow
Congratulations to everyone who completed.
Best thing of all ?
A year where no poor soul lost their life in the final stretch !
Just been released that a very experienced runner who completed in 2hrs 53, sadly passed away after the event
❤ RIP Steve Shanks
I spotted myself just behind you!! Between 5 and 10k into the race. I finished in 2:43:53 so must have been not far behind you the entire race and had no idea you where there! Well done Ben to run that time and Film at the same time! 🎉
Well done Peter!!
It was very fast day for Kiptum. Good day all runners of course too🏃.
Hi Ben! I ran London for the first time on Sunday and absolutely loved every minute! Marathon blues are a real thing😂 Thanks for your pre London Marathon video all the tips really helped me on Sunday! Well done for Sunday! 😅
Well done to you too Ellie!!
London 2023 was my first marathon experience. Your videos helped me prepare for the day and execute the plan successfully. Thanks for the help.
This video brings back so many memories of the route. Thanks for sharing.
I ran London this year, it was my first Marathon and was such an incredible experience!! I cried watching your video because it brought it all back. I got 4:09:10, I’ve entered Manchester next now and want to get my time under 4 hours. I also managed to raise £2155 for the Alzheimer’s Society which made it even more special ☺️
Awesome Rachel. Big congratulations to you for the run and that amazing amount raised too. That’s so good. Hope you’re all recovered now after the race!
Probably one of the few times you hear the words 'Open your legs and dig deep' and it not be weird 🤣
Very well done Ben (and Sarah)! You are both an inspiration, quite literally. So pleased for you both.
Chris Hipkins (now the NZ PM) said something similar during Covid lockdown
Great video …. I was slightly behind you (2:47) loved reliving the morning . See you in New York
Ben and Sarah are amazing people and athletes. Well done, Ben. You embody all the things I love in runners.
After 10 years of trying, i got my first BQ, aged 55 3/4 on Sunday at the Glass City Marathon in Toledo Ohio, beat the 3;35 by 9 mins. See you in both in Boston. Your upbeat videos, especially around setbacks and bounce backs, the real test of a runner, are inspirational. Great work, congrats to Sarah!
Congratulations Andy. I bet that felt amazing crossing the finish line knowing you’d done it.
Congratulations on your London Marathon performance, See you in Comrades Marathon
Woooooooow! Double congrats “little Ben”!!! 👏👏👏👏👏🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝 what a raaaaaace and OMG what a footage! You put the viewers into the race! Really well done! Big fan of you and I enjoy hear your accent! Cheers from Brazil! 😉
Thanks Ben & Sarah for your 15 week training plan, PB's twice 🙂. Last Oct trained for Kosice in Slovakia 03:30:00 and ran 3:17:30 and London Marathon aimed 3:15:00 which I thought I would be pushing it and did 3:13:43 Whoop! Whoop! I'm over the Moon, I listened to my body and rested when needed, missed a few days and swapped days depending on work and races (X-country helped alot Hahaha)
Now running sub20 for 10km 🙂Next Marathon Sept and hoping to get in the top 3 for M60, my new age cat next month. London was Fantastic and look forward to toeing the line once more.
Well done to you both and Happy Running 🙂
Well Done! Great races all around. I did Paris at the beginning of the month, then there was Boston and now London - missing a bunch of others I know. Great to see more and more people out running and also out supporting the runners. The crowds in Paris were fantastic and certainly were equally great in London. Have put my name in the lottery for London - may have to pay more through a tour to finally get in.
Fantastic! It was my first proper marathon and your video just sums up the incredible atmosphere all the way round. Feel very privileged to have experienced it all. Congratulations on both your great times and good luck with Comrades!
Well done to you too Sue!! Congratulations!
It was my 2nd marathon and 1st London...What an epic experience, so emotional and full of absolute joy - even the rain added something to it !! Great video that captured the atmosphere so well, and well done out there 👍
Ran Boston in my Ben Parkes hat for my 6 ⭐️ Loved this video, really captured the excitement of the race!
Congratulations on your 6 star!! Wow.. I'm jealous! 🙂
Haha 3:28 is me and friends handing you a Buxton water at mile 12 , I saw you fly past and gave a cmon ben! We’ll done to both of you!
Thank you for the cheers and helping so many runners get round. The volunteers are so special!!
Ran my first marathon here on Sunday- truly an indescribable experience, was so emotional but never felt so much love in my life! Can’t wait to do another :))
Congratulations for both of you.
Amazing video! Yeah I did London last year - the atmosphere is amazing - there's crowds the whole way through - the best part for me is cute shark and mile 13-15 - Tower Bridge didn't meet my super high expectations when everyone else said it was the best - there's not that much more people here than Rotherhithe when I came around.
Hi Ben, you are an absolute legend. I ran in the London Marathon as well on Sunday. It is almost impossible to describe the noise all along the street - I felt over whelmed at stages. It was just an amazing experience. Cramps got to my right calf and caused all sorts of issues for me. I could only run / walk from mile 16. Reflecting back, it may have been due to leg strength, hydration, number of runners affecting my natural stride length etc. All of which I am looking to put right for the next marathon. I will also look to use your training plan. Thank you for doing what you do. It is helping so many people.
I smiled all the way through this 😁👊🏻
Awesome video, LOVE the LM.
Great job Ben 👍
Was on volunteer duties doing baggage. Had a quick chat and selfie with Matt Rees. Bloomin nice fella. Back for more volunteering next year if I don't get in via the ballot.
Yes Matt is lovely! Good luck in the ballot 🙌
Congratulations to you both amazing.
With a sacral stress fracture, i've just stopped to run since 18th march to avoid impact and heal the bone to race on sunday! I'm speechless about how the crowd was vibrant and amazing.. I've printed my name on my soar running singlet and wherever i was they scream GO BRUNO! THE BEST FUEL to get until the finish line.. tks for share this outstanding atmosphere
Woowee. Amazing maaan, congratulations. So happy for you. Hopefully i could run this next year. Just submitted for ballot.
Ran my first marathon last year was not the best 5 hours 47 mins. Been following you for last 12 months and taking in all the advice. Ran Manchester Marathon in 4 hours 30 knocking off 1 hour 17 mins. Your posts and support has deffo got me there 👍🏼
Well done Ben and Sarah, I've been following you for a while and really pleased you finally did London and are feeling back on track. Great channel keep up the good work
Hi Ben, i ran London last sunday. Its was my first marathon and honestly just one of the best days of my life! Iv recovered from ovarian cancer 2 years ago and to get 5:41 at my first go i am so stoked. Been following your beginner training program and just wanted to say thanks so much its been brilliant. I ran wokingham too this year and would loved to have come and say hi. Well done on your time, no doubt you will crush that championship time later this year!
Btw, i rocked out a Ben parkes hat last sunday and it was just perfect 💪
Well done!!!!
I. loved. It.
What an emotional event. The crowds were spectacular. Thank you London.
Like you, missed my goal but the whole thing was incredible regardless.
Well done! Congratulations on a great race!
First ever Marathon for me (age 54) and I Loved it! Ran in steady 10 min miles and achieved 4 hours 35 mins. It was epic 🎉 loved your video too
Well done Andy!! 🙌
First ever London and I was simply overwhelmed by the support. On all the official pictures all you can see is a smile on my face. Greenwich was loud, Tower Bridge was crazy but Canary Wharf was insane. Well done all for getting it done.
I had the best time ever running this race. Was very nervous as I had some lower back and hip pains/sciatica in the week leading up and it all went away with the wave of energy from start to finish. Managed to get round in a respectable 3h 38. But most importantly I loved every second. Even the painful bit over the last 3 miles.
Great job with your time.. especially with the issues leading in Antony! Well done!!
A few metres behind you on the start line Ben, atmosphere was unreal!
Well done and thanks for all the motivation and drive you give us with all these videos. Good luck to both of you for the rest of the year!
I'll say it again
Your the man Ben
What an inspiration you and Sarah are........Thank you.👍
Hi Ben, Amazing effort as your video truly captured the atmosphere, course and all the incredible sights. It was my first London marathon and ranks right up there as one of my favorites! I saw you run past me on the other side of the course as that was a thrill for me after watching several of your London marathon videos preparing for the race. Congratulations once again and I’ll never forget my first London marathon! Hope to see you in Chicago 10/8/23 as I’ll be running as well!
Yes Ben!! Well done! Been a long road since that skateboard accident but you are getting better and better!!! What an inspiration!! And of course congratulations to Sarah as well!! Love both of you guys!
A wonderful run Ben, congrats to yourself , and Sarah on her BQ !! Wow . Amazing crowds and yes I was tearful finishing too in 4:05 - my quickest for a dozen years !
Well done Michael! 🙌
Well Done! Well Done! Congrats!!
Great job by both of you so awesome,and so many thank yous for doing these videos .so much enjoyment in watching them.great job.
Well done! Congratulations 💐💐💐
Thank you for sharing your London Marathon experience! The crowd was as noisy as I remember. Ran in London in 1999, my 11th marathon, 3:32. Cutty Sark hadn't burned yet, had goosebumps on the Tower Bridge, almost cried. The finish was unforgettable. Got the medal from Jonathan Edwards.
I was out in force volunteering alongside my running club, we man Rainbow Row. It was such a magical experience to volunteer, after running it last year. Nothing beats london marathon.
Congratulations Ben was Amazing run and video about 😍👍👍👍💥🎈😉💖
Wow, what an amazing marathon, with an amazing crowd. Well done champion🏅
Big congrats to both of you. You smashed it after a week of not feeling well. You're such an inspiration to many of us. Keep up the good work Ben :)
Amazing Ben. First time running London and although I failed to get my sub 3 target it was such an epic day.
1st time at London & ran 3:02.06. Amazing experience!
I'm so pleased for you, especially after being so sick!!!! You're the man!
Absolute machine. Running well under sub 4km pace, with a camera while talking!
Well done... well deserved...🎉 Great to watch you both on Strava...great video....well done to Sarah too❤
Wonderful! Really felt the emotion. These races are emotional experiences. Thanks for taking us on this journey will you. Congrats to you and Sarah.
The smile on your face while running say everything 🔝👍💪 Well done 🤗
Awesome achievement Ben and Sarah!!!! Congratulations! looking forward to welcoming you to South Africa for the Comrades
